U & I Financial Corp. Reports Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

LYNNWOOD, WA / ACCESSWIRE / January 30, 2024 / U & I Financial Corp. (OTCQX:UNIF), the holding company for UniBank, today reported quarterly net loss of $158 thousand or $0.03 loss per share in the fourth quarter, as compared to $3.4 million or $0.62 earnings per share for the same quarter of 2022, decreasing by $3.6 million or $0.65 per share, primarily due to the $3.1 million in Provision for Credit Losses recognized this quarter as compared to having none for the same quarter of 2022.

As of December 31, 2023, Total Assets reached $622.6 million, increasing by $35.8 million or 6.1% from the year earlier period of $586.8 million. Net Loans ended at $482.3 million, increasing by $27.9 million or 6.1% from the year earlier period of $454.4 million. Finally, Total Deposits grew by $26.1 million or 5.4% to $514.4 million from the year earlier period of $488.3 million.

"The Bank faced significant earnings challenges for the fourth quarter primarily due to the provision for potential deterioration of certain credit relationships. However, under the CECL model we believe that the Bank has adequately built the reserve as of year-end, freeing the Bank to focus on future earnings," said Board Chair D. Benjamin Lee. He added that, "Although the earnings outlook appears subdued this year as with many community banks, UniBank will continue to advance with its strong capital position, prominent community standing, and solid liquidity position."
