FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UNIVEST FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

SOUDERTON, Pa., April 28, 2021 - Univest Financial Corporation (“Univest” or the "Corporation") (NASDAQ: UVSP), parent company of Univest Bank and Trust Co. and its insurance, investments and equipment financing subsidiaries, today announced net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $32.6 million, or $1.11 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $838 thousand, or $0.03 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Pre-tax pre-provision income1 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $29.1 million, an increase of $7.0 million, or 31.9%, from the first quarter of 2020.

COVID-19
As the re-opening of our local economy continues and progress is made in getting the COVID-19 vaccines distributed and administered, access to all Univest financial center lobbies resumed on April 5, 2021.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken various actions to support our customers and the communities we collectively serve, including modifying outstanding loans and leases. Loans and leases that were modified via principal and/or interest deferrals were done so in accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 and the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus and have not been categorized as troubled debt restructurings. These loans and leases had a combined principal balance of approximately $73.0 million as of March 31, 2021, which represents approximately 1.5% of the loan portfolio, excluding Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans1.

information on these loans, including a breakdown of such loans by type, please see the "Loan Portfolio Overview" table within this document.

Paycheck Protection Program
On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, was signed into law, which provides new COVID-19 relief funds, additional funding under the PPP and the establishment of PPP Second Draw Loans. The Small Business Administration (SBA) announced the taking of certain steps under the PPP to further promote equitable relief for smaller businesses. Under this program, we successfully originated approximately 1,200 PPP loans and secured funding of approximately $168.6 million for our customers as of April 15, 2021.

As of March 31, 2021, $528.5 million in PPP loan originations remain outstanding. During the quarter, we recorded income of $4.5 million within net interest income related to these loans, of which $2.3 million was the result of forgiveness and pay downs of PPP loans totaling $119.7 million. As of March 31, 2021, we have $9.5 million of net deferred fees on our balance sheet, which represents approximately 55% of the initial deferred fee amount.

Loans
Gross loans and leases, excluding PPP loans2, increased $63.5 million, or 5.3% (annualized), from December 31, 2020 primarily due to increases in commercial real estate loans, despite a $58.1 million decrease in commercial line utilization. Gross loans and leases, excluding PPP loans2, increased $437.7 million, or 9.8%, from March 31, 2020 primarily due to increases in commercial real estate loans. As of March 31, 2021, commercial line utilization was 30.2% compared to 34.0% at December 31, 2020 and 38.3% at March 31, 2020.
Deposits
Total deposits increased $68.9 million, or 5.3% (annualized), from December 31, 2020 primarily due to an increase in consumer and commercial deposits offset by a decrease in public funds and brokered deposits. Total deposits increased $904.3 million, or 20.5%, from March 31, 2020 primarily due to increases in commercial, consumer and public funds deposits.

Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income of $45.4 million for the first quarter of 2021 increased $2.9 million, or 6.9%, from the first quarter of 2020. The increase in net interest income for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first

quarter of 2020 was primarily due to $4.5 million in PPP income, a $3.5 million decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and growth in loans partially offset by a decrease in loan and investment yields.
Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.12% for the first quarter of 2021, compared to 3.02% for the fourth quarter of 2020 and 3.48% for the first quarter of 2020. Excess liquidity reduced net interest margin by approximately eleven basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to thirteen basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and six basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. This excess liquidity was primarily driven by strong deposit balance growth during the last twelve months, which was partially attributable to the various stimulus initiatives associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. PPP loans had a favorable impact on net interest margin of four basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to an unfavorable impact of seven basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and had no impact for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Excluding the impacts of excess liquidity and PPP loans, the net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.19% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to 3.22% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and 3.54% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $23.3 million, an increase of $4.9 million, or 26.5%, compared to the first quarter of 2020.

Net gain on mortgage banking activities increased $3.2 million, or 116.4%, for the quarter primarily due to an increase in volume and expansion of margins. Investment advisory commission and fee income increased $442 thousand, or 10.4%, due to increased assets under management driven by favorable market conditions and new customer relationships. Insurance commission and fee income increased $223 thousand, or 4.7%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in premiums for group life and health and commercial lines and an increase in contingent commission income of $36 thousand, which was $1.1 million for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Contingent commission income is largely recognized in the first quarter of the year.

