November 17, 2023
Dear Shareholder:
As we complete the third quarter of 2023, we are pleased to present you with an update that underscores the strength and stability of our financial position. Your Company has continued to grow in assets and deepen its community ties, reflecting our collective commitment to a prosperous future for all stakeholders.
Over the past year, from September 30, 2022, to September 30, 2023, our assets have increased from $1.04 billion to $1.07 billion. During this period, our loan portfolio has increased by $102 million, which translates to a robust 21% year-over-year growth. This growth has been achieved while steadfastly upholding our strong credit standards. We have not wavered in our commitment to responsible lending, ensuring that the quality of our loan portfolio remains of the highest order.
Our Bank's capital ratios reflect our strong financial foundation, with a Total Risk Based Capital ratio of 14.23%. This solid capital base positions us well above the regulatory requirements and is indicative of our prudent financial management and forward-looking strategy.
The net income for the first nine months of 2023 is reported at $6.3 million, an increase from the $5.3 million recorded at the same time last year. This equates to $5.9 million in net income available to common shareholders, or $0.82 per share, compared to $4.9 million in net income available to common shareholders, or $0.67 per share, that we reported in 2022 for the same period. This growth in earnings is a clear demonstration of our operational excellence and the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives.
In recognition of our solid performance, the Board of Directors has declared a 2% stock dividend. All shareholders of record on November 7, 2023, will receive the dividend on November 21, 2023. The stock dividend will be paid electronically via book-entry (no stock certificates will be issued). Consistent with prior years, we chose to pay a stock dividend as opposed to cash to provide our shareholders with options to suit their specific financial needs. Shareholders in peak earning years may choose to hold the dividend shares, which defers income, and paying taxes in later years could be at a lower capital gains rate. For our shareholders desiring current income, these new shares can be sold for cash. The stock dividend gives you the flexibility of when to recognize the income and address the tax considerations based on your individual needs.
We move forward with the determination to sustain this momentum, balancing growth with stability and always with an eye on serving the best interests of our communities and stakeholders.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. Best wishes to you and your families as we head into the holiday season.
Sincerely,
UWHARRIE CAPITAL CORP

President and Chief Executive Officer
