Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “intends,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Management judgments relating to and discussion of the provision and allowance for credit losses, allowance for uncertain tax positions, accruals for loss contingencies and valuation of mortgage servicing rights involve judgments as to expected events and are inherently forward-looking statements. Assessments that acquisitions and growth endeavors will be profitable are necessary statements of belief as to the outcome of future events based in part on information provided by others which BOK Financial has not independently verified. These various forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions which are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what is expected, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Internal and external factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to changes in government, consumer or business responses to, and ability to treat or prevent further outbreak of, the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in commodity prices, interest rates and interest rate relationships, inflation, demand for products and services, the degree of competition by traditional and nontraditional competitors, changes in banking regulations, tax laws, prices, levies and assessments, the impact of technological advances, and trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans. For a discussion of risk factors that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, please refer to BOK Financial Corporation’s most recent annual and quarterly reports. BOK Financial Corporation and its affiliates undertake no obligation to update, amend, or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Forecast & assumptions 16 ◦ We expect mid to to upper single digit annualized loan growth. Economic conditions in our geographic footprint remain very strong, and continue to be supported by business in-migration from other markets. Strong growth in unfunded commitments throughout 2022 and current low levels of line utilization should be an additional tailwind for loan growth. • During the fourth quarter of 2022 we added $1.5 billion to our available for sale securities portfolio to move us closer to an interest rate neutral position. We expect to hold the portfolio at this higher level in 2023. ◦ We have a strong base of core deposits and expect modest attrition in interest-bearing and demand deposits to move our loan to deposit ratio somewhat higher, while still remaining below historical levels. ◦ Currently we are assuming 25 bps increases in February and March before the Federal Reserve pauses. We believe the margin will migrate modestly lower in the first half of 2023 as interest bearing deposit betas increase and demand deposit balance attrition runs its course under conditions where our interest rate risk position is more balanced. The December NIM was 3.57%. Net interest income is expected to approach $1.4 billion total for 2023 ◦ In aggregate we expect total fees and commissions revenue to approach $750 million for 2023. ◦ We expect expenses to be below Q4 2022 levels in the short-term, migrating back near that level throughout 2023. We continue to expect revenue growth to outpace expense growth resulting in an efficiency ratio below 60%, nearing 57% by year end 2023. ◦ Our allowance level is slightly above the median of our peers and we expect to maintain a strong credit reserve.. Given our expectations for loan growth and the strength of our credit quality, we expect quarterly provision expense similar to the second half of 2022. Changes in the economic outlook will impact our provision expense. ◦ We expect to continue our quarterly share repurchases.
