Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. ASU2017-04 is effective for United on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, and management is currently evaluating the possible impact this standard may have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” ASU2017-01 changes the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluation when a set of transferred assets and activities is a business. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in ASC 606. ASU2017-01 is effective for United on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and management is currently evaluating the possible impact this standard may have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” ASU2016-15 amends ASC topic 230 to add and clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows as a result of diversity in practice and in certain circumstances, financial statement restatements.

ASU2016-15 is effective for United on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and management is currently evaluating the possible impact this standard may have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” ASU2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost and require entities to record allowances foravailable-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the carrying amount under the current other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) model. ASU2016-13 also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reportingperiod in which the guidance is effective. ASU2016-13 is effective for United on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, and management is currently evaluating the possible impact this standard may have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” United adopted ASU2016-09 on January 1, 2017 utilizing the modified retrospective method. ASU2016-09 changes certain aspects of accounting for share-based payments to employees. The new guidance, amongst other things, requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. The requirement to report those income tax effects in earnings was applied to settlements occurring on or after January 1, 2017 and the impact of applying that guidance reduced reporting income tax expense by $146 and $960 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. ASU2016-09 also allows an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than it could previously for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The Company will continue to estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjust the estimate when it is no longer probable that the employee will fulfill the service condition, as was previously required. ASU2016-09 also requires that all incometax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments be reported as operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Previously, income tax benefits at settlement of an award were reported as a reduction to operating cash flows and an increase to financing cash flows to the extent that those benefits exceeded the income tax benefits reported in earnings during the award’s vesting period. United elected to apply that change in cash flow classification on a retrospective basis, which resulted in an $2,083 increase to net cash from operating activities and a corresponding decrease to net cash from financing activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the first nine months of 2016. The recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies in the income statement was adopted prospectively.2023. The adoption of ASU2016-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.February 2016,March 2022, the FASB issued ASU2016-02, “Leases842)”815): Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method”.

ASU2016-022019 and management is currently evaluating the impact this standard may have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-01, “Financial Instruments Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU2016-01 makes changes to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities, the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value under the fair value option and disclosure of fair value of instruments. In addition, ASU2016-01 clarifies guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses onavailable-for-sale debt securities. ASU2016-01 is effective for United on January 1, 2018 and is2023. The adoption did not expected to have a significantmaterial impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.May 2014,October 2021, the FASB issued ASU2014-09, “RevenueContractscontracts with Customers (Topic 606)customers”.” ASU2014-09 supersedesrevenuelist of exceptions to the recognition requirementsand measurement principles that apply to business combinations and to require that an entity acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in ASC topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”,a business combination in accordance with Topic 606.

The Company intends to adopt the amendments of ASU2014-09 beginning January 1, 2018 through the modified-retrospective transition method with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. TheCompany’s revenue is comprised of net interest income and noninterest income. As the standard doesadoption did not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, net interest income and gains and losses from securities are not impacted by the standard. Thus far, we have identified revenue streams within the scope of the guidance and analyzed those revenue streams to determine the impact of the standard. We have reviewed and evaluated a number of revenue contracts to determine the impact the new recognition methods will have on revenue recognition. Based on this review, ASU2014-09 may require the Company to change how it recognizes certain recurring revenue streams related to noninterest income including fees from trust and brokerage services. Although we currently do not expect this standard to have a material impact on the timingCompany’s financial condition or amountresults of revenue, weoperations.stilleither directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR. In addition, the Company took steps to ensure that no new contracts using LIBOR were originated after December 31, 2021.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONSCardinal Financial CorporationOn April 21, 2017 (Cardinal Acquisition Date), United acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Cardinal Financial Corporation (Cardinal), headquartered in Tysons Corner, Virginia. The acquisition of Cardinal expands United’s existing footprint in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Statistical Area. At consummation, Cardinal had assets of $4,136,008, loans of $3,313,033 and deposits of $3,344,740. Cardinal also operated George Mason Mortgage, LLC (George Mason), a residential mortgage lending company based in Fairfax, Virginia with offices located in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina and the District of Columbia. As a result of the merger, George Mason became an indirectly-owned subsidiary of United.The merger was accountedtransition away from LIBOR for under the acquisition method of accounting. The results of operations of Cardinal are included in the consolidated results of operations from the Cardinal Acquisition Date.The aggregate purchase price was approximately $975,254, including common stock valued at $972,499, stock options assumed valued at $2,741, and cash paid for fractional shares of $14. The number of shares issued in the transaction was 23,690,589, which were valued based on the closing market price of $41.05 for United’s common shares on April 21, 2017. The preliminary purchase price has been allocated to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets resulting in preliminary additions to goodwill, core deposit intangibles and the George Mason trade name intangible of $622,513, $28,723 and $1,230, respectively. The core deposit intangibles are expected to be amortized over ten years. The George Mason trade name provides a source of market recognition to attract potential clients and retain existing relationships. United believes the George Mason trade name provides a competitive advantage and is likely going to be used into perpetuity and thus will not be subject to amortization, but rather be evaluated for impairment.Because the consideration paid was greater than the net fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, the Company recorded goodwill as part of the acquisition. None of the goodwill from the Cardinal acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. United used an independent third party to help determine the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired from Cardinal. As a result of the merger, United recorded preliminary fair value discounts of $144,434 on the loans acquired, $2,281 on leases and $8,738 on trust preferred issuances, respectively, and premiums of $4,408 on land acquired, $5,072 on interest-bearing deposits and $10,740 on long-term FHLB advances, respectively. The remaining discount and premium amounts are being accreted or amortized on an accelerated or straight-line basis over each asset’s or liability’s estimated remaining life at the time of acquisition except for loans and land. The discount on loans will be accreted into income based on the effective yield method. The premium on land will not be amortized. At September 30, 2017, the discounts on leases and trust preferred issuances had an average estimated remaining life of 6.00 years and 16.97 years, respectively, and the premiums on the interest-bearing deposits and the FHLB advances each had an average estimated remaining life of 5.00 years and 4.81 years, respectively. United assumed approximately $1,825 of liabilities to provide severance benefits to terminated employees of Cardinal, which has no remaining balance as of September 30, 2017. The estimated fair values of theacquired assets and assumed liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets are preliminary as of September 30, 2017 and are subject to refinement as additional information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. Any subsequent adjustments to the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities assumed, identifiable intangible assets, or other purchase accounting adjustments will result in adjustments to goodwill within the measurement period following the date of acquisition.In many cases, determining the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities required United to estimate cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest. The most significant of those determinations related to the fair valuation of acquired loans. The fair value of the acquired loans was based on the present value of the expected cash flows. Periodic principal and interest cash flows were adjusted for expected losses and prepayments, then discounted to determine the present value and summed to arrive at the estimated fair value. For such loans, the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition reflects the impact of estimated credit lossesits loan and other factors, such as prepayments. In accordance with GAAP, there was no carry-over of Cardinal’s previously established allowancefinancial instruments.loan losses.The acquired loans were divided into loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration, which are accounted for under ASC topic310-30 (acquired impaired) and loans that do not meet this criteria, which are accounted for under ASC topic310-20 (acquired performing). Acquired impaired loans have experienced a deterioration of credit quality from origination to acquisition for which it is probable that United will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable, including both principal and interest. Subsequent decreases in the expected cash flows require United to evaluate the need for additions to the Company’s allowance for credit losses. Subsequent improvements in expected cash flows generally result in the recognition of additional interest income over the then remaining lives of the loans.In conjunction with the Cardinal merger, the acquired loan portfolio was accounted for at fair value as follows: April 21, 2017 $ 4,211,734 (56,176 ) 4,155,558 (986,959 ) $ 3,168,599 Included in the above table is information related to acquired impaired loans. Specifically, contractually required principal and interest, cash flows expected to be collected and estimated fair value of acquired impaired loans were $132,837, $108,275, and $86,696, respectively.The consideration paid for Cardinal’s common equity and the preliminary amounts of acquired identifiable assets and liabilities assumed as of the Cardinal Acquisition Date were as follows: $ 972,499 2,741 14 975,254 44,545 395,829 271,301 3,168,599 24,208 28,723 1,230 135,383 $ 4,069,818 $ 3,349,812 96,215 220,119 2,281 48,650 3,717,077 352,741 $ 622,513 The operating results of United for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 include operating results of acquired assets and assumed liabilities subsequent to the Cardinal Acquisition Date. The operations of United’s metropolitan Washington D.C. geographic area, which primarily includes the acquired operations of Cardinal, provided $157,326 in total revenues, which represents net interest income plus other income, and $81,817 in net income from the period from the Cardinal Acquisition Date to September 30, 2017. These amounts are included in United’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Cardinal’s results of operations prior to the Cardinal Acquisition Date are not included in United’s consolidated financial statements.The following table presents certain unaudited pro forma information for the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, as if the Cardinal merger had occurred on January 1, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These results combine the historical results of Cardinal into United’s consolidated statement of income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair valuation adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on the indicated date nor are they intended to represent or be indicative of future results of operations. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the amount of Cardinal’s provision for credit losses for 2017 and 2016 that may not have been necessary had the acquired loans been recorded at fair value as of the beginning of 2017 and 2016. Additionally, United expects to achieve operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts. Proforma

With this transaction, United continues to expand its existing footprint in the D.C. Metro Region. The results of operations of Bank of Georgetown are included in the consolidated results of operations from the BOG Acquisition Date.At consummation, Bank of Georgetown had assets of $1,278,837, loans of $999,773, and deposits of $971,369. The transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair value on the BOG Acquisition Date.The aggregate purchase price was $264,505, including common stock valued at $253,799, stock options assumed valued at $10,696, and cash paid for fractional shares of $10. The number of shares issued in the transaction was 6,527,746, which were valued based on the closing market price of $38.88 for United’s common shares on June 3, 2016. The purchase price has been allocated to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets resulting in additions to goodwill and core deposit intangibles of $152,845 and $9,058, respectively. The core deposit intangibles are being amortized over ten years.Because the consideration paid was greater than the net fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities, the Company recorded goodwill as part of the acquisition. None of the goodwill from the Bank of Georgetown acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. United used an independent third party to help determine the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired from the Bank of Georgetown. As a result of the merger, United recorded fair value discounts of $43,072 on the loans acquired and $1,550 on leasehold improvements, respectively, and premiums on interest-bearing deposits acquired of $316 and a premium on long-term FHLB advances of $2,659. The remaining discount and premium amounts are being amortized or accreted on an accelerated basis over each asset’s or liability’s estimated remaining life at the time of acquisition. At September 30, 2017, the premium on the interest-bearing deposits and the FHLB advances had an estimated remaining life of 0.33 years and 7.92 years, respectively. United assumed approximately $300 of liabilities to provide severance benefits to terminated employees of Bank of Georgetown, which has no remaining balance as of September 30, 2017. The measurement period has closed and the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including identifiable intangible assets were considered final as of June 30, 2017.In many cases, determining the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities required United to estimate cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest. The most significant of those determinations related to the fair valuation of acquired loans. The fair value of the acquired loans was based on the present value of the expected cash flows. Periodic principal and interest cash flows were adjusted for expected losses and prepayments, then discounted to determine the present value and summed to arrive at the estimated fair value.

