Univest Financial Corporation Reports Q3 2026 Earnings Impacted by Commercial Credit Charge-offs
Univest Financial Corporation (UVSP) reported third-quarter earnings characterized by a decline in net income to $21.6 million, down from $25.6 million in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by elevated credit provisions and a significant $14.4 million charge-off related to a single commercial lending relationship. Despite these headwinds, the company saw a 10.5% increase in net interest income due to higher loan balances and reduced funding costs. On the balance sheet, total deposits grew 6.1% from the previous quarter, bolstered by seasonal increases in public funds and commercial deposits. While credit events impacted short-term profitability, management highlighted improvements in the efficiency ratio and a strategic shift toward an originate-and-sell model for residential mortgages to manage loan growth.
