United Bancshares, Inc. Quarterly ReportJune 30, 2024 Shareholders, Clients, and Team Members:  Despite being in a historically long period of time with an inverted yield curve which has decimated net interest income at your Company and throughout our industry, your Company is reporting pre-tax income of approximately $3.9 million (11.78% return on average tangible shareholders' equity) for the six months ended June 30, 2024.  In addition to the Company's continued strong liquidity position and asset quality metrics, during the first six months, we were able to opportunistically repurchase shares, redeploy investment securities into client loans, grow deposits, and stabilize deposit costs. Those results enabled the Company to have positive net interest income momentum going into the second half of 2024 for the first time in 18 months. I am also pleased to report that the Board of Directors declared a $0.22 per common share dividend payable September 16, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 30, 2024. The dividend is approximately 36% of the reported net income for the second quarter of 2024. The efforts of the team and our strong corporate values of respect for and accountability to our shareholders, clients, colleagues, and communities are the foundation for the continued success of your Company. Thank you for your ongoing support and the trust you have placed in us. Respectfully, Brian D.
