Disclaimers This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our results of operations, financial condition and financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, without limitation, the “Risk Factors” referenced in our Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 21, 2018, and our Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on July 20, 2018, other risks and uncertainties listed from time to time in our reports and documents filed with the SEC, including our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and the following factors: business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry, nationally and within our current and future geographic market areas; economic, market, operational, liquidity, credit and interest rate risks associated with our business; deteriorating asset quality and higher loan charge-offs; the laws and regulations applicable to our business; our ability to achieve organic loan and deposit growth and the composition of such growth; increased competition in the financial services industry, nationally, regionally or locally; our ability to maintain our historical earnings trends; our ability to raise additional capital to implement our business plan; material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting; systems failures or interruptions involving our information technology and telecommunications systems or third-party servicers; the composition of our management team and our ability to attract and retain key personnel; the fiscal position of the U.S. federal government and the soundness of other financial institutions; the composition of our loan portfolio, including the identity of our borrowers and the concentration of loans in energy-related industries and in our specialized industries; the portion of our loan portfolio that is comprised of participations and shared national credits; the amount of nonperforming and classified assets we hold; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the merger with State Bank are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of the two companies or as a result of the strength of the economy and competitive factors in the areas where Cadence and State Bank do business; the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on us and our customers, counterparties, employees and third-party service providers, and the impacts to our business, financial position, results of operations, and prospects. Cadence can give no assurance that any goal or plan or expectation set forth in forward-looking statements can be achieved and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. The forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this communication, and Cadence does not intend, and assumes no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances, except as required by applicable law. Certain of the financial measures and ratios we present, including “efficiency ratio,” “adjusted efficiency ratio,” “adjusted noninterest expenses,” “adjusted operating revenue,” “tangible common equity ratio,” “tangible book value per share” and “return on average tangible common equity”, “adjusted return on average tangible common equity”, “adjusted return on average assets”, “adjusted diluted earnings per share”, “pre-tax, pre-provision net earnings” and "adjusted pre-tax pre-provision net earnings,“ are supplemental measures that are not required by, or are not presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the Appendix.

Earnings Net loss of ($399.3) million or ($3.15) per share for the first quarter of 2020, with the loss due to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $412.9 million, net of tax, or ($3.26) per share. Adjusted net income(1) and adjusted earnings per share(1) were $12.5 million and $0.10, respectively. Adjusted pre-tax pre-provision net earnings(1) of $93.0 million or 2.11% of average assets compared to $94.9 million or 2.11% prior quarter. Capital Net Interest Margin Efficiency Credit Quality Tangible book value per share of $15.65, increasing $1.00 or +6.8% QoQ and up $2.42 or 18.3% YoY. Strong capital base -- Tangible common equity ratio of 11.5%; CET1 of 11.4%; Tier 1 Leverage of 10.1%; Tier 1 Risk Based of 11.4%; Total Risk Based of 13.8%. Solid NIM of 3.80%. QoQ, NIM declined 9bp due solely to lower accretion; excluding accretion declines, all other NIM increased 2bp. Declining rate impact offset by lower deposit costs of 0.96%, dropping 18 bps QoQ, as well as positive impact of hedging and collar termination. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased to 27%. Terminated $4 billion notional collar in March 2020, locking in gain of $261.2 million, to amortize over estimated four years. Adj. noninterest expenses(1) $92.6 million, down $5.8 million or -5.9% from 4Q19. Adj. efficiency ratio(1) of 49.9%, improved from the linked quarter ratio of 50.9%. ACL increased to 1.83% of total loans compared to 0.92% at year-end 2019. CECL Day 1 impact was a 63.4% or $75.9 million increase to ACL to $195.5 million. ACL at March 31, 2020 further increased to $245.2 million. Net charge-offs of $32.5 million or 99 bps of average loans and provision expense of $83.4 million. Total NPAs of $175.3 million, up $49.8 million QoQ, $35.5 million due to added NPLs from CECL adoption. (1) Considered a non-GAAP financial measure.

Noninterest Expense Adj. noninterest expense (1) of $92.6 million, down $5.8 million or -6% from $98.4 million in the prior quarter, driven by lower personnel costs primarily related to a reduction in incentive compensation and other compensation accruals reflecting the current environment. Adj. pre-tax, pre-provision (1) net earnings of $93.0 million or 2.11% of average assets in 1Q20 compared to $94.9 million or 2.11% in 4Q19.

Highlights Loan Portfolio Metrics $ in millions, unless otherwise indicated Diversified Loan Portfolio(3) (1) Favorable (Unfavorable) comparison versus prior period. YoY represents 3/31/20 vs. 3/31/19. QoQ represents 3/31/20 vs. 12/31/19. (2) Period-End Data. Figures may not total due to rounding. (3) Amounts represent total gross loans. Under CECL, loan balances are stated at amortized cost, which is net of unearned income and are not directly comparable to prior periods. Loan Breakdown and Historical Comparison Loans declined $318 million or -2% from a year ago, primarily due to the sale of equipment financing loans of $130 million in 2Q19, sales of homebuilder finance loans of $47 million in 1Q20, and targeted declines in restaurant and leveraged loans. The 3% QoQ increase reflect draws on existing lines of credit of ~$455 million, and modest new originations, partially offset by routine paydowns. While not impacting 1Q20, as an SBA preferred lender, we have secured PPP funding for our customers of approximately $1.1 billion through May 12, 2020. *Note: As of 1/1/20, the Small Business Lending segment was reclassified between C&I ($505 million) and CRE ($229 million), reflecting alignment with CECL categorizations.