Other income increased $1.3 million, for the quarter primarily due to an increase of $967 thousand in fees on risk participation agreements for interest rate swaps driven by increased customer activity due to the current rate environment. Additionally, equity securities measured at fair value increased $384 thousand for the quarter.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was $39.5 million, an increase of $763 thousand, or 2.0%, compared to the first quarter of 2020.



Salaries, benefits and commissions increased $944 thousand, or 4.0%, for the quarter primarily attributable to additional staff hired to support revenue generation across all business lines, annual merit increases and increased variable compensation due to strong pre-tax pre-provision income during the first quarter of 2021. The increases in salaries, benefits and commissions were offset by $582 thousand of incremental capitalized compensation related to the origination of PPP loans. Professional fees increased $431 thousand, or 32.7%, for the quarter primarily attributable to increased consultant fees in support of our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and training initiatives. Data processing expenses increased $290 thousand, or 10.5%, for the quarter primarily due to continued investments in customer relationship management software, internal infrastructure improvements and outsourced data processing solutions. Deposit insurance premiums increased $132 thousand, or 26.2%, for the quarter primarily due to an increased assessment base due to asset growth.

Other expense decreased $947 thousand, or 15.6%, for the quarter primarily due to a $656 thousand charge related to the extinguishment of long-term debt that occurred in the first quarter of 2020 and a $295 thousand decrease in travel and entertainment expenses due to COVID-19 related restrictions.

Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses
Nonperforming assets were $38.2 million at March 31, 2021, compared to $40.5 million at December 31, 2020 and $39.0 million at March 31, 2020.

Net loan and lease charge-offs were $288 thousand during the first quarter of 2021 compared to $489 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The reversal of provision for credit losses was $11.3 million for the first quarter of 2021, of which $12.9 million (after-tax benefit of $10.2 million), or $0.35 diluted earnings per share, was attributable to favorable changes in economic-related assumptions within the Corporation’s CECL model partially offset by a reserve increase attributable to loan growth. The provision for credit losses was $21.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, of which $20.3 million (after-tax charge of $16.1 million), or $0.55 diluted earnings per share, was attributable to adverse changes in economic-related assumptions.

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment was 1.32% at March 31, 2021, compared to 1.56% at December 31, 2020, and 1.53% at March 31, 2020. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment, excluding PPP loans3, was 1.46% at March 31, 2021 compared to 1.72% at December 31, 2020 and 1.53% at March 31, 2020.

3 Non-GAAP metric. A reconciliation of this and other non-GAAP to GAAP performance measures is included at the end of this document.



Tax Provision
The effective income tax rate was 19.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to an effective income tax rate of (261.2%) for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 reflects the benefits of tax-exempt income from investments in municipal securities and loans and leases.

Dividend
On April 28, 2021, Univest declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend will be paid on May 26, 2021 to shareholders of record as of May 12, 2021.

This press release of Univest and the reports Univest files with the Securities and Exchange Commission often contain "forward-looking statements" relating to trends or factors affecting the financial services industry and, specifically, the financial condition and results of operations, business and capital management strategies, markets and products of Univest. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties in that there are a number of important factors that could cause Univest's future results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: (1) competition; (2) changes in interest rates; (3) changes in asset quality, prepayment speeds, loan sale volumes, charge-offs and credit loss provisions; (4) general economic conditions; (5) legislative or regulatory changes that may adversely affect the businesses in which Univest is engaged; (6) technological issues that may adversely affect Univest financial operations or customers; (7) changes in the securities markets or (8) risk factors mentioned in the reports and registration statements Univest files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Additionally, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and whether the continued reopening of businesses will result in a meaningful increase in economic activity. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: (1) demand for our products and services may decline; (2) if the economy is unable to remain open, and higher levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase; (3) collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value; (4) our allowance for credit losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties; (5) the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; (6) a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in the elimination of or a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend; (7) our wealth management revenues may decline with continuing market turmoil; (8) litigation, regulatory enforcement risk and reputation risk regarding our participation in the Paycheck Protection Program and the risk that the Small Business Administration may not fund some or all PPP loan guarantees; (9) our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely; (10) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional



resolution costs; and (11) further and sustained decline in our stock price or other triggering event could result in an impairment charge being recorded. Univest undertakes no obligation to revise these forward-looking statements or to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release.
