•  Diversifying our business and continuing to grow over time across the bank and our non-

banking operations organically, and supplemented by strategic acquisitions, is what will ensure 
long term success for Univest. In 2015, we grew the bank both organically and through the 
strategic acquisition of Valley Green Bank.  During the fourth quarter, we announced a definitive 
merger agreement to acquire Fox Chase Bancorp. The deal is anticipated to close during the 
third quarter of 2016. In order to position the bank for continued success as we grow the size 
and scope of our franchise, we expanded our bank leadership team during the fourth quarter of 
2015 with the following appointments:

o  Philip C. Jackson, President of the Northern Division of Commercial Banking, 
which is defined as Bucks and Montgomery counties and the Lehigh Valley. 

o  Jay R. Goldstein, President of the Southern Division of Commercial Banking, 

which is defined as Chester, Delaware and Philadelphia counties. 

o  Louis P. Spinelli, President of Consumer Banking, assumed responsibility for the 

Valley Green Bank Division financial centers in addition to Univest’s 26 other financial 
centers he was already leading. 

o  Hugh W. Connelly, President of Small Business Lending for Univest Bank and Trust Co., 

in addition to continuing as president of Univest Capital, Inc. 

•  While the acquisitions completed and anticipated have and will continue to increase our core 
banking revenue, we remain focused on growing our non-banking revenue at an accelerated 
pace. We remain committed to our goal of having 60% of our revenue and earnings coming from 
core banking and 40% coming from our other financial operations.

Integration Highlights

Diversifying our revenue and earnings streams and expanding in areas that complement our traditional 
banking roots and business model have proven successful to Univest in both good and challenging 
economic times. 

2015 was the first year since 2011 that Univest did not grow its non-banking business through 
acquisition. While largely fueled by momentum generated from acquisitions over the last few years, our 
growth in our non-banking lines of business in 2015 was 100% attributed to organic growth. 

Here are several highlights of our 2015 integrated successes:

• Our diversified businesses contributed $14.9 million in pre-tax income, representing over 40% of

our total pre-tax income.

• Univest Insurance continued to benefit from the acquisitions of John T. Fretz Insurance Agency

and Sterner Insurance Associates, which were completed in 2013 and 2014 respectively. These two
agencies continue to outperform expectations. Combined with the efforts of our existing team, we
realized record results with respect to new business sales.

• In addition to continuing to grow our equipment finance
outstandings, Univest Capital adopted a new, innovative
platform through nCino in 2015 to not only help streamline
sales execution and processing for the small ticket financing
subsidiary, but also to gain efficiencies for our small business
lending program.

• Since we started our Mortgage Banking business in 2008, it has
contributed significant revenue as a result of strong refinancing
activity through 2013 and a resurgence in new home purchases
in 2014 and 2015. The housing market rebounded even
more in 2015, fueling an increase in new mortgage volume.
Our expansion into Philadelphia also brought widespread
opportunities for our home loans division.

• Despite being negatively impacted by market performance,

financial advisors in our Wealth Management businesses achieved
strong organic growth coupled with increased referral activity
from strategic partners.

• To improve efficiency and the customer experience within

our Wealth Management businesses, we announced an internal
restructuring to combine the Univest and Girard advisory teams.
Simultaneously, we made the decision to retain the powerful
Girard name as a sub-brand of Univest and introduced a new
logo to align with Univest’s overall brand.

• To elevate awareness of our investment advisory capabilities,

Univest launched a robust public relations campaign in October
2015. Our experienced wealth advisors have provided insights
to several local and national media outlets. We are proud of
our growing brand and reputation for being a premier wealth
management firm in the greater Philadelphia region.

• We remain committed to growing the business in the local
communities that surround our headquarters as well as by
growing our presence in our expansion markets in southeastern
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and across the United States.  As a
result of our diversified business model and convenient online
solutions, Univest has clients in all 50 states.

To our family of Shareholders, Customers and Employees

We are pleased to once again share a report which highlights a successful 2015 and our ability 
to build the business for long-term success in a year of continued change and volatility for the 
economy, our marketplace and the financial industry. Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania 
reported net income of $27.3 million for the year, a 23% increase from $22.2 million in 
2014. Our diversified earnings and disciplined business approach led to another year of solid 
performance. We were pleased to continue sharing our success through consistent dividends for 
our loyal shareholders.  

