PEOPLES BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Peoples" refers to Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively, except where the context indicates the reference relates solely to Peoples Bancorp Inc.) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Peoples’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 ("Peoples' 2023 Form 10-K").
The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those described in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2023 Form 10-K, as updated by the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024 (this "Form 10-Q"). Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after June 30, 2024 for potential recognition or disclosure in these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly such information for the periods and at the dates indicated. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2023, contained herein, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in Peoples’ 2023 Form 10-K. 
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, due in part to seasonal variations and unusual or infrequently occurring items.
New Accounting Pronouncements: From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by Peoples as of the required effective dates. Refer to "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2023 Form 10-K. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes the impact of any recently issued standards, including those issued but not yet effective, will not have a material impact on Peoples' financial statements taken as a whole.
Note 2 Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Fair value represents the amount expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in its principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, Peoples measures, records and reports various types of assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or a non-recurring basis in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Those assets and liabilities are presented below in the sections entitled “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis” and “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis.”
Depending on the nature of the asset or the liability, Peoples uses various valuation methodologies and assumptions to estimate fair value. The measurement of fair value under US GAAP uses a hierarchy, which is described in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2023 Form 10-K.
Assets and liabilities are assigned to a level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant input used to measure fair value. Assets and liabilities may change levels within the fair value hierarchy due to market conditions or other circumstances. Those transfers are recognized on the date of the event that prompted the transfer. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.

Available-for-Sale Investment Securities: The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent either quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1) or fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, secured overnight funding rate ("SOFR") (or other relevant) yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2). Management reviews the valuation methodology and quality controls utilized by the pricing services or broker in management's overall assessment of the reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when management believes a material discrepancy in pricing exists.
Equity Investment Securities: The fair values of Peoples' equity investment securities are obtained from quoted prices in active exchange markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) or quoted prices in less active markets (Level 2).
Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities: Derivative assets and derivative liabilities are recognized on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value within "Other assets" and "Accrued expenses and other liabilities", respectively. The fair value for derivative financial instruments is determined based on market prices, broker-dealer quotations on similar products, or other related input parameters (Level 2).

(a) Loans held for sale are presented gross of a valuation allowance of $149 and $163 at June 30, 2024 and at December 31, 2023, respectively.

Collateral Dependent Loans: Loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, are considered collateral dependent. Peoples utilizes outside third-party appraisal services to value the underlying collateral, which Peoples then uses to report the loans at their fair value (Level 3).
Loans Held for Sale: Loans originated and intended to be sold in the secondary market, generally one-to-four family residential loans, are carried, in aggregate, at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Peoples uses a valuation model using quoted market prices of similar instruments in arriving at the fair value (Level 2).
Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO"): OREO, included in "Other assets" on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, is comprised primarily of commercial and residential real estate properties acquired by Peoples in satisfaction of a loan. OREO obtained in satisfaction of a loan is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell the property. The carrying value of OREO is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is based on recent real estate appraisals and is updated at least annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches, including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available (Level 3).

For certain financial assets and liabilities, carrying value approximates fair value due to the nature of the financial instrument. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents and overnight borrowings. Peoples used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances due from other banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold and other short-term investments with original maturities of ninety days or less. The carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents balances are a reasonable estimate of fair value (Level 1).
Held-to-Maturity Investment Securities: The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, relevant yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2). When observable market data is absent, the independent pricing service estimates prices based on underlying cash flow characteristics and discount rates and compares them to similar securities (Level 3). Management reviews the valuation methodology and quality controls utilized by the pricing services in management's overall assessment of the reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when management believes a material discrepancy in pricing exists.

Table of Contents
Other Investment Securities: Other investment securities at cost are not recorded at fair value as they are not marketable securities. Other investment securities at fair value are valued using quoted prices in an active market (Level 1) or quoted prices in less active markets (Level 2).
Loans and Leases, Net of Deferred Fees and Costs: The fair value of portfolio loans and leases assumes sale of the underlying notes to a third-party financial investor. Accordingly, this value is not necessarily the value to Peoples if the notes were held to maturity. Peoples considers interest rate, credit and market factors in estimating the fair value of loans and leases (Level 3). Fair values for loans and leases are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discount rates take into account interest rates currently being offered to customers for loans and leases with similar terms, the credit risk associated with the loans and leases and other market factors, including liquidity.
Bank Owned Life Insurance: Peoples' bank owned life insurance policies are recorded at their cash surrender value (Level 2). Peoples recognizes tax-exempt income from the periodic increases in the cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.
Deposits: The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit ("CDs") is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Demand and other non-fixed-maturity deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on maturity, attrition and re-pricing assumptions (Level 2).
Short-term Borrowings: The fair value of short-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2). 
Long-term Borrowings: The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2). 
Certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured or reported at fair value can be subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). These financial assets and financial liabilities include the following: customer relationships, the deposit base, and other information required to compute Peoples’ aggregate fair value, which are not included in the above information. Accordingly, the fair values described above are not intended to represent the aggregate fair value of Peoples.

Management evaluates available-for-sale investment securities for an allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. At June 30, 2024, management concluded that no individual securities at an unrealized loss position required an allowance for credit losses. At June 30, 2024, Peoples did not have the intent to sell, nor was it more likely than not that Peoples would be required to sell, any of the securities with an unrealized loss prior to recovery. Further, the unrealized losses at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were attributable to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased, and were not credit-related losses.
The unrealized loss with respect to the two bank-issued trust preferred securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more at June 30, 2024 was attributable to the subordinated nature of the trust preferred securities.

There were no sales of held-to-maturity investment securities during either of the six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.
Management evaluates held-to-maturity investment securities for an allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. Peoples has determined that the loss given default for U.S. government sponsored agencies investment securities is zero, due to the fact that it is unlikely the ultimate guarantor (the U.S. government) would not perform on its implicit guarantee in the event of default. The remaining securities are included in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity investment securities. Peoples reported $0.2 million of allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity securities at both June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023.

Peoples purchased $17.2 million of additional FHLB stock during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as a result of the FHLB's capital requirements on FHLB advances.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, Peoples recorded the change in the fair value of equity investment securities held during the period in "Other non-interest income", resulting in an unrealized gain of $21,000 and an unrealized loss of $138,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, Peoples recognized an unrealized gain of $68,000 and an unrealized loss of $117,000, respectively, for the change in fair value of equity investment securities in "Other non-interest income".
At June 30, 2024, Peoples' investment in equity investment securities was comprised largely of common stocks issued by various unrelated bank holding companies. There were no equity investment securities of a single issuer that exceeded 10% of Peoples' stockholders' equity at June 30, 2024.

Accrued interest receivable is not included within the loan balances, but is presented in the “Other assets” line of the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, with no recorded allowance for credit losses. Total interest receivable on loans was $24.4 million at June 30, 2024 and $24.5 million at December 31, 2023.
Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans
A loan is considered past due if any required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the loan agreement. A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loan is considered past due.
The amortized cost of loans on nonaccrual status and of loans delinquent for 90 days or more and accruing was as follows:

Total loans, at amortized cost $ 33,669  $ 7,592  $ 25,477  $ 6,716 
(a) There were $1.4 million of nonaccrual loans for which there was no allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2024 and $1.2 million of nonaccrual loans for which there was no allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2023.
During the first six months of 2024, nonaccrual loans increased compared to at December 31, 2023, which was primarily due to one large commercial and industrial loan of approximately $2.0 million that went on nonaccrual status during the first half of 2024. Further, eight leases and four commercial real estate loans went on nonaccrual status during the second quarter of 2024 which increased the amount reported by $3.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The increase in accruing loans 90+ days past due at June 30, 2024 when compared to at December 31, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in accruing premium finance loans 90+ days past due of approximately $1.2 million and an increase in accruing residential real estate loans 90+ days past due of approximately $0.3 million which was partially offset by a decrease in accruing leases and commercial and industrial loans 90+ days past due.
The amount of interest income recognized on accruing loans 90+ days past due during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.9 million.
The following table presents the aging of the amortized cost of past due loans:

Credit Quality Indicators
As discussed in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2023 Form 10-K, Peoples categorizes the majority of its loans into risk categories based upon an established risk grading matrix using a scale of 1 to 8. Loan grades are assigned at the time a new loan or lending commitment is extended by Peoples and may be changed at any time when circumstances warrant. Commercial loans to borrowers with an aggregate unpaid principal balance in excess of $1.0 million are reviewed at least on an annual basis for possible credit deterioration. Commercial leases, as well as loan relationships whose aggregate credit exposure to Peoples is equal to or less than $1.0 million, are reviewed on an event driven basis. Triggers for review include knowledge of adverse events affecting the borrower's business, receipt of financial statements indicating deteriorating credit quality or other similar events. Adversely classified loans are reviewed on a quarterly basis. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades used by Peoples, follows:
“Pass” (grades 1 through 4): Loans in this risk category involve borrowers of acceptable-to-strong credit quality and risk who have the apparent ability to satisfy their loan obligations. Loans in this risk category would possess sufficient mitigating factors, such as adequate collateral or strong guarantors possessing the capacity to repay the loan if required, for any weakness that may exist.