All of the unrated bondsnone were in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer as of September 30, 2017.Trust preferred collateralized debt obligations (Trup Cdos)In order to determine how and when the Company recognizes OTTI, the Company first assesses its intentions regarding any sale of securities as well as the likelihood that it would be required to sell prior to recovery of the amortized cost. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has determined that it does not intend to sell any pooled trust preferred security and that it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost.To determine a net realizable value and assess whether other-than-temporary impairment existed, management performed detailed cash flow analysis to determine whether, in management’s judgment, it was more likely that United would not recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. The Company discounts the security-specificcash flow projection at the security-specific interest rate and compares the present value to the amortized cost. Management’s cash flow analysis was performed for each security and considered the current deferrals and defaults within the underlying collateral, the likelihood that current deferrals would cure or ultimately default, potential future deferrals and defaults, potential prepayments, cash reserves, excess interest spread, credit analysis of the underlying collateral and the priority of payments in the cash flow structure. The underlying collateral analysis for each issuer took into consideration multiple factors including capital adequacy, earnings trends and asset quality. After completing its analysis of estimated cash flows, management determined that none of the Trup Cdos experienced an adverse change in cash flows during the third quarter of 2017, as the expected discounted cash flows from these particular securities were greater than or equal to the discounted cash flows originally expected at purchase or from the previous date of other-than-temporary impairment (cash flows are discounted at the contractual coupon rate for purposes of assessing OTTI).There was no credit-related other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings for the third quarter of 2017 related to these securities. The balance of noncredit-related other-than-temporary impairment recognized on United’s Trup Cdos portfolio was $20,770 at September 30, 2017.The following is a summary of the available for sale Trup Cdos as of September 30, 2017: Amortized Cost Amortized

The expected future cash flow substantiates the return of the remaining amortized cost of the security. The Company believes the following evidence supports the position that the remaining unrealized loss is related to the illiquid market for Trup Cdos:The market for new issuance of Trup Cdos was robust from 2000 to 2007 with an estimated $60 billion in new issuance. The new market issuances came to an abrupt halt in 2007.The secondary market for Trup Cdos ultimately became illiquid and although the market has improved, trading activity remains limited on these securities. In making this determination, the Company holds discussions with institutional traders to identify trends in the number and type of transactions related to the Trup Cdos.The presence of a below-investment grade rating severely limits the pool of available buyers and contributes to the illiquidity of the market.Trup Cdos have a more complex structure than most debt instruments, making projections of tranche returns difficult fornon-specialists in the product. Deferral features available to the underlying issuers within each pool are unique to these securities. Additionally, it can be difficult for market participants to predict whether deferrals will ultimately cure or ultimately default. Due to the lack of transparency, market participants will require a higher risk premium, thus resulting in higher required discount rates.The variability of cash flows at the time the securities were originated was expected to be very limited. Due to the financial crisis, Trup Cdos have experienced more substantive variability of cash flows compared to expectations, resulting in a higher risk premium when evaluating discount rates.The limited, yet relevant, observable inputs indicate that market yield requirements for Trup Cdos, on a credit-adjusted basis, remained very high relative to discount rates at purchase and compared to other similarly rated debt securities.Overall, the Company believes the lack of new issuances, illiquid secondary market, limited pool of buyers, below investment grade ratings,rated, and complex structures are the key drivers of the remaining unrealized losses in the Company’s Trup Cdos and the robust expected cash flow analysis substantiates the return of the remaining amortized cost under ASC topic 320.Management also considered the ratings of the Company’s bonds in its portfolio and the extent of downgrades in United’s impairment analysis. However, management considered it imperative to independently perform its own credit analysis based on cash flows as described. The ratings of the investment grade Trup Cdos in the table above range from a low of AA to a high of Aaa. The below investment grade Trup Cdos range from a low of C to a high of Ba2.On the Trup Cdos that have not been deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the collateralization ratios range from a low of 105.4% to a high of 414.5%, with a median of 260.0%, and a weighted average of 283.8%. The collateralization ratio is defined as the current performing collateral in a security, divided by the current balance of the specific tranche the Company owns, plus any debt which is senior or pari passu with the Company’s security’s priority level. Performing collateral excludes the balance of any issuer that has either defaulted or has deferred its interest payment. It is not uncommon for the collateralization of a security that is not other-than-temporarily impaired to be less than 100% due to the excess spread built into the securitization structure.Except for the debt securities that have already been deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, management does not believe any2% were unrated. For other individual security with an unrealized loss as of September 30, 2017 is other-than-temporarily impaired. For these securities, United believes the decline in value resulted from changes in market interest rates, credit spreads and liquidity, not a change in the expected contractual cash flows. Based on a review of each of the securities in the investment portfolio, management concluded that it expected to recover the amortized cost basis of the investment in such securities.Equity securitiesThe amortized cost of United’s equity securities was $9,950 at September 30, 2017. For equitycorporate securities, management has evaluated the near-term prospects of the investment in relation to the severity and duration of any impairmentunrealized loss. Based upon management’s analysis and based on that evaluation, managementjudgment, it was determined that no equity securities were other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017.Other investment securities (cost method)During the third quarter of 2017, United also evaluated all of its cost method investments to determine if certain events or changes in circumstances during the third quarter of 2017 had a significant adverse effect on the fair value of any of its cost method securities. United determined that there were no events or changes in circumstances during the third quarter which would have an adverse effect on the fair value of any of its cost method securities. Therefore, no impairment was recorded.Below is a progressionnone of the other corporate securities had credit losses on securities which United has recorded other-than-temporary charges. These charges were recorded through earnings and other comprehensive income. Three Months Ended

United’s method of income recognition for loans and leases that are classified as nonaccrual is to recognize interest income on a cash basis or apply the cash receipt to principal when the ultimate collectibility of principal is in doubt. Nonaccrual loans and leases will not normally be returned to accrual status unless all past due principal and interest has been paid and the borrower has evidenced their ability to meet the contractual provisions of the note.A loan is categorized as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if a concession is granted and there is deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. TDRs can take the form of a reduction of the stated interest rate, splitting a loan into separate loans with market terms on one loan and concessionary terms on the other loan, receipts of assets from a debtor in partial or full satisfaction of a loan, the extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, the reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement, the reduction of accrued interest or any other concessionary type of renegotiated debt. As of September 30, 2017, United had TDRs of $46,132 as compared to $21,152 as of December 31, 2016. Of the $46,132 aggregate balance of TDRs at September 30, 2017, $29,717 was on nonaccrual status and included in the “Loans on Nonaccrual Status” on the following pages. Of the $21,152 aggregate balance of TDRs at December 31, 2016, $11,106 was on nonaccrual status and included in the “Loans on Nonaccrual Status” on the following page. As of September 30, 2017, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to debtors owing receivables whose terms have been modified in TDRs. At September 30, 2017, United had restructured loans in the amount of $2,043 that were modified by a reduction in the interest rate, $4,507 that were modified by a combination of a reduction in the interest rate and the principal and $39,582 that was modified by a change in terms.A loan acquired and accounted for under ASC topic310-30 “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” is reported as an accruing loan and a performing asset.No loans were restructured during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

In addition, during the first nine months of 2016, $1,400 of restructured loans were modified by a combination of a reduction in the interest rate and an extension of the maturity date. In some instances, the post-modification balance on the restructured loans is larger than thepre-modification balance due to the advancement of monies for items such as delinquent taxes on real estate property. The loans were evaluated individually for allocation within United’s allowance for loan losses.

A doubtful loan has a high probability of total or substantial loss, but because of specific pending events that may strengthen the loan, its classification as loss is deferred. Doubtful borrowers are usually in default, lack adequate liquidity or capital, and lack the resources necessary to remain an operating entity. Pending events can include mergers, acquisitions, liquidations, capital injections, the perfection of liens on additional collateral, the valuation of collateral, and refinancing.

For commercial loans, when a loan or a portion of a loan is identified to contain a loss, acharge-off recommendation is directed to management tocharge-off all or a portion of that loan. Generally, any unsecured commercial loan more than six months delinquent in payment of interest must becharged-off in full. If secured, thecharge-off is generally made to reduce the loan balance to a level equal to the liquidationfair value of the collateral when payment of principalat the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. These individually evaluated loans are removed from their respective pools and interest is six months delinquent.

On retail credits effected by fraud, a loan ischarged-off within 90 days of the discovery of the fraud. In the event of the borrower’s death and if repayment within the required timeframe is uncertain, the loan is generallycharged-off as soonsame as the amount of the loss is determined.For loans acquired through the completion of a transfer, including loans acquired in a business combination, that have evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it is probable, at acquisition, that United will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable are initially recorded at fair value (as determined by the present valuesubsequent measurement of expected future cash flows) with no valuation allowance.

For allowance for credit losses under ASC Topic 326 calculation purposes, United includes its acquired loans and leases in their relevant pool unless they meet the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition and the investment in the loan, or the “accretable yield,” is recognized as interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loan. Contractually required paymentscriteria for interest and principal that exceed the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition, or the “nonaccretable difference,” are not recognized as a yield adjustment or as a loss accrual or a valuation allowance. Increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the initial investment are recognized prospectively through adjustment of the yield on the loan over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairment. Valuation allowances on these impaired loans reflect only losses incurred after the acquisition (meaning the present value of all cash flows expected at acquisition that ultimately are not to be received).

These commitments, which contain fixed expiration dates, offer the borrower an interest rate guarantee provided the loan meets underwriting guidelines and closes within the timeframe established by United. Interest rate risk arises on these commitments and subsequently closed loans if interest rates change between the time of the interest rate lock and the delivery of the loan to the investor. Market risk on interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held for sale is managed using corresponding forward mortgage loan sales contracts. United is a party to these forward mortgage loan sales contracts to sell loans with servicing either released or retained and short sales of mortgage-backed securities. When the interest rate is locked with the borrower, the rate lock commitment, forward sale agreement, and mortgage-backed security position are undesignated derivatives and marked to fair value through earnings. The fair value of the rate lock derivative includesis measured using valuations from investors for loans with similar characteristics as well as considering the servicing premium andprobability of the interest spreadloan closing (i.e. the “pull-through” rate) with some adjusted for the difference between retail and wholesale mortgage rates.Company’s actual sales experience versus the investor’s indicated pricing. Fair values of TBA mortgage-backed securities are measured using valuations from investors for mortgage-backed securities with similar characteristics. Income from mortgage banking activities includes the gain recognized for the period presented and associated elements of fair value.United sells mortgage loans on either a best efforts or mandatory delivery basis. For loans sold on a mandatory delivery basis, United enters into forward mortgage-backed securities (the “residual hedge”) to mitigate the effect of interest rate risk. Both the rate lock commitment under mandatory delivery and the residual hedge are recorded at fair value through earnings and are not designated as accounting hedges. At the closing of the loan, the loan commitment derivative expires and United records a loan held for sale at fair value and continues to mark these assets to market under the election of fair value option. United closes out of the trading mortgage-backed securities assigned within the residual hedge and replaces the securities with a forward sales contract once a price has been accepted by an investor and recorded at fair value.The derivative portfolio also includes derivative financial instruments not included in hedge relationships. These derivatives consist of interest rate swaps used for interest rate management purposes and derivatives executed with commercial banking customers to facilitate their interest rate management strategies. For derivatives that are not designated in a hedge relationship, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognized in earnings in the same period as the change in fair value. Gains and losses on other derivative financial instruments are included in noninterest income and noninterest expense, respectively.September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016.

