THIRD QUARTER PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTED BY

STRONG ORGANIC GROWTH

GLASTONBURY, Conn., October 22, 2014 – United Financial Bancorp, Inc. (“United Financial” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ Global Select Stock Market: “UBNK”), the holding company for United Bank (the “Bank”), today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. These results represent the first full fiscal quarter as the combined United Financial [merger of legacy Rockville Financial, Inc. (“Rockville”) and legacy United Financial Bancorp, Inc. (“legacy United”)]. Rockville was the legal acquirer in the merger of equals with legacy United, in a transaction that closed on April 30, 2014, and Rockville changed its name to United Financial Bancorp, Inc. at that time.

The Company had net income of $10.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to Rockville’s net income of $4.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Operating net income for the third quarter of 2014 was $10.5 million (Non-GAAP), or $0.20 per diluted share, adjusted for $4.5 million (pre-tax) of expenses related to the merger, $3.8 million (pre-tax) net positive impact of the amortization and accretion of the purchase accounting adjustments (or fair value adjustments) as a result of the merger, and $430,000 (pre-tax) net gains on sales of securities.

Operating net income for the quarter ending June 30, 2014 was $5.8 million (Non-GAAP), or $0.13 per diluted share, adjusted for $21.3 million (pre-tax) of expenses related to the merger, $4.9 million (pre-tax) net impact of the amortization and accretion of the purchase accounting adjustments (or fair value adjustments) as a result of the merger, and $589,000 (pre-tax) net gains on sales of securities.

Operating net income for the third quarter of 2013 was $4.6 million (Non-GAAP), or $0.18 per diluted share, adjusted for income of $29,000 (pre-tax) from net gains on sales of securities.

“I am pleased to announce that during United Financial Bancorp, Inc.’s first full quarter as a merged entity, the Company reported strong organic earning asset growth, highlighted by 10% annualized commercial loan growth and record residential mortgage loan production, while maintaining superior asset quality,” stated William H. W. Crawford, IV, Chief Executive Officer of United Financial Bancorp, Inc. and United Bank. “While this is a difficult operating environment for banks, the Company will continue its strategy of organic growth and commitment to enhancement of long term shareholder value through operational and capital efficiency.”

Earnings in both 2014 and 2013 were affected by non-operating income and expense. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures may be found on pages F-8 and F-9.

GAAP Results

The Company reported net income of $10.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2014, representing the first full quarter of combined operating results from both legacy organizations. Merger and acquisition expenses totaling $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2014 were comprised of payments to former employees due to position eliminations, payments to consultants and advisors in order to execute the transaction and to assist in the data processing conversion, as well as other integration related expenses.

Interest income totaled $47.2 million in the third quarter of 2014, an increase of $6.4 million, or 16%, from the linked quarter due to both organic earning asset growth and the reporting of the first full fiscal quarter of combined entity results following the merger. Earning assets increased by $148 million, or 3%, organically during the quarter, while average interest-earning assets increased by $926 million, or 24%, from the linked quarter driven by the inclusion of purchased assets for the full quarter versus the two months in the linked period due to the April 30, 2014 merger date. Interest income results include the recognition of purchase accounting adjustments made during the third quarter of 2014, for which more details are provided subsequently in this release. Interest expense of $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2014 increased by $1.1 million from $3.9 million in the linked quarter. Average interest bearing liabilities increased by $783 million, or 25%, from the linked quarter.

GAAP tax equivalent net interest margin for the third quarter of 2014 compressed by 30 basis points to 3.56% compared to 3.86% for the linked quarter, primarily as a result of the diminished impact of purchase accounting adjustments. The net benefit to interest income in the third quarter of 2014 from accretion of purchase accounting adjustments totaled $1.7 million, a 49% decrease from $3.4 million recognized in the second quarter of 2014. The decline between the two quarters reflects the impact of commercial real estate credit actions and payoffs on purchase accounting marks in the second quarter of 2014, which were not duplicated in the third quarter. Interest expense benefited from net accretion of discounts totaling $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2014, a 34% increase from $1.6 million recognized in the linked quarter. The interest expense benefit increase was due to a higher level of maturities related to term funding in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the linked quarter. The second and third quarter 2014 and remaining estimated discount/premium net accretion impact are reflected in the following table (dollars in thousands):

On a GAAP basis, the yield on interest-earning assets declined by 29 basis points in the third quarter of 2014 to 3.97%, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 1 basis point during the quarter to 0.51%. Operating net interest margin, which excludes the impact of purchase accounting adjustments, decreased by 11 basis points to 3.23% in the third quarter of 2014 from 3.34% in the linked quarter due in large part from the reduction of loan prepayment income recognized in the second quarter of 2014 that was not duplicated in the third quarter.

