CNB’s Growth Model CNB’s strong growth, both organic and by M&A, is the result of identifying the right market in which to operate based on market demographics that fit CNB’s lending expertise (small and mid-sized commercial and industrial lending) and then finding the right local management with the market experience to deliver the CNB product set and the sophistication of services to grow organically in the market CNB created the ERIEBANK franchise using this model and has grown to over $700 million in loans in twelve years In Ohio, CNB entered the greater Columbus market through the acquisition of FCBank, and has since executed this same strategy to grow organically in the FCBank market through opening new offices and hiring additional lenders A similar opportunity exists in the greater Cleveland, OH, market with CNB’s acquisition of Lake National Bank in 2016 CNB hired a local banker in 2016 to oversee the entrance into Buffalo, New York, with BankOnBuffalo M&A is not a priority in CNB’s growth strategy; however, CNB will consider opportunities that meet the financial criteria, expand CNB’s presence into markets that fit the business model (e.g., FCBank, Lake National), bring significant talent, and/or fill in existing markets CNB raised $50 million of BBB- Kroll-rated subordinated debt during the third quarter of 2016 and $20 million of common stock during the first quarter of 2017 to support its organic growth strategy

Non-GAAP Financial Reconciliation Tangible common equity, tangible assets, and tangible book value per share are non-GAAP financial measures calculated using GAAP amounts. Tangible common equity is calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and the core deposit intangible from the calculation of shareholders’ equity. Tangible assets are calculated by excluding the balance of goodwill and the core deposit intangible from the calculation of total assets. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by the number of shares outstanding. CNB believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors that is useful in understanding its financial condition because, in the case of the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, the ratio is an additional measure used to assess capital adequacy and, in the case of tangible book value per share, tangible book value per share is an additional measure used to assess the Corporation’s value. Because not all companies use the same calculations of tangible common equity and tangible assets, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures calculated by other companies. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures is provided below (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data).
