▪ Balance Sheet – Expect stable loans – Focused on improving funding mix; expect normal seasonal funding patterns ▪ Net Interest Income – Expect near term NIM pressure largely from CD repricing; loan repricing is a potential offset – $1.5 billion of retail CDs to mature in 2024 at a weighted average rate of 4.14% – Scheduled $744 million of loans to reprice in 2024 at 174 bps higher – Expect NIM expansion (longer term), after a lag, assuming no Fed rate increases ▪ Noninterest Income – Approximately $46.6MM of back-to-back swaps in the loan pipeline; banking services fee income to benefit in the quarter these loans close – Other fee income expected to normalize from 4Q23 levels ▪ Noninterest Expense – 2024 Core noninterest expense expected to rise low to mid single digits from the 2023 base of $151.4 million – 1Q24 Core noninterest expense to include seasonal expenses that less than half of the $4.1 million reported in 1Q23 ▪ Effective Tax Rate – Expecting mid 20s% for 2024 21 Outlook

Reconciliation of GAAP Earnings and Core Earnings 29 Non-cash Fair Value Adjustments to GAAP Earnings The variance in GAAP and core earnings is partly driven by the impact of non-cash net gains and losses from fair value adjustments. These fair value adjustments relate primarily to borrowings carried at fair value under the fair value option. Core Net Income, Core Diluted EPS, Core ROAE, Core ROAA, Pre-provision, Pre-tax Net Revenue, Core Net Interest Income FTE, Core Net Interest Margin FTE, Core Interest Income and Yield on Total Loans, Core Noninterest Income, Core Noninterest Expense and Tangible Book Value per common share are each non-GAAP measures used in this presentation. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures appears below in tabular form. The Company believes that these measures are useful for both investors and management to understand the effects of certain interest and noninterest items and provide an alternative view of the Company's performance over time and in comparison, to the Company's competitors. These measures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income. The Company believes that tangible book value per common share is useful for both investors and management as this measure is commonly used by financial institutions, regulators and investors to measure the capital adequacy of financial institutions. The Company believes this measure facilitates comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time and in comparison, to its competitors. This measure should not be viewed as a substitute for total shareholders' equity. These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
