The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this press release (we speak only as of the date hereof ), whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.   NON-GAAP MEASURES This investor presentation includes financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This financial information includes certain operating performance measures, which exclude merger-related and other charges that are not considered part of recurring operations. Such measures include: “Efficiency ratio – operating,” “Expenses – operating,” “Earnings per share – operating,” “Diluted earnings per share – operating,” “Tangible book value per share,” “Return on common equity – operating,” “Return on tangible common equity – operating,” “Return on assets – operating,” and “Tangible common equity to tangible assets.” Management has included these non-GAAP measures because it believes these measures may provide useful supplemental information for evaluating CapStar’s underlying performance trends. Further, management uses these measures in managing and evaluating CapStar’s business and intends to refer to them in discussions about our operations and performance. Operating performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to or substitute for, measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other companies. To the extent applicable, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in the ‘Non-GAAP Reconciliation Tables’ included in the exhibits to this presentation.

Financial Detail


Slide 7

Net Interest Income / Margin(1) Calculated on a tax equivalent basis. Adjusted for excess Cash and PPP Loan impact. (2) Net interest income of $23MM, equal to 3Q21 NIM increased 2 bps vs 3Q21 principally due to higher loan balances, rates and continued PPP fees $0.6MM of PPP fees remaining to be recognized NIM, adjusted for PPP and excess liquidity, increased 4 bps over 3Q21 While managing to a more neutral interest rate risk profile in order to enhance earnings consistency, net interest income over the next year is expected to benefit modestly from rising rates Significant opportunity to benefit net interest income, net income, PTPPA, ROAA, and ROATCE through deploying excess liquidity in loan growth


Slide 8

Deposit Growth and Costs Total deposits and non-interest bearing deposits remained near record levels Total deposit cost held flat at 0.19% Reduction in interest expense from higher-cost time deposits offset partially by an increase in correspondent banking deposits ~ $400MM of excess liquidity Relatively earnings neutral as cash investment yield approximates average cost of deposits Negatively impacts key ratios – NIM, PTPPA, and ROA While the Company is currently faced with excess deposits, a priority is to develop a deposit first culture to ensure strong core funding into the future

Shareholder Performance


Slide 19

Expanded Research Coverage The valuation gap with SE bank peers [is] narrowing as [CSTR] continues to outpace on core loan growth, solid profitability, and upside EPS surprises relative to consensus expectations are the biggest catalysts for the shares over the next few quarters. - Hovde (October 25, 2021) CapStar has the opportunity to improve core profitability as the company capitalizes on its building market share in the dynamic market of Nashville, Tennessee, and continues to de-risk its balance sheet, invest in fee income sources (Tri-Net, mortgage, SBA platform), and improve efficiency. Our thesis is that CapStar shares have upside as the bank returns to a stable level of growth (de-risking headwinds have now abated) and continues to show positive operating leverage as it strives toward a higher ROA, although NIM pressure is a headwind near term. - Keefe, Bruyette & Woods (October 25, 2021) We think CSTR's improved lending strategy will continue to pay benefits within the bank's vibrant footprint, and believe it manifested itself in the liftout of 9 bankers (5 producers) in Chattanooga that managed a $600M book prior. - Piper Sandler (October 22, 2021) While we do expect the company to ultimately re-enter the M&A arena, it appears the nearer-term focus could be on organic growth (as highlighted by the team liftout in Chattanooga), as management looks to efficiently deploy capital. As such, with growth accelerating, and an above-peer profitability profile, we believe the risk/reward dynamic continues to screen attractively. - Raymond James (October 22, 2021) We remain confident that the company can achieve 6% to 10% core loan growth per annum, given the number of hires the company has made over the last several months, including the Chattanooga expansion, and the favorable footprint. - Truist (October 25, 2021) We favor Management's decision to invest in future growth via the Chattanooga expansion and believe this market, Knoxville and the core Nashville market, will continue to provide strong loan growth opportunities for CSTR. Strong earnings and capital levels provide optionality for Management, and we anticipate a $0.02 quarterly dividend increase in 1Q-2022 and 1Q-2023. - Janney (October 25, 2021) Today’s company is certainly not yesterday’s, as the relatively new leadership team has transformed CSTR into a new company, with an improved risk profile … as well as a lower-cost deposit mix, a focus on organic loan growth, and increased emphasis on specialty banking (fee) businesses, and, in turn, enhanced profitability. - DA Davidson (January 11, 2022) Aided by expanded institutional research Added three firms over the past year increasing coverage to seven firms
