9 Q4 2022 Financial Performance At - a - Glance For non - GAAP financial measures, see reconciliation to most directly comparable GAAP measures in “Appendix – Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Disclosures” Note: all tables presented dollars in thousands, except per share amounts • Net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $67.6 million or $0.90 per share, up $12.5 million or $0.16 per share compared to the prior quarter. The results were driven by: • An increase in net interest income, primarily driven by increases in loan yields on the Company’s variable rate loans due to higher market interest rates, average loan growth and increases in investment income primarily due to increased yield on taxable securities, partially offset by higher interest expense due to higher cost of funds, • A slight decrease in noninterest expense, due to notable fourth quarter activity, including a gain related to the sale/leaseback of an office building, refunds of prior period FDIC assessment expenses, costs related to the closure of five branches expected to close in the first quarter of 2023 and other restructuring expenses, the write - down of obsolete software, increased variable incentive compensation and profit - sharing expenses, as well as professional services increases related to strategic projects, • A decrease in noninterest income, as declines in other operating income, primarily due to equity method investment income declines partially offset by increases in loan syndication, SBA 7a, and foreign exchange revenues, mortgage banking income, and BOLI income were partially offset by increases in loan - related interest rate swap fees. 4Q2022 3Q2022 Net interest income $ 163,848 $ 150,715 - Provision for credit losses 6,257 6,412 + Noninterest income 24,500 25,584 - Noninterest expense 99,790 99,923 - Taxes 11,777 11,894 Net income (GAAP) 70,524 58,070 - Dividends on preferred stock 2,967 2,967 Net income available to common shareholders (GAAP) 67,557 55,103 - Loss on sale of securities, net of tax (1) - Adjusted operating earnings available to common shareholders (non-GAAP) $ 67,558 $ 55,103 Summarized Income Statement 4Q2022 3Q2022 Net Income available to common shareholders $ 67,557 $ 55,103 Common EPS, diluted $ 0.90 $ 0.74 ROE 12.05% 9.45% ROTCE (non-GAAP) 22.92% 17.21% ROA 1.39% 1.15% Efficiency ratio 52.98% 56.68% Efficiency ratio (FTE) 51.85% 55.47% Net interest margin 3.61% 3.34% Net interest margin (FTE) 3.70% 3.43% Earnings Metrics 4Q2022 3Q2022 Adjusted operating earnings available to common shareholders $ 67,558 $ 55,103 Adjusted operating common EPS, diluted $ 0.90 $ 0.74 Adjusted operating ROA 1.39% 1.15% Adjusted operating ROTCE 22.92% 17.21% Adjusted operating efficiency ratio (FTE) 50.61% 54.09% Adjusted operating earnings PTPP $ 88,559 $ 76,376 PTPP = Pre-tax Pre-provision Adjusted Operating Earnings Metrics - non-GAAP |
10 Q4 2022 Allowance For Credit Loss (ACL) and Provision for Credit Losses 10 Q4 Macroeconomic Forecast Moody’s December 2022 Baseline Forecast: • US GDP expecte d to average 0.9% growth in 2023 and 2.0% in 2024. The national unemployment rate expected to average 4.0% in 2023 and 4.1% in 2024, up from 3.7% in 2022. • Virginia’s unemployment rate expected to average 3.1% over the 2 - year forecast. Q4 ACL Considerations • The baseline forecast was adjusted for the probability of worse - than baseline economic performance over the forecast period, resulting in a weighted forecast scenario that increased Virginia’s average unemployment rate to ~6.0% over the 2 - year forecast period. • Qualitative factors were added for certain portfolios and other factors as deemed appropriate. • The reasonable and supportable forecast period is 2 years; followed by reversion to the historical loss average over 2 years ; consistent with CECL adoption.