Total non-interest income declined by $2.2 million to $4.1 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2014 from $6.3 million recognized in the linked quarter. Significantly impacting the quarter was the recognition of a $2.2 million loss related to limited partnership investments. While the Company considers the investment in the limited partnership as operating income, when excluded, non-interest income would have been flat from the linked quarter period. During the third quarter, the Company completed a tax credit investment in which expense was recognized relating to the amortization of the underlying asset, while concurrently realizing an offsetting benefit of $2.6 million reflected in the tax provision for the quarter. Management expects a similar effect on both limited partnership expense and the tax provision in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Additionally impacting non-interest income during the third quarter of 2014 was the $617,000 reduction in the gain on sale of loans derived from the mortgage banking business compared to the linked quarter. While the Company produced record residential mortgage origination volume and increased loan sales in the period, gains on sales of loans reflect the recognition of income at the time that secondary market contracts are executed rather than at the time those loans are delivered to the investor. Both the originations of derivative contracts during the quarter and the level of loans held for sale at September 30, 2014 fell from the linked period, which reduced the level of gains recognized in the reporting period.

Non-interest expense for the quarter ending September 30, 2014 totaled $34.9 million and decreased by $11.3 million, or 24%, from the quarter ending June 30, 2014. The linked quarter decrease in non-interest expense is primarily driven by the $16.9 million decline in expenses directly related to the merger, which were partially offset by increases in salaries and benefits expense, service bureau fees and occupancy and equipment expense. Each of these increases is a result of the merger and reflects the impact of a full quarter of expense for these items on the combined entity results.

Operating Results

Operating net income increased by $4.7 million to $10.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2014 from $5.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the linked quarter. These quarterly results reflect the first full quarter of combined operating results from both legacy organizations excluding merger and acquisition expenses, amortization and accretion of the purchase accounting adjustments as a result of the merger, and net gains on sales of securities. The Company reported operating return on average assets (“ROA”) of 0.80% and operating return on tangible common equity (“ROTCE”) of 7.93% for the third quarter of 2014, increased from 0.56% and 4.46% in the linked quarter, respectively.

The Company’s total operating revenue increased by $4.4 million, or 12%, in comparison to the linked quarter reflective of the first full quarter of combined operating results following the merger. Operating net interest income increased by $6.4 million, or 20%, in the third quarter of 2014 to $38.4 million from $31.9 million in the linked quarter, primarily reflective of the increase in operating loan interest and fee income of $6.4 million, or 20%. Investment income of $7.1 million increased by $1.7 million, or 31%, over the linked quarter primarily driven by the increase in the portfolio size of the merged companies as well as the post-merger growth in the investment portfolio during the second and third quarter of 2014. Operating non-interest income in comparison to the linked quarter decreased by $2.1 million, or 36%, to $3.6 million due to a $2.2 million loss related to limited partnership investments, as described earlier in this release.

The provision for loan losses increased by $553,000 to $2.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. On a linked quarter basis, the provision for loan losses increased largely as a result of growth in our covered loan portfolio and to a lesser extent continued expansion of the loan portfolio. As the purchased loan portfolio matures or renews, the Company’s covered portfolio will grow, necessitating a provision on purchased assets that previously had no provision. Management estimates the purchased loan portfolio average life at five years, which will drive elevated provision expense over that period of time. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2014 were $1.7 million, or 0.18% annualized as a percentage of average loans outstanding, and increased by $1.4 million from $237,000, or 0.03% annualized as a percentage of average loans outstanding, in the linked quarter. Net charge-offs for the year-to-date 2014 were 0.10% as a percentage of average loans outstanding. Factors considered in the provision for loan losses include the composition of the portfolio, the level of non-performing loans and charge-offs, local economic and credit conditions, the direction of real estate values and delinquency trends.

