First Quarter Highlights:
●
Completed the Central bank core systems conversion
●
Loans grew $275 million for the quarter with our newer markets and verticals contributing meaningfully as we realize scale
in those areas

Credit quality improved with non-performing assets decreasing $2.0 million and the non-performing assets to total assets
ratio decreasing to 0.16% at quarter end

lower as elevated deposits at year-end were deployed early in the quarter in addition to clients migrating into savings and
money market accounts

Net interest margin – FTE of 3.65% widened four basis points for the quarter entirely due to the benefit of non-interest-
bearing deposits

Tax exempt income is calculated on a tax-equivalent basis. Tax-free municipal securities are exempt from federal income taxes. The incremental federal
income tax rate used is 21.0%.
Income from Operations
Net income totaled $16.1 million or $0.33 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $11.9 million or $0.24 per diluted
share during the fourth quarter of 2022 and $16.8 million or $0.33 per diluted share during the first quarter of 2022. On a linked quarter
basis, net income was higher due to an increase in net interest income partially offset by higher non-interest expenses. The first quarter of
2023 included $1.5 million of acquisition-related non-interest expense and the fourth quarter of 2022 included acquisition-related non-
interest expense of $3.6 million and a $4.4 million acquisition-related Day 1 CECL provision expense. Compared to the same period in
the prior year, the quarter’s results were impacted by better net interest income that was more than offset by higher provision expense and
non-interest expense.
Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $17.3 million or $0.35 per diluted share compared to $17.9 million or $0.36 per
diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2022. The linked quarter’s adjusted net income was lower by $0.6 million as increases in net interest
income were more than offset by higher provision expense and higher non-interest expense.
Net Interest Income
Fully tax equivalent (“FTE”) net interest income totaled $59.0 million for the quarter compared to $54.8 million for the fourth quarter of
2022, increasing due to higher average earning assets and stronger loan yields, partially offset by higher cost of funds and two fewer days.
Net interest margin – FTE widened 4 basis points to 3.65% compared to the prior quarter entirely due to the benefit of non-interest-bearing
deposits.
Average earning assets increased $521 million compared to the prior quarter due to higher average loan balances. The increase in average
balances of loans outstanding more than offset lower average cash and federal funds sold balances. The yield on earning assets increased
entirely due to stronger loan yields due to the repricing of variable loans as well as higher pricing on new loans. The cost of funds
increased due to continued pricing pressure on deposits as well as the mix of deposits shifting into higher cost products. Despite the
offsetting changes in the yield on earning assets and the cost of funds, net interest margin – FTE widened due to the benefit of non-interest
bearing-deposits.
Compared to the first quarter of 2022, FTE net interest income increased $15.1 million and net interest margin - FTE increased 36 basis
points. The higher income and margin were primarily due to increases in average earning assets from strong loan growth and an increase
in the loan yields, partially offset by a higher cost of funds due to the rising rate environment.
Average earning assets grew $1.2 billion, or 21%, compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase was entirely driven by higher
average loan and investment portfolio balances, partially offset by lower average cash balances. The yield on earning assets increased
2.44% due to new loan production as well as repricing of variable rate loans. The cost of funds increased 2.27% over the same period due
to pricing pressure on deposits as well as client migration into higher cost deposit products compared to the prior year.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income increased $0.1 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and decreased by $0.5 million compared to the same
quarter in 2022. The increase in non-interest income compared to the previous quarter was due to increases in service charges and fees and
credit card interchange income offset by decreases in other non-interest income. In addition, gains on sale of loans increased from the
addition of Central. The decrease compared to the prior year was primarily the result of a decrease in credit card fees due to one large
customer with pandemic-related activity that was not recurring. The lower credit card fees were partially offset by increases in service
charges and fees, as well as gains on securities and gains on sales of loans.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased $1.7 million from the fourth quarter of 2022 and increased $10.4 million from the first quarter of 2022.
The first quarter of 2023 included $1.5 million of acquisition-related expenses with $1.1 million included in professional fees, $0.2 million
in salaries and employee benefits, $0.1 million in advertising, and $0. 1 million in other non-interest expense. The fourth quarter of 2022
included $3.6 million of acquisition-related expenses with $1.2 million included in professional fees, $1.0 million in salaries and employee
benefits, $1.1 million in data processing, and $0.2 million in other non-interest expense. Excluding these acquisition-related expenses,
non-interest expense increased $3.8 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and increased $8.9 million compared to the first quarter
of 2022. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, salaries and employee benefits costs were higher due to merit increases and the addition
of employees as part of the Central acquisition. Additionally, deposit insurance premiums increased primarily due to an increase in the
assessment rate and growth in assets. Other non-interest expense increased compared to the prior quarter primarily due to core deposit
intangible amortization as a result of the Central acquisition and an increase in commercial credit card fees. Compared to the first quarter
of 2022 salaries and employee benefits costs were higher due to merit increases, hiring in new markets, and the addition of employees as
part of the Central acquisition. Professional fees increased primarily due to increases in consulting costs related to the digital banking
conversion, increased recruiting costs, and timing of legal fees. Additionally, deposit insurance premiums increased due to an increase in
the assessment rate and increases in assets. Other non-interest expense increased compared to the prior year primarily due to core deposit
intangible amortization as a result of the Central acquisition and increased post-pandemic travel expenses.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 was 20.0%, as compared to 21.9% in the fourth quarter of 2022 and 19.9%
for the first quarter of 2022. The fourth quarter of 2022 included a $0.3 million charge related to certain non-deductible acquisition costs
which caused a higher rate for that period.
Statement of Financial Condition Performance & Analysis
During the first quarter of 2023, total assets increased by $0.3 billion or 4% compared to the end of the prior quarter and increased $1.4
billion or 25% compared to March 31, 2022. Total assets increased on a linked quarter basis primarily due to a $0.3 billion increase in
loans. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to an increase in loans of $1.3 billion, including $0.4 billion from the Central
acquisition. Deposits increased $0.2 billion compared to December 31, 2022, and increased $1.2 billion from March 31, 2022, including
$0.6 billion from the Central acquisition.
Loan Results
During the first quarter of 2023, loans increased $275 million compared to December 31, 2022, and increased $1.3 billion or 30%
compared to March 31, 2022, including the impact of the Central acquisition . The linked quarter increase in loans was a result of growth
across most of our loan categories. Our newer markets and verticals contributed meaningfully to the quarter’s loan growth as we realize
scale in those areas. The loan increase compared to March 31, 2022 was primarily due to growth in the commercial and industrial,
commercial and industrial lines of credit and commercial real estate portfolios and included the impact of the Central acquisition.

