Item 2.02 - Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On January 27, 2025, Park National Corporation (“Park”) issued a news release (the “Financial Results News Release”) announcing financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 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), gains (losses) 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 December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 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.

(e) The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") of Park met on January 23, 2025 to determine the 2025 base salaries (the “2025 Base Salaries”) for Park’s executive officers, the discretionary annual incentive compensation award for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Incentive Compensation") earned by each of Park’s executive officers and the equity-based award granted to each of Park's executive officers.
The 2025 Base Salaries are effective as of March 1, 2025 and the 2024 Incentive Compensation is expected to be paid in March 2025.
The following table shows the 2025 Base Salaries and the 2024 Incentive Compensation award for each of Park's executive officers:

Name 2025 Base Salaries 2024 Incentive Compensation
David L. Trautman $775,000 $725,000
Matthew R. Miller $575,000 $443,000
Brady T. Burt $425,000 $322,000

Park National Corporation 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan for Employees - Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Awards

On January 23, 2025, the Compensation Committee determined the dollar value of equity-based awards (the “2025 PBRSU Awards”) of performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”) to be granted to each of Messrs. Trautman, Miller and Burt based on Park's closing share price on January 30, 2025, which 2025 PBRSU Awards are subject to the terms and conditions of Park’s 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan for Employees (the “2017 Employees LTIP”) and the award agreements evidencing the 2025 PBRSU Awards.

The following table shows the minimum/target dollar value of PBRSUs which may be earned (the “Target Award”) and the maximum dollar value of PBRSUs which may be earned (the “Maximum Award”) in respect of the 2025 PBRSU Award to be granted to each of Messrs.
4



Trautman, Miller and Burt. The actual number of PBRSUs awarded will be based on the dollar value approved and Park's closing share price on January 30, 2025.

Name and Position Target Award Maximum Award
David L. Trautman
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of each Park and PNB
$675,000 $1,012,500
Matthew R. Miller
President of each Park and PNB
$450,000 $675,000
Brady T. Burt
Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of Park; Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of PNB
$250,000 $375,000

The number of PBRSUs earned and settled or, in the alternative, forfeited will be based upon Park’s performance, measured by Park’s cumulative return on average assets (“Cumulative ROA”) for the three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2025 and ending December 31, 2027 (the “Performance Period”), relative to the Cumulative ROA results for the Performance Period for the Industry Index of financial services holding companies (excluding corporations classified for federal income tax purposes as "S" corporations) in the United States with total consolidated assets of $5 billion to $15 billion (the "$5B to $15B Industry Index"). However, no PBRSUs will be earned by Messrs. Trautman, Miller and Burt if Park’s consolidated net income for each fiscal year during the Performance Period has not equaled or exceeded an amount equal to 110% of all cash dividends declared and paid by Park during such fiscal year.

Park’s performance at the 50th percentile and the 80th percentile of the performance of the $5B to $15B Industry Index will result in Messrs. Trautman, Miller and Burt earning PBRSUs representing the Target Award and the Maximum Award, respectively (interpolated on a straight line basis for performance at percentiles between these specified percentiles), covered by their respective grants.

Any PBRSUs earned based on Park’s performance relative to the performance of the $5B to $15B Industry Index will also be subject to a service-based vesting requirement. One-half of the PBRSUs earned in respect of the Performance Period will vest and be settled in Park common shares (on a one-for-one basis) on the date the Compensation Committee determines and certifies the number of PBRSUs earned in respect of the Performance Period (the “Certification Date”) if the executive officer earning such PBRSUs is still employed by Park or one of Park's subsidiaries on the Certification Date. On the first anniversary of the Certification Date, the other half of the PBRSUs earned in respect of the Performance Period will vest and be settled in Park common shares (on a one-for-one basis) if the executive officer earning such PBRSUs is still employed by Park or one of Park's subsidiaries on the first anniversary of the Certification Date. Subject to the terms of the award agreement evidencing each 2025 PBRSU Award, none of the Park common shares received by each of Messrs. Trautman, Miller and Burt upon settlement of earned and vested PBRSUs may be sold, transferred, assigned or otherwise similarly disposed of by him for a period of five years after the date of settlement.

Each award agreement evidencing a 2025 PBRSU Award also addresses the effect of termination of employment of the executive officer to whom the 2025 PBRSU Award is granted, the effect of a defined “Change in Control” for purposes of the 2017 Employees LTIP and events the occurrence of which will result in the forfeiture of the PBRSUs and any common shares delivered pursuant to the award agreement.

The following discussion provides additional information regarding Park.

Park National Corporation (Park)

The following table reflects the net income for each quarter of 2024, and for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
(In thousands) Q4 2024 Q3 2024 Q2 2024 Q1 2024 2024 2023 2022
Net interest income $ 103,445  $ 101,114  $ 97,837  $ 95,623  $ 398,019  $ 373,113  $ 347,059

Net interest income of $398.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 represented a $24.9 million, or 6.7%, increase compared to $373.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase was a result of a $51.3 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $26.4 million increase in interest expense.