We completed the strategic acquisition of Valley Green Bank on January 1, 2015. This 
acquisition expanded our service area to the growing Philadelphia marketplace and brought 
organic growth opportunities for our non-banking operations. During the fourth quarter, 
we announced our definitive merger agreement to acquire Fox Chase Bancorp, Inc., parent 
company of Fox Chase Bank which had approximately $1.1 billion in total assets, $768 million 
in loans and $765 million in deposits at December 31, 2015. The acquisition of Fox Chase will make Univest the ninth largest 
bank headquartered in Pennsylvania and the largest locally headquartered bank in the Bucks, Montgomery and Philadelphia 
region by deposit market share.  

Jeffrey M. Schweitzer, William S. Aichele

Our growth was a result of acquisitions, organic growth and the accomplishment of key strategic initiatives. During the year, our 
success was achieved because of efficiencies gained and new opportunities realized from the rollout of our branch optimization 
plan which included the consolidation of six offices and opening two financial centers featuring a new, modern branch model. 
We organically grew our non-banking operations, upheld our reputation in our core communities and further built brand equity 
in our expansion markets, invested in improved customer experiences and acquired and retained top talent to strengthen the 
capabilities of our workforce.  

In June, H. Paul Lewis retired from the Board of Directors after seven years of service. His loyalty and strategic contributions 
helped Univest grow, specifically in the lower Bucks County community. We recognize and thank Paul for his leadership and 
service to Univest and the community. We also had the privilege, in June, to welcome Glenn E. Moyer, former Secretary of 
Banking and Securities for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as a Director and Charles H. Zimmerman, Department Chair 
for the Philadelphia Biblical Theological Seminary and Teaching Pastor for Calvary Church of Souderton, as an Alternate 
Director to the Board. 

In October, we promoted our Chief Financial Officer, Michael S. Keim, to President of Univest Bank and Trust Co. and 
expanded the bank leadership team to strengthen our focus on organic growth across Univest’s widening marketplace. 
Disruption in the marketplace created by big banks acquiring smaller community banks will no doubt bring Univest significant 
opportunities in 2016 to gain market share and leverage our 140 years of solid performance and local commitment. We are 
confident that the changes made in 2015 have put us in a strong position to build the business in the years ahead.

Our success and commitment to the communities we serve goes well beyond our financial performance and diverse financial 
offerings. In 2015, we continued our philanthropic tradition and increased awareness of our “Committed to Local” giving 
program. As a company, we gave back more than $1.5 million to local, nonprofit organizations and our employees volunteered 
more than 17,600 hours of their time. 

As you review the 2015 Annual Report, we trust you will be pleased with our accomplishments and plans for continued growth 
and stability. We are well-positioned to seize opportunities, strengthen our franchise and enhance shareholder value. On behalf 
of the entire Univest family, thank you for your support and investment.

2015 Highlights

2015 was a year of successful growth and significant change as we worked to integrate the people, systems and cultures 
of three acquisitions – completed from January 2014 to January 2015 – into the Univest family. These included: 
Girard Partners, Ltd. (completed January 1, 2014 and now operating as a Univest Wealth Management Firm), Sterner 
Insurance Associates (completed July 1, 2014 and now operating under Univest Insurance, Inc.) and Valley Green 
Bank (completed January 1, 2015 and operating as a Division of Univest Bank and Trust Co.). The significant growth 
through acquisition coupled with market disruption created a perfect storm of opportunity for Univest. 

As a result, we focused much of 2015 on building relationships, investing in the business to improve systems and 
convenience solutions, ensuring the safety of our customers and ultimately positioning Univest as the local financial 
solutions partner of choice. Whether it was through marketing and communications campaigns, enhanced customer 
experiences, new products and technology advances or other one-on-one efforts to build relationships, we remained 
focused on evolving the business so we can remain relevant and serve our customers today, tomorrow and well into 
the future.    

We are pleased with all of our achievements, most of which were made possible by the earnest work of more than 700 
employees. Together we achieved the following accomplishments: 

•  Revenue increased 21% over 2014. 

•  Earnings per share increased more than 7% over 2014 after adjusting both 2015 and 2014 net income for 

integration and acquisition-related and restructuring charges, as applicable.