20

Table of Contents
“Special Mention” (grade 5): Loans in this risk grade are the equivalent of the regulatory definition of “Other Assets Especially Mentioned.” Loans in this risk category possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which requires a high level of management attention. Potential weaknesses include declining trends in operating earnings and cash flows and/or reliance on a secondary source of repayment. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in noticeable deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in Peoples' credit position.
“Substandard” (grade 6): Loans in this risk grade are inadequately protected by the borrower's current financial condition and payment capability or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of the loans. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Peoples will sustain some loss if the weaknesses are not corrected.
“Doubtful” (grade 7): Loans in this risk grade have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, classification of each of these loans as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.
“Loss” (grade 8): Loans in this risk grade are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean a loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Charge-offs against the allowance for credit losses are taken during the period in which the loan becomes uncollectible. Consequently, Peoples typically does not maintain a recorded investment in loans within this category.
Consumer loans and other smaller-balance loans are evaluated and categorized as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss" based upon the regulatory definition of these classes and consistent with regulatory requirements. Leases are categorized as "special mention", "substandard", or "loss" based upon delinquency status and the prospect of collecting the remaining net investment balance owed under the lease. All other loans not evaluated individually, nor meeting the regulatory conditions to be categorized as described above, would be considered as being "not rated."

Collateral Dependent Loans
Peoples has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The underlying collateral can vary based upon the type of loan. The following provides more detail about the types of collateral that secure collateral dependent loans:
•Construction loans are typically secured by owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment real estate. Typically, owner occupied construction loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and other commercial and industrial properties that are in process of construction. Non-owner occupied commercial construction loans are generally secured by multi-family complexes, warehouse buildings, industrial buildings, land under development, and other commercial real estate in process of construction.

Table of Contents
•Commercial real estate loans can be secured by either owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment commercial real estate. Typically, owner occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by multifamily complexes, retail facilities, office buildings and complexes, warehouses, industrial buildings, land under development, as well as other commercial real estate.
•Commercial and industrial loans are generally secured by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, and other commercial property.
•Residential real estate loans are typically secured by first mortgages, and in some cases could be secured by a second mortgage, on residential real estate property.
•Home equity lines of credit are generally secured by second mortgages on residential real estate property.
•Consumer loans are generally secured by automobiles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Some consumer loans are unsecured and have no underlying collateral.
•Leases are secured by commercial equipment and other essential business assets.
•Premium finance loans are secured by the unearned portion of the insurance premium being financed.
The following table details Peoples' amortized cost of collateral dependent loans:

Commercial real estate, other $ 689  $ — 
Leases 2,479  — 
Residential real estate —  501 
Total collateral dependent loans $ 3,168  $ 501 
The increase in collateral dependent loans at June 30, 2024, compared to December 31, 2023, was primarily due to the addition of ten leases associated with three customer relationships during the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Modifications for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
As part of Peoples' loss mitigation activities, Peoples may agree to modify the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. The most common modifications to the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty include an extension of the maturity date, a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the loan, a temporary period of interest-only payments, and a reduction in the contractual payment amount for either a short period or the remaining term of the loan.
In addition to loan modifications, Peoples also provides other loss mitigation options, such as forbearance and repayment plans, to assist borrowers who experience financial difficulties. In assessing whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, Peoples considers information currently available regarding the financial condition of the borrower. This information includes, but is not limited to, whether (1) the borrower is currently in payment default on any of the borrower's debt; (2) a payment default is probable in the foreseeable future without the modification; (3) the borrower has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy; and (4) the borrower's projected cash flow is insufficient to satisfy contractual payments due under the original terms of the loan without a modification.
The following tables display the amortized cost of loans that were restructured during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, presented by loan classification.

Allowance for Credit Losses
As discussed in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2023 Form 10-K, Peoples estimates the allowance for credit losses using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In management's estimation of expected credit losses, Peoples uses a one-year reasonable and supportable period across all segments. Following the reasonable and supportable period, Peoples reverts the macroeconomic variables to their long run average over a four-quarter reversion period.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 are summarized below:

(a)Amount does not include the provision for the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments.
During the second quarter of 2024, Peoples recorded a total provision for credit losses of $5.7 million, which was a result of (i) higher net-charge offs, (ii) an increase of reserves on individually analyzed loans and leases, and (iii) loan growth. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2024 were $4.2 million, primarily driven by an increase in charge-offs on leases originated by our North Star Leasing business, partially offset by decreases in net charge-offs on commercial and industrial loans and other commercial real estate loans.The increase in the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2024 when compared to at March 31, 2024 and at December 31, 2023 was primarily due to an increase on reserves for individually analyzed loans and leases.
During the second quarter of 2023, Peoples recorded a provision for credit losses of $8.1 million, largely attributable to a provision of $9.4 million for the non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, partially offset by the release of reserves of $1.7 million on individually analyzed loans and leases and a recovery of $1.0 million due to improvements in macro-economic conditions. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2023 were $1.2 million, primarily due to net charge-offs of indirect consumer loans of $0.8 million.
Peoples had recorded an allowance for unfunded commitments of $1.8 million and $1.8 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The allowance for unfunded commitments (also referred to as "unfunded commitment liability") is presented in the “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” line of the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in the allowance for unfunded commitments is also reflected in the "Provision for (recovery of) credit losses" line of the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 8 Employee Benefit Plans
Peoples sponsored a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covered substantially all employees hired before January 1, 2010. The plan provided retirement benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation. For employees hired before January 1, 2003, the amount of post-retirement benefit was based on the employee’s average monthly compensation over the highest five consecutive years out of the employee’s last ten years with Peoples while an eligible employee. For employees hired on or after January 1, 2003, the amount of post-retirement benefit was based on 2% of the employee’s annual compensation during the years 2003 through 2009, plus accrued interest. During the third quarter of 2023, Peoples terminated its pension plan by settling the remaining benefit obligation of $7.7 million. The pension plan had been closed to new entrants since January 1, 2010. Peoples recorded a settlement charge of $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2023 in relation to the termination of the pension plan. Peoples does not anticipate further expenses related to the termination.
Retirement Savings Plan
Peoples also maintains a retirement savings plan, or 401(k) plan, which covers substantially all employees. The plan provides participants with the opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-deferred basis. As of January 1, 2021, Peoples matches 100% of participants’ contributions up to 6% of the participants’ compensation. Matching contributions made by Peoples totaled $3.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Note 10 Derivative Financial Instruments
Peoples utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset/liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is included in the "Other assets" and the "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" lines in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, while cash activity related to these derivative financial instruments is included in the activity in "Net cash provided by operating activities" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities - Risk Management Objective of Using Derivative Financial Instruments
Peoples is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Peoples principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. Peoples manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its assets and liabilities. Peoples also manages interest rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, Peoples enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known or expected cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates.

34

Table of Contents
Peoples’ derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of Peoples' known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain variable rate borrowings. Peoples also has interest rate derivative financial instruments that result from a service provided to certain qualifying customers and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in Peoples' assets or liabilities. Peoples manages a matched book with respect to customer-related derivative financial instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Peoples' objectives in using interest rate derivative financial instruments are to add stability to interest income and expense, and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. At June 30, 2024, Peoples had entered into 9 interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $85.0 million. Peoples will pay a fixed rate of interest for up to ten years while receiving a floating rate component of interest equal to term SOFR. The interest received on the floating rate component is intended to offset the interest paid on rolling three-month brokered CDs, which will continue to be rolled through the life of the interest rate swaps. At both June 30, 2024 and at December 31, 2023, the interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of $85.0 million and $105.0 million, respectively, in brokered CDs, which are expected to be extended every 90 days through the maturity dates of the interest rate swaps.
For derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the effective and ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of each derivative financial instrument is reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income ("AOCI") (outside of earnings), net of tax, and are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made or received on Peoples' variable-rate liabilities. Peoples assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the hedging derivative financial instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transaction. The reset dates and the payment dates on the brokered CDs are matched to the reset dates and payment dates on the receipt of the term SOFR rate (or the three-month LIBOR floating portion prior to June 30, 2023) of the swaps to ensure effectiveness of the cash flow hedge. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, Peoples recorded reclassifications of losses to earnings of $1.7 million and $130,000, respectively. During the next twelve months, Peoples estimates that $1.4 million of AOCI will be reclassified as an addition to interest expense.

Non-Designated Hedges
Peoples Bank maintains an interest rate protection program for commercial loan customers, which was established in 2010. Under this program, Peoples Bank originates variable rate loans with interest rate swaps, where the customer enters into an interest rate swap with Peoples Bank on terms that match the terms of the loan. By entering into the interest rate swap with the customer, Peoples Bank effectively provides the customer with a fixed rate loan while creating a variable rate asset for Peoples Bank.

