+10.1% year-over-year and +3.2% (or +12.9% annualized) quarter-over-quarter Loan growth continues to demonstrate the strength of our markets and lending teams Loan production offices are contributing meaningfully to both commercial loan growth and loan pipeline, which was approximately $950 million, as of 6/30/2024 C&I loans increased 13.0% year-over-year and 18.4% quarter-over-quarter annualized, reflecting strategic loan production office and lender hiring initiatives CRE loan payoffs totaled approximately $32 million during the second quarter ($95 million year-to-date), as compared to an anticipated annual level in the $500 million range within a more normal operating environment C&I line utilization, for the second quarter, increased 370 basis points year-over-year to ~36%, as compared to a mid-40% range prior to the pandemic Total loans up $1.1 billion YoY and $0.4 billion QoQ Q2 2024 Total Portfolio Loans

NIM continues to reflect the higher rate environment and deposit remix Q2 2024 net interest margin of 2.95% reflects higher funding costs from the remix of non-interest bearing deposits into higher tier money market and certificate of deposit accounts, offset by loan growth and the benefit of rising interest rates on earning assets As anticipated, NIM increased 3 basis points quarter-over-quarter as higher loan yields outpaced higher funding costs Loan yields increased 14 basis points quarter-over-quarter and 54 basis points year-over-year, as rates on new commercial loans continue to average 8% Deposit funding costs, including non-interest bearing deposits, were 195 basis points, increasing 14 basis points sequentially and 92 basis points year-over-year, reflecting a continuation of the decline in the rate of increase as the pace of remix continues to soften Q2 2024 Net Interest Margin (NIM)


Slide 9

Non-interest income decreased 1.5% year-over-year primarily due to lower net swap fee and valuation income, as well as higher net gains on other real estate owned and other assets in the prior year period Gross swap fees were $1.8 million, compared to $2.4 million in the prior year Fair market valuation adjustment of zero, as compared to $0.2 million last year The year-over-year increase in service charges on deposits reflects fee income from new products and services and increased general consumer spending Mortgage banking income increased year-over-year due to an improvement in the net gain on sale margin for residential mortgages sold in the secondary market Wealth management and new product/service fees driving growth Note: OREO = other real estate owned Q2 2024 Non-Interest Income


Slide 10

Committed to discretionary expense management Q2 2024 Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense increased year-over-year due to increases in equipment and software expenses and other operating expenses Equipment and software expense increased due to he impact of the prior year ATM upgrades, which were phased in throughout the prior year Other operating expenses increased primarily due to higher costs and fees in support of loan growth and higher other miscellaneous expenses Salaries and wages decreased year-over-year due to lower staffing levels associated with efficiency improvements in the mortgage and branch staffing models, partially offset by normal compensation merit adjustments Employee benefits decreased due to lower health insurance costs driven by lower staffing levels