If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Using a market approach valuation methodology, third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that considersbased on observable market data (Level 2)inputs, which include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, and “To Be Announced” prices (“Level 2”). Management internally reviews the fair values provided by third party vendors on a monthly basis. Management’s review consists of comparing fair values assignedManagement also performs a quarterly price testing analysis at the individual security level which compares the pricing provided by the third party vendors to trades and offerings observed by management. The review requires some degreean independent pricing source’s valuation of judgment as to the number or percentage of securities to review on the part of management which could fluctuate based on results of past reviews and in comparison to current expectations. Exceptionssame securities. Variances that are deemed to be material are reviewed by management. Additionally, to further assess the reliability of the information received from third party vendors, management obtains documentation from third party vendors related to the sources, methodologies, and inputs utilized in valuing securities classified as Level 2. Management analyzes this information to ensure the underlying assumptions appear reasonable. Management also obtains an independent service auditor’s report from third party vendors to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate controls are in place over the valuation process. Upon completing its review of the pricing from third party vendors at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, management determined that the prices provided by its third party pricing sourcesources were reasonable and in line with management’s expectations for the market values of these securities. Therefore, prices obtained from third party vendors that did not reflect forced liquidation or distressed sales were not adjusted materially by management at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2023. Management utilizes a number of factors to determine if a market is inactive, all of which may require a significant level of judgment. Factors that management considers include: a significant widening of theconsiders its valuation ofdoes not have any Trup Cdos The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic assumes that fair values of financial assets are determined in an orderly transaction and not a forced liquidation or distressed sale at the measurement date. Based on financial market conditions, United feels that the fair values obtained from its third party vendor reflect forced liquidation or distressed sales for these Trup Cdos due to decreased volume and trading activity. Additionally, management held discussions with institutional traders to identify trends in the number and type of transactions related to the Trup Cdos sector. Based upon management’s review of the market conditions for Trup Cdos, it was determined that an income approach valuation technique (present value technique) that maximizes the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs is more representative of fair value than the valuation technique used by United’s third party vendor. The present value technique discounts expected future cash flows of a security to arrive at a present value. Management considers the following items when calculating the appropriate discount rate: the implied rate of return when the market was last active, changes in the implied rate of return as markets moved from very active to inactive, recent changes in credit ratings, and recent activity showing that the market has built in increased liquidity and credit premiums. Management’s internal credit review of each security was also factored in to determine the appropriate discount rate. The credit review considered each security’s collateral, subordination, excessspread, priority of claims, principal and interest. Discount margins used in the valuation at September 30, 2017 ranged from LIBOR plus 3.25% to LIBOR plus 6.00%. Management completed a sensitivity analysis on the fair value of its Trup Cdos. Given a comprehensive 200 basis point increase in the discount rates, the total fair value of these securities would decline by approximately 18%, or $5,741.pricing.

These derivatives consist of interest rate swaps used for interest rate management purposes and derivatives executed with commercial banking customers to facilitate their interest rate management strategies. United utilizes third-party vendors for derivative valuation purposes. These vendors determine the appropriate fair value based on a net present value calculation of the cash flows related to the interest rate swaps using primarily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves (Level 2)(“Level 2”). Valuation adjustments to derivative fair values for liquidity and credit risk are also taken into consideration, as well as the likelihood of default by United and derivative counterparties, the net counterparty exposure and the remaining maturities of the positions. Values obtained from third party vendors are typically not adjusted by management. Management internally reviews the derivative values provided by third party vendors on a quarterly basis. All derivative values are tested for reasonableness by management utilizing a net present value calculation.tax.

The fair value is based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for similar loans using observable market data which is not materially different than cost due to the short duration between origination and sale (Level 2). As such, United records any fair value adjustments for these loans held for sale on a nonrecurring basis. No nonrecurring fair value adjustments were recorded on loans held for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Gains and losses on sale of loansthe collateral, expected credit losses are recorded within income from mortgage banking activities on the Consolidated Statements of Income.Impaired Loans: Loans are designated as impaired when, in the judgment of management based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement will not be collected. Impairment is measured based upon the present value of expected future cash flows from the loan discounted at the loan’s effective rate and the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral ifat the loan is collateral dependent.reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. Fair value is measured using a market approach based on the value of the collateral securing the loans. Collateral may be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined utilizing an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed appraiser outside of the Company using comparable property sales (Level 2)(“Level 2”). However, if the collateral is a house or building in the process of construction or if an appraisal of the real estate property is over two years old, then the fair value is considered Level 3. The value of business equipment is based upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable business’ financial(Level 3)(“Level 3”). For impairedindividually assessed loans, a specific reserve is established through the Allowanceallowance for Loan Losses,loan losses, if necessary, by estimating the fair value of the underlying collateral on a nonrecurring basis. Any fair value adjustments are recorded in the period incurred as provision for credit losses expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income.OREO:(Level 2)(“Level 2”). In contrast, valuation of ongoing construction assets requires some degree of professional judgment. In conducting an appraisal for ongoing construction property, the appraiser develops two appraised amounts: an “as is” appraised value and a “completed” value. Based on professional judgment and their knowledge of the particular situation, management determines the appropriate fair value to be utilized for such property (Level 3)(“Level 3”). As a matter of policy, valuations are reviewed at least annually and appraisals are generally updated on aAssets:AssetsGoodwill impairment would be defined asUnited may elect to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether or not it is more-likely-than not that the difference between the recorded value of goodwill (i.e. book value) and the implied fair value of goodwill.

Ifvalue, an impairment charge would be recorded for the difference, not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. At each reporting date, the Company considers potential indicators of impairment. United performed its annual goodwill impairment test on the Company’s reporting units as of September 30, 2022. The goodwill impairment test did not identify any goodwill impairment. In subsequent periods, economic uncertainty and volatility and the performance of the Company’s stock as well as possible other impairment indicators could cause us to perform a goodwill impairment test which could result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period if the carrying value exceeds theof goodwill was found to exceed fair value, a step two test is performed whereby the implied fair value is computed by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets from the fair value of the reporting unit.value. Core deposit intangibles relate to the estimated value of the deposit base of acquired institutions. Management reviews core deposit intangible assets on an annual basis, or sooner if indicators of impairment exist, and evaluates changes in facts and circumstances that may indicate impairment in the carrying value.

Pension benefits are based on years of service and the average of the employee’s highest five consecutive plan years of basic compensation paid during the ten plan years preceding the date of determination. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date, but also for those expected to be earned in the future. DuringNo discretionary contributions were made during the thirdfirst quarter of 2017, United made a discretionary contribution of $10,000 to the Plan.In September of 2007, after a recommendation by United’s Pension Committee2023 and approval by United’s Board of Directors, the United Bankshares, Inc. Pension Plan (the Plan) was amended to change the participation rules. The decision to change the participation rules for the Plan followed current industry trends, as many large and medium size companies had taken similar steps. The amendment provides that employees hired on or after October 1, 2007, will not be eligible to participate in the Plan. However, new employees will be eligible to participate in United’s Savings and Stock Investment 401(k) plan. This change had no impact on current employees hired prior to October 1, 2007 as they will continue to participate in the Plan, with no change in benefit provisions, and will continue to be eligible to participate in United’s Savings and Stock Investment 401(k) plan.As of December 31, 2016, United changed the method used to estimate the interest cost component of net periodic benefit cost for the Plan. Under the previous method, appropriate spot rates were used to discount the projected benefit obligation (PBO) cash flows based on date of measurement. Then, a single aggregated discount rate was calculated such that the present value of the PBO remained the same. This rate is technically a weighted-average of the spot rates. This single discount rate was applied to the interest and service costs as well. Under the full yield curve approach, separate discount rates are used to calculate the present value for each projected cash flow. This does not have any impact on the present value of the PBO as the PBO was originally discounted with spot rates. The adoption of this method concerns the manner in which it affects interest and service costs. This new method constitutes a change in an accounting estimate under the provisions of ASC topic 250, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” that is inseparable from a change in accounting principle and was accounted for prospectively, with the resulting change impacting the recognition of net periodic pension cost beginning January 1, 2017. The impact of this accounting change on United’s net periodic pension cost for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 was a decline of $252 and $748, respectively, in expense from the amount that would have been recorded under the previous method.20162022 are unrecognized actuarial losses of $53,991$38,530 ($34,01429,553 net of tax) that have not yet been recognized in net periodic pension cost. The amortization of this item expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 is $4,411 ($2,779 net of tax).and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and 20162022 included the following components: Three Months Ended

However, at this time, United cannot reasonably estimate the amount of tax benefits it may recognize over the next 12 months.United is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2015 and 2016 and certain State Taxing authorities for the years ended December 31, 2014 through 2016.As of September 30, 2017 and 2016,2022, the total amount of accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions was $548$525 and $792,$753, respectively.