35

Table of Contents
Peoples Bank offsets its exposure in the interest rate swap by entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with an unaffiliated institution. These interest rate swaps do not qualify as designated hedges; therefore, each interest rate swap is accounted for as a standalone derivative financial instrument. These interest rate swaps did not have a material impact on Peoples' results of operations or financial condition at or for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and at or for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Pledged Collateral
Peoples Bank pledges or receives collateral for all interest rate swaps. When the fair value of Peoples Bank interest rate swaps is in a net liability position, Peoples Bank must pledge collateral, and, when the fair value of Peoples Bank interest rate swaps is in a net asset position, the respective counterparties must pledge collateral. At June 30, 2024 and at December 31, 2023, Peoples Bank had no cash pledged, while counterparties had $15.4 million of cash pledged at June 30, 2024 and $12.8 million of cash pledged at December 31, 2023. Peoples Bank had no pledged investment securities at June 30, 2024 or at December 31, 2023, while the counterparties had pledged investment securities in the amounts of $2.0 million at June 30, 2024 and $2.2 million at December 31, 2023.
Note 11 Stock-Based Compensation
Under the Peoples Bancorp Inc. Fourth Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Plan (the "2006 Equity Plan"), Peoples may grant, among other awards, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted common share awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units and unrestricted common share awards to employees and non-employee directors. The total number of common shares available under the 2006 Equity Plan is 1,493,297. The maximum number of common shares that can be issued for incentive stock options is 750,000. Since February 2009, Peoples has granted restricted common shares to employees, and periodically to non-employee directors, subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by the 2006 Equity Plan. In general, common shares issued in connection with stock-based awards are issued from treasury shares to the extent available. If no treasury shares are available, common shares are issued from authorized but unissued common shares.
Restricted Common Shares
 Under the 2006 Equity Plan, Peoples may award restricted common shares to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. In general, the restrictions on the restricted common shares awarded to officers and key employees expire after periods ranging from one to five years. Since 2018, common shares awarded to non-employee directors have vested immediately upon grant with no restrictions. In the first six months of 2024, Peoples granted an aggregate of 283,712 restricted common shares subject to performance-based vesting to officers and key employees with restrictions that will lapse three years after the grant date; provided that in order for the restricted common shares to vest in full, Peoples must have reported positive net income and maintained a well-capitalized status by regulatory standards for each of the three fiscal years preceding the vesting date.
The following table summarizes the changes to Peoples’ restricted common shares for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

Stock-Based Compensation
Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation, which is included as a component of Peoples’ salaries and employee benefit costs, for restricted and unrestricted common shares, as well as purchases made by participants in the employee stock purchase plan. For restricted common shares, Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation based on the estimated fair value of the awards expected to vest on the grant date. The estimated fair value is then expensed over the vesting period, which is normally three years. Peoples also has an employee stock purchase plan whereby employees can purchase Peoples' common shares at a discount of 15%. The following table summarizes the amount of stock-based compensation expense and related tax benefit recognized for each period:

Note 13 Acquisitions
Limestone Bancorp, Inc.
As of the close of business on April 30, 2023, Peoples completed the Limestone Merger. In connection with the Limestone Merger, Limestone Bank, Inc., which operated 20 branches in Kentucky, merged into Peoples Bank. As consideration in the Limestone Merger, Limestone shareholders were paid 0.90 common shares of Peoples for each full share of Limestone that was owned at the merger date, resulting in the issuance of 6,827,668 common shares by Peoples, or aggregate consideration of $177.9 million. Peoples accounted for this transaction as a business combination under the acquisition method.
Peoples recorded no acquisition-related expenses related to the Limestone Merger for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $(0.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Peoples recorded acquisition-related expenses related to the Limestone Merger, which included $10.8 million and $11.2 million in non-interest expense for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. For the second quarter of 2023, the $10.8 million of non-interest expense consisted of $5.2 million in salaries and employee benefit costs, $4.8 million in professional fees, $0.5 million in insurance expense, and $0.3 million in various other non-interest expense line items.

The goodwill recorded in connection with the Limestone Merger is related to expected synergies to be gained from the combination of Limestone with Peoples' operations. The employees retained from the Limestone Merger and the geographic locations of Limestone should allow Peoples to continue to grow the loan and deposit portfolios while also increasing Peoples' ability to penetrate the new markets, which should benefit Peoples in future periods. During Peoples' evaluation of intangible assets, it was determined that an assembled workforce intangible asset was not separately recognizable and was included in goodwill. Peoples recorded a core deposit asset in other intangible assets related to the Limestone Merger.
Loans acquired by Peoples in a business combination that have evidence of more than insignificant credit deterioration, which includes loans as to which Peoples believes it is probable that Peoples will be unable to collect all contractually required payments, are considered "purchased credit deteriorated" (or "PCD") loans. Acquired PCD loans are reported net of the unamortized fair value adjustment. These loans are recorded at the purchase price, and an allowance for credit losses is determined based upon discrete credit marks, along with discounted cash flow models based upon similar pools of loans, using a similar methodology as for other loans.

Note 14 Leases
Peoples has elected certain practical expedients, in accordance with ASC 842 - Leases ("ASC 842"). As a lessor, Peoples has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the consideration in the contract, and from variable payments not included in the consideration in the contract, all sales and other similar taxes assessed. Peoples has also made an accounting policy election to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases subject to ASC 842.

Lessor Arrangements
Leases originated by Peoples, that Peoples has the positive intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or to maturity or payoff, are reported at the net investment in the lease, net of initial direct costs, charge-offs and an allowance for credit losses. Peoples considers leases past due if any required principal or interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the lease agreement. Upon detection of the reduced ability of a lessee to meet cash flow obligations, a lease is typically charged down to the net realizable value, with the residual balance placed on nonaccrual status. Leases deemed to be uncollectable are charged against the allowance for credit losses, while recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for credit losses.
Peoples originates sales-type leases through its NSL division, as these leases are structured as dollar buy-out, whereby the lessee pays one dollar at maturity of the lease to purchase the equipment. These leases do not typically contain residual value guarantees; however, if a lease contains a residual value guarantee, Peoples reduces its residual asset risk by obtaining a security deposit from the lessee. Peoples also originates leases through its Vantage subsidiary, which are classified as either sales-type, direct financing leases, or operating leases based primarily on whether they included a dollar buy-out or a fair market value buy-out, respectively. As a lessor, Peoples originates commercial equipment leases either directly to the customer or indirectly through vendor programs. Equipment leases relate to automotive, construction, health care, manufacturing, office, restaurant, information technology and other equipment. Finance leases include an estimated residual value, which is assessed for impairment as part of the allowance for credit losses. Lease income noted in the table below includes (i) gains on the early termination of leases, (ii) fees received for referrals, (iii) gains and losses recognized on the sales of residual assets and (iv) syndication income. Additional information regarding Peoples' leases can be found in "Note 4 Loans and Leases."

Lessee Arrangements
Peoples leases certain banking facilities and equipment under various agreements with original terms providing for fixed monthly payments over periods generally ranging from two to thirty years. Certain leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Only those renewal and termination options which Peoples is reasonably certain of exercising are included in the calculation of the lease liability. Certain leases contain rent escalation clauses calling for rent increases over the term of the lease, which are included in the calculation of the lease liability. At June 30, 2024, Peoples did not have any leases that met the criteria for finance leases. Right of Use ("ROU") assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement or the remeasurement date of a lease based on the present value of lease payments over the remaining lease term. Operating lease ROU assets include lease payments made at or before the commencement date and initial indirect costs. Operating lease ROU assets are presented net of any lease incentives. Short-term leases of certain facilities and equipment, with lease terms of 12 months or less, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not have an ROU asset or lease liability.
The table below details Peoples' lease expense, which is included in "Net occupancy and equipment expense" in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations:

RISK FACTORS" of Peoples' 2023 Form 10-K. Peoples encourages readers of this Form 10-Q to understand forward-looking statements to be strategic objectives rather than absolute targets of future performance. Peoples undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the filing of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by applicable legal requirements. Copies of documents filed with the SEC are available free of charge at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov and/or from Peoples' website – www.peoplesbancorp.com under the “Investor Relations” section.
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the filing date of this Form 10-Q and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. Although management believes the expectations in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of management’s knowledge of Peoples’ business and operations, it is possible that actual results may differ materially from these projections.
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, and Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, contained in Peoples’ 2023 Form 10-K, as well as the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, ratios, statistics and discussions contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Business Overview
The following discussion and analysis of Peoples’ Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of the financial condition and results of operations.
Peoples is a diversified financial services holding company that makes available a complete line of banking, trust and investment, insurance, premium financing and equipment leasing solutions through its subsidiaries. Peoples provides services through traditional offices, automated teller machines ("ATMs"), interactive teller machines ("ITMs"), mobile banking, telephone and internet-based banking. Peoples offers a complete array of insurance products through Peoples Insurance, a subsidiary of Peoples Bank. Brokerage services are offered by Peoples exclusively through an unaffiliated registered broker-dealer located at Peoples Bank's offices. Peoples Bank offers insurance premium finance lending nationwide through its Peoples Premium Finance division. Peoples also offers lease financing through its North Star Leasing division and through Vantage, a subsidiary of Peoples Bank. As of June 30, 2024, Peoples had 150 locations, including 130 full-service bank branches in Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Washington D.C. and Maryland. Peoples Bank is subject to regulation and examination primarily by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions (the "ODFI"), the FRB of Cleveland and the FDIC. Peoples Bank must also follow the regulations promulgated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "CFPB"), which regulates consumer financial products and services and certain financial services providers. Peoples Insurance is subject to regulation by the Ohio Department of Insurance and the state insurance regulatory agencies of those states in which Peoples Insurance may do business.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of Peoples conform to US GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Note 1 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements describes Peoples' significant accounting policies. Management has identified the accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to understanding Peoples’ Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and this MD&A at June 30, 2024, which have been disclosed in Peoples' 2023 Form 10-K and updated in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in this Form 10-Q. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the policies disclosed in Peoples’ 2023 Form 10-K.
Summary of Recent Transactions and Events
The following is a summary of recent transactions and events that have impacted or are expected to impact Peoples’ results of operations or financial condition:
◦For the first six months of 2024, Peoples incurred $(0.1) million of acquisition-related expenses compared to $11.3 million for the first six months of 2023. Peoples recorded acquisition-related expenses, primarily related to the Limestone Merger, which included $(0.1) million for the first quarter of 2024 and $10.7 million for the second quarter of 2023.