Slide 19

Credit Quality $ in millions, unless otherwise indicated Nonperforming Assets(2) Highlights Allowance for Credit Losses Rollforward(1) (1) Allowance for credit losses reflects funded loans. Provisions for loan losses do not include reserve for unfunded commitments. (2) NPA% represents total nonperforming assets (NPAs) to total loans and OREO and other NPAs. 1Q20 NPA increase of $35.5 million from legacy acquired loan pools due to CECL implementation. (3) Cumulative effect of the adoption of CECL. Net charge-offs were 0.99% of average loans (annualized) or $32.5 million in 1Q20, down compared to 1.04% or $35.3 million. The current quarter charge-offs included $19.0 million in three general C&I credits, $9.4 million in four restaurant credits, and $0.8 million in one energy credit. Provisions of $83.4 million in 1Q20 compared to $27.1 million for 4Q19. The current quarter’s provision was driven by CECL methodology which included economic forecasts that were significantly adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and lower oil prices. Upon adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, we recorded an increase of $75.9 million, a 63.4% increase, to our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). ACL was 1.83% of total loans or $245.2 million at March 31, 2020. NPLs were 1.19% of total loans at 3/31/20, with CECL methodology adding 27 bps or $35.5 million in NPLs on 1/1/20. Our NPLs in the originated population were 0.83% at 3/31/20 as compared to 0.82% at 12/31/19. Criticized loans increased to 4.97% of total loans or $665.7 million compared to 4.66% or $605.1 million in the prior quarter, with additions largely driven by migration in energy credits.

Slide 20

Highlights Core Deposit Growth $ in millions, unless otherwise indicated Deposit Growth Deposit Breakdown and Comparison (1) Favorable (Unfavorable) comparison versus prior period. YoY represents 3/31/20 vs. 3/31/19. QoQ represents 3/31/20 vs. 12/31/19. (2) Core deposits are defined as total deposits excluding brokered deposits. (3) Period-End Data. Figures may not total due to rounding. Core Deposit Geography (3/31/20) Noninterest-bearing deposits increased to 27% of total deposits, +$126 million or 3% since 12/31/19 and +$750 million or 23% from 3/31/19. Core deposits(2) of $13.9 billion down 4% QoQ, reflect a strategic reduction in deposit rates (down 18bp QoQ) through exit of certain higher priced and larger depositor relationships. The quarter also included seasonal public fund and corporate deposit declines, partially offset by granular core deposit account growth of nearly $550 million.

Slide 21

Net Interest Margin Highlights (1) Accretion on acquired loans totaled $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2020, including both acquired non-credit impaired and purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loan accretion. As part of CECL implementation, interest income recognized on PCD loans is now reported as loan interest where it was previously considered in ACI loan accretion. The comparable PCD loan interest for the periods amounts to $3.0 million, $3.6 million and $3.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020, March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2019. PCD accretion was $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2020 as compared to comparable accretion of $2.8 million for the first quarter of 2019 and $6.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. We have normalized PCD income and PCD accretion to CECL presentation for comparability of prior periods. NIM, Yields & Costs Net Interest Margin (TE) Rollforward(1) Net interest margin (tax equivalent) was 3.80% in 1Q20 vs. 3.89% for 4Q19. Lower accretion accounted for 11 basis points of decline in 1Q20(1). All other NIM changes were net positive 2bp as we more than offset the effect of declining rates on our earning assets through the impact of our deposit cost management and hedging. The termination of the $4.0 billion notional interest rate collar during the 1Q20, resulted in a gain of $261.2 million, reflected in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) net of taxes. The gain, est. at ~$1.63 per share, is expected to amortize over the next four years into interest income, regardless of the interest rate environment. Total cost of funds at 1.05% and total cost of deposits at 0.96%, represent declines of 18 basis points for each QoQ due to the active management of funding costs. Yield on originated loans (excluding hedging) was 4.75% in 1Q20, as compared to 5.00% in 4Q19. Approximately 67% of the total loan portfolio was floating at March 31, 2020, which drove the declines in originated loan yields in the first quarter of 2020. In a +100bp interest rate parallel shock scenario, NII is now modeled at +11.4% in 1Q20 vs -1.3% at 4Q19, using a 39% total deposit beta assumption, with renewed asset sensitivity in 1Q20 driven by the collar termination.

Net Interest Margin (cont’d) Highlights Collar Related Interest Income by Period ($ in millions) (1) On March 6, 2020, we terminated our $4B notional interest rate collar, locking in a gain of $261.2 million, which had grown $132.7 million or 103% since December 31, 2019. Value received assumed an average of 1-mo LIBOR of 0.5785% over the next four years.  The gain was reflected in OCI net of deferred income taxes, and will amortize over the next four years into interest income based on the rate assumptions inherent to the termination value. Related income tax expense at the statutory tax rate of 21% will be reflected in the period the interest income is recognized.    Given the termination of the collar, Cadence’s inherent asset sensitivity returns.     Est. 12-Mo Sensitivity (NII change, parallel shift in rates) *Note: Interest rate sensitivity analysis as of 3/31/20 reflects a -25bps scenario which is more meaningful in the current market rate environment than the -100bps scenario used as of 12/31/19. (1) Represents the total collar related interest income recognized (through 1Q20) and anticipated to be recognized (through 1Q24), with the gain amortization based on the assumed rates underlying the termination value over the original term of the underlying collar.
