FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

• Strong Profitability Metrics - Excluding the impact of PPP loans, pre-tax, pre-provision adjusted ("PTPP") return on average assets increased to 2.05% in the third quarter, compared to 1.24% in the prior year quarter as pre-tax pre-provision earnings grew to a record $14.1 million. • Record Top Line Revenue and Net Interest Margin Expansion - Net interest income grew to a record $25.9 million, increasing 22.0% from the prior year quarter due to a 56 basis point expansion in net interest margin bolstered by a 7.7% increase in average loans and leases receivable. • Deposit Growth - Continued focus on relationship-based deposit generation contributed to in-market deposit growth of 15.6% annualized compared to the second quarter. • Exceptional Asset Quality - Continued positive asset quality trends resulted in the decline of non-performing assets to $3.8 million, or 0.13% of total assets, improving from 0.29% of total assets on September 30, 2021. • Tangible Book Value Growth - Demonstrated earnings power and diligent credit management more than offset interest-rate-driven market value decline in the investment portfolio and resulted in a 7.5% annualized increase and 8.0% increase in tangible book value compared to the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. 15 Third Quarter 2022 Highlights Net interest margin expansion and balance sheet growth drive record top line revenue and tangible book value growth

APPENDIX Non-GAAP Reconciliations

“Adjusted Net Interest Margin” is a non-GAAP measure representing net interest income excluding the fees in lieu of interest and other recurring, but volatile, components of net interest margin divided by average interest-earning assets less average net PPP loans, if any, and other recurring, but volatile, components of average interest-earning assets. Fees in lieu of interest are defined as prepayment fees, asset-based loan fees, non-accrual interest, and loan fee amortization. In the judgment of the Company’s management, the adjustments made to net interest income allow investors and analysts to better assess the Company’s net interest income in relation to its core client-facing loan and deposit rate changes by removing the volatility that is associated with these recurring but volatile components. The information provided below reconciles the net interest margin to its most comparable GAAP measure.
