UNITED FINANCIAL BANCORP, INC.
ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
AND QUARTERLY DIVIDEND


GLASTONBURY, Conn., April 18, 2017United Financial Bancorp, Inc. (“United Financial” or the "Company”) (NASDAQ Global Select Stock Market: “UBNK”), the holding company for United Bank (the "Bank”), announced results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

The Company reported net income of $13.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to net income for the linked quarter of $14.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share. The Company reported net income of $11.9 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

"Over the last three consecutive quarters, United Financial Bancorp, Inc. has averaged a Return on Average Assets (ROA) of 0.87% and a Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (ROTCE) of 10.89%, as the Company continues to make progress on its Four Key Objectives communicated in April 2016," stated William H.W. Crawford, IV, Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank. "I want to thank our dedicated employees, executives, and Board of Directors for their relentless focus on making United Bank a better bank for our customers and communities each day."

Balance Sheet

Assets totaled $6.70 billion at March 31, 2017 and increased $97.1 million, or 1.5%, from $6.60 billion at December 31, 2016. At March 31, 2017, total loans were $4.94 billion, representing an increase of $42.3 million, or 0.9%, from the linked quarter. Changes to loan balances during the first quarter of 2017 were highlighted by a $44.6 million, or 6.2%, increase in commercial business loans and a $16.6 million, or 4.0%, increase in owner-occupied commercial real estate loans. Total residential mortgages increased during the first quarter of 2017 by $11.2 million, or 1.0%. Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $6.3 million, or 6.9%, during the linked quarter, while the available for sale securities portfolio increased by $32.3 million, or 3.1%.

Deposits totaled $4.79 billion at March 31, 2017 and increased by $79.2 million, or 1.7%, from $4.71 billion at December 31, 2016. In the first quarter of 2017, money market deposit accounts increased $157.2 million,

or 12.9%, and NOW checking deposits increased $39.2 million, or 7.9%, from the linked quarter, reflective of a seasonal increase in municipal deposits and successful new account acquisition. These increases were offset by a $110.1 million, or 6.3%, decrease in certificates of deposit, some of which migrated to money market deposit accounts.

Total Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased by $37.8 million, or 3.6%, over the linked quarter, while other borrowings increased by $48.2 million, or 39.2%, due to an increase in the use of reverse repurchase borrowings.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased by $1.1 million, or 2.6%, to $44.3 million during the first quarter of 2017, from $43.2 million during the linked quarter. Interest income totaled $55.2 million in the first quarter of 2017 and increased by $1.5 million, or 2.9%, in comparison to $53.6 million in the linked quarter. Average interest-earning assets increased slightly by $59.0 million, or 1.0%, from the linked quarter. Average loan balances increased by $93.9 million, or 1.9%, from the linked quarter, highlighted by a $59.6 million, or 8.9%, increase in commercial business loans and a $27.0 million, or 5.4%, increase in home equity loans. Average residential mortgage balances increased by $12.4 million, or 1.0%, during the first quarter of 2017.

Interest expense increased by $420,000 to $10.9 million during the first quarter of 2017 from $10.4 million in the linked quarter. Average balance shifts in the first quarter of 2017 included a $222.6 million, or 13.7%, increase in NOW and money market deposits and a $156.2 million, or 8.4%, decrease in certificates of deposit. The growth observed in the money market and NOW checking deposits was largely driven by seasonal increases in municipal accounts.

