FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UNIVEST FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

SOUDERTON, Pa., July 22, 2020 - Univest Financial Corporation (“Univest” or the "Corporation") (NASDAQ: UVSP), parent company of Univest Bank and Trust Co. and its insurance, investments and equipment financing subsidiaries, today announced net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 of $2.1 million, or $0.07 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $16.5 million, or $0.56 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $2.9 million, or $0.10 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $32.5 million, or $1.11 diluted earnings per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Pre-tax pre-provision income1 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $25.6 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 15.1%, from the second quarter of 2019. Pre-tax pre-provision income1 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $47.6 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 7.1%, from the comparable period in the prior year.

During these challenging times, we continue to responsibly serve the needs of our customers while prioritizing the health and safety of our employees. For the majority of the second quarter we operated our financial centers as drive-through only where these capabilities existed. Additionally, we allowed for controlled and limited access to our financial centers to allow customers to access their safe deposit boxes and to serve customers at locations without drive-through capabilities. On June 22nd, we began the process of re-opening of financial center lobbies. After the successful re-opening of six financial centers, we proceeded to the next stage of our re-opening plan on June 29th, by allowing for access to the lobbies of all Univest financial centers with the exception of our Souderton financial center which is being utilized by our customer support team as well as for employee training. Additional safety protocols have been put

in place in accordance with orders and guidance issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey, as applicable. We enabled approximately 95% of our non-financial center personnel to work remotely and continue to encourage our employees to work remotely in accordance with recommendations from State authorities. Our employees, systems and processes have managed this unprecedented change seamlessly and with great success.

As a result of the impact of COVID-19, we have taken various actions to support our customers and the communities they live in and serve, including modifying outstanding loans and leases and waiving certain deposit service charges. As of June 30, 2020, we have modified approximately 1,420 loans and leases via principal and/or interest deferrals in accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act and the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus and have not categorized these modifications as troubled debt restructurings. These loans and leases have a combined principal balance of approximately $720 million as of June 30, 2020, which represents 16.2% of the loan portfolio, excluding PPP loans. For more information on these loans, including a breakdown of such loans by type, please see the "Loan Portfolio Overview" table within this document.

CECL
The Corporation adopted Accounting Standard Update No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“CECL”) effective January 1, 2020. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Corporation recorded CECL related charges of $23.7 million of which $19.9 million (after-tax charge of $15.7 million), or $0.54 diluted earnings per share, which was attributable to changes in economic assumptions within the Corporation’s CECL model, which were predominately driven by COVID-19. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Corporation recorded CECL related charges of $45.6 million, of which $40.2 million (after-tax charge of $31.8 million), or $1.09 diluted earnings per share, was attributable to economic assumptions within the CECL model.

Paycheck Protection Program
As a Small Business Administration (SBA) approved lender, the Corporation was well positioned to participate in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which was enacted as a component of the CARES Act that was signed into law on March 27, 2020. Through this program, we successfully originated approximately 2,550 loans and secured funding of approximately $510 million for our customers. During the quarter we recorded income of $2.0 million within net interest income related to these loans. Additionally, during the quarter we recorded incremental capitalized compensation of $1.3 million related to origination of PPP loans. As of June 30, 2020, we have $11.0 million of net deferred fees on our balance sheet related to these loans.



Loans
Gross loans and leases, excluding PPP loans of $499.0 million, increased $4.0 million, or 0.4% (annualized), from March 31, 2020, despite a $94.5 million decrease in commercial line utilization. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, gross loans and leases, excluding PPP loans, increased $66.0 million, or 3.0% (annualized), despite a $89.5 million decrease in commercial line utilization. As of June 30, 2020 commercial line utilization was 29.8%. Since June 30, 2019, gross loans and leases, excluding PPP loans, have increased $284.9 million, or 6.8%.
Deposits
Total deposits increased $462.0 million, or 41.9% (annualized), from March 31, 2020 and $509.3 million, or 23.4% (annualized), from December 31, 2019 primarily due to increases in commercial and consumer deposits partially offset by a seasonal decrease in public funds deposits. Total deposits increased $747.2 million, or 18.1%, from June 30, 2019 primarily due to increases in commercial and consumer deposits partially offset by a decrease in public funds deposits. Deposits at June 30, 2020 were inherently elevated by the PPP loans originated during the quarter to the extent the funds were not utilized.

Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income of $43.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $1.1 million, or 2.5%, from the three months ended March 31, 2020, and $883 thousand, or 2.1%, from the three months ended June 30, 2019. Net interest income of $86.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $1.8 million, or 2.2%, from the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 was primarily due to lower deposit and borrowing costs and growth in loans partially offset by a decrease in yield on loans.

Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.18% for the second quarter of 2020, compared to 3.48% for the first quarter of 2020 and 3.67% for the second quarter of 2019. Purchase accounting accretion had no impact on the quarter ended June 30, 2020 or March 31, 2020 compared to a favorable impact of one basis point for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Excess liquidity reduced net interest margin by approximately sixteen basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to six basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and five basis points impact for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. This excess liquidity was primarily driven by strong deposit balance growth over the last year. PPP loans reduced net interest margin by nine basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Excluding purchase accounting accretion, the impact of excess liquidity, and the impact of PPP loans, the net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.43% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, 3.54% for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and 3.71% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.




Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $18.0 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 10.1%, from the second quarter of 2019. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $36.4 million, an increase of $3.7 million, or 11.4%, from the comparable period in the prior year.

Net gain on mortgage banking activities increased $2.7 million, or 341.6%, for the quarter and $5.0 million, or 389.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the comparable periods in the prior year, due to an increase in mortgage volume and expansion of margins. Net gain on sales of investment securities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 increased $752 thousand compared to the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to a $652 thousand gain on the sale of $58.3 million of agency backed mortgage backed securities in the first quarter of 2020.

