United Bancshares, Inc. 
Quarterly Report
March 31, 2024 

A Letter to Our Shareholders, Clients, and Team Members:

Despite a continued difficult operating environment, your Company is reporting pre-tax income of approximately $1.93 million, which equates to an 11.33% return on average tangible shareholders' equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The Company also continues to have a strong liquidity position and asset quality metrics.

As compared to the same quarter of last year, earnings for the quarter were suppressed by significant headwinds in net interest income, which decreased by $1.4 million (16.5%). Despite that challenge and continued inflationary pressures, the Company has offset those headwinds by reducing non-interest expense by $569,000 (6.8%), reducing the provision for credit losses by $265,000, and improved non-interest income of $536,000 (30.8%). A significant amount of the increase in non-interest income ($435,000) is from the recognition of gain on sale of residential mortgage loans originated in prior periods, which was previously held in reserve.

I am also pleased to report that the Board of Directors declared a $0.22 per common share dividend payable June 14, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 31, 2024. The dividend is approximately 36% of the reported net income for the first quarter of 2024.

While we expect a challenging operating environment to continue to have a negative impact on your company's earnings throughout 2024 and into 2025, we believe that continued efforts on cost controls, new loan originations, and upward repricing of existing loans through this cycle will offset some of that marginal earnings pressure. The efforts of the team 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
President & CEO
