Union Bankshares delivered a positive second quarter, with revenue of $14.534 million, diluted EPS of $0.60, net income growth of 22.1%, and a 10.8% increase in tax-equivalent net interest income. Margin expansion and higher noninterest income more than offset 9.3% growth in noninterest expense, while credit costs remained low. However, deposits declined 10.0% from year-end and borrowings increased, leaving liquidity and funding mix as the principal near-term concerns. No material changes to the formal risk factors were reported.

No formal risk-factor changes

-
Loan funding gap widened
The loan-to-deposit ratio was 102.54% at June 30, 2026, compared with 100.76% at June 30, 2025, indicating loans exceeded deposits and increasing sensitivity to funding availability and cost.
Management's outlook
No explicit quantitative revenue or EPS guidance was provided. Management stated it had sufficient liquidity to meet reasonable borrower, depositor and creditor needs, but noted that future cash-flow projections are subject to substantial uncertainty.