On a linked quarter basis, operating expense increased by $5.5 million, or 22%, to $30.4 million in the third quarter of 2014, primarily as a result of the quarter being the first period with full consolidated operations versus the second quarter with only two months of consolidated operations. Salaries and benefits expense increased by $3.3 million, or 22%, to $17.8 million in the third quarter of 2014. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $668,000, or 26%, to $3.3 million in the third quarter of 2014. Service bureau fees reflect expenses associated with operating two core data processing systems from the legacy banks, which had the effect of elevated expense during the third quarter. The Company expects the level of service bureau fees will decline in the fourth quarter of 2014, reflecting the completion of the conversion to one core data processor during that time. Other expenses totaled $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2014, representing a decline of $120,000, or 3%, which excludes the expenses associated with amortization of the Company’s core deposit intangible.

The provision for income taxes improved to a $1.3 million benefit to income during the quarter ending September 30, 2014 from the $512,000 expense in the linked quarter. The income tax benefit for the quarter was driven by the aforementioned tax credit investment the Company made in the quarter. The effective tax rate for the quarter was (14.6%); had the Company not made the investment the effective tax rate would have been 3.3%. The Company expects a more favorable effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2014, due to continued benefits realized from the tax credit investment made during the third quarter.

Business Line Discussions

Commercial Banking

Total commercial loans grew organically during the third quarter of 2014 by $60 million, or 10% annualized. For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, commercial loan growth was comprised of a commercial real estate portfolio increase of $24 million, or 1%; a commercial business portfolio increase of $21 million, or 4%; and an increase in the commercial construction portfolio of $15 million, or 14%. Average commercial loans grew by $428 million in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the linked quarter as a result of a full quarter of the combined organization loan balances and loan originations. The Company continues to utilize a Risk Adjusted Return on Capital (“RAROC”) model to ensure growth is providing satisfactory returns. While the commercial loan market is reflecting increased competition in both pricing and structure, the Company continues to balance growth with excellent asset quality and value creating returns. Credit quality within the commercial loan portfolio remains excellent.

In addition to the merger, the growth in commercial banking relationships as well as the increase in municipal deposits is a result of sales efforts by the business development and cash management teams. Municipal deposits totaled $270 million at September 30, 2014, an increase of $58 million, or 27%, from the prior quarter-end, in part due to seasonality of property tax receipts.

Noteworthy with regard to the Company’s commercial banking strategy is its expansion into the Fairfield County, Connecticut commercial lending market during the third quarter by hiring four highly-regarded commercial bankers with strong community ties to that market. The team joined the Company in August and is led by Maureen Hanley-Bellitto, Senior Vice President and Commercial Team Leader, a seasoned Commercial & Industrial (C&I) and Commercial Real Estate (CRE) lender who has dedicated the majority of her professional career to Fairfield County. We look forward to the opportunities that Maureen and her team of commercial bankers will bring to the Company.

Mortgage Banking

The Company reported record quarterly origination volume for residential mortgage loans in the third quarter of 2014. During the third quarter, mortgage originations increased by $46 million to $116 million from $70 million in the same period of the prior year. On a linked quarter basis, residential mortgage originations increased by $34 million, or 40%, from $82 million in the second quarter. Purchase mortgage activity increased during this time period to $81 million, or 70%, of

 

UBNK – United Financial Bancorp, Inc.   Page 6   www.unitedfinancialinc.com


production in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $40 million, or 57%, in the prior year period. Purchase mortgage production increased by $16 million over the linked quarter. On-balance sheet, residential mortgage loans grew by $36 million (11% annualized) during the third quarter of 2014 compared to the linked quarter.

The number of commission-based mortgage loan officers was unchanged from the prior quarter-end at 34 officers as of September 30, 2014. Therefore, the significant enhancement in production volume was due to the ability to fully capitalize on prior quarters’ talent acquisitions for the entire quarter rather than an increase in sales staff during the third quarter of 2014. During the past few quarters, the Company has announced the hiring of high-performing mortgage bankers in West Springfield, Massachusetts; near Boston, Massachusetts and in Fairfield County, Connecticut. The strategy for loan officer expansion continues to be driven by finding talent that will achieve a high level of service that our customers expect, as well as to drive value through established relationships with purchase mortgage activity. Consequently, our geographic expansion is more about the talent acquisition than their corresponding location.

