Review of 2020 and 2021 Outlook |
2020 was a year of expedited transformation. This environment became a catalyst for exceptional bank-wide teamwork, tighter prioritizing, faster transformation and innovation. Each business area stepped up to meet demand and help our clients in new ways, while accomplishing our planned initiatives. Established measurement systems to support data-driven decision making across the enterprise, improving accuracy and responsiveness. Our efforts are paying off: delivered strong customer satisfaction scores, achieved key competitive wins, improved brand awareness, while business lines were able to meet or exceed financial plan. 2020 Highlights 11 |
In 2020, we were faced with unprecedented challenges that became our catalyst for faster transformation and innovation Clients Under Financial Distress CARES Act Required Immediate Action Need To Service Clients In New Ways Demand For Services Higher Than Ever Businesses closed or operating under restricted environments. High unemployment. March 27, 2020 CARES Act passed – giving us one week to offer the new PPP product to thousands of businesses. Social distancing makes it difficult to serve clients inside the branch. Unable to meet with clients face-to-face. Demand for digital services spiking to new heights. Low lending rates driving demand for mortgage refinances – at a time when servicing them more difficult than ever. Wealth clients needed immediate advice due to highly volatile market conditions. Recessionary Conditions Anticipated higher credit losses. Lower rate environment and resulting cost pressures. 12 |
Mitigated Risk Credit Action Stability Team “CAST”: Battened down the hatches to protect the Bank by working with our business and consumer clients to assist them through these tough times.

Processed over 6,000 loan modifications totaling over $2B in exposure. Developed additional treasury management products to help clients improve cash flow (i.e. integrated payables). Focus shifted quickly to managing risk and helping clients 13 |
Aligned the expense base to the new revenue reality: Took action to reduce expenses including closing 20 branches or 13% of the network and reduced expenses across the business lines. Enhanced The Client/Teammate Digital Experience: An agile quarterly release delivery schedule allows for quicker improvements to client experiences with relevant enhanced self service capabilities, such as debit card controls, credit score monitoring and virtual zoom appointments. Investments made in digital platforms improved the digital sales experiences for Mortgage, Deposits and Commercial Loan Clients, while servicing improvements to Wealth Technology and Treasury Management have resulted in an empowered and engaged teammate experience. Optimized Marketing: Developed new capabilities and greater emphasis on online customer sales to close the gap due to reduced branch traffic and closures. Expanded Product Lines/Services and Talent: Strategic hiring in Commercial and Business Banking as well as the Wealth Institutional Group. Commercial clients have new and improved treasury management products. Continued expansion of the Equipment Finance division. Launch of Solutions Banking which is gaining traction and generating new accounts. Rapid incorporation of Zoom and DocuSign for account opening and servicing.

22 First Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights Net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter was $53.2 million or 67 cents per common share, down $3.2 million or 5 cents per share from the prior quarter primarily due to the decline in net interest income related to lower PPP accretion partially offset by lower balance sheet restructuring costs. Adjusted operating earnings (non-GAAP) available to common shareholders for the first quarter was $64.8 million or 82 cents per common share down $8.1 million or 11 cents per common share from the prior quarter primarily due to lower net interest income driven by the lower day count in the first quarter and the $7.2 million decline in PPP loan fee accretion interest income due to lower levels of PPP loans processed for forgiveness during the current quarter versus the prior quarter. At March 31, 2021, loan balances were $14.3 billion, including $1.5 billion in PPP loans, an increase of $251.0 million or 7.3% (annualized) from December 31, 2020.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Disclosures 29 Operating Earnings Per Share The Company has provided supplemental performance measures on a tax-equivalent, tangible, operating, adjusted, or pre-tax pre-provision basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplements to GAAP, which is used to prepare the Company’s financial statements, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures discussed herein in its analysis of the Company’s performance. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the periods presented without the impact of items or events that may obscure trends in the Company’s underlying performance. |
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Disclosures 30 Operating Earnings Per Share Adjusted operating measures exclude the after-tax effect of merger and rebranding-related costs unrelated to the Company’s normal operations. In addition, adjusted operating measures exclude the gains or losses related to balance sheet repositioning(principally composed of gains and losses on debt extinguishment) and gains or losses on sale of securities. The Company believes these non-GAAP adjusted measures provide investors with important information about the combined economic results of the organization’s operations. Additionally, the Company believes that return on tangible common equity (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.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Disclosures 32 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 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. |