6



The $51.3 million increase in interest income was due to a $67.8 million increase in interest income on loans, partially offset by a $16.5 million decrease in investment income. The $67.8 million increase in interest income on loans was primarily the result of a $404.9 million (or 5.61%) increase in average loans, from $7.22 billion for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 to $7.63 billion for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, as well as an increase in the yield on loans, which increased 59 basis points to 6.14% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to 5.55% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The $16.5 million decrease in investment income was primarily the result of a $490.8 million (or 25.18%) decrease in average investments, including money market investments, from $1.95 billion for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 to $1.46 billion for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in average investments was partially offset by an increase in the yield on investments, including money market investments, which increased 6 basis points to 3.90% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to 3.84% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.

The $26.4 million increase in interest expense was due to a $27.9 million increase in interest expense on deposits, as well as a $1.5 million increase in interest expense on borrowings. The increase in interest expense on deposits was the result of a $150.2 million (or 2.71%) increase in average on-balance sheet interest bearing deposits from $5.55 billion for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, to $5.70 billion for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, as well as an increase in the cost of deposits of 45 basis points, from 1.52% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 to 1.97% for the twelve months ended December 31, 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 $14.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 represented an increase of $11.6 million, compared to $2.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 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 table below reflects Park's total other income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Other income of $122.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 represented an increase of $30.0 million, or 32.3%, compared to $92.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The $7.0 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 $1.4 million increase in other service income was mainly due to an increase in mortgage related other service income. The $649,000 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 $2.4 million increase in bank owned life insurance income was primarily related to an increase in death benefits received during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The change in pension settlement gain was due to a $6.1 million pension settlement gain, which was related to a combination of lump sum payouts as well as the purchase of a nonparticipating annuity contract which will provide ongoing benefits to vested and retired participants. The change in loss on sale of debt securities, net was due to net losses on the sale of debt securities of $526,000 recorded during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 compared to net losses on sale of debt securities of $7.9 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023.
7



The $2.1 million increase in the gain on equity securities, net, was due to a $2.4 million increase in the gain on equity securities carried at fair value, and a $97,000 increase in the gain on equity securities carried at net asset value. The $1.7 million increase in other components of net periodic benefit income was largely due to an increase in the expected return on plan assets. The increase in miscellaneous income was largely due to an increase in net gain on sale of assets.

Total other expense of $321.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 represented an increase of $12.1 million compared to $309.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in salaries expense was primarily related to increases in base salary expense, incentive compensation expense and additional incentive compensation expense, that included a $1.7 million expense for a special incentive payment, partially offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense. The decrease in employee benefit expense was primarily due to a decrease in group insurance expense, partially offset by an increase in retirement expense. The decrease in furniture and equipment expense was primarily due to decreases in depreciation expense and maintenance and repairs expense. The increase in data processing fees was mainly related to an increase in software related expenses, partially offset by a decrease in ATM and debit card processing expense. The increase in professional fees and services expense was primarily due to increases in consulting expenses, credit services expense, IntraFi deposit fee expense and temporary wage expense, partially offset by decreases in legal expenses and other fees expense. The increase in marketing expense was primarily due to increases in advertising expense. The decrease in insurance expense was primarily due to decreases in FDIC insurance expense. The increase in foundation contributions was the result of a $2.0 million contribution made during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, compared to a $1.0 million contribution made during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in miscellaneous expense is primarily due to an increase in expense for the allowance for unfunded credit losses and other non-loan related losses.

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 deposit growth on its balance sheet, Park utilizes 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 table below breaks out the change in deposit balances, by deposit type, for Park.

Credit Metrics and Provision for Credit Losses

Park reported a provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $14.5 million, compared to $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Net charge-offs were $10.3 million, or 0.14%, of total average loans, for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $4.9 million, or 0.07%, of total average loans, for the year ended December 31, 2023. Included in net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $4.2 million in charge-offs related to two relationships that previously carried a specific reserve.

The table below provides additional information related to Park's allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

General reserve as a % of collectively evaluated loans 1.12  % 1.06  %

The total allowance for credit losses of $88.0 million at December 31, 2024 represented a $4.2 million, or 5.0%, increase compared to $83.7 million at December 31, 2023. The increase was due to a $7.9 million increase in general reserves partially offset by a $3.7 million decrease in specific reserves. The $7.9 million increase in general reserves included a $757,000 additional reserve related to Hurricane Helene which impacted borrowers in Park's Carolina region. This reserve considers the overall population of loans to borrowers in this area. Management will continue to evaluate potential losses as a result of Hurricane Helene as additional information becomes available.

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 December 31, 2024, Park had $247.2 million of loans which were fully or partially secured by non-owner-occupied office space, $244.0 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.
