At Unity, we remain steadfast in our commitment to our shareholders. In addition to producing best-in-class earnings, we previously announced another increase to our cash dividend payout, the fifth increase in four years. This quarter, we repurchased approximately 150,000 of our shares. While we maintain a conservative capital position, we have demonstrated a commitment to return capital to our shareholders as opportunities arise.

Our dedication also extends to our customers, communities and employees. At our core, our relationship bankers provide top-notch white-glove services, and our flexible product suite caters to our customers’ evolving needs. This ultimately fosters the continued economic development within our local communities.
