The words "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "may," "should," "plan," "believe," "seek," "estimate" and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but other statements not based on historical information may also be considered forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the statements, including, but not limited to: (i) deterioration in the financial condition of borrowers of Pinnacle Bank and its subsidiaries or ~~Bankers Healthcare Group, LLC (BHG),~~BHG, including as a result of the negative impact of inflationary pressures on our and BHG's customers and their businesses, resulting in significant increases in loan losses and provisions for those losses and, in the case of BHG, substitutions; (ii) fluctuations or differences in interest rates on loans or deposits from those that Pinnacle Financial is modeling or anticipating, including as a result of Pinnacle Bank's inability to better match deposit rates with the changes in the short-term rate environment, or that affect the yield curve; (iii) the sale of investment securities in a loss position before their value recovers, including as a result of asset liability management strategies or in response to liquidity needs; (iv) adverse conditions in the national or local economies including in Pinnacle Financial's markets throughout Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia and Kentucky, particularly in commercial and residential real estate markets; (v) the inability of Pinnacle Financial, or entities in which it has significant investments, like BHG, to maintain the long-term historical growth rate of its, or such entities', loan portfolio; (vi) the ability to grow and retain low-cost core deposits and retain large, uninsured deposits, including during times when Pinnacle Bank is seeking to limit the rates it pays on deposits or uncertainty exists in the financial services sector; (vii) changes in loan underwriting, credit review or loss reserve policies associated with economic conditions, examination conclusions, or regulatory developments; (viii) effectiveness of Pinnacle Financial's asset management activities in improving, resolving or liquidating lower-quality assets; (ix) the impact of competition with other financial institutions, including pricing pressures and the resulting impact on Pinnacle Financial’s results, including as a result of the negative impact to net interest margin from rising deposit and other funding costs; (x) the results of regulatory examinations; (xi) due diligence or other issues or other matters that delay or prevent the closings on one or more of the remaining fifteen properties we have agreed to sell in connection with our sale-leaseback transaction, or expenses that reduce the additional pre-tax net gain that the Company estimates it will recognize upon consummation of the sale of those properties; (xii) Pinnacle Financial's ability to identify potential candidates for, consummate, and achieve synergies from, potential future acquisitions; (xiii) difficulties and delays in integrating acquired businesses or fully realizing costs savings and other benefits from acquisitions; (xiv) BHG's ability to profitably grow its business and successfully execute on its business plans; ~~(xv)~~(xii) risks of expansion into new geographic or product markets; ~~(xvi)~~(xiii) any matter that would cause Pinnacle Financial to conclude that there was impairment of any asset, including goodwill or other intangible assets; ~~(xvii)~~(xiv) the ineffectiveness of Pinnacle Bank's hedging strategies, or the unexpected counterparty failure or hedge failure of the underlying hedges; ~~(xviii)~~(xv) reduced ability to attract additional financial advisors (or failure of such advisors to cause their clients to switch to Pinnacle Bank), to retain financial advisors (including as a result of the competitive environment for associates) or otherwise to attract customers from other financial institutions; ~~(xix)~~(xvi) deterioration in the valuation of other real estate owned and increased expenses associated therewith; ~~(xx)~~(xvii) inability to comply with regulatory capital requirements, including those resulting from changes to capital calculation methodologies, required capital maintenance levels or regulatory requests or directives, particularly if Pinnacle Bank's level of applicable commercial real estate loans were to exceed percentage levels of total capital in guidelines recommended by its regulators; ~~(xxi)~~(xviii) approval of the declaration of any dividend by Pinnacle Financial's board of directors; ~~(xxii)~~(xix) the vulnerability of Pinnacle Bank's network and online banking portals, and the systems of parties with whom Pinnacle Bank contracts, to unauthorized access, computer viruses, phishing schemes, spam attacks, human error, natural disasters, power loss and other security breaches; ~~(xxiii)~~(xx) the possibility of increased compliance and operational costs as a result of increased regulatory oversight (including by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau), including oversight of companies in which Pinnacle Financial or Pinnacle Bank have significant investments, like BHG, and the development of additional banking products for Pinnacle Bank's corporate and consumer clients; ~~(xxiv)~~(xxi) Pinnacle Financial's ability to identify potential candidates for, consummate, and achieve synergies from, potential future acquisitions; (xxii) difficulties and delays in integrating acquired businesses or fully realizing costs savings and other benefits from acquisitions; (xxiii) the risks associated with Pinnacle Bank being a minority investor in BHG, including the risk that the owners of a majority of the equity interests in BHG decide to sell the company or all or a portion of their ownership interests in BHG (triggering a similar sale by Pinnacle Bank); ~~(xxv)~~(xxiv) changes in state and federal legislation, regulations or policies applicable to banks and other financial service providers, like BHG, including regulatory or legislative developments; ~~(xxvi)~~(xxv) fluctuations in the valuations of Pinnacle Financial's equity investments and the ultimate success of such investments; ~~(xxvii)~~(xxvi) the availability of and access to capital; ~~(xxviii)~~(xxvii) adverse results (including costs, fines, reputational harm, inability to obtain necessary approvals and/or other negative effects) from current or future litigation, regulatory examinations or other legal and/or regulatory actions;

PINNACLE FINANCIAL PARTNERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business — Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. (Pinnacle Financial) is a financial holding company whose primary business is conducted by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pinnacle Bank. Pinnacle Bank is a commercial bank headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. Pinnacle Financial completed its acquisitions of CapitalMark Bank & Trust (CapitalMark), Magna Bank (Magna), Avenue Financial Holdings, Inc. (Avenue) and BNC Bancorp (BNC) on July 31, 2015, September 1, 2015, July 1, 2016 and June 16, 2017, respectively. Pinnacle Bank completed its acquisition of Advocate Capital, Inc. (Advocate Capital) on July 2, 2019. Pinnacle Bank also holds a 49% interest in Bankers Healthcare Group, LLC (BHG), a company that primarily serves as a full-service commercial loan provider to healthcare and other professional practices but also makes consumer loans for various purposes. The investment in BHG previously held by Pinnacle Financial was contributed to Pinnacle Bank effective September 30, 2022. Pinnacle Bank provides a full range of banking services, including investment, mortgage, insurance, and comprehensive wealth management services, in its 17 primarily urban markets and their surrounding communities.

On March 1, 2022, Pinnacle Bank acquired the remaining 80% outstanding membership interest of JB&B Capital, LLC (JB&B) for a cash price of $32.0 million. JB&B is a commercial equipment financing business headquartered in Knoxville, TN. Pinnacle Bank had previously acquired 20% of JB&B in 2017. Pinnacle Financial accounted for the acquisition of JB&B under the acquisition method in accordance with ASC Topic ~~805.~~805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price is allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, particularly illiquid assets and liabilities, is a complicated process involving significant judgment regarding estimates and assumptions used to calculate estimated fair value. At the acquisition date, JB&B's net assets were recorded at a fair value of $12.9 million, consisting mainly of loans and leases receivable. JB&B's $29.5 million of indebtedness was also paid off in connection with consummation of the acquisition. The preexisting noncontrolling interest of JB&B held by Pinnacle Bank was remeasured at a fair value of $8.0 million on the acquisition date resulting in a gain on remeasurement of $5.5 million that was recorded in other noninterest income during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The purchase price allocations for the acquisition of JB&B were finalized during the first quarter of 2023.

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). All adjustments consisting of normally recurring accruals that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods covered by the report have been included. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in Pinnacle Financial's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (2022 10-K).

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pinnacle Financial and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Certain statutory trust affiliates of Pinnacle Financial, as noted in Note 12. Other Borrowings, are included in these consolidated financial statements pursuant to the equity method of accounting. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include the determination of the allowance for credit losses and determination of any impairment of goodwill or intangible assets. It is reasonably possible Pinnacle Financial's estimate of the allowance for credit losses and determination of impairment of intangible assets could change as a result of the uncertainty in current macroeconomic conditions. The resulting change in ~~this estimate~~these estimates could be material to Pinnacle Financial's consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans — Pinnacle Financial adopted FASB ASC 326,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, effective January 1, 2020, which requires the estimation of an allowance for credit losses in accordance with the Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) methodology. Pinnacle Financial's management assesses the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis. This assessment includes procedures to estimate the allowance and test the adequacy and appropriateness of the resulting balance. The level of the allowance is based upon management's evaluation of historical default and loss experience, current and projected

Table of Contents

economic conditions, asset quality trends, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay a loan (including the timing

~~Table of Contents~~

of future payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, industry and peer bank loan quality indications and other pertinent factors, including regulatory recommendations. The level of the allowance for credit losses maintained by management is believed adequate to absorb all expected future losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased through provision for credit losses and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries of amounts previously charged-off. During the second quarter of 2023, Pinnacle Financial implemented updated CECL models in an effort to ensure that risk in its portfolio at an individual loan level continues to be adequately captured given the uncertain state of the economy. The implementation of the new model had no material effect on the overall allowance for credit losses in the ~~quarter.~~quarter of implementation.

The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective basis for pools of loans with similar risk characteristics. Pinnacle Financial has identified the following pools of financial assets with similar risk characteristics for measuring expected credit losses:

•Owner occupied commercial real estate mortgage loans - Owner occupied commercial real estate mortgage loans are secured by commercial office buildings, industrial buildings, warehouses or retail buildings where the owner of the building occupies the property. For such loans, repayment is largely dependent upon the operation of the borrower's business.

•Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans - These loans represent investment real estate loans secured by office buildings, industrial buildings, warehouses, retail buildings, and multifamily residential housing. Repayment is primarily dependent on lease income generated from the underlying collateral.

•Consumer real estate mortgage loans - Consumer real estate mortgage consists primarily of loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties, including home equity lines of credit. Repayment is primarily dependent on the personal cash flow of the borrower.

•Construction and land development loans - Construction and land development loans include loans where the repayment is dependent on the successful completion and eventual sale, refinance or operation of the related real estate project. Construction and land development loans include 1-4 family construction projects and commercial construction endeavors such as warehouses, apartments, office and retail space and land acquisition and development.

•Commercial and industrial loans - Commercial and industrial loans include loans to business enterprises issued for commercial, industrial and/or other professional purposes. These loans are generally secured by equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable of the borrower and repayment is primarily dependent on business cash flows. Loans granted under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which are fully guaranteed by the ~~SBA,~~Small Business Administration (SBA), are included in this category.

•Consumer and other loans - Consumer and other loans include all loans issued to individuals not included in the consumer real estate mortgage classification. Examples of consumer and other loans are automobile loans, consumer credit cards and loans to finance education, among others. Many consumer loans are unsecured. Repayment is primarily dependent on the personal cash flow of the borrower.

For commercial real estate, consumer real estate, construction and land development, and commercial and industrial loans, Pinnacle Financial primarily utilizes a PDprobability of default (PD) and loss given default (LGD) modeling approach. These models utilize historical correlations between default experience, loan level attributes and certain macroeconomic factors as determined through a statistical regression analysis. All loan segments modeled using this approach incorporate ~~two~~one or more macroeconomic drivers. Macroeconomic factors used in the model include the unadjusted and seasonally adjusted unemployment rate, gross domestic product, commercial property price index, consumer credit, commercial real estate price index, household debt ratio, household financial obligations ratio, and certain home price indices. Projections of these macroeconomic factors, obtained from an independent third party, are utilized to predict quarterly rates of default based on the statistical PD models. Adjustments are made to predicted default rates as considered necessary for each loan segment based on other quantitative and qualitative information not utilized as a direct input into the statistical models. The predicted quarterly default rates are then applied to the estimated future exposure at default (EAD), as determined based on contractual amortization terms and estimated prepayments. An estimated LGD, determined based on historical loss experience, is applied to the quarterly defaulted balances for each loan segment to estimate future losses of the loan's amortized cost.

Losses are predicted over a period of time determined to be reasonable and supportable, and at the end of the reasonable and supportable period losses are reverted to long term historical averages. The reasonable and supportable period and reversion period are re-evaluated each quarter by Pinnacle Financial and are dependent on the current economic environment among other factors. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, a reasonable and supportable period of eighteen months was utilized for all loan segments, followed by a twelve month straight line reversion to long term averages.

Table of Contents

For the consumer and other loan segment, a loss rate approach is utilized. For these loans, historical charge off rates are applied to projected future balances, as determined in the same manner as EAD for the statistically modeled loan segments. For credit cards, which have no amortization terms or contractual maturities and are unconditionally cancellable, future balances are estimated based on expected payment volume applied to the current balance.

~~Table of Contents~~

The estimated loan losses for all loan segments are adjusted for changes in qualitative factors not inherently considered in the quantitative analyses. The qualitative categories and the measurements used to quantify the risks within each of these categories are subjectively selected by management but measured by objective measurements period over period. The data for each measurement may be obtained from internal or external sources. The current period measurements are evaluated and assigned a factor commensurate with the current level of risk relative to past measurements over time. The resulting qualitative adjustments are applied to the relevant collectively evaluated loan portfolios. These adjustments are based upon quarterly trend assessments in portfolio concentrations, policy exceptions, associate retention, independent loan review results, competition and peer group credit quality trends. The qualitative allowance allocation, as determined by the processes noted above, is increased or decreased for each loan segment based on the assessment of these various qualitative factors. Additional qualitative considerations are made for any identified risk which did not exist within our portfolio historically and therefore may not be adequately addressed through evaluation of such risk factor based on historical portfolio trends as previously discussed.

Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with the collectively evaluated pools are evaluated on an individual basis and are excluded from the collectively evaluated pools. Individual evaluations are generally performed for loans greater than $1.0 million which have experienced significant credit deterioration. Such loans are evaluated for credit losses based on either discounted cash flows or the fair value of collateral. ~~When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral, less selling costs.~~ For loans ~~for which foreclosure is not probable, but~~individually evaluated for which repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, Pinnacle Financial has elected the practical expedient under ASC 326 to estimate expected credit losses based on the fair value of the collateral, with selling costs considered in the event sale of the collateral is expected.

The starting point for the estimate of the allowance for credit losses is historical loss information, which includes losses from modifications of receivables to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Pinnacle Financial uses a probability of default/loss given default model to determine the allowance for credit losses. An assessment of whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty is made on the date of a modification. Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. Occasionally, a loan modification will be granted by providing principal forgiveness on certain loans. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for credit losses. The amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.

In some cases, a loan restructuring will result in providing multiple types of modifications. Typically, one type of modification, such as a payment delay or term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another modification, such as principal forgiveness or an interest rate reduction, may be granted. Additionally, multiple types of modifications may be made on the same loan within the current reporting period. ~~The~~Such a combination is at least two of the following: a payment delay, term extension, principal forgiveness, and interest rate reduction. Upon determination that a modified loan (or portion of a loan) has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan (or a portion of the loan) is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost basis of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for credit losses is adjusted by the same amount.

In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, Pinnacle Financial considers the results of Pinnacle Financial's ongoing independent loan review process. Pinnacle Financial undertakes this process both to ascertain those loans in the portfolio with elevated credit risk and to assist in its overall evaluation of the risk characteristics of the entire loan portfolio. Its loan review process includes the judgment of management, independent internal loan reviewers and reviews that may have been conducted by third-party reviewers including regulatory examiners. Pinnacle Financial incorporates relevant loan review results in the allowance.

While policies and procedures used to estimate the allowance for credit losses, as well as the resultant provision for credit losses charged to income, are considered adequate by management and are reviewed periodically by regulators, model validators and internal ~~audit,~~auditors, they are necessarily approximate and imprecise. There are factors beyond Pinnacle Financial's control, such as changes in projected economic conditions, real estate markets or particular industry conditions which may materially impact asset quality and the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and thus the resulting provision for credit losses.

Income Per Common Share — Basic net income per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted. The difference between basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding is attributable to common stock options, restricted share awards, and restricted share unit awards, including those with performance-based vesting provisions. The dilutive effect of outstanding options, restricted share awards, and restricted share unit awards is reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method.

