There are a number of important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: competitive pressures among depository institutions increase significantly; changes in interest rate environment may adversely affect net interest income; gain on sale margins; loan accretion; prepayment speeds, loan sale volumes, charge-offs and loan loss provisions; general economic conditions, either national or in the states in which United does business, are less favorable than expected; changes in the securities markets; continued diversification of assets and adverse changes to credit quality; any economic slowdown that could adversely affect credit quality and loan originations. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.

3Q17 HIGHLIGHTS Net income of $56.7 million with diluted earnings per share of $0.54 Generated return on average assets of 1.19%, return on average equity of 6.89%, and *return on average tangible equity of 13.02% Quarterly dividend of $0.33 per share equates to a yield of 3.6% based upon recent stock price Strong expense control with an efficiency ratio of 51.3% Asset quality and capital position remain sound *Non GAAP measure. Refer to appendix.

EARNINGS SUMMARY Linked Quarter (LQ) LQ Net Income was up $19.7 million to $56.7 million. EPS increased to $0.54 LQ due primarily to a reduction in merger expenses (down $22.6 million) and an increase in net interest income. Net Interest Income increased $14 million due to higher average earnings assets related to the CFNL merger (up $427 million), higher accretion income (up $5.4 million), and an additional day in the quarter. Non Interest Income decreased $2.3 million LQ due to a decline in mortgage banking revenue. The decrease was partially offset by increases in trust & brokerage revenue, deposit service revenues, and bankcard revenues. Non Interest Expense decreased $15.5 million due to a decline of $22.6 million in merger charges. Partially offsetting the decrease was a $2.2 million increase in OREO expense.

PERFORMANCE RATIOS Strong and consistent profitability and expense control. 2Q17 impacted by $23 million in merger expenses. *Non GAAP measure. Refer to appendix.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN Net Interest Margin increased from 3.44% to 3.65% LQ. Increase in Net Interest Margin LQ driven primarily by increased loan accretion from the Cardinal acquisition. Loan accretion associated with acquired loans increased to $12.8 million in 3Q17. Scheduled loan accretion for 4Q17 is $7 million, with scheduled accretion of $24 million and $21 million for FY 2018 and FY 2019, respectively. Interest bearing deposits increased 4 bps LQ due mainly to the inclusion of a full quarter of CFNL deposit balances. $ in millions
