First United Corporation Reports Q2 2026 Earnings
First United Corporation posted a second-quarter net income of $5.7 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, as the bank holding company absorbed a one-time consulting expense of $2.2 million tied to core processing contract negotiations.
Operational highlights included a 3.98% net interest margin on a non-GAAP, fully tax-equivalent basis, bolstered by rising loan yields and reduced funding costs. The bank reported robust activity in its lending pipeline, with $66.0 million in commercial loan originations and $33.9 million in residential mortgages. While operating expenses rose by $2.1 million compared to the previous quarter due to the consulting investment, management noted that these initiatives are intended to improve long-term operational efficiency. The board declared a cash dividend of $0.26 per share for the period.