The following is a summary of the basic and diluted net income per common share calculations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except per share data):

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements — In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and has issued subsequent amendments thereto, which provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. It is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. The guidance was initially effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued an update to Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting with Accounting Standards Update 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which updated the effective date to be March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. Pinnacle Financial implemented a

Table of Contents

transition plan to identify and convert its loans and other financial instruments, including certain indebtedness, with attributes that are either directly or indirectly influenced by LIBOR. Pinnacle Financial has moved the majority of its LIBOR-based loans to its preferred replacement index, a Secured Overnight Financing Rate ~~("SOFR")~~(SOFR) based index as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023. For Pinnacle Financial's currently

~~Table of Contents~~

outstanding LIBOR-based loans, the timing and manner in which each customer's interest rate transitions to a replacement index will vary on a case-by-case basis and should occur at the next repricing date for these loans.

In March 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method, which allows multiple hedged layers to be designated for a single closed portfolio of financial assets resulting in a greater portion of the interest rate risk in the closed portfolio being eligible to be hedged. The amendments allow the flexibility to use different types of derivatives or combinations of derivatives to better align with risk management strategies. Furthermore, among other things, the amendments clarify that basis adjustments of hedged items in the closed portfolio should be allocated at the portfolio level and not the individual assets within the portfolio. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Pinnacle Financial adopted ASU 2022-01 on January 1, 2023 and it did not impact Pinnacle Financial's accounting or disclosures.

In March 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which removes the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings and requires entities to evaluate whether a modification provided to a borrower results in a new loan or continuation of an existing loan. The amendments enhance existing disclosures and require new disclosures for receivables when there has been a modification in contractual cash flows due to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. Additionally, the amendments require public business entities to disclose gross charge-off information by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. The guidance is effective for entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13 for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Pinnacle Financial adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023 and incorporated the required disclosures into Note 4. Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses.

Newly Issued Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards — In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies the guidance in ASC 820 when measuring the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security. This update also requires specific disclosures related to these types of securities. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, including early adoption in an interim period. An entity should apply ASU 2022-03 prospectively once adopted. Pinnacle Financial is assessing ASU 2022-03 and its potential impact on its accounting and disclosures.

In March 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-02, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method, which permits the use of the proportional amortization method of accounting for tax equity investments if certain conditions are met. A reporting entity makes the accounting policy election to apply the proportional amortization method on a tax-credit-program-by-tax-credit-program basis rather than electing to apply the proportional amortization method at the reporting entity or individual investment level. The amendments require specific disclosures that must be applied to all investments that generate tax credits and other income tax benefits from a tax credit program for which the entity has elected to apply the proportional amortization method. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, including early adoption in an interim period. An entity should apply ASU 2023-02 on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis once adopted. Pinnacle Financial is assessing ASU 2023-02 and its potential impact on its accounting and disclosures.

Other than those pronouncements discussed above and those which have been recently adopted, Pinnacle Financial does not believe there were any other recently issued accounting pronouncements that may materially impact its consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications — Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholder's equity.

Subsequent Events — ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Pinnacle Financial evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after ~~June~~September 30, 2023 through the date of the issued financial statements with no subsequent events being noted as of the date of this filing.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2022, March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2018, Pinnacle Financial transferred, at fair value, $1.1 billion, $873.6 million and $179.8 million, respectively, of securities from the available-for-sale portfolio to the held-to-maturity portfolio. The related net unrealized after tax losses of $1.5 million, net unrealized after tax gains of $69.0 million and net unrealized after tax losses of $2.2 million, respectively, remained in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are being amortized over the remaining life of the transferred securities, offsetting the related amortization of discount or premium on the transferred securities. No gains or losses were recognized at the time of the transfer. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, approximately $1.9 billion of securities within Pinnacle Financial's investment portfolio were pledged to secure either public funds and other deposits or securities sold under agreements to repurchase. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, repurchase agreements comprised of secured borrowings totaled ~~$163.8~~$196.0 million and were secured by ~~$163.8~~$196.0 million of pledged U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, municipal ~~securities, asset-~~

Table of Contents

~~backed~~securities, asset-backed securities and corporate debentures. As the fair value of securities pledged to secure repurchase agreements may decline, Pinnacle Financial regularly evaluates its need to pledge additional securities to the customers with whom it has entered into the repurchase agreements for the customers to remain adequately secured.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 by contractual maturity is shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities of mortgage- and asset-backed securities since the mortgages and assets underlying the securities may be called or prepaid with or without penalty.

The applicable dates for determining when available-for-sale securities were in an unrealized loss position were ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As such, it is possible that an available-for-sale security had a market value less than its amortized cost on other days during the twelve-month periods ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, but is not in the "Investments with an Unrealized Loss of less than 12 months" category above.

As shown in the tables above, at ~~June~~September 30, 2023, Pinnacle Financial had approximately ~~$288.2~~$405.9 million in unrealized losses on approximately ~~$2.7~~$3.6 billion of available-for-sale securities. For any securities classified as available-for-sale that are in an unrealized loss position at the balance sheet date, Pinnacle Financial assesses whether or not it intends to sell the security, or more likely than not will be required to sell the security, before recovery of its amortized cost basis which would require a write-down to fair value through net income. Because Pinnacle Financial currently does not intend to sell those available-for-sale securities that have ~~an unrealized loss~~

Table of Contents

an unrealized loss at ~~June~~September 30, 2023, and it is not more-likely-than-not that Pinnacle Financial will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, Pinnacle Financial has determined that no write-down is necessary. In addition, Pinnacle Financial evaluates whether any portion of the decline in fair value of available-for-sale securities is the result of credit deterioration, which would require the recognition of an allowance for credit losses. Such evaluations consider the extent to which the amortized cost of the security exceeds its fair value, changes in credit ratings and any other known adverse conditions related to the specific security. The unrealized losses associated with available-for-sale securities at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 are driven by changes in interest rates and are not due to the credit quality of the securities, and accordingly, no allowance for credit losses is considered necessary related to available-for-sale securities at ~~June~~September 30, 2023. These securities will continue to be monitored as a part of Pinnacle Financial's ongoing evaluation of credit quality. Management evaluates the financial performance of the issuers on a quarterly basis to determine if it is probable that the issuers can make all contractual principal and interest payments.

The allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity securities is measured on a collective basis by major security type. Pinnacle Financial has a zero loss expectation for U.S. treasury securities in addition to U.S. Government agency securities and mortgage-backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and accordingly, no allowance for credit losses is estimated for these securities. Credit losses on held-to-maturity state and municipal securities and corporate notes and other securities are estimated using third-party probability of default and loss given default models driven primarily by macroeconomic factors over a reasonable and supportable period of eighteen months with a twelve month reversion to average loss factors. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated allowance for credit losses on these held-to-maturity securities was $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, with the change driven largely by changes in macroeconomic forecasts.

Pinnacle Financial utilizes bond credit ratings assigned by third party ratings agencies to monitor the credit quality of debt securities held-to-maturity. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, all debt securities classified as held-to-maturity were rated A or higher by the ratings agencies. Updated credit ratings are obtained as they become available from the ratings agencies.

Periodically, available-for-sale securities may be sold or the composition of the portfolio realigned to improve yields, quality or marketability, or to implement changes in investment or asset/liability strategy, including maintaining collateral requirements and raising funds for liquidity purposes or preparing for anticipated changes in market interest rates. Additionally, if an available-for-sale security loses its investment grade or tax-exempt status, the underlying credit support is terminated or collection otherwise becomes uncertain based on factors known to management, Pinnacle Financial will consider selling the security, but will review each security on a case-by-case basis as these factors become known. During the ~~six~~three and nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, ~~$173.5~~$129.6 million and $303.1 million of available-for-sale securities were sold, respectively, resulting in gross realized gains of $289,000 and $302,000 and gross realized losses of $10.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, $26.6 million of available-for-sale securities were sold resulting in gross realized gains of ~~$13,000~~$292,000 and gross realized losses of ~~$10.0 million.~~$76,000, respectively. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, ~~$2.9~~$29.5 million of available-for-sale securities were sold resulting in gross realized gains of $292,000 and gross realized losses of ~~$61,000.~~$136,000.

Pinnacle Financial has entered into various fair value hedging transactions to mitigate the impact of changing interest rates on the fair values of available-for-sale securities. See Note 9. Derivative Instruments for disclosure of the gains and losses recognized on derivative instruments and the cumulative fair value hedging adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged securities.

Note 4. Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses

For financial reporting purposes, Pinnacle Financial classifies its loan portfolio based on the underlying collateral utilized to secure each loan. This classification is consistent with those utilized in the Quarterly Report of Condition and Income filed by Pinnacle Bank with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

Pinnacle Financial uses the following loan categories for presentation of loan balances and the related allowance for credit losses on loans:

Commercial loans receive risk ratings assigned by a financial advisor subject to validation by Pinnacle Financial's independent loan review department. Risk ratings are categorized as pass, special mention, substandard, substandard-nonaccrual or doubtful-nonaccrual. Pass rated loans include multiple ratings categories representing varying degrees of risk attributes that are less than those of the other defined risk categories further described below. Pinnacle Financial believes its categories follow those used by Pinnacle Bank's primary regulators. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, approximately ~~79%~~79.2% of Pinnacle Financial's loan portfolio was analyzed as a commercial loan type with a specifically assigned risk rating. Consumer loans and small business loans are generally not assigned an individual risk rating but are evaluated as either accrual or nonaccrual based on the performance of the individual loans. However, certain consumer real estate-mortgage loans and certain consumer and other loans receive a specific risk rating due to the loan proceeds being used for commercial purposes even though the collateral may be of a consumer loan nature. Consumer loans that have been placed on nonaccrual but have not otherwise been assigned a risk rating are believed by management to share risk characteristics with loans rated substandard-nonaccrual and have been presented as such in Pinnacle Financial's risk rating disclosures.

Risk ratings are subject to continual review by a financial advisor and a senior credit officer. At least annually, Pinnacle Financial's credit procedures require every risk rated loan of $1.5 million or more be subject to a formal credit risk review process. Each loan's risk rating is also subject to review by Pinnacle Financial's independent loan review department, which reviews a substantial portion of Pinnacle Financial's risk rated portfolio annually. Included in the coverage are independent reviews of loans in targeted higher-risk portfolio segments such as certain commercial and industrial loans, land loans and/or loan types in certain geographies.

Following are the definitions of the risk rating categories used by Pinnacle Financial. Pass rated loans include all credits other than those included within these categories:

•Special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in Pinnacle Financial's credit position at some future date.

•Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and financial capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize collection of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that Pinnacle Financial could sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

•Substandard-nonaccrual loans are substandard loans that have been placed on nonaccrual status.

Table of Contents

•Doubtful-nonaccrual loans have all the characteristics of substandard-nonaccrual loans with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

(1) Potential problem loans represent those loans with a well-defined weakness and where information about possible credit problems of borrowers has caused management to have doubts about the borrower's ability to comply with present repayment terms. This definition is believed to be substantially consistent with the standards established by Pinnacle Bank's primary regulators for loans classified as substandard, excluding loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Potential problem loans, which are not included in nonaccrual loans, amounted to approximately ~~$98.9~~$134.5 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2023, compared to $53.8 million at December 31, 2022.

The adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is reviewed by Pinnacle Financial's management on a quarterly basis. This assessment includes procedures to estimate the allowance and test the adequacy and appropriateness of the resulting balance. The level of the allowance is based upon management's evaluation of historical default and loss experience, current and projected economic conditions, asset quality trends, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay the loan (including the timing of future payment), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, industry and peer bank loan quality indications and other pertinent factors, including regulatory recommendations. The level of the allowance for credit losses maintained by management is believed adequate to absorb all expected future losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to expense and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries of amounts previously charged-off. During the second quarter of 2023, Pinnacle Financial implemented updated CECL models in an effort to ensure that risk in its portfolio continues to be adequately captured given the uncertain state of the economy.

CECL methodology requires the allowance for credit losses to be measured on a collective basis for pools of loans with similar risk characteristics, and for loans that do not share similar risk characteristics with the collectively evaluated pools, evaluations are performed on an individual basis. For commercial real estate, consumer real estate, construction and land development, and commercial and industrial loans, Pinnacle Financial primarily utilizes a probability of default and loss given default modeling approach. These models utilize historical correlations between default and loss experience, loan level attributes, and certain macroeconomic factors as determined through a statistical regression analysis. Segments using this approach incorporate various economic drivers.

Under the current model, commercial and industrial loans consider ~~GDP,~~gross domestic product (GDP), the consumer credit index and the national unemployment rate, commercial construction loans and commercial real estate loans including nonowner occupied and owner occupied commercial real estate loans consider the national unemployment rate and the commercial property and commercial real estate price indices, construction and land development loans consider the commercial property, consumer credit and home price

Table of Contents

indices dependent upon their use as residential versus commercial, consumer real estate loans consider the home price index and household debt ratio and other consumer loans consider the national unemployment rate and the household financial obligations ratio.

Under the previous model, all loan segments considered changes in the national unemployment rate. In addition to the national unemployment rate, GDP and the ~~three month~~three-month treasury rate were considered for owner occupied commercial real estate loans, the commercial real estate price index and the ~~five year~~five-year treasury rate were considered for construction loans, and the ~~three month~~three-month treasury rate was considered for commercial and industrial loans.

A third-party provides management with quarterly macroeconomic scenarios, which management evaluates to determine the best estimate of the expected losses. For the consumer and other loan segment, a non-statistical approach based on historical charge off rates is utilized. The implementation of the new model including the addition of, and changes to, macroeconomic factors considered had no material effect on the overall allowance for credit losses.

Losses are predicted over a period of time determined to be reasonable and supportable, and at the end of the reasonable and supportable period losses are reverted to long term historical averages. The reasonable and supportable period and reversion period are re-evaluated each quarter by Pinnacle Financial and are dependent on the current economic environment among other factors. A reasonable and supportable period of eighteen months was utilized for all loan segments at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 as compared to twenty-four months at December 31, 2022, followed by a twelve month straight line reversion to long term averages at each measurement date.

The estimated loan losses for all loan segments are adjusted for changes in qualitative factors not inherently considered in the quantitative analyses. These adjustments are based upon quarterly trend assessments in portfolio concentrations, policy exceptions, associate retention, independent loan review results, competition and peer group credit quality trends. The qualitative allowance allocation, as determined by the processes noted above, is increased or decreased for each loan segment based on the assessment of these various qualitative factors.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans, which are individually evaluated to determine expected credit losses, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

made on the date of a modification. Because the effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. Occasionally, a loan modification will be granted by providing principal forgiveness on certain loans. When principal forgiveness is provided, the ~~amortized cost basis of the asset is written off against the allowance for credit losses. The~~ amount of the principal forgiveness is deemed to be uncollectible; therefore, that portion of the loan is written off, resulting in a reduction of the amortized cost basis and a corresponding adjustment to the allowance for credit losses.