45

Table of Contents
There was no such expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
◦For the second quarter of 2024, Peoples recorded a provision for credit losses of $5.7 million, compared to a provision for credit losses of $6.1 million for the linked quarter and a provision for credit losses of $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2023. For the first half of 2024, Peoples recorded a provision for credit losses of $11.8 million, compared to a provision for credit losses of $9.8 million for 2023. The provision for credit losses for the second quarter and the first six months of 2024 was mainly the result of (i) higher net charge-offs, (ii) an increase of reserves on individually analyzed loans and leases and (iii) loan growth. For more information, please refer to the section titled "RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Provision for Credit Losses" found later in this discussion.
◦On October 25, 2022, Peoples announced the Limestone Merger, a transaction valued at $177.9 million. The Limestone Merger closed as of the close of business on April 30, 2023. Peoples acquired Limestone's loan portfolio totaling $1.1 billion, $1.2 billion of deposits, $172.7 million of total investment securities, an aggregate of $99.5 million of short-term and long-term borrowings, and $93.5 million of total cash and cash equivalents. Peoples also recorded goodwill in the amount of $68.8 million and other intangible assets of $27.7 million, which consisted of core deposit intangibles.
◦To combat the effects of ongoing inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve Board increased the Federal Funds Target Rate range to 0.25% to 0.50% beginning on March 16, 2022, and continued to raise rates up to 5.50% on July 27, 2023. The Federal Reserve Board has kept rates unchanged since July 2023 but has signaled that it may begin reducing rates sometime in 2024.
The impact of these transactions and events, where material, is discussed in the applicable sections of this MD&A.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Peoples reported net income of $29.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, representing earnings per diluted common share of $0.82. In comparison, Peoples reported net income of $29.6 million, representing earnings per diluted common share of $0.84, for the first quarter of 2024, and net income of $21.1 million, representing earnings per diluted common share of $0.64, for the second quarter of 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, Peoples recorded net income of $58.6 million, or $1.66 per diluted common share, compared to $47.7 million, or $1.56 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Non-core items negatively impacted earnings per diluted common share by $0.02 for the second quarter of 2024, $0.01 for the first quarter of 2024, and $0.28 for the second quarter of 2023. Non-core items negatively impacted earnings per diluted share by $0.02 and $0.37 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net interest income was $86.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, which was flat when to compared to the linked quarter. Net interest margin was 4.18% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 4.26% for the linked quarter. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily driven by a decrease in accretion income, net of amortization, from our acquisitions and higher borrowing costs. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2024 increased $1.8 million, or 2%, compared to the second quarter of 2023. Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2024 was 4.18% and decreased 36 basis points compared to 4.54% for the second quarter of 2023, driven primarily by an increase in interest expense on deposits. For the first six months of 2024, net interest income increased $15.5 million, or 10%, compared to the first six months of 2023, while net interest margin decreased 32 basis points to 4.22%. The increase in net interest income was driven by increases in market interest rates and an additional four months of income from the Limestone Merger. The decrease in net interest margin for the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023 was primarily driven by higher borrowing costs, which offset higher earning asset yields.
Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, $6.5 million for the first quarter of 2024 and $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2023, which added 28 basis points, 32 basis points and 23 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The decrease in accretion income for the second quarter of 2024 when compared to the linked quarter was driven by lower pay-offs. The increase in accretion income for the current quarter compared to the second quarter of 2023 was a result of the accretion from the Limestone Merger. Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which added 30 and 18 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The increase in accretion income for the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was due to an additional four months of accretion in 2024 from the Limestone Merger.
The provision for credit losses was $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to a provision for credit losses of $6.1 million for the linked quarter and a provision for credit losses of $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2023. The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024 was a result of (i) higher net charge-offs, (ii) an increase of reserves for individually analyzed loans and leases, and (iii) loan growth. The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2024 was driven by (i) a deterioration in macro-economic conditions used within the CECL model, (ii) an increase of reserves on individually analyzed loans and leases and (iii) loan growth. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2024 were $4.2 million, or 0.27% of average total loans annualized, compared to net charge-offs of $3.3 million, or 0.22% of average total loans annualized, for the linked quarter and net charge-offs of $1.2 million, or 0.09% of average total loans annualized, for the second quarter of 2024.

The provision for credit losses for the first six months of 2024 was $11.8 million, compared to a provision for credit losses of $9.8 million for the first six months of 2023. The provision for credit losses for the first six months of 2024 was mainly the result of (i) higher net charge-offs, (ii) an increase in reserves for individually analyzed loans and leases and (iii) loan growth. The provision for credit losses for the first six months of 2023 was driven by (i) the addition of the provision for the non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, (ii) loan growth and (iii) economic forecast deterioration, partially offset by a reduction in the reserves for individually analyzed loans and leases and the use of updated loss drivers. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 2024 were $7.6 million, or 0.24% of average total loans annualized, compared to net charge-offs of $2.7 million, or 0.11% annualized, for the first six months of 2023. For additional information on credit trends and the allowance for credit losses, see the "Asset Quality" section below.
Net gains and losses include gains and losses on investment securities, asset disposals and other transactions, which are included in total non-interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The net loss realized during the second quarter of 2024 was $0.8 million, compared to a net loss of $0.3 million for the linked quarter and a net loss of $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2023. The net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was due to $0.4 million of net losses on repossessed assets. The net loss for the linked quarter was due to $0.3 million of net losses on repossessed assets. The net loss for the second quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by a $1.6 million write-down of an OREO property due to a potential sale of the property. The net loss realized during the first six months of 2024 was $1.1 million, compared to $4.0 million for the first six months of 2023. The net loss for the first six months of 2024 was driven by the $0.7 million of net losses on repossessed assets mentioned above. The net loss for the first six months of 2023 was primarily driven by a $2.0 million pre-tax net loss on the sale of available-for-sale investment securities and the $1.6 million writedown of the OREO property mentioned above. Peoples sold $96.7 million of it's lower yielding available-for-sale investment securities, with proceeds from the sale used to pay down overnight borrowings.
Total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, for the second quarter of 2024 decreased $1.6 million compared to the linked quarter. The decrease in non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, was primarily due to a decrease of $2.4 million in insurance income due primarily to seasonal performance-based commissions being paid in the first quarter of each year. Partially offsetting the decrease was an increase of $0.4 million in each of electronic banking income and trust and investment income. Compared to the second quarter of 2023, total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, increased $1.6 million, primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in other non-interest income, driven by operating lease income, and a $0.6 million increase in trust and investment income, partially offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in lease income. The other increases for the second quarter of 2024, when compared to the second quarter of 2023, were primarily due to the additional customers brought in from the Limestone Merger and increases of assets under administration and management.
For the first six months of 2024, total non-interest income, excluding gains and losses, increased $6.5 million, or 15%, compared to the first six months of 2023. The increase was driven by (i) a $2.1 million increase in other non-interest income, driven by operating lease income, (ii) a $1.2 million increase in insurance income, (iii) a $1.1 million increase in trust and investment income, (iv) a $1.0 million increase in bank owned life insurance income, (v) a $0.9 million increase in deposit account service charge income, and (vi) a $0.6 million increase in electronic banking income, offset by a decrease of $0.4 million in lease income. The other increases for the first six months of 2024, when compared to the first six months of 2023, were primarily due to the additional customers brought in from the Limestone Merger, increases of assets under management, higher insurance performance-based commission, and market increases for insurance premiums.
Total non-interest expense increased $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the linked quarter. The increase in total non-interest expense was primarily due to increases of $2.2 million in other non-interest expense driven by a one-time true-up of $1.3 million of corporate expenses and $1.0 million in data processing and software expense driven by higher expenses attributable to recent technology projects, partially offset by a decrease of $2.3 million in salaries and employee benefit costs. The decrease in salaries and employee benefit costs was due to anticipated annual expenses that occur in the first quarter of each year including stock-based compensation expenses attributable to retirement-eligible employees and health savings account ("HSA") contributions.
Compared to the second quarter of 2023, total non-interest expense decreased $1.9 million, or 3%. Excluding acquisition-related expenses, non-interest expenses increased $8.8 million, or 15%, primarily due to increases of $3.6 million in salaries and employee benefit costs due to additional employees added in the Limestone Merger and $2.0 million data processing and software expense due to recent technology projects.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, total non-interest expense increased $10.1 million, or 8%, compared to the first six months of 2023. Excluding acquisition-related expenses, non-interest expenses increased $21.5 million, or 19%, primarily due to increases of $10.5 million in salaries and employee benefit costs due to additional employees added in the Limestone Merger, $3.2 million and $2.1 million in data processing and software expense and in net occupancy and equipment expense, respectively, due to recent technology projects and growth, included through acquisitions.

