FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UNIVEST FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
(24.7% increase in earnings per share compared to 2025 first quarter)
(4.5% increase in dividend)

SOUDERTON, Pa., April 22, 2026 - Univest Financial Corporation (“Univest” or the "Corporation") (NASDAQ: UVSP), parent company of Univest Bank and Trust Co. (the "Bank") and its insurance, investments and equipment financing subsidiaries, announced net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 of $27.1 million, or $0.96 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $22.4 million, or $0.77 diluted earnings per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Dividend
On April 22, 2026, Univest declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share to be paid on May 20, 2026 to shareholders of record as of May 6, 2026, which represents an increase of $0.01 per share, or 4.5%. Univest had last increased its dividend by $0.01 per share in May 2025.

One-Time Items
The financial results for the quarter included tax-free bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") death benefit proceeds of $372 thousand, which represented $0.01 diluted earnings per share. In addition, the financial results for the quarter included a $427 thousand restructuring charge ($337 thousand after-tax), or $0.01 diluted earnings per share, related to the planned closure of two underutilized facilities: a financial center and a limited purpose banking office.

Loans
Gross loans and leases increased $25.4 million, or 0.4% (1.6% annualized), from December 31, 2025, primarily due to increases in commercial and commercial real estate loans, partially offset by decreases



in construction and residential mortgage loans. Gross loans and leases increased $107.2 million, or 1.6%, from March 31, 2025, driven primarily by growth in construction, commercial, commercial real estate, and home equity loans. This growth was partially offset by a decline in residential mortgage loans, which is consistent with our strategy to focus balance sheet growth on full-relationship customers which will improve our loan-to-deposit ratio.

Deposits and Liquidity
Total deposits decreased $273.6 million, or 3.9% (15.6% annualized), from December 31, 2025 due to decreases in commercial, consumer, brokered deposits, and public funds, primarily reflecting seasonal public funds runoff during the quarter. Total deposits increased $155.3 million, or 2.3%, from March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in commercial deposits, partially offset by decreases in consumer, brokered and public funds deposits.

Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $1.5 billion and represented 21.7% of total deposits at March 31, 2026, compared to $1.4 billion representing 20.2% of total deposits at December 31, 2025. Unprotected deposits, which excludes insured, internal, and collateralized deposit accounts, totaled $1.6 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. This represented 23.7% of total deposits at March 31, 2026, compared to 23.2% at December 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, the Corporation and its subsidiaries held cash and cash equivalents totaling $222.4 million. The Corporation and its subsidiaries had committed borrowing capacity of $3.7 billion, of which $2.4 billion was available. The Corporation and its subsidiaries also maintained uncommitted funding sources from correspondent banks of $472.0 million at March 31, 2026. Future availability under these uncommitted funding sources is subject to the prerogatives of the granting banks and may be withdrawn at will.

Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income of $63.4 million for the first quarter of 2026 increased $6.6 million, or 11.6%, from the first quarter of 2025 and $816 thousand, or 1.3%, from the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase in net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 was driven by higher average balances of loans and cash and cash equivalents, as well as a reduction in our cost of funds offset by higher average balances of interest‑bearing liabilities. The increase in net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by the lower average balances and reduced costs of interest‑bearing liabilities, partially offset by lower average balances and reduced yields on interest-earning deposits with other banks.




Net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.33% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 3.10% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 3.09% for the first quarter of 2025. Excess liquidity reduced net interest margin by approximately 11 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to approximately 27 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 and approximately three basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Excluding the impact of excess liquidity, the net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, would have been 3.44% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to 3.37% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 3.12% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $24.1 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 7.5%, from the comparable period in the prior year.

Other income increased $587 thousand, or 239.6%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. Fees on risk participation agreements for interest rate swaps increased $219 thousand due to increased demand. Additionally, income on other real estate owned for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included a one-time expense of $254 thousand related to building repairs.

Investment advisory commission and fee income increased $541 thousand, or 9.6%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to the comparable period in the prior year, driven by appreciation in assets under management and new customer relationships.

Insurance commission and fee income increased $534 thousand, or 7.8%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase of $342 thousand in premiums on commercial lines. Additionally, contingent income increased $194 thousand for the quarter, from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Contingent income is largely recognized in the first quarter of the year.

Other service fee income increased $334 thousand, or 12.3%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. This was driven by a $284 thousand decrease in the valuation allowance on servicing rights in the first quarter of 2026 compared to a $19 thousand increase in the first quarter of 2025.

Net gain on mortgage banking activities increased $144 thousand, or 22.3%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to increased salable volume.




BOLI income decreased $627 thousand, or 32.0%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. The financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included $372 thousand in BOLI death benefit proceeds compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $52.7 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 6.8%, from the comparable period in the prior year.

Salaries, benefits and commissions increased $2.6 million, or 8.5%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to the comparable period in the prior year, primarily driven by higher salary expense of $1.3 million. Additionally, medical claims expense increased by $753 thousand, or 48.8%. The Corporation maintains a self-insured medical plan and is responsible for claim costs up to the stop loss limit. This results in expense volatility based on the timing and magnitude of claims.

Restructuring charges increased $427 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to the comparable period in the prior year as previously discussed.

Marketing and advertising expense increased $281 thousand, or 79.6%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to the comparable period in the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by the inclusion of certain sponsorship activities that were historically reported in Other Expense and the Corporation's entry into a sponsorship agreement with a local university, enhancing community engagement and visibility.

Professional fees decreased $120 thousand, or 6.7%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to reduced consultant fees.

Tax Provision
The effective income tax rate was 19.1% and 18.7% for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The discrete tax effect of vested equity compensation awards favorably impacted the first quarters of 2026 and 2025 by 132 and 71 basis points, respectively. Additionally, the effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were favorably impacted by 21 and 73 basis points, respectively, from the proceeds of BOLI death benefit proceeds. Excluding the discrete impact of vested equity compensation awards and BOLI death benefit proceeds, the effective tax rate was 20.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 20.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.




Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses
Nonperforming assets totaled $41.2 million at March 31, 2026, $37.8 million at December 31, 2025, and $34.0 million at March 31, 2025. During the first quarter, a $3.9 million commercial real estate loan and a $1.0 million residential real estate loan secured for business purpose were placed on nonaccrual status. Subsequent to their nonaccrual designation, these loans incurred charge-offs totaling $652 thousand and were transferred to held-for-sale status.

Net loan and lease charge-offs were $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1.1 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

The provision for credit losses was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $3.1 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases as a percentage of loans and leases held for investment was 1.28% at March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025.