The following table shows the amortized cost basis of the loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the ~~six~~three and nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 (all of which modifications occurred in the three months ended September 30, 2023), disaggregated by class of loans and type of modification granted and describes the financial effect of the modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty (in thousands):

Pinnacle Financial's policy is the accrual of interest income will be discontinued when (1) there is a significant deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower and full repayment of principal and interest is not expected or (2) the principal or interest is more than 90 days past due, unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. As such, at the date loans are placed on nonaccrual status, Pinnacle Financial reverses all previously accrued interest income against current year earnings. Pinnacle Financial's policy is once a loan is placed on nonaccrual status each subsequent payment is reviewed on a case-by-case basis to

determine if the payment should be applied to interest or principal pursuant to regulatory guidelines. Pinnacle Financial recognized no interest income from cash payments received on nonaccrual loans during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Had these loans been on accruing status, an additional $1.2 million and ~~$2.2~~$3.1 million of interest income would have been recognized for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to an additional ~~$459,000~~$240,000 and ~~$903,000~~$864,000 for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, respectively. Approximately ~~$14.9~~$9.2 million and $6.4 million of nonaccrual loans were performing pursuant to their contractual terms as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Pinnacle Financial analyzes its commercial loan portfolio to determine if a concentration of credit risk exists to any industries. Pinnacle Financial utilizes broadly accepted industry classification systems in order to classify borrowers into various industry classifications. Pinnacle Financial has a credit exposure (loans outstanding plus unfunded lines of credit) exceeding 25% of Pinnacle Bank's total risk-based capital to borrowers in the following industries at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 with the comparative exposures for December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

Among other data, Pinnacle Financial monitors two ratios regarding construction and commercial real estate lending as part of its concentration management processes. Both ratios are calculated by dividing certain types of loan balances for each of the two categories by Pinnacle Bank’s total risk-based capital. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Pinnacle Bank’s construction and land development loans as a percentage of total risk-based capital were ~~84.5%~~83.1% and 85.9%, respectively. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate and multifamily loans (including construction and land development loans) as a percentage of total risk-based capital were ~~256.7%~~256.4% and 249.6% as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Banking regulations have established guidelines for the construction ratio of less than 100% of total risk-based capital and for the non-owner occupied ratio of less than 300% of total risk-based capital. When a bank’s ratios are in excess of one or both of these guidelines, banking regulations generally require an increased level of monitoring in these lending areas by bank management. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, Pinnacle Bank was within the 100% and 300% guidelines and has established what it believes to be appropriate monitoring of its lending in these areas as it aims to keep the level of these loans below the 100% and 300% thresholds.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, Pinnacle Bank had granted loans and other extensions of credit amounting to approximately ~~$38.6~~$38.3 million to current directors, executive officers, and their related interests, of which ~~$35.1~~$34.4 million had been drawn upon. At December 31, 2022, Pinnacle Bank had granted loans and other extensions of credit amounting to approximately $20.9 million to directors, executive

Table of Contents

officers, and their related interests, of which approximately $16.0 million had been drawn upon. All loans to directors, executive officers, and their related interests were performing in accordance with contractual terms at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Loans Held for Sale

At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, Pinnacle Financial had approximately ~~$22.7~~$20.5 million in commercial loans held for sale compared to $21.1 million at December 31, 2022. These include commercial real estate and apartment loans originated for sale to a third-party as part of a multi-family loan program. Such loans are closed under a pass-through commitment structure wherein Pinnacle Bank's loan commitment to the borrower is the same as the third party's take-out commitment to Pinnacle Bank and the third party purchase typically occurs within thirty days of Pinnacle Bank closing with the borrowers. Also included are commercial loans originated for sale to BHG as part of BHG's alternative financing portfolio.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, Pinnacle Financial had approximately ~~$28.2~~$25.1 million of mortgage loans held-for-sale compared to approximately $12.9 million at December 31, 2022. Total mortgage loan volumes sold during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 were approximately ~~$313.1~~$511.3 million compared to approximately ~~$510.5~~$691.7 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, Pinnacle Financial recognized ~~$1.6~~$2.0 million and ~~$3.6~~$5.6 million, respectively, in gains on the sale of these loans, net of commissions paid, compared to ~~$2.2~~$1.1 million and ~~$6.2~~$7.3 million, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

~~Table of Contents~~

These residential mortgage loans held-for-sale are originated internally and are primarily to borrowers in Pinnacle Bank's geographic markets. These sales are typically on a mandatory basis to investors that follow conventional government sponsored entities (GSE) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development/U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (HUD/VA) guidelines.

Each purchaser of a residential mortgage loan held-for-sale has specific guidelines and criteria for sellers of loans and the risk of credit loss with regard to the principal amount of the loans sold is generally transferred to the purchasers upon sale. While the loans are sold without recourse, the purchase agreements require Pinnacle Bank to make certain representations and warranties regarding the existence and sufficiency of file documentation and the absence of fraud by borrowers or other third parties such as appraisers in connection with obtaining the loan. If it is determined that the loans sold were in breach of these representations or warranties, Pinnacle Bank has obligations to either repurchase the loan for the unpaid principal balance and related investor fees or make the purchaser whole for the economic benefits of the loan. To date, Pinnacle Bank's liability pursuant to the terms of these representations and warranties has been insignificant.

Pinnacle Financial has entered into various operating leases, primarily for office space and branch facilities. The leases are classified as operating or finance leases at commencement. Right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying asset and lease liabilities representing the obligation to make future lease payments are recognized on the balance sheet within other assets and other liabilities. These assets and liabilities are estimated based on the present value of future lease payments discounted using Pinnacle Financial's incremental secured borrowing rates as of the commencement date of the lease. Certain lease agreements contain

Table of Contents

renewal options which are considered in the determination of the lease term if they are deemed reasonably certain to be exercised. Pinnacle Financial has elected not to recognize leases with an original term of less than 12 months on the balance sheet.

During the second quarter of 2023, Pinnacle Bank consummated a sale-leaseback transaction pursuant to which it sold a combined 49 properties to two unaffiliated entities, PNB TN Portfolio Owner LLC and PNB Portfolio Owner, LLC (each, a "Purchaser" and collectively, the "Purchasers"), each of whom is an affiliate of Oak Street Real Estate Capital, for an aggregate cash purchase price of $198.2 million and concurrently agreed to separately lease each of those properties for an initial term of 14.5 years, with two five (5) year renewal options that ~~the~~Pinnacle Bank may exercise to extend the term of any of the leases. The pre-tax, net gain recorded associated with the sale of these 49 properties was $85.7 million, after deducting transaction-related expenses. The aggregate annual lease expense associated with these properties will be approximately $17.0 million for the first twelve months of the lease term, with each lease including a 1.9% annual rent escalation during the initial term, and a 2.0% annual rent escalation during each of the two five-year renewal terms, if exercised. The proceeds of ~~this~~the sale-leaseback transaction ~~are expected to be initially~~have been retained in Pinnacle Bank's cash accounts at the Federal ~~Reserve.~~Reserve, where they are currently anticipated to remain through at least the end of 2023.

Note 6. Income Taxes

ASC 740, Income Taxes, defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained by the taxing authority. This section also provides guidance on the derecognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties, and includes guidance concerning accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods.

The unrecognized tax benefit related to uncertain tax positions related to state income tax filings was $9.4 million and $15.8 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, Pinnacle Financial paid ~~$2.1 million and~~no taxes related to state income tax filings for tax years prior to 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Pinnacle Financial paid $6.3 million ~~respectively,~~ in taxes related to state income tax filings for tax years prior to 2023. No change was recorded to the unrecognized tax benefit related to uncertain tax positions for the three and ~~six~~nine month periods ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

Pinnacle Financial's policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. No interest and penalties were ~~recorded~~recognized during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023. No interest and penalties were recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Pinnacle Financial recognized $264,000 in interest and penalties for the ~~three and six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

Pinnacle Financial's effective tax rate for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 was ~~19.8%~~21.1% and 20.2%, respectively, compared to ~~19.9% and 19.0%, respectively,~~19.1% for both the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal and state income tax statutory rate of 25.00% and 26.14% at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, is primarily due to investments in bank qualified municipal securities, tax benefits of Pinnacle Bank's real estate investment trust subsidiary, participation in the Tennessee Community Investment Tax Credit (CITC) program, and tax benefits associated with share-based compensation, bank-owned life insurance and Pinnacle Financial's captive insurance subsidiary, offset in part by the limitation on deductibility of meals and entertainment expense, non-deductible FDIC premiums and non-deductible executive compensation.

Income tax expense is also impacted by the vesting of equity-based awards and the exercise of employee stock options, which as expense or benefit is recorded as a discrete item as a component of total income tax, the amount of which is dependent upon the change in the grant date fair value and the vest date fair value of the underlying award. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~

Table of Contents

September 30, 2023, Pinnacle Financial recognized tax expense of ~~$20,000~~$16,000 and excess tax benefits of ~~$257,000,~~$241,000, respectively, ~~compared~~with respect to the vesting of equity-based awards and the exercise of employee stock options. Pinnacle Financial recognized no excess tax benefits or expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Pinnacle Financial recognized excess tax benefits of ~~$282,000 and~~ $2.9 ~~million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.~~million.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In the normal course of business, Pinnacle Financial has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments which include commitments to extend credit (i.e., including unfunded lines of credit) and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are usually the result of lines of credit granted to existing borrowers under agreements that the total outstanding indebtedness will not exceed a specific amount during the term of the indebtedness. Typical borrowers are commercial concerns that use lines of credit to supplement their treasury management functions, thus their total outstanding indebtedness may fluctuate during any time period based on the seasonality of their business and the resultant timing of their cash flows. Other typical lines of credit are related to home equity loans granted to consumers. Commitments to extend credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may

~~Table of Contents~~

require payment of a fee. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, these commitments amounted to ~~$16.0~~$15.6 billion, of which approximately $1.8 billion related to home equity lines of credit.

Standby letters of credit are generally issued on behalf of an applicant (customer) to a specifically named beneficiary and are the result of a particular business arrangement that exists between the applicant and the beneficiary. Standby letters of credit have fixed expiration dates and are usually for terms of two years or less unless terminated beforehand due to criteria specified in the standby letter of credit. A typical arrangement involves the applicant routinely being indebted to the beneficiary for such items as inventory purchases, insurance, utilities, lease guarantees or other third party commercial transactions. The standby letter of credit would permit the beneficiary to obtain payment from Pinnacle Financial under certain prescribed circumstances. Subsequently, Pinnacle Financial would then seek reimbursement from the applicant pursuant to the terms of the standby letter of credit. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, these commitments amounted to ~~$333.0~~$326.8 million.

Pinnacle Financial typically follows the same credit policies and underwriting practices when making these commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Each customer's creditworthiness is typically evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and the amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include cash, real estate and improvements, marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and personal property.

The contractual amounts of these commitments are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements and only amounts drawn upon would be reflected in the future. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the contractual amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. However, should the commitments be drawn upon and should Pinnacle Bank's customers default on their resulting obligation to Pinnacle Bank, the maximum exposure to credit loss, without consideration of collateral, is represented by the contractual amount of those commitments. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Pinnacle Financial had accrued reserves of $21.5 million and $25.0 million, respectively, for the inherent risks associated with these off-balance sheet commitments. ~~The~~There was no provision for these unfunded commitments ~~decreased $1.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively,~~ for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 ~~compared to an increase~~and a decrease of ~~$1.0~~$3.5 million ~~and $1.5 million, respectively,~~ for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For the same periods in ~~2022.~~2022, there were increases of $500,000 and $2.0 million, respectively, to the provision for unfunded commitments.

Various legal claims also arise from time to time in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolutions of these claims outstanding at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 are not expected to have a material adverse impact on Pinnacle Financial's consolidated financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

(1)Groups include employees (referred to as associates above) and outside directors. When the restricted shares are awarded, a participant receives voting rights and forfeitable dividend rights with respect to the shares, but is not able to transfer the shares until the restrictions have lapsed. Once the restrictions lapse, the participant is taxed on the value of the award and may elect to sell some shares (or have Pinnacle Financial withhold some shares) to pay the applicable income taxes associated with the award. Alternatively, the recipient can pay the withholding taxes in cash. For time-based vesting restricted share awards, dividends paid on shares for which the forfeiture restrictions do not lapse will be recouped by Pinnacle Financial at the time of termination. For awards to Pinnacle Financial's directors, dividends are placed into escrow until the forfeiture restrictions on such shares lapse.

(2)The forfeiture restrictions on these restricted share awards lapse in equal annual installments on the anniversary date of the grant.

(3)Restricted share awards are issued to the outside members of the board of directors in accordance with their board compensation plan. Restrictions lapse on March 1, 2024 based on each individual board member meeting attendance goals for the various board and board committee meetings to which each member was scheduled to attend.

Note 9. Derivative Instruments

Financial derivatives are reported at fair value in other assets or other liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and classification as either a cash flow hedge or fair value hedge for those derivatives which are designated as part of a hedging relationship.

Pinnacle Financial's derivative instruments with certain counterparties contain legally enforceable netting that allow multiple transactions to be settled into a single amount. The fair value hedge and interest rate swaps (swaps) assets and liabilities are presented at gross fair value before the application of bilateral collateral and master netting agreements, but after the initial margin posting and daily variation margin payments made with central clearinghouse organizations. Total fair value hedge and swaps assets and liabilities are adjusted to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and cash collateral received or paid as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The resulting net fair value hedge and swaps asset and liability fair values are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. The daily settlement of the derivative exposure does not change or reset the contractual terms of the instrument.

Non-hedge derivatives

For derivatives not designated as hedges, the gain or loss is recognized in current period earnings. Pinnacle Financial enters into interest rate swaps (swaps) to facilitate customer transactions and meet their financing needs. Upon entering into these instruments to meet customer needs, Pinnacle Financial enters into offsetting positions in order to minimize the risk to Pinnacle Financial. These swaps qualify as derivatives, but are not designated as hedging instruments. The income statement impact of the offsetting positions is limited to changes in the reserve for counterparty credit risk. A summary of Pinnacle Financial's interest rate swaps to facilitate customers' transactions as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is included in the following table (in thousands):

At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, ~~and~~there were no interest rate swap agreements designated as non-hedge derivatives cleared through clearing houses. At December 31, 2022, the notional amount of interest rate swap agreements designated as non-hedge derivatives cleared through clearing houses was ~~$68.3 million and~~ $827.3 million with a fair value that approximates zero due to ~~$329,000 and~~ $56.3 million in received variation margin payments.

Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the aggregate fair value of the derivative instrument is recorded in other assets or other liabilities with any gain or loss related to changes in fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The gain or loss is reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged asset or liability affects earnings and is presented in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged asset or liability. Pinnacle Financial uses forward cash flow hedge relationships in an effort to manage future interest rate exposure. A summary of the cash flow hedge relationships as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 ~~are~~is as follows (in thousands):

The effects of Pinnacle Financial's cash flow hedge relationships on the statement of comprehensive income (loss) during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows, net of tax (in thousands):


		Amount of Loss Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)								Amount of Loss Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
		Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,					Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

The cash flow hedges were determined to be highly effective during the periods presented and as a result qualify for hedge accounting treatment. If a hedge was deemed to be ineffective, the amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) would be reclassified into a line item within the statement of income that impacts operating results. The hedge would no longer be considered effective if a portion of the hedge becomes ineffective, the item hedged is no longer in existence or Pinnacle Financial discontinues hedge accounting. Gains on cash flow hedges totaling ~~$2.3~~$2.5 million and ~~$4.7~~$7.2 million, net of tax, were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net income during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $2.5 million and ~~$5.0~~$7.5 million, net of tax, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, respectively. Approximately ~~$9.9~~$9.8 million in unrealized gains, net of tax, are expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net income over the next twelve months related to previously terminated cash flow hedges.

Derivatives designated as fair value hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is presented on the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Pinnacle Financial utilizes interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to mitigate the effect of changing interest rates on the fair values of fixed rate callable available-for-sale securities. The hedging strategy converts the fixed interest rates to variable interest rates based on ~~LIBOR,~~ federal funds rates or SOFR. These derivatives are designated as partial term hedges of selected cash flows covering specified periods of time prior to the call dates of the hedged securities. In March 2023, Pinnacle Financial entered into fair value hedges with aggregate notional amounts of $425.0 million to mitigate the effect of changing interest rates on FHLB Cincinnati (FHLB) advances with payments beginning in the first quarter of 2024. In May 2023, Pinnacle Financial entered into additional fair value hedges with aggregate notional amounts of $425.0 million to mitigate the effect of changing interest rates on FHLB advances with payments beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024 and first quarter of 2025.

In April 2022, interest rates swaps designated as fair value hedges with notional amounts totaling $164.3 million and market values totaling $14.3 million were terminated. Approximately $986,000 in gains were recognized at the time of termination and the remaining ~~$10.8~~$10.4 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 will be accreted as additional interest income on the previously hedged available-for-sale mortgage backed and municipal securities over the same period as existing purchase discounts or premiums on these securities. In September 2023, Pinnacle Financial terminated interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges with notional amounts totaling $33.6 million and recognized gains of $1.5 million at the time of termination.