The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2024 was 59.2%, compared to 58.1% for the linked quarter, and 62.8% for the second quarter of 2023. The improvement in the efficiency ratio compared to the prior year quarter was largely a result of a decrease in acquisition-related expenses. The efficiency ratio, adjusted for non-core items, was 59.2% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 58.1% for the linked quarter and 53.3% for the second quarter of 2023. The efficiency ratio and the adjusted efficiency ratio for non-core items increased compared to the linked quarterly mainly as a result of a reduction in non-interest income. The efficiency ratio for the first six months of 2024 was 58.6%, compared to 60.4% for the first six months of 2023. The efficiency ratio improved compared to the prior year first six months due to the decrease in acquisition-related expenses. The efficiency ratio, adjusted for non-core items, was 58.7% for the first six months of 2024, compared to 55.2% for the first six months of 2023. Peoples continues to focus on controlling expenses, while recognizing necessary costs in order to continue growing the business.
Peoples recorded income tax expense of $6.9 million with an effective tax rate of 19.1% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to income tax expense of $8.3 million with an effective tax rate of 21.8% for the linked quarter, and income tax expense of $6.2 million with an effective tax rate of 22.6% for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in income tax expense for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the linked quarter was driven by a $1.1 million one-time benefit related to a prior year amended return. Peoples recorded income tax expense of $15.1 million with an effective tax rate of 20.5% for the first six months of 2024 and $13.2 million with an effective tax rate of 21.7% for the first six months of 2023. The increase was driven by higher pre-tax income.
At June 30, 2024, total assets were $9.23 billion, compared to $9.27 billion at March 31, 2024, $9.16 billion at December 31, 2023 and $8.79 billion at June 30, 2023. Total assets at June 30, 2024 decreased when compared to at March 31, 2024 primarily due to a decrease in interest-bearing deposits in other banks, partially offset by increases in loans and investment securities. The period-end total loan and lease balances at June 30, 2024 increased $122.5 million, or 8% annualized, compared to at March 31, 2024. The increase in the period-end total loan and lease balances was primarily driven by increases of (i) $54.4 million in premium finance loans, (ii) $43.4 million in commercial and industrial loans, (iii) $25.9 million in construction loans, and (iv) $24.8 million in indirect consumer loans, partially offset by a reduction of $47.8 million in other commercial real estate loans. Total assets at June 30, 2024 increased compared to December 31, 2023 due to increases of $166.2 million in total loans and leases and $88.5 million in investment securities, partially offset by a decrease of $190.9 million in total cash and cash equivalents. Total assets at June 30, 2024 increased compared to June 30, 2023 due to an increase of $350.8 million in total loans and leases. The period-end loan and lease balance at June 30, 2024 increase compared to June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by organic growth in our premium finance, other commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and lease portfolios of $130.1 million, $124.5 million, $97.8 million, and $52.9 million, respectively.
Total liabilities were $8.15 billion at June 30, 2024, down from $8.21 billion at March 31, 2024, $8.10 billion at December 31, 2023 and $7.79 billion at June 30, 2023. The decrease in total liabilities when compared to at March 31, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease of $28.8 million in period-end total deposits. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases of (i) $70.8 million in brokered CDs, (ii) $58.8 million in governmental deposit accounts, and (iii) $24.2 million in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, partially offset by an increase of $132.5 million in retail CDs. The increase in retail CDs was due to current specials being offered, while the decrease in governmental deposit accounts was due to the seasonality of those balances, which are typically higher in the first quarter. Excluding a decrease in brokered CDs of $70.8 million, core deposits were up $42.0 million compared to the linked quarter, driven by the aforementioned increase in retail CDs and higher money market deposit accounts. The increase in total liabilities when compared to at December 31, 2023 was primarily due to increases of $369.5 million in retail CDs and $93.7 million in money market deposit accounts, partially offset by decreases of (i) $162.8 million in brokered deposits, (ii) $95.0 million in non-interest bearing deposits, and (iii) $60.8 million in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts. The increase in total liabilities when compared to at June 30, 2023 was primarily due to a $337.9 million increase in period in deposits. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $862.1 million in retail CDs, $150.5 million in money market deposit accounts, and $60.7 million in governmental deposit accounts, offset by decreases of $236.1 million, $209.9 million, $147.3 million, and $142.1 million in savings accounts, non-interest bearing deposits, brokered CDs, and interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, respectively. The increase in retail CDs was driven by current promotions being offered.
Total stockholders' equity at June 30, 2024 increased by $15.8 million compared to at March 31, 2024, which was primarily due to net income for the second quarter of 2024 of $29.0 million, partially offset by dividends paid of $14.2 million. Accumulated unrealized losses related to the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio were $110.2 million and $111.8 million at June 30, 2024 and at March 31, 2024, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, the amount by which interest income exceeds interest expense, remains Peoples' largest source of revenue. The amount of net interest income earned by Peoples each quarter is affected by various factors, including changes in market interest rates due to the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, the level and degree of pricing competition for loans and deposits in Peoples’ markets, and the amount and composition of Peoples' earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. 
Net interest margin, which is calculated by dividing fully tax-equivalent ("FTE") net interest income by average interest-earning assets, serves as an important measurement of the net revenue stream generated by the volume, mix and pricing of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. FTE net interest income is calculated by increasing interest income to convert tax-exempt income earned on obligations of states and political subdivisions and tax-exempt loans to the pre-tax equivalent of taxable income using a federal statutory corporate income tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Peoples' average balances compared to prior periods have been impacted by recent acquisitions, including the Limestone Merger as of the close of business on April 30, 2023, which added to average loan, deposit and borrowed funds balances. Peoples' cash balances have increased primarily due to an increase in interest-bearing deposits in other banks, mostly with the FRB. The increases in market interest rates have increased asset yields and deposit outflows (which have increased borrowings).

Compared to the linked quarter, net interest income was relatively flat for the second quarter of 2024. Net interest margin was 4.18% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to 4.26% for the linked quarter. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily driven by a decrease in accretion income, net of amortization, from our acquisitions and higher borrowing costs, which offset higher earning asset yields.

53

Table of Contents
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2024 grew 2% over the prior year quarter and net interest margin decreased by 36 basis points. The increase in net interest income compared to the second quarter of 2023 was driven by increases in market interest rates, the Limestone Merger, and organic growth. The decrease in net interest margin for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023, was driven primarily by an increase in interest expense on deposits.
For the first six months of 2024, net interest income increased $15.5 million, or 10%, compared to the first six months of 2023, while net interest margin decreased 32 basis points to 4.22%. The increase in net interest income was driven by increases in market interest rates and an additional four months of income from the Limestone Merger. The decrease in net interest margin for the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023 was primarily driven by higher borrowing costs, which offset higher earning asset yields.
Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2024, $6.5 million for the linked quarter and $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2023, which added 28 basis points, 32 basis points and 23 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The decrease in accretion income for the second quarter of 2024, when compared to the linked quarter was driven by lower loan pay-offs. The increase in accretion income for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 was a result of accretion from the Limestone Merger. For the first half of 2023, accretion income totaled $12.3 million and added 30 basis points to net interest margin compared to $6.5 million and 18 basis points for the first half of 2023. The increase in accretion income for the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was due to more accretion in 2024 from the Limestone Merger.

Provision for credit losses $ 5,683  $ 6,102  $ 7,983  $ 11,785  $ 9,836 
The provision for credit losses recorded represents the amount needed to maintain the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses based on management’s quarterly estimates. The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024 was a result of (i) higher net-charge offs, (ii) an increase in reserves for individually analyzed loans and leases, and (iii) loan growth. The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2023 was due to a provision for the non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, partially offset by the release of reserves on individually analyzed loans and improvements in macro-economic conditions.
For the first half of 2024, the provision for credit losses was mainly the result of (i) higher net charge-offs, (ii) an increase of reserves on individually analyzed loans and leases and (iii) loan growth. For the first six months of 2023, the provision for credit losses was driven by (i) the addition of the provision for the non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, (ii) loan growth and (iii) economic forecast deterioration, partially offset by a reduction in the reserves for individually analyzed loans and leases and the use of updated loss drivers.
Additional information regarding changes in the allowance for credit losses and loan credit quality can be found later in this MD&A under the caption “FINANCIAL CONDITION - Allowance for Credit Losses.”

Net Loss Included in Total Non-Interest Income
Net loss includes net losses on investment securities, asset disposals and other transactions, which are recognized in total non-interest income. The following table details Peoples’ net losses for the periods presented:

Net loss on asset disposals and other transactions $ (428) $ (341) $ (1,665) $ (769) $ (1,911)
The net loss on investment securities for the second quarter of 2024 was driven by the loss recorded on a contingent call of a security. During the first quarter of 2023, Peoples executed sales of $96.7 million of its lower yielding available-for-sale securities which were used to pay down overnight borrowings. The loss on the sales of the available-for-sale investment securities had a nominal impact on tangible book value as such loss was previously reflected in capital through accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was driven primarily by $0.4 million of net losses on repossessed assets. The net loss on asset disposals and other transactions for the first quarter of 2024 was due to $0.3 million of net losses on repossessed assets. During the second quarter of 2023, Peoples recognized a $1.6 million write-down of an OREO property due to the potential sale of the property.
Total Non-Interest Income, Excluding Net Gains and Losses
Total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, comprised 22% of Peoples' total revenues (defined as net interest income plus total non-interest income excluding net gains and losses) for the second quarter of 2024, 23% for the linked quarter, and 21% for the second quarter of 2023. For the first six months of 2024, total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, totaled 23% of total revenues compared to 22% for the first six months of 2023.
For the second quarter of 2024, electronic banking income comprised the largest portion of Peoples' total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses. Peoples' electronic banking ("e-banking") services include ATM and debit cards, direct deposit services, internet and mobile banking, and remote deposit capture, and serve as alternative delivery channels to traditional sales offices for providing services to customers. The following table details Peoples' e-banking income:

Peoples' e-banking income is derived largely from ATM and debit cards, as other services are mainly provided at no charge to customers. The amount of e-banking income is largely dependent on the timing and volume of customer activity. E-banking income increased for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the linked quarter primarily driven by an increase in customer activity.