Funding & Deposits

Deposits totaled $4.03 billion at September 30, 2014 and increased by $89 million from $3.94 billion at June 30, 2014, reflecting a $10 million, or 2%, increase in non-interest bearing deposits and a $79 million, or 2%, increase in interest bearing deposits. The cost of total interest bearing deposits increased by 2 basis points to 0.48% in the quarter ending September 30, 2014 from 0.46% in the linked quarter, driven primarily by the full quarter inclusion of the purchased legacy United deposit portfolio.

On October 10, 2014, the Company closed or consolidated four retail branch locations due to the merger, which was previously announced. The Company expects minimal disintermediation of deposits from these actions due to the close proximity of existing branches.

During the quarter, United Financial issued $75 million of ten-year term subordinated debt with a coupon rate of 5.75%. The impact of the issuance on the cost of interest-bearing funding in the third quarter results was de minimis.

Investment Portfolio

The available for sale securities portfolio increased $61 million to $1.01 billion, representing 19% of total assets at September 30, 2014, from $952 million and 18% of total assets at June 30, 2014. This increase is largely reflective of repositioning within the CLO bond portfolio from non-Volcker compliant securities to Volcker compliant securities, a reduction of geographic exposures within the municipal bond portfolio and repositioning within the corporate bond portfolio for which spread tightening had occurred on existing holdings. These bond purchases represent an opportunity to shorten the investment portfolio duration and add diversification to the portfolio holdings. The Company will likely maintain the September 30, 2014 allocation level of investment securities as a percentage of total assets throughout 2014.

Asset Quality

The Company maintains a disciplined approach to asset quality and will not match extremely favorable pricing or underwriting and structure pressures of competitor banks if those considerations do not meet the Company’s asset quality and return standards. The asset quality metrics as of September 30, 2014 reflect the combined loan portfolios following the merger, as well as the purchase accounting marks at legal close. Non-performing assets increased $9.6 million to $31.9 million at September 30, 2014 from $22.3 million at June 30, 2014. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets increased 17 basis points to 0.60% at September 30, 2014 from 0.43% at June 30, 2014. Non-performing loans increased $10.2 million to $29.3 million at September 30, 2014 from $19.1 million at June 30, 2014. Included in non-performing loans are non-accruing troubled debt restructurings (TDR). Non-accruing TDRs increased $800,000 to $5.2 million at September 30, 2014 from $4.4 million at June 30, 2014. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans increased 25 basis points to 0.77% at September 30, 2014 from 0.52% at June 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans and of total loans outstanding was 76.15% and 0.59%, respectively, compared to 111.67% and 0.58% at June 30, 2014, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total covered loans outstanding was 1.06% at September 30, 2014, compared to 1.14% at June 30, 2014.

Dividend

The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of $0.10 per share to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 27, 2014 and payable on November 3, 2014. This dividend equates to a 3.16% annualized yield based on the $12.66 average closing price of the Company’s common stock in the third quarter of 2014. The Company has paid dividends for 34 consecutive quarters.

Tangible Book Value

Tangible book value per share increased to $10.02 at September 30, 2014 from $9.99 at June 30, 2014, primarily due to the impact of the after-tax GAAP net income of $10.0 million, which includes the after-tax impact of one-time merger costs as well as the cash dividend payment to shareholders totaling $0.10 per share, capital adjustments related to the merger and the after-tax impact on book value of one-time merger related expenses.

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company obtained approval and initiated a second buyback plan on May 20, 2013. Under this plan, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to 2,730,026 shares, or 10% of the outstanding shares at the time the plan was approved. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had repurchased 1,461,786 shares under this plan at an average cost of $13.02 per share, and has authorization to purchase an additional 1,268,240 shares.

(1) Non-GAAP Ratios are not financial measurements required by generally accepted accounting principles; however, management believes such information is useful to investors in evaluating Company performance.

 

(2) The efficiency ratio represents the ratio of non-interest expenses to the sum of net interest income before provision for loan losses and non-interest income, exclusive of net gain (loss) on limited partnership investments.

 

(3) The annualized growth rate for revenue and earning assets based on second quarter 2014 results is not meaningful due to the acquisition of United Financial Bancorp, Inc. on April 30, 2014.
