Reported EPS – $0.56* (Core $0.60) Reported ROA – 0.99%* (Core 1.06%) Reported ROE – 9.68%* (Core 10.34%) Non-interest income comprised 28% of total revenue driven by wealth management fee income, which totaled 21% of total revenue and increased 42% compared to Q3 2017. Closed on the acquisition of Lassus Wherley. Including AUM of $550 million from this acquisition, Peapack Private Wealth Management’s AUM/AUA totaled $6.4 billion. YTD wealth management client inflows (new business plus additions to existing) totaled $477 million. Quarterly Recap * The September 2018 quarter included $319,000 of severance expense related to the elimination of select positions; $340,000 of professional fees related to investment banking and other fees associated with the Lassus Wherley acquisition; and $325,000 loss on sale of securities, principally related to a restructure of the investment portfolio, which will benefit future earnings. These three items reduced reported net income by $736,000, EPS by $0.04, ROAA by 0.07%, and ROAE by 0.66% for the 2018 quarter. See Non-GAAP financial measures on page 34.

C&I Loans increased by $111 million, and now comprise 31% of the total loan portfolio. Deposit growth of $136 million funded loan growth, reduction in overnight borrowings, and an increase in balance sheet liquidity. The core NIM declined due to higher deposit costs driven by an extremely competitive market for new funds and rising deposit repricing betas, as would be expected at this point in the interest rate cycle. Tangible equity to tangible assets was 9.55% at quarter end.1 The Bank’s Regulatory Tier I Leverage Ratio was 11.34% and its Total Capital to Risk Weighted Assets Ratio was 14.69% for the quarter. Strong pipeline for loans and deposits heading into Q4. Quarterly Recap 1 See Non-GAAP financial measures on page 34.