Peoples' insurance income for the second quarter of 2024 decreased $2.4 million when compared to the linked quarter. The decrease in insurance income was due to seasonal performance-based commissions, which are annual in nature and typically occur in the first quarter of each year. Insurance income for the second quarter of 2024 increased $0.1 million when compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to new business and market increases for premiums. Insurance income in the first half of 2024 increased 12% when compared to the first half of 2023 due to higher commissions and additional customers.

Fiduciary income and brokerage income increased in the second quarter of 2024 relative to the linked quarter due to market performance. When compared to the second quarter of 2023, fiduciary income and brokerage income increased, which was driven by an increase in assets under administration and management. For the first half of 2024, trust and investment income increased when compared to the same period in 2023 due to higher fiduciary and brokerage income, primarily reflecting market volatility.

The increases in assets under administration and management at June 30, 2024 compared to at March 31, 2024 were driven by market value fluctuations. The increases in assets under administration and management at June 30, 2024 when compared to at June 30, 2023 were primarily due to recent growth, through acquisitions, as Peoples added new accounts and the underlying market values of assets under management grew.

The amount of deposit account service charges, particularly fees for overdrafts and non-sufficient funds, is largely dependent on the timing and volume of customer activity. Management periodically evaluates its cost recovery fees to ensure they are reasonable based on operational costs and similar to fees charged in Peoples' markets by competitors. Deposit account service charges increased for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the linked quarter due to seasonality of customer activity. Deposit account service charges increased when comparing the second quarter of 2024 to the second quarter of 2023 due to the Limestone Merger. Deposit account service charges also increased for the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 due to the Limestone Merger.

Table of Contents
The increase in other non-interest income when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2024 to the linked quarter and the prior year quarter was primarily due to an increase in operating lease income. The increase in other non-interest income for the first six months of 2024 when compared to the same period of 2023 was driven by increased operating lease income.
Bank owned life insurance income for the second quarter of 2024 decreased compared to the linked quarter primarily due to a $0.5 million death benefit recorded in the first quarter of 2024. Bank owned life insurance income for the second quarter and the first six months of 2024 increased when compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2023, due to the additional insurance policies acquired in the Limestone Merger and the aforementioned death benefit.
Lease income is primarily comprised of (i) gains on the early termination of leases, net of any associated purchase accounting adjustments, (ii) month-to-month lease payments in excess of net investment in the lease, net of any associated purchase accounting adjustment, (iii) fees received for referrals, (iv) gains and losses recognized on the sales of residual assets and (v) syndication income. Lease income for the second quarter of 2024 decreased compared to the second quarter of 2023 due to a decrease in gains on terminated leases and lower syndication income.
Mortgage banking income is comprised mostly of net gains from the origination and sale of real estate loans in the secondary market, and, to a lesser extent, servicing income for loans sold with servicing retained. As a result, the amount of income recognized by Peoples is largely dependent on customer demand and long-term interest rates for residential real estate loans offered in the secondary market. Mortgage banking income for the second quarter of 2024 was relatively flat when compared to each of the prior periods.
In the second quarter of 2024, Peoples sold $2.6 million in loans into the secondary market with servicing retained and $11.8 million in loans with servicing released, compared to $0.2 million and $6.9 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2024, and $1.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2023. For the first six months of 2024, Peoples sold $2.7 million in loans into the secondary market with servicing retained, and $18.8 million with servicing released, compared to $1.9 million and $13.5 million, respectively, for the first six months of 2023.
Non-Interest Expense
Salaries and employee benefit costs remain Peoples' largest non-interest expense, accounting for over one-half of total non-interest expense. The following table details Peoples' salaries and employee benefit costs:

Base salaries and wages for the second quarter of 2024 remained relatively flat compared to the linked quarter. The current quarter decrease compared to the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the decrease of acquisition-related expenses. Base salaries and wages for the first six months of 2024 increased compared to the first six months of 2023 due to the additional expense associated with employees added with the Limestone Merger coupled with annual merit increases.
Sales-based incentive compensation for the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023 increased primarily due to additional employees added with the Limestone Merger.
The increase in employee benefits for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the linked quarter and the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to increased medical costs. The increase for the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023 was primarily due to higher medical costs reflecting a full six months of expenses in 2024 for the additional employees added with the Limestone Merger.
Payroll taxes and other employment costs for the second quarter of 2024 decreased compared to the linked quarter due to seasonal expenses recognized in the first quarter of each year. Also impacting the increase in payroll taxes and other employment costs when compared to the second quarter of 2023 were the additional employees added in the Limestone Merger. The increase for the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023 was driven by the additional employees added in the Limestone Merger coupled with annual merit increases.

Stock-based compensation is generally recognized over the vesting period, which generally ranges from immediate vesting to vesting at the end of three years. An adjustment is made at the vesting date to reverse expense relating to forfeitures for performance awards, and at the date of forfeiture to reverse expense for non-vested restricted common share awards. Stock grants to retirement eligible grantees are expensed either immediately or over a shorter period than three years. The majority of Peoples' stock-based compensation is attributable to annual equity-based incentive awards to employees, which are awarded in the first quarter of each year based upon Peoples achieving certain performance goals during the prior year, and are generally contingent on employment through the vesting period. Stock-based compensation for the second quarter of 2024 decreased when compared to the first quarter of 2024 due to seasonal expenses recognized in the first quarter of each year.
Deferred personnel costs represent the portion of current period salaries and employee benefit costs considered to be direct loan origination costs. These costs are capitalized and recognized over the life of the loan as a yield adjustment in interest income. As a result, the amount of deferred personnel costs for each period corresponds directly with the volume of loan originations, coupled with the average deferred costs per loan that are updated annually at the beginning of each year. Deferred personnel costs for the second quarter of 2024 increased when compared to both the first quarter of 2024 and the second quarter of 2023 due to an increase in loan origination volume.

Data processing and software expenses for the second quarter of 2024 increased compared to the linked quarter due to higher expenses attributable to recent technology projects. The increase for the second quarter and the first six months of 2024 when compared to the same periods in 2023 was driven by software upgrades and implementation of new systems, coupled with the increased size of Peoples' organization as a result of the Limestone Merger.
Professional fees for the second quarter of 2024 were flat when compared to the linked quarter. Professional fees for the second quarter and first six months of 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 decreased due to less acquisition-related expenses.

Amortization of other intangible assets for the second quarter of 2024 was flat compared to the linked quarter and the prior year quarter. Amortization of other intangible assets for the first six months of 2024 increased when compared to the same period of 2023 due to amortization of intangible assets recognized in the Limestone Merger.
Peoples' e-banking expense is comprised of costs associated with debit and ATM cards. The increase in electronic banking income compared to the linked quarter and the first quarter of 2023 was due to an increase in customer activity. E-banking expense increased for the first six months of 2024 when compared to the first six months of 2023 due to additional customers brought in from the Limestone Merger.
Peoples' FDIC insurance premiums for the second quarter of 2024 were relatively flat when compared to the linked quarter and the first quarter of 2023. FDIC insurance premiums for the first six months of 2024 increased when compared to the first six months of 2023 due to organic and acquisitive growth and an increase in rates assessed by the FDIC.
Other loan expenses during the second quarter of 2024 were relatively flat when compared to the linked quarter. Other loan expenses increased for the second quarter and the first six months of 2024 when compared to the same periods of 2023 primarily due to increases in miscellaneous loan and collection expenses as a result of increased insurance costs associated with consumer indirect loans.
Marketing expense for the second quarter of 2024 decreased when compared to the linked quarter due to lower advertising expense. Marketing expense for the second quarter and the first six months of 2024 decreased when compared to the same periods of 2023 due to lower acquisition-related expenses.
Peoples is subject to state franchise taxes, which are based largely on Peoples' equity, in the states where Peoples has a physical presence. Franchise tax expense also includes the Ohio Financial Institution Tax ("FIT"), which is a business privilege tax that is imposed on financial institutions organized for profit and doing business in Ohio. The Ohio FIT is based on the total equity capital in proportion to the taxpayer's gross receipts in Ohio as of the most recent year-end. The decrease in franchise tax expense for the second quarter of 2024 when compared to the second quarter of 2023 was driven by a lower apportionment in Ohio.
Other non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2024 increased when compared to the linked quarter and the second quarter of 2023 due to a one-time prior period true-up of corporate expenses.
Income Tax Expense
Peoples recorded income tax expense of $6.9 million with an effective tax rate of 19.1% for the second quarter of 2024, compared to income tax expense of $8.3 million with an effective tax rate of 21.8% for the linked quarter and income tax expense of $6.2 million with an effective tax rate of 22.6% for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in income tax expense when compared to the prior quarter was driven by a $1.1 million one-time benefit related to a prior year amended return. The increase in income tax expense when compared to the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to higher pre-tax income. Peoples recorded income tax expense of $15.1 million with an effective tax rate of 20.5% in the first six months of 2024 and $13.2 million with an effective tax rate of 21.7% in the first six months of 2023. The increase was driven by higher pre-tax income.
Additional information regarding income taxes can be found in "Note 13. Income Taxes" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2023 Form 10-K.
Pre-Provision Net Revenue (Non-US GAAP)
Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR") has become a key financial measure used by state and federal bank regulatory agencies when assessing the capital adequacy of financial institutions. PPNR is defined as net interest income plus total non-interest income, excluding all gains and losses, minus total non-interest expense. As a result, PPNR represents the earnings capacity that can be either retained in order to build capital or used to absorb unexpected losses and preserve existing capital. This measure represents a Non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the provision for (recovery of) credit losses and all gains and losses included in earnings.

