FirstBusiness.Bank6 Growing Profitability FBIZ’s Historic and Ongoing Growth Supports Earnings Power Differentiated Loan Growth Capabilities History of consistent double- digit growth Growth is C&I focused and diversified Strong & Stable Deposit Franchise Track record of double-digit growth driven by deep client relationships Creates relatively stable NIM in a challenging environment (3.58% MRQ) Growing Profitability Profile Consistent long-term positive operating leverage Consistent double digit TBV growth Record PTPP ROAA of 1.75% for 2023 12% 5-year Loan CAGR 2018-2023 15% 5-year Core Deposit CAGR 2018-2023 11% 5-year TBV/Share CAGR 2018-2023

FirstBusiness.Bank7 Balanced and Steady Growth Operating Fundamentals Drive Earnings Power Note: Net interest income is the sum of "Pure Net Interest Income" and "Fees in Lieu of Interest". Non-interest income is the sum of "Trust Fee Income", "Other Fee Income", "Service Charges", "SBA Gains", and "Swap Fees". 1. "Pure Net Interest Income" and "Net Operating Income" are non-GAAP measurements. See appendix for non-GAAP reconciliation schedules. 2. "Net Tax Credits" represent management's estimate of the after-tax contribution related to the investment in tax credits as of the reporting period disclosed. 3. "Fees in Lieu of Interest" is defined as prepayment fees, asset-based loan fees, non-accrual interest, and loan fee amortization. • Steady revenue expansion supported by: ◦ Double-digit loan and deposit growth ◦ Strong and stable net interest margin ◦ Diverse sources of non- interest income • Strategic investments drive growth while maintaining positive long-term operating leverage • Robust earnings power reflected in expansion of PTPP Adjusted ROAA to a record 1.75% for 2023.

Peer data not yet available for 1Q24. Differentiated Approach Aids TBV Preservation • FBIZ holds a small securities portfolio, and does not extend maturities to reach for yield • FBIZ uses wholesale funding to match maturities with long-term fixed rate loans to lock in interest rate spread and maintain greater stability in net interest margin • In the recent rising rate environment, this approach mitigates the impact of mark-to-market adjustments on our Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI), a component of equity • During the current rate cycle, FBIZ’s strong earnings more than offset the decline in AOCI, as tangible book value per share grew 26% compared to 3.4% for median peer banks. -10% 0% 10% 20% 30% 12/31/21 03/31/22 06/30/22 09/30/22 12/31/22 03/31/23 06/30/23 09/30/23 12/31/23 3/31/24 Cumulative TBV % Change During Current Rate Cycle FBIZ Peer Group Median

FirstBusiness.Bank43 “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 excluding 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. Adjusted Net Interest Margin Non-GAAP Reconciliation
