The increase primarily reflects: A $5.8 million decrease in interest expense mostly due to lower rates on interest-bearing deposits, a reduction in wholesale borrowing balances, and a $1.4 million effect of two less days in the quarter Partially offset by a $2.7 million decrease in interest income primarily driven by a $4.1 million impact of two less days in the quarter and the effect of lower rates on the repricing of floating rate commercial loans, partially compensated by the deployment of investment portfolio cash flows Net interest margin increased during the quarter by 19 bps to 4.52%, mostly reflecting a change in asset mix resulting from the deployment of cash flows from lower yielding securities to higher yielding interest-earning assets and a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, while simultaneously redeeming higher cost junior subordinated debentures Key Highlights Evolution of Loan Yields and Cost of Funds(1) (1) Cost of funds include cost of all interest-bearing deposits, non-interest-bearing deposits, and wholesale funding 1Q24 2Q24 3Q24 4Q24 1Q25 6.11% 6.15% 6.14% 6.10% 6.22% Loan Yields Cost of Funds

First Quarter 2025 Asset Quality Non-Performing Assets ($MM) Increase in NPAs was primarily driven by the inflow of a $12.6 million commercial mortgage loan in Florida, partially offset by lower OREO balances and non-accrual residential mortgage loans Inflows to nonaccrual loans held for investment were $43.4 million, an increase of $6.3 million when compared to the prior quarter, related to the aforementioned inflow of the $12.6 million commercial mortgage Florida loan, partially offset by a decrease of $6.5 million in consumer loan inflows during the quarter Loans in early delinquency (i.e., 30-89 days past due accruing loans) amounted to $131.2 million, a decrease of $21.8 million vs. 4Q 2024, mostly related to a $19.5 million decrease in consumer loans Total non-performing assets increased by $11.1 million to $129.4 million or 0.68% of total assets 0.69% 1Q24 0.67% 2Q24 $89 0.63% 3Q24 $87 0.61% 4Q24 0.68% 1Q25 $130 $127 $119 $118 $129 Repossessed Assets and Other Loans HFI NPAs/Assets $1 1Q24 $5 2Q24 $4 3Q24 $1 4Q24 $1 1Q25 $130 $127 $119 $118 $129 Repossessed Assets and Other Consumer Residential Construction Commercial

First Quarter 2025 ACL and Capital Total stockholders’ equity amounted to $1.8 billion, an increase of $110.1 million vs. the prior quarter, driven by an $84.1 million increase in the fair value of available-for-sale debt securities due to changes in market rates recognized as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss and the earnings generated during the quarter Partially offset by $29.6 million in common stock dividends declared during the quarter and $21.8 million in common stock repurchases All regulatory ratios remain significantly above “well-capitalized” levels Evolution of ACL ($MM) and ACL on Loans to Total Loans (%) Capital Ratios (%) The allowance for credit losses (ACL) on loans and leases was $247.3 million, up $3.4 million vs. prior quarter; the ratio of the ACL on loans and finance leases to total loans held for investment increased to 1.95% Increase driven by $4.7 million in the commercial ACL mainly due to a slight deterioration in the macro-outlook of CRE prices, partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease in the consumer ACL due to an improvement in the outlook for unemployment Net charge-offs of $21.4 million (0.68% of average loans), net of $2.4 million in recoveries from the sale of charged-off loans; adjusted net charge-offs ratio of 0.76% Key Highlights Key Highlights $0.0 1.72% 2019 $8.0 2.61% Day-1 CECL $0.0 2.14% 1Q24 2.06% 4Q24 3Q24 1.98% 2Q24 1.95% 1Q25 $155.0 $248.0 1.91% $260.9 $252.1 $248.4 $251.7 $270.2 Off-BS Credit Exposure Debt Securities Loans ACL on Loans/Loans 15.9 1Q24 15.8 2Q24 16.2 3Q24 4Q24 1Q25 Total Risk-Based Capital Tier-1 Capital Tier-1 Common Leverage Tangible Common

First Quarter 2025 Appendix - Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Basis of Presentation: Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures are used when management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures enhances the ability of analysts and investors to analyze trends in the Corporation’s business and understand the performance of the Corporation. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the text or in the attached tables to this earnings presentation. Any analysis of these non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. Tangible Common Equity Ratio and Tangible Book Value per Common Share The tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are generally used by the financial community to evaluate capital adequacy. Tangible common equity is total common equity less goodwill and other intangibles. Tangible assets are total assets less goodwill and other intangibles. Management and many stock analysts use the tangible common equity ratio and tangible book value per common share in conjunction with more traditional bank capital ratios to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of goodwill or other intangible assets, typically stemming from the use of the purchase method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions. Accordingly, the Corporation believes that disclosure of these financial measures may be useful to investors. Neither tangible common equity nor tangible assets, or the related measures, should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for stockholders’ equity, total assets, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the way the Corporation calculates its tangible common equity, tangible assets, and any other related measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.

Any analysis of these non-GAAP financial measures should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Pre-Tax, Pre-Provision Income Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income is a non-GAAP performance metric that management uses and believes that investors may find useful in analyzing underlying performance trends, particularly in times of economic stress, including as a result of natural catastrophes or health epidemies. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income, as defined by management, represents income before income taxes adjusted to exclude the provision for credit losses expense, as well as certain items that management believes are not reflective of core operating performance.

Adjusted Return on Average Common Equity Ratio Net income divided by adjusted average common equity, which is average total common equity, after exclusion of average net unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities recognized as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