Actual unrounded values are used to calculate the reported percent disclosed. Accordingly, recalculations using the amounts in millions as disclosed in this release
may not produce the same amounts.
At March 31, 2023, other borrowings totaled $332 million, as compared to $254 million at December 31, 2022, and $228 million at
March 31, 2022, and increased due to short-term liquidity needs.
Asset Quality and Provision for Credit Losses
The Company recorded $4.4 million of provision expense, compared to $6.7 million in the linked quarter and a ($0.6) million release of
provision in the prior year first quarter. The prior quarter’s provision included $4.4 million of acquisition-related Day 1 CECL provision
expense for the Central loan portfolio. The current quarter’s provision expense was driven by loan growth and net charge-offs of $1.6
million.
Non-performing assets decreased to $11.2 million at March 31, 2023 primarily due to a $1.8 million decrease from the charge-off of one
commercial and industrial loan, as well as paydowns. The non-performing assets to total assets ratio decreased from 0.64% at March 31,
2022 to 0.16% at March 31, 2023. In addition, classified loans decreased $0.7 million during the first quarter. Net charge-offs were $1.6
million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to net recoveries of ($0.3) million in the prior quarter and net charge-offs of $1.1 million in
the prior year first quarter.
The allowance for credit losses was $65.1 million or 1.15% of outstanding loans at March 31, 2023. The combined allowance for credit
losses and accrual for off-balance sheet credit risk from unfunded commitments (“RUC”) was $73.2 million or 1.30% of outstanding loans
which was consistent with the linked quarter and lower than the prior year first quarter, owing primarily to the reduction in specific
reserves on non-performing loans.

Accordingly, the Company cautions you that any such forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance and that
actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements due to a

TABLE 5. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the
Company discloses non-GAAP financial measures in this release including “tangible common stockholders’ equity,” “tangible book value
per common share,” “adjusted efficiency ratio – fully tax equivalent (FTE),” “adjusted net income,” “adjusted diluted earnings per
common share,” “adjusted return on average assets (ROAA),” and “adjusted return on equity (ROE).” We consider the use of select non-
GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period
comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our
performance by excluding certain expenditures or gains that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results. We
believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and
when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP
and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we
present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these limitations by
providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the
impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be
considered when analyzing our performance.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures follows.