Other income increased $1.1 million, or 146.1%, for the quarter and $784 thousand, or 73.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. Fees on risk participation agreements for interest rate swaps increased $1.3 million for the quarter and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the comparable period in the prior year, driven by increased customer activity based on the current rate environment. Gain on sale of small business administration (SBA) loans decreased $239 thousand for the quarter and $294 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the comparable period in the prior year due to decreased SBA loan sale activity. Equity securities measured at fair value decreased $40 thousand for the quarter and $312 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Other service fee income decreased $1.1 million, or 42.5%, for the quarter and $1.5 million, or 30.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. Mortgage servicing rights amortization increased $484 thousand for the quarter and $814 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the comparable period in the prior year driven by the decline in interest rates and their impact on prepayment activity. Additionally, a valuation allowance adjustment of $283 thousand for the quarter and $338 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was recorded against mortgage servicing right assets due to a decline in fair value. Interchange income decreased $226 thousand for the quarter and $256 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the comparable period in the prior year due to decreased customer activity.

Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $557 thousand, or 38.5%, for the quarter and $595 thousand, or 20.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to the waiving of certain deposit service charges for customers in response to COVID-19. Investment advisory commission and fee income decreased $515 thousand, or 12.7%, for the quarter compared to the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to a decline in the value of



assets under management due to overall declines in the market, as a majority of investment advisory fees are billed based on the prior quarter-end assets under management balance.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was $36.0 million, a decrease of $821 thousand, or 2.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2019. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $74.7 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 3.3% from the comparable period in the prior year.

Salaries, benefits and commissions decreased $352 thousand, or 1.6%, for the quarter and increased $1.9 million, or 4.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to additional staff hired, primarily during 2019, to support revenue generation across all business lines, expansion of our commercial lending groups in the first and second quarter of 2019, annual merit increases and increased variable compensation due to strong mortgage banking activity. The decrease for the quarter was the result of $1.3 million in compensation capitalized due to PPP loan originations which offset the previously discussed increases. Other expense increased $718 thousand, or 6.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to a one-time $656 thousand charge related to the extinguishment of long-term debt in the first quarter of 2020. Marketing and advertising expense decreased $251 thousand, or 31.9%, for the quarter and decreased $389 thousand, or 29.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to a decrease in advertising activities during the COVID-19 related stay at home orders.

Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses
Nonperforming assets were $36.0 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $39.3 million at December 31, 2019 and $27.1 million at June 30, 2019. The increase in nonperforming assets at June 30, 2020 compared to June 30, 2019 was primarily due to one commercial banking relationship, totaling $11.6 million as of June 30, 2020, which was placed on non-accrual status during 2019.

Net loan and lease charge-offs were $3.6 million during the second quarter of 2020 and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The provision for credit losses was $23.7 million for the second quarter of 2020, of which $21.5 million related to loans and leases and $2.2 million related to unfunded commitments, and $45.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, of which $42.0 million related to loans and leases, $3.0 million related to unfunded commitments, and $556 thousand related to investment securities. The second quarter of 2020 included a charge-off of $2.7 million and provision for credit losses of $1.3 million related to one commercial real estate loan, which was transferred to other real estate owned. As of June 30, 2020, the property was carried at $8.1 million, in other real estate



owned, based on a letter of intent to sell the property. This loan was initially placed on nonaccrual during the first quarter of 2018.

Net loan and lease charge-offs were $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2019 and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The provision for credit losses on loans and leases was $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2019 and $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment, excluding PPP loans, was 1.94%2 at June 30, 2020, compared to 0.81% at December 31, 2019 and 0.78% at June 30, 2019.

Tax Provision
The effective income tax rate was (14.5)% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, compared to an effective income tax rate of 18.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The effective income tax rate was (42.4%) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to an effective income tax rate of 18.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The negative effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020 reflects the benefits of tax-exempt income from investments in municipal securities and loans and leases.

Dividend
On May 18, 2020, Univest declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share, payable on July 1, 2020. This represented a 5.23% annualized yield based on the closing price of Univest’s stock on the date the dividend was paid.

This press release of Univest and the reports Univest files with the Securities and Exchange Commission often contain "forward-looking statements" relating to present or future trends or factors affecting the financial services industry and, specifically, the financial operations, markets and products of Univest. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. There are a number of important factors that could cause Univest's future results to differ materially from historical performance or projected performance. These factors include, but are not limited to: (1) competitive pressures among financial institutions; (2) changes in the interest rate environment; (3) changes in asset quality, prepayment speeds, loan sale volumes, charge-offs and loan loss provisions; (4) general economic conditions; (5) legislative or regulatory changes that may adversely affect the businesses in which Univest is engaged; (6) technological issues that may adversely affect Univest financial operations or customers; (7) changes in the securities markets or (8) risk factors mentioned in the reports and registration statements Univest files with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be reopened. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: (1) demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; (2) if the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; (3) collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase; (4) our allowance for loan losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect our net income; (5) the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; (6) as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income; (6) a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend; (7) our wealth management revenues may decline with continuing market turmoil; (8) litigation, regulatory enforcement risk and reputation risk regarding our participation in the Paycheck Protection Program and the risk that the Small Business Administration may not fund some or all PPP loan guarantees; (9) our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely; (10) we rely on third party vendors for certain services and the unavailability of a critical service due to the COVID-19 outbreak could have an adverse effect on us; (11); and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums may increase if the agency experience additional resolution costs. Univest undertakes no obligation to revise these forward-looking statements or to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation
Management uses non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Corporation's performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures nor should they be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the impact of the specified items, provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results of the Corporation. See the table below for additional information on non-GAAP measures used throughout this earnings release.
