Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements, which are not historical fact, involve risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in WesBanco’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. Such statements are subject to important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such statements, including, without limitation, the effects of changing regional and national economic conditions including changes in interest rates, spreads on earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and associated interest rate sensitivity; sources of liquidity available to WesBanco and its related subsidiary operations; potential future credit losses and the credit risk of commercial, real estate, and consumer loan customers and their borrowing activities; actions of the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the SEC, the Financial Institution Regulatory Authority, the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, the Securities Investors Protection Corporation, and other regulatory bodies; potential legislative and federal and state regulatory actions and reform, including, without limitation, the impact of the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act; adverse decisions of federal and state courts; fraud, scams and schemes of third parties; cyber-security breaches; competitive conditions in the financial services industry; rapidly changing technology affecting financial services; marketability of debt instruments and corresponding impact on fair value adjustments; and/or other external developments materially impacting WesBanco’s operational and financial performance. WesBanco does not assume any duty to update forward-looking statements. In addition to the results of operations presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), WesBanco's management uses, and this presentation contains or references, certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as pre-tax pre-provision income, tangible common equity/tangible assets; net income excluding after-tax restructuring and merger-related expenses; efficiency ratio; return on average assets; and return on average tangible equity. WesBanco believes these financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding our operational performance and business and performance trends which facilitate comparisons with the performance of others in the financial services industry. Although WesBanco believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors' understanding of WesBanco's business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures contained therein should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and analysis as presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as the unaudited financial statements and analyses as presented in the Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q for WesBanco and its subsidiaries, as well as other filings that the company has made with the SEC.

Slide 5

Q4 2022 Total Portfolio Loans ($MM) Loan growth continues to demonstrate the successful execution of our expansion into higher-growth markets and ability to hire top-tier commercial and mortgage loan officers across our footprint Total loan growth (excluding SBA PPP) was broad-based across our markets +11.7% year-over-year and +4.2% (or +16.8% annualized) quarter-over-quarter CRE loan payoffs moderated during Q4 2022 to ~$63 million, as compared to $173 million during Q3 2022 and a more normalized quarterly run-rate of ~$90 million ~$8 million of SBA PPP loans remaining (as of 12/31/2022) Q4 2022 included forgiveness of ~$5 million of SBA PPP loans (net of deferred fees) Note: commercial loan average payoff and new yields exclude loans funded through the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (“SBA PPP”), as established by the CARES Act


Slide 6

Q4 2022 Net Interest Margin (NIM) Q4 2022 net interest margin of 3.49% increased 16 basis points sequentially and 52 basis points year-over-year, reflecting increases in the federal fund rate during 2022 and deployment of excess cash into higher-yielding loans When excluding purchase accounting and SBA PPP loan accretion, net interest margin increased 17 basis points sequentially to 3.44% Our robust legacy deposit base provides a pricing advantage, especially when compared to major metro markets; however, we are not immune to the impact of rising interest rates on our funding sources Total deposit funding costs of 37 basis points (including non-interest bearing deposits) increased 20 and 29 basis points, sequentially and year-over-year, respectively The year-over-year total deposit beta was 8%, when compared to the 375 basis point increase in the federal fund rate through November Note: commercial loan portfolio index mix excludes SBA PPP loans


Slide 7

Q4 2022 Non-Interest Income Trust fees decreased primarily due to the decline in equity markets, more than offsetting organic growth Net securities brokerage revenue increased due to organic growth Service charges on deposits and electronic banking fees were higher due to increased general consumer spending Mortgage banking income decreased due to fewer originations, reflective of the general housing market, and holding more residential mortgages on the balance sheet Q4 2022 mortgage originations totaled $179 million, with the amount retained ~80% Other income reflects the impact of commercial loan swap fair market value adjustments of $1.5 million sequentially and $0.6 million year-over-year Note: OREO = other real estate owned


Slide 8

Q4 2022 Non-Interest Expense Salaries and wages increased due to higher salary expense related to merit increases and higher staffing levels (primarily commercial and residential lenders) Employee benefits decreased year-over-year due to a higher health insurance liability recorded in the prior year period, as well as a decrease in this quarter’s pension expense Marketing expense primarily reflects the timing of marketing campaigns throughout the year Increases in other operating expenses primarily reflects the impact of inflation across many miscellaneous line items, as well as higher travel and entertainment expense associated with demonstrated organic growth

Slide 10

The increase in the allowance was primarily driven by the increase from prepayment assumptions, loan growth, and the macroeconomic forecasts utilized more than offsetting improvements in the pandemic-related qualitative adjustments Allowance coverage ratio of 1.10% Excludes fair market value adjustments on previously acquired loans representing 0.17% of total portfolio loans Q4 2022 Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) Note: ACL at 12/31/2022 excludes off-balance sheet credit exposures of $8.4 million ($000s)
