Achieved Net Income of $92.5 million and Diluted Earnings Per Share of $0.68 Generated Return on Average Assets of 1.26%, Return on Average Equity of 7.96%, and Return on Average Tangible Equity* of 13.47% Ranked #1 most trustworthy bank in Newsweek’s list of “Most Trustworthy Companies in America 2023” Quarterly dividend of $0.36 per share equates to a yield of ~4.5% (based upon recent prices) Asset quality remains sound and Non-Performing Assets remained low at 0.15% of Total Assets Strong expense control with an efficiency ratio of 51.51% Capital position remains robust and liquidity remains sound 2Q23 HIGHLIGHTS *Non-GAAP measure.

Slide 4

Linked-Quarter (LQ) Net Income was $92.5 million in 2Q23 compared to $98.3 million in 1Q23, with diluted EPS of $0.68 in 2Q23 compared to $0.73 in 1Q23. Net Interest Income decreased $6.9 million primarily due to higher interest expense driven by deposit rate repricing partially offset by higher interest income on net loans and loans held for sale driven by rising market interest rates. Provision Expense was $11.4 million in 2Q23 compared to $6.9 million in 1Q23. The provision expense for 2Q23 was primarily driven by a change in qualitative factors and the impact of reasonable and supportable forecasts of future macroeconomic conditions. Noninterest Income increased $2.4 million primarily due to increases in mortgage loan servicing income of $7.6 million mainly driven by the gain on sale of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and income from mortgage banking activities of $1.5 million driven by higher mortgage loan origination and sale volume and a higher margin on loans sold. These increases in noninterest income were partially offset by higher net losses on investment securities of $6.9 million mainly driven by the loss on sale of AFS investment securities. Noninterest Expense decreased $2.1 million primarily driven by a decline in the expense for the reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $4.6 million partially offset by an increase in employee compensation of $3.1 million.

Select guidance is being provided for 2023. Our outlook may change if the expectations for these items vary from current expectations. Balance Sheet: Expect loan growth, excluding loans held for sale, to be in the low to mid single digits for the remainder of 2023 (annualized). Expect investment portfolio balances to decrease ~$290 million for the remainder of 2023. Expect deposit growth in the low single digits for the remainder of 2023 (annualized). Net Interest Income / Net Interest Margin: Net interest income (non-FTE) expected to be in the range of $900 million to $915 million for 2023 (assumes no additional fed funds rate changes after July). Expect the net interest margin pressure to continue to moderate. Expect full-cycle total deposit beta of ~38% to 40%. Provision Expense: Asset quality remains sound. Provision expense will be dependent on the future economic outlook, future credit trends within United’s portfolio, and loan growth. Expect near term net charge-offs to remain low. Current planning assumption for provision expense is $30 million for FY 2023. Non Interest Income: Expect non interest income to be in the range of $125 million to $130 million for 2023. Mortgage banking revenue will be subject to industry trends. Non Interest Expense: Expect non interest expense to be in the range of $545 million to $550 million. Effective Tax Rate: Estimated at approximately ~20.2%. Capital: Stock buyback will be market dependent. United’s capital position remains robust. 2023 OUTLOOK
