Exhibit 99.1
On July 23, 2020, United Bancshares, Inc. issued the following release:
United Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: UBOH – news), a financial holding company headquartered in Columbus Grove, Ohio with consolidated assets of $1.0 billion today announced operating results for the quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2020, unaudited.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Corporation reported net income of $5,668,000, or $1.73 basic earnings per share. This compares to the second quarter of 2019 net income of $2,285,000, or $0.70 basic earnings per share. The increase in operating results for the second quarter of 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income of $1,341,000, and an increase in non-interest income of $4,988,000, offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses of $750,000, an increase in non-interest expenses of $1,313,000, and an increase in the provision for income taxes of $883,000. The increase in net interest income resulted from interest and $337,000 in loan fees generated through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), as well as a decrease in deposit interest rates. The increase in the provision for loan losses was due to loan growth and allocations of reserves for the uncertainties related to COVID-19.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 totaled $6,756,000, or $2.07 basic earnings per share, compared to $4,099,000, or $1.25 basic earnings per share for the same period in 2019, an increase of $2,657,000 (64.8%). The increase in operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2019 was primarily attributable to increases in net interest income of $1,530,000, and non-interest income of $5,314,000, offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses of $1,200,000, an increase in non-interest expenses of $2,301,000, and an increase in the provision for income taxes of $686,000. Similar to the second quarter results, the increase in net interest income for the six month period resulted from interest and fees on PPP loans and lower deposit interest rates, and the increase in the provision for loan losses was attributable to loan growth and additional reserves in response to the COVID-19 uncertainties.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, non-interest income was $8,121,000, compared to $3,133,000 for the second quarter of 2019, a $4,988,000 increase, which was attributable to increases in gain on sales of loans of $3,779,000, gain on sales of securities of $287,000, and other non-interest income of $921,000 (97.3%). For the six months ended June 30, 2020, non-interest income was $10,955,000 compared to $5,641,000 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $5,314,000 (94.2%), which was attributable to increases in gain on sales of loans of $4,924,000, gain on sales of securities of $287,000, and other non-interest income of $103,000. The significant increase in gain on sale of loans was attributable to an increase in loan activity by the residential mortgage and governmental lending operations, along with an increase in the average gain on sale per loan. During the six month period ended June 30, 2020, there were 784 loans sold totaling $201 million, compared to 385 loans sold totaling $90 million during the same period of 2019. The average gain on sale approximated $10,000 during the first six months of 2020, compared to $8,000 for the same period of 2019. The significant increase in other non-interest income was related to fluctuations in the Corporation’s loan hedging program.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, non-interest expenses were $8,805,000, compared to $7,492,000 for the second quarter of 2019, a $1,313,000 (17.5%) increase. The significant quarter-over-quarter increases included salaries and benefits expense of $844,000 (19.5%), loan fees of $217,000, data processing expenses of $118,000, and consultant fees of $172,000.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2020, non-interest expenses were $17,015,000 compared to $14,714,000 for the same period of 2019, a $2,301,000 (15.6%) increase, which was attributable to increases in salaries and benefits expense of $1,495,000, loan fees of $312,000, data processing expenses of $143,000, and an increase in consultant fees of $170,000.
Total assets exceeded $1.0 billion at June 30, 2020, compared to $880.0 million at December 31, 2019, increasing $134.0 million (15.2%). The increase in total assets was primarily the result of increases of $93.3 million (16.3%) in net loans, $42.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, $8.5 million (55.7%) in loans held for sale, offset by a decrease of $9.4 million (5.1%) in securities available-for-sale, and a decrease of $1.0 million (10.1%) in other assets (including accrued interest receivable). Deposits during this same period increased $124.1 million (17.5%). Many of the aforementioned balance sheet changes can be attributed to the impact of the Corporation originating $118.0 million of PPP loans during the second quarter of 2020. These loans contributed to significant increases in customer deposits which in turn contributed to increases in cash and cash equivalents. In response to possible liquidity concerns at the time, the Corporation also sold certain investment securities during the second quarter of 2020 resulting in the aforementioned gains of $287,000.
Shareholders’ equity increased from $94.8 million at December 31, 2019 to $104.8 million at June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily the result of net income during the six month period ended June 30, 2020 of $6,756,000 and an increase in unrealized securities gains, net of tax of $3,756,000, offset by dividends paid of $687,000. The increase in unrealized securities gains during the six month period ended June 30, 2020 was attributable to the Federal Reserve decreasing the Federal Funds Target Rate by 150 basis points (1.50%) during March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Net unrealized gains and losses on securities are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheets.

Exhibit 99.2
United Bancshares, Inc.
Quarterly Report
June 30, 2020
Shareholders, Clients and Team Members:
Despite the unprecedented operating environment, I am pleased to report that your Company recorded pre-tax income of $8.2 million for the first six months of 2020, which was a 69% increase as compared to the same period in 2019. In addition to those record profits, your Company also reached $1 billion in assets and the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $0.14 per common share second quarter dividend, which amounted to approximately 8% of net income for the second quarter.
I could not be more proud of the Company’s team members. Early in the quarter they recognized the tremendous needs in our communities to help companies fund their employees’ wages, lower interest rates on their home mortgages and remain open to ensure confidence in the country’s financial systems. They worked numerous extra hours, made house calls, relocated their offices, assisted non-clients and other banks, made at least one personal phone call to every client, and countless other sacrifices to live up to our motto of “Success through Service”. Those efforts not only made a positive impact on others, but added significantly to the Company’s bottom line.
Increased revenues for the period were primarily the result of the Company’s ability to close approximately $268 million in residential mortgage loans generating $8.5 million in gains on loan sales, and secure over 1,500 Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans totaling $118 million, and generating $4.8 million in loan fees. For the period ended June 30, 2020, $1.0 million of fees received from the Small Business Administration was recorded as a reduction to non-interest expenses to cover PPP loan origination costs and $337,000 of deferred fees was amortized into interest income. The remaining $3.4 million of fees received from the SBA have been deferred and will be amortized into interest income over the two year life of the loans. While we have not experienced increases in delinquencies or losses through June 30, 2020, management allocated an additional $1,450,000 to our allowance for loan losses to recognize the added risk of this environment over the first six months of the year.
Although it is still unclear how long our communities or the economy will be negatively impacted, one thing is clear, the continued accomplishments of your Company is the undeniable result of the ongoing efforts of the Company’s dedicated team members and Board of Directors in implementing our Strategic Plan. Their efforts and our strong corporate values of respect for and accountability to our shareholders, clients, colleagues, and communities are the foundation for the continued success of your Company. Thank you for your ongoing support and the trust you have placed in us.
Respectfully,
Brian D. Young

* Some of the financial measures included in this press release are not measures of financial performance recognized by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include tangible book value, return on average tangible equity, net interest margin (tax-equivalent), and the efficiency ratio. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of its performance, and believes financial analysts and investors frequently use these measures, and other similar measures, to evaluate capital adequacy. Reconciliations of non-GAAP disclosures used in this press release to the comparable GAAP measures are provided in the accompanying table. Management, as well as regulators, financial analysts and other investors may use these measures in conjunction with more traditional bank capital ratios to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of goodwill or other intangible assets, which typically stem from the use of the purchase accounting method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total shareholders’ equity, total assets, book value per share, return on average assets, return on average equity, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