Note 10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements ~~and Disclosures~~, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The definition of fair value focuses on the exit price, i.e., the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not the entry price, i.e., the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability at the measurement date. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement; not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, the fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Valuation Hierarchy

FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

•Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

•Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Assets

Securities available-for-sale – Where quoted prices are available for identical securities in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government securities and certain other financial products. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models that use observable inputs or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation and more complex pricing models or discounted cash flows are used, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Other investments – Included in other investments are investments recorded at fair value primarily in certain nonpublic investments and funds. The valuation of these nonpublic investments requires management judgment due to the absence of observable quoted market prices, inherent lack of liquidity and the long-term nature of such assets. These investments are valued initially based upon transaction price. The carrying values of other investments are adjusted either upwards or downwards from the transaction price to reflect expected exit values as evidenced by financing and sale transactions with third parties, or when determination of a valuation adjustment is confirmed through financial reports provided by the portfolio managers of the investments. A variety of factors are reviewed and monitored to assess positive and negative changes in valuation including, but not limited to, current operating performance and future expectations of the particular investment, industry valuations of comparable public companies and changes in market outlook and the third-party financing environment over time. In determining valuation adjustments resulting from the investment review process, emphasis is placed on current company performance and market conditions. These investments are included in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy if the entities and funds are not widely traded and the underlying investments are in privately-held and/or start-up companies for which market values are not readily available. Certain investments in funds for which the underlying assets of the fund represent publicly traded investments are included in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Other assets – Included in other assets are certain assets carried at fair value, including interest rate swap agreements to facilitate customer transactions, interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges, interest rate caps and floors designated as cash flow hedges

~~Table of Contents~~

and interest rate locks associated with the mortgage loan pipeline. The carrying amount of interest rate swap agreements is based on Pinnacle Financial's pricing models that utilize observable market inputs. The fair value of the cash flow hedge agreements is determined by calculating the difference between the discounted fixed rate cash flows and the discounted variable rate cash flows. The fair value of the mortgage loan pipeline is based upon the projected sales price of the underlying loans, taking into account market interest rates and other market factors at the measurement date, net of the projected fallout rate. Pinnacle Financial reflects these assets within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy as these assets are valued using similar transactions that occur in the market.

Collateral dependent loans – Collateral dependent loans are measured at the fair value of the collateral securing the loan less estimated selling costs. The fair value of real estate collateral is determined based on real estate appraisals which are generally based on recent sales of comparable properties which are then adjusted for property specific factors. Non-real estate collateral is valued based on various sources, including third party asset valuations and internally determined values based on cost adjusted for depreciation and other judgmentally determined discount factors. Collateral dependent loans are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy due to the unobservable inputs used in determining their fair value such as collateral values and the borrower's underlying financial condition.

Other real estate owned – Other real estate owned (OREO) represents real estate foreclosed upon by Pinnacle Bank through loan defaults by customers or acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure. A significant portion of these amounts relate to lots, homes and development projects that are either completed or are in various stages of completion for which Pinnacle Financial believes it has adequate collateral. Upon foreclosure, the property is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, based on appraised value, less selling costs estimated as of the date acquired with any loss recognized as a charge-off through the allowance for credit losses. Additional OREO losses for subsequent valuation downward adjustments are determined on a specific property basis and are included as a component of noninterest expense along with holding costs. Any gains or losses realized at the time of disposal are also reflected in noninterest expense, as applicable. OREO is included in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy due to the lack of observable market inputs into the determination of fair value as appraisal values are property-specific and sensitive to the changes in the overall economic environment.

Liabilities

Other liabilities – Pinnacle Financial has certain liabilities carried at fair value including certain interest rate swap agreements to facilitate customer transactions, interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges, interest rate caps and floors designated as cash flow hedges and interest rate locks associated with the funding for its mortgage loan originations. The fair value of these liabilities is based on Pinnacle Financial's pricing models that utilize observable market inputs and is reflected within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

In the case of the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio, Pinnacle Financial monitors the portfolio to ascertain when transfers between levels have been affected. The nature of the remaining assets and liabilities is such that transfers in and out of any level are expected to be rare. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, there were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3.

The table below includes a rollforward of the balance sheet amounts for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022 (including the change in fair value) for financial instruments classified by Pinnacle Financial within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy measured at fair value on a recurring basis including changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology (in thousands):

The following tables present the carrying amounts, estimated fair value and placement in the fair value hierarchy of Pinnacle Financial's financial instruments at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. This table excludes financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value. For short-term financial assets such as cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization. For financial liabilities such as non-interest bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to these products having no stated maturity (in thousands):

Note 11. Regulatory Matters

Pursuant to Tennessee banking law, Pinnacle Bank may not, without the prior consent of the Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions (TDFI), pay any dividends to Pinnacle Financial in a calendar year in excess of the total of Pinnacle Bank's retained net income for that year plus the retained net income for the preceding two years. Additionally, approval by regulatory authorities is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the regulatory capital of Pinnacle Bank to fall below specified minimum levels. Under Tennessee corporate law, Pinnacle Financial is not permitted to pay dividends if, after giving effect to such payment, it would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or its total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus any amounts needed to satisfy any preferential rights if it were dissolving. In deciding whether or not to declare a dividend of any particular size, Pinnacle Financial's board of directors must consider its and Pinnacle Bank's current and prospective capital, liquidity, and other needs. In addition to state law limitations on Pinnacle Financial's ability to pay dividends, the Federal Reserve imposes limitations on Pinnacle Financial's ability to pay dividends. Federal Reserve regulations limit dividends, stock repurchases and discretionary bonuses to executive officers if Pinnacle Financial's regulatory capital is below the level of regulatory minimums plus the applicable 2.5% capital conservation buffer.

In addition, the Federal Reserve has issued supervisory guidance advising bank holding companies to eliminate, defer or reduce dividends paid on common stock and other forms of Tier 1 capital where the company’s net income available to shareholders for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid during that period, is not sufficient to fully fund the dividends, the company’s prospective rate of earnings retention is not consistent with the company’s capital needs and overall current and prospective financial condition or the company will not meet, or is in danger of not meeting, minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios. Recent supplements to this guidance reiterate the need for bank holding companies to inform their applicable reserve bank sufficiently in advance of the proposed payment of a dividend in certain circumstances.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, Pinnacle Bank paid ~~$52.8~~$79.5 million of dividends to Pinnacle Financial. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, based on the criteria noted above Pinnacle Bank could pay approximately ~~$1.2~~$1.3 billion of additional dividends to Pinnacle Financial. Since the fourth quarter of 2013, Pinnacle Financial has paid a quarterly common stock dividend. The board of directors of Pinnacle Financial has increased the dividend amount per share over time. The most recent increase occurred on January 18, 2022 when the board of directors increased the dividend to $0.22 per common share from $0.18 per common share. During the second quarter of 2020, Pinnacle Financial issued 9.0 million depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th fractional interest in a share of Series B noncumulative, perpetual preferred stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") in a registered public offering to both retail and institutional investors. Beginning in the third quarter of 2020, Pinnacle Financial began paying a quarterly dividend of $16.88 per share (or $0.422 per depositary share), on the Series B Preferred Stock. The amount and timing of all future dividend payments by Pinnacle Financial, if any, including dividends on Pinnacle Financial's Series B Preferred Stock (and associated depositary shares), is

subject to discretion of Pinnacle Financial's board of directors and will depend on Pinnacle Financial's receipt of dividends from Pinnacle Bank, earnings, capital position, financial condition and other factors, including regulatory capital requirements, as they become known to Pinnacle Financial and receipt of any regulatory approvals that may become required as a result of each of Pinnacle Financial's or Pinnacle Bank's financial results.

Pinnacle Financial and Pinnacle Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Pinnacle Financial and Pinnacle Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Pinnacle Financial's and Pinnacle Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Pinnacle Financial and its banking subsidiary to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital to average assets.

As permitted by the interim final rule issued on March 27, 2020 by the federal banking regulatory agencies, each of Pinnacle Bank and Pinnacle Financial has elected the option to delay the estimated impact on regulatory capital of Pinnacle Financial's and Pinnacle Bank's adoption of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which was effective January 1, 2020. The initial impact of adoption of ASU 2016-13, as well as 25% of the quarterly changes in the allowance for credit losses subsequent to adoption of ASU 2016-13 (collectively the “transition adjustments”), was delayed until December 31, 2021. As of January 1, 2022, the cumulative amount of the transition adjustments became fixed and is being phased out of the regulatory capital calculations evenly over a three year period, with 75% recognized in 2022, 50% recognized in 2023 and 25% recognized in 2024. Beginning on January 1, 2025, the temporary regulatory capital benefits will be fully reversed.

Management believes, as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, that Pinnacle Financial and Pinnacle Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. To be categorized as well-capitalized under applicable banking regulations, Pinnacle Bank must maintain certain total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, common equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table and not be subject to a written agreement, order or directive to maintain a higher capital level. The capital conservation buffer is not included in the required ratios of the table presented below. Pinnacle Financial's and Pinnacle Bank's actual capital amounts and resulting ratios, not including the applicable 2.5% capital conservation buffer, are presented in the following table (in thousands):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion of our financial condition at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and our results of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022. The purpose of this discussion is to focus on information about our financial condition and results of operations which is not otherwise apparent from our consolidated financial statements. The following discussion and analysis should be read along with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere herein and the risk factors discussed elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (Form 10-K) and the other reports we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission since we filed that Form 10-K. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Pinnacle Financial," "we," "our," or similar terms refer to Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. and, where appropriate, its subsidiaries.

Overview

General. Our diluted net income per common share for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 was ~~$2.54~~$1.69 and ~~$4.30,~~$5.99, respectively, compared to ~~$1.86~~$1.91 and ~~$3.51,~~$5.42, respectively, for the same periods in 2022. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, loans increased to ~~$31.2~~$31.9 billion as compared to $29.0 billion at December 31, 2022, and total deposits increased to ~~$37.7~~$38.3 billion at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 from $35.0 billion at December 31, 2022.

Results of Operations. Our net interest income increased to ~~$315.4~~$317.2 million and ~~$627.6~~$944.9 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~$264.6~~$305.8 million and ~~$504.0~~$809.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year, representing an increase of ~~$50.8~~$11.5 million, or ~~19.2%~~3.7%, and ~~$123.6~~$135.1 million, or ~~24.5%~~16.7%, respectively. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 when compared to the comparable periods in 2022, this increase was largely the result of organic loan growth and yield expansion in our earning asset portfolio. Partially offsetting the increase in net interest income were continued increases in cost of funds compared to the prior year's comparable periods and increased levels of on-balance sheet liquidity incurred in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2023 due to macroeconomic uncertainty. The net interest margin (the ratio of net interest income to average earning assets) for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 was ~~3.20%~~3.06% and ~~3.30%~~3.22%, respectively, compared to ~~3.17%~~3.47% and ~~3.03%~~3.18%, respectively, for the same periods in 2022 and reflects the rising short-term interest rate environment and the impact of increased liquidity, as well as the competitive rate environments for loans and deposits in our markets.

Our provision for credit losses was ~~$31.7~~$26.8 million and ~~$50.5~~$77.3 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~$12.9~~$27.5 million and ~~$15.6~~$43.1 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2022. The ~~increase~~change in provision expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in 2022 is primarily ~~due~~the result of net charge-offs totaling $18.1 million and $35.2 million, respectively, compared to ~~growth~~$11.0 million and $14.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in ~~the loan portfolio and deterioration in projected macroeconomic factors used in the Company's CECL modeling due to the continued uncertainty in the economic environment.~~2022. Also contributing to provision expense for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 ~~were net charge-offs totaling $9.8 million and $17.1 million, respectively, compared to $877,000 and $3.8 million, respectively, for~~is growth in the ~~same periods~~loan portfolio as well as the continued uncertainty in ~~2022.~~the economic environment which impacts the projected macroeconomic factors used in our CECL modeling.

Noninterest income decreased by $14.0 million, or 13.4%, and increased by ~~$48.3~~$20.4 million, or ~~38.5%, and $34.4 million, or 15.0%~~6.1%, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. ~~The~~For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the increase is largely due to the $85.7 million gain on the sale of fixed assets we recognized as a result of the sale-leaseback transaction that was completed in the second quarter of ~~2023 as well as an increase in wealth~~2023. Wealth management revenues ~~which~~ were ~~$24.1~~$22.8 million and ~~$46.5~~$69.3 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~$21.8~~$19.4 million and ~~$42.5~~$61.9 million, respectively, in the same periods in the prior ~~year.~~year and also contributed to increased levels of noninterest income. These increases were offset in part by a decline in income from our equity method investment in BHG of ~~$22.5~~$16.4 million, or ~~45.6%~~39.6%, and ~~$37.1~~$53.5 million, or ~~44.7%~~43.0%, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 ~~compared to~~from the same periods in the prior year. Also offsetting the increases were ~~$10.0~~$9.7 million and ~~$61,000~~$19.7 million in net losses on the sale of investment securities during the ~~six~~three and nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $217,000 and ~~2022, respectively, as well as a $583,000 and $2.6 million, respectively, decrease~~$156,000 in net gains on ~~mortgage loans sold~~the sale of investment securities during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2023 compared to the same periods in the prior year.~~2022.

Noninterest expense increased by ~~$15.6~~$14.0 million, or ~~8.0%~~7.0%, and ~~$44.7~~$58.6 million, or ~~11.8%~~10.1%, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. Impacting noninterest expense for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 as compared to the same prior year periods was an increase of ~~$5.8 million~~$434,000 and ~~$19.7~~$20.1 million, respectively, in salaries and employee benefits. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily the result of an increase in our associate base to ~~3,309.0~~3,329.5 full-time equivalent associates at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 versus ~~3,074.0~~3,184.5 at ~~June~~September 30, 2022, as well as annual merit increases effective in January 2023. Offsetting a portion of the increase in salaries and benefits expense was a decline in cash and equity incentives which were ~~$8.4~~$12.2 million and ~~$11.3~~$23.5 million, respectively, lower in the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 than in the same prior year periods. Noninterest expense categories, other than salaries and employee benefits, were ~~$79.2~~$82.9 million and ~~$155.2~~$238.1 million, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared

to ~~$69.4~~$69.3 million and ~~$130.2~~$199.6 million, respectively, during three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, an increase of ~~14.1%~~19.5% and ~~19.2%~~19.3%, respectively. These increases are largely due to equipment and occupancy costs of ~~$33.7~~$36.9 million and ~~$64.1~~$101.0 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~$26.9~~$27.9 million and ~~$52.5~~$80.3 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. Equipment and occupancy costs were negatively impacted by higher levels of lease expenses as a result of the execution of the ~~sale-~~

Our efficiency ratio (the ratio of noninterest expense to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income) was ~~43.3%~~52.3% and ~~47.5%~~49.0%, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~50.3%~~48.5% and ~~51.7%~~50.5%, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The efficiency ratio measures the amount of expense that is incurred to generate a dollar of revenue. Our efficiency ratio deteriorated slightly during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 as a result of a decrease in noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expense. The improvement in our efficiency ratio ~~for~~during the ~~three and six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 when compared to the same ~~periods~~period in 2022 was largely the result of higher levels of net interest income and noninterest income (including as a result of the sale-leaseback transaction) during the 2023 ~~periods~~period offset in part by increased levels of noninterest expense in 2023.

During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we recorded income tax expense of ~~$48.6~~$35.4 million and ~~$82.6~~$118.0 million, respectively, compared to ~~$36.0~~$35.2 million and ~~$64.5~~$99.7 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 21.1% and 20.2%, respectively, compared to 19.1% for both the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June 30, 2023 was 19.8% compared to 19.9% and 19.0%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June~~September 30, 2022. Our tax rate in each period was impacted by, among other things, the vesting and exercise of equity-based awards previously granted under our equity-based compensation program. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, ~~$20,000 in excess~~we recognized tax expense of $16,000 and ~~$257,000 in excess benefits, respectively, were recognized compared to~~ excess tax benefits of ~~$282,000~~$241,000, respectively, in connection with the vesting and ~~$2.9 million, respectively, recognized in~~exercise of such equity-based awards. For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2022.~~2022, no excess tax benefits or expenses were recognized. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized excess tax benefits of $2.9 million.

Financial Condition. Loans increased ~~$2.1~~$2.9 billion, or ~~7.3%~~10.0%, during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 when compared to December 31, 2022. The increase is primarily the result of loans made to borrowers that principally operate or are located in our core markets, including the markets in which we recently expanded, increases in the number of relationship advisors we employ and continued focus on attracting new customers to our company. Loan growth was also positively impacted during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 by the continued growth of certain specialty lending groups, including franchise lending and equipment lease ~~financing.~~financing as well as our strategic market expansions. We have made the intentional decision to ~~tighten~~continue the tightening of our underwriting, particularly in construction and CRE investment property, during the remainder of 2023 and expect our loan growth rates over such period to reflect this tightening. Total deposits were ~~$37.7~~$38.3 billion at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to $35.0 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of ~~$2.8~~$3.3 billion, or ~~7.9%~~9.5%. Interest-bearing core deposit growth during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, increased approximately ~~$2.9~~$3.8 billion, or ~~13.3%~~17.7%, from December 31, 2022, as a result of our intentional focus on gathering and retaining these core deposits.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, our allowance for credit losses was ~~$337.5~~$346.2 million compared to $300.7 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in the allowance for credit losses is largely the result of net chargeoffs, growth in the loan portfolio and ~~deterioration in projected macroeconomic factors used in the Company's CECL modeling due to~~ the continued uncertainty in the economic ~~environment.~~environment which impacts the projected macroeconomic factors used in our CECL modeling.

