U & I Financial Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

LYNNWOOD, WA / ACCESSWIRE / July 21, 2022 / U & I Financial Corp. (OTCQX:UNIF), the holding company for UniBank, today reported record quarterly earnings of $2.6 million or $0.48 per share in the second quarter, as compared to $2.2 million or $0.41 per share for the same quarter of 2021, increasing by $394 thousand or $0.06 per share, primarily from generating higher net interest income.

As of June 30, 2022, total assets reached $522.9 million, increasing by $105.8 million or 25.4% from the year earlier period of $417.1 million. Net loans ended at $421.7 million, increasing by $147.2 million or 53.6% from the year earlier period of $274.5 million.

"We are pleased to announce that we have surpassed the $500 million milestone," said Peter Park, President and CEO. He added that, "we have generated high quality loans while diversifying out of our traditional Commercial Real Estate concentration by producing a significant volume of Commercial & Industrial and Residential loans. Due to the high inflationary environment and the risk of recession, it is uncertain whether we will continue to grow at this pace in the near term. However, in accordance with our new vision, we will strive to be America's premier business bank, providing customized financing solutions to customers across the United States, primarily using government guaranteed loan programs."
