(“CapStar”) and its financial outlook and business environment. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this release and any oral statements made regarding the subject of this release, including in the conference call referenced herein, that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are “forward-looking statements“ within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1955. The words “expect“, “anticipate”, “intend”, “may”, “should”, “plan”, “believe”, “seek“, “estimate“ and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but other statements not based on historical information may also be considered forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the statements, including, but not limited to: (I) deterioration in the financial condition of borrowers of the Company and its subsidiaries, resulting in significant increases in loan losses and provisions for those losses; (II) the effects of the emergence of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, including the magnitude and duration of the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on general economic and financial market conditions and on the Company’s customer’s business, results of operations, asset quality and financial condition; (III) the ability to grow and retain low-cost, core deposits and retain large, uninsured deposits, including during times when the Company is seeking to lower rates it pays on deposits; (IV) the impact of competition with other financial institutions, including pricing pressures and the resulting impact on the Company’s results, including as a result of compression to net interest margin; (V) fluctuations or differences in interest rates on loans or deposits from those that the Company is modeling or anticipating, including as a result of the Company’s inability to better match deposit rates with the changes in the short term rate environment, or that affect the yield curve; (VI) difficulties and delays in integrating required businesses or fully realizing cost savings or other benefits from acquisitions; (VII) the Company‘s ability to profitably grow its business and successfully execute on its business plans; (VIII) any matter that would cause the Company to conclude that there was impairment of any asset, including goodwill or other intangible assets; (IX) the vulnerability of the Company’s network and online banking portals, and the systems of customers or parties with whom the Company contracts, to unauthorized access, computer viruses, phishing schemes, spam attacks, human error, natural disasters, power loss and other security breaches; (X) the availability of and access to capital; (XI) adverse results (including costs, fines, reputational harm, inability to obtain necessary approvals, and/or other negative affects) from current or future litigation, regulatory examinations or other legal and/or regulatory actions, including as a result of the Company’s participation in and execution of government programs related to the Covid-19 pandemic; and (XII) general competitive, economic, political and market conditions. Additional factors which could affect the forward-looking statements can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC. 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.

“In assessing performance, what matters isn’t the absolute rate of return but the return relative to peers and the market.  You really only need to know three things to evaluate a CEO’s greatness: the compound annual return to shareholders during his or her tenure and the return over the same period for peer companies and for the broader market (usually measured by the S&P 500).” "CEOs need to do two things well to be successful: run their operations efficiently and deploy the cash generated by those operations." "Capital allocation is a CEO's most important job." "CEOs have five essential choices for deploying capital - investing in existing operations, acquiring other businesses, issuing dividends, paying down debt, or repurchasing stock…" "Sometimes the best investment opportunity is your own stock."

Shareholder Performance


Slide 30

Story is Turning into One of the Most Attractively Positioned Banks Geographically. While the markets CSTR is currently in and recently expanded into are highly competitive, we think the growth opportunity path from here is significantly above most peers. CSTR remains a favorite small-cap name given strong profitability, a solid and growing profile in attractive markets in TN and western NC, and ample capital position. - Hovde (July 25, 2022) New Markets Adding Significantly to Growth and EPS Outlook. CSTR's hiring efforts and expansion into new markets (Chattanooga, Knoxville and Asheville) are adding to growth YTD and the outlook as CSTR put up another +30% loan growth quarter. CSTR entered Chattanooga in 4Q21 and this market already has $188mm in loans and $13mm in deposits and was breakeven to PPNR within 5 months. - Keefe, Bruyette & Woods (July 24, 2022) CSTR continues to expand into new de novo markets. The company is opening a new Asheville office and has recently hired more employees in Chattanooga. The Knoxville and Chattanooga markets contributed $0.01 of EPS in 2Q22. - Truist (July 25, 2022) Attractive Growth Opportunities Remain, and Core Bank Performance Continues to Impress - Given the recent expansion into Asheville, key hires in Chattanooga + Nashville, and general demographics of CapStar's footprint, we think the bank is positioned to grow loans at a disproportionate rate over the next 2+ years while delivering solid profitability … Simply put, we believe CSTR has become well-managed bank that operates in fantastic growth markets - which creates tremendous scarcity value for the franchise. - Piper Sandler (July 22, 2022) We continue to recommend CSTR shares with a BUY rating as profitability still remains strong despite our modest reduction in forward estimates. Core ROA rises from 1.28% in 2Q to the 1.50%+ range in the latter half of 2022 as multiple recent team lift outs drive continued Loan and Deposit growth. - Janney (July 22, 2022) … we expect loan growth to remain the main tailwind, even in a slowing economy, given the resiliency and vibrancy of CSTR’s core metro Nashville market, and likely increasing contributions from the expansion markets (i.e., Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Asheville). Additionally, as CSTR continues to put its excess capital to work, and as the expansion markets steadily mature and gain scale, we view this as a natural tailwind for core profitability rather than a drag. - DA Davidson (July 22, 2022) Aided by expanded institutional research Added three firms over the past year increasing coverage to six firms Expanded Research Coverage

Looking Forward


Slide 34

As of September 2022 Economy Increase in the Fed Funds rate over the next year with modest yield curve inversion A potential for slower economic growth or recession Loan Growth Targeting high single to low double-digit growth with appropriate spreads to align with funding trends Deposit Growth Continuing to develop deposit capabilities to provide an improved long-term funding base Disciplined use of alternative funding such as brokered CDs and wholesale funding Net Interest Income Strong loan pipeline and production provide opportunity for continued NII growth Deposit pricing pressure has increased as more rate sensitive customers are more aggressively exploring options. Loan pricing headwind as competitors have not fully responded to market rate increases NII could benefit modestly from parallel rate increases though declines modestly for a curve flattening scenario Anticipate our net interest margin to be flat or in this range Provision Expense Continued low net charge-offs and stable credit trends though not immune to economic conditions Adoption of CECL 1/1/23 Non-Interest Income 2H22 Mortgage environment looks challenging. Reduced support staff positions approximately $400K annualized in late 3Q22. Favorable long-term outlook given strong markets, strength of Mortgage team, and purchase money focus. Working through remaining Tri-Net volumes booked during the recent volatile rate period and have ceased production until we have observed market stabilization. Recently implemented hedging against market rate increases. Previously disclosed sale of $65MM resulting in $1.5MM loss; $25MM remaining to be sold. Quarterly SBA fees approximating 1H22 total going forward. In discussions with SBA producers whose production approximates $100MM. Non-Interest Expense Bank-only expense of approximately $16-$16.5MM per quarter Income Taxes Expected tax rate to remain at approximately 20% for 2022 Capital Progression toward targeted capital levels through loan growth, in-market and new market lift-outs, increased dividends, and share repurchases 2H22 Outlook