The non-GAAP tax equivalent net interest margin for the first quarter of 2017 increased by seven basis points to 3.03% compared to 2.96% for the linked quarter, reflective of the modestly asset sensitive position of the balance sheet to changes in interest rates. The yield on interest-earning assets increased by ten basis points in the first quarter of 2017 to 3.75% as compared to the linked quarter, and the cost of total interest bearing liabilities increased by three basis points to 0.85% in the quarter ending March 31, 2017 as compared to the linked quarter. The total funding cost increased by one basis point to 0.74% in the quarter ending March 31, 2017. The improvement in the yield on interest-earning assets, as compared to the linked quarter, was largely driven by a six basis point increase in the yield on commercial real estate loans, which represents 34.3% of the Company's interest-earning assets. Further contributing to the linked quarter yield improvement was an eight basis points increase in the average residential loan yield and an 11 basis point increase in the average home equity loan yield.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses decreased by $1.1 million, or 31.9%, to $2.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to $3.4 million for the linked quarter. The decrease in the provision for the quarter is the result of slowed growth in the covered loan portfolio. Net charge-offs for the quarter ending March 31, 2017 totaled $1.8 million, or 0.14%, as a percentage of average loans outstanding, as compared to $1.6 million, or 0.14% as a percentage of average loans for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. Factors considered in the provision for loan losses include, but are not limited to, historical charge-offs, the composition of the portfolio, the current level of non-performing loans and charge-offs, local economic and credit conditions, the direction of real estate values and delinquency trends.

Non-Interest Income

Total non-interest income decreased by $431,000, or 4.8%, to $8.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 from $8.9 million in the linked quarter. The decrease in the first quarter's non-interest income was driven primarily by a $1.5 million decrease in mortgage banking activities as compared to the linked quarter. Total non-interest income increased by $1.8 million from the comparable quarter in 2016.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 totaled $34.7 million and increased by $1.4 million, or 4.2%, from the linked quarter. The increase in non-interest expense during the quarter was primarily due to the $813,000, or 22.2%, increase in occupancy and equipment expense as compared to the linked quarter, largely driven by weather related expenses. Salaries and employee benefit expense increased by approximately $451,000, or 2.3% over the linked quarter. This increase was mainly due to seasonality of withholding taxes and lower deferred expenses related to loan originations, and was partially offset by decreases in commissions and incentives and health insurance costs.

Asset Quality

Asset quality remained strong and stable. Non-performing assets increased by $461,000 to $36.4 million at March 31, 2017 from $36.0 million at December 31, 2016. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets as compared to the linked quarter remained unchanged at 0.54% for March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Capital

The Company reported Tangible Common Equity ("TCE") of $545.2 million, or 8.3% of average assets, at March 31, 2017. Tangible book value per share increased to $10.75 at March 31, 2017 from $10.53 at December 31, 2016. The increase was primarily driven by the impact of the Company's net income of $13.7 million and improvement in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of an increase in the market value of the Company's investment portfolio and derivative strategy, partially offset by the cash dividend payment to shareholders of $0.12 per share, which reduced shareholders' equity by $6.1 million. Book value per share at March 31, 2017 was $13.13.

Dividend

The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of $0.12 per share to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 28, 2017 and payable on May 10, 2017. This dividend equates to a 2.73% annualized yield based on the $17.58 average closing price of the Company’s common stock in the first quarter of 2017. The Company has paid dividends for 44 consecutive quarters.

United Financial Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Dollars In Thousands)
(Unaudited)

In addition to evaluating the Company’s results of operations in accordance with GAAP, management periodically supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide the reader with additional perspectives on operating results, financial condition, and performance trends, while facilitating comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures, rather, they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial information.

    The efficiency ratio is used as a common measure by banks as a comparable metric to understand the Company’s expense structure relative to its total revenue; in other words, for every dollar of total revenue we recognize, how much of that dollar is expended. In order to improve the comparability of the ratio to our peers, we remove non-core items. To improve transparency, and acknowledging that banks are not consistent in their definition of the efficiency ratio, we include our calculation of this non-GAAP measure.

Pre-provision net revenue is a measure that the Company uses to understand fundamental operating performance before credit related expenses and tax expense. It is often expressed as a ratio relative to average assets which demonstrates the “core” performance and can be viewed as an alternative measure of how efficiently the Company services its asset base.

Return on average tangible common equity is used by management and readers of our financial statements to understand how efficiently the Company is deploying its common equity. Companies that are able to demonstrate more efficient use of common equity are more likely to be viewed favorably by current and prospective investors.

The Company believes that disclosing these non-GAAP metrics is both useful internally and is expected by our investors and analysts in order to understand the overall performance of the Company. Other companies may calculate and define their supplemental data differently. A reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP measures and other performance ratios, as adjusted, are included on pages F-9 through F-11 in the following press release tables:
