7 Meridian Corporation 4QTR 2020 Highlights Net income was $9.0 million for the quarter, or $1.48 per diluted share, driven by continued strong loan and deposit growth, and robust refinance activity in the mortgage segment. For the year, Meridian generated revenues of $149.6 million and net income of $26.4 million. This resulted in an ROE of 21% and EPS of $4.27. Loan growth for the quarter equaled 3% (ex PPP and residential held-for-sale), and totaled 13% year over year. Growth was centered in C&I, including the new leasing division and SBA, and CRE. Non-interest income increased $885 thousand, or 3.1%, over 3Q - driven by continued strong mortgage banking revenue, wealth management advisory fees and SBA income. Mortgage banking net revenue increased $9.3 million for the year, or 42.4%, due to higher levels of originations and refinancings stemming from the historically low rate environment throughout much of 2020, aided by the expansion of our mortgage division into Maryland. Provision for loan losses for the quarter was $1.2 million. ALLL to total loans, excluding loans at fair value and PPP loans, was 1.65% at December 31, 2020. Total assets decreased $38.5 million, or 2.2%, quarter over quarter to $1.7 billion due mainly to the payoff of $64.5 million in PPP loans. Total loans overall were $1.5 billion at December 31, 2020. The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per common share, payable February 22, 2021, to shareholders of record as of February 11, 2021.

27 Meridian Corporation Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Tangible common equity to tangible assets Management uses the measure tangible common equity to tangible assets to assess our capital strength. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful to investors because, by removing the impact of our preferred stock, goodwill and other intangible assets, it allows investors to more easily assess our capital adequacy. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered a substitute for any regulatory capital ratios and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