•  Our loan portfolio increased $552 million from December 2014 as borrowing demand increased steadily in 
conjunction with improvements in the local economy. In addition to the $381 million in loans acquired as a 
result of the Valley Green Bank acquisition, we experienced strong organic loan growth of 11%.

•  We continued to improve our asset quality with non-accrual loans down $3.2 million from December 2014 

to $14.2 million at December 31, 2015.

•  Deposits increased $533 million from December 2014 due to the acquisition of Valley Green Bank combined 

with 8% organic growth. 

•  We raised $50 million in capital through the issuance of subordinated debt to enhance our regulatory capital 

and support the growth occurring at Univest both organically and through acquisition.

•  The first of Univest’s newly designed financial centers was opened in Newtown, Bucks County during the 

first quarter of 2015. This facility features an improved customer experience that delivers highly personalized 
service in a digitally engaging, contemporary environment. In the fall, we opened a second financial center 
in Collegeville, Montgomery County. The new model has been well-received and is strengthening Univest’s 
positive image as a progressive financial solutions provider.

construction for a new main entrance to enhance handicap accessibility and improve security. The new lobby features 
historical photographs depicting our growth as well as the growth of Souderton, the hometown of our headquarters 
since 1876. Other office renovations occurred at Univest Plaza and at one of our Chester County locations. 

•  We also implemented positive change in other areas of the company, introduced new systems and refined 
processes to maximize efficiency and reduce costs. Most notably, we converted former Valley Green Bank 
customers to the Univest core banking platform in April and implemented a new deposit platform with enhanced 
workflow which will generate efficiencies and improve the customer experience.

•  Our marketing strategy continued to evolve as demand for digital and mobile content increased among 

consumers online. By complementing traditional mass advertising channels with digital, social and online 
advertising we’ve further built our company brand, optimized our targeting capabilities, improved campaign 
success and increased lead generation across our integrated platform of solutions.

Spruce Street Harbor Park 
Community Partnership

•  Strategic brand partnerships also helped build awareness 
for Univest throughout the year in many of our markets. 
We continued partnerships with WFMZ, PBS39 and the 
Iron Pigs in the Lehigh Valley; WNPV and Suburban 
One Sports in Bucks and Montgomery counties, 
and two new significant partnerships in our southern 
region. In Chester County we partnered with Uptown 
Entertainment Alliance to bring West Chester Borough 
its first downtown theater in the historic Pennsylvania 
National Guard Armory. Our sponsorship of the 
Delaware River Waterfront Corporation’s Spruce Street 
Harbor Park, a true summer oasis for the community and 
a tourist destination, brought significant visibility to the 
Univest brand in Philadelphia. 

•  In a commodity business, it is critical to continue to innovate with products that differentiate one financial 

provider from another. After a nine-month beta program, Univest launched Univest PrimeSM which offers Univest 
small business clients bundled services for one monthly subscription fee. Univest also introduced Perks@Work to 
our business customers as a gateway to deliver consultative services, educational seminars and financial savings to 
their employees.

•  Univest continued to enhance its social media presence by consistently working to strengthen social connections 
through our blog – My Univest, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn. Successfully building our social 
network and engaging individuals in our content led to Univest being recognized for the second consecutive year 
by the Independent Community Bankers Association. In 2015, Univest was awarded the #2 spot among the top 
50 community bank leaders in social media.

•  Expenses related to risk management and technology continued to increase across the industry as a result of 
rising fraud and cyber security. We recognize that the weakest link in cyber security is the human factor. As a 
result, we implemented additional training for employees and customers in an attempt to mitigate these risks 
through proactive education. In addition, we continued to invest in hardware and software solutions that monitor 
for threats to the Univest network so they can be neutralized before serious damage can occur.  Mid-year, we 
implemented a secure email solution to protect our customers’ information and a more secure remote access 
process for employees.  

•  Improving experiences for our biggest asset – our employees – remains a top priority. Happy, satisfied employees 
help deliver superior experiences to our customers. In 2015, Univest enhanced its employee Wellness Program 
and our efforts were recognized by the American Heart Association. Univest was honored as a Gold Level 
Fit Friendly Worksite for our commitment to promoting a wellness culture, promoting physical activity and 
supporting healthy eating options.

Integration Highlights

Diversifying our revenue and earnings streams and expanding in areas that complement our traditional 
banking roots and business model have proven successful to Univest in both good and challenging 
economic times. 

