Topic:
Earnings

LYNNWOOD, WA / ACCESSWIRE / July 31, 2024 / U & I Financial Corp. (OTCQX:UNIF), the holding company ("Company") for UniBank ("Bank"), today reported a quarterly Net Loss of $827 thousand or $0.15 loss per share in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $2.4 million of Net Income or $0.44 earnings per share for the same quarter of 2023. Net income decreased by $3.2 million or $0.59 per share, primarily due to an increase in the Provision for Credit Losses of $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to no provision during the same period last year.

As of June 30, 2024, Total Assets was $572.6 million, a decrease of $34.6 million or 5.7% from $607.2 million at June 30, 2023. Net Loans were $441.5 million at June 30, 2024, decreasing by $40.5 million or 8.4% from $482.1 million at June 30, 2023. Total Deposits decreased by $65.0 million or 12.6% to $451.9 million at June 30, 2024 compared to $516.9 million a year earlier.

As mentioned in previous earnings releases, the Bank has experienced credit deterioration from Bank borrowers with "commercial-equipment" loans. These loans had provided financing to borrowers to purchase equipment from manufacturers. The manufacturers also service the equipment through operating arrangements with the respective borrowers. The Bank will continue to monitor equipment loans and will continue to adjust our reserves as needed. As of June 30, 2024, the Allowance for Credit Losses (ACL) on Loans and ACL on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposure were $17.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, as compared to $5.1 million and $15 thousand, respectively, as of June 30, 2023. Additional information on credit quality is presented in the tables below.

"During the second quarter the Bank continued to face challenges caused by commercial-equipment loans," said President & CEO Stephanie Yoon. "It will take time to work through these problems so that the Bank can resume its prior growth."

Descriptions of the various risk grades are as follows :

Special Mention: Assets having potential weaknesses that if left uncorrected, may result in decline in borrower's repayment ability. However, these assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficent risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard: An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and pay capacity of the borrower or of any collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values.

Loss: Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Any loans downgraded to this category are generally charged off soon after.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans - The following tables present the allowance for credit losses under ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses by portfolio segment and by internally assigned grades as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposure - The Bank has originated certain loans in the commercial-equipment segment with government guarantees and has subsequently sold many of the guaranteed portions of these loans in the secondary market. Upon defaults by the borrowers, the Bank would be required to repurchase the guaranteed portions of the loans and submit the repayment requests to the respective government agency. The agency may decide not to honor the guarantees if certain conditions are not met. Guarantees, as defined under ASC 460, Guarantees , that create off-balance sheet credit exposure are in the scope of ASC 326-20 (CECL) when such guarantees for loans have an implicit repurchase arrangement and thus may present an off-balance sheet credit risk . As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 the Bank had $3.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of such guarantees sold of commercial-equipment loans that were graded below Pass. The Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposure for these sold guarantees was $2.2 million and $2.3 million as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