The decrease in the PPNR for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the linked quarter was driven by decreased non-interest income and lower accretion income. The increase in PPNR for the second quarter of 2024 when compared to the second quarter of 2023 was due to increased net interest income reflecting the positive impact of the additional net interest income from Limestone customers after the Limestone Merger.
Core Non-Interest Expense (Non-US GAAP)
Core non-interest expense is a financial measure used to evaluate Peoples' recurring expense stream. This measure is Non-US GAAP since it excludes the impact of all acquisition-related expenses.

Efficiency Ratio (Non-US GAAP)
The efficiency ratio is a key financial measure used to monitor performance. The efficiency ratio is calculated as total non-interest expense (less amortization of other intangible assets) as a percentage of FTE net interest income plus total non-interest income excluding net gains and losses. This measure is Non-US GAAP since it excludes amortization of other intangible assets and all gains and losses included in earnings, and uses FTE net interest income.

(a) Interest income and yields are presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis, using a 21% statutory federal corporate income tax rate.
The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2024 when compared to the linked quarter was higher as the result of a reduction in fee-based income and improved compared to prior year quarter due to the decrease in acquisition-related expenses. The efficiency ratio, adjusted for non-core items, increased compared to the linked quarter mainly as a result of a reduction in non-interest income. The efficiency ratio for the first six months of 2024 improved compared to the prior year first six months due to the decrease in acquisition-related expenses. The efficiency ratio, adjusted for non-core items, increased for the first six months of 2024 when compared to the first six months of 2023, primarily due to increased non-interest expense. Peoples continues to focus on controlling expenses, while recognizing necessary costs in order to continue growing the business.
Return on Average Assets Adjusted for Non-Core Items Ratio (Non-US GAAP)
In addition to return on average assets, management uses return on average assets adjusted for non-core items to monitor performance. The return on average assets adjusted for non-core items ratio represents a Non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the after-tax impact of all gains and losses and acquisition-related expenses.

The return on average assets and the return on average assets adjusted for non-core items for the second quarter of 2024 decreased when compared to the linked quarter, due to a decrease in annualized net income resulting from lower non-interest income and by an increase in average assets. The decrease in the return on average assets adjusted for non-core items for the second quarter of 2024, compared to the second quarter of 2023, was attributable to an increase in annualized net income primarily due to an increase in net interest income, partially offset by the assets acquired in the Limestone Merger and an increase in expenses. The decrease in return on average assets adjusted for non-core items for the first six months of 2024 when compared to the first six months of 2023, was primarily driven by an increase in annualized net income, partially offset with assets acquired in the Limestone Merger.
Return on Average Tangible Equity Ratio (Non-US GAAP)
The return on average tangible equity ratio is a key financial measure used to monitor performance. This ratio is calculated as annualized net income (less the after-tax impact of amortization of other intangible assets) divided by average tangible equity.

Table of Contents
This measure is Non-US GAAP since it excludes amortization of other intangible assets from earnings and the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on total stockholders' equity.

The return on total average stockholders' equity and average tangible equity ratios decreased when compared to the linked quarter due to a decrease in annualized net income mainly attributable to a decrease in non-interest income. The increases in the return on total average stockholders' equity and average tangible equity ratios in the second quarter of 2024 when compared to the same period of 2023 were due to an increase in total net interest income driven by the 2023 increases in market interest rates and additional net interest income from Limestone following the Limestone Merger.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash and Cash Equivalents
At June 30, 2024, Peoples' interest-bearing deposits in other banks had decreased $199.2 million from December 31, 2023. The total cash and cash equivalents balance included $109.7 million of excess cash reserves being maintained at the FRB of Cleveland at June 30, 2024, compared to $309.8 million at December 31, 2023. The amount of excess cash reserves maintained is dependent upon Peoples' daily liquidity position, which is driven primarily by changes in deposit and loan balances.
Through the first six months of 2024, Peoples' total cash and cash equivalents decreased $190.9 million, which reflected cash outflows of $273.4 million of cash used in investing activities, partially offset by cash inflows of $69.1 million of cash provided by operating activities and $13.4 million of cash provided by financing activities. Peoples' use of cash in investing activities reflected a $164.5 million net increase in loans held for investment and a net cash outflow from available-for-sale investment securities of $83.4 million. The cash provided by financing activities was largely driven by a $240.4 million net increase in interest-bearing deposits, mostly offset by a net decrease in short-term borrowings of $118.4 million and a net decrease in non-interest bearing deposits of $95.0 million.
Further information regarding the management of Peoples' liquidity position can be found later in this discussion under “Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity.”

For the second quarter of 2024, total investment securities increased compared to all prior periods due to higher yielding, longer duration securities booked to held-to-maturity. During the fourth quarter of 2023, Peoples executed the sales of $36.5 million of lower yielding available-for-sale investment securities for an after-tax loss of $1.3 million. Proceeds from the sales were used to purchase higher yielding agency investment securities. The realized losses recognized due to the fourth quarter of 2023 sales are expected to be earned back within 14 months of the transaction dates.

The period-end total loan and lease balances at June 30, 2024 increased $122.5 million, or 8% annualized, compared to at March 31, 2024. The increase in the period-end loan and lease balance at June 30, 2024 compared to March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by increases of (i) $54.4 million in premium finance loans, (ii) $43.4 million in commercial and industrial loans, (iii) $25.9 million in construction loans, (iv) and $24.8 million in indirect consumer loans. These were partially offset by a decrease of $47.8 million in other commercial real estate loans. The increase in the period-end loan and lease balances at June 30, 2024 compared to at June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by loan growth.

Loan Concentration
Peoples categorizes its commercial loans according to standard industry classifications and monitors for concentrations in a single industry or multiple industries that could be impacted by changes in economic conditions in a similar manner. Peoples' commercial lending activities continue to be spread over a diverse range of businesses from all sectors of the economy, with no single industry comprising over 10% of Peoples' total loan portfolio.
Loans secured by commercial real estate, including commercial construction loans, continued to comprise the largest portion of Peoples' loan portfolio. The following tables provide information regarding the largest concentrations of commercial construction loans and other commercial real estate loans within the loan portfolio at June 30, 2024:

Peoples' commercial lending activities continue to focus on lending opportunities within Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Maryland. For all other states, the aggregate outstanding balances of commercial loans in each state were less than 3% of total loans at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The repayment of premium finance loans is secured by the underlying insurance policy prepaid premium, and therefore, has no geographical impact from a repayment perspective. The repayment of leases is secured by the underlying equipment collateral and not real estate, which mitigates geographic risk.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The amount of the allowance for credit losses at the end of each period represents management's estimate of expected losses from existing loans based upon its quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio. While this process involves allocations being made to specific loans and pools of loans, the entire allowance is available for all losses expected within the loan portfolio.

The increase in the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2024 compared to March 31, 2024 was primarily due to an increase of reserves on individually analyzed loans and leases. The increase in the allowance balance at June 30, 2024 when compared to June 30, 2023 was driven by loan growth and a deterioration in macro-economic conditions used within the CECL model, partially offset by a release of reserves on individually analyzed loans and leases.
Additional information regarding Peoples' allowance for credit losses can be found in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Peoples' 2023 Form 10-K and "Note 4 Loans and Leases" of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

The increase for the second quarter of 2024 when compared to the linked quarter was driven by an increase in net charge-offs on leases originated by our North Star Leasing business. The increase in net charge-offs during the second quarter of 2024 versus the prior year second quarter was primarily attributable to an increase in charge-offs on (i) leases originated by our North Star Leasing business, (ii) indirect consumer loans, and (iii) commercial and industrial loans.

Compared to at March 31, 2024, Peoples' NPAs increased from 0.50% of total assets to 0.53% at June 30, 2024. Total loans 90+ days past due and accruing decreased at June 30, 2024 compared to at March 31, 2024, mostly due to decreases in nonperforming leases. Total nonaccrual loans increased at June 30, 2024 compared to at March 31, 2024, mostly due to increases in nonaccrual leases and other commercial real estate. During the second quarter of 2024, criticized loans decreased $16.6 million, while classified loans decreased $27.3 million when compared to at March 31, 2024. The decrease in the amounts of criticized loans compared to at March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by by loan upgrades and several large criticized loan pay-offs. The decrease in the amount of classified loans compared to at March 31, 2024 was primarily by loan upgrades and classified loan pay-offs. The increase in NPAs compared to at December 31, 2023, was primarily driven by increases of nonaccrual leases originated by our North Star Leasing business, commercial and industrial loans, and other commercial real estate loans. The increase in NPAs compared to at June 30, 2023, was impacted by the increase of nonaccrual leases originated by our North Star Leasing business and an increase in loans past due and accruing.

