More information regarding non-GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, is included in our earnings release and in the appendix to this presentation.

Solid Credit Quality $ in millions, unless otherwise indicated Nonperforming Assets(1) Highlights Net Charge Offs Total nonperforming assets decreased $16 million during 2Q18 to $57 million and an NPA%(1) of 0.6% at June 30, 2018. Overall asset quality improvement, increase in energy prices, active credit resolutions, and loan paydowns drove NPAs lower by $85 million or -60% from a year ago. 63% of all NPLs are energy, or $24.9 million in energy nonaccruals at 2Q18 from $93.0 million in 2Q17. Net charge-offs of $2.2 million in 2Q18 or 10 bps of average loans, on an annualized basis, compared to $0.4 million or 2 bps in 1Q18 and $1.8 million or 9 bps in 2Q17. Bank’s provision in 2Q18 was $1.3 million, driven primarily by loan growth. The allowance for credit losses was $90.6 million or 1.0% of total loans at 2Q18, reflecting stable credit quality trends and the reduction in energy NPLs. (1) NPA% represents total nonperforming assets (NPAs) to total loans and OREO and other NPAs

Highlights Targeted Core Deposit(2) Growth $ in millions, unless otherwise indicated Deposit Growth 2Q18 Deposit Breakdown and Comparison Core Deposit(2) growth remains a top strategic focus, increasing $451 million or 5% from linked quarter and $1.5 billion or 21% from prior year. Commercial deposit relationships & treasury management were the strongest areas of growth, which also allowed for continued reduction in brokered deposits to 7% of total deposits or -21% in 2Q18. Core deposits are: 52% commercial, 11% wealth, and 37% retail as of June 30, 2018. (1) Favorable (Unfavorable) comparison versus prior period. YoY represents 6/30/18 vs. 6/30/17. QoQ represents 6/30/18 vs. 3/31/18. (2) Core deposits are defined as total deposits excluding brokered deposits (3) Figures may not total due to rounding Deposit Composition (6/30/18)

Net Interest Margin $ in millions, unless otherwise indicated Highlights Net interest margin (tax equivalent) improved 2bp to 3.66% during 2Q18 driven by our loan portfolio, with over 71% floating rate, benefiting from short-term rate increases during the period. NIM excluding recovery accretion increased 2bp from 1Q18 and up 13bp from 2Q17. Originated loan yields in 2Q18 were 5.04%, +23bp from 1Q18 and +68bp from 2Q17. Total cost of deposits was 98bp for 2Q18 vs. 75bp in 1Q18. Approximately a third of the deposit cost increase in 2Q18 related to the semi-annual reset of $1.2 billion in our Up CDs that reset on 4/1/18, with the index rate rising 50bp from 1Q18. Over $600 million of the Up CDs mature by year end 2018. Inherent asset sensitivity partially offset by over $1.0 billion in hedges, of which $382 million mature on 12/17/18 and $300 million on 12/31/19. Securities decreased $202 million to $1 billion at June 30, 2018, or -16% from 1Q18, primarily from the sale of tax exempt municipals.

Interest Rate Sensitivity – Positively Positioned $ in millions, unless otherwise indicated Highlights Projected 5.5% increase in net interest income in +100bp scenario and up 10.8% in +200bp(3). The originated loan beta was 70% in 2Q18 and 83% cycle-to-date(2) demonstrating the interest-sensitivity of the loan portfolio. 71% of the loan portfolio is floating rate of which 86% driven by 30/60/90 day LIBOR.  Commercial deposit betas were 36% in 2Q18 and 15% cycle-to-date(2), while consumer deposit betas were 84% in 2Q18 and 39% cycle-to-date(2). Total deposit betas were 73% in 2Q18 vs. 21% in prior quarter and 42% year ago. The cycle-to-date(2) total deposit beta is 35% and we are currently forecasting 55% total deposit beta over the long-term in our internal Asset/Liability model. The 2Q18 increase in the deposit beta was impacted by the semiannual reset of $1.2 billion in our Up CDs increasing 50bp. (1) Figures may not total due to rounding (2) Cycle-to-date reflects changes since 4Q15 and incorporates the seven (7) increases in the Fed Funds rate since December 16, 2015 (3) Based on June 30, 2018 interest rate sensitivity modeling of instantaneous rate shock over 1-12 months Cumulative Betas (Cycle-to-date) Quarterly Betas Note: Betas are calculated by dividing the change in loan yields or deposit costs by change in the average 1-month LIBOR, which reflects the bank’s balance sheet positioning and is consistent with internal Asset/Liability modeling.
