Welcome to Our 2021 Annual Meeting Celebrating 100 Years Exhibit 99.1

Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are not historical facts and may include expressions about Management’s strategies and Management’s expectations about financial results, new and existing programs and products, investments, relationships, opportunities and market conditions. These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as “expect,” “look,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “may,” or similar statements or variations of such terms. Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: 1) our inability to successfully grow our business and implement our strategic plan, including an inability to generate revenues to offset the increased personnel and other costs related to the strategic plan; 2) the impact of anticipated higher operating expenses in 2020 and beyond; 3) our inability to successfully integrate wealth management firm acquisitions; 4) our inability to manage our growth; 5) our inability to successfully integrate our expanded employee base; 6) an unexpected decline in the economy, in particular in our New Jersey and New York market areas; 7) declines in our net interest margin caused by the interest rate environment (including the shape of yield curve) and our highly competitive market; 8) declines in the value in our investment portfolio; 9) higher than expected increases in our allowance for loan and lease losses; 10) higher than expected increases in loan and lease losses or in the level of nonperforming loans; 11) unexpected changes in interest rates; 12) an unexpected decline in real estate values within our market areas; 13) legislative and regulatory actions (including the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Basel III and related regulations) that may result in increased compliance costs; 14) changes in monetary policy by the Federal Reserve Board; 15) changes to legislation or policy, including tax or accounting matters; 16) successful cyberattacks against our IT infrastructure and that of our IT providers; 17) higher than expected FDIC insurance premiums; 18) adverse weather conditions; 19) our inability to successfully generate business in new geographic markets; 20) our inability to execute upon new business initiatives; 21) our lack of liquidity to fund our various cash obligations; 22) reduction in our lower-cost funding sources; 23) our inability to adapt to technological changes; 24) claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility, environmental laws and other matters; 25) effects related to a prolonged shutdown of the federal government that could impact SBA and other government lending programs; and 26) other unexpected material adverse changes in our operations or earnings. Further, given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and whether the gradual reopening of businesses will result in a meaningful increase in economic activity. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: 1) demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; 2) if the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; 3) collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase; 4) our allowance for loan losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect our net income; 5) the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; 6) a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend; 7) our wealth management revenues may decline with continuing market turmoil; 8) our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely; and 9) FDIC premiums may increase if the agency experience additional resolution costs. The Company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in the Company’s expectations. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. 2

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation (Dollars in thousands, except per share data) 15 We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding our financial position, results and ratios. Our management internally assesses our performance based, in part, on these measures. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titles measures reported by other companies. 1 Equity to total assets would be 9.11% if PPP loans of $233MM were excluded from total assets of 3/31/2021. Equity to total assets would be 9.26% if PPP loans of $196MM were excluded from total assets as of 12/31/2020. Equity to total assets would be 9.08% if PPP loans of $202MM were excluded from total assets as of 09/30/2020. Equity to total assets would be 8.86% if PPP loans of $547MM were excluded from total assets as of 06/30/2020.
