Item 2.02 - Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On July 22, 2024, Park National Corporation (“Park”) issued a news release (the “Financial Results News Release”) announcing financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. A copy of the Financial Results News Release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K as well as the Financial Results News Release contain non-U.S. GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or "U.S. GAAP") financial measures where management believes them to be helpful in understanding Park’s results of operations or financial position. Where non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as well as the reconciliation from the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, can be found in the Financial Results News Release.

Items Impacting Comparability of Period Results
From time to time, revenue, expenses and/or taxes are impacted by items judged by management of Park to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their impact is believed by management of Park at that time to be infrequent or short-term in nature. Most often, these items impacting comparability of period results are due to merger and acquisition activities and revenue and expenses related to former Vision Bank loan relationships. In other cases, they may result from management's decisions associated with significant corporate actions outside of the ordinary course of business.

Even though certain revenue and expense items are naturally subject to more volatility than others due to changes in market and economic environment conditions, as a general rule, volatility alone does not result in the inclusion of an item as one impacting comparability of period results. For example, changes in the provision for credit losses (aside from those related to former Vision Bank loan relationships), (losses) gains on equity securities, net, and asset valuation adjustments, reflect ordinary banking activities and are, therefore, typically excluded from consideration as items impacting comparability of period results.

Management believes the disclosure of items impacting comparability of period results provides a better understanding of Park's performance and trends and allows management to ascertain which of such items, if any, to include or exclude from an analysis of Park's performance; i.e., within the context of determining how that performance differed from expectations, as well as how, if at all, to adjust estimates of future performance taking such items into account.

Items impacting comparability of the results of particular periods are not intended to be a complete list of items that may materially impact current or future period performance.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures
Park's management uses certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures to evaluate Park's performance. Specifically, management reviews the return on average tangible equity, the return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, tangible book value per common share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income.

Management has included in the Financial Results News Release information relating to the annualized return on average tangible equity, the annualized return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, tangible book value per common share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income for the three months ended and at June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2023 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023. For the purpose of calculating the annualized return on average tangible equity, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, net income for each period is divided by average tangible equity during the period. Average tangible equity equals average shareholders' equity during the applicable period less average goodwill and other intangible assets during the applicable period. For the purpose of calculating the annualized return on average tangible assets, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, net income for each period is divided by average tangible assets during the period. Average tangible assets equals average assets during the applicable period less average goodwill and other intangible assets during the applicable period. For the purpose of calculating the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, tangible equity is divided by tangible assets. Tangible equity equals total shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, in each case at period end. Tangible assets equal total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets, in each case at period end. For the purpose of calculating tangible book value per common share, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, tangible equity is divided by the number of common shares outstanding, in each case at period end. For the purpose of calculating pre-tax, pre-provision net income, a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, income taxes and the provision for credit losses are added back to net income, in each case during the applicable period.

2



Management believes that the disclosure of the annualized return on average tangible equity, the annualized return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, tangible book value per common share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income presents additional information to the reader of the consolidated financial statements, which, when read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, assists in analyzing Park's operating performance, ensures comparability of operating performance from period to period, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of Park's peer financial holding companies and bank holding companies, while eliminating certain non-operational effects of acquisitions. In the Financial Results News Release, Park has provided a reconciliation of average tangible equity from average shareholders' equity, average tangible assets from average assets, tangible equity from total shareholders' equity, tangible assets from total assets, and pre-tax, pre-provision net income from net income solely for the purpose of complying with SEC Regulation G and not as an indication that the annualized return on average tangible equity, the annualized return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, tangible book value per common share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income are substitutes for the annualized return on average equity, the annualized return on average assets, the total shareholders' equity to total assets ratio, book value per common share and net income, respectively, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

FTE (fully taxable equivalent) Financial Measures
Interest income, yields, and ratios on a FTE basis are considered non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Management believes net interest income on a FTE basis provides an insightful picture of the interest margin for comparison purposes. The FTE basis also allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The FTE basis assumes a corporate federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent. In the Financial Results News Release, Park has provided a reconciliation of FTE interest income solely for the purpose of complying with SEC Regulation G and not as an indication that FTE interest income, yields and ratios are substitutes for interest income, yields and ratios, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Item 7.01 - Regulation FD Disclosure

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $39.4 million represented a $7.8 million, or 24.6%, increase compared to $31.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Pre-tax, pre-provision net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $51.4 million represented a $10.7 million, or 26.4%, increase compared to $40.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $74.6 million represented a $9.3 million, or 14.2%, increase compared to $65.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Pre-tax, pre-provision net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 of $96.0 million represented a $15.2 million, or 18.9%, increase compared to $80.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Net income for each of the three months ended June 30, 2024, March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023 and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, included several items of income and expense that impacted comparability of period results. These items are detailed in the "Financial Reconciliations" section within the Financial Results News Release.

The following discussion provides additional information regarding Park.

Park National Corporation (Park)

The following table reflects the net income for the first and second quarters of 2024, for the first half of 2024 and 2023 (the six months ended June 30) and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

(In thousands) Q2 2024 Q1 2024 Six months YTD 2024 Six months YTD 2023 2023
Net interest income $ 97,837  $ 95,623  $ 193,460  $ 183,770  $ 373,113

    Income tax expense 8,960  7,211  16,171  12,792  26,870 
Net income $ 39,369  $ 35,204  $ 74,573  $ 65,317  $ 126,734 

Net interest income of $193.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 represented a $9.7 million, or 5.3%, increase compared to $183.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was a result of a $30.0 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $20.3 million increase in interest expense.

