Select guidance is being provided for 2025. Our outlook may change if the expectations for these items vary from current expectations. Balance Sheet: Expect loan and deposit growth to be in the low to mid single digits for the remainder of 2025 (annualized). Loan pipelines continue to be relatively strong. Expect investment portfolio balances to be relatively flat (market dependent). Net Interest Income: Net interest income (non-FTE) expected to be in the range of $1.093 billion to $1.100 billion for FY 2025 (assumes two additional 25 bps rate cuts in 4Q25). Loan purchase accounting accretion is currently estimated at ~$32 million for FY 2025. Provision Expense: Asset quality remains sound. Provision expense will be dependent on the future economic outlook, future credit trends within United’s portfolio, and loan growth. Expect our credit performance to outperform the industry. Current planning assumption for total provision expense for 2025 is $55 million (including Day 2 merger-related CECL provision expense of $19 million that was recorded in 1Q25). Non Interest Income: Expect non interest income to be in the range of $130 million to $135 million for 2025. Mortgage banking revenue will be subject to industry trends. Non Interest Expense: Expect non interest expense to be in the range of $598 million to $605 million for 2025 (including merger-related expenses of $12.7 million recorded to date in 2025). Effective Tax Rate: Estimated at approximately ~21.0%. Capital: Stock buyback will be market dependent. United’s capital position remains robust. 2025 OUTLOOK