VIEs can be structured as corporations, trusts, partnerships, or other legal entities. United’s business practices include relationships with certain VIEs. For United, the business purpose of these relationships primarily consists of funding activities in the form of issuing trust preferred securities.fifteentwenty statutory business trusts that were created for the purpose of raising funds that originally qualified for Tier I regulatory capital. As previously discussed, with the acquisition of Cardinal, these trusts now are considered Tier II regulatory capital. These trusts, of which several were acquired through bank acquisitions, issued or participated in pools of trust preferred capital securities to third-party investors with the proceeds invested in junior subordinated debt securities of United. The Company, through a small capital contribution, owns 100% of the voting equity shares of each trust. The assets, liabilities, operations, and cash flows of each trust are solely related to the issuance, administration, and repayment of the preferred equity securities held by third-party investors. United fully and unconditionally guarantees the obligations of each trust and is obligated to redeem the junior subordinated debentures upon maturity. Amount of

Item 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Congress passed the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 to encourage corporations to provide investors with information about the company’s anticipated future financial performance, goals, and strategies. The act provides a safe harborhaven for such disclosure,disclosure; in other words, protection from unwarranted litigation if actual results are not the same as management expectations.
United desires to provide its shareholders with sound information about past performance and future trends. Consequently, any forward-looking statements contained in this report, in a report incorporated by reference to this report, or made by management of United in this report, in any other reports and filings, in press releases and in oral statements, involve numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. ActualForward-looking statements can be identified by the use of the words “expect,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” and other words of similar meaning. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and estimates, which although believed to be reasonable, may turn out to be incorrect, such as statements about the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, undue reliance should not be placed upon these estimates and statements. United cannot assure that any of these statements, estimates, or beliefs will be realized and actual results couldmay differ materially from those containedcontemplated in or implied by United’sthese “forward-looking statements.” United undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, for a variety of factors including, but not limited to: changes in economic conditions; business conditions in the banking industry; movements in interest rates; competitive pressures on product pricing and services; success and timing of business strategies; the nature and extent of governmental actions and reforms; and rapidly changing technology and evolving banking industry standards.
ACQUISITIONS
On April 21, 2017, United acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Cardinal Financial Corporation (“Cardinal”), headquartered in Tysons Corner, Virginia. The acquisition of Cardinal expands United’s existing footprint in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Statistical Area (“MSA”). Cardinal also operated George Mason Mortgage, LLC (“George Mason”), a residential mortgage lending company based in Fairfax, Virginia with offices located in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina and the District of Columbia. Aswhether as a result of the merger, George Mason became an indirectly-owned subsidiary of United. The Cardinal merger was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. At consummation, Cardinal had assets of $4.14 billion, portfolio loans of $3.31 billion and deposits of $3.34 billion.new information, future events, or otherwise.
TRANSITION FROM THE LONDON INTERBANK OFFERED RATE (LIBOR)
In addition,2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, publicly announced its intention to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit the rates used to calculate LIBOR after 2021. ICE Benchmark Administration (the publisher of LIBOR) discontinued publication of the closeone-week and two-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings on December 31, 2021, and will cease the publication of businessovernight, one-month, three-month, six-month, and twelve-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings on June 3, 2016, United acquired 100%30, 2023. It is assumed that LIBOR will either cease to be provided by any administrator or will no longer be representative of an acceptable market benchmark after these respective dates. Additionally, the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the outstanding common stockComptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have issued joint supervisory guidance encouraging banks to cease entering into any new contracts using LIBOR by December 31, 2021. Accordingly, United took steps to ensure compliance with the joint supervisory guidance, and no new contracts using LIBOR have been originated after December 31, 2021.
Working groups comprised of various regulators and other industry groups have been formed in the United States and other countries in order to provide guidance on this topic. In particular, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has been formed in the United States by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of Georgetown, a privately held community bank headquartered in Washington, D.C.New York. The acquisitionARRC

has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative reference rate for U.S. Dollar LIBOR. The ARRC has also published recommended fall-back language for LIBOR-linked financial instruments, among numerous other areas of Bank of Georgetown enhances United’s existing footprint in the Washington, D.C. MSA. The merger was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. At consummation, Bank of Georgetown had assets of approximately $1.28 billion, loans of $999.77 million, and deposits of $971.37 million.
Both the results of operations of Cardinal and Bank of Georgetown are included in the consolidated results of operations from their respective dates of acquisition. As a result of the Cardinal acquisition, the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 were impacted by increased levels of average balances, income, and expense as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 which were impacted by increased levels of average balances, income, and expense due to the Bank of Georgetown acquisition.guidance. In addition, the third quarterAdjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act, enacted in March 2022, provides a statutory framework to replace U.S. dollar LIBOR with a benchmark rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for contracts governed by U.S. law that have no or ineffective fallback, and first nine monthsin December 2022, the Federal Reserve Board adopted related implementing rules. At this time, however, it is unclear to what extent these recommendations will be broadly accepted by industry participants, whether they will continue to evolve, and what other alternatives may be adopted by the broader markets that utilize LIBOR as a reference rate. United has formed a project team comprised of 2017 included $532 thousandindividuals across various lines of business throughout the company to identify risks, monitor market developments, evaluate replacement benchmark alternatives, and $24.99 million, respectively,manage the company’s transition away from LIBOR. At this time, United is prioritizing SOFR and Prime as the preferred alternatives to LIBOR; however, these preferred alternatives could change over time based on market developments.
United has loans, derivative contracts, borrowings, and other financial instruments that are directly or indirectly dependent on LIBOR. The transition from LIBOR will cause changes to payment calculations for existing contracts that use LIBOR as the reference rate. These changes will create various risks surrounding the financial, operational, compliance and legal aspects associated with changing certain elements of merger-related expensesexisting contracts. United will also be subject to risks surrounding changes to models and systems that currently use LIBOR reference rates, as well as market and strategic risks that could arise from the Cardinal acquisitionuse of alternative reference rates. Additionally, United could face reputational risks if this transition is not managed appropriately with its customers. While the full impact of the transition is not yet known, failure to adequately manage the transition could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and the third quarter and first nine monthsresults of 2016 included $924 thousand and $5.61 million, respectively, of merger-related expenses to the Bank of Georgetown acquisition.operations.
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and analysis presents the significant changes in financial condition and the results of operations of United and its subsidiaries for the periods indicated below. This discussion and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts
of United Bankshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated. Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, but prior to the date these financial statements were issued, for potential recognition or disclosure required in these financial statements.
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes thereto, which are included elsewhere in this document.
USE OFNON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This discussion and analysis contains a certain financial measuremeasures that isare not recognized under GAAP. Under SEC Regulation G, public companies making disclosures containing financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP must also disclose, along with each“non-GAAP” financial measure, certain additional information, including a reconciliation of thenon-GAAP financial measure to the closest comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the company’s reasons for utilizing thenon-GAAP financial measure.
Generally, United has presented thisa non-GAAP financial measure because it believes that this measure provides meaningful additional information to assist in the evaluation of United’s results of operations or financial position. Presentation of thisa non-GAAP financial measure is consistent with how United’s management evaluates its performance internally and thisnon-GAAP financial measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the banking industry. Specifically, this discussion contains certain references to a financial measuremeasures identified astax-equivalent (“FTE”) net interest income.income and return on average tangible equity. Management believes thisthese non-GAAP financial measure, if significant,measures to be helpful in understanding United’s results of operations or financial position.
57
Net interest income is presented in this discussion on a tax-equivalent basis. The tax-equivalent basis adjusts for the tax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. Although this is a non-GAAP measure, United’s management believes this measure is more widely used within the financial services industry and provides better comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. United uses this measure to monitor net interest income performance and to manage its balance sheet composition.
Average tangible equity is calculated as GAAP total shareholders’ equity minus total intangible assets. Tangible equity can thus be considered a more conservative valuation of the company. When considering net income, a return on average tangible equity can be calculated. Management provides a return on average equity to facilitate the understanding of as well as to assess the quality and composition of United’s capital structure. This measure, along with others, is used by management to analyze capital adequacy and performance.
However, thisnon-GAAP information should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Where thenon-GAAP financial measure is used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as reconciliation to that comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the company’s reasons for utilizing thenon-GAAP financial measure, can be found within this discussion and analysis. Investors should recognize that United’s presentation of thisnon-GAAP financial measure might not be comparable to a similarly titled measure at other companies.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies of United conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions and judgments, which are reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the financial statement notes and in this financial review, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the determination of the allowance for creditloan and lease losses, the valuation of investment securities and the related other-than-temporary impairment analysis, the accounting for acquired loans and the calculation of the income tax provision, and the use of fair value measurements to account for certain financial instruments to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments, and as such could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.
Allowance for Credit Losses
As explainedUnited’s critical accounting policies involving the significant judgments and assumptions used in Note 6, Allowance for Credit Losses to the unauditedpreparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2023 were unchanged from the
allowance policies disclosed in United’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for loan losses represents management’s estimate of the probable credit losses inherent inyear ended December 31, 2022 within the lending portfolio.
Determining the allowance for loan losses requires management to make estimates of losses that are highly uncertain and require a high degree of judgment. At September 30, 2017, the allowance for loan losses was $74.9 million and is subject to periodic adjustment based on management’s assessment of current probable losses in the loan portfolio. Such adjustment from period to period can have a significant impact on United’s consolidated financial statements. To illustrate the potential effect on the financial statements of our estimates of the allowance for loan losses, a 10% increase in the allowance for loan losses would have required $7.5 million in additional allowance (funded by additional provision for credit losses), which would have negatively impacted the third quarter of 2017 net income by approximately $4.9 million,after-tax or $0.05 diluted per common share. Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the appropriate provision for loan losses is based upon a quarterly evaluation of the loan portfolio. This evaluation is inherently subjective and requires significant estimates, including estimates related to the amounts and timing of future cash flows, value of collateral, losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends, all of which are susceptible to constant and significant change. The allowance allocated to specific credits and loan pools grouped by similar risk characteristics is reviewed on a quarterly basis and adjusted as necessary based upon subsequent changes in circumstances. In determining the components of the allowance for loan losses, management considers the risk arising in part from, but not limited to,charge-off and delinquency trends, current economic and business conditions, lending policies and procedures, the size and risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, concentrations of credit, and other various factors. The methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses is described in Note 6. A discussion of the factors leading to changes in the amount of the allowance for credit losses is included in the Provision for Credit Losses section of this Management’s“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A). Additional information relating to United’s loans is included in Note 4, Loans to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.Operations.”
Investment Securities
Accounting estimates are used in the presentation of the investment portfolio and these estimates impact the presentation of United’s financial condition and results of operations. United classifies its investments in debt as either held to maturity or available for sale and its equity securities as available for sale. Securities held to maturity are accounted for using historical costs, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Securities available for sale are accounted for at fair value, with the net unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax effects, presented as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. When available, fair values of securities are based on quoted prices or prices obtained from third party vendors. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data. Prices obtained from third party vendors that do not reflect forced liquidation or distressed sales are not adjusted by management. Where prices reflect forced liquidation or distressed sales, as is the case with United’s portfolio of trust preferred securities (Trup Cdos), management estimates fair value based on a discounted cash flow methodology using appropriately adjusted discount rates reflecting nonperformance and liquidity risks. Due to the subjective nature of this valuation process, it is possible that the actual fair values of these securities could differ from the estimated amounts, thereby affecting United’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The potential impact to United’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for changes in the valuation process cannot be reasonably estimated.
If the estimated value of investments is less than the cost or amortized cost, the investment is considered impaired and management evaluates whether an event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. If such an event or change has occurred, management must exercise judgment to determine the nature of the potential impairment (i.e., temporary or other-than-temporary) in order to apply the appropriate accounting treatment. If United intends to sell, or is more likely than not they will be required to sell an impaired debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss, other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in earnings. The amount recognized in earnings is equal to the entire difference
between the security’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If United does not intend to sell, and is not more likely than not they will be required to sell the impaired debt security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated into the following: 1) the amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and 2) the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. For additional information on management’s consideration of investment valuation and other-than-temporary impairment, see Note 3, Investment Securities, and Note 12, Fair Value Measurements, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Acquired Loans
Loans acquired are initially recorded at their acquisition date fair values. The fair value of the acquired loans is based on the present value of the expected cash flows, including principal, interest and prepayments. Periodic principal and interest cash flows are adjusted for expected losses and prepayments, then discounted to determine the present value and summed to arrive at the estimated fair value. Fair value estimates involve assumptions and judgments as to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, liquidity risk, default rates, loss severity, payment speeds, collateral values and discount rate.
Acquired loans are divided into loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration, which are accounted for under ASC topic310-30 (acquired impaired) and loans that do not meet this criteria, which are accounted for under ASC topic310-20 (acquired performing). Acquired impaired loans have experienced a deterioration of credit quality from origination to acquisition for which it is probable that United will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable, including both principal and interest. In the assessment of credit quality, numerous assumptions, interpretations and judgments must be made, based on internal and third-party credit quality information and ultimately the determination as to the probability that all contractual cash flows will not be able to be collected. This is a point in time assessment and inherently subjective due to the nature of the available information and judgment involved.
Subsequent to the acquisition date, United continues to estimate the amount and timing of cash flows expected to be collected on acquired impaired loans. Increases in expected cash flows will generally result in a recovery of any previously recorded allowance for loan losses, to the extent applicable, and/or a reclassification from the nonaccretable difference to accretable yield, which will be recognized prospectively. The present value of any decreases in expected cash flows after the acquisition date will generally result in an impairment charge recorded as a provision for loan losses, resulting in an increase to the allowance for loan losses.
For acquired performing loans, the difference between the acquisition date fair value and the contractual amounts due at the acquisition date represents the fair value adjustment. Fair value adjustments may be discounts (or premiums) to a loan’s cost basis and are accreted (or amortized) to interest income over the loan’s remaining life using the level yield method. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the methods utilized to estimate the required allowance for loan losses for these loans is similar to originated loans.
See Note 2, Merger and Acquisitions, and Note 4, Loans, to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding United’s acquired loans disclosures.
Income Taxes
United’s calculation of income tax provision is inherently complex due to the various different tax laws and jurisdictions in which we operate and requires management’s use of estimates and judgments in its determination. The current income tax liability also includes income tax expense related to our uncertain tax positions as required in ASC topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Changes to the estimated accrued taxes can occur due to changes in tax rates, implementation of new business strategies, resolution of issues with taxing authorities and recently enacted statutory,
judicial and regulatory guidance. These changes can be material to the Company’s operating results for any particular reporting period. The analysis of the income tax provision requires the assessments of the relative risks and merits of the appropriate tax treatment of transactions, filing positions, filing methods and taxable income calculations after considering statutes, regulations, judicial precedent and other information. United strives to keep abreast of changes in the tax laws and the issuance of regulations which may impact tax reporting and provisions for income tax expense. United is also subject to audit by federal and state authorities. Because the application of tax laws is subject to varying interpretations, results of these audits may produce indicated liabilities which differ from United’s estimates and provisions. United continually evaluates its exposure to possible tax assessments arising from audits and records its estimate of probable exposure based on current facts and circumstances. The potential impact to United’s operating results for any of the changes cannot be reasonably estimated. See Note 15, Income Taxes, to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding United’s ASC topic 740 disclosures.
Use of Fair Value Measurements
United determines the fair value of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in ASC topic 820, whereby the fair value of certain assets and liabilities is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC topic 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs in the methodology for determining fair value are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market-based information obtained from independent sources (Level 1 or Level 2), while unobservable inputs reflect management’s estimate of market data (Level 3). For assets and liabilities that are actively traded and have quoted prices or observable market data, a minimal amount of subjectivity concerning fair value is needed. Prices and values obtained from third party vendors that do not reflect forced liquidation or distressed sales are not adjusted by management. When quoted prices or observable market data are not available, management’s judgment is necessary to estimate fair value.
At September 30, 2017, approximately 10.98% of total assets, or $2.10 billion, consisted of financial instruments recorded at fair value. Of this total, approximately 81.87% or $1.72 billion of these financial instruments used valuation methodologies involving observable market data, collectively Level 1 and Level 2 measurements, to determine fair value. Approximately $381.00 million or 18.13% of these financial instruments were valued using unobservable market information or Level 3 measurements. Most of these financial instruments valued using unobservable market information were pooled trust preferred investment securities classified asavailable-for-sale. At September 30, 2017, only $1.03 million or less than 1% of total liabilities were recorded at fair value. This entire amount was valued using methodologies involving observable market data. United does not believe that any changes in the unobservable inputs used to value the financial instruments mentioned above would have a material impact on United’s results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. See Note 12, Fair Value Measurements, to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding ASC topic 820 and its impact on United’s financial statements.
Any material effect on the financial statements related to these critical accounting areas are further discussed in this MD&A.