The $30.0 million increase in interest income was due to a $38.5 million increase in interest income on loans, partially offset by a $8.5 million decrease in investment income. The $38.5 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily the result of a $419.2 million (or 5.89%) increase in average loans, from $7.12 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $7.53 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as well as an increase in the yield on loans, which increased 72 basis points to 6.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 5.34% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $8.5 million decrease in investment income was primarily the result of a $581.1 million (or 28.0%) decrease in average investments, including money market investments, from $2.08 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to $1.50 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in average investments was partially offset by an increase in the yield on investments, including money market investments, which increased 21 basis points to 4.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 3.79% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The $20.3 million increase in interest expense was due to a $19.5 million increase in interest expense on deposits, as well as a $0.8 million increase in interest expense on borrowings. The increase in interest expense on deposits was the result of a $142.4 million (or 2.59%) increase in average on-balance sheet interest bearing deposits from $5.49 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $5.64 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as well as an increase in the cost of deposits of 66 basis points, from 1.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 1.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in on-balance sheet interest bearing deposits was due to an increase in brokered deposits, bid CD deposits and time deposits, which was partially offset by decreases in savings accounts and transaction accounts.

The provision for credit losses of $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 represented an increase of $2.6 million, compared to $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Refer to the “Credit Metrics and Provision for Credit Losses” section for additional details regarding the level of the provision for credit losses recognized in each period presented.

The $3.3 million increase in income from fiduciary activities was largely due to an increase in the market value of assets under management as well as updates to the fee structure. The $464,000 decrease in debit card fee income was partially due to a decrease in the average blended interchange rate per transaction, which is influenced by various factors, including the average spend per transaction. The $1.7 million increase in bank owned life insurance income was primarily related to an increase in death benefits received during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The change in loss on sale of debt securities, net was due to net losses on the sale of debt securities of $398,000 recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2024. No loss on sale of debt securities, net was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The $622,000 increase in other components of net periodic benefit income was largely due to an increase in the expected return on plan assets, and was partially offset by an increase in interest cost. The increase in miscellaneous income was largely due to an increase in net gain on sale of assets.

The decrease in furniture and equipment expense was primarily due to decreases in depreciation expense and maintenance and repairs expense. The decrease in professional fees and services expense was primarily due to decreases in legal expenses, consulting expenses and other fees expense, partially offset by increases in credit services expense and IntraFi deposit fee expense.

Park's deposits grew during the COVID pandemic and declined toward pre-pandemic levels throughout 2022 and 2023. In order to manage the impact of this growth on its balance sheet, Park utilized a program where certain deposit balances are transferred off balance sheet while maintaining the customer relationship. Park is able to increase or decrease the amount of deposit balances transferred off balance sheet based on its balance sheet management strategies and liquidity needs. The balance of deposits transferred off balance sheet has declined as deposit balances declined toward pre-pandemic levels.

General reserve as a % of collectively evaluated loans 1.07  % 1.06  % 1.16  %

The total allowance for credit losses of $86.6 million at June 30, 2024 represented a $2.8 million, or 3.4%, increase compared to $83.7 million at December 31, 2023. The increase was due to a $2.5 million increase in general reserves and a $328,000 increase in specific reserves.

As part of its quarterly allowance process, Park evaluates certain industries which are more likely to be under economic stress in the current environment. The office sector continues to face challenges as it adjusts to the new normal of work from home brought on by the pandemic. Nationally, office properties in downtown and urban business districts are seeing the most stress. As of June 30, 2024, Park had $226.4 million of loans which were fully or partially secured by non-owner-occupied office space, $224.9 million of which were accruing. This portfolio is not currently exhibiting signs of stress, but Park continues to monitor this portfolio, and others, for signs of deterioration.

Park National Corporation reports financial results
for second quarter and first half of 2024

NEWARK, Ohio ‒ Park National Corporation (Park) (NYSE American: PRK) today reported financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2024. Park's board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.06 per common share, payable on September 10, 2024, to common shareholders of record as of August 16, 2024.

“Our performance stems from our commitment to provide consistent financial support, to remain resilient in uncertain times, and to never stop searching for new ways to serve customers,” said Park Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David Trautman. “We’re eager to introduce new tools that will make our banking services more accessible than ever and allow more people to experience a wonderful blend of digital elegance and human empathy in banking with Park.”

Park’s net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $39.4 million, a 24.6 percent increase from $31.6 million for the second quarter of 2023. Second quarter 2024 net income per diluted common share was $2.42, compared to $1.94 for the second quarter of 2023. Park's net income for the first half of 2024 was $74.6 million, a 14.2 percent increase from $65.3 million for the first half of 2023. Net income per diluted common share for the first half of 2024 was $4.60 compared to $4.01 for the first half of 2023.

Park’s total loans increased 2.5 percent (5.1 percent annualized) during the first half of 2024 and increased 6.3% for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024. Park's total loans increased 1.9 percent (7.4 percent annualized) during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Park's total deposits increased 3.4 percent (6.7 percent annualized) during the first half of 2024 and decreased 0.6 percent for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2024. The combination of strong loan growth and steady deposits resulted in a net interest margin of 4.39 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 4.28 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 4.07 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the first half of 2024 the net interest margin was 4.33 percent compared to 4.07 percent for the first half of 2023.

“We continue to experience growth in net interest income, supported by year-to-date annualized commercial loan growth of 6.4 percent that reflects our consistent approach to lending regardless of economic fluctuations and the interest rate environment,” said Park President Matthew Miller. “We’re also pleased to report growth in net income and earnings per share, demonstrating our bankers’ commitment to controlling expenses and leveraging technology as we prepare to cross $10 billion in assets.”

Headquartered in Newark, Ohio, Park National Corporation has $9.9 billion in total assets (as of June 30, 2024). Park's banking operations are conducted through its subsidiary The Park National Bank.
