U & I Financial Corp.: U & I Financial Corp. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results

Finanznachrichten News

LYNNWOOD, WA / ACCESS Newswire / January 31, 2025 / U & I Financial Corp. (OTCQX:UNIF), the holding company ("Company") for UniBank ("Bank"), today reported a quarterly Net Loss of $16.6 million or a loss of $3.02 per share in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to a Net Loss of $18.2 million or a loss of $3.33 per share for the same quarter of 2023. The Provision for Credit Losses of $5.8 million recognized during the fourth quarter of 2024 was $20.5 million lower than the $26.3 million recognized for the same quarter last year. However, the Bank had an Income Tax Expense of $10.5 million during this quarter as a result of a $12.0 million Deferred Tax Assets Valuation Allowance expense as compared to an Income Tax Benefit of $5.1 million for the same quarter last year, resulting is a $15.7 million increase in Income Tax Expense.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Net Loss was $31.1 million or a loss of $5.67 per share, compared to a Net Loss of $10.8 million or a loss of $1.98 per share for the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to less Net Interest Income of $7.1 million and higher Interest Tax Expense of $9.8 million.

At December 31, 2024, Total Assets were $522.3 million, a decrease of $87.7 million or 14.4% from $610.0 million at December 31, 2023. Net Loans were $386.1 million at December 31, 2024, decreasing by $78.5 million or 16.9% from $464.7 million at December 31, 2023. Total Deposits decreased by $74.8 million or 14.5% to $439.6 million at December 31, 2024 compared to $514.4 million a year earlier.

The Bank continued to experience credit deterioration in commercial-equipment loans, with a $18.1 million charged off during the fourth quarter of 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the remaining loans totaled $10.8 million compared to $29.6 million as of September 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2024 the Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL") on Loans and ACL on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposure were $6.3 million and $65 thousand, respectively, compared to $15.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2024.

The Bank's capital ratios were 5.60%, 7.53% and 8.80% for Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. The Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio were "adequately capitalized" per the regulatory guidelines.

"The Company had a very challenging year in 2024 due to the deterioration of the commercial-equipment loans. While the credit exposure of these loans has decreased by year end, the Bank is still actively working with borrowers to prevent further deterioration," said President & CEO Stephanie Yoon. "Looking ahead, we still have much work to do. Hence, we have added new talent in key areas of the Bank in addition to the new Chief Credit Officer who started in September 2024. With a strengthened team, I am hopeful that we can turn things around and continue the rebuilding process."

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 classificaiton.

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.

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 December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024 the Bank had $126 thousand and $2.6 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 $65 thousand and $1.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, respectively.
