United Community Banks, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Earnings
Strong Loan Growth and Margin Expansion Drive Higher Revenue and EPS
GREENVILLE, SC – October 22, 2025 – United Community Banks, Inc. (NYSE: UCB) (United) today announced net income for the third quarter of 2025 of $91.5 million and pre-tax, pre-provision income of $126.0 million. Diluted earnings per share of $0.70 for the quarter represented an increase of $0.32 from the third quarter a year ago and an increase of $0.07 from the second quarter. Note that the third quarter of 2024 included losses from the sale of United’s manufactured housing loan portfolio.
On an operating basis, United’s diluted earnings per share of $0.75 were up 32% from the year-ago quarter. Strong 27% year-over-year revenue growth and a lower provision for credit losses were partly offset by higher expenses.
United’s return on assets was 1.29%, or 1.33% on an operating basis, up from 0.67% and 1.01%, respectively for the third quarter of 2024. Return on common equity was 9.2% and return on tangible common equity on an operating basis was 13.6%. On a pre-tax, pre-provision basis, operating return on assets was 1.83% for the quarter. At quarter-end, tangible common equity to tangible assets was 9.71%, up 26 basis points from the second quarter.
Chairman and CEO Lynn Harton stated, “We are proud of our third quarter financial results. Our teams drove solid loan and deposit growth as well as healthy margin expansion. These actions resulted in meaningful improvement in our return on assets and return on tangible common equity. Tangible book value per share grew by $0.59 from the second quarter – an 11% annualized rate. Loans grew by $254 million, or 5.4% annualized, while customer deposits, excluding seasonal outflow of public funds, were up $137 million or 2.6% annualized. Non-interest bearing deposits, excluding public funds, grew at an annualized rate of 4.7%. Operating efficiency and operating leverage also both continued their improving trend.”
Harton continued, “I want to thank our outstanding team members across the bank for continuing to deliver not only great financial results, but also exceptional customer service and an atmosphere of trust and caring that makes United a great place to work.”
Net charge-offs were $7.7 million or 0.16% annualized of average loans, down two basis points from the second quarter. Nonperforming assets were 0.35% of total assets, up slightly from 0.30% for the second quarter. Provision for credit losses improved by $3.9 million from the second quarter. As of September 30, the allowance for credit losses represents 1.19% of loans, down slightly from 1.21% at June 30.

| • | Noninterest expenses were up $2.9 million compared to the second quarter on a GAAP basis and up $4.3 million on an operating basis, primarily driven by performance-based incentives |
| • | Efficiency ratio of 54.3% on a GAAP basis, or 53.1% on an operating basis, improved both linked quarter and year over year |

This financial information includes certain operating performance measures, which exclude merger-related and other charges that are not considered part of recurring operations, such as “noninterest income – operating”, “noninterest expense - operating”, “operating net income,” “pre-tax, pre-provision income,” “operating net income per diluted common share,” “operating earnings per share,” “tangible book value per common share,” “operating return on common equity,” “operating return on tangible common equity,” “operating return on assets,” “return on assets - pre-tax, pre-provision - operating,” “return on assets - pre-tax, pre-provision,” “operating efficiency ratio,” and “tangible common equity to tangible assets.” These non-GAAP measures are included because United believes they may provide useful supplemental information for evaluating United’s underlying performance trends.