Capital and Liquidity. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our capital ratios, including our bank's capital ratios, exceeded regulatory minimum capital requirements and those necessary to be considered well-capitalized under applicable federal regulations. See Note 11. Regulatory Matters in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Form 10-Q) for additional information regarding our capital ratios. From time to time we may be required to support the capital needs of our bank (Pinnacle Bank). At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately ~~$209.1~~$179.1 million of cash that could be used to support our bank. We believe we have various capital raising techniques available to us to provide for the capital needs of our company and bank, such as issuing subordinated debt or entering into a revolving credit facility with a financial institution. We also periodically evaluate capital markets conditions to identify opportunities to access those markets if necessary or prudent to support our capital levels.

On January 17, 2023, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $125.0 million of our common stock which commenced upon the expiration of the previously authorized share repurchase program that expired on March 31, 2023. The new authorization is to remain in effect through March 31, 2024. We did not repurchase any shares under either share repurchase program during 2023 or 2022.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income. Net interest income represents the amount by which interest earned on various ~~earning~~interest-earning assets exceeds interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities and is the most significant component of our revenues. Net interest income totaled ~~$315.4~~$317.2 million and ~~$627.6~~$944.9 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~$264.6~~$305.8 million and ~~$504.0~~$809.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year, representing an increase of ~~$50.8~~$11.5 million and ~~$123.6~~

Table of Contents

$135.0 million, respectively. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, when compared to the comparable periods in 2022, this increase was largely the result of organic loan growth and yield expansion in our earning asset portfolio. Partially offsetting the increases in interest income were continued increases in our cost of funds in 2023 as compared to 2022 and the effects of increased on-balance sheet liquidity in 2023.

(1) Average balances of nonperforming loans, consumer loans held-for-sale and commercial loans held-for-sale are included in the above amounts.

(2) Yields computed on tax-exempt instruments on a tax equivalent basis and include ~~$11.2~~$12.0 million of taxable equivalent income for the three months ended ~~June~~Sept. 30, 2023 compared to ~~$9.6~~$10.8 million for the three months ended ~~June~~Sept. 30, 2022. The tax-exempt benefit has been reduced by the projected impact of tax-exempt income that will be disallowed pursuant to IRS Regulations as of and for the then current period presented.

(3) Yields realized on interest-bearing assets less the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest spread calculation excludes the impact of demand deposits. Had the impact of demand deposits been included, the net interest spread for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 would have been ~~3.09%~~2.94% compared to a net interest spread of ~~3.16%~~3.44% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

(4) Net interest margin is the result of annualized net interest income calculated on a tax-equivalent basis divided by average interest-earning assets for the period.

(1) Average balances of nonperforming loans, consumer loans held-for-sale and commercial loans held-for-sale are included in the above amounts.

(2) Yields computed on tax-exempt instruments on a tax equivalent basis and include ~~$22.1~~$34.1 million of taxable equivalent income for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~Sept. 30, 2023 compared to ~~$18.1~~$28.8 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~Sept. 30, 2022. The tax-exempt benefit has been reduced by the projected impact of tax-exempt income that will be disallowed pursuant to IRS Regulations as of and for the then current period presented.

(3) Yields realized on interest-bearing assets less the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest spread calculation excludes the impact of demand deposits. Had the impact of demand deposits been included, the net interest spread for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 would have been ~~3.20%~~3.11% compared to a net interest spread of ~~3.02%~~3.16% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

(4) Net interest margin is the result of annualized net interest income calculated on a tax-equivalent basis divided by average interest-earning assets for the period.

For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, our net interest margin was ~~3.20%~~3.06% and ~~3.30%~~3.22%, respectively, compared to ~~3.17%~~3.47% and ~~3.03%~~3.18%, respectively, for the same periods in 2022. Our net interest margin for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 reflects the rising short-term interest rate environment as well as the competitive rate environments for loans and deposits in our markets and the impact of the increased on-balance sheet liquidity we incurred in the first half of 2023, and substantially maintained through the third quarter, of 2023. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, our earning asset yield increased by ~~225~~175 and ~~230~~211 basis points, respectively, from the same periods in the prior year. Conversely, our total funding rates, led by increases in interest-bearing deposits rates, increased by ~~231~~226 and ~~211~~216 basis points, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in the prior year. Thus far in 2023, the Federal Reserve has raised short-term interest rates by ~~100~~125 basis ~~points, inclusive of the 25 basis point increase on July 26, 2023.~~points. During the first half of 2023, we intentionally increased our on-balance sheet liquidity as a response to the then current macroeconomic environment and the failures of multiple high-profile financial institutions. Additionally, we currently intend to hold the proceeds from the sale-leaseback transaction and sale of investment securities completed in the second quarter of 2023 which will also elevate on-balance sheet liquidity. If we maintain higher levels of on-balance sheet liquidity as we anticipate through the end of 2023, our net interest margin would likely be negatively impacted even if the additional liquidity has minimal effect on net interest income as we sought to match the rate we are paying on this additional liquidity with the yield we are earning on the investments of those proceeds. We seek to fund increased loan volumes by growing our core deposits, but, subject to internal policy limits on the amount of non-core funding we may maintain, will utilize non-core funding to fund shortfalls, if any. To the extent that our dependence on non-core funding sources increases ~~during 2023~~ our net interest margin would likely be negatively impacted as we may not be able to reduce the rates we pay on these deposits as quickly as we can on core ~~deposits.~~deposits should rates begin to decline.

We continue to deploy various asset liability management strategies to manage our risk to interest rate fluctuations. Our ‘most likely’ forecast for short-term rates through 2024 is mostly consistent with the federal funds futures market’s expectations for rate movements. However, there is much uncertainty in the interest rate futures markets due to the persistent elevated levels of inflation present in the economy, the pace of the rate tightening cycle being led by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee and what risks these present for a recession to occur in the near and medium term.

Provision for Credit Losses. The provision for credit losses represents a charge to earnings necessary to establish an allowance for credit losses that, in management's evaluation, is adequate to provide coverage for all expected credit losses. Our provision for credit losses was ~~$31.7~~$26.8 million and ~~$50.5~~$77.3 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~$12.9~~$27.5 million and ~~$15.6~~$43.1 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2022. The provision for credit losses is impacted by growth in our loan portfolio, recent historical and projected future economic conditions, our internal assessment of the credit quality of the loan portfolio and net charge-offs. The ~~increase~~change in provision expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in 2022 is primarily ~~due to growth in~~ the loan portfolio and deterioration in projected macroeconomic factors used in the Company's CECL modeling due to the continued uncertainty in the economic environment. Also contributing to the provision expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 wereresult of net charge-offs totaling ~~$9.8~~$18.1 million and ~~$17.1~~$35.2 million, respectively, compared to ~~$877,000~~$11.0 million and ~~$3.8~~$14.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2022. Also contributing to provision expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 is growth in the loan portfolio as well as the continued uncertainty in the economic environment which impacts the projected macroeconomic factors used in our CECL modeling.

Noninterest Income. Our noninterest income is composed of several components, some of which vary significantly between quarterly and annual periods. Service charges on deposit accounts and other noninterest income generally reflect customer growth trends, while fees from our wealth management departments, gains on mortgage loans sold, gains and losses on the sale of securities and gains and losses on the sale of fixed assets or losses related to our efforts to mitigate risks associated with interest rate volatility will often reflect financial market conditions or our asset/liability management efforts and fluctuate from period to period.

The following is a summary of our noninterest income for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

The increase in service charges on deposit accounts during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 is the result of increased transaction volumes in commercial checking accounts which we believe is the result of the increased economic activity in our markets in each of the periods presented, offset in part by the impact of our decision in the second half of 2022 to eliminate or reduce certain of the fees we charge on overdrawn accounts or when accounts lack sufficient funds to cover presented items among other changes to these practices.

Income from our wealth management groups (investments, insurance and trust) is also included in noninterest income and has fluctuated during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 due in large part to market volatility. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, commissions and fees from investment services at our financial advisory unit, Pinnacle Asset Management, a division of Pinnacle Bank, and fees from our wealth advisory group, PNFP Capital Markets, Inc., increased by approximately ~~$969,000~~$2.5 million and ~~$1.9~~$4.3 million, respectively, when compared to the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, Pinnacle Asset Management was receiving commissions and fees in connection with approximately $9.0 billion and ~~$6.8~~$7.2 billion, respectively, in brokerage assets. Revenues from the sale of insurance products by our insurance subsidiaries for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 decreased by $46,000 and increased by ~~$698,000 and~~ $1.1 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Included in insurance revenues for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 was ~~$1.6~~$1.7 million of contingent income that was recorded in the period but based on 2022 sales production and claims experience compared to $1.4 million recorded in the same period in the prior ~~year.~~year that was based on 2021 sales production. Additionally, at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 our trust department was receiving fees on approximately ~~$5.1~~$5.0 billion of managed assets compared to $4.2 billion at ~~June~~September 30, 2022. We believe the improvement in the results of our wealth management businesses during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 when compared to the comparable periods in 2022 is primarily attributable to an increased number of wealth management advisors and corresponding client acquisition.

Gains on mortgage loans sold, net, consists of fees from the origination and sale of mortgage loans. These mortgage fees are for loans primarily originated in our current markets that are subsequently sold to third-party investors. Substantially all of these loan sales transfer servicing rights to the buyer. Generally, mortgage origination fees increase in lower interest rate environments and more robust housing markets and decrease in rising or higher interest rate environments and more challenging housing markets. Mortgage origination fees will fluctuate from quarter to quarter as the rate environment changes. Gains on mortgage loans sold, net, were ~~$1.6~~$2.0 million and ~~$3.6~~$5.6 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~$2.2~~$1.1 million and ~~$6.2~~$7.3 million, respectively, for the same periods in the prior year. ~~This~~The year-over-year decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is the direct result of the increases in the rate environment negatively impacting both refinancing and new purchase originations. We hedge a portion of our mortgage pipeline as part of a mandatory delivery program whereby the hedge protects against changes in the fair value of the pipeline. The hedge is not designated as a hedge for U.S. GAAP purposes and, as such, changes in its fair value are recorded directly through the income statement. The change in the fair value of the outstanding mortgage pipeline at the end of any reporting period will directly impact the amount of gain recorded for mortgage loans held for sale during that reporting period. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the mortgage pipeline included ~~$99.6~~$81.6 million in loans expected to close in 2023 compared to ~~$93.4~~$74.7 million in loans at ~~June~~September 30, 2022 expected to close in 2022.

Gains on the sale of fixed assets were ~~$85.7 million~~$87,000 and $85.9 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~$65,000~~$227,000 and ~~$198,000,~~$425,000, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The increase in gains on the sale of fixed assets for the ~~three and six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 ~~were~~was primarily the result of the sale-leaseback transaction which was completed in the second quarter of ~~2023. During the second quarter of~~ 2023 ~~Pinnacle Bank consummated a sale-leaseback transaction pursuant to which it sold~~and included a combined 49 properties to two unaffiliated entities, PNB TN Portfolio Owner LLC and PNB Portfolio Owner, LLC (each, a "Purchaser" and collectively, the "Purchasers"), each of whom is an affiliate of Oak Street Real Estate Capital, for ~~an aggregate cash purchase price of $198.2 million and concurrently agreed to~~which Pinnacle Bank will separately lease each of those properties for an initial term of 14.5 years, with two five (5) year renewal options that ~~Pinnacle Bank~~ may be exercise ~~to extend the term of any of the~~

Table of Contents

to extend the term of any of the leases. The pre-tax, net gain recorded associated with the sale of these 49 properties was $85.7 million, after deducting transaction-related expenses. The aggregate annual lease expense associated with these properties will be approximately $17.0 million for the first twelve months of the lease term, with each lease including a 1.9% annual rent escalation during the initial term, and a 2% annual rent escalation during each of the two five-year renewal terms, if exercised.

Investment gains and losses on sales, net, represent the net gains and losses on sales of investment securities in our available-for-sale securities portfolio during the periods noted. ~~Subsequent to~~During the ~~execution of the sale-leaseback transaction during the second quarter of~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we ~~restructured a portion of our bond portfolio selling $173.5~~sold $129.6 million ~~in investment securities for a net loss of approximately $10.0~~and $303.1 million, ~~which will offset a portion of the net gain recognized from the sale-leaseback transaction. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold $2.9 million~~respectively, of securities for net losses of $9.7 million and $19.7 million compared to sales of $26.6 million and $29.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, of securities for net gains of $217,000 and $156,000, respectively. For any securities classified as available-for-sale that are in an unrealized loss position at the balance sheet date, we assess whether or not we intend to sell the security, or more likely than not will be required to sell the security, before recovery of its amortized cost basis which would require a write-down to fair value through net income. Because we currently do not intend to sell those available-for-sale securities that have an unrealized loss at September 30, 2023, and it is not more-likely-than-not that we will be required to sell the securities before recovery of ~~approximately $61,000.~~their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, we have determined that no write-down is necessary.

The proceeds of the sale-leaseback transaction and above-noted securities sales have been retained in Pinnacle Bank's cash accounts at the Federal Reserve, where we currently anticipate they will remain at least through the end of 2023.

Income from equity-method investment. Income from equity-method investment is comprised solely of income from our 49% equity-method investment in BHG. Prior to September 30, 2022, we held a portion of this investment at Pinnacle Financial and a portion at Pinnacle Bank. Effective September 30, 2022, Pinnacle Financial contributed 100% of the equity interests of BHG owned by it to Pinnacle Bank. BHG is engaged in the origination of commercial and consumer loans largely to healthcare providers and other skilled professionals throughout the United States. The loans originated by BHG are either financed by secured borrowings or sold to independent financial institutions and investors.

Income from this equity-method investment was ~~$26.9~~$25.0 million and ~~$46.0~~$71.0 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~$49.5~~$41.3 million and ~~$83.1~~$124.5 million, respectively, for the same periods last year. As more fully described below, the decrease in income from BHG during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in the prior year is largely the result of increases in (i) the liability for estimated future inherent losses for the outstanding core portfolio of loans sold to banks through the auction platform that may be subject to future substitution due to payment default or prepayment and (ii) the allowance for loan losses for loans BHG has retained on its balance sheet due to the uncertain economic environment. Historically, BHG has sold the majority of the loans it originates to a network of bank purchasers through a combination of online auctions, direct sales and its direct purchase option. In recent years, BHG began an effort to retain more loans on its balance sheet. BHG’s decision to sell loans through its auction platform (or, recently, directly to institutional investors) or retain loans on its balance sheet will be impacted by a variety of factors, including interest rates as well as demand levels from the community bank network of buyers and institutional buyers to whom BHG markets these loans. In a rising rate environment, itBHG may choose to sell more loans if the cost of financing loans on its balance sheet is not as attractive as a sale, either directly, such as during the second ~~quarter~~and third quarters of 2023 when BHG sold loans totaling approximately $550 million and $400 million, respectively, to asset ~~mangers,~~managers, or through its auction platform. Since 2020, BHG has completed seven securitizations totaling $2.4 billion, with the latest securitization of $265 million having been completed in the first quarter of 2023. ~~Additionally,~~ BHG also entered into funding facilities in the fourth quarter of 2022 and first quarter of 2023 including a facility with a U.S. asset manager with outstanding balances of ~~$591~~$560 million and $454 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and an annualized interest rate at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 of approximately ~~7.91%~~7.90%. These facilities, which are secured by loans on BHG's balance sheet, represent incremental funding sources to BHG. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2023, BHG recorded several expenses related to the write down of a building that BHG anticipates selling as well as certain software assets and other items that were related to business lines that BHG has elected to exit. These charges amounted to approximately $10.0 million during the third quarter of 2023.

