Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties to which our business and future financial performance are subject is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 7, 2025 and other documents we file with the SEC from time to time.

3 2024 Review and Highlights ▪ While economic conditions and interest rates created a challenging operating environment, our strong execution resulted in the achievement of key objectives ➢ Increasing our liquidity by reducing our loan-to-deposit ratio ➢ Expanding our net interest margin ➢ Improving our asset quality by reducing our level of non-performing loans ➢ Maintaining relatively stable expense levels while continuing to invest in talent and technology that will contribute to our long-term profitable growth ▪ Due to our financial performance and prudent balance sheet management, we increased our tangible book value per share(1) by 3.7% in 2024 and increased all of our capital ratios from the end of the prior year ▪ Due to the addition of banking talent and changes made throughout the organization, we had a strong year of business development ➢ Deposit gathering efforts resulted in many new deposit accounts opened in 2024 ➢ A strong year of loan production while maintaining our disciplined pricing and underwriting criteria, with most of the loan production coming from clients that also bring deposits to the bank ➢ Strong growth in our AUM in our wealth management business ▪ Strong balance sheet and increasing presence in attractive markets positions us well to continue growing our franchise and creating shareholder value (1) See Non-GAAP reconciliation

4 Strong Franchise Fundamentals ▪ Well diversified client base with no significant industry or asset class concentrations in deposit base or loan portfolio ▪ Loyal clients who value the level of service and expertise we provide that results in a sticky deposit base ▪ Well diversified business model with strong sources of non-interest income ▪ Conservatively underwritten, well diversified loan portfolio with minimal exposure to office CRE loans and multifamily loans ▪ Strength of client base and conservative underwriting standards requiring multiple sources of repayment has resulted in exceptionally low credit losses throughout First Western’s history ➢ NPAs declining as the sale of OREO properties is resulting in proceeds that cover outstanding balances and resulting in minimal loss

6 Consistent Value Creation TBV/Share(1) Up ~166% Since December 2017 Consistent increases in tangible book value per share driven by: • Organic growth that has increased operating leverage • Accretive acquisitions that have been well priced and smoothly integrated to realize all projected cost savings • Conservative underwriting criteria that has resulted in extremely low level of losses in the portfolio throughout the history of the company • Prudent asset/liability management including not investing excess liquidity accumulated during the pandemic in low-yielding bonds (1) See Non-GAAP reconciliation.

Creating Additional Shareholder Value 12

13 2025 Outlook and Priorities • First Western's markets continue to perform well and the strength of our balance sheet and franchise provides opportunities to capitalize on market disruption and challenges being faced by competing banks to add new clients and banking talent • Addition of banking talent over past several quarters should lead to higher level of loan growth in 2025 while still maintaining disciplined underwriting and pricing criteria • Deposit gathering will remain a top priority throughout the organization • Expected drivers of improved financial performance in 2025 ◦ Increased loan growth ◦ Continued expansion in net interest margin ◦ Redeployment of cash generated from sale of OREO properties into interest-earning assets ◦ More robust business development activities in Wealth Management business ◦ More operating leverage resulting from disciplined expense control • Addition of MLOs will positively impact mortgage banking fees if environment is favorable for loan demand in 2025 • Positive trends in key areas expected to continue, which should result in steady improvement in financial performance and further value being created for shareholders

14 Drivers of Long-Term Improved Financial Performance Efficiency Ratio Asset Quality ROA and ROE ▪ Net interest margin expanding due to increase in average yield on loans and improving deposit mix ▪ Disciplined balance sheet management and effective business development efforts expected to result in growth in high quality loans, lower cost of deposits, and fee income ▪ Increased operating leverage through disciplined expense management ▪ Realization of more operational efficiencies through streamlining of back-office support and process improvements throughout the organization ▪ Organization shifting more towards revenue producers without adding to headcount ▪ Investments in technology resulting in improved efficiencies, enhanced client service, and additional revenue generation opportunities ▪ Continued resolution of non-performing loans with minimal loss content ▪ Disciplined underwriting criteria continues to result in strong overall asset quality with low level of losses

15 Long-Term Goals to Drive Shareholder Value Since our pre-2018 IPO status as of year end 2017, we have tripled total loans and total deposits, more than doubled TBV per share, had substantial increases in annual revenue, and demonstrated significant operating leverage. Looking forward we can drive shareholder value by: ▪ Continuing to execute well, creating more operating leverage to drive high performing ROAA and ROAE results ▪ Emphasizing our differentiation in marketplace ▪ Growing through $5 billion in total assets, $25 billion TIM assets through both organic growth and acquisitions, ideally: ▪ ~50 offices – infill and adjacent ▪ Maturing at $8 million in revenue per office through growing 20% ▪ 75% contribution margin per office at maturity, then growing ▪ Building footprint, scale and operating leverage with M&A ▪ Disciplined approach to be significantly earnings accretive with minimal TBV dilution ▪ Enhancing wealth management platform ▪ Upgrade omnichannel client experience ▪ Create new digital distribution channel Our mission is to be the BPBFWWMC – Best Private Bank for the Western Wealth Management Client We believe First Western can be a unique, niche focused regional powerhouse with high fee income and consistent strong earnings from our scalable wealth management platform