The Company defines “Excess Subordination” as all outstanding collateral less the sum of (i) 100% of the defaulted collateral, (ii) the sum of the projected net loss amounts for each piece of the deferring but not defaulted collateral and (iii) the amount of each Trup Cdo’s debt that is either senior to or pari passu with our security’s priority level.
The calculation of excess subordination in the above table does not consider the OTTI the Company has recognized on these securities. While the ratio of excess subordination provides some insight on overall collateralization levels, the Company completes an expected cash flow analysis each quarter to determine whether an adverse change in future cash flows has occurred under ASC 320. The standard specifies that a cash flow projection can be present-valued at the security specific effective interest rate and the resulting present value compared to the amortized cost in order to quantify the credit component of impairment. The Company utilizes the cash flow models to determine the net realizable value and assess whether additional OTTI has occurred.
While the ratio of excess subordination provides some insight on overall collateralization levels, the Company does not utilize this ratio to calculate OTTI. The ratio of excess subordination represents only one component of the projected cash flow. The Company believes the excess subordination is limited as it does not consider the following:
Waterfall structure and redirection of cash flows
Excess interest spread
Cash reserves
The collateral backing of a particular tranche can be increased by decreasing the more senior liabilities of the Trup Cdo tranche. This occurs when collateral deterioration due to defaults and deferrals triggers alternative waterfall provisions of the cash flow. The waterfall structure of the bond requires the excess spread to be rerouted away from the most junior classes of debt (which includes the income notes) in order to pay down the principal of the most senior liabilities. As these senior liabilities are paid down, the senior and mezzanine tranches become better secured (due to the rerouting away from the income notes). Therefore, variances will exist between the calculated excess subordination measure and the amount of OTTI recognized due to the impact of the specific structural features of each bond as it relates to the cash flow models.

During the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2023, United did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment charges.credit losses on its available for sale investment securities. Management does not believe that any individual security with an unrealized loss as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 is other-than-temporarily impaired. United believes the decline in value resulted from changes in market interest rates, credit spreads and liquidity, not an adverse change in the expected contractual cash flows.a deterioration of credit. Based on a review of each of the securities in the available for sale investment portfolio, management concluded that it was not probablemore-likely-than-not that it would be unableable to realize the cost basis investment and appropriate interest payments on such securities. United has the intent and the ability to hold these securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature. As of March 31, 2023, there was no allowance for credit losses related to the Company’s available for sale securities. However, United acknowledges that any impaired securities in an unrealized loss position may be sold in future periods in response to significant, unanticipated changes in asset/liability management decisions, unanticipated future market movements or business plan changes.

On a linked quarter basis, noninterest income for the first quarter of 2023 increased $614 thousand from the fourth quarter of 2022 due mainly to a higher amount of income from bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) policies.
Noninterest expense was $122.79 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $114.54 million for the same period of 2016. Noninterest income decreased by $1.91 million to $53.41 million for the first nine months of 2017 as compared to $55.32 million for the first nine months of 2016. The decrease was mainly due to a decline of $1.04 million in income from bank-owned life insurance policies due to death benefits recorded in the third quarter of 2016. Noninterest expense was $215.94 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $186.32 million for the same period of 2016.2022. The increase of $29.61$8.25 million in noninterest expense was primarily attributable to increasesan increase in branches, staffing and merger-related expensesFederal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) expense due to a higher assessment rate.

The following discussion explains in more detail the consolidated results of operations by major category.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the primary component of United’s earnings. It is the difference between interest income from earning assets and interest expense incurred to fund these assets. Net interest income is impacted by changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in market interest rates. Such changes, and their impact on net interest income in 20172023 and 2016,2022, are presented below.
Net interest income for the thirdfirst quarter of 20172023 was $150.28$234.32 million, which was an increase of $39.21$42.82 million or 35.30%22.36% from the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2022. The $39.21$42.82 million increase in net interest income occurred because total interest income increased $48.45$126.51 million while total interest expense only increased $9.24$83.69 million from the thirdfirst quarter of 2016. Net2022. On a linked-quarter basis, net interest income for the first nine monthsquarter of 2017 was $394.14 million, which was an increase of $82.062023 decreased $15.08 million, or 26.30%6.05%, from the first nine monthsfourth quarter of 2016.2022. The $82.06$15.08 million increasedecrease in net interest income occurred because total interest income increased $102.57$21.56 million while total interest expense only increased $20.51$36.65 million from the first nine months of 2016. On a linked-quarter basis, net interest income for the thirdfourth quarter of 2017 increased $14.03 million or 10.30% from the second quarter of 2017. The $14.03 million increase in net interest income occurred because total interest income increased $16.64 million while total interest expense only increased $2.61 million from the second quarter of 2017. Generally, interest income for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 increased from the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 because of the earning assets added from the Cardinal acquisition. In addition, loan accretion on acquired loans for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 increased from the same time periods last year and the second quarter of 2017. 2022.
For the purpose of this remaining discussion, net interest income is presented on atax-equivalent basis to provide a comparison among all types of interest earning assets. Thetax-equivalent basis adjusts for thetax-favored status of income from certain loans and investments. Although this is anon-GAAP measure, United’s management believes this measure is more widely used within the financial services industry and provides better comparability of net interest income arising from taxable andtax-exempt sources. United uses this measure to monitor net interest income performance and to manage its balance sheet composition.
Tax-equivalent net interest income for the thirdfirst quarter of 20172023 was $152.37$235.46 million, which was an increase of $39.74$42.84 million or 35.29%22.24% from the thirdfirst quarter of 2016 due mainly to an2022. The increase in averagenet interest income and tax-equivalent net interest income was primarily due to the impact of rising market interest rates on earning assets, organic loan growth and a change in the asset mix to higher earning assets. These increases were partially offset by higher interest expense primarily driven by deposit rate repricing and higher average balances of long-term borrowings as well as lower income from Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan fees and acquired loan accretion. The interest rate spread for the first quarter of 2023 increased 4 basis points from the Cardinal acquisition.first quarter of 2022 to 2.93% due to a 194 basis point increase in the average yield on earning assets partially offset by a 190 basis point increase in the average cost of funds.

Provision for LoanCredit Losses
The provision for credit losses was $6.89 million for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to a net benefit of $3.41 million for the first quarter of 2022. On a linked-quarter basis, the provision for credit losses for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $16.37 million. United’s provision for credit losses relates to its portfolio of loans and leases, held-to-maturity securities and interest receivable on loans which are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs.