Income from equity-method investment is recorded net of amortization expense associated with customer lists and other intangible assets associated with Pinnacle Bank's investment in BHG of ~~$87,000~~$88,000 and ~~$174,000,~~$262,000, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to $128,000 and ~~$256,000,~~$384,000, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, there were $6.1 million of these intangible assets that are expected to be amortized in lesser amounts over the next 12 years. Also included in income from equity-method investment is accretion income associated with the fair valuation of certain of BHG's liabilities of ~~$45,000~~$43,000 and ~~$140,000,~~$183,000, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, compared to ~~$188,000~~$164,000 and ~~$431,000,~~$595,000, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, there were $300,000 of these liabilities that are expected to accrete into income in lesser amounts over the next three years.

BHG compared to loan purchases of ~~$76.0~~$49.6 million and $125.6 million, respectively, from BHG during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were ~~$305.2~~$283.6 million and $350.6 million, respectively, of BHG joint venture program loans held by Pinnacle Bank. These loans were purchased at par from BHG by Pinnacle Bank and whereby BHG and Pinnacle Bank share proportionately in the credit risk of the acquired loans based on the rate on the loan and the rate of the purchase. The yield on this portfolio to Pinnacle Bank is anticipated to be between 4.50% and 6.00% per annum.

~~Table of Contents~~

For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, BHG reported $311.3 million and ~~$613.3~~$924.6 million, respectively, in revenues, net of substitution and prepayment losses of ~~$72.4~~$52.4 million and ~~$142.3~~$194.7 million, respectively, compared to revenues of ~~$297.9~~$293.4 million and ~~$536.6~~$830.0 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, net of substitution and prepayment losses of ~~$50.2~~$49.3 million and ~~$98.9~~$148.2 million, respectively. Earnings from BHG are likely to fluctuate from period-to-period. Approximately ~~$150.9~~$147.9 million and ~~$303.1~~$451.0 million, respectively, or ~~48.5%~~47.5% and ~~49.4%~~48.8%, respectively, of BHG's revenues for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 related to gains on the sale of commercial and consumer loans compared to ~~$190.0~~$167.6 million and ~~$338.0~~$505.6 million, respectively, or ~~63.8%~~57.1% and ~~63.0%~~60.9%, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. These loans have typically been sold by BHG with no recourse to a network of community banks and other financial institutions at a premium to the par value of the loan, although the purchaser may access a BHG cash reserve account of up to 3% of the loan balance to support loan payments. BHG retains no servicing or other responsibilities related to the core product loan once sold. As a result, this gain on sale premium represents BHG's compensation for absorbing the costs to originate the loan as well as marketing expenses associated with maintaining its business model. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were ~~$6.3~~$6.4 billion and ~~$4.7~~$5.1 billion, respectively, of these loans previously sold by BHG that were being actively serviced by ~~BHG's network of bank purchasers.~~the purchasing banks. BHG, at its sole option, may also provide purchasers of these loans the ability to substitute the acquired loan with another more recently-issued BHG loan should the previously-acquired loan become at least 90-days past due as to its monthly payments. As a result, BHG maintained a liability as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022 of ~~$369.0~~$350.3 million and ~~$234.9~~$270.3 million, respectively, that represents an estimate of the future inherent losses for the outstanding core portfolio that may be subject to future substitution due to payment default or prepayment. This liability represents ~~5.9%~~5.5% and ~~5.0%~~5.3%, respectively, of core product loans previously sold by BHG that remain outstanding as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in this liability as a percentage of core product loans during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to the comparable period ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 was principally the result of an increase in the amount of loans sold by BHG to financial institutions and increases in BHG management's estimate of future substitution losses due to economic uncertainty.

In addition to these loans that BHG sells into its auction market or directly to institutional investors, at ~~June~~September 30, 2023, BHG reported loans that remained on BHG's balance sheet totaling ~~$3.8~~$3.6 billion compared to ~~$2.9~~$3.3 billion as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022. A portion of these loans do not qualify for sale accounting and accordingly an offsetting secured borrowing liability has been recorded. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, BHG had ~~$2.9~~$2.8 billion and ~~$2.1~~$2.4 billion, respectively, of secured borrowings associated with loans held for investment. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, BHG reported allowance for loan losses totaling ~~$195.7~~$213.5 million and ~~$75.8~~$101.3 million, respectively, with respect to the loans on its balance sheet. The increase in allowance for loan losses for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 was principally the result of growth in the balance sheet loan portfolio and the uncertain economic environment. We anticipate that BHG will increase the level of allowance for loan losses for the remainder of 2023 given the current macroeconomic environment and ~~impending~~BHG's adoption of CECL. Prior to October 1, 2023, BHG ~~records~~recorded its allowance for loan losses under the incurred loss method, but ~~will be required to adopt~~adopted CECL effective October 1, 2023. Interest income and fees associated with these on-balance sheet loans amounted to ~~$144.1~~$142.2 million and ~~$286.7~~$428.9 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~$98.1~~$116.3 million and ~~$181.3~~$297.6 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

Included in our other noninterest income are interchange and other consumer fees, gains from bank-owned life insurance, swap fees earned for the facilitation of derivative transactions for our clients, SBA loan sales, gains or losses on other equity investments and other noninterest income items. Interchange revenues ~~decreased 10.4%~~increased 2.9% and ~~increased less than 1%~~1.4%, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in 2022 as a result of ~~fluctuations~~increases in debit and credit card usage during these periods. Loan swap fees ~~decreased $293,000~~increased $274,000 and ~~increased $540,000,~~$814,000, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase in ~~the year-to-date 2023 period~~swap fees is due primarily to recent hires and an emphasis on rate swaps due to the current interest rate environment. Other noninterest income included changes in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance which was ~~$5.7~~$5.8 million and ~~$11.3~~$17.1 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~$5.1~~$5.7 million and ~~$9.8~~$15.4 million, respectively, in the same periods in the prior year. The assets that support these policies are administered by the life insurance carriers and the income we recognize (i.e., increases or decreases in the cash surrender value of the policies) on these policies is dependent upon the crediting rates applied by the insurance carriers, which are subject to change at the discretion of the carriers, subject to any applicable floors. Earnings on these policies generally are not taxable. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2022 and year ended December, 31,~~ 2022, we purchased an additional ~~$75 million and~~ $100 million ~~respectively,~~ of ~~bank owned~~bank-owned life insurance. No additional purchases have been made thus far in 2023. SBA loan sales are included in other noninterest income and decreased by ~~$104,000~~$851,000 and ~~$2.5~~$3.3 million, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 when compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to the changing market conditions during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 as compared

Additionally, the carrying values of other equity investments are adjusted either upwards or downwards from the transaction price to reflect expected exit values as evidenced by financing and sale transactions with third parties, or when determination of a valuation adjustment is confirmed through financial reports provided by the portfolio managers of the investment. Income related to these investments ~~decreased $5.4~~increased $5.1 million and ~~$4.7 million,~~$407,000, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 when compared to the same periods in the prior ~~year as a~~year.

2023. The other components of other noninterest income increased ~~$116,000~~$1.2 million and decreased ~~$2.1 million,~~$844,000, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 is largely the result of recording a $5.5 million gain during the three months ended March 31, 2022 on remeasurement of our previously held equity investment in JB&B, resulting from our bank subsidiary's acquisition on March 1, 2022 of the 80% equity interests of JB&B it did not previously ~~own.~~own offset by a $2.3 million decrease in losses on CRA investment and $1.1 million increases in both gains on life insurance claims and gains on the sale of other assets.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense consists of salaries and employee benefits, equipment and occupancy expenses, other real estate expenses and other operating expenses. The following is a summary of our noninterest expense for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Total salaries and employee benefits expenses increased ~~$5.8 million~~$434,000 and ~~$19.7~~$20.1 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. The change in salaries and employee benefits was largely the result of an increase in our associate base in 2023 versus 2022 as well as annual merit increases effective in January 2023, partially offset by a reduction in cash and equity incentive costs. Our associate base increased to ~~3,309.0~~3,329.5 full-time equivalent associates at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 from ~~3,074.0~~3,184.5 at ~~June~~September 30, 2022. We expect total salary and benefit expenses infor the year-ended 2023 to increase when compared to the comparable ~~periods~~period in 2022 as we continue our focus on hiring experienced bankers in all of our markets during the fourth quarter, though cash and equity incentive costs are likely to decrease when compared to the comparative ~~periods~~period in 2022 as a result of our expected performance.

We believe that cash and equity incentives are a valuable tool in motivating an associate base that is focused on providing our clients effective financial advice and increasing shareholder value. As a result, and unlike many other financial institutions, all of our bank's non-commissioned associates participate in our annual cash incentive plan with a minimum targeted bonus equal to 10% of each associate's annual salary, and all of our bank's associates participate in our equity compensation plans. Under the 2023 annual cash incentive plan, the targeted level of incentive payments requires achievement of a certain soundness threshold and a targeted level of

Table of Contents

annual earnings per common share and annual revenues (subject to certain adjustments). To the extent that the soundness threshold is met and earnings per common share and revenues are above or below the targeted amount, the aggregate incentive payments are increased or decreased. Historically, we have paid between 0% and 125% of our targeted incentives. For 2023, our annual incentive plan provides for maximum payouts of up to 125% of target.

Cash incentive expense for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 totaled ~~$23.5~~$8.4 million and ~~$46.4~~$35.4 million, respectively, compared to ~~$31.8~~$20.1 million and ~~$57.7~~$57.6 million, respectively, during the same prior year periods due to our assumption at the end of the ~~second~~third quarter of 2023 that we would likely achieve a ~~lower~~below target payout percentage in 2023 which would be lower than what we paid out under our 2022 plan.

~~Table of Contents~~

Also included in cash and equity incentives for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 were approximately $4.2 million and ~~$8.3~~$12.5 million, respectively, of compensation expenses related to equity-based restricted share awards compared to $3.6 million and ~~$7.2~~$10.8 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022 as well as approximately ~~$5.1~~$5.9 million and ~~$11.1~~$17.1 million, respectively, of compensation expenses related to equity-based restricted share units with either time-based or performance-based vesting criteria compared to $7.1 million and ~~$13.0~~$20.1 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. We have not issued stock options since 2008. Under our equity incentive plans, we provide a broad-based equity incentive program for all of our bank's associates, a significant percentage of which is performance-based for our senior executive officers. The decrease in equity-based incentive expense in the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 when compared to the comparable periods in 2022 is also the result of managements' assumption at the end of the ~~second~~third quarter of 2023 that we would likely achieve a lower percentage payout on the restricted stock units with performance-based vesting criteria in 2023 than was achieved in 2022. We believe that equity incentives provide a vehicle for all associates to become meaningful shareholders of Pinnacle Financial over an extended period of time and create a shareholder-centric culture throughout our organization.

Employee benefits and other expenses include costs associated with our 401k plan, health insurance, payroll taxes and contract labor. These expenses increased by ~~$2.5~~$2.2 million and ~~$5.4~~$7.6 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to the same prior year periods. These increases reflect the increase in our associate base in the respective periods, and in the case of our health insurance costs, increases in the premiums we paid for this coverage in 2023 compared to 2022 premium levels.

Equipment and occupancy expenses for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 were ~~$33.7~~$36.9 million and ~~$64.1~~$101.0 million, respectively, compared to ~~$26.9~~$27.9 million and ~~$52.5~~$80.3 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The increases are in part the result of the eight new offices that have opened since the end of the second quarter of 2022 as well as the initial impact of increased rent expense associated with the properties involved in the sale-leaseback transaction we completed during the second quarter 2023, as discussed in detail elsewhere in this report. We estimate that our aggregate lease expense under these leases will approximate $17.0 million for the first twelve months of the term of those leases.2023.

Additionally, we expect to incur costs in future periods as we enhance our established locations across the franchise and further develop our technology infrastructure. During 2021, we announced our intention to move our corporate headquarters to an office tower under construction in Nashville, where we will be a founding partner and sponsor of the project. This move is currently planned for 2025. We expect our equipment and occupancy costs will increase as we plan for this move.

Marketing and business development expense for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 was ~~$5.7~~$5.5 million and ~~$11.6~~$17.1 million, respectively, compared to ~~$4.8~~$5.0 million and ~~$8.5~~$13.5 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. The primary source of the increase for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in 2022 is the result of increased and intentional associate engagement events during ~~the first half of~~ 2023. We expect these costs to rise modestly during the remainder of 2023 taking into account anticipated increases associated with the associates we have hired in the last twelve months.

These assets are being amortized on an accelerated basis which reflects the anticipated life of the underlying assets. Annual amortization expense of these intangibles is estimated to decrease from ~~$6.7~~$6.5 million to $1.2 million per year over the next five years with lesser amounts for the remaining amortization period.

Other noninterest expenses, which consists primarily of deposit, lending, wealth management and administrative expenses increased by ~~$1.8~~$4.2 million and ~~$9.7~~$13.9 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 when compared to the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. Lending related expense decreased by ~~$3.3 million~~$716,000 and ~~$1.2~~$1.9 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 when compared to the same periods in the prior year. This decrease is primarily the result of decreased expense associated with our commercial credit card programs for which transaction volumes also decreased in the period. Deposit related expense increased by ~~$4.6~~$7.4 million and ~~$7.6~~$15.1 million, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 when compared to the same periods in 2022 due primarily to increases in FDIC insurance assessments as well as operational costs associated with increased deposit volumes during the period. ~~With the failures in 2023 of multiple high-profile financial institutions,~~Additionally, we ~~anticipate that the~~are anticipating an FDIC ~~may further raise our~~ deposit insurance assessment ~~percentages as it seeks~~ to rebuild the deposit insurance fund following ~~these failures.~~the failures of multiple high-profile financial institutions in early 2023 will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023. Wealth management related expenses ~~remained relatively flat~~ during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 grew $144,000 and $396,000, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2022. Other noninterest expenses decreased $2.6 million and increased ~~$505,000 and $3.0 million,~~$354,000, respectively, during the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 as compared to the same periods in 2022 due in part to ~~increases~~reductions in consultant and legal fees offset by increased contributions and other miscellaneous expense items.

Our efficiency ratio (the ratio of noninterest expense to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income) was ~~43.3%~~52.3% and ~~47.5%~~49.0%, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~50.3%~~48.5% and ~~51.7%~~50.5%, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. ~~The~~Our efficiency ratio ~~for~~deteriorated slightly during the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to the same ~~periods~~period in 2022 as a result of a decrease in noninterest income and an increase in noninterest expense. The improvement in our efficiency ratio during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 when compared to the same period in 2022 was ~~positively impacted by~~largely the ~~effect~~result of ~~the current rising interest rate environment on our~~higher levels of net interest income and ~~gains on the sale of fixed assets~~noninterest income (including as a result of the sale-leaseback ~~transaction that was completed in~~transaction) during the ~~second quarter of~~ 2023 period offset in part by ~~the negative impact~~increased levels of ~~increased~~ noninterest expense ~~during the periods as a result of increased salaries and employee benefits and increased occupancy costs as a result of the sale-leaseback transaction and a decrease~~ in ~~the amount of income from our equity method investment in BHG and gains on mortgage loans sold.~~

2023.

Income Taxes. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we recorded income tax expense of ~~$48.6~~$35.4 million and ~~$82.6~~$118.0 million, respectively, compared to ~~$36.0~~$35.2 million and ~~$64.5~~$99.7 million, respectively, for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. Our effective tax rate for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 was ~~19.8%~~21.1% and 20.2%, respectively, compared to ~~19.9% and 19.0%, respectively,~~19.1% for both the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022. Our effective tax rate differs from the combined federal and state income tax statutory rate in effect of 25.00% at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 26.14% at ~~June~~September 30, 2022 primarily due to our investments in bank-qualified municipal securities, tax benefits from our real estate investment trust subsidiary, participation in Tennessee's Community Investment Tax Credit (CITC) program, tax benefits associated with share-based compensation, bank-owned life insurance and our captive insurance subsidiary, offset in part by the limitation on deductibility of meals and entertainment expense, non-deductible FDIC insurance premiums and non-deductible executive compensation. Our tax rate in each period was also impacted by the vesting and exercise of equity-based awards previously granted under our equity-based compensation program. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, ~~$20,000 in excess~~we recognized tax expense of $16,000 and ~~$257,000 in excess tax benefits, respectively, were recognized compared to~~ excess tax benefits of ~~$282,000~~$241,000, respectively, related to the vesting and ~~$2.9 million, respectively, recognized in~~exercise of equity-based awards. For the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June~~September 30, ~~2022.~~2022, no excess tax benefits or expenses were recognized. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized excess tax benefits of $2.9 million.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, our loan portfolio composition had changed slightly from the composition at December 31, 2022 with commercial real estate and commercial and industrial lending generally continuing to make up the largest segments of our portfolio. At ~~June~~September 30,

~~Table of Contents~~

2023, approximately ~~34.9%~~34.6% of the outstanding principal balance of our commercial real estate loans was secured by owner occupied commercial real estate properties compared to 35.4% at December 31, 2022. Owner occupied commercial real estate is similar in many ways to our commercial and industrial lending in that these loans are generally made to businesses on the basis of the cash flows of the business rather than on the valuation of the real estate. Additionally, the construction and land development loan segment continues to be a meaningful portion of our portfolio and reflects the development and growth of the local communities in which we operate and is diversified between commercial, residential and land.