2015 was the first year since 2011 that Univest did not grow its non-banking business through 
acquisition. While largely fueled by momentum generated from acquisitions over the last few years, our 
growth in our non-banking lines of business in 2015 was 100% attributed to organic growth. 

Here are several highlights of our 2015 integrated successes:

•  Our diversified businesses contributed $14.9 million in pre-tax income, representing over 40% of 

our total pre-tax income. 

•  Univest Insurance continued to benefit from the acquisitions of John T. Fretz Insurance Agency 

and Sterner Insurance Associates, which were completed in 2013 and 2014 respectively. These two 
agencies continue to outperform expectations. Combined with the efforts of our existing team, we 
realized record results with respect to new business sales. 

•  In addition to continuing to grow our equipment finance 
outstandings, Univest Capital adopted a new, innovative 
platform through nCino in 2015 to not only help streamline 
sales execution and processing for the small ticket financing 
subsidiary, but also to gain efficiencies for our small business 
lending program. 

•  Since we started our Mortgage Banking business in 2008, it has 
contributed significant revenue as a result of strong refinancing 
activity through 2013 and a resurgence in new home purchases 
in 2014 and 2015. The housing market rebounded even 
more in 2015, fueling an increase in new mortgage volume. 
Our expansion into Philadelphia also brought widespread 
opportunities for our home loans division. 

•  Despite being negatively impacted by market performance, 

financial advisors in our Wealth Management businesses achieved 
strong organic growth coupled with increased referral activity 
from strategic partners. 

•  To improve efficiency and the customer experience within 

our Wealth Management businesses, we announced an internal 
restructuring to combine the Univest and Girard advisory teams. 
Simultaneously, we made the decision to retain the powerful 
Girard name as a sub-brand of Univest and introduced a new 
logo to align with Univest’s overall brand. 

•  To elevate awareness of our investment advisory capabilities, 

Univest launched a robust public relations campaign in October 
2015. Our experienced wealth advisors have provided insights 
to several local and national media outlets. We are proud of 
our growing brand and reputation for being a premier wealth 
management firm in the greater Philadelphia region. 

•  We remain committed to growing the business in the local 
communities that surround our headquarters as well as by 
growing our presence in our expansion markets in southeastern 
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and across the United States.  As a 
result of our diversified business model and convenient online 
solutions, Univest has clients in all 50 states.

To our family of Shareholders, Customers and Employees

We are pleased to once again share a report which highlights a successful 2015 and our ability 
to build the business for long-term success in a year of continued change and volatility for the 
economy, our marketplace and the financial industry. Univest Corporation of Pennsylvania 
reported net income of $27.3 million for the year, a 23% increase from $22.2 million in 
2014. Our diversified earnings and disciplined business approach led to another year of solid 
performance. We were pleased to continue sharing our success through consistent dividends for 
our loyal shareholders.  

We completed the strategic acquisition of Valley Green Bank on January 1, 2015. This 
acquisition expanded our service area to the growing Philadelphia marketplace and brought 
organic growth opportunities for our non-banking operations. During the fourth quarter, 
we announced our definitive merger agreement to acquire Fox Chase Bancorp, Inc., parent 
company of Fox Chase Bank which had approximately $1.1 billion in total assets, $768 million 
in loans and $765 million in deposits at December 31, 2015. The acquisition of Fox Chase will make Univest the ninth largest 
bank headquartered in Pennsylvania and the largest locally headquartered bank in the Bucks, Montgomery and Philadelphia 
region by deposit market share.  

Jeffrey M. Schweitzer, William S. Aichele

Our growth was a result of acquisitions, organic growth and the accomplishment of key strategic initiatives. During the year, our 
success was achieved because of efficiencies gained and new opportunities realized from the rollout of our branch optimization 
plan which included the consolidation of six offices and opening two financial centers featuring a new, modern branch model. 
We organically grew our non-banking operations, upheld our reputation in our core communities and further built brand equity 
in our expansion markets, invested in improved customer experiences and acquired and retained top talent to strengthen the 
capabilities of our workforce.  