Note:
(1) | On January 1, 2023, United adopted ASU 2022-02, “Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” prospectively which eliminated the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings and enhanced creditors’ disclosure requirements related to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. After the adoption of ASU 2022-02, United no longer considers accruing restructured loans that are fewer than 90 days past due as nonperforming loans or nonperforming assets. Nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets at December 31, 2022 included $9,127 of restructured loans that were on accruing status and fewer than 90 days past due but classified as nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets. Restructured loans that are on nonaccrual or 90-day past due are included in the above nonperforming loan and nonperforming asset categories at March 31, 2023. |
Restructured loans with an aggregate balance of $113.26 million or 1.10% of loans, net of unearned income$7,186 at December 31, 2016. The components2022 were on nonaccrual status, but are not included in “Nonaccrual loans” above. Restructured loans with an aggregate balance of nonperforming loans include: 1) nonaccrual loans, 2) loans which are contractually$3,075 at December 31, 2022 were 90 days past due, but not included in “Loans past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal, but have not been put on a nonaccrual basis and 3) loans whose terms have been restructured for economic or legal reasons due to financial difficulties of the borrowers.
Loans past due 90 days or more and still on accrual were $22.25 million at September 30, 2017 which was an increase of $13.66 million or 159.13% from $8.59 million atyear-end 2016. The increase was due to the delinquency of a $14.83 million credit atquarter-end. At September 30, 2017, nonaccrual loans were $100.02 million, an increase of $16.49 million or 19.74% from $83.53 million atyear-end 2016. This increase was due to the downgrade and transfer to nonaccrual of several oil, gas and coal industry relationships within the Company’s loan portfolio. Restructured loans were $46.13 million at September 30, 2017, an increase of $24.98 million or 118.10% from $21.15 million atyear-end 2016. Ten loans totaling $30.89 million were restructured during the first nine months of 2017. Two of the restructured loans totaling $20.99 million were associated with an oil, gas and coal industry-related relationship. The remaining difference was mainly due to repayments and acharge-off. The loss potential on these loans has been properly evaluated and allocated within the Company’s allowance for loan losses.
Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans and real estate acquired in foreclosure or other settlement of loans (OREO). Total nonperforming assets of $195.22 million, including OREO of $26.83 million at September 30, 2017, represented 1.02% of total assets.

Loans are designated as impaired when, in the opinion of management, the collection of principal and interest in accordance with the loan contract is doubtful. At September 30, 2017, impaired loans were $420.46 million, which was an increase of $112.02 million or 36.32% from $308.44 million at December 31, 2016. This increase was due mainly to the acquired impaired loans from Cardinal and the Company’s exposure to the oil, gas and coal industry. Acquired impaired loans are accounted for under ASC Subtopic310-30. The recorded investment balance and the contractual principal balance of the acquired impaired loans were $227.75 million and $310.61 million, respectively, at September 30, 2017 as compared to $171.60 million and $231.10 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016. For the acquired impaired loans accounted for under ASC310-30, the difference between the contractually required payments due and the cash flows expected to be collected, considering the impact of prepayments, is referred to as the non-accretable difference (the credit mark). The credit mark is not recognized in income. The remaining credit mark was $70.75 million and $58.88 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. For further details regarding impaired loans, see Note 5 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.more” above.
United maintains an allowance for loan and lease losses and a reserve for lending-related commitments. The combined allowance for loan losses and reserve for lending-related commitments are referred to asis considered the allowance for credit losses. At September 30, 2017 and DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2023, the allowance for credit losses was $75.73$289.28 million and $73.82as compared to $280.94 million respectively.at December 31, 2022.

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, the allowance for loan and lease losses was $74.93$240.49 million as compared to $72.78$234.75 million at December 31, 2016.2022. The increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses was due mainly to increased reserves for several loan segments including nonowner-occupied commercial real estate, residential real estate, and construction and loan development. As a percentage of loans and leases, net of unearned income, the allowance for loan losses was 0.57%1.17% at September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and 0.70%1.14% at December 31, 2016, respectively.2022. The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans and leases or coverage ratio was 44.49%567.18% and 64.25%400.33% at September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016,2022, respectively. The Company’s detailed methodology and analysis indicated a minimal increase in this ratio was due mainly to a decline in nonperforming loans.
United continues to evaluate risks which may impact its loan and lease portfolios. Reserves are initially determined based on losses identified from the allowancePD/LGD and Cohort models which utilize the Company’s historical information. Then, any qualitative adjustments are applied to account for loan losses primarily becausethe Company’s view of current conditions, the future and other factors.
The first quarter of 2023 qualitative adjustments include analyses of the offsetting factorsfollowing:
• | Current conditions – United considered the impact of inflation, interest rates, the regulatory environment due to recent bank failures and geopolitical conflict when making determinations related to factor adjustments for the external environment. United also considered portfolio trends related to economic and business conditions, collateral values for dependent loans; past due, nonaccrual and graded loans and leases; and concentrations of credit. |
• | Reasonable and supportable forecasts – The forecast is determined on a portfolio-by-portfolio basis by relating the correlation of real GDP and the unemployment rate to loss rates to forecasts of those variables. The reasonable and supportable forecast selection is subjective in nature and requires more judgment compared to the other components of the allowance. Assumptions for the economic variables were the following: |
The forecast for real GDP in 2023 shifted slightly downward in the first quarter, from a projection of changes within historical0.50% for 2023 at the end of 2022 to 0.40% for 2023 with a larger downward shift for 2024, from a projection of 1.60% for 2024 at the end of 2022 to 1.20% for 2024. The unemployment rate remained fairly consistent to the end of 2022 with a steady trend expected throughout 2023 and 2024.
Greater risk of loss rates and reduced loss allocations on impaired loans.
Allocations are made for specific commercial loans based upon management’s estimate ofis probable in the borrowers’ ability to repay and other factors impacting collectibility. Other commercial loans not specifically reviewed on an individual basis are evaluated based on historical loss percentages applied to loan pools that have been segregated by risk. Allocations for loans other than commercial loans are made based upon historical loss experience adjusted for current environmental conditions. The allowance for credit losses includes estimated probable inherent but unidentified losses within theoffice portfolio due to uncertainties incontinued hybrid and remote work that may be exacerbated by future economic conditions delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable information about a borrower’s financial condition, the difficulty in identifying triggering events that correlate perfectly to subsequent loss rates, and risk factors that have not yet fully manifested themselves in loss allocation factors. In addition, a portion of the allowance accounts for the inherent imprecision in the allowance for credit losses analysis.construction portfolio due to weakened economic conditions.
• | Reversion to historical loss data occurs via a straight-line method during the year following the one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period. |
United’s company-wide review of the allowance for loan and lease losses at September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 produced increased allocationsreserves in onethree of the four loan categories.categories as compared to December 31, 2022. The allowance related to the commercial, financial & agricultural loan pool allocation increased $8.16$3.04 million primarily due to an increase in other commercial loans deemed impaired necessitating specific allowance allocation. Offsetting these increases was a decrease in the allocation relatedincreased outstanding balances and increased reasonable and supportable forecast adjustment particularly as it pertains to theoffice loans. The residential real estate reserve increased $2.25 million due to increased outstanding balances and increased risk of loss for past due, nonaccrual and graded loans. The real estate construction and development loan pool of $2.60reserve increased $1.65 million due to recognitionincreased risk of losses previously allocated. The residential real estate loan pool allocation decreased $2.92 million due to improvement in the Bank’sloss for collateral positionvalue for a significant relationshipdependent loans and reduction of impairment allocation required.increased reasonable and supportable forecast adjustment. The consumer loan pool also experiencedreserve decreased $1.19 million primarily due to a decrease of $290 thousand due to an improvement in historical loss rates. In summary, the overall level of the allowance for loan losses was relatively stable in comparison toyear-end 2016 as a result of offsetting factors within the portfolio as described above.outstanding balances.

Measuring impairmentexpected credit losses of a loan requires judgment and estimates, and the eventual outcomes may differ from
those estimates. Impairment isExpected credit losses are measured based upon the present value of expected future cash flows from the loan discounted at the loan’s effective rate the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When the selected measure is less than the recorded investment in the loan, an impairmentexpected credit loss has occurred. The allowance for impaired loans and

In comparison to the prioryear-end, this element of the allowance increased by $3.33 million primarilydecreased $293 thousand due to increased specific allocations for commercial,repayment of individually assessed loans and improved borrowers’ financial & agricultural loans.conditions such that individual assessments were no longer necessary.
Management believes that the allowance for credit losses of $75.73$289.28 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 is adequate to provide for probableexpected losses on existing loans and lending-related commitments based on information currently available. Note 6 to the accompanying unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements provides a progression of the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment.
United’s loan administration policies are focused on the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio in terms of loan approval and credit quality. The commercial loan portfolio is monitored for possible concentrations of credit in one or more industries. Management has lending limits as a percentage of capital per type of credit concentration in an effort to ensure adequate diversification within the portfolio. Most of United’s commercial loans are secured by real estate located in West Virginia, southeastern Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and the District of Columbia. It is the opinion of management that these commercial loans do not pose any unusual risks and that adequate consideration has been given to these loans in establishing the allowance for credit losses.
The provision for credit losses related to held to maturity securities for the first quarter of 2023 and 2022 was immaterial. The allowance for credit losses related to held to maturity securities was $18 thousand as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. There was no provision for credit losses recorded on available for sale investment securities for the first quarter of 2023 and 2022 and no allowance for credit losses on available for sale investment securities as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Management is not aware of any potential problem loans or leases, trends or uncertainties, which it reasonably expects, will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources which have not been disclosed. Additionally, management has disclosed all known material credits, which cause management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment schedules.
Other Income
Other income consists of all revenues, which are not included in interest and fee income related to earning assets. Noninterest income has been and will continue to be an important factor for improving United’s profitability. Recognizing the importance, management continues to evaluate areas where noninterest income can be enhanced.
Noninterest income for the thirdfirst quarter of 20172023 was $38.23$32.74 million, an increasea decrease of $19.21$13.28 million or 100.98% from the third quarter of 2016. Noninterest income for the first nine months of 2017 was $98.88 million, which was an increase of $45.50 million or 85.24%28.86% from the first nine monthsquarter of 2016.
2022. The decrease was due mainly to a decrease in income from mortgage banking activities primarily as a result of a rising interest rate environment and a lower margin on loans sold in the secondary market. Income from mortgage banking activities totaled $20.39$6.38 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 20172023 compared to $982 thousand$19.20 million for the same periodfirst quarter of 2016. For2022. The decrease of $12.82 million or 66.76% for the first nine monthsquarter of 2017 and 2016, income from mortgage banking activities2023 was $43.60 million and $2.50 million, respectively. The increases for 2017 are the result of the acquisition of Cardinal and, in particular, the acquisition of its mortgage banking subsidiary, George Mason. For the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, mortgagemainly due to decreased loan sales. Mortgage loan sales were $908.60$166.51 million and $43.32 million, respectively. Forin the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, mortgage loan sales were $1.67 billion and $112.70 million, respectively.