Lending Concentrations. We periodically analyze our loan portfolio to determine if a concentration of credit risk exists to any one or more industries. We use broadly accepted industry classification systems in order to classify borrowers into various industry classifications. We have a credit exposure (loans outstanding plus unfunded commitments) exceeding 25% of Pinnacle Bank's total risk-based capital to borrowers in the following industries at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):


		June 30, 2023									September 30, 2023

Banking regulations have established guidelines for the construction ratio of less than 100% of total risk-based capital and for the non-owner occupied ratio of less than 300% of total risk-based capital. Should a bank’s ratios be in excess of these guidelines, banking regulations generally require an increased level of monitoring in these lending areas by bank management. Both ratios are calculated by dividing certain types of loan balances for each of the two categories by Pinnacle Bank’s total risk-based capital. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, Pinnacle Bank’s construction and land development loans as a percentage of total risk-based capital were ~~84.5%~~83.1% compared to 85.9% at December 31, 2022. Construction and land development, non-owner occupied commercial real estate and multifamily loans as a percentage of total risk-based capital were ~~256.7%~~256.4% and 249.6% as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, Pinnacle Bank was within the 100% and 300% guidelines and has established what it believes to be appropriate controls to monitor and regulate its lending in these areas as it aims to keep the level of these loans to below the 100% and 300% thresholds.

The following table presents the maturity distribution of our loan portfolio by loan segment at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 according to contractual maturities of (1) one year or less, (2) after one but within five years, (3) after five but within fifteen years and (4) after fifteen years. The table also presents the portion of loans by loan segment that have fixed interest rates or variable interest rates that fluctuate over the life of the loans in accordance with changes in an interest rate index (dollars in thousands):

Potential problem loans, which are not included in nonperforming assets, amounted to approximately ~~$98.9~~$134.5 million, or ~~0.3%~~0.4% of total loans at ~~June~~September 30, 2023, compared to $53.8 million, or 0.2% of total loans at December 31, 2022. The majority of the increase was attributable to risk rating downgrades in the non-owner occupied commercial real estate and

commercial and industrial portfolios. Potential problem loans represent those loans with a well-defined weakness and where information about possible credit problems of borrowers has caused management to have doubts about the borrower's ability to comply with present repayment terms. This definition is believed to be substantially consistent with the standards established by Pinnacle Bank's primary regulators, for loans classified as substandard, or worse, but not considered nonperforming loans. ~~Potential~~None of the potential problem loans ~~totaling $333,000~~ were past due at least 30 days but less than 90 days as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023.

Nonperforming Assets and Modified Loans. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we had ~~$47.4~~$46.0 million in nonperforming assets compared to $46.1 million at December 31, 2022. Included in nonperforming assets were ~~$44.3~~$43.0 million in nonaccrual loans and ~~$3.1~~$3.0 million in OREO and other nonperforming assets at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and $38.1 million in nonaccrual loans and $8.0 million in OREO and other nonperforming assets at December 31, 2022. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, there were ~~$2.4~~$33.4 million of modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, all of which were accruing as of the modification date and remain on accrual status.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans (ACL). On January 1, 2020, we adopted FASB ASU 2016-13, which introduced the current expected credit losses (CECL) methodology and required us to estimate all expected credit losses over the remaining life of our loan portfolio. Accordingly, the ACL represents an amount that, in management's evaluation, is adequate to provide coverage for all expected future credit losses on outstanding loans. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our ACL was approximately ~~$337.5~~$346.2 million and $300.7 million, respectively, which our management believed to be adequate at each of the respective dates. Our ACL as a

~~Table of Contents~~

percentage of total loans was 1.08% at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to 1.04% at December 31, 2022. During the second quarter of 2023, we implemented updated CECL models in an effort to ensure that risk in our portfolio at an individual loan level continues to be adequately captured given the uncertain state of the economy. The implementation of the new model had no material effect on the overall allowance for credit losses in the ~~quarter.~~quarter of implementation.

Our CECL models rely largely on recent historical and projected future macroeconomic conditions to estimate future credit losses. Macroeconomic factors used in the model include the unadjusted and seasonally adjusted national unemployment rate, GDP, commercial property price index, consumer credit, commercial real estate price index, household debt ratio, household financial obligations ratio, and certain home price indices. Projections of these macroeconomic factors, obtained from an independent third party, are utilized to predict quarterly rates of default.

Losses are predicted over a period of time determined to be reasonable and supportable, and at the end of the reasonable and supportable period losses are reverted to long term historical averages. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, a reasonable and supportable period of eighteen months, as compared to twenty-four months at December 31, 2022, ~~and March 31, 2023,~~ was utilized for all loan segments followed by a twelve month straight line reversion period to long term averages. The change in the reasonable and supportable period ~~during the period~~is supported by the continued uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment and, as such, an uncertainty in projected forecasted macroeconomic variables utilized in our CECL models.

The following table sets forth, based on management's estimate, the allocation of the allowance for credit losses on loans to categories of loans and loan balances by category and the percentage of loans in each category to total loans and allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans within each loan category as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

Pinnacle Financial's management assesses the adequacy of the ACL on a quarterly basis. This assessment includes procedures to estimate the ACL and test the adequacy and appropriateness of the resulting balance. The level of the ACL is based upon management's evaluation of historical default and loss experience, current and projected economic conditions, asset quality trends, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay the loan (including the timing of future payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, industry and peer bank loan quality indications and other pertinent factors, including regulatory recommendations. The ACL is increased by provisions charged to expense and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries of amounts previously charged-off.

Based upon our evaluation of the loan portfolio, we believe the ACL to be adequate to absorb our estimate of expected future credit losses on loans outstanding at ~~June~~September 30, 2023. While our policies and procedures used to estimate the ACL as well as the resultant provision for credit losses charged to operations are considered adequate by management, they are necessarily approximate and imprecise. There are factors beyond our control, such as conditions in the local and national economy, local real estate markets or a particular industry or borrower which may negatively impact, materially, our asset quality and the adequacy of our ACL and, thus, the resulting provision for credit losses.

Investments. Our investment securities portfolio, consisting primarily of U.S. Treasury securities, Federal agency bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and state and municipal securities, amounted to $6.9 billion and $6.6 billion at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Our investment portfolio serves many purposes including serving as a stable source of income, as collateral for public funds deposits and as a potential liquidity source. A summary of our investment portfolio at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 follows:

Restricted Cash. Our restricted cash balances totaled approximately ~~$22.6~~$17.4 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to $31.4 million at December 31, 2022. This restricted cash is maintained at other financial institutions as collateral primarily for our derivative portfolio. The decrease in restricted cash is attributable primarily to a decrease in collateral requirements on certain derivative instruments for which the fair value has increased. See Note 9. Derivative Instruments in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Securities Purchased with Agreement to Resell. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had ~~$507.2~~$500.0 million and $513.3 million, respectively, in securities purchased with agreement to resell. This balance is the result of repurchase agreement transactions with financial institution counterparties. We initially secured these investments to allow us to deploy some of our excess liquidity position into instruments that improved the return on funds in the then current historically low interest rate environment. The current repurchase agreements are set to mature in 2026.

Deposits and Other Borrowings. We had approximately ~~$37.7~~$38.3 billion of deposits at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to $35.0 billion at December 31, 2022. Our deposits consist of noninterest and interest-bearing demand accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts and time deposits. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we estimate that we had approximately ~~$13.1~~$11.1 billion and $15.7 billion, respectively, in uninsured deposits, which are the portion of deposit accounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit. Included in

~~Table of Contents~~

our uninsured deposits at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we estimate that we had approximately ~~$2.6~~$2.1 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively, in deposits which are collateralized. We routinely enter into agreements with certain customers to sell certain securities under agreements to repurchase the security the following day. These agreements (which are typically associated with comprehensive treasury management programs for our clients and provide them with short-term returns for their excess funds) amounted to ~~$163.8~~$196.0 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and $194.9 million at December 31, 2022. Additionally, at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Pinnacle Bank had borrowed ~~$2.2~~$2.1 billion and $464.4 million, respectively, in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB). The increase in FHLB advances during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 was the result of our decision in the first half of 2023 to increase our levels of on-balance sheet liquidity in response to the current economic environment and its impact on the banking sector following the failures of multiple high-profile banking institutions. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, Pinnacle Bank had approximately ~~$2.9~~$3.0 billion in additional availability with the FHLB; however, incremental borrowings are subject to applicable collateral requirements and are made in a formal request by Pinnacle Bank and the subsequent approval by the FHLB.

Generally, we have classified our funding base as either core funding or noncore funding as shown in the table below. The following table represents the balances of our deposits and other funding, the average rate paid for each type and the percentage of each type to the total at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

(1)The reciprocating categories consists of time and money market deposits we receive from a bank network (the IntraFi network) in connection with deposits of our customers in excess of our FDIC coverage limit that we place with the IntraFi network. Regulatory guidance defines reciprocating deposits in a portfolio of a bank of our size over and above $5.0 billion as non-core funding. However, we have witnessed no distinction in the behavior of the deposits in our portfolio over and above $5.0 billion versus the deposits up to $5.0 billion. Therefore, we have included the entire portfolio of reciprocating deposits in the table above as core funding.

Table of Contents

As noted in the table above, our core funding as a percentage of total funding declined moving from 86.8% at December 31, 2022 to ~~80.9%~~81.9% at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 but remained above internal policies. We created and implemented several deposit gathering initiatives in 2022 in anticipation of the more challenging deposit gathering environment. We remain optimistic that we will be able to grow our levels of core funding as needed to fund our balance sheet in a sound manner, though during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2023, in response to the current macroeconomic environment, we elected to increase our levels of on-balance sheet liquidity. This increase was funded by a combination of increased core deposits, increased FHLB advances and increases in brokered ~~time~~ deposits. When wholesale funding is necessary to complement the company's core deposit base, management determines which source is best suited to address both liquidity risk management and interest rate risk management objectives. Our Asset Liability Management Policy imposes limitations on overall wholesale funding reliance and on brokered deposit exposure specifically. Both our overall reliance on wholesale funding and exposure to brokered deposits and brokered time deposits were within those policy limitations as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023.

~~Table of Contents~~

The amount of time deposits as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 amounted to ~~$5.2~~$4.8 billion. The following table shows our time deposits in denominations of less than $250,000 and in denominations of $250,000 and greater by category based on time remaining until maturity and the weighted average rate for each category as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 (in thousands):

Capital Resources. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our shareholders' equity amounted to $5.8 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our capital ratios, including our bank's capital ratios, exceeded regulatory minimum capital requirements and those necessary to be considered well-capitalized under applicable federal regulations. See Note 11. Regulatory Matters in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our capital ratios. From time to time we may be required to support the capital needs of our bank (Pinnacle Bank). At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we had approximately ~~$209.1~~$179.1 million of cash at the parent company that could be used to support our bank. We believe we have various capital raising techniques available to us to provide for the capital needs of our company and bank, such as issuing subordinated debt or entering into a revolving credit facility with a financial institution. We also periodically evaluate capital markets conditions to identify opportunities to access those markets if necessary or prudent to support our capital levels.

Share Repurchase Program. On January 17, 2023, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $125.0 million of our common stock which commenced upon the expiration of the share repurchase program that expired on March 31, 2023. The new authorization is to remain in effect through March 31, 2024. We did not repurchase any shares under either share repurchase program during 2023 or 2022, respectively.

Dividends. Pursuant to Tennessee banking law, our bank may not, without the prior consent of the Commissioner of the TDFI, pay any dividends to us in a calendar year in excess of the total of our bank's retained net profits for that year plus the retained net profits for the preceding two years, which was ~~$1.2~~$1.3 billion at ~~June~~September 30, 2023. Additionally, approval by regulatory authorities is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the regulatory capital of Pinnacle Bank to fall below specified minimum levels. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the bank paid dividends of ~~$52.8~~$79.5 million to us which is within the limits allowed by banking regulations.

During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we paid $17.2 million and ~~$34.4~~$51.6 million, respectively, in dividends to our common shareholders and $3.8 million and ~~$7.6~~$11.4 million, respectively, in dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock. On ~~July 18,~~October 17, 2023, our board of directors declared a $0.22 per share quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders which should approximate $17.2 million in aggregate dividend payments that are expected to be paid on ~~August 25,~~November 24, 2023 to common shareholders of record as of the close of business on ~~August 4,~~November 3, 2023. Additionally, on that same day, our board of directors approved a quarterly dividend of approximately $3.8 million, or $16.88 per share (or $0.422 per depositary share), on the Series B Preferred Stock payable on ~~September~~December 1, 2023 to shareholders of record at the close of business on ~~August 17,~~November 16, 2023. The amount and timing of all future dividend payments, if any, is subject to board discretion and will depend on our earnings, capital position, financial condition and other factors, including, if necessary, our receipt of dividends from Pinnacle Bank, regulatory capital requirements, as they become

known to us and receipt of any regulatory approvals that may become required as a result of our and our bank subsidiary's financial results.

Market and Liquidity Risk Management

Our objective is to manage assets and liabilities to provide a satisfactory, consistent level of profitability within the framework of established liquidity, loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies. Our Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) is charged with the responsibility of monitoring these policies, which are designed to ensure acceptable composition of asset/liability mix. Two critical areas of focus for ALCO are interest rate sensitivity and liquidity risk management.

~~Table of Contents~~

Interest Rate Sensitivity. In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk arising from fluctuations in interest rates. ALCO measures and evaluates the interest rate risk so that we can meet customer demands for various types of loans and deposits. ALCO determines the most appropriate amounts of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet items. Measurements which we use to help us manage interest rate sensitivity include an earnings simulation model and an economic value of equity (EVE) model.

Our interest rate sensitivity modeling incorporates a number of assumptions for both earnings simulation and EVE, including loan and deposit re-pricing characteristics, the rate of loan prepayments, etc. ALCO periodically reviews these assumptions for accuracy based on historical data and future expectations. Our ALCO policy requires that the base scenario assumes rates remain flat and is the scenario to which all others are compared in order to measure the change in net interest income and EVE. Policy limits are applied to the results of certain modeling scenarios. While the primary policy scenarios focus is on a twelve month time frame for the earnings simulations model, longer time horizons are also modeled. All policy scenarios assume a static volume forecast where the balance sheet is held constant, although other scenarios are modeled.

There were several noteworthy factors when comparing the results of both the earnings simulation and the economic value of equity modeling results as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 to the modeling results as of ~~June~~September 30, 2022:

•The Federal Reserve tightened monetary policy with ~~350~~225 basis points of Fed Funds rate increases since ~~June~~September 30, 2022.

•Our deposit mix shifted as evidenced by a drop in our non-interest bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits dropping from ~~33.9%~~31.4% to ~~22.4%~~21.7%.

•~~We entered into $875 million of interest rate floors for our variable rate loan portfolio.~~

•~~We entered into $875 million of interest rate collars for our variable rate loan portfolio.~~

•We entered into $850 million of receive-fixed interest rate swaps on our wholesale funding portfolio.