In June, H. Paul Lewis retired from the Board of Directors after seven years of service. His loyalty and strategic contributions 
helped Univest grow, specifically in the lower Bucks County community. We recognize and thank Paul for his leadership and 
service to Univest and the community. We also had the privilege, in June, to welcome Glenn E. Moyer, former Secretary of 
Banking and Securities for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as a Director and Charles H. Zimmerman, Department Chair 
for the Philadelphia Biblical Theological Seminary and Teaching Pastor for Calvary Church of Souderton, as an Alternate 
Director to the Board. 

In October, we promoted our Chief Financial Officer, Michael S. Keim, to President of Univest Bank and Trust Co. and 
expanded the bank leadership team to strengthen our focus on organic growth across Univest’s widening marketplace. 
Disruption in the marketplace created by big banks acquiring smaller community banks will no doubt bring Univest significant 
opportunities in 2016 to gain market share and leverage our 140 years of solid performance and local commitment. We are 
confident that the changes made in 2015 have put us in a strong position to build the business in the years ahead.

Our success and commitment to the communities we serve goes well beyond our financial performance and diverse financial 
offerings. In 2015, we continued our philanthropic tradition and increased awareness of our “Committed to Local” giving 
program. As a company, we gave back more than $1.5 million to local, nonprofit organizations and our employees volunteered 
more than 17,600 hours of their time. 

As you review the 2015 Annual Report, we trust you will be pleased with our accomplishments and plans for continued growth 
and stability. We are well-positioned to seize opportunities, strengthen our franchise and enhance shareholder value. On behalf 
of the entire Univest family, thank you for your support and investment.

• Diversifying our business and continuing to grow over time across the bank and our non-

banking operations organically, and supplemented by strategic acquisitions, is what will ensure
long term success for Univest. In 2015, we grew the bank both organically and through the
strategic acquisition of Valley Green Bank.  During the fourth quarter, we announced a definitive
merger agreement to acquire Fox Chase Bancorp. The deal is anticipated to close during the
third quarter of 2016. In order to position the bank for continued success as we grow the size
and scope of our franchise, we expanded our bank leadership team during the fourth quarter of
2015 with the following appointments:

o Philip C. Jackson, President of the Northern Division of Commercial Banking,
which is defined as Bucks and Montgomery counties and the Lehigh Valley.

o Jay R. Goldstein, President of the Southern Division of Commercial Banking,

which is defined as Chester, Delaware and Philadelphia counties.

o Louis P. Spinelli, President of Consumer Banking, assumed responsibility for the

Valley Green Bank Division financial centers in addition to Univest’s 26 other financial
centers he was already leading.

o Hugh W. Connelly, President of Small Business Lending for Univest Bank and Trust Co.,

in addition to continuing as president of Univest Capital, Inc.

• While the acquisitions completed and anticipated have and will continue to increase our core
banking revenue, we remain focused on growing our non-banking revenue at an accelerated
pace. We remain committed to our goal of having 60% of our revenue and earnings coming from
core banking and 40% coming from our other financial operations.

•  Diversifying our business and continuing to grow over time across the bank and our non-

banking operations organically, and supplemented by strategic acquisitions, is what will ensure 
long term success for Univest. In 2015, we grew the bank both organically and through the 
strategic acquisition of Valley Green Bank.  During the fourth quarter, we announced a definitive 
merger agreement to acquire Fox Chase Bancorp. The deal is anticipated to close during the 
third quarter of 2016. In order to position the bank for continued success as we grow the size 
and scope of our franchise, we expanded our bank leadership team during the fourth quarter of 
2015 with the following appointments:

o  Philip C. Jackson, President of the Northern Division of Commercial Banking, 
which is defined as Bucks and Montgomery counties and the Lehigh Valley. 

o  Jay R. Goldstein, President of the Southern Division of Commercial Banking, 

which is defined as Chester, Delaware and Philadelphia counties. 

o  Louis P. Spinelli, President of Consumer Banking, assumed responsibility for the 

Valley Green Bank Division financial centers in addition to Univest’s 26 other financial 
centers he was already leading. 

o  Hugh W. Connelly, President of Small Business Lending for Univest Bank and Trust Co., 

in addition to continuing as president of Univest Capital, Inc. 

•  While the acquisitions completed and anticipated have and will continue to increase our core 
banking revenue, we remain focused on growing our non-banking revenue at an accelerated 
pace. We remain committed to our goal of having 60% of our revenue and earnings coming from 
core banking and 40% coming from our other financial operations.