Partially offsetting these increases2022. The decrease was due mainly to noninterest income was a decline inlower income from bank-owned life insurance policies. Income from bank-owned life insurance for the third quarter and first nine monthsoverdraft fees primarily as a result of 2017 decreased $1.14 million or 44.79% and $1.04 million or 21.07%, respectively, from the third quarter and first nine months of 2016.

This increase was primarily due mainly to a declinean increase of $2.15$1.76 million or 38.18% in income from mortgage banking activities despite increased production and sales of mortgage loans in the secondary market. The decline wasmainly due mainly to the impact of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASC815-10-S99-1), formerly Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 109, accounting requirement to record unrealized gains associated with George Mason’s locked mortgagea higher quarter end loan pipeline which creates a timing difference in the recognition ofvaluation.

Other Expenses
Just as management continues to evaluate areas where noninterest income can be enhanced, it strives to improve the efficiency of its operations to reduce costs. Other expenses include all items of expense other than interest expense, the provision for loancredit losses, and income taxes. Noninterest expense increased $33.88for the first quarter of 2023 was $137.42 million, which was a decrease of $1.76 million or 53.96% for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. For the first nine months of 2017, noninterest expense increased $85.94 million or 46.28%1.26% from the first nine monthsquarter of 2016. Generally, these increases in 2017 from 2016 were the result of additional general operating expenses and increased merger-related charges from the Cardinal acquisition.2022.
Employee compensation for the thirdfirst quarter of 2017 increased $20.102023 decreased $7.21 million or 82.99% from the third quarter of 2016.

Merger severance charges of $12.78 million from the Cardinal acquisition were included in first nine months of 2017 as compared to $670 thousand in the first nine of 2016 from the Bank of Georgetown acquisition. Otherwise, base salaries for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 increased $9.37 million or 44.67% and $19.49 million or 32.41%, respectively, from the same time periods in 2016 due mainly to additional employees from the Cardinal acquisition. The remainder of the increase in employee compensation for the third quarter and first nine months of 20172022. This decrease was due mainly to higherlower employee incentivescommissions and commissions expense mainlyincentives related to thea decline in mortgage banking production of George Mason.and a decline in employee headcount.
Employee benefits expense for the thirdfirst quarter of 20172023 increased $2.10 million$584 thousand or 28.00%4.54% from the thirdfirst quarter of 2016. Employee benefits expense for the first nine months of 2017 increased $5.99 million or 28.03% as compared to the first nine months of 2016. The increases for third quarter and first nine months of 2017 were due in large part to additional health insurance expense of $1.11 million and $2.68 million, respectively, from the same time periods last year2022. This increase was primarily due to higher premiums and additional employees from the Cardinal acquisition. In addition, Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA)amounts of expense for third quarter and first nine months of 2017 increased $784 thousand and $2.69 million, respectively, from the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 due mainly to the additional employees from the Cardinal acquisitionpostretirement benefits.
Net occupancy expense increased $2.45 million or 35.34% and $9.12 million or 43.52% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases were due mainly to additional building rental expense from the offices added in the Cardinal acquisition. Included in net occupancy expense for the first nine months of 2017 were charges of $5.93 million for the termination of leases and the reduction in the value of leasehold improvements for closed offices in the Cardinal acquisition as compared to charges of $1.58 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 for the termination of leases for closed offices in the Bank of Georgetown acquisition.
Other real estate owned (OREO) expense for the third quarter of 20172023 increased $1.37$646 thousand or 5.77% from the first quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily due to higher amounts of building rental, depreciation and utilities expense partially offset by a decrease in maintenance expense.
FDIC expense increased $1.91 million or 102.16%71.60% from the thirdfirst quarter of 20162022 due to declines in the fair value on OREO properties.
Data processing expense increased $1.74 million or 45.11% and $3.97 million or 36.05% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods in prior year due to additional processing as a result of the Cardinal acquisition. In addition, the results for first nine months of 2017 included a penalty of $525 thousand for the termination of Cardinal’s data processing contract.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 decreased $546 thousand or 26.17% and $1.28 million or 20.17%, respectively, from the third quarter and first nine months of 2016 due to lower premiums.higher assessment rate.

Within other expenses, the most significant increases were consulting and legal expenses, business franchise taxes and advertising expense. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in the expense for the first nine months of 2017 increased $12.63 million or 28.19% from the first nine months of 2016. Included in other expensereserve for the third quarterunfunded commitments and first nine months of 2017 were merger-related expenses of $434 thousand and $5.83 million, respectively, as compared to merger-related expenses of $620 thousand and $2.78 million, respectively for the third quarter and first nine months of 2016. Amortization of core deposit intangibles increased $1.12 million and $2.60 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2016 due to the additional core deposit intangibles added in the Cardinal acquisition. Business and occupation (B&O) taxes increased $1.32 million and $2.47 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2016.merger expenses.
On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest expense for the thirdfirst quarter of 2017 decreased $15.49 million or 13.81%2023 was flat from the secondfourth quarter of 2017 generally2022, decreasing $123 thousand, or less than 1%. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily driven by a decrease in employee compensation of $2.12 million, net losses on the sale of OREO properties of $1.11 million and other expense of $2.42 million. The decrease in employee compensation was primarily driven by lower employee commissions related to mortgage banking production and lower employee incentives. The decrease in the other expense was primarily due to a declinelower reserve for unfunded loan commitments. These decreases were partially offset by increases in employee benefits of $22.62$3.14 million in merger-related expenses. Partially offsetting this decrease was anand FDIC insurance expense of $1.34 million. The increase in OREO expense of $2.19 millionemployee benefits was due to declinesa combination of higher Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) and postretirement plans’ expense. The increase in the fair value of OREO properties.FDIC insurance expense was primarily due to a higher assessment rate.
Income Taxes

The increase of $4.35 million was mainlyprimarily due to higher earnings and a higher effective tax rate as the result of a reduction in the income tax expense for the third quarter of 2016 due to an increase in United’s deferred tax rate. For the first nine months of 2017, income tax expense was $67.36 million as compared to $53.10 million for the first nine months of 2016 due to higher earnings and a higher effective tax rate. On a linked-quarter basis, income tax expense increased $8.53decreased $2.16 million primarily due to higherlower earnings partially offset by a decline in theand lower effective tax rate due to the Cardinal acquisition.rate.

Liquidity and 2016, United’s effective tax rate was 33.68% and 32.97%, respectively. For further details related to income taxes, see Note 15 of the unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this document.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Contingent Liabilities andOff-Balance Sheet Arrangements
United has various financial obligations, including contractual obligations and commitments, that may require future cash payments. Please refer to United’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for disclosures with respect to United’s fixed and determinable contractual obligations. As previously mentioned, United completed its acquisition of Cardinal during the second quarter of 2017. As such, United assumed the financial obligations of Cardinal, including contractual obligations and commitments, which also may require future payments. Otherwise, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business sinceyear-end 2016 in the specified contractual obligations disclosed in United’s Annual Report on Form10-K.
As of September 30, 2017, United recorded a liability for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, of $2.41 million in accordance with ASC topic 740. This liability represents an estimate of tax positions that United has
taken in its tax returns which may ultimately not be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Since the ultimate amount and timing of any future cash settlements cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty, this estimated liability is excluded from the contractual obligations table in the 2016 Form10-K report.
United also enters into derivative contracts, mainly to protect against adverse interest rate movements on the value of certain assets or liabilities, under which it is required to either pay cash to or receive cash from counterparties depending on changes in interest rates. Derivative contracts are carried at fair value and not notional value on the consolidated balance sheet. Because the derivative contracts recorded on the balance sheet at September 30, 2017 do not present the amounts that may ultimately be paid under these contracts, they are excluded from the contractual obligations table in the 2016 Form10-K report. Further discussion of derivative instruments is presented in Note 11 to the unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
United is a party to financial instruments withoff-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments and standby letters of credit. United’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for the loan commitments and standby letters of credit is the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. United uses the same policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does foron-balance sheet instruments. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Further discussion ofoff-balance sheet commitments is included in Note 10 to the unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
LiquidityCapital Resources
In the opinion of management, United maintains liquidity that is sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and the credit needs of its customers. Like all banks, United depends upon its ability to renew maturing deposits and other liabilities on a daily basis and to acquire new funds in a variety of markets. A significant source of funds available to United is “core deposits”. Core deposits include certain demand deposits, statement and special savings and NOW accounts. These deposits
73
are relatively stable, and they are the lowest cost source of funds available to United. Short-term borrowings have also been a significant source of funds. These include federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase as well as advances from the FHLB. Repurchase agreements represent funds which are obtained as the result of a competitive bidding process.
Liquid assets are cash and those items readily convertible to cash. All banks must maintain sufficient balances of cash and near-cash items to meet theday-to-day demands of customers and United’s cash needs. Other than cash and due from banks, the available for sale securities portfolio and maturing loans are the primary sources of liquidity.
The goal of liquidity management is to ensure the ability to access funding which enables United to efficiently satisfy the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers and meet United’s cash needs. Liquidity is managed by monitoring funds’ availability from a number of primary sources. Substantial funding is available from cash and cash equivalents, unused short-term borrowing and a geographically dispersed network of branches providing access to a diversified and substantial retail deposit market.
Short-term needs can be met through a wide array of outside sources such as correspondent and downstream correspondent federal funds and utilization of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.(“FHLB”) advances and the Federal Reserve Bank’s (“FRB”) Discount Window or its newly established Bank Term Funding program during the first quarter of 2023.
Other sources of liquidity available to United to provide long-term as well as short-term funding alternatives, in addition to FHLB advances and FRB programs, are long-term certificates of deposit, lines of credit, borrowings that are secured by bank premises or stock of United’s subsidiaries and issuances of trust preferred securities. In the normal course of business, United through its Asset Liability Committee evaluates these as well as other alternative funding strategies that may be utilized to meet short-term and long-term funding needs.
During the first quarter of 2023, United increased its interest-bearing deposit balance at the FRB by $725.06 million to $1.53 billion. The change in the balance at the FRB was mostly the result of a $599.93 million increase in FHLB advances and $178.31 million of net sales, maturities, and paydowns in the available for sale debt securities portfolio, partly offset by a $18.58 million decrease in total deposits.
For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, cash of $125.15$118.15 million was provided by operating activities due mainly to net income of $132.61 million for the first nine months of 2017.$98.31 million. In addition, accrued expenses and other liabilities increased $14.85 million. Net cash of $384.45$91.43 million was provided by investing activities which was primarily due to $147.08 million of net repayments on loansproceeds from the sales of $369.23 million andinvestment securities over purchases partially offset by portfolio loan growth of $54.94 million. During the first three months of 2023, net cash of $44.53 million provided in the acquisition of Cardinal. During the first nine months of 2017, net cash of $197.09$532.45 million was used inprovided by financing activities due primarily to net advances of $600.00 million in FHLB borrowings partially offset by cash dividends paid of $48.65 million, a decline in deposits of $269.74 million, net repayment of long-term borrowings of $30.21$18.23 million and cash paid of $10.25 million to redeem subordinated debt during the payment of cash dividends in the amount of $86.71 million. Partially offsetting these decreases to cash were net proceeds of $200.00 million in short-term FHLB borrowings.quarter. The net effect of the cash flow activities was an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $312.51$742.04 million for the first ninethree months of 2017.2023.
At March 31, 2023, United had an unused borrowing amount at the FHLB of approximately $5.82 billion subject to delivery of collateral after certain trigger points, $2.20 billion without the delivery of additional collateral. United has various unused lines of credit available from certain of its correspondent banks in the aggregate amount of $230 million, all of which was available at March 31, 2023. United also has a $20 million unsecured, revolving line of credit with an unrelated financial institution to provide for general liquidity needs, all of which was available at March 31, 2023. At March 31, 2023, United’s borrowing capacity for the FRB Discount Window was $2.84 billion. United did not have any borrowings from the FRB’s Discount Window, or its new Bank Term Funding Program, during the first quarter of 2023.
United anticipates it can meet its obligations over the next 12 months and has no material commitments for capital expenditures. There are no known trends, demands, commitments, or events that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in United’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. United also has lines of credit available. See Notes 89 and 910 to the accompanying unaudited Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more details regarding the amounts available to United under lines of credit.