(a)The sum of amounts presented is considered total demand deposits.
At June 30, 2024, period-end total deposits decreased $28.8 million compared to at March 31, 2024, primarily driven by decreases of (i) $70.8 million in brokered CDs, (ii) $58.8 million in governmental deposits, and (iii) $24.2 million in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, partially offset by an increase of $132.5 million in retail CDs. The increase in retail CDs was due to current specials being offered, while the decrease in governmental deposit accounts was due to the seasonality of those balances, which are typically higher in the first quarter.
At June 30, 2024, period-end total deposits increased $337.9 million, or 5%, compared to at June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by increases of $862.1 million in retail CDs, $150.5 million in money market deposit accounts, and $60.7 million in governmental deposit accounts, offset by decreases of $236.1 million, $209.9 million, $147.3 million, and $142.1 million in savings accounts, non-interest bearing deposits, brokered CDs, and interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, respectively. The increase in retail CDs was driven by current promotions being offered.
As part of its funding strategy, Peoples hedges 90-day brokered CDs with interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps pay a fixed rate of interest while receiving a floating rate component of interest tied to term SOFR, which offsets the rate on the brokered CDs. As of June 30, 2024, Peoples had 9 effective interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional value of $85.0 million, which were designated as cash flow hedges of overnight brokered CDs and are expected to be extended every 90 days through the maturity dates of the interest rate swaps. Peoples continually evaluates the overall balance sheet position given the interest rate environment.

Other long-term borrowings include trust preferred securities held for investments and floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures. Total borrowed funds at June 30, 2024 decreased compared to at March 31, 2024, primarily due to lower retail repurchase agreements. Total long-term borrowings at June 30, 2024 increased when compared to at June 30, 2023 due to an increase in FHLB long term advances.
Capital/Stockholders’ Equity
At June 30, 2024, capital levels for both Peoples and Peoples Bank remained substantially higher than the minimum amounts needed to be considered "well capitalized" institutions under applicable banking regulations. These higher capital levels reflect Peoples' desire to maintain a strong capital position. In order to avoid limitations on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation, Peoples must exceed the three minimum required ratios by at least the capital conservation buffer of 2.50%, which applies to the common equity tier 1 ("CET1") ratio, the tier 1 capital ratio and the total risk-based capital ratio. At June 30, 2024, Peoples had a capital conservation buffer of 5.66%.

Peoples' risk-based capital ratios at June 30, 2024 increased when compared to March 31, 2024, due to net income during the quarter, partially offset by dividends paid. Compared to at June 30, 2023, the tier 1 risk-based capital and the total risk-based capital ratios improved due to higher net income, partially offset by the impact of the Limestone Merger and dividends paid. The common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio at June 30, 2024 also increased compared to at June 30, 2023 due to higher net income.
In addition to traditional capital measurements, management uses tangible capital measures to evaluate the adequacy of Peoples' stockholders' equity. Such ratios represent Non-US GAAP financial measures since their calculation removes the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on amounts reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management believes this information is useful to investors since it facilitates the comparison of Peoples' operating performance, financial condition and trends to peers, especially those without a similar level of intangible assets to that of Peoples. Further, intangible assets generally are difficult to convert into cash, especially during a financial crisis, and could decrease substantially in value should there be deterioration in the overall franchise value.

As a result, tangible equity represents a conservative measure of the capacity for Peoples to incur losses but remain solvent.

Tangible book value per common share at June 30, 2024 increased compared to at June 30, 2023 primarily due to net income over the last twelve months.

While Peoples is exposed to various business risks, the risks relating to interest rate sensitivity and liquidity are major risks that can materially impact future results of operations and financial condition due to their complexity and dynamic nature. The objective of Peoples' asset-liability management function is to measure and manage these risks in order to optimize net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity and safety. This objective requires Peoples to focus on interest rate risk exposure and adequate liquidity through its management of the mix of assets and liabilities, their related cash flows and the rates earned and paid on those assets and liabilities. Ultimately, the asset-liability management function is intended to guide management in the acquisition and disposition of earning assets and selection of appropriate funding sources.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk ("IRR") is one of the most significant risks arising in the normal course of business of financial services companies like Peoples. IRR is the potential for economic loss due to future interest rate changes that can impact the earnings stream, as well as market values, of financial assets and financial liabilities. Peoples' exposure to IRR is due primarily to differences in the maturity or repricing of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, other factors, such as prepayments of loans and investment securities, or early withdrawal of deposits, can affect Peoples' exposure to IRR and impact interest costs or revenue streams.
Peoples has assigned overall management of IRR to its Asset-Liability Committee (the “ALCO”), which has established an IRR management policy that sets minimum requirements and guidelines for monitoring and managing the level of IRR, including the review of assumptions used in modeling IRR.

(200) (14,963) (4.4) % (15,446) (4.7) % 23,311  1.4  % 46,537  2.8  %
(300) (16,646) (4.9) % (16,822) (5.1) % 7,287  0.4  % 47,198  2.8  %
This table uses a standard, parallel shock analysis for assessing the IRR to net interest income and the economic value of equity. A parallel shock assumes all points on the yield curve (one year, two year, three year, etc.) are directionally changed by the same degree. Management regularly assesses the impact of both increasing and decreasing interest rates. The table above shows the impact of upward and downward parallel shocks of 100, 200 and 300 basis points.
Estimated changes in net interest income and the economic value of equity are partially driven by assumptions regarding the rate at which non-maturity deposits will reprice given a move in short-term interest rates, as well as assumptions regarding prepayment speeds on mortgage-backed securities. These and other modeling assumptions are monitored closely by Peoples on an ongoing basis.
While parallel interest rate shock scenarios are useful in assessing the level of IRR inherent in the balance sheet, interest rates typically move in a nonparallel manner with differences in the timing, direction and magnitude of changes in short-term and long-term interest rates. Thus, any impact that might occur as a result of the Federal Reserve Board increasing short-term interest rates in the future could be offset by an inverse movement in long-term interest rates, and vice versa. For this reason, Peoples considers other interest rate scenarios in addition to analyzing the impact of parallel yield curve shifts. These include various flattening and steepening scenarios in which short-term and long-term interest rates move in different directions with varying magnitude. Peoples believes these scenarios to be more reflective of how interest rates change versus the severe parallel rate shocks described above. Given the shape of market yield curves at June 30, 2024, consideration of the bear steepener and bear flattener scenarios provide insights which were not captured by parallel shifts.
The bear steepener scenario highlights the risk to net interest income and economic value of equity when short-term interest rates remain constant while long-term interest rates rise. In such a scenario, Peoples' deposit and borrowing costs, which are generally correlated with short-term interest rates, remain constant, while asset yields, which are correlated with long-term interest rates, rise. At June 30, 2024, the bear steepener scenario produced an increase in net interest income of 0.8% and an increase in the economic value of equity of 5.6%.
The bear flattener scenario highlights the risk to net interest income and the economic value of equity when short-term rates rise while long-term rates remain constant. In such a scenario, Peoples' variable rate asset yields along with deposit and short-term borrowing costs, which are correlated with short-term rates, increase, while long-term asset yields and long-term borrowing costs, which are more correlated with long-term rates, remain constant. Increased deposit and funding costs would be more than offset by increased variable rate asset yields; resulting in an increased amount of net interest income and a higher net interest margin. At June 30, 2024, the bear flattener scenario produced an increase of 1.0% to net interest income and a decline in the economic value of equity of 1.8%.
Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. As of June 30, 2024, Peoples had entered into 9 interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $85.0 million. Additional information regarding Peoples’ interest rate swaps can be found in “Note 10 Derivative Financial Instruments” of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
At June 30, 2024, Peoples' Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet was positioned to benefit from rising interest rates in terms of the potential impact on net interest income. The table above illustrates this point as changes to net interest income increase in the rising interest rate scenarios.
Liquidity
In addition to IRR management, another major objective of the ALCO is to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity. In light of the bank failures in 2023, Peoples revisited the model assumptions, and determined the methods used by the ALCO to monitor and evaluate the adequacy of Peoples Bank's liquidity position remain appropriate and are largely unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' 2023 Form 10-K.

Table of Contents
At June 30, 2024, Peoples Bank had liquid assets of $408.8 million, which represented 4.0% of total assets and unfunded loan commitments. Peoples also had an additional $156.7 million of unpledged investment securities not included in the measurement of liquid assets.
Management believes the current mix of short-term liquidity sources, loan and security portfolio cash flows, and availability of other funding sources will allow Peoples to meet anticipated cash obligations, as well as special needs and off-balance sheet commitments.
Off-Balance Sheet Activities and Contractual Obligations
In the normal course of business, Peoples is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk necessary to meet the financing needs of Peoples' customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement Peoples has in these financial instruments.
Loan Commitments and Standby Letters of Credit
Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of Peoples' customers. Standby letters of credit are instruments issued by Peoples Bank guaranteeing the beneficiary payment by Peoples Bank in the event of default by Peoples Bank's customer in the performance of an obligation or service. Historically, most loan commitments and standby letters of credit expire unused. Peoples Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counter-party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Peoples Bank uses the same underwriting standards in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Peoples Bank routinely engages in activities that involve, to varying degrees, elements of risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These activities are part of Peoples Bank's normal course of business and include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments, interest rate contracts and commitments to make additional capital contributions in low-income housing tax credit investments. Traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments continue to represent the most significant off-balance sheet exposure.
The following table details the total contractual amount of loan commitments and standby letters of credit:
