PEOPLE’S UTAH BANCORP REPORTS

SECOND QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

AMERICAN FORK, UTAH, July 27, 2016 – People’s Utah Bancorp (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: PUB) today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Consolidated net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $5.6 million compared to $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2016 and $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of 6.4% and 19.6%, respectively. Diluted earnings per share was $0.31 compared to $0.29 in the first quarter of 2016 and $0.30 for the second quarter in 2015. Diluted earnings per share for the first and second quarters of 2016 includes the impact of the increased shares issued in the June 2015 initial public offering.

“PUB continues its positive trend of posting strong operating results for the second quarter of 2016 compared to the prior quarter of 2016. Our current quarter’s net income, diluted earnings per share, return on average equity and return on average assets all increased compared to the prior quarter. We are also pleased with our overall loan growth year-over-year, the improvement in our net interest margin and efficiency ratio. On the credit quality side we experienced a relatively low level of nonperforming assets for the quarter. We are pleased to once again be included in the Russell 2000 Index,” said Richard Beard, President and Chief Executive Officer of People’s Utah Bancorp.

Earnings Summary

Net income for the second quarter of 2016 of $5.6 million compared to $5.2 million in the first quarter of 2016 was impacted primarily by the following factors: (a) higher net interest income of $0.5 million, (b) an increase in non-interest income of $0.6 million, (c) offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $0.3 million and in income tax expense of $0.5 million. These factors contributed to diluted earnings per share increasing to $0.31 per share in the second quarter of 2016 compared to $0.29 per share in the first quarter of 2016.

Net income for the second quarter of 2016 of $5.6 million compared to $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2015 was impacted primarily by the following factors: (a) higher net interest income of $2.3 million, (b) an increase in non-interest income of $0.3 million, (c) offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $0.9 million and in income tax expense of $0.9 million. Additionally, weighted-average shares increased by 2.5 million shares or 15.9% during the second quarter of 2016 compared to the comparable quarter in 2015 resulting primarily from our initial public offering in June 2015. These factors, in spite of the increase in weighted-average shares, contributed to higher diluted earnings per share of $0.31 per share in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $0.30 per share in the second quarter of 2015.

Return on average assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was 1.43% compared to 1.36% in the first quarter of 2016. Return on average equity for the second quarter of 2016 was 10.23% compared to 9.88% in the first quarter of 2016.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2016 increased $0.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to a higher percentage of loans held for investment in our earning asset mix and an increase in loans held for investment of $25.7 million. This contributed to a higher net interest margin of 4.66% in the current quarter compared to 4.58% in first quarter of 2016.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2016 increased $2.3 million compared to the comparable quarter of 2015, primarily due to a higher percentage of loans held for investment in our earning asset mix, an increase in loans held for investment of $104.4 million and higher loan yields. This resulted in the higher net interest margin of 4.66% in the current quarter compared to 4.44% in the second quarter of 2015.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2016 was $25,000 higher compared to the first quarter of 2016 principally due to loan growth experienced during the second quarter. The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2016 was $225,000 lower than the allowance for second quarter of 2015 due to continuing improvement in credit quality, net recoveries in the current quarter, and minimal net charge-offs in the current and recent quarters. Additionally, we continue to experience low levels of non-performing assets which was 0.38% of total assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income for the second quarter of 2016 increased by 16.9% compared to the first quarter of 2016 and increased by 6.2% compared to the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to higher mortgage banking and card processing income, offset by declines in service charges. Although the Company has experienced higher mortgage banking income and residential mortgage loan volumes compared to prior years, this growth may not continue in future periods because the mortgage banking business has historically been a cyclical business.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2016 increased by $0.3 million or 2.2% compared to the first quarter of 2016 and increased by $0.9 million or 8.0% compared to the second quarter of 2015. The increase in non-interest expense in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter 2016 was primarily driven by higher marketing and advertising expenses of $0.1 million and various other expenses of $0.3 million, offset by lower data processing expenses of $0.1 million when compared to the first quarter of 2016. The increase in the second quarter 2016 compared to the comparable quarter in 2015 is primarily from higher salaries and benefits of $0.7 million and various other expenses of $0.2 million, including expenses related to higher marketing and advertising and occupancy costs. The increase in salaries and benefits is primarily due to annual salary increases, higher payroll tax and medical benefits, new hires related to the expansion of our leasing division, and variable compensation costs to support our balance sheet and income growth.

Our efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2016 improved to 57.4% compared to 59.3% in the first quarter of 2016 and 60.29% in the second quarter of 2015. While we continue to focus on improving our efficiency ratio, the ratio could be impacted by investments in new branches which we hope to open in 2016 and early 2017, and the expansion of the leasing division. Since 2012 our leasing division has purchased lease paper from other originators. In the second quarter of 2016 we began hiring leasing personnel and incurring expenses for the expansion of our leasing division to begin originating leases. We anticipate modest growth in 2016 from our current portfolio.

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2016 was 37.9% compared to 35.5% for the first quarter of 2016 and 34.4% in the second quarter of 2015. The tax rate in 2016 is higher than 2015 due primarily to a one-time tax credit of approximately $400,000 in 2015. Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2016 increased compared to the first quarter of 2016 due to adjustments in the expected recoverability of certain tax credits.

Loans and Credit Quality

Loans held for investment in the second quarter of 2016 increased 10.5% year-over-year and 4.6% from December 31, 2015. Average loans grew $119.3 million to $1.1 billion from the second quarter of 2015 to the current quarter of 2016.

Non-performing loans increased slightly to $5.4 million as of June 30, 2016 compared to $5.2 million as of the first quarter 2016 and declined from $7.4 million as of the year-end 2015 and $8.7 million as of the second quarter of 2015 due to improving credit quality in the loan portfolio. As of June 30, 2016, the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.38% compared to 0.37% as of March 31, 2016, 0.51% as of the December 31, 2015 and 0.62% as of June 30, 2015. The allowance for loan losses to loans was 1.45% as of June 30, 2016, 1.39% as of March 31, 2016, 1.45% as of December 31, 2015 and 1.56% as of June 30, 2015.

Investment Securities

Investment securities at June 30, 2016 declined by 14.2% to $342.1 million compared to $398.6 million at year-end 2015 to partially fund loan growth; and increased 8.9% from $314.2 million at June 30, 2015 primarily from the investment of net proceeds received from the Company’s initial public offering and the year-over-year growth in deposits.

Deposits and Liabilities

Total deposits at the end of the second quarter of 2016 were $1.35 billion compared to $1.31 billion at December 31, 2015 and $1.27 billion at June 30, 2015. Increases during these periods were primarily due to growth of the client base and new customers. Non-interest-bearing deposits were 31.9% of total deposits as of June 30, 2016 compared to 31.2% as of December 31, 2015 and 30.4% as of June 30, 2015. Short-term borrowings declined from $27.2 million at December 31, 2015 to $2.9 million at June 30, 2016.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity increased to $220.4 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $209.4 million as of year-end 2015 and $201.6 million at June 30, 2015. The increase resulted primarily from net income during the intervening periods net of cash dividends paid to shareholders.

Dividend

As previously announced on July 20, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share. The dividend will be payable to shareholders of record on August 1, 2016 and paid on August 12, 2016. The dividend payout ratio for earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 22.9%.