The Asset Liability Committee monitors liquidity to ascertain that a liquidity position within certain prescribed parameters is maintained. No changes are anticipated in the policies of United’s Asset Liability Committee.
Capital Resources
United’s capital position is financially sound. United seeks to maintain a proper relationship between capital and total assets to support growth and sustain earnings. United has historically generated attractive returns on shareholders’ equity. United is well-capitalized based upon regulatory guidelines. United’s risk-based capital ratio is 14.26%14.70% at September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 while its Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital and leverage ratios are 11.99%12.53%, 11.99%12.53% and 10.09%10.78%, respectively. The March 31, 2023 ratios reflects United’s election of a five-year transition provision, allowed by the Federal Reserve Board and other federal banking agencies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, to delay for two years the full impact of CECL on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period. The regulatory requirements for a well-capitalized financial institution are a risk-based capital ratio of 10.0%, a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.0% and a leverage ratio of 5.0%.
Total shareholders’ equity was $3.26$4.61 billion at September 30, 2017, increasing $1.03 billionMarch 31, 2023, which was an increase of $90.34 million or 45.98%2.00% from December 31, 20162022. This increase is primarily due to increases of $49.59 million in retained earnings (net income less dividends declared) and $38.60 million in accumulated other comprehensive income due mainly to an after-tax increase in the Cardinal acquisition. fair value of available for sale securities.
United’s equity to assets ratio was 17.06%15.26% at September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 as compared to 15.41%15.31% at December 31, 2016.2022. The primary capital ratio, capital and reserves to total assets and reserves, was 17.39%16.07% at September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 as compared to 15.84%16.11% at December 31, 2016.2022. United’s average equity to average asset ratio was 17.25%15.49% for the thirdfirst quarter of 20172023 as compared to 14.38%16.22% the thirdfirst quarter of 2016. United’s average equity to average asset ratio was 16.58% for the first nine months of 2017 as compared to 14.24% for the first half of 2016.2022. All of these financial measurements reflect a financially sound position.
During the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2023, United’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.33$0.36 per share. Cash dividends were $0.99 per common share for the first nine months of 2017. Total cash dividends declared were $34.64 million for the third quarter of 2017 and $96.04$48.72 million for the first nine monthsquarter of 2017 as compared to $25.222023 which was a decrease of $546 thousand or 1.11% from dividends declared of $49.27 million and $73.38 million, respectively, for the thirdfirst quarter and first nine months of 2016.2022.
Item 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The objective of United’s Asset Liability Management function is to maintain consistent growth in net interest income within United’s policy guidelines. This objective is accomplished through the management of balance sheet liquidity and interest rate risk exposures due to changes in economic conditions, interest rate levels and customer preferences.
Interest Rate Risk
Management considers interest rate risk to be United’s most significant market risk. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in United’s net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. United’s earnings are largely dependent on the effective management of interest rate risk.
Management of interest rate risk focuses on maintaining consistent growth in net interest income within Board-approved policy limits. United’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (ALCO)(“ALCO”), which includes senior management representatives and reports to the Board of Directors, monitors and manages interest rate risk to maintain an acceptable level of change to net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. Policy established for interest rate risk is stated in terms of the change in net interest income over aone-year andtwo-year horizon given an immediate and sustained increase or decrease in interest rates. The current limits approved by the Board of Directors are structured on a staged basis with each stage requiring specific actions.
United employs a variety of measurement techniques to identify and manage its exposure to changing interest rates. One such technique utilizes an earnings simulation model to analyze the sensitivity of net interest income to movements in interest rates. The model is based on actual cash flows and repricing characteristics for on andoff-balance sheet instruments and incorporates market-based assumptions regarding the impact of changing interest rates on the prepayment rate of certain
75
assets and liabilities. The model also includes executive management projections for activity levels in product lines offered by United. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in interest rates are also incorporated into the model. Rate scenarios could involve parallel or nonparallel shifts in the yield curve, depending on historical, current, and expected conditions, as well as the need to capture any material effects of explicit or embedded options. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management’s strategies.
Interest sensitive assets and liabilities are defined as those assets or liabilities that mature or are repriced within a designated time frame. The principal function of managing interest rate risk is to maintain an appropriate relationship between those assets and liabilities that are sensitive to changing market interest rates. The difference between rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities for specified periods of time is known as the “GAP.” Earnings-simulation analysis captures not only the potential of these interest sensitive assets and liabilities to mature or reprice, but also the probability that they will do so. Moreover, earnings-simulation analysis considers the relative sensitivities of these balance sheet items and projects their behavior over an extended period of time. United closely monitors the sensitivity of its assets and liabilities on anon-going basis and projects the effect of various interest rate changes on its net interest margin.
The following table shows United’s estimated earnings sensitivity profile as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016:2022:
Change in Interest Rates (basis points) | Percentage Change in Net Interest Income | Percentage Change in Net Interest Income | ||||||||||

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, given an immediate, sustained 100 basis point upward shock to the yield curve used in the simulation model, net interest income for United is estimated to decrease by 0.02%2.84% over one year as compared to a decrease of 1.05%by 3.00% at December 31, 2016.2022. A 200 basis point immediate, sustained upward shock in the yield curve would decrease net interest income by an estimated 0.22%6.71% over one year as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, as compared to a decrease of 2.05%6.83% as of December 31, 2016.2022. A 100 basis point immediate, sustained downward shock in the yield curve would increase net interest income by an estimated 0.22%1.52% over one year as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 as compared to an increase of 1.87%2.12%, over one year as of December 31, 2016. With the federal funds rate at 1.25% at September 30, 2017 and 0.75% at December 31, 2016, management believed a2022. A 200 basis point immediate, sustained declinedownward shock in rates was highly unlikely.
In addition to the one year earnings sensitivity analysis, atwo-year analysis is also performed. Compared to the one year analysis, United is projected to show improved performance in year two within the upward rate shock scenarios. Given an immediate, sustained 100 basis point upward shock to the yield curve used in the simulation model, net interest income for United is estimated to increase by 2.58%0.55% in year two as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2023. A 200 basis point immediate, sustained upward shock in the yield curve would increasedecrease net interest income by an estimated 4.80%0.19% in year two as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2023. A 100 basis point immediate, sustained downward shock in the yield curve would decrease net interest income by an estimated 1.95%2.34% in year two as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2023. A 200 basis point immediate, sustained downward shock in the yield curve would decrease net interest income by an estimated 8.65% in year two as of March 31, 2023.
This analysis does not include the potential increased refinancing activities, which should lessen the negative impact on net income from falling rates. While it is unlikely market rates would immediately move 100 or 200 basis points upward or downward on a sustained basis, this is another tool used by management and the Board of Directors to gauge interest rate risk. All of these estimated changes in net interest income are and were within the policy guidelines established by the Board of Directors.

To further aid in interest rate management, United’s subsidiary banks are membersbank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)(“FHLB”). The use of FHLB advances provides United with a low risk means of matching maturities of earning assets and interest-bearing funds to achieve a desired interest rate spread over the life of the earning assets. In addition, United uses credit with large regional banks and trust preferred securities to provide funding.
As part of its interest rate risk management strategy, United may use derivative instruments to protect against adverse price or interest rate movements on the value of certain assets or liabilities and on future cash flows. These derivatives commonly consist of interest rate swaps, caps, floors, collars, futures, forward contracts, written and purchased options. Interest rate swaps obligate two parties to exchange one or more payments generally calculated with reference to a fixed or variable rate of interest applied to the notional amount. United accounts for its derivative activities in accordance with the provisions of ASC topicTopic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”
Extension Risk
A key feature of most mortgage loans is the ability of the borrower to repay principal earlier than scheduled. This is called a prepayment. Prepayments arise primarily due to sale of the underlying property, refinancing, or foreclosure. In general, declining interest rates tend to increase prepayments, and rising interest rates tend to slow prepayments. Like other fixed-income securities, when interest rates rise, the value of mortgage- related securities generally declines. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of mortgage-related securities and may shorten or extend the effective maturity of the security beyond what was anticipated at the time of purchase. If interest rates rise, United’s holdings of mortgage-related securities may experience reduced returns if the borrowers of the underlying mortgages pay off their mortgages later than anticipated. This is generally referred to as extension risk.
At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, United’s mortgage related securities portfolio had an amortized cost of $1.1$2.1 billion, of which approximately $664$907.1 million or 58%44% were fixed rate collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs)(“CMOs”). These fixed rate CMOs consisted primarily of planned amortization class (PACs),sequential-pay and accretion directed (VADMs)(“VADMs”) bonds having an average life of approximately 3.95.6 years and a weighted average yield of 2.51%2.13%, under current projected prepayment assumptions. These securities are expected to have very littlemoderate extension risk in a rising rate environment. Current models show that an immediate, sustained upward shock of 300 basis points, the average life of these securities would only extend to 4.66.6 years. The projected price decline of the fixed rate CMO portfolio in rates up 300 basis points would be 11.3%15.5%, or less than the price decline of a5- year7-year treasury note. By comparison, the price decline of a30-year 5% current coupon mortgage backed security (MBS) given an immediate, sustained upward shock of(“MBS”) in rates higher by 300 basis points would be approximately 16.9%14.2%.

Item 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of and with the participation of United’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)(“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO)(“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of United’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, United’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that United’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the Quarterly Report on Form10-Q was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period required by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
United’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that United’s disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and fraud. While United’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objective, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in United’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, or in other factors that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect United’s internal control over financial reporting.
