Exhibit 99.1
November 8, 2024
Dear Shareholder:
In 2024, we are proudly celebrating our 40th year of operation. Throughout our history, we have likened our organization's growth and development to that of an individual. From navigating the "terrible twos" and the volatile teenage years, through the challenges of young adulthood, we have now reached a stage of maturity at 40. Our financial results this year reflect this organizational maturity, as we experience one of the best growth and performance periods in our history.
As of September 30, 2024, our assets have grown to $1.2 billion, an increase of $111 million, representing a 10% growth compared to the same period in 2023. Our loan portfolio expanded by $68 million, funded with core deposit growth of $88 million compared to September 30, 2023. Net income for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2024 rose to $7.6 million, up from $6.3 million for the same nine-month period in 2023. This performance reflects a return on equity (ROE) of 17%, underscoring the strength and maturity of our institution.
While these financial metrics are impressive, our true measure of success lies in the number of families and businesses we have helped to grow and thrive. Our longstanding commitment to making a difference is evident in the new homes and jobs we have helped create, driving positive change on the main streets of the communities we serve.
We remain steadfast in our founding mission to prioritize service to our customers and communities over the bottom line, believing that great organizations achieve success through a focus on values. It is this commitment to our core principles that continues to yield strong financial results.
In recognition of our performance, the Board of Directors has declared a 2% stock dividend. Shareholders of record as of October 28, 2024, will receive the dividend on November 18, 2024. The dividend will be distributed electronically via book-entry (no stock certificates will be issued). As in prior years, this stock dividend provides flexibility: shareholders may retain the shares to potentially defer income recognition or sell them to meet current financial needs.
We look to the future with optimism, committed to sustaining our momentum by balancing growth with stability while serving the best interests of our communities and stakeholders.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. Wishing you and your families a joyous holiday season.
Sincerely,
UWHARRIE CAPITAL CORP
/s/ Roger L. Dick
President and Chief Executive Officer