18 Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Disclosures The Company has provided supplemental performance measures on a tax - equivalent, tangible, operating, adjusted, or pre - tax pre - pr ovision basis. These non - GAAP financial measures are a supplement to GAAP, which is used to prepare the Company’s financial statements, and sho uld not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Compa ny’ s non - GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non - GAAP financial measures of other companies. The Company uses the non - GAAP financ ial measures discussed herein in its analysis of the Company’s performance. The Company’s management believes that these non - GAAP fi nancial measures provide additional understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior pe rio ds and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented without the impact of items or events that may obscure tren ds in the Company’s underlying performance. |
19 Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Disclosures Adjusted operating measures exclude the losses related to balance sheet repositioning (principally composed of losses on debt extinguishment), gains or losses on sale of securities, gains on the sale of Visa, Inc. Class B common stock, gain on the sale of Dixon, Hubard, Feinour & Brown, Inc. (“DHFB”), as well as strategic branch closure initiatives and related facility consolidation costs (principally composed of real estate, leases and other assets write downs, as well as severance and expense reduction initiatives). The Company believes these non - GAAP adjusted measures provide investors with important information about the continuing economic results of the organization’s operations. Prior periods reflect adjustments for previously announced strategic branch closure and expense reduction initiatives. Net interest income (FTE) and total adjusted revenue (FTE), which are used in computing net interest margin (FTE), efficiency ratio (FTE) and adjusted operating efficiency ratio (FTE), respectively, provide valuable additional insight into the net interest margin and the efficiency ratio by adjusting for differences in tax treatment of interest income sources. The entire FTE adjustment is attributable to interest income on earning assets, which is used in computing yield on earning assets. Interest expense and the related cost of interest - bearing liabilities and cost of funds ratios are not affected by the FTE components. The adjusted operating efficiency ratio (FTE) excludes the amortization of intangible assets, gains or losses on sale of securities, gains on the sale of Visa, Inc. Class B common stock, gain on the sale of DHFB, losses related to balance sheet repositioning (principally composed of losses on debt extinguishment), as well as strategic branch closure initiatives and related facility consolidation costs. This measure is similar to the measure utilized by the Company when analyzing corporate performance and is also similar to the measure utilized for incentive compensation. The Company believes this adjusted measure provides investors with important information about the combined economic results of the organization’s operations. Prior periods reflect adjustments for previously announced strategic branch closure and expense reduction initiatives. The Company believes excluding PPP accretion interest income and fees from operating earnings is useful to investors as it provides more clarity on the Company’s non - PPP related income. Also presented is a computation of the pre - PPP adjusted operating leverage ratio (non - GAAP) which is the period to period percentage change in pre - PPP total adjusted revenue on a taxable - equivalent basis (non - GAAP) less the percentage change in adjusted operating noninterest expense (non - GAAP).

21 Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Disclosures Tangible assets and tangible common equity are used in the calculation of certain profitability, capital, and per share ratios. The Company believes tangible assets, tangible common equity and the related ratios are meaningful measures of capital adequacy because they provide a meaningful base for period - to - period and company - to - company comparisons, which the Company believes will assist investors in assessing the capital of the Company and its ability to absorb potential losses. The Company believes tangible common equity is an important indication of its ability to grow organically and through business combinations, as well as its ability to pay dividends and to engage in various capital management strategies.

22 Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Disclosures Tangible assets and tangible common equity are used in the calculation of certain profitability, capital, and per share ratios. The Company believes tangible assets, tangible common equity and the related ratios are meaningful measures of capital adequacy because they provide a meaningful base for period - to - period and company - to - company comparisons, which the Company believes will assist investors in assessing the capital of the Company and its ability to absorb potential losses. The Company believes tangible common equity is an important indication of its ability to grow organically and through business combinations as well as its ability to pay dividends and to engage in various capital management strategies. The Company believes that ROTCE is a meaningful supplement to GAAP financial measures and useful to investors because it measures the performance of a business consistently across time without regard to whether components of the business were acquired or developed internally. Adjusted operating measures exclude the losses related to balance sheet repositioning (principally composed of losses on debt extinguishment), gains or losses on sale of securities, gains on the sale of Visa, Inc.

24 Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Disclosures PPP adjustment impact excludes the unforgiven portion of PPP loans. The Company believes loans held for investment (net of deferred fees and costs), excluding PPP is useful to investors as it provides more clarity on the Company’s organic growth. The Company also believes that the related non - GAAP financial measures of past due loans still accruing interest as a percentage of total loans held for investment (net of deferred fees and costs), excluding PPP, are useful to investors as loans originated under the PPP carry an SBA guarantee. The Company believes that the ALLL as a percentage of loans held for investment (net of deferred fees and costs), excluding PPP, is useful to investors because of the size of the Company’s PPP originations and the impact of the embedded credit enhancement provided by the SBA guarantee.
