Uwharrie Capital (UWHR) 8-KResults of Operations and Financial Condition

Exhibit 99.1

August 19, 2024

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to report on the continued growth and development of Uwharrie Capital Corp and its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2024, our total assets reached $1.1 billion, reflecting an 8.6% growth from June 30, 2023. Our total annualized return on equity improved to 17.6% as of June 30, 2024, up from 16.9% the previous year. Net income available to common shareholders for the six months ending June 30, 2024, was $4.3 million or $0.61 per share, a $419,000 increase over the $3.9 million or $0.54 per share reported for the same period in 2023.

Loan demand remains strong across all sectors of our lending portfolio and markets. Loans grew nearly 20% from June 30, 2023, to June 30, 2024, increasing our loan-to-deposit ratio to 62.5%. This growth has been achieved without compromising our credit standards; our underwriting and lending policies remain as thorough as ever. Our asset quality strength is evident in our low levels of past dues and non-accrual loans.

We continue to grow our core deposit base, allowing us to maintain our cost of funds expense and improve our net interest margin as a percentage of average assets to 3.40%. This is particularly notable as many of our peers are experiencing flat or declining net interest margins. Net interest margin remains the largest contributor to our net income. Other non-interest income sources, such as card services and wealth management, also continue to grow and diversify our earnings base.

New endeavors for our company include relocating our Mount Pleasant branch (Cabarrus County) to a more visible and accessible spot on Hwy 73. The new location, in the heart of Mount Pleasant, promises greater convenience for our customers. While we finalize the plans, we invite you to stay tuned for updates on our innovative, non-traditional branch design.

We are also excited to announce our partnership with Greenlight. This alliance allows us to offer a Uwharrie Bank-branded Greenlight app with a Greenlight Debit Card to families at no cost. Greenlight is a comprehensive money app for families, enabling kids to earn money through chores, set savings goals, and spend wisely. Parents have flexible control over limits and spending locations, receiving real-time notifications of their children's transactions. The app also includes features for setting up different ways for children to earn money, such as completing chores or engaging in gamified learning activities that teach age-appropriate financial lessons. We believe this partnership aligns perfectly with our core values of promoting financial literacy and introduces us to a new generation of customers. To learn more or to sign up for your family, please visit www.Uwharrie.com/Greenlight.

We are halfway through our 40th anniversary celebrations and have enjoyed celebrating our past and building on our future. We invite you to join us at your local branch and follow our journey on social media. We encourage you to keep referring your family and friends to join us as customers and shareholders. Together, we can build upon our 40 years of success and continue to thrive in the future. Your support is invaluable to us as we stay dedicated to making a meaningful impact—delivering a strong return on your investment while enhancing your communities.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Sincerely,

UWHARRIE CAPITAL CORP