Earnings simulation model. We believe interest rate risk is best measured by our earnings simulation modeling. Earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments are combined with forecasts of interest rates for the next 12 months and are combined with other factors in order to produce various earnings simulations over that same 12-month period. To limit interest rate risk, we have policy guidelines for our earnings at risk which seek to limit the variance of net interest income in both gradual and instantaneous changes to interest rates. For instantaneous upward and downward changes in rates from management's baseline interest rate forecast over the next twelve months, assuming a static balance sheet, the following estimated changes are calculated:


		Estimated % Change in Net Interest Income Over 12 Months			Estimated % Change in Net Interest Income Over 12 Months
		June 30, 2023*	June 30, 2022*		Sept. 30, 2023*	Sept. 30, 2022*
Instantaneous Rate Change	Instantaneous Rate Change			Instantaneous Rate Change
300 bps increase	300 bps increase	7.60%	7.80%	300 bps increase	5.9%	3.3%
200 bps increase	200 bps increase	5.60%		200 bps increase	4.4%	1.7%
100 bps increase	100 bps increase	3.00%	2.90%	100 bps increase	2.4%	0.6%
100 bps decrease	100 bps decrease	(2.90)%	(7.70)%	100 bps decrease	(2.4)%	(2.9)%
200 bps decrease	200 bps decrease	(5.00)%	(15.40)%	200 bps decrease	(3.8)%	(6.8)%
300 bps decrease	300 bps decrease	(7.50)%	(17.70)%	300 bps decrease	(5.5)%	(14.8)%

*: Negative interest rates are not contemplated in these scenarios. The Treasury curve and all short-term rate indices, such as Fed Funds, SOFR, etc., are assumed to be zero bound.

While an instantaneous and severe shift in interest rates was used in this analysis to provide an estimate of exposure under these scenarios, we believe that a gradual shift in interest rates would have a more modest impact. Further, the earnings simulation model does not take into account factors such as future balance sheet growth, changes in product mix, changes in yield curve relationships, hedging activities we might take and changing product spreads that could mitigate any potential adverse impact of changes in interest rates.

Table of Contents

The behavior of our deposit portfolio in the baseline forecast and in alternate interest rate scenarios set out in the table above is a key assumption in our projected estimates of net interest income. The projected impact on net interest income in the table above assumes no change in deposit portfolio size or mix from the baseline forecast in alternative rate environments. In higher rate scenarios, any customer activity resulting in the replacement of low-cost or noninterest-bearing deposits with higher-yielding deposits or market-based funding as we experienced in the first half of 2023 would reduce the assumed benefit of those deposits. The projected impact on net interest income in the table above also assumes a "through-the-cycle" non-maturity deposit beta which may not be an accurate predictor of actual deposit rate changes realized in scenarios of smaller and/or non-parallel interest rate movements.

~~Table of Contents~~

At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, our earnings simulation model indicated we were in compliance with our policies for all interest rate scenarios for which we model as required by our board approved Asset Liability Policy.

Economic value of equity model. While earnings simulation modeling attempts to determine the impact of a changing rate environment to our net interest income, our EVE model measures estimated changes to the economic values of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items as a result of interest rate changes. Economic values are determined by discounting expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items, which establishes a base case EVE. We then shock rates as prescribed by our Asset Liability Policy and measure the sensitivity in EVE values for each of those shocked rate scenarios versus the base case. The Asset Liability Policy sets limits for those sensitivities. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, our EVE modeling calculated the following estimated changes in EVE due to instantaneous upward and downward changes in rates:


		June 30, 2023*		June 30, 2022*			Sept. 30, 2023*	Sept. 30, 2022*
Instantaneous Rate Change	Instantaneous Rate Change					Instantaneous Rate Change
300 bps increase	300 bps increase	(18.90)	%	(17.20)	%	300 bps increase	(17.3)%	(20.1)%
200 bps increase	200 bps increase	(13.20)	%	(11.00)	%	200 bps increase	(12.0)%	(13.9)%
100 bps increase	100 bps increase	(6.90)	%	(5.70)	%	100 bps increase	(6.3)%	(7.1)%
100 bps decrease	100 bps decrease	5.60	%	4.30	%	100 bps decrease	6.8%	4.9%
200 bps decrease	200 bps decrease	0.10	%	(3.90)	%	200 bps decrease	11.4%	2.1%
300 bps decrease	300 bps decrease	(1.10)	%	(9.10)	%	300 bps decrease	4.5%	(1.6)%

*: Negative interest rates are not contemplated in these scenarios. The Treasury curve and all short-term rate indices, such as Fed Funds, SOFR, etc., are assumed to be zero bound.Funds, LIBOR, etc., are assumed to be zed.

While an instantaneous and severe shift in interest rates was used in this analysis to provide an estimate of exposure under these scenarios, we believe that a gradual shift in interest rates would have a more modest impact. Since EVE measures the discounted present value of cash flows over the estimated lives of instruments, the change in EVE does not directly correlate to the degree that earnings would be impacted over a shorter time horizon (i.e., the current year). Further, EVE does not take into account factors such as future balance sheet growth, changes in product mix, changes in yield curve relationships, hedging activities we might take and changing product spreads that could mitigate the adverse impact of changes in interest rates.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, our EVE model indicated we were in compliance with our policies for all interest rate scenarios for which we model as required by our board approved Asset Liability Policy.

Most likely earnings simulation models. We also analyze a most-likely earnings simulation scenario that projects the expected change in rates based on a forward yield curve adopted by management using expected balance sheet volumes forecasted by management. Separate growth assumptions are developed for loans, investments, deposits, etc. Other interest rate scenarios analyzed by management may include delayed rate shocks, yield curve steepening or flattening, or other variations in rate movements to further analyze or stress our balance sheet under various interest rate scenarios. Each scenario is evaluated by management. These processes assist management to better anticipate our financial results and, as a result, management may determine the need to invest in other operating strategies and tactics which might enhance results or better position the firm's balance sheet to reduce interest rate risk going forward.

Each of the above analyses may not, on its own, be an accurate indicator of how our net interest income will be affected by changes in interest rates. Income associated with interest-earning assets and costs associated with interest-bearing liabilities may not be affected uniformly by changes in interest rates. In addition, the magnitude and duration of changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on net interest income. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities fluctuate in advance of changes in general market rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in general market rates. In addition, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features (generally referred to as interest rate caps and floors)

Table of Contents

which limit changes in interest rates. Prepayment and early withdrawal levels also could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the maturity of certain instruments. The ability of many borrowers to service their debts also may decrease during periods of rising interest rates. ALCO reviews each of the above interest rate sensitivity analyses along with several different interest rate scenarios as part of its responsibility to provide a satisfactory, consistent level of profitability within the framework of established liquidity, loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies.

Management's asset liability management model governance, implementation and validation processes and controls are subject to routine and ongoing review by our model risk management and internal audit groups as well as subject to routine regulatory

~~Table of Contents~~

examinations to ensure our asset liability management processes are in compliance with the most current regulatory guidelines and industry and regulatory practices. Management utilizes a respected, sophisticated third party asset liability modeling software to help ensure implementation of management's assumptions into the model are processed as intended in a robust manner. That said, there are numerous assumptions regarding financial instrument behavior that are integrated into the model. The assumptions are formulated by combining observations gleaned from our historical studies of financial instruments and our best estimations of how these instruments may behave in the future given changes in economic conditions, technology, etc. These assumptions may prove to be inaccurate. Additionally, given the large number of assumptions built into our asset liability modeling software, it is difficult, at best, to compare our results to other firms.

Some of the more critical assumptions built into the asset liability model are our behavioral assumptions for non-maturity deposits, including beta, decay and volatility assumptions. To support these assumptions, we have developed a proprietary non-maturity deposit model that formulates these assumptions. The assumptions are based on quantitative techniques with respect to historical time series of data of these non-maturity deposit instruments. The decay and beta assumptions are backtested on a monthly basis as part of our ongoing monitoring governance of this model. Should back testing reveal differences outside of tolerances between predicted versus actual behaviors, the model is modified but only after ALCO’s approval. Additionally, the volatility assessment of deposits is also a critical assumption. We have additional quantitative techniques applied in our non-maturity deposit model to each individual account monthly that determines the anticipated volatility of each deposit account. For all accounts that are deemed to exceed our volatility tolerances, these accounts are classified as non-stable, we assign a duration of 0% to them. This effectively disallows us from leveraging these as sources of funding for incremental fixed rate asset investment. While the likelihood of all of these deposits repricing simultaneously is extremely remote, this approach forces our EVE sensitivities to skew more liability sensitive. This reduces the likelihood that we would make excessive investments in assets whose value deteriorates beyond our tolerances as interest rates increase.

ALCO may determine that Pinnacle Financial should over time become more or less asset or liability sensitive depending on the underlying balance sheet circumstances and our conclusions as to anticipated interest rate fluctuations in future periods. At present, ALCO has determined that its "most likely" rate scenario assumes no further increases in short-term interest rates from the Federal Reserve in 2023 after the latest 25 basis point increase on July 26, 2023. Our "most likely" rate forecast is based primarily on information we acquire from a service which includes a consensus forecast of numerous interest rate benchmarks. We may implement additional actions designed to achieve our desired sensitivity position which could change from time to time.

We have in the past used, and may in the future continue to use, derivative financial instruments as one tool to manage our interest rate sensitivity, including in our mortgage lending program, while continuing to meet the credit and deposit needs of our customers. For further details on the derivatives we currently use, see Note 9. Derivative Instruments in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

We may also enter into interest rate swaps to facilitate customer transactions and meet their financing needs. These swaps qualify as derivatives, even though they are not designated as hedging instruments.

Liquidity Risk Management. The purpose of liquidity risk management is to ensure that there are sufficient cash flows to satisfy loan demand, deposit withdrawals, and our other needs. Traditional sources of liquidity for a bank include asset maturities and growth in core deposits. A bank may achieve its desired liquidity objectives from the management of its assets and liabilities and by internally generated funding through its operations. Funds invested in marketable instruments that can be readily sold and the continuous maturing of other earning assets are sources of liquidity from an asset perspective. The liability base provides sources of liquidity through attraction of increased deposits and borrowing funds from various other institutions.

To assist in determining the adequacy of our liquidity, we perform a variety of liquidity stress tests including idiosyncratic, systemic and combined scenarios for both moderate and severe events. Liquidity is defined as the ability to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Liquidity management involves maintaining our ability to meet the daily cash flow requirements of our customers, both depositors and borrowers. We seek to maintain a sufficiently liquid asset balance to ensure our ability to meet our obligations. The amount of the appropriate minimum liquid asset

Table of Contents

balance is determined through severe liquidity stress testing as measured by our liquidity coverage ratio calculation. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with our liquidity coverage ratio.

Changes in interest rates also affect our liquidity position. We currently price deposits in response to market rates, and our management intends to continue this policy. If deposits are not priced in response to market rates, a loss of deposits could occur which would negatively affect our liquidity position.

Scheduled loan payments are a relatively stable source of funds, but loan payoffs and deposit flows fluctuate significantly, being influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. Additionally, debt security investments are subject to

~~Table of Contents~~

prepayment and call provisions that could accelerate their payoff prior to stated maturity. Our financial advisors attempt to price our deposit products to meet our asset/liability objectives consistent with local market conditions. Our ALCO is responsible for monitoring our ongoing liquidity needs. Our regulators also monitor our liquidity and capital resources on a periodic basis.

As noted previously, Pinnacle Bank is a member of the FHLB ~~Cincinnati~~ and, pursuant to a borrowing agreement with the FHLB, ~~Cincinnati,~~ has pledged certain assets pursuant to a blanket lien. As such, Pinnacle Bank may use the FHLB ~~Cincinnati~~ as a source of liquidity depending on the firm's ALCO strategies. Additionally, we may pledge additional qualifying assets or reduce the amount of pledged assets with the FHLB ~~Cincinnati~~ to increase or decrease our borrowing capacity at the ~~FHLB Cincinnati.~~FHLB. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we believe we had an estimated ~~$2.9~~$3.0 billion in additional borrowing capacity with the ~~FHLB Cincinnati;~~FHLB; however, incremental borrowings are made via a formal request by Pinnacle Bank and the subsequent approval by the ~~FHLB Cincinnati.~~FHLB.

Pinnacle Bank also has accommodations with upstream correspondent banks for unsecured short-term advances which aggregate $155.0 million. These accommodations have various covenants related to their term and availability, and in most cases must be repaid within less than one month. There were no outstanding borrowings under these agreements at ~~June~~September 30, 2023, or during the three months then ended, although we test the availability of these accommodations periodically. Pinnacle Bank also had approximately ~~$5.9~~$6.3 billion in available Federal Reserve discount window and the Federal Reserve's new Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) lines of credit at ~~June~~September 30, 2023. The BTFP is a new facility established in response to liquidity concerns within the banking industry following the ~~recent~~ failures of multiple high-profile financial ~~institutions.~~institutions in the first half of 2023. The BTFP was designed to provide available additional funding to eligible depository institutions in order to help assure that banks have the ability to meet the needs of all their depositors. Under the program, eligible depository institutions can obtain loans of up to one year in length by pledging U.S. Treasuries, agency debt and mortgage-backed securities, and other qualifying assets as collateral. These assets will be valued at par.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, excluding reciprocating time and money market deposits issued through the IntraFiNetwork, we had approximately $3.1 billion in brokered deposits and ~~$13.1~~$11.1 billion in uninsured deposits. Historically, we have issued brokered certificates through several different brokerage houses based on competitive bid. During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2023, and in response to the uncertainty resulting from the macroeconomic environment and the failure of multiple high-profile financial institutions, we intentionally increased our levels of on-balance sheet liquidity. This increase was funded by a combination of increased core deposits, increased borrowings from the FHLB, ~~Cincinnati,~~ holding the proceeds from the recent sale-leaseback transaction and the sale of investment securities and increases in brokered time deposits. We intend to continue to prepay and/or let mature wholesale funding as core deposit levels allow.

Banking regulators have defined additional liquidity guidelines, through the issuance of the Basel III Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and the Modified LCR. These regulatory guidelines became effective January 2015 with phase in over subsequent years and require these large institutions to follow prescriptive guidance in determining an absolute level of a high quality liquid asset (HQLA) buffer that must be maintained on their balance sheets in order to withstand a potential liquidity crisis event. Although Pinnacle Financial follows the principles outlined in the Interagency Policy Statement on Liquidity Risk Management, issued March 2010, to determine its HQLA buffer, Pinnacle Financial is not currently subject to these regulations. However, these formulas could eventually be imposed on smaller banks, such as Pinnacle Bank, and require an increase in the absolute level of liquidity on our balance sheet, which could result in lower net interest margins for us in future periods.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we had no individually significant commitments for capital expenditures. But, we believe the number of our locations, including non-branch locations, will increase over an extended period of time across our footprint, including the markets to which we have recently expanded, and that certain of our locations will be in need of required renovations. In future periods, these expansions and renovation projects may lead to additional equipment and occupancy expenses as well as related increases in salaries and benefits expense. Additionally, we expect we will continue to incur costs associated with planned technology improvements to enhance the infrastructure of our firm.

Our short-term borrowings (borrowings which mature within the next fiscal year) consist primarily of securities sold under agreements to repurchase (these agreements are typically associated with comprehensive treasury management programs for our clients and provide them with short-term returns on their excess funds).

We have certain contractual obligations as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, which by their terms have a contractual maturity and termination dates subsequent to ~~June~~September 30, 2023. Each of these commitments is noted throughout Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis. Our management believes that we have adequate liquidity to meet all known contractual obligations and unfunded commitments, including loan commitments and reasonable borrower, depositor, and creditor requirements over the next twelve months and that we will have adequate liquidity to meet our obligations over a longer-term as well.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we had outstanding standby letters of credit of ~~$333.0~~$326.8 million and unfunded loan commitments outstanding of ~~$16.0~~$15.6 billion. Because these commitments generally have fixed expiration dates and many will expire

~~Table of Contents~~

without being drawn upon, the total commitment level does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. If needed to fund these outstanding commitments, Pinnacle Bank has the ability to liquidate securities available-for-sale, or on a short-term basis to borrow and purchase federal funds from other financial institutions.

We follow the same credit policies and underwriting practices when making these commitments as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. Each customer's creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and the amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. However, should the commitments be drawn upon and should our customers default on their resulting obligation to us, our maximum exposure to credit loss, without consideration of collateral, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we had accrued reserves of $21.5 million related to expected credit losses associated with off-balance sheet commitments.

We withheld ~~5,820~~5,703 shares of common stock to satisfy tax withholding requirements associated with the vesting of these awards.

(2)On January 17, 2023, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $125.0 million of our common stock which commenced upon the expiration of the previously authorized share repurchase program that expired on March 31, 2023. The new authorization is to remain in effect through March 31, 2024. Share repurchases may be made from time to time, on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, at the discretion of the management of Pinnacle Financial, after the board of directors of Pinnacle Financial authorizes a repurchase program.
