8 Q1 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, expect per share amounts • Net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2022 was $40.7 million or $0.54 per share, down $4.1 million or $0.05 per share compared to the prior quarter, primarily driven by: • First quarter 2022’s decrease in net interest income, mainly due to a $7.9 million decline in PPP loan related interest and fees and a $2.2 million decline in acquisition accounting fair value adjustments accretion, reflecting a decline in acquired loan prepayments, • A decrease in noninterest income as the prior quarter benefited from a $5.1 million gain on the sale of Visa, Inc. Class B common stock (VISA B), and • An increase in the provision for credit losses. • Partially offset by a decrease in noninterest expense, primarily reflecting the impact of the prior quarter’s $16.5 million restructuring expenses related to the closure of the Company’s operations center and the consolidation of 16 branches that was completed in March 2022, compared to $5.5 million of similar expenses this quarter. • Adjusted operating earnings (non - GAAP) decreased $8.7 million to $45.1 million at March 31, 2022 compared to the prior quarter, primarily driven by: • First quarter 2022’s decrease in net interest income, mainly due to the declines discussed above in PPP loan related interest and fees and acquisition accounting fair value adjustments accretion, • An increase in the provision for credit losses, and • A decrease in noninterest income as declines in unrealized gains on equity method investments, bank owned life insurance revenue, interchange fees, mortgage banking income and service charges on deposits accounts were partially offset by an increase in loan - related interest rate swap fee income due to higher transactions volume, • Partially offset by the benefit of declines in several noninterest expense categories. Salaries and benefits expenses however reflected a slight net increase as seasonal increases in payroll taxes and 401(k) contribution expenses were partially offset by lower performance based variable incentive compensation and profit sharing expenses. 1Q2022 4Q2021 Net interest income $ 130,931 $ 138,327 - Provision for credit losses 2,800 (1,000) + Noninterest income 30,153 36,417 - Noninterest expense 105,321 119,944 - Taxes 9,273 8,021 Net income (GAAP) 43,690 47,779 - Gain on Visa, Inc.

11 Q1 2022 Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense Noninterest income declined $6.2 million to $30.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 from $36.4 million in the prior quarter due to: • Decreased service charges on deposit accounts of $212,000 • Decreased interchange fees of $217,000 due to a decline in transaction volumes • Decreased mortgage banking income of $213,000 due to a decrease in mortgage loan origination volumes • Decreased bank owned life insurance revenue of $589,000 • Decreases in other operating income of $7.5 million primarily due to: • the gain of $5.1 million from the sale of VISA B shares that occurred in the prior quarter, and • a decrease in unrealized gains on equity method investments of $1.4 million • These noninterest category declines were partially offset by an increase in loan interest rate swap fee income of $2.4 million due to increased transaction volumes Noninterest expense decreased $14.6 million to $105.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 from $119.9 million in the prior quarter due to: • $434,000 decrease in equipment expenses • $747,000 decrease in technology and data processing costs due to the termination of a software contract recorded in the prior quarter • $590,000 reduction in professional services costs associated with various strategic initiatives • $382,000 decrease in marketing and advertising expense • Decreases of $11.0 million in restructuring expenses, as the prior quarter reflected $16.5 million related to the closure of the Company’s operations center and the consolidation of 16 branches that was completed in March 2022, compared to $5.5 million of similar expenses this quarter • Partially offsetting these expense reductions, salaries and benefits expense increased by $328,000 during the first quarter as seasonal increases in taxes and 401(k) contribution expenses in the first quarter of 2022 were offset by lower performance based variable incentive compensation and profit - sharing expenses Noninterest Expense ($ thousands) 1Q2022 4Q2021 Salaries and benefits $ 58,298 $ 57,970 Occupancy expenses 6,883 7,013 Furniture and equipment expenses 3,597 4,031 Technology and data processing 7,796 8,543 Professional services 4,090 4,680 Marketing and advertising expense 2,163 2,545 FDIC assessment premiums and other insurance 2,485 2,684 Other taxes 4,499 4,436 Loan - related expenses 1,776 1,715 Amortization of intangible assets 3,039 3,225 Other expenses 10,695 23,102 Total noninterest expenses $ 105,321 $ 119,944 Less: Amortization of intangible assets 3,039 3,225 Less: Branch closing and facility consolidation costs 5,508 16,536 Total adjusted operating noninterest expense (non - GAAP) $ 96,774 $ 100,183 Noninterest Income ($ thousands) 1Q2022 4Q2021 Service charges on deposit accounts $ 7,596 $ 7,808 Other service charges, commissions and fees 1,655 1,625 Interchange fees 1,810 2,027 Fiduciary and asset management fees 7,255 7,239 Mortgage banking income 3,117 3,330 Bank owned life insurance income 2,697 3,286 Loan - related interest rate swap fees 3,860 1,443 Other operating income 2,163 9,659 Total noninterest income $ 30,153 $ 36,417 Less: Gain on Visa, Inc.

16 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 according 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 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. |
17 Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Disclosures Adjusted operating measures exclude the gains or losses related to balance sheet repositioning (principally composed of gains and losses on debt extinguishment), gains or losses on sale of securities, gains on the sale of Visa, Inc. Class B common stock, as well as branch closing and facility consolidation costs (principally composed of real estate, leases and other assets write downs, gains or losses on related real estate sales, as well as severance associated with branch closing and corporate 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. Non - GAAP adjusted measures for prior periods reflect adjustments for previously announced branch closing and corporate expense reduction initiatives. Net interest income (FTE) and total adjusted revenue (FTE), which are used in computing net interest margin (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, gains or losses related to balance sheet repositioning (principally composed of gains and losses on debt extinguishment), as well as branch closing and 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. Non - GAAP adjusted measures for prior periods reflect adjustments for previously announced branch closing and corporate expense reduction initiatives.

19 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.

20 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 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 gains or losses related to balance sheet repositioning (principally composed of gains and losses on debt extinguishment), gains or losses on sale of securities, gains on the sale of Visa, Inc.

22 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.
