This presentation has been prepared by us solely for informational purposes based on our own information, as well as information from public and industry sources . Neither the SEC nor any other regulatory agency has approved or disapproved of our securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this presentation . Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense . Forward - Looking Statements This presentation contains, and future oral and written statements by us and our management may contain, forward - looking statements . These forward - looking statements represent plans, estimates, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, intentions, projections, and statements of our beliefs concerning future events, business plans, objectives, expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based . Forward - looking statements include without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and are typically identified with words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “aim,” “intend,” “plan,” or words or phases of similar meaning . We caution that the forward - looking statements are based largely on our expectations and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on factors which are, in many instances, beyond our control . Such forward - looking statements are based on various assumptions (some of which may be beyond our control) and are subject to risks and uncertainties, which change over time, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated . New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict their occurrence or how they will affect us .

Although we believe that this information (including the industry publications and third party research, surveys, and studies) is accurate and reliable, we have not independently verified such information . In addition, estimates, forecasts and assumptions are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors . Finally, forward - looking information obtained from these sources is subject to the same qualifications and the additional uncertainties regarding the other forward - looking statements in this presentation . Non - GAAP Financial Measures We present adjusted operating revenue ; pre - tax, pre - provision net earnings ; net tangible book value per share ; and tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets to help us describe our operating performance . Our presentation of these non - GAAP measures is intended as a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, U . S . generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) . These non - GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to performance measures derived in accordance with U . S . GAAP . Our presentation of these non - GAAP measures should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by these items . See the appendix to this presentation for a reconciliation of these non - GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures .

Some of the financial measures discussed herein are non - GAAP financial measures . In accordance with SEC rules, we classify a financial measure as being a non - GAAP financial measure if that financial measure excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding or including amounts, that are included o r excluded, as the case may be, in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our statements of income, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows . Adjusted operating revenue, pre - tax, pre - provision net earnings, net tangible book value per share, and tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets are non - GAAP financial measures. We define “adjusted operating revenue” as operating revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) minus net gains/losses on sales of securities . The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is operating revenue. We define “pre - tax, pre - provision net earnings” as net income plus income tax expense and provision for (recapture of) loan losses. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income . We define “net tangible book value per share” as book value per share less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by the outstanding number of common shares at the end of each period. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is book value per share . We had no goodwill or other intangible assets as of any of the dates indicated. As a result, tangible book value and net ta ngi ble book value per share is the same as total shareholders’ equity and book value per share as of each of the dates indicated, respectively. We define “tangible shareholde rs’ equity to tangible assets” as total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, divided by total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets. The most directly comparable GAAP finan cia l measure is total shareholders’ equity to total assets. We had no goodwill or other intangible assets as of any of the dates indicated. As a result, tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets is the same as total shareholders’ equity to total assets as of each of the dates indicated, respectively. We believe that these non - GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary t o our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP. However, we acknowledge that our non - GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non - GAAP financial measures that other banking companies use. Other banking companies may use names similar to those we use for the non - GAAP financial measures we disclose, but may calculate them differently . You should understand how we and other companies each calculate their non - GAAP financial measures when making comparisons . The following reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of these non - GAAP financial measures along with their most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP .
