The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those described in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K, as updated by the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023 (this "Form 10-Q"). Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after June 30, 2023 for potential recognition or disclosure in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.  In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly such information for the periods and at the dates indicated.  Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022, contained herein, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K. 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, due in part to seasonal variations and unusual or infrequently occurring items.

New Accounting Pronouncements: From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by Peoples as of the required effective dates. The following paragraphs related to new pronouncements should be read in conjunction with "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes the impact of any recently issued standards, including those issued but not yet effective, will not have a material impact on Peoples' financial statements taken as a whole.

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. This guidance was further updated by ASU 2021-01. This update was effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The FASB further updated the guidance with ASU 2022-06, which deferred the sunset date of ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. ASU 2020-04 was early adopted by Peoples as of September 30, 2021, and did not have a significant impact on Peoples' Consolidated Financial Statements, but is expected to reduce the accounting burden of assessing contracts impacted by reference rate reform. Peoples established a working group, consisting of key stakeholders from throughout the company, to monitor developments relating to London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") changes and to guide the transition. This team has worked to successfully ensure that technology systems are prepared for the transition, loan documents that reference LIBOR-based rates have been appropriately amended to reference other methods of interest rate determinations and internal and external stakeholders have been apprised of the transition. Peoples ceased originating LIBOR-based products after December 31, 2021 and began originating SOFR-indexed products. Any LIBOR-based products originated prior to December 31, 2021, but maturing after June 30, 2023, are based on SOFR-indexed products as of July 1, 2023. The transition did not have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2022-02 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs") and Vintage Disclosures. This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance on TDRs for creditors and amends the guidance on disclosures to include current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination. This ASU also updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 326 and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. For entities that have already adopted ASU 2016-13, as Peoples has, the amendments in ASU 2022-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

Effective January 1, 2023, Peoples adopted the amendments within ASU 2022-02, using the prospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to the guidance in ASU 2022-02, when a loan is restructured, Peoples continues to measure the allowance for credit losses on the loan using a discounted cash flow approach that utilizes a prepayment-adjusted discount rate based on the loan’s restructured terms. Under the TDR accounting model, Peoples modeled a 12-month extension of the contractual terms for TDRs that were to mature within the next 12 months. As Peoples has elected a prospective transition, the extension on a loan that was previously restructured and accounted for as a TDR will continue to be measured as it had been historically in Peoples' allowance for credit losses until the loan is paid off, sold, liquidated or subsequently restructured. Refer to "Note 4 Loans and Leases" for additional information.

Note 2 Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value represents the amount expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in its principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, Peoples measures, records and reports various types of assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or a non-recurring basis in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Those assets and liabilities are presented below in the sections entitled “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis” and “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis.”

Depending on the nature of the asset or the liability, Peoples uses various valuation methodologies and assumptions to estimate fair value. The measurement of fair value under US GAAP uses a hierarchy, which is described in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K.

Assets and liabilities are assigned to a level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant input used to measure fair value. Assets and liabilities may change levels within the fair value hierarchy due to market conditions or other circumstances. Those transfers are recognized on the date of the event that prompted the transfer. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.

Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table provides the fair value for assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets by level in the fair value hierarchy.

Available-for-Sale Investment Securities: The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent either quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1) or fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, LIBOR (or other relevant) yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2). As of June 30, 2023, Peoples had one available-for-sale investment security for which quoted market prices or observable market data was unavailable. Therefore, a broker estimated market value based on the price an interested buyer would be willing to pay (Level 3). Management reviews the valuation methodology and quality controls utilized by the pricing services or broker in management's overall assessment of the

reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when management believes a material discrepancy in pricing exists.

Equity Investment Securities: The fair values of Peoples' equity investment securities are obtained from quoted prices in active exchange markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) or quoted prices in less active markets (Level 2).

Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities: Derivative assets and derivative liabilities are recognized on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value within "Other assets" and "Accrued expenses and other liabilities", respectively. The fair value for derivative financial instruments is determined based on market prices, broker-dealer quotations on similar products, or other related input parameters (Level 2).

Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The following table provides the fair value for each class of assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets by level in the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

	Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date

(Dollars in thousands)	Level 2		Level 3		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Collateral dependent loans	$	—	$	6,561	$	—	$	10,354
Loans held for sale (a)	$	1,587	$	—	$	1,254	$	—
Other real estate owned	$	—	$	7,118	$	—	$	55

(a) Loans held for sale are presented gross of a valuation allowance of $138 and $105 at June 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022, respectively.

Collateral Dependent Loans: Loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, are considered collateral dependent. Peoples utilizes outside third-party appraisal services to value the underlying collateral, which Peoples then uses to report the loans at their fair value (Level 3).

Loans Held for Sale: Loans originated and intended to be sold in the secondary market, generally one-to-four family residential loans, are carried, in aggregate, at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Peoples uses a valuation model using quoted market prices of similar instruments in arriving at the fair value (Level 2).

Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO"): OREO, included in "Other assets" on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, is comprised primarily of commercial and residential real estate properties acquired by Peoples in satisfaction of a loan. OREO obtained in satisfaction of a loan is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell the property. The carrying value of OREO is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is based on recent real estate appraisals and is updated at least annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available (Level 3).

Servicing Rights: Servicing rights are included in "Other intangible assets" on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of servicing rights is determined by using a discounted cash flow model, which estimates the present value of the future net cash flows of the servicing portfolio based on various factors, such as servicing costs, expected prepayment speeds and discount rates (Level 3). The carrying value of servicing rights is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis. Peoples assesses the carrying value of servicing rights quarterly for impairment.

(a) Held-to-maturity investment securities are presented gross of an allowance for credit losses of $241 at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

(b) Nonqualified deferred compensation includes mutual funds as part of the investment.

(c)     "Other investment securities", as reported on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, also included equity investment securities at June 30, 2023

and at December 31, 2022, which are reported in the Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

table above and not included in this table.

(d) Loans and leases, net of deferred fees and costs, are presented gross of an allowance for credit losses of $61.2 million and $53.2 million at June 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022, respectively.

For certain financial assets and liabilities, carrying value approximates fair value due to the nature of the financial instrument. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, and overnight borrowings. Peoples used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances due from other banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold and other short-term investments with original maturities of ninety days or less. The carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents balances are a reasonable estimate of fair value (Level 1).

Held-to-Maturity Investment Securities: The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, relevant yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2). When observable market data is absent, the independent pricing service estimates prices based on underlying cash flow characteristics and discount rates and compares them to similar securities (Level 3). Management reviews the valuation

methodology and quality controls utilized by the pricing services in management's overall assessment of the reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when management believes a material discrepancy in pricing exists.

Other Investment Securities: Other investment securities at cost are not recorded at fair value as they are not marketable securities. Other investment securities at fair value are valued using quoted prices in an active market (Level 1) or quoted prices in less active markets (Level 2).

Loans and Leases, Net of Deferred Fees and Costs: The fair value of portfolio loans and leases assumes sale of the underlying notes to a third-party financial investor. Accordingly, this value is not necessarily the value to Peoples if the notes were held to maturity. Peoples considers interest rate, credit and market factors in estimating the fair value of loans and leases (Level 3). Fair values for loans and leases are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discount rates take into account interest rates currently being offered to customers for loans and leases with similar terms, the credit risk associated with the loans and leases and other market factors, including liquidity.

Bank Owned Life Insurance: Peoples' bank owned life insurance policies are recorded at their cash surrender value (Level 2). Peoples recognizes tax-exempt income from the periodic increases in the cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.

Deposits: The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit ("CDs") is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Demand and other non-fixed-maturity deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on maturity, attrition and re-pricing assumptions (Level 2).

Short-term Borrowings: The fair value of short-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2). 

Long-term Borrowings: The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2). 

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured or reported at fair value can be subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). These financial assets and financial liabilities include the following: customer relationships, the deposit base, and other information required to compute Peoples’ aggregate fair value, which are not included in the above information. Accordingly, the fair values described above are not intended to represent the aggregate fair value of Peoples.

Management evaluates available-for-sale investment securities for an allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. At June 30, 2023, management concluded that no individual securities at an unrealized loss position required an allowance for credit losses. At June 30, 2023, Peoples did not have the intent to sell, nor was it more likely than not that Peoples would be required to sell, any of the securities with an unrealized loss prior to recovery. Further, the unrealized losses at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were largely attributable to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased, and were not credit-related losses. Accrued interest receivable is not included in investment securities balances, and is presented in the “Other assets” line of the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, with no recorded allowance for credit losses. Interest receivable on investment securities was $9.8 million at June 30, 2023 and $7.8 million at December 31, 2022.

At June 30, 2023, approximately 99% of the mortgage-backed securities with a market value that had been at an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more were issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies. The remaining 1%, or five positions, consisted of privately issued mortgage-backed securities with all of the underlying mortgages originated prior to 2004. Of the five positions, three positions had a fair value of less than 90% of their book values. Management analyzed the underlying credit quality of these mortgage-backed securities and concluded the unrealized losses were primarily attributable to the floating rate nature of these investments and the low remaining number of loans underlying these securities. Obligations of the U.S. treasury and government agencies, obligations of U.S. government sponsored agencies, and obligations of states and political subdivisions were issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, Federal, state or local government-sponsored entities. The decline in fair values was attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. Therefore, management does not consider these to be impaired securities.

The unrealized loss with respect to the three bank-issued trust preferred securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more at June 30, 2023 was attributable to the subordinated nature of the trust preferred securities.

There were no sales of held-to-maturity securities during either of the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

Management evaluates held-to-maturity investment securities for an allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. Peoples has determined that the loss given default for U.S. government sponsored agencies investment securities is zero, due to the fact that it is unlikely the ultimate guarantor (the U.S. government) would not perform on its implicit guarantee in the event of default. The remaining securities are included in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity investment securities. Peoples reported $0.2 million of allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity securities at both June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

The following table presents a summary of held-to-maturity investment securities that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for the periods identified:

Peoples purchased $7.6 million of additional FHLB stock during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of the FHLB's capital requirements on FHLB advances during the first six months.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Peoples recorded the change in the fair value of equity investment securities held during the period, in "Other non-interest income", resulting in an unrealized loss of $138,000 and an unrealized loss of $11,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Peoples recognized a unrealized loss of $117,000 and an unrealized loss of $18,000, respectively, for the change in fair value of equity investment securities in "Other non-interest income".

At June 30, 2023, Peoples' investment in equity investment securities was comprised largely of common stocks issued by various unrelated bank holding companies. There were no equity investment securities of a single issuer that exceeded 10% of Peoples' stockholders' equity.

Pledged Securities

Peoples has pledged available-for-sale investment securities and held-to-maturity investment securities to secure public and trust department deposits, and repurchase agreements in accordance with federal and state requirements. Peoples has also pledged available-for-sale investment securities to secure additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB and the FRB.

Accrued interest receivable is not included within the loan balances, but is presented in the “Other assets” line of the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, with no recorded allowance for credit losses. Total interest receivable on loans was $20.0 million at June 30, 2023 and $15.4 million at December 31, 2022.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

A loan is considered past due if any required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the loan agreement. A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loan is considered past due.

The amortized cost of loans on nonaccrual status and of loans delinquent for 90 days or more and accruing was as follows:

	June 30, 2023				December 31, 2022

Total loans, at amortized cost	$	28,796	$	5,924	$	31,473	$	4,842

(a) There were $1.3 million of nonaccrual loans for which there was no allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2023 and $1.4 million of nonaccrual loans for which there was no allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2022.

During the first six months of 2023, nonaccrual loans declined compared to at December 31, 2022, which was primarily due to $3.1 million of commercial real estate loans being on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2022 that were accruing as of March 31, 2023. The increase in accruing loans 90+ days past due at June 30, 2023 when compared to at December 31, 2022, was primarily due to increases of $0.5 million and $0.8 million in premium finance loans and leases, respectively.

The amount of interest income recognized on loans past due 90 days or more and accruing during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.9 million.

The following table presents the aging of the amortized cost of past due loans:

Delinquency trends remained stable, as 99.0% of Peoples' loan portfolio was considered “current” at June 30, 2023, compared to 98.6% at December 31, 2022.

Pledged Loans

Peoples has pledged certain loans secured by one-to-four family and multifamily residential mortgages, home equity lines of credit and commercial real estate loans under a blanket collateral agreement to secure borrowings from the FHLB. Peoples also has pledged eligible commercial and industrial loans to secure borrowings with the FRB. Loans pledged are summarized as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Loans pledged to FHLB	$	1,268,215	$	783,843

Credit Quality Indicators

As discussed in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K, Peoples categorizes the majority of its loans into risk categories based upon an established risk grading matrix using a scale of 1 to 8. Loan grades are assigned at the time a new loan or lending commitment is extended by Peoples and may be changed at any time when circumstances warrant. Commercial loans to borrowers with an aggregate unpaid principal balance in excess of $1.0 million are reviewed at least on an annual basis for possible credit deterioration. Commercial leases, as well as loan relationships whose aggregate credit exposure to Peoples is equal to or less than $1.0 million, are reviewed at least on an event driven basis. Triggers for review include knowledge of adverse events affecting the borrower's business, receipt of financial statements indicating deteriorating credit quality or other similar events. Adversely classified loans are reviewed on a quarterly basis. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades used by Peoples, follows:

“Pass” (grades 1 through 4): Loans in this risk category involve borrowers of acceptable-to-strong credit quality and risk who have the apparent ability to satisfy their loan obligations. Loans in this risk grade would possess sufficient mitigating factors, such as adequate collateral or strong guarantors possessing the capacity to repay the loan if required, for any weakness that may exist.

20

Table of Contents

“Special Mention” (grade 5): Loans in this risk grade are the equivalent of the regulatory definition of “Other Assets Especially Mentioned.” Loans in this risk category possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which requires a high level of management attention. Potential weaknesses include declining trends in operating earnings and cash flows and/or reliance on a secondary source of repayment. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in noticeable deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in Peoples' credit position.

“Substandard” (grade 6): Loans in this risk grade are inadequately protected by the borrower's current financial condition and payment capability or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of the loans. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Peoples will sustain some loss if the weaknesses are not corrected.

“Doubtful” (grade 7): Loans in this risk grade have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, classification of each of these loans as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

“Loss” (grade 8): Loans in this risk grade are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean a loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Charge-offs against the allowance for credit losses are taken during the period in which the loan becomes uncollectible. Consequently, Peoples typically does not maintain a recorded investment in loans within this category.

Consumer loans and other smaller-balance loans are evaluated and categorized as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss" based upon the regulatory definition of these classes and consistent with regulatory requirements. Leases are categorized as "special mention", "substandard", or "loss" based upon delinquency status and the prospect of collecting the remaining net investment balance owed under the lease. All other loans not evaluated individually, nor meeting the regulatory conditions to be categorized as described above, would be considered as being "not rated."

The following table summarizes the risk category of loans within Peoples' loan portfolio, including acquired loans, based upon the most recent analysis performed at June 30, 2023:

Collateral Dependent Loans

Peoples has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The underlying collateral can vary based upon the type of loan. The following provides more detail about the types of collateral that secure collateral dependent loans:

•Construction loans are typically secured by owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment real estate. Typically, owner occupied construction loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and other commercial and industrial properties that are in process of construction. Non-owner occupied commercial construction loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, multi-family complexes, land under development, and other commercial and industrial real estate in process of construction.

•Commercial real estate loans can be secured by either owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment commercial real estate. Typically, owner occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development, industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate.

•Commercial and industrial loans are generally secured by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, and other commercial property.

•Residential real estate loans are typically secured by first mortgages, and in some cases could be secured by a second mortgage, on residential real property.

•Home equity lines of credit are generally secured by second mortgages on residential real estate property.

•Consumer loans are generally secured by automobiles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Some consumer loans are unsecured and have no underlying collateral.

•Leases are secured by commercial equipment and other essential business assets.

•Premium finance loans are secured by the unearned portion of the insurance premium being financed.

The following table details Peoples' amortized cost of collateral dependent loans:

(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Commercial real estate, other	5,581		8,362
Commercial and industrial	460		1,456
Residential real estate	520		536
Total collateral dependent loans	$	6,561	$	10,354

The decrease in collateral dependent loans at June 30, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022, was primarily due to three large relationships that were paid in full during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Modifications for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty Subsequent to the Adoption of ASU 2022-02

As part of Peoples' loss mitigation activities, Peoples may agree to modify the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. The most common modifications to the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty include an extension of the maturity date, a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the loan, a temporary period of interest-only payments, and a reduction in the contractual payment amount for either a short period or the remaining term of the loan.

In addition to loan modifications, Peoples also provides other loss mitigation options, such as forbearance and repayment plans, to assist borrowers who experience financial difficulties. In assessing whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, Peoples considers information currently available regarding the financial condition of the borrower. This information includes, but is not limited to, whether (1) the borrower is currently in payment default on any of the borrower's debt; (2) a payment default is probable in the foreseeable future without the modification; (3) the borrower has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy; and (4) the borrower's projected cash flow is insufficient to satisfy contractual payments due under the original terms of the loan without a modification.

The following table displays the amortized cost of loans that were restructured during the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2023, presented by loan classification.

Troubled Debt Restructurings Disclosures Prior to the Adoption of ASU 2022-02

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, Peoples accounted for a modification to the contractual terms of a loan that resulted in granting a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties as a TDR. See “Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting

Allowance for Credit Losses

As discussed in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K, Peoples estimates the allowance for credit losses using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In management's estimation of expected credit losses, Peoples uses a one-year reasonable and supportable period across all segments. Following the reasonable and supportable period, Peoples reverts the macroeconomic variables to their long run average over a four-quarter reversion period.

(a)Amount does not include the provision for the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments

During the second quarter of 2023, Peoples recorded a total provision for credit losses for loans of $8.0 million, largely attributable to a provision of $9.4 million for the non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, partially offset by the release of reserves of $1.7 million on individually analyzed loans and a recovery of $1.0 million due to improvements in macro-economic conditions. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2023 were $1.2 million, primarily due to net charge-offs of indirect consumer loans of $0.8 million.

During the second quarter of 2022, Peoples recorded a recovery of credit losses of $0.7 million driven by a reduction in allowance for individually analyzed loans, as well as changes in loss drivers used in the CECL model. Leases designated as purchased-credit

deteriorated ("PCD") acquired from Vantage increased the allowance for credit losses by $292,000. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2022 were $1.5 million, and included charge-offs of three leases aggregating $0.5 million.

Peoples had recorded an allowance for unfunded commitments of $2.0 million as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The allowance for unfunded commitments (also referred to as "unfunded commitment liability") is presented in the “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” line of the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in the allowance for unfunded commitments is also reflected in the "Provision for (recovery of) credit losses" line of the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of the close of business on April 30, 2023, Peoples completed its merger with Limestone Bancorp, Inc. ("Limestone") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 24, 2022, at which point Limestone merged with and into Peoples (the "Limestone Merger"), and Limestone Bank, Inc., the subsidiary bank of Limestone, merged immediately thereafter with and into Peoples' wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples Bank. Peoples preliminarily recorded goodwill from the Limestone Merger as of June 30, 2023 totaling $63.4 million.

On January 3, 2023, Peoples acquired a trust and investment business, for which Peoples initially recognized $200,000 in goodwill. A further adjustment of $381,000 was recognized on May 31, 2023. The goodwill recorded from this acquisition totaled $581,000 as of June 30, 2023.

On March 7, 2022, Peoples Bank purchased 100% of the equity of Vantage pursuant to an Equity Purchase Agreement, dated February 16, 2022, at which point Vantage became a legal subsidiary of Peoples Bank. During 2022, Peoples recorded $27.2 million of goodwill related to this acquisition, which was offset partially by an adjustment of $1.3 million to the goodwill balance related to the merger (the "Premier Merger") of Peoples with Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. (“Premier”) on September 17, 2021.

Note 8 Employee Benefit Plans

Peoples sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all employees hired before January 1, 2010. The plan provides retirement benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation. For employees hired before January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on the employee’s average monthly compensation over the highest five consecutive years out of the employee’s last ten years with Peoples while an eligible employee. For employees hired on or after January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on 2% of the employee’s annual compensation during the years 2003 through 2009, plus accrued interest. Effective January 1, 2010, the pension plan was closed to new entrants. Effective March 1, 2011, the accrual of pension plan benefits for all participants was frozen. Peoples recognized this freeze as a curtailment as of December 31, 2010 and March 1, 2011, under the terms of the pension plan. Effective July 1, 2013, a participant in the pension plan who is employed by Peoples may elect to receive or to commence receiving such person's retirement benefits as of the later of such person's normal retirement date or the first day of the month first following the date such person makes an election to receive his or her retirement benefits.

Peoples also provides post-retirement health and life insurance benefits to certain former employees and directors. Only those individuals who retired before January 27, 2012 were eligible for life insurance benefits. As of January 1, 2011, all retirees who desire to participate in the Peoples Bank medical plan do so by electing COBRA, which provides up to 18 months of coverage; retirees over the age of 65 also have the option to pay to participate in a group Medicare supplemental plan. Peoples only pays 100% of the cost of health benefits for those individuals who retired before January 1, 1993. For all others, the retiree is responsible for most, if not all, of the cost of the health benefits. Peoples’ policy is to fund the cost of the benefits as they arise.

Table of Contents

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, which was determined as of January 1, 2023, is 7.0%. The following table details the components of the net periodic cost for the noncontributory defined benefit pension plan described above, which is included in salaries and employee benefit costs on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations:

	Pension Benefits
	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2023		2022		2023		2022

Amortization of net loss	8		20		10		40
Net periodic loss	$	(62)	$	(82)	$	(138)	$	(164)

Under US GAAP, Peoples is required to recognize a settlement gain or loss when the aggregate amount of lump-sum distributions to participants equals or exceeds the sum of the service and interest cost components of the net periodic pension cost. The amount of settlement gain or loss recognized is the pro rata amount of the unrealized gain or loss existing immediately prior to the settlement. In general, both the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets are required to be remeasured in order to determine the settlement gain or loss.

Peoples did not record a settlement gain or loss during the six months ended June 30, 2023 or the six months ended June 30, 2022 under the noncontributory defined benefit pension plan.

Note 10 Derivative Financial Instruments

Peoples utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset/liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is included in the "Other assets" and the "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" lines in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, while cash activity related to these derivative financial instruments is included in the activity in "Net cash provided by operating activities" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Table of Contents

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities - Risk Management Objective of Using Derivative Financial Instruments

Peoples is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Peoples principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. Peoples manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its assets and liabilities. Peoples also manages interest rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, Peoples enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known or expected cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. Peoples’ derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of Peoples' known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain variable rate borrowings. Peoples also has interest rate derivative financial instruments that result from a service provided to certain qualifying customers and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in Peoples' assets or liabilities. Peoples manages a matched book with respect to customer-related derivative financial instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Peoples' objectives in using interest rate derivative financial instruments are to add stability to interest income and expense, and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. At June 30, 2023, Peoples had entered into twelve interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $115.0 million. Peoples will pay a fixed rate of interest for up to ten years while receiving a floating rate component of interest equal to the three-month LIBOR rate through June 30, 2023, after which point three-month LIBOR shall cease publication, and Peoples will pay a fixed rate equal to term SOFR. The interest received on the floating rate component is intended to offset the interest paid on rolling three-month brokered CDs, which will continue to be rolled through the life of the interest rate swaps. At June 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022, the interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of $115.0 million and $125.0 million, respectively, in brokered CDs, which are expected to be extended every 90 days through the maturity dates of the interest rate swaps.

For derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the effective and ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of each derivative financial instrument is reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income ("AOCI") (outside of earnings), net of tax, and are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made or received on Peoples' variable-rate liabilities. Peoples assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the hedging derivative financial instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transaction. The reset dates and the payment dates on the brokered CDs are matched to the reset dates and payment dates on the receipt of the three-month LIBOR floating portion (or the SOFR term rate beyond June 30, 2023) of the swaps to ensure effectiveness of the cash flow hedge. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, Peoples recorded reclassifications of gains to earnings of $0.1 million and reclassifications of losses to earnings of $0.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Peoples recorded reclassifications of losses to earnings of 130,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. During the next twelve months, Peoples estimates that $1.3 million of AOCI will be reclassified as a reduction to interest expense.

The following table summarizes information about the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges:

Non-Designated Hedges

Peoples maintains an interest rate protection program for commercial loan customers, which was established in 2010. Under this program, Peoples originates variable rate loans with interest rate swaps, where the customer enters into an interest rate swap with Peoples on terms that match the terms of the loan. By entering into the interest rate swap with the customer, Peoples Bank effectively provides the customer with a fixed rate loan while creating a variable rate asset for Peoples Bank. Peoples Bank offsets its exposure in the interest rate swap by entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with an unaffiliated institution. These interest rate swaps do not qualify as designated hedges; therefore, each interest rate swap is accounted for as a standalone derivative financial instrument. These interest rate swaps did not have a material impact on Peoples' results of operations or financial condition at or for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2023 and as of or for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The following table reflects the non-designated hedges, which are included in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value:

Pledged Collateral

Peoples pledges or receives collateral for all interest rate swaps. When the fair value of Peoples' interest rate swaps is in a net liability position, Peoples must pledge collateral, and, when the fair value of Peoples' interest rate swaps is in a net asset position, the respective counterparties must pledge collateral. At June 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022, Peoples had no cash pledged, while counterparties had $19.4 million of cash pledged at June 30, 2023 and $20.9 million of cash pledged at December 31, 2022. Peoples had no pledged investment securities at June 30, 2023 or at December 31, 2022, while the counterparties had pledged investment securities in the amounts of $2.3 million at June 30, 2023 and $2.5 million at December 31, 2022.

Fourth Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Plan (the "2006 Equity Plan"), Peoples may grant, among other awards, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted common share awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units and unrestricted common share awards to employees and non-employee directors. The total number of common shares available under the 2006 Equity Plan is 1,493,297. The maximum number of common shares that can be issued for incentive stock options is 750,000 common shares. Since February 2009, Peoples has granted restricted common shares to employees, and periodically to non-employee directors, subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by the 2006 Equity Plan. In general, common shares issued in connection with stock-based awards are issued from treasury shares to the extent available. If no treasury shares are available, common shares are issued from authorized but unissued common shares.

Restricted Common Shares

 Under the 2006 Equity Plan, Peoples may award restricted common shares to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. In general, the restrictions on the restricted common shares awarded to employees expire after periods ranging from one to five years. Since 2018, common shares awarded to non-employee directors have vested immediately upon grant with no restrictions. In the first six months of 2023, Peoples granted an aggregate of 188,372 restricted common shares subject to performance-based vesting to officers and key employees with restrictions that will lapse three years after the grant date; provided that in order for the restricted common shares to vest in full, Peoples must have reported positive net income and maintained a well-capitalized status by regulatory standards for each of the three fiscal years preceding the vesting date.

The following table summarizes the changes to Peoples’ restricted common shares for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

	Time-Based Vesting			Performance-Based Vesting
	Number of Common Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Common Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Oustanding at January 1, 2023	138,522	$	27.25	295,875	$	32.20
Awarded	47,725	26.49		188,372	30.30

Outstanding at June 30, 2023	167,827	$	26.62	407,328	$	31.21

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, intrinsic value for restricted common shares released was $2.5 million compared to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Stock-Based Compensation

Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation, which is included as a component of Peoples’ salaries and employee benefit costs, for restricted and unrestricted common shares, as well as purchases made by participants in the employee stock purchase plan. For restricted common shares, Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation based on the estimated fair value of the awards expected to vest on the grant date. The estimated fair value is then expensed over the vesting period, which is normally three years. Peoples also has an employee stock purchase plan whereby employees can purchase Peoples' common shares at a discount of 15%. The following table summarizes the amount of stock-based compensation expense and related tax benefit recognized for each period:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Employee stock-based compensation expense:

Employee stock purchase plan expense	34		24		73		52
Total employee stock-based compensation expense	1,043		600		$	3,232	$	2,205
Non-employee director stock-based compensation expense	135		127		$	271	$	251
Total stock-based compensation expense	1,178		727		$	3,503	$	2,456
Recognized tax benefit	(278)		(166)		(825)		(560)
Net stock-based compensation expense	$	900	$	561	$	2,678	$	1,896

The fair value of restricted common share awards on the grant date is the market price of Peoples' common shares on that date. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted common share awards was $6.8 million at June 30, 2023, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.

Peoples records contract assets for income that has been recognized over a period of time for fulfillment of performance obligations, but has not yet been received related to electronic banking income and certain insurance income. This income typically relates to bonuses for which Peoples is eligible, but will not receive until a certain time in the future. Peoples records contract liabilities for payments received for commission income related to the sale of insurance policies, for which the performance obligations have not yet been fulfilled. The contract liabilities are recognized as income over time, during the period in which the performance obligations are fulfilled, which is over the insurance policy period. Peoples also records contract liabilities for bonuses received related to electronic banking income, for which the performance obligations have not yet been fulfilled. The contract liabilities are recognized as income over time, during the period in which the performance obligations are fulfilled related to electronic banking income.

Note 13 Acquisitions

Limestone Bancorp, Inc.

As of the close of business on April 30, 2023, Peoples completed the Limestone Merger and immediately after the Limestone Merger, Limestone Bank, Inc., which operated 20 branches in Kentucky, merged into Peoples Bank. As consideration, Limestone shareholders were paid 0.90 common shares of Peoples for each full share of Limestone that was owned at the merger date, resulting in the issuance of 6,827,668 common shares by Peoples, or aggregate consideration of $177.9 million. Peoples accounted for this transaction as a business combination under the acquisition method.

Table of Contents

Peoples recorded acquisition-related expenses related to the Limestone Merger, which included $10.8 million and $11.2 million in non-interest expense for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. For the second quarter of 2023, the $10.8 million of non-interest expense consisted of $5.2 million in salaries and employee benefit costs, $4.8 million in professional fees, $0.5 million in insurance expense, and $0.3 million in various other non-interest expense line items. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the $11.2 million of non-interest expense consisted of $5.2 million in salaries and employee benefit costs, $5.1 million in professional fees, $0.5 million in insurance expense, $0.4 million in various other non-interest expense line items.

Peoples recorded the fair value based on initial valuations available at the close of business on April 30, 2023. Due to the timing of the transaction closing date and this Form 10-Q, these estimated fair values were considered preliminary as of June 30, 2023, and are subject to adjustment for up to one year after April 30, 2023. Valuations subject to change include, but are not limited to, loans, bank premises, core deposit intangibles (included in other intangible assets), certain deposits, other long-term borrowings, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and certain other assets and other liabilities.

The following table provides the preliminary purchase price calculation as of the date of the Limestone Merger, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values.

Accrued expenses and other liabilities	12,967
Total liabilities	1,340,895
Net assets	114,512
Goodwill	$	63,419

The goodwill recorded in connection with the Limestone Merger is related to expected synergies to be gained from the combination of Limestone with Peoples' operations. The employees retained from the Limestone Merger and the geographic locations of Limestone should allow Peoples to continue to grow the loan and deposit portfolios while also increasing Peoples' ability to penetrate the new markets, which should benefit Peoples in future periods. During Peoples' evaluation of intangible assets, it was determined that an assembled workforce intangible asset was not separately recognizable and was included in goodwill. Peoples recorded a core deposit asset in other intangible assets related to the Limestone Merger.

Loans acquired by Peoples in a business combination that have evidence of more than insignificant credit deterioration, which includes loans as to which Peoples believes it is probable that Peoples will be unable to collect all contractually required payments, are considered "purchased credit deteriorated" loans. Acquired purchased credit deteriorated loans are reported net of the unamortized fair value adjustment. These loans are recorded at the purchase price, and an allowance for credit losses is determined based upon discrete credit marks, along with discounted cash flow models based upon similar pools of loans, using a similar methodology as for other loans. The following table details the fair value adjustment for acquired purchased credit deteriorated loans as of the acquisition date:

(Dollars in thousands)	Par Value		Allowance for Credit Losses		Non-Credit (Discount) Premium		Fair Value

Peoples' operating results for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2023 include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Limestone subsequent to the Limestone Merger. Due to the timing of the acquisition close and the conversion of Limestone systems, as well as other streamlining and integration of the operating activities into those of Peoples, historical reporting for the former Limestone operations is impracticable and the disclosures of revenue from the assets acquired and income before income taxes is impracticable for the period subsequent to the acquisition. The following table presents unaudited pro forma information as if the Limestone Merger had occurred on January 1, 2022. The pro forma adjustments include any changes in interest income due to the accretion of discounts, or amortization of premiums, associated with the fair value adjustments to acquired loans, interest-bearing deposits, long-term borrowings and customer deposit intangibles that would have resulted had the assets and liabilities been acquired as of January 1, 2022. The pro forma information excludes Peoples' acquisition-related expenses as described above as well as a provision of credit losses of $9.4 million recorded to establish an allowance for credit losses for non-purchased credit deteriorated loans relating to the acquired loans. The pro forma reflects the adoption of CECL by Limestone as of January 1, 2023. The pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have occurred had Peoples acquired Limestone on January 1, 2022. Additionally, cost savings and other business synergies related to the acquisition are not reflected in the pro forma amounts.

Vantage Financial, LLC

On March 7, 2022, Peoples Bank purchased 100% of the equity of Vantage, a nationwide provider of equipment financing headquartered in Excelsior, Minnesota. Peoples Bank acquired assets comprising Vantage's lease business, including $154.9 million in leases and certain third-party debt in the amount of $106.9 million. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Peoples Bank paid cash consideration of $54.0 million, and also repaid $28.9 million in recourse debt on behalf of Vantage, for total consideration of $82.9 million. Vantage offers mid-ticket equipment leases, primarily for business essential information technology equipment across a wide-array of industries.

Peoples recorded acquisition-related expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $46,000 in professional fees related to the Vantage acquisition. Peoples recorded acquisition-related expenses during the first six months of 2022 of $1.5 million related to the Vantage acquisition, which included $1.1 million in professional fees.

The following table provides the final purchase price calculation as of the date of the acquisition of Vantage, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values.

The goodwill recorded in connection with the Vantage acquisition is related to expected synergies to be gained from the combination of Vantage with Peoples' operations. The employees retained from the Vantage acquisition should allow Peoples to continue to grow the lease portfolio, along with Peoples' resources, and should benefit Peoples in future periods. During Peoples' evaluation of intangible assets, it was determined that an assembled workforce intangible asset was not separately recognizable and was included in goodwill. Peoples recorded other intangible assets, which included a customer relationship intangible, a trade-name intangible and non-compete agreements related to this transaction.

The following table details the fair value adjustment for acquired PCD leases as of the acquisition date:

(Dollars in thousands)	Par Value		Allowance for Credit Losses		Non-Credit Premium		Fair Value

Fair value	$	3,412	$	(801)	$	1,120	$	3,731

Note 14 Leases

Peoples has elected certain practical expedients, in accordance with ASC 842 - Leases ("ASC 842"). As a lessor, Peoples has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the consideration in the contract, and from variable payments not included in the consideration in the contract, all sales and other similar taxes assessed. Peoples has also made an accounting policy election to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases subject to ASC 842.

Lessor Arrangements

Leases originated by Peoples, that Peoples has the positive intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or to maturity or payoff, are reported at the net investment in the lease, net of initial direct costs, charge-offs and an allowance for credit losses. Peoples considers leases past due if any required principal or interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the lease agreement. Upon detection of the reduced ability of a lessee to meet cash flow obligations, a lease is typically charged down to the net realizable value, with the residual balance placed on nonaccrual status. Leases deemed to be uncollectable are charged against the allowance for credit losses, while recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for credit losses.

Peoples began originating leases with the acquisition of leases from NSL in the second quarter of 2021, and expanded its lease portfolio with the acquisition of Vantage in the first quarter of 2022. The leases acquired from NSL were determined to be sales-type

40

Table of Contents

leases, as the premise for these leases is dollar buy-out, whereby the lessee pays one dollar at maturity of the lease to purchase the equipment. Originated leases continue to be classified as sales-type leases. These leases do not typically contain residual value guarantees; however, if a lease contains a residual value guarantee, Peoples reduces its residual asset risk by obtaining a security deposit from the lessee. The leases acquired through Vantage were determined to be either sales-type or direct financing leases based primarily on whether they included a dollar buy-out or a fair market value buy-out, respectively. As a lessor, Peoples originates commercial equipment leases either directly to the customer or indirectly through vendor programs. Equipment leases relate to automotive, construction, health care, manufacturing, office, restaurant, information technology and other equipment. These leases include an estimated residual value, which is assessed for impairment as part of the allowance for credit losses. Lease income noted in the table below includes gain on the early termination of leases, syndicated leases, and other fees. Additional information regarding Peoples' leases can be found in "Note 4 Loans and Leases."

The table below details Peoples' lease income:

Lessee Arrangements

Peoples leases certain banking facilities and equipment under various agreements with original terms providing for fixed monthly payments over periods generally ranging from two to thirty years. Certain leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Only those renewal and termination options which Peoples is reasonably certain of exercising are included in the calculation of the lease liability. Certain leases contain rent escalation clauses calling for rent increases over the term of the lease, which are included in the calculation of the lease liability. At June 30, 2023, Peoples did not have any leases that met the criteria for finance leases. Right of Use ("ROU") assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement or remeasurement date of a lease based on the present value of lease payments over the remaining lease term. Operating lease ROU assets include lease payments made at or before the commencement date and initial indirect costs. Operating lease ROU assets exclude lease incentives. Short-term leases of certain facilities and equipment, with lease terms of 12 months or less, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not have an ROU asset or lease liability.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) represents an overview of the results of operations and financial condition of Peoples for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto.

Certain statements in this Form 10-Q, which are not historical fact, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are identified by the fact they are not historical facts and include words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "may," "feel," "expect," "believe," "plan," "will," "will likely," "would," "should," "could," "project," "goal," "target," "potential," "seek," "intend," "continue," "remain," and similar expressions.

These forward-looking statements reflect management's current expectations based on all information available to management and its knowledge of Peoples' business and operations. Additionally, Peoples' financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

(1)ongoing increasing interest rate policies, changes in the interest rate environment due to economic conditions and/or the fiscal and monetary policy measures undertaken by the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve Board, including changes in the Federal Funds Target Rate, in response to such economic conditions, which may adversely impact interest rates, the interest rate yield curve, interest margins, loan demand and interest rate sensitivity;

(2)the effects of inflationary pressures and the impact of rising interest rates on borrowers’ liquidity and ability to repay;

(3)the success, impact, and timing of the implementation of Peoples' business strategies and Peoples' ability to manage strategic initiatives, including the ongoing increasing interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board, the completion and successful integration of planned acquisitions, including the recently-completed acquisition of Vantage and the Limestone Merger, and the expansion of commercial and consumer lending activities;

(4)competitive pressures among financial institutions, or from non-financial institutions, which may increase significantly, including product and pricing pressures, which can in turn impact Peoples' credit spreads, changes to third-party relationships and revenues, changes in the manner of providing services, customer acquisition and retention pressures, and Peoples' ability to attract, develop and retain qualified professionals;

(5)uncertainty regarding the nature, timing, cost, and effect of legislative or regulatory changes or actions, or deposit insurance premium levels, promulgated and to be promulgated by governmental and regulatory agencies in the State of Ohio, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which may subject Peoples, its subsidiaries, or one or more acquired companies to a variety of new and more stringent legal and regulatory requirements which adversely affect their respective businesses;

(6)potential adverse impacts as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which may negatively impact Peoples' operations and financial results;

Summary of Recent Transactions and Events

The following is a summary of recent transactions and events that have impacted or are expected to impact Peoples’ results of operations or financial condition:

◦On October 25, 2022, Peoples announced the Limestone Merger, a transaction valued at $177.9 million. The Limestone Merger closed as of the close of business on April 30, 2023. Peoples acquired Limestone's loan portfolio totaling $1.1 billion, $1.2 billion of deposits, $172.7 million of total investment securities, an aggregate of $93.7 million of short-term and long term borrowings, and $92.4 million of total cash and cash equivalents. Peoples also recorded goodwill in the amount of $63.4 million and other intangible assets of $27.7 million, which consisted of core deposit intangibles.

◦On April 1, 2022, Peoples Insurance acquired substantially all of the assets and rights of Elite, an insurance agency with five locations in eastern Kentucky and certain rights to related customer accounts, which were previously developed and maintained by Elite, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement between Peoples Insurance and Elite. Total consideration for this transaction was $4.4 million. Peoples recognized intangible assets of $2.1 million, primarily comprised of a customer relationship intangible.

◦During the second quarter of 2023, Peoples recorded a provision for credit losses of $8.0 million, compared to a provision for credit losses of $1.9 million in the linked quarter and a recovery of credit losses of $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2022. The provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2023 was due to a provision of $9.4 million for the non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, partially offset by the release of reserves of $1.7 million on individually analyzed loans and a recovery of $1.0 million due to improvements in macro-economic conditions. The provision for credit losses in the linked quarter was largely attributable to a deterioration of macro-economic conditions and charge-offs, partially offset by a reduction in reserves for individually analyzed loans. The recovery of credit losses in the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to an improvement in economic factors and loss drivers within the CECL model. For the first half of 2023, Peoples recorded a provision for credit losses of $9.8 million, compared to a recovery of credit losses of $7.6 million for 2022. The provision for credit losses during the first six months of 2023 was driven by (i) the addition of the provision for the non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, (ii) loan growth and (iii) economic forecast deterioration, partially offset by a reduction in the reserves for individually analyzed loans and the use of updated loss drivers. The recovery of credit losses during the first six months of 2022 was driven by improvements in economic forecasts, coupled with loan payoffs and sales during certain periods. For more information, please refer to the section titled "RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses" found later in this discussion.

◦During the second quarter of 2023, Peoples incurred $10.7 million of acquisition-related expenses, compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2023 and $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2022. For the first six months of 2023, Peoples incurred $11.3 million of acquisition-related expenses compared to $2.0 million for 2022.The acquisition-related expenses in 2023 were primarily related to the Limestone Merger, while the acquisition-related expenses in 2022 were primarily related to the Vantage acquisition.

◦To combat the effects of ongoing inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve Board increased the Federal Funds Target Rate range to 0.25% to 0.50% on March 16, 2022, to 0.75% to 1.00% on May 4, 2022, to 1.50% to 1.75% on June 15, 2022, to 2.25% to 2.50% on July 27, 2022, to 3.00% to 3.25% on September 21, 2022, to 3.75% to 4.00% on November 2, 2022, to 4.25% to 4.50% on December 14, 2022, to 4.50% to 4.75% on February 1, 2023, to 4.75% to 5.00% on March 22, 2023, 5.00% to 5.25% on May 3, 2023 and has stated it may continue to raise rates throughout 2023.

The impact of these transactions and events, where material, is discussed in the applicable sections of this MD&A.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Peoples reported net income of $21.1 million for the second quarter of 2023, representing earnings per diluted common share of $0.64. In comparison, Peoples reported net income of $26.6 million, representing earnings per diluted common share of $0.94, for the first quarter of 2023, and net income of $24.9 million, representing earnings per diluted common share of $0.88, for the second quarter of 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, Peoples recorded net income of $47.7 million, or $1.56 per diluted common share, compared to $48.5 million, or $1.72 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Non-core items, and the related tax effect of each, in net income primarily included acquisition-related expenses. Non-core items negatively impacted earnings per diluted common share by $0.28 for the second quarter of 2023, $0.07 for the first quarter of 2023, and $0.02 for the second quarter of 2022. Non-core items negatively impacted earnings per diluted share by $0.37 and $0.06 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Net interest income was $84.9 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $12.0 million, or 16%, compared to the linked quarter. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to net interest income provided by Limestone following the Limestone Merger and increases in market interest rates. Net interest margin was 4.54% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 4.53% for the linked quarter. The increase in net interest margin was primarily driven by the accretion on the acquired Limestone portfolio as well as increases in market interest rates. Also impacting the increases in net interest income and net interest margin were 43 basis points of improvement in loan yields due to recent increases in market interest rates and a shift in the composition of the loan portfolio into higher-yielding leases, and 29 basis points of improvement in investment yields when compared to the linked quarter due to sales of lower-yielding investment securities and securities acquired in the Limestone Merger. Partially offsetting this benefit was a shift in the composition of funding sources combined with an increase in market interest rates for deposits and other funding sources. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2023 increased $23.4 million, or 38%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2023 increased 70 basis points compared to 3.84% for the second quarter of 2022. The increase in net interest income compared to the second quarter of 2022 was driven by increases in market interest rates, the Limestone Merger, and organic growth. For the first six months of 2023, net interest income increased $42.0 million, or 36%, compared to the first six months of 2022, while net interest margin increased 90 basis points to 4.53%. The increase in net interest income was driven by increases in market interest rates and the additional net interest income from the Limestone Merger. Partially offsetting this benefit was a shift in the composition of funding sources combined with an increase in market interest rates for deposits and other funding sources.

Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2023, $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2023 and $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2022, which added 24 basis points, 13 basis points and 25 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The increases in accretion income for the second quarter of 2023 when compared to the linked quarter and the second quarter of 2022 were driven by accretion from the Limestone Merger. Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which added 18 and 21 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The decrease in accretion income for the first six months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was due to more accretion in 2022 from the acquisitions of Vantage and NSL and the Premier Merger, as compared to accretion primarily from the Limestone Merger.

The provision for credit losses was $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to a provision for credit losses of $1.9 million for the linked quarter and a recovery of credit losses of $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2022. The provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2023 was due to a provision of $9.4 million for the non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, partially offset by the release of reserves of $1.7 million on individually analyzed loans and a recovery of $1.0 million due to improvements in macro-economic conditions. The provision for credit losses in the linked quarter was largely attributable to a deterioration of macro-economic conditions and charge-offs, partially offset by a reduction in reserves for individually analyzed loans. The recovery of credit losses in the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to an improvement in economic factors and loss drivers within the CECL model. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2023 were $1.2 million, or 0.09% of average total loans annualized, compared to net charge-offs of $1.5 million, or 0.13% of average total loans annualized, for the linked quarter and net charge-offs of $1.5 million, or 0.14% of average total loans annualized, for the second quarter of 2022. For additional information on credit trends and the allowance for credit losses, see the "FINANCIAL CONDITION - Allowance for Credit Losses" section below.

The provision for credit losses during the first six months of 2023 was $9.8 million, compared to a recovery of credit losses of $7.6 million for the first six months of 2022. The provision for credit losses during the first six months of 2023 was driven by (i) the addition of the provision for the non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, (ii) loan growth and (iii) economic forecast deterioration, partially offset by a reduction in the reserves for individually analyzed loans and the use of updated loss drivers. The recovery of credit losses during the first six months of 2022 was driven by improvements in economic forecasts, coupled with loan payoffs and sales during certain periods. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 2023 were $2.7 million, or 0.11% of average total loans annualized, compared to net charge-offs of $3.5 million, or 0.15% annualized, for the first six months of 2022. For additional information on credit trends and the allowance for credit losses, see the "Asset Quality" section below.

Net gains and losses include gains and losses on investment securities, asset disposals and other transactions, which are included in total non-interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The net loss realized during the second quarter of 2023 was $1.8 million, compared to a net loss of $2.2 million for the linked quarter, and a net loss of $196,000 for the second quarter of 2022. The net loss in the second quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by a $1.6 million write-down of an OREO property due to a potential sale of the property. The net loss for the linked quarter was primarily due to the $2.0 million pre-tax net loss on the sale of the available-for-sale investment securities mentioned above. The net loss realized during the first six months of 2023 was $4.0 million, compared to $193,000 for the first six months of 2022. The net loss for the first six months of 2023 was primarily driven by the $2.0 million pre-tax net loss on the sale of the available-for-sale investment securities mentioned above and the $1.6 million write-down of the OREO property mentioned above. The net loss recognized in the first six months of 2022 was primarily driven by an adjustment to the gain on sale of loans recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to a measurement period adjustment to the acquisition-date fair value of Premier loans acquired that were subsequently sold.

Table of Contents

Total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, for the second quarter of 2023 increased $1.6 million compared to the linked quarter. The increase in non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, was due to a $1.0 million increase in electronic banking income and a $0.6 million increase in deposit account service charge income, mostly due to the additional customers brought in from the Limestone Merger, and a $0.6 million increase lease income, primarily from residual sales and month-to-month lease income. Compared to the second quarter of 2022, non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, increased $3.3 million, primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in electronic banking income and a $0.6 million increase in deposit account service charge income, mostly due to the additional customers brought in from Limestone Merger, and a $1.3 million increase in lease income, primarily from residual sales and month-to-month lease income.

For the first six months of 2023, total non-interest income, excluding gains and losses, increased $4.5 million, or 11%, compared to the first six months of 2022. The increase was driven by growth of (i) $1.6 million in lease income, primarily due to lease fee income from Vantage, (ii) a $1.2 million increase in electronic banking income, primarily due to the Limestone Merger and (iii) a $1.1 million increase in insurance income due to growth in the commercial insurance line.

Total non-interest expense for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2023 were primarily impacted by the Limestone Merger, which added $10.7 million and $11.3 million of acquisition-related non-interest expenses across various line-items within non-interest expense. Total non-interest expense increased $14.1 million, or 25%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the linked quarter. The increase in total non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2023 was attributable to increases of $5.1 million and $4.5 million in acquisition-related salaries and employee benefit costs and professional fees, respectively, due to the Limestone Merger. Excluding acquisition-related expenses, total non-interest expense increased $4.0 million, primarily due to increases of (i) $0.9 million in the amortization of other intangible assets, (ii) $0.9 million in salaries and employee benefit costs, both driven by the Limestone Merger, and (iii) $0.7 million in FDIC insurance expense. Compared to the second quarter of 2022, total non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2023 increased $20.7 million, or 42%, primarily due to an increase of $10.1 million in acquisition-related expenses. Excluding acquisition-related expenses, non-interest expenses increased $10.6 million, primarily due to a $5.1 million increase in salaries and employee benefit costs due to additional employees added in the Limestone Merger, and a $1.9 million increase in data processing and software expense due to recent growth, including through acquisitions.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, total non-interest expense increased $25.6 million, or 25.2%, compared to the first six months of 2022, primarily due to an increase of $9.3 million in acquisition-related expenses. Excluding acquisition-related expenses, non-interest expenses increased $16.3 million. This variance was driven by increases of $9.6 million and $3.6 million in salaries and employee benefit costs and data processing and software expense, respectively, due to recent growth, partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in electronic banking expense driven by reduced costs for Peoples' online banking platform, as well as a reclassification of those costs relative to the prior period.

The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2023 was 62.7%, compared to 57.8% for the linked quarter, and 58.8% for the second quarter of 2022. The increases in the efficiency ratio compared to the linked quarter and prior year quarter were primarily due to the increases in non-interest expenses, primarily from the Limestone Merger, which were partially offset by higher net interest income due to increases in the market interest rates and additional customers from Limestone. The efficiency ratio, adjusted for non-core items, was 53.3% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 57.2% for the linked quarter and 58.0% for the second quarter of 2022. Peoples continues to focus on controlling expenses, while recognizing necessary costs in order to continue growing the business.

Peoples recorded income tax expense of $6.2 million with an effective tax rate of 22.6% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to income tax expense of $7.0 million with an effective tax rate of 21.0% for the linked quarter, and income tax expense of $6.8 million with an effective tax rate of 21.6% for the second quarter of 2022. Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the linked quarter and the second quarter of 2022, decreased due to less net income before income taxes. The effective rate increase for the second quarter of 2022 was primarily due to the Limestone Merger. Peoples recorded income tax expense of $13.2 million with an effective tax rate of 21.7% in the first six months of 2023 and $12.8 million with an effective tax rate of 20.9% in the first six months of 2022. The increase was driven by higher pre-tax income.

At June 30, 2023, total assets were $8.79 billion, compared to $7.31 billion at March 31, 2023, $7.21 billion at December 31, 2022 and $7.28 billion at June 30, 2022. Total assets at June 30, 2023 increased compared to all prior periods due to $1.51 billion of assets, primarily loans, acquired in the Limestone Merger. Excluding the loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, the period-end loan and lease balance at June 30, 2023 increased $146.4 million, compared to at March 31, 2023 or 12% annualized, primarily due to increases of (i) $71.3 million in construction loans, (ii) $25.3 million in commercial and industrial loans, (iii) $23.1 million in leases and (iv) $22.9 million in other commercial real estate loans. Excluding the loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, the period-end loan and lease balance at June 30, 2023 increased $199.0 million, or 9% annualized, compared to at December 31, 2022 driven by increases of $80.4 million, $56.6 million, $32.7 million, $24.9 million and $23.8 million in other commercial real estate loans, construction loans, leases, indirect consumer loans and commercial and industrial loans, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $16.3 million in consumer residential real estate loans. The increase from December 31, 2022 was also impacted by an increase in held-to-maturity investment securities as management underwent an initiative during the first quarter of 2023 to sell lower yielding available-for-sale investment securities whose proceeds were used to pay down higher cost funding. Excluding the loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, period-end loan and lease balance at June 30, 2023 increased $330.2 million, or 7% annualized, compared to at June 30, 2022 primarily due to increases of $101.0 million, $91.3 million, $63.3 million, $58.0

million and $43.9 million in construction loans, indirect consumer loans, leases, commercial and industrial loans and other commercial real estate loans, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $36.0 million in consumer residential real estate loans.

Total liabilities were $7.79 billion at June 30, 2023, up from $6.49 billion at March 31, 2023, $6.42 billion at December 31, 2022 and $6.49 billion at June 30, 2022. The increases in total liabilities were primarily due to $1.14 billion of liabilities, primarily deposits, acquired from Limestone. Excluding the deposits acquired in the Limestone Merger, deposits at June 30, 2023 increased $88.6 million compared to at March 31, 2023, primarily due to increases of $241.4 million in brokered CDs, which are primarily used as a source of funding, and $139.2 million in retail CDs, partially offset by decreases of $133.9 million, $59.9 million, $50.0 million and $41.1 million in non-interest bearing deposits, savings accounts, governmental deposit accounts, and interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, respectively. Excluding the deposits acquired in the Limestone Merger, deposits at June 30, 2023 increased $160.1 million compared to at December 31, 2022, primarily due to increases of $389.0 million in brokered CDs and of $231.1 million in retail CDs, partially offset by decreases of $168.3 million, $103.8 million, $116.1 million and $26.6 million in non-interest bearing deposits, savings accounts, interest-bearing demand deposit accounts and governmental deposit accounts, respectively. Excluding deposits acquired in the Limestone Merger, deposits decreased $52.1 million compared to June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases of $240.7 million, $128.7 million, $115.3 million, $98.9 million and $73.4 million in non-interest bearing deposits, governmental deposit accounts, savings accounts, interest-bearing demand deposit accounts and money-market deposit accounts, respectively. Partially offsetting these decreases in deposit balances, excluding the deposits acquired in the Limestone Merger, were increases of $427.9 million in brokered CDs and of $177.1 million in retail CDs.

Total stockholders' equity at June 30, 2023 increased by $179.4 million, $213.6 million and $212.1 million compared to at March 31, 2023, at December 31, 2022 and at June 30, 2022, primarily due to 6.8 million common shares issued in the Limestone Merger. The increase when compared to March 31, 2023 was also impacted by net income for the second quarter of 2023 of $21.1 million, partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $7.9 million and dividends paid of $13.4 million. The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss was the result of the changes in the market value of available-for-sale investment securities during the period. Accumulated unrealized losses related to the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio were $121.5 million and $112.7 million at June 30, 2023 and at March 31, 2023, respectively. The increase in total stockholders' equity at June 30, 2023 when compared to at December 31, 2022 was also impacted by net income for the first six months of 2023 of $47.7 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $8.2 million, partially offset by dividends paid of $24.1 million. Accumulated unrealized losses related to the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio were $129.9 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in total stockholders' equity at June 30, 2023 when compared to at June 30, 2022 was also impacted by net income of $100.5 million in the last twelve months, partially offset by dividends paid of $45.6 million and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $25.6 million. The increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss was the result of an increase of $27.8 million in unrealized losses related to the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023. Accumulated unrealized losses related to the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio were $93.6 million at June 30, 2023.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the amount by which interest income exceeds interest expense, remains Peoples' largest source of revenue. The amount of net interest income earned by Peoples each quarter is affected by various factors, including changes in market interest rates due to the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, the level and degree of pricing competition for loans and deposits in Peoples’ markets, and the amount and composition of Peoples' earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. 

Net interest margin, which is calculated by dividing fully tax-equivalent ("FTE") net interest income by average interest-earning assets, serves as an important measurement of the net revenue stream generated by the volume, mix and pricing of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  FTE net interest income is calculated by increasing interest income to convert tax-exempt income earned on obligations of states and political subdivisions and tax-exempt loans to the pre-tax equivalent of taxable income using a blended corporate income tax rate of 23.6% for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 23.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The following table details the calculation of FTE net interest income:

(d)Loans held for sale are included in the average loan balance listed. Related interest income on loans originated for sale prior to the loan being sold is included in loan interest income.

(e)Interest related to interest rate swap transactions is included, as appropriate to the transaction, in interest expense on short-term FHLB advances and interest expense on brokered CDs for the periods presented in which FHLB advances and brokered CDs were being utilized.

(f)Included in other long-term borrowings are trust preferred securities held for investments and floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures.

Peoples' average balances compared to prior periods have been impacted by recent acquisitions, including the Limestone Merger as of the close of business on April 30, 2023, which added to average loan, deposit and borrowed funds balances. Peoples' cash balances have increased primarily due to the increases in market interest rates which have increased asset yields and deposit outflows (which have increased borrowings), as well as the Limestone Merger.

The following table provides an analysis of the changes in FTE net interest income:

Compared to the linked quarter, net interest income increased 16% and net interest margin expanded by 1 basis point. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to net interest income provided by Limestone following the Limestone Merger and increases in market interest rates. Net interest margin was 4.54% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 4.53% for the linked quarter. The increase in net interest margin was primarily driven by the accretion on the acquired Limestone portfolio as well as increases in market interest rates. Also impacting the increases in net interest income and net interest margin were 43 basis points of improvement in loan yields due to recent increases in market interest rates and a shift in the composition of the loan portfolio into higher-yielding leases, and 29 basis points of improvement in investment yields when compared to the linked quarter due to sales of lower-yielding investment securities and securities acquired in the Limestone Merger. Partially offsetting this benefit was a shift in the composition of funding sources combined with an increase in market interest rates for deposits and other funding sources.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2023 grew 38% over the prior year quarter and net interest margin increased by 70 basis points. The increase in net interest income compared to the second quarter of 2022 was driven by increases in market interest rates, the Limestone Merger, and organic growth. Compared to the prior year quarter, loan yields grew 161 basis points due to the rising market interest rate environment and both acquisitive and organic growth, while borrowing costs increased 250 basis points as a result of the increase in long-term borrowings due primarily to a change in the composition of borrowings, and were also impacted by increases in market interest rates.

For the first half of 2023, net interest income and net interest margin grew 36% and 90 basis points, respectively, compared to 2022. During that same time, loan yields increased 163 basis points, which was partially offset by higher borrowing costs. The increase in net interest income was driven by increases in market interest rates and the additional net interest income provided by Limestone following the Limestone Merger.

Peoples recognized interest income on deferred loan fees/costs associated with PPP loans of $0.6 million during the second quarter of 2022 along with $79,000 of interest earned on PPP loans. The interest income recognized on PPP loans added 2 basis points to net interest margin for the second quarter of 2022. For the first half of 2022, interest income recognized on deferred loan fees/costs related to PPP loans was $1.8 million, and interest earned was $232,000. The deferred loan fees/costs associated with PPP loans and interest earned on PPP loans were minimal for the second quarter of 2023, the linked quarter and the first six months of 2023.

Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2023, $2.0 million for the linked quarter and $3.9 million for the second quarter of 2022, which added 24 basis points, 13 basis points and 25 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The increases in accretion income for the second quarter of 2023 when compared to the linked quarter and the second quarter of 2022 were driven by accretion from the Limestone Merger. For the first half of 2023, accretion income totaled $6.5 million and added 18 basis points to net interest margin compared to $6.7 million and 21 basis points for the first half of 2022. The decrease in accretion income for the first six months of 2023 compared to the first six months of 2022 was due to more accretion in 2022 from the acquisitions of Vantage and NSL and the Premier Merger in 2021, as compared to accretion primarily from the Limestone Merger in 2023.

Additional information regarding changes in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets can be found under appropriate captions of the “FINANCIAL CONDITION” section of this MD&A. Additional information regarding Peoples' interest rate risk and the potential impact of interest rate changes on Peoples' results of operations and financial condition can be found later in this MD&A under the caption "FINANCIAL CONDITION - Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity."

Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses

The following table details Peoples’ provision for (recovery of) credit losses:

(a) Presented on an annualized basis.

The provision for (recovery of) credit losses recorded represents the amount needed to maintain the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses based on management’s quarterly estimates. The provision for credit losses in the second quarter of 2023 was due to a provision of $9.4 million for the non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, partially offset by the release of reserves of $1.7 million on individually analyzed loans and a recovery of $1.0 million due to improvements in macro-economic conditions. The provision for credit losses in the linked quarter was largely attributable to a deterioration of macro-economic conditions and charge-offs, partially offset by a reduction in reserves for individually analyzed loans.

53

Table of Contents

During the first quarter of 2023, Peoples recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.9 million, which was largely attributable to a deterioration of macro-economic conditions and an increase in charge-off activity, partially offset by a reduction in reserves for individually analyzed loans.

The recovery of credit losses recorded during the second quarter of 2022 was driven by an improvement in economic factors and loss drivers within the CECL model.

For the first half of 2023, the provision for credit losses was driven by (i) the addition of the provision for the non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, (ii) loan growth and (iii) economic forecast deterioration, partially offset by a reduction in the reserves for individually analyzed loans and the use of updated loss drivers. For the first six months of 2022, the recovery of credit losses was driven by improvements in economic forecasts, coupled with loan payoffs and sales during certain periods.

Additional information regarding changes in the allowance for credit losses and loan credit quality can be found later in this MD&A under the caption “FINANCIAL CONDITION - Allowance for Credit Losses.”

Net (Loss) Gain Included in Total Non-Interest Income

Net (loss) gain includes net losses and net gains on investment securities, asset disposals and other transactions, which are recognized in total non-interest income. The following table details Peoples’ net losses and net gains for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2023		March 31, 2023		June 30, 2022		June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)							2023		2022
Net (loss) gain on investment securities	$	(166)	$	(1,935)	$	(44)	$	(2,101)	$	86
Net loss on asset disposals and other transactions:
Net loss on other assets	(44)		(229)		(119)		(273)		(141)
Net loss on OREO	(1,613)		(10)		(33)		(1,623)		(34)
Net loss on other transactions	(8)		(7)		—		(15)		(104)
Net loss on asset disposals and other transactions	$	(1,665)	$	(246)	$	(152)	$	(1,911)	$	(279)

The net loss on investment securities in the first quarter of 2023 was due to a $2.0 million pre-tax net loss on the sale of available-for-sale investment securities. During the first quarter of 2023, Peoples executed the sale of $96.7 million of its lower yielding available-for-sale securities which were used to pay down overnight borrowings. The loss on the sale of the available-for-sale investment securities had a nominal impact on tangible book value as such loss was previously reflected in capital through accumulated other comprehensive loss. The realized losses recognized due to these transactions are projected to be earned back within the 2023 fiscal year.

The net loss on asset disposals and other transactions increased in the second quarter of 2023 when compared to the linked quarter and the prior year second quarter, and increased for the first six months of 2023, when compared to the first six months of 2022. During the second quarter of 2023 Peoples recognized a $1.6 million write-down of an OREO property due to the potential sale of the property. The first six months of 2022 were impacted by a net loss on other transactions primarily driven by an adjustment to the gain on sale of loans recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021, due to a measurement period adjustment to the acquisition-date fair value of Premier loans acquired that were subsequently sold.

Total Non-Interest Income, Excluding Net Gains and Losses

Total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, comprised 21% of Peoples' total revenues (defined as net interest income plus total non-interest income excluding net gains and losses) for the second quarter of 2023, compared to 23% and 24% for the linked quarter and the second quarter of 2022, respectively. For the first six months of 2023, total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, totaled 22% of total revenues compared to 26% for the first six months of 2022. The decreases in these ratios for the second quarter and the first six months of 2023 when compared to prior periods were primarily due to higher net interest income associated with income from Limestone following the Limestone Merger, coupled with the increases in the market interest rates.

For the second quarter of 2023, electronic banking income comprised the largest portion of Peoples' total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses. Peoples' electronic banking ("e-banking") services include ATM and debit cards, direct deposit services, internet and mobile banking, and remote deposit capture, and serve as alternative delivery channels to traditional sales offices for providing services to customers. The following table details Peoples' e-banking income:

Table of Contents

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2023		March 31, 2023		June 30, 2022		June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)							2023		2022
E-banking income	$	6,466	$	5,443	$	5,419	$	11,909	$	10,672

Peoples' e-banking income is derived largely from ATM and debit cards, as other services are mainly provided at no charge to customers. The amount of e-banking income is largely dependent on the timing and volume of customer activity. E-banking income increased for the second quarter of 2023 compared to each of the linked quarter and the prior year second quarter primarily due to additional income provided by Limestone. E-banking income for the first half of 2023 was also impacted by increased customer activity when compared to the same period in 2022.

The following table details Peoples' insurance income:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2023		March 31, 2023		June 30, 2022		June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)							2023		2022
Property and casualty insurance commissions	$	3,360	$	3,252	$	3,039	$	6,612	$	5,901
Performance-based commissions	35		1,527		10		1,562		1,356
Life and health insurance commissions	535		564		506		1,099		956
Other fees and charges	74		82		92		156		164
Insurance income	$	4,004	$	5,425	$	3,647	$	9,429	$	8,377

Peoples' insurance income for the second quarter of 2023 declined 26% when compared to that for the linked quarter. This decrease in insurance income was due to the seasonality of performance-based commissions being earned, which are annual in nature and typically are recorded in the first quarter of each year. Compared to the second quarter of 2022, insurance income increased 10% and was driven by higher performance-based property and casualty insurance commissions. Insurance income in the first half of 2023 increased 13% when compared to the first half of 2022 due to higher commissions and additional customers.

Peoples' fiduciary income and brokerage income continued to be based primarily upon the value of assets under administration and management, with additional income generated from transaction commissions, cross-selling of products and additional retirement plan services business. The following table details Peoples’ trust and investment income:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2023		March 31, 2023		June 30, 2022		June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)							2023		2022
Fiduciary income	$	2,046	$	1,805	$	1,999	$	3,851	$	3,964
Brokerage income	1,667		1,627		1,631		3,294		3,280
Employee benefit fees	701		652		616		1,353		1,278
Trust and investment income	$	4,414	$	4,084	$	4,246	$	8,498	$	8,522

Fiduciary income and brokerage income increased slightly in the second quarter of 2023 relative to the linked quarter and the second quarter of 2022, due to an increase in assets under administration and management. For the first half of 2023, trust and investment income declined when compared to the same period in 2022 due to less fiduciary income, primarily reflecting market volatility.

The following table details Peoples' assets under administration and management:

	June 30, 2023		March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022		September 30, 2022		June 30, 2022

Table of Contents

The increases in assets under administration and management at June 30, 2023, compared to at March 31, 2023 and at June 30, 2022 were driven by an increase in trust assets and market value fluctuations. During the first quarter of 2023, brokerage assets increased $30 million due to the acquisition of an independent financial advisor in January of 2023.

Deposit account service charges are based on the recovery of costs associated with services provided. The following table details Peoples' deposit account service charges:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2023		March 31, 2023		June 30, 2022		June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)							2023		2022
Overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees	$	2,276	$	1,842	$	2,019	$	4,118	$	3,921
Account maintenance fees	1,623		1,461		1,306		3,084		2,617
Other fees and charges	254		220		233		474		446
Deposit account service charges	$	4,153	$	3,523	$	3,558	$	7,676	$	6,984

The amount of deposit account service charges, particularly fees for overdrafts and non-sufficient funds, is largely dependent on the timing and volume of customer activity. Management periodically evaluates its cost recovery fees to ensure they are reasonable based on operational costs and similar to fees charged in Peoples' markets by competitors. Deposit account service charges increased for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the linked quarter and prior year second quarter due to additional fee income from Limestone customers. Year to date deposit account service charges also increased for the first six months of 2023 compared to the same period of 2022 due to increased maintenance fee rates.

The following table details the other items included within Peoples' total non-interest income:

	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2023	March 31, 2023	June 30, 2022	June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)				2023	2022
Lease income	1,719	1,077	431	2,796	1,206
Bank owned life insurance income	842	707	797	1,549	1,228
Mortgage banking income	189	314	352	503	788
Other non-interest income	1,059	668	1,133	1,727	1,852

Lease income is primarily comprised of (i) gains on the early termination of leases, (ii) fees received for referrals, (iii) gains and losses recognized on the sales of residual assets and (iv) syndication income. The second quarter of 2023 increase in lease income when compared to the linked quarter was due to residual sales and month-to-month lease income. The first quarter of 2023 was also impacted by seasonal fluctuations in syndication income. The second quarter and first six months of 2023 increases in lease income when compared to the same periods of 2022 were due to increases in lease income from Vantage.

Bank owned life insurance income for the second quarter of 2023 increased compared to the linked quarter and the second quarter of 2022 due to additional income from Limestone. The first half of 2023 increase in bank owned life insurance income when compared to the first half of 2022 was also due to additional investments in bank owned life insurance.

Mortgage banking income is comprised mostly of net gains from the origination and sale of real estate loans in the secondary market, and, to a lesser extent, servicing income for loans sold with servicing retained. As a result, the amount of income recognized by Peoples is largely dependent on customer demand and long-term interest rates for residential real estate loans offered in the secondary market. Mortgage banking income for the second quarter of 2023 and first six months of 2023 declined when compared to the presented prior periods primarily due to the rising market interest rate environment.

In the second quarter of 2023, Peoples sold $1.1 million in loans into the secondary market with servicing retained and $6.1 million in loans with servicing released, compared to $0.8 million and $7.4 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2023, and $4.6 million and $6.1 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2022. For the first six months of 2023, Peoples sold $1.9 million in loans into the secondary market with servicing retained, and $13.5 million with servicing released, compared to $33.0 million and $17.4 million, respectively, for the first six months of 2022.

Non-Interest Expense

Salaries and employee benefit costs remain Peoples' largest non-interest expense, accounting for over one-half of total non-interest expense.  The following table details Peoples' salaries and employee benefit costs:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2023		March 31, 2023		June 30, 2022		June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)							2023		2022
Base salaries and wages	$	27,407	$	20,332	$	18,408	$	47,739	$	36,084
Employee benefits	3,622		4,115		3,321		7,737		6,942
Sales-based and incentive compensation	5,502		3,945		4,913		9,447		8,549
Payroll taxes and other employment costs	1,535		2,370		1,389		3,905		3,480
Stock-based compensation	1,043		2,189		600		3,232		2,205
Deferred personnel costs	(1,084)		(923)		(1,046)		(2,007)		(1,946)
Salaries and employee benefit costs	$	38,025	$	32,028	$	27,585	$	70,053	$	55,314
Full-time equivalent employees:
Actual at end of period	1,500		1,286		1,261		1,500		1,261
Average during the period	1,393		1,283		1,255		1,305		1,241

Base salaries and wages for the second quarter of 2023 and the first half of 2023 increased compared to the comparative prior periods primarily due to $5.0 million of acquisition-related expenses related to the Limestone Merger and $2.1 million of additional expenses from Limestone employees in the second quarter of 2023. Base salaries and wages for the first half of 2023 also increased when compared to the same period of 2022 due to a rise in annual merit increases as well as a full six months of expenses related to the additional salaries associated with the acquisition of Vantage compared to four months of expenses in the first half of 2022.

The decrease in employee benefits for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the linked quarter, was primarily due to annual contributions to employee health savings accounts that occur for the most part in the first quarter of each year. The increases in employee benefits for the second quarter of 2023 and the first half of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2023 and the first half of 2022 were primarily due to the addition of Limestone employee benefits expenses. The increase in employee benefits for the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022 was also due to higher medical costs reflecting a full six months of expenses in 2023 for the Vantage employees versus four months of expenses in the first half of 2022.

The increases in sales-based and incentive compensation for the second quarter of 2023 and the first half of 2023 compared to the comparative prior periods presented were primarily due to the overall company performance measures used in calculating incentive awards.

Payroll taxes and other employment costs for the second quarter of 2023 decreased compared to the linked quarter due to seasonal expenses recognized in the first quarter of each year. The increases for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily due to $0.2 million of additional Limestone-related expenses and $0.1 million of acquisition-related expenses in the second quarter of 2023.

Stock-based compensation is generally recognized over the vesting period, which generally ranges from immediate vesting to vesting at the end of three years. An adjustment is made at the vesting date to reverse expense relating to forfeitures for performance awards, and at the date of forfeiture to reverse expense for non-vested restricted common share awards. Stock grants to retirement eligible grantees are expensed either immediately or over a shorter period than three years. The majority of Peoples' stock-based compensation is attributable to annual equity-based incentive awards to employees, which are awarded in the first quarter of each year based upon Peoples achieving certain performance goals during the prior year, and are generally contingent on employment through the vesting period. Stock-based compensation for the second quarter of 2023 and the first six months of 2023 increased when compared to the second quarter of 2022 and the first six months of 2022 due to additional employees, including the ones added in the Limestone Merger and the acquisition of Vantage.

Deferred personnel costs represent the portion of current period salaries and employee benefit costs considered to be direct loan origination costs. These costs are capitalized and recognized over the life of the loan as a yield adjustment in interest income. As a result, the amount of deferred personnel costs for each period corresponds directly with the volume of loan originations, coupled with the average deferred costs per loan that are updated annually at the beginning of each year. The increase in deferred personnel costs for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to a prior period adjustment of costs to originate leases in the first quarter of 2023.

Other non-interest expense	5,465		4,574		3,398		10,039		6,745

Professional fees for the second quarter and the first six months of 2023 increased when compared to the comparative prior periods in 2022 due to $4.8 million and $5.1 million of acquisition-related expenses during the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively.

Data processing and software expense for the second quarter of 2023 increased when compared to the linked quarter due to $0.7 million of data processing and software expenses attributable to Limestone. Data processing and software expense for the second quarter and the first half of 2023 increased when compared to the second quarter and first half of 2022, driven by software upgrades and implementation of new systems, coupled with the increased size of Peoples' organization.

Amortization of other intangible assets for the second quarter and the first six months of 2023 increased when compared to the comparative prior periods in 2022 due to $0.9 million of Limestone-related expenses during the second quarter of 2023.

Peoples' e-banking expense is comprised of costs associated with debit and ATM cards. E-banking expense increased during the second quarter of 2023 compared to the linked quarter, and is correlated to e-banking income, which also increased during the second quarter of 2023 from the linked quarter primarily due to additional customers added from the Limestone Merger. E-banking expense decreased for the second quarter and first six months of 2023 when compared to the same periods of 2022 due to a decline in customer activity in 2023 compared to 2022, as well as reduced costs for Peoples' online banking platform, and a reclassification of those costs relative to the prior period.

Peoples' FDIC insurance premiums for the second quarter and the first six months of 2023 increased when compared to the comparative prior periods in 2022 due to organic and acquisitive growth and an increase in rates assessed by the FDIC. The first six months of 2022 was also impacted by an adjustment in the first quarter of 2022 relating to prior acquisitions.

Marketing expense and communication expense for the second quarter and the first half of 2023 increased when compared to the comparative prior periods in 2022 due to the Limestone Merger. There were additional marketing expenses in 2023 due to additional marketing campaigns to promote the Limestone Merger and $0.1 million of Limestone-related marketing expenses during the second quarter of 2023. Limestone added $0.1 million of communication expense in the second quarter of 2023.

Peoples is subject to state franchise taxes, which are based largely on Peoples' equity, in the states where Peoples has a physical presence. Franchise tax expense also includes the Ohio Financial Institution Tax ("FIT"), which is a business privilege tax that is

imposed on financial institutions organized for profit and doing business in Ohio. The Ohio FIT is based on the total equity capital in proportion to the taxpayer's gross receipts in Ohio as of the most recent year-end. The decreases for the second quarter of 2023 versus the linked quarter and the second quarter of 2022 were driven by a refund received in the second quarter of 2023.

Other loan expenses during the second quarter of 2023 decreased when compared to the linked quarter primarily due to lower indirect lending volume and decreased collection expense. The second quarter of 2023 increase when compared to the second quarter of 2022 was due to Limestone-related expenses.

Other non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2023 and the first six months of 2023 increased when compared to the comparative prior periods in 2022 due to $0.6 million and $0.8 million of acquisition-related expenses, respectively, as well as $0.3 million of additional expenses from Limestone in the second quarter of 2023.

Income Tax Expense

Peoples recorded income tax expense of $6.2 million with an effective tax rate of 22.6% for the second quarter of 2023, compared to income tax expense of $7.0 million with an effective tax rate of 21.0% for the linked quarter and income tax expense of $6.8 million with an effective tax rate of 21.6% for the second quarter of 2022. Income tax expense for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the linked quarter and second quarter of 2022, decreased due to less income before income taxes. Peoples recorded income tax expense of $13.2 million with an effective tax rate of 21.7% in the first six months of 2023 and $12.8 million with an effective tax rate of 20.9% in the first six months of 2022. The increase was driven by higher pre-tax income.

Additional information regarding income taxes can be found in "Note 13. Income Taxes" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K.

Pre-Provision Net Revenue (Non-US GAAP)

Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR") has become a key financial measure used by state and federal bank regulatory agencies when assessing the capital adequacy of financial institutions. PPNR is defined as net interest income plus total non-interest income, excluding all gains and losses, minus total non-interest expense. As a result, PPNR represents the earnings capacity that can be either retained in order to build capital or used to absorb unexpected losses and preserve existing capital. This ratio represents a Non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the provision for (recovery of) credit losses and all gains and losses included in earnings.

The following table provides a reconciliation of this Non-US GAAP financial measure to the amounts reported in Peoples' Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods presented:

Pre-provision net revenue per common share - diluted	$	1.13		$	1.34		$	1.11		$	2.45		$	1.91

The decrease in the PPNR for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023 was driven by increased non-interest expense, primarily due to the Limestone Merger, mostly offset by increased net interest income due to the positive impact of recent increases in market interest rates. The increases in PPNR for the second quarter and the first half of 2023 when compared to the same periods in 2022 were due to increased net interest income reflecting the positive impact of recent increases in market interest rates as well as the additional net interest income from Limestone customers after the Limestone Merger.

Core Non-Interest Expense (Non-US GAAP)

Core non-interest expense is a financial measure used to evaluate Peoples' recurring expense stream. This measure is Non-US GAAP since it excludes the impact of all acquisition-related expenses, pension settlement charges, COVID-19-related expenses and the COVID-19 Employee Retention Credit.

Efficiency Ratio (Non-US GAAP)

The efficiency ratio is a key financial measure used to monitor performance. The efficiency ratio is calculated as total non-interest expense (less amortization of other intangible assets) as a percentage of FTE net interest income plus total non-interest income excluding net gains and losses. This measure is Non-US GAAP since it excludes amortization of other intangible assets and all gains and losses included in earnings, and uses FTE net interest income.

Table of Contents

The efficiency ratio increased for the second quarter of 2023 when compared to the first quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to increases in acquisition-related expenses and additional non-interest expenses from Limestone, partially offset by increased net interest income driven by additional income from Limestone customers as well as increases in market interest rates. The efficiency ratio for the first half of 2023 improved when compared the first half of 2022 due to increased net interest income driven by increases in the market interest rates and additional net interest income provided by Limestone after the Limestone Merger, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses due to the Limestone Merger.

The efficiency ratios adjusted for non-core items for the second quarter of 2023 and the first half of 2023 improved when compared to the comparative prior periods of 2022 due to increased net interest income driven by increases in the market interest rates and additional net interest income provided by Limestone after the Limestone Merger, partially offset by an increase in core non-interest expense due to the Limestone Merger.

Return on Average Assets Adjusted for Non-Core Items Ratio (Non-US GAAP)

In addition to return on average assets, management uses return on average assets adjusted for non-core items to monitor performance. The return on average assets adjusted for non-core items ratio represents a Non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the after-tax impact of all gains and losses, acquisition-related expenses, pension settlement charges, COVID-19-related expenses and the COVID-19 Employee Retention Credit.

(a) Based on a 21% statutory federal corporate income tax rate.

The return on average assets for the second quarter of 2023 decreased when compared to the linked quarter, due to an increase in average assets resulting from the Limestone Merger as well as a decrease in annualized net income due to increases in non-interest expenses. The slight decrease in the return on average assets for the second quarter of 2023, compared to the second quarter of 2022, was attributable to the assets acquired in the Limestone Merger, mostly offset by a decrease in annualized net income due to higher non-interest expenses and a provision for credit losses compared to a recovery of credit losses in the second quarter of 2022. The return on average assets for the first half of 2023 decreased when compared to the first half of 2022, due to an increase in average assets and higher non-interest expenses and a provision for credit losses compared to a recovery of credit losses in the first half of 2022.

Return on Average Tangible Equity Ratio (Non-US GAAP)

The return on average tangible equity ratio is a key financial measure used to monitor performance. This ratio is calculated as annualized net income (less the after-tax impact of amortization of other intangible assets) divided by average tangible equity. This

The return on total average stockholders' equity and average tangible equity ratios were lower in the second quarter of 2023 and the first half of 2023 relative to the comparative prior periods in 2022 due to issuance of 6.8 million common shares as consideration in the Limestone Merger, an increase in acquisition-related expenses, and an increase in the provision for credit losses due to the initial provision for the non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired from Limestone. Factors that partially offset the decreases in the ratios were an increase in total net interest income driven by the recent increases in market interest rates and additional net interest income from Limestone following the Limestone Merger.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At June 30, 2023, Peoples' interest-bearing deposits in other banks had decreased $3.0 million from December 31, 2022. The total cash and cash equivalents balance included $50.7 million of excess cash reserves being maintained at the FRB of Cleveland at June 30, 2023, compared to $33.1 million at December 31, 2022. The amount of excess cash reserves maintained is dependent upon Peoples' daily liquidity position, which is driven primarily by changes in deposit and loan balances.

Through the first six months of 2023, Peoples' total cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.5 million as Peoples used $51.2 million of cash in investing activities and $17.6 million of cash in financing activities, mostly offset by $63.2 million of cash provided by operating activities. Peoples' use of cash in investing activities reflected cash outflows from a $184.2 million net increase in loans held for investment and net cash outflows from held-to-maturity investment securities of $113.7 million, partially offset by net cash inflows from available-for-sale investment securities of $169.8 million and $91.8 million of cash received in the Limestone Merger. The cash used in financing activities was largely driven by (i) a net decrease in non-interest bearing deposits of $169.5 million, (ii) $24.3 million in cash dividends paid and (iii) $16.6 million in payments on long-term borrowings, which uses of cash were largely offset by a $178.4 million net increase in interest-bearing deposits.

Further information regarding the management of Peoples' liquidity position can be found later in this discussion under “Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity.”

For the second quarter of 2023, total investment securities increased compared to the linked quarter, largely due to available-for-sale securities acquired from Limestone in the Limestone Merger. During the first quarter of 2023, Peoples executed the sale of $96.7 million of its lower yielding available-for-sale securities for an after-tax loss of $1.6 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay down overnight borrowings. The realized losses recognized due to these transactions are projected to be earned back within the 2023 fiscal year.

(a)    Includes all loans acquired, and related loan discount recorded as part of acquisition accounting, in 2012 or thereafter. Loans that were acquired and subsequently re-underwritten are reported as originated upon execution of such credit actions (for example, renewals and increases in lines of credit).

The increase in the period-end loan and lease balances were primarily driven by loans acquired in the Limestone Merger totaling $1.1 billion. Excluding the loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, period-end loan and lease balances increased $146.4 million, or 12% annualized, when compared to at March 31, 2023, primarily due to increases of (i) $71.3 million in construction loans, (ii) $25.3 million in commercial and industrial loans, (iii) $23.1 million in leases and (iv) $22.9 million in other commercial real estate loans.

Table of Contents

Excluding the loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, period-end loan and lease balances increased $199.0 million, or 9% annualized, when compared to at December 31, 2023, driven by increases of $80.4 million, $56.6 million, $32.7 million, $24.9 million and $23.8 million in other commercial real estate loans, construction loans, leases, indirect consumer loans and commercial and industrial loans, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $16.3 million in consumer residential real estate loans. Excluding the loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, period-end loan and lease balances increased $330.2 million, or 7% annualized, when compared to at June 30, 2022 primarily due to increases of $101.0 million, $91.3 million, $63.3 million, $58.0 million and $43.9 million in construction loans, indirect consumer loans, leases, commercial and industrial loans and other commercial real estate loans, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $36.0 million in consumer residential real estate loans.

Loan Concentration

Peoples categorizes its commercial loans according to standard industry classifications and monitors for concentrations in a single industry or multiple industries that could be impacted by changes in economic conditions in a similar manner. Peoples' commercial lending activities continue to be spread over a diverse range of businesses from all sectors of the economy, with no single industry comprising over 11% of Peoples' total loan portfolio.

Loans secured by commercial real estate, including commercial construction loans, continued to comprise the largest portion of Peoples' loan portfolio. The following tables provide information regarding the largest concentrations of commercial construction loans and commercial real estate loans within the loan portfolio at June 30, 2023:

Peoples' commercial lending activities continue to focus on lending opportunities within Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Maryland. For all other states, the aggregate outstanding balances of commercial loans in each state were less than 4% of total loans at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The repayment of premium finance loans is secured by the underlying insurance policy prepaid premium, and therefore, has no geographical impact from a repayment perspective. The repayment of leases is secured by the underlying equipment collateral and not real estate, which mitigates geographic risk.

Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP")

In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act created the PPP targeted to provide small businesses with support to cover payroll and certain other specified expenses. Loans made under the PPP are fully guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the "SBA"). The PPP loans also afford borrowers forgiveness up to the principal amount of the PPP covered loan, plus accrued interest, if the loan proceeds are used to retain workers and maintain payroll and/or to make certain mortgage interest, lease and utility payments, and certain other criteria are satisfied. The SBA will reimburse PPP lenders for any amount of a PPP covered loan that is forgiven, and PPP lenders will not be held liable for any representations made by PPP borrowers in connection with their requests for loan forgiveness.

Table of Contents

Peoples is a PPP participating lender, and the PPP loans originated are included in commercial and industrial loans. Peoples also recorded deferred loan origination fees related to the PPP loans, net of deferred loan origination costs, which will be amortized over the life of the respective loans, or until forgiven by the SBA, and will be recognized in net interest income. The following table details Peoples' PPP loan balances and related income:

Allowance for Credit Losses

The amount of the allowance for credit losses at the end of each period represents management's estimate of expected losses from existing loans based upon its quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio. While this process involves allocations being made to specific loans and pools of loans, the entire allowance is available for all losses expected within the loan portfolio.

The following details management's allocation of the allowance for credit losses:

The increase in the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2023 when compared to prior periods was driven by the establishment of an allowance for credit losses for loans acquired in the Limestone Merger that were not considered purchased credit deteriorated.

Net charge-offs during the second quarter of 2023 were 0.09% of average total loans on an annualized basis. The decrease for the second quarter of 2023 when compared to the linked quarter was driven by an increase in recoveries on commercial and industrial loans during the second quarter of 2023, partially offset by higher charge-offs on leases. The decrease in net charge-offs during the second quarter of 2023 versus the prior year second quarter was primarily attributable to an increase in recoveries, partially offset by increases of charge-offs on indirect consumer loans and leases.

Compared to at March 31, 2023, Peoples' NPAs decreased from 0.58% to 0.48% of total assets. Total loans 90+ days past due and accruing increased at June 30, 2023 compared to at March 31, 2023, mostly due to increases in (i) leases, (ii) premium finance and (iii) residential real estate that were 90+ days past due. During the second quarter of 2023, criticized loans increased $21.1 million, while classified loans increased $17.8 million when compared to at March 31, 2023. The increases in the amounts of criticized loans and classified loans compared to at March 31, 2023 were primarily related to loans acquired in the Limestone Merger.

Deposits

(a)The sum of amounts presented is considered total demand deposits.

At June 30, 2023, period-end deposit balances increased $1.2 billion, or 20%, compared to at March 31, 2023, primarily driven by deposits acquired in the Limestone Merger which included $821.3 million of interest-bearing deposits and $261.5 million of non-interest-bearing deposits. Excluding Limestone deposit balances, deposits at June 30, 2023 increased $88.6 million compared to at March 31, 2023, primarily due to increases of $241.4 million in brokered CDs, which are primarily used as a source of funding, and of $139.2 million in retail CDs, partially offset by decreases of $133.9 million, $59.9 million, $50.0 million and $41.1 million in non-interest bearing deposits, savings accounts, governmental deposit accounts, and interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, respectively. The decrease in governmental deposit accounts was due to the seasonality of the balances, which are typically higher in the first quarter and third quarter of each year.

Excluding Limestone deposit balances, period-end deposit balances at June 30, 2023 decreased $52.1 million compared to at June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases of $240.7 million, $128.7 million, $115.3 million, $98.9 million and $73.4 million in non-interest bearing deposits, governmental deposit accounts, savings accounts, interest-bearing demand deposit accounts and money market deposit accounts, respectively. Partially offsetting these decreases in deposit balances, excluding the deposits acquired in the Limestone Merger, were increases of $427.9 million in brokered CDs and of $177.1 million in retail CDs.

As part of its funding strategy, Peoples hedges 90-day brokered CDs with interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps pay a fixed rate of interest while receiving a floating rate component of interest equal to the three-month LIBOR rate through June 30, 2023, after which point three-month LIBOR shall cease publication, and Peoples will pay a fixed rate equal to term SOFR, which offsets the rate on the brokered CDs. As of June 30, 2023, Peoples had twelve effective interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional value of $115.0 million, which were designated as cash flow hedges of overnight brokered CDs and are expected to be extended every 90 days through the maturity dates of the interest rate swaps. Peoples continually evaluates the overall balance sheet position given the interest rate environment.

Total borrowed funds which include overnight borrowings, are mainly a function of loan growth and changes in total deposit balances. Other long-term borrowings include trust preferred securities held for investments and floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures. Total borrowed funds at June 30, 2023 increased compared to at March 31, 2023, due to higher overnight borrowings and an increase in other long-term borrowings assumed in the Limestone Merger. Total short-term borrowings at June 30, 2023 increased when compared to at June 30, 2022 due to there being outstanding FHLB overnight borrowings of $444.0 million at June 30, 2023, while there were no FHLB overnight borrowings at June 30, 2022.

Capital/Stockholders’ Equity

At June 30, 2023, capital levels for both Peoples and Peoples Bank remained substantially higher than the minimum amounts needed to be considered "well capitalized" institutions under applicable banking regulations. These higher capital levels reflect Peoples' desire to maintain a strong capital position. In order to avoid limitations on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation, Peoples must exceed the three minimum required ratios by at least the capital conservation buffer of 2.50%, which applies to the common equity tier 1 ("CET1") ratio, the tier 1 capital ratio and the total risk-based capital ratio. At June 30, 2023, Peoples had a capital conservation buffer of 4.92%.

The following table details Peoples' risk-based capital levels and corresponding ratios:

(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2023			March 31, 2023			December 31, 2022			September 30, 2022			June 30, 2022

Tier 1 leverage ratio	9.64		%	9.02		%	8.92		%	8.64		%	8.38		%

Peoples' risk-risk based capital ratios deteriorated during the second quarter of 2023 when compared to at March 31, 2023 and at December 31, 2022 due to the impact of the intangible assets and the goodwill recognized for the Limestone Merger as well as dividends paid, partially offset by net income during the second quarter of 2023. The common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio at June 30, 2023 decreased compared to at September 30, 2022 and at June 30, 2022 due to the common shares issued in the Limestone Merger. Peoples' other risk-based capital ratios improved compared to at September 30, 2022 and at June 30, 2022 due to higher net income, the effect of which was partially offset by the impact as consideration in the Limestone Merger and dividends paid.

In addition to traditional capital measurements, management uses tangible capital measures to evaluate the adequacy of Peoples' stockholders' equity. Such ratios represent Non-US GAAP financial measures since their calculation removes the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on amounts reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Management believes this information is useful to investors since it facilitates the comparison of Peoples' operating performance, financial condition and trends to peers, especially those without a similar level of intangible assets to that of Peoples. Further, intangible assets generally are difficult to convert into cash, especially during a financial crisis, and could decrease substantially in value should there be deterioration in the overall franchise value. As a result, tangible equity represents a conservative measure of the capacity for Peoples to incur losses but remain solvent.

The following table reconciles the calculation of these Non-US GAAP financial measures to amounts reported in Peoples' Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

Tangible equity to tangible assets	7.00		%	7.08		%	6.67		%	6.47		%	6.60		%

Tangible book value per common share decreased to $16.56 at June 30, 2023, compared to $17.37 at March 31, 2023. The change in tangible book value per common share was due to the 6.8 million common shares issued as consideration in the Limestone Merger. Tangible book value per common share at June 30, 2023 increased compared to at June 30, 2022 primarily due to net income over the last twelve months, which was partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss as well as the impact of the common shares issued in the Limestone Merger mentioned above.

Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity

While Peoples is exposed to various business risks, the risks relating to interest rate sensitivity and liquidity are major risks that can materially impact future results of operations and financial condition due to their complexity and dynamic nature. The objective of Peoples' asset-liability management function is to measure and manage these risks in order to optimize net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity and safety. This objective requires Peoples to focus on interest rate risk exposure and adequate liquidity through its management of the mix of assets and liabilities, their related cash flows and the rates earned and paid on those assets and liabilities. Ultimately, the asset-liability management function is intended to guide management in the acquisition and disposition of earning assets and selection of appropriate funding sources.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk ("IRR") is one of the most significant risks arising in the normal course of business of financial services companies like Peoples. IRR is the potential for economic loss due to future interest rate changes that can impact the earnings stream, as well as market values, of financial assets and financial liabilities. Peoples' exposure to IRR is due primarily to differences in the maturity or repricing of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, other factors, such as prepayments of loans and investment securities, or early withdrawal of deposits, can affect Peoples' exposure to IRR and increase interest costs or reduce revenue streams.

Peoples has assigned overall management of IRR to its Asset-Liability Committee (the “ALCO”), which has established an IRR management policy that sets minimum requirements and guidelines for monitoring and managing the level of IRR. In light of recent bank failures, Peoples revisited the model assumptions, and determined the methods used by the ALCO to assess IRR remain appropriate and are largely unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K.

This table uses a standard, parallel shock analysis for assessing the IRR to net interest income and the economic value of equity. A parallel shock assumes all points on the yield curve (one year, two year, three year, etc.) are directionally changed by the same degree. Management regularly assesses the impact of both increasing and decreasing interest rates. The table above shows the impact of upward and downward parallel shocks of 100, 200 and 300 basis points.

Estimated changes in net interest income and the economic value of equity are partially driven by assumptions regarding the rate at which non-maturity deposits will reprice given a move in short-term interest rates, as well as assumptions regarding prepayment speeds on mortgage-backed securities. These and other modeling assumptions are monitored closely by Peoples on an ongoing basis.

While parallel interest rate shock scenarios are useful in assessing the level of IRR inherent in the balance sheet, interest rates typically move in a nonparallel manner with differences in the timing, direction and magnitude of changes in short-term and long-term interest rates. Thus, any impact that might occur as a result of the Federal Reserve Board increasing short-term interest rates in the future could be offset by an inverse movement in long-term interest rates, and vice versa. For this reason, Peoples considers other interest rate scenarios in addition to analyzing the impact of parallel yield curve shifts. These include various flattening and steepening scenarios in which short-term and long-term interest rates move in different directions with varying magnitude. Peoples believes these scenarios to be more reflective of how interest rates change versus the severe parallel rate shocks described above. Given the shape of market yield curves at June 30, 2023, consideration of the bear steepener and bear flattener scenarios provide insights which were not captured by parallel shifts.

The bear steepener scenario highlights the risk to net interest income and economic value of equity when short-term interest rates remain constant while long-term interest rates rise. In such a scenario, Peoples' deposit and borrowing costs, which are generally correlated with short-term interest rates, remain constant, while asset yields, which are correlated with long-term interest rates, rise. At June 30, 2023, the bear steepener scenario produced an increase in net interest income of 0.10% and a decline in the economic value of equity of 1.70%.

The bear flattener scenario highlights the risk to net interest income and the economic value of equity when short-term rates rise while long-term rates remain constant. In such a scenario, Peoples' variable rate asset yields along with deposit and short-term borrowing costs, which are correlated with short-term rates, increase, while long-term asset yields and long-term borrowing costs, which are more correlated with long-term rates, remain constant. Increased deposit and funding costs would be more than offset by increased variable rate asset yields; resulting in an increased amount of net interest income and a higher net interest margin. At June 30, 2023, the bear flattener scenario produced a decline of 1.10% to net interest income and a decline in the economic value of equity of 1.60%.

As of June 30, 2023, the yield curve was inverted. A notable non-parallel shift scenario would be a continued increase in short-term interest rates relative to long-term interest rates in which the yield curve would further invert. As of June 30, 2023, this inversion scenario would have resulted in a decline of 1.1008% to net interest income and a decrease in the economic value of equity of 1.60%. Peoples was within its policy limitations for this alternative scenario as of June 30, 2023, which set the maximum allowable downside exposure as 5.0% of net interest income and 10.0% of the economic value of equity.

Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. As of June 30, 2023, Peoples had entered into twelve interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $115.0 million. Additional information regarding Peoples’ interest rate swaps can be found in “Note 10 Derivative Financial Instruments” of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

At June 30, 2023, Peoples' Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet was positioned to benefit from rising interest rates in terms of the potential impact on net interest income. The table above illustrates this point as changes to net interest income increase in

the rising interest rate scenarios. While the heavy concentration of floating rate loans remains the largest contributor to the level of asset sensitivity, the decrease in economic value of equity asset sensitivity, as measured, from December 31, 2022 was largely attributable to increased effective duration within the investment securities portfolio.

Liquidity

In addition to IRR management, another major objective of the ALCO is to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity. In light of recent bank failures, Peoples revisited the model assumptions, and determined the methods used by the ALCO to monitor and evaluate the adequacy of Peoples Bank's liquidity position remain appropriate and are largely unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K.

At June 30, 2023, Peoples Bank had liquid assets of $264 million, which represented 2.7% of total assets and unfunded loan commitments. Peoples also had an additional $237 million of unpledged investment securities not included in the measurement of liquid assets.

Management believes the current mix of short-term liquidity sources, loan and security portfolio cash flows, and availability of other funding sources will allow Peoples to meet anticipated cash obligations, as well as special needs and off-balance sheet commitments.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities and Contractual Obligations

In the normal course of business, Peoples is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk necessary to meet the financing needs of Peoples' customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement Peoples has in these financial instruments.

Loan Commitments and Standby Letters of Credit

Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of Peoples' customers. Standby letters of credit are instruments issued by Peoples Bank guaranteeing the beneficiary payment by Peoples Bank in the event of default by Peoples Bank's customer in the performance of an obligation or service. Historically, most loan commitments and standby letters of credit expire unused. Peoples Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counter-party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Peoples Bank uses the same underwriting standards in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

Peoples Bank routinely engages in activities that involve, to varying degrees, elements of risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These activities are part of Peoples Bank's normal course of business and include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments, interest rate contracts and commitments to make additional capital contributions in low-income housing tax credit investments. Traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments continue to represent the most significant off-balance sheet exposure.

The following table details the total contractual amount of loan commitments and standby letters of credit:

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Peoples' management, with the participation of Peoples' President and Chief Executive Officer and Peoples’ Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Peoples’ disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of June 30, 2023.  Based upon that evaluation, Peoples’ President and Chief Executive Officer and Peoples’ Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have concluded that:

(a)information required to be disclosed by Peoples in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports Peoples files or submits under the Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated to Peoples’ management, including its President and Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;

(b)information required to be disclosed by Peoples in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports Peoples files or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and

(c)Peoples’ disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in Peoples' internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during Peoples' fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Peoples’ internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Peoples or one of its subsidiaries from time to time is engaged in various litigation matters including the defense of claims of improper loan or deposit practices or lending violations. In addition, in the ordinary course of their respective businesses or operations, Peoples or one of its subsidiaries may be named as a plaintiff, a defendant, or a party to a legal proceeding or any of their respective properties may be subject to various pending and threatened legal proceedings and various actual and potential claims. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, Peoples cannot state what the eventual outcome of any such matters will be; however, based on management's current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, Peoples' management believes that damages, if any, and other amounts related to pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of Peoples.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The disclosure below supplements the risk factors previously disclosed under “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of Part I of Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K. These risk factors are not the only risks Peoples faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management or that management currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect Peoples’ business, financial condition and/or operating results. In the first six months of 2023, management identified the following additional risk factors:

Business Operations Risks

•Peoples could experience an unexpected inability to obtain needed liquidity which could adversely affect our business, profitability, and viability as a going concern.

Liquidity measures the ability to meet current and future cash flow needs as they become due. The liquidity of a financial institution reflects its ability to meet loan requests, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits, and to take advantage of interest rate market opportunities and is essential to a financial institution’s business. The ability of a financial institution to meet its current financial obligations is a function of its balance sheet structure, its ability to liquidate assets, and its access to alternative sources of funds. The bank failures in 2023 exemplify the potential serious results of the unexpected inability of insured depository institutions to obtain needed liquidity to satisfy deposit withdrawal requests, including how quickly such requests can accelerate once uninsured depositors lose confidence in an institution's ability to satisfy its obligations to depositors. Peoples seeks to ensure its funding needs

are met by maintaining a level of liquidity through asset and liability management. If Peoples becomes unable to obtain funds when needed, it could have a material adverse effect on Peoples' business, financial condition, and results of operations.

General Risks

•The impact of larger or similar-sized financial institutions encountering problems may adversely affect Peoples' business, earnings and financial condition.

Peoples is exposed to the risk that when a peer financial institution experiences financial difficulties, there could be an adverse impact on the regional banking industry and the business environment in which Peoples operates. The recent bank failures of Silicon Valley Bank in California, Signature Bank in New York, and First Republic Bank in California during the first and second quarters of 2023 have caused a degree of panic and uncertainty in the investor community and among bank customers generally. While Peoples does not believe that the circumstances of these three banks' failures are indicators of broader issues with the banking system, the failures may reduce customer confidence, affect sources of funding and liquidity, increase regulatory requirements and costs, adversely affect financial markets and/or have a negative reputational ramification for the banking industry, including Peoples. Peoples will continue to monitor the ongoing events concerning these three banks as well as any future potential bank failures and volatility within the banking industry generally, together with any responsive measures taken by the banking regulators to mitigate or manage potential turmoil in the banking industry.

•Peoples may experience one or more security breaches through one or more technological systems.

Information security risks have increased due to the sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists and other external parties and the use of online, telephone, and mobile banking channels by clients. Any compromise to Peoples' information security could impair Peoples' reputation and deter Peoples' clients from using banking services. Information security breaches can also disrupt the operation of information systems on which Peoples and its customers depend, adversely affecting business operations. Such events can result in costly remediation measures and litigation or governmental investigation and responding to security breaches can place unanticipated demands on the time and attention of management. Peoples relies on security systems to provide the protection and authentication necessary to secure transmission of data against damage by theft, fire, power loss, telecommunications failure or similar catastrophic event, as well as from security breaches, ransomware, denial of service attacks, viruses, worms, and other disruptive problems caused by hackers. Computer break-ins, phishing and other disruptions of customer or vendor systems could also jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted through Peoples' computer systems and network infrastructure.

Peoples associates also confront the risk of being compromised by emails sent by perpetrators posing as company executives or vendors in order to dupe Peoples' personnel into sending large sums of money to accounts controlled by the perpetrators. Peoples requires all employees to complete annual information security awareness training to increase their awareness of these risks and to engage them in mitigation efforts. If these precautions are not sufficient to protect Peoples' systems from data breaches or compromises, Peoples' reputation and business could be adversely affected.

Peoples depends on the services of a variety of third-party vendors to meet data processing and communication needs, and Peoples has contracted with third parties to run their proprietary software on Peoples' behalf. While Peoples performs reviews of security controls instituted by the vendor in accordance with industry standards and institutes Peoples' own internal security controls, Peoples relies on continued maintenance of the controls by the outside party to safeguard customer data.

Additionally, Peoples issues debit cards which are susceptible to compromise at the point of sale via the physical terminal through which transactions are processed and by other means of hacking. The security and integrity of these transactions are dependent upon the retailers’ vigilance and willingness to invest in technology and upgrades. Issuing debit cards to Peoples' clients exposes it to potential losses which, in the event of a data breach at one or more major retailers may adversely affect Peoples' business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Exhibit 4.2

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON SHARES

OF

PEOPLES BANCORP INC.

Peoples Bancorp Inc. (“Peoples,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) has one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): our common shares, without par value (our “common shares”).

The following summary describes the material features of our common shares and our preferred shares, without par value (our “preferred shares”). This summary does not describe every aspect of our common shares or of our preferred shares and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of our amended articles of incorporation and the amendments thereto (collectively, our “amended articles”) and our code of regulations and the amendments thereto (collectively, our “regulations”), each of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to this Report on Form 10-Q, and the applicable provisions of Ohio law.

Authorized Capital Stock

Under our amended articles, we have the authority to issue 50,000,000 common shares and 50,000 preferred shares.

Common Shares

All of our outstanding common shares are fully paid and non-assessable and our amended articles contain no restrictions on the alienability of our common shares. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common shares are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of Peoples preferred shares that may be issued in the future.

Pre-emptive Rights

Our amended articles provide that the holders of our common shares do not have pre-emptive rights.

Liquidation Rights

Each common share entitles the holder thereof to share ratably in our net assets legally available for distribution to shareholders in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after (i) payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to our creditors or provision for such payment and (ii) provision for the distribution of any preferential amounts to the holders of any preferred shares that may be issued in the future.

Following the merger of NB&T Financial Group, Inc. (“NB&T Financial”) with and into Peoples, we entered into a First Supplemental Indenture with Wilmington Trust Company, dated June 5, 2015, and made to be effective as of 6:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on March 6, 2015, pursuant to which we assumed the obligations of NB&T Financial under the Indenture between NB&T Financial, as issuer, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee, dated as of June 25, 2007 (the “2007 Indenture”). We also succeeded to and were substituted for NB&T Financial with the same effect as if we had originally been named in the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of NB&T Statutory Trust III, dated as of June 25, 2007, between NB&T Financial, as sponsor, and the parties named therein, and the Guarantee Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2007, between NB&T Financial, as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee for the holders of the capital securities of NB&T Statutory Trust III (the “2007 Guarantee Agreement”). Consequently, if we were to elect to defer payments of interest on our fixed/floating rate junior subordinated debt securities due 2037 (the “2007 Junior Subordinated Debt Securities”) related to the capital securities issued by NB&T Statutory Trust III or an event of default were to occur under the 2007 Indenture or the related 2007 Guarantee Agreement, we would be prohibited from making any payment to holders of our common shares in the event of our liquidation.

In conjunction with the merger of Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. (“Premier”) with and into Peoples, we entered into a Second Supplemental Indenture with Wilmington Trust Company and Premier, dated as of September 17, 2021, pursuant to which we assumed the obligations of Premier under the Indenture originally between First National Bankshares Corporation, as issuer, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee, dated as of February 26, 2004, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 15, 2016, among Wilmington Trust Company, Premier (as successor to First National Bankshares Corporation) and First National Bankshares Corporation (the “2004 Indenture”). We also succeeded to and were substituted for Premier with the same effect as if we had originally been named in the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of FNB Capital Trust One, dated as of February 26, 2004, between Premier (as successor to First National Bankshares Corporation), as sponsor, and the parties named therein, and the Guarantee Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2004, between Premier (as successor to First National Bankshares Corporation), as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee for the holders of the capital securities of FNB Capital Trust One (the “2004 Guarantee Agreement”). Consequently, if

we were to elect to defer payments of interest on our floating rate junior subordinated debt securities due 2034 (the “2004 Junior Subordinated Debt Securities”) related to the capital securities issued by FNB Capital Trust One or an event of default were to occur under the 2004 Indenture or the related 2004 Guarantee Agreement, we would be prohibited from making any payment to holders of our common shares in the event of our liquidation.

In conjunction with the merger of Limestone Bancorp, Inc. (“Limestone”) with and into Peoples, we entered into a Second Supplemental Indenture with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor to U.S. Bank National Association) and Limestone, formerly known as Porter Bancorp, Inc. (“Porter”), pursuant to which we assumed the obligations of Limestone (formerly known as Porter) under the Indenture originally between Ascencia Bancorp, Inc. (“Ascencia”), as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, dated as of February 13, 2004, as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 31, 2005, among U.S. Bank National Association and Porter, as successor (the “Ascencia I Indenture”). We also succeeded and were substituted for Limestone with the same effect as if we had originally been named in the Declaration of Trust, dated as of February 9, 2004, between Limestone (formerly known as Porter and as successor to Ascencia), as depositor, and the parties named therein, and the Guarantee Agreement, dated February 13, 2004, between Limestone (formerly known as Porter and as successor to Ascencia), as guarantor, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee for the capital securities issued by Ascencia Statutory Trust I (the “Ascencia I Guarantee Agreement”). Consequently, if we were to elect to defer payments of interest on our floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures due 2034 (the “Ascencia I Junior Subordinated Debt Securities”) related to the capital securities issued by Ascencia Statutory Trust I or an event of default were to occur under the Ascencia I Indenture or the related Ascencia I Guarantee Agreement, we would be prohibited from making any payment to holders of our common shares in the event of our liquidation.

In conjunction with the merger of Limestone with and into Peoples, we entered a First Supplemental Indenture with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor to U.S. Bank National Association) and Limestone (formerly known as Porter), pursuant to which we assumed the obligations of Limestone (formerly known as Porter) under the Indenture originally between Porter, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, dated as of February 13, 2004 (the “Porter II Indenture”). We also succeeded and were substituted for Limestone with the same effect as if we had originally been named in the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as of February 13, 2004, between Limestone (formerly known as Porter), as sponsor, and the parties named therein, and the Guarantee Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2004, between Limestone (formerly known as Porter), as guarantor, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee for the capital securities issued by Porter Statutory Trust II (the “Porter II Guarantee Agreement”). Consequently, if we were to elect to defer payments of interest on our floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures due 2034 (the “Porter II Junior Subordinated Debt Securities”) related to the capital securities issued by Porter Statutory Trust II or an event of default were to occur under the Porter II Indenture or the relating Porter II Guarantee Agreement, we would be prohibited from making any payment to holders of our common shares in the event of our liquidation.

In conjunction with the merger of Limestone with and into Peoples, we entered a First Supplemental Indenture with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor to U.S. Bank National Association) and Limestone (formerly known as Porter), pursuant to which we assumed the obligations of Limestone (formerly known as Porter) under the Indenture originally between Porter, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, dated as of April 15, 2004 (the “Porter III Indenture”). We also succeeded and were substituted for Limestone with the same effect as if we had originally been named in the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as of April 15, 2004, between Limestone (formerly known as Porter), as sponsor, and the parties named therein, and the Guarantee Agreement, dated as of April 15, 2004, between Limestone (formerly known as Porter), as guarantor, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee for the capital securities issued by Porter Statutory Trust III (the “Porter III Guarantee Agreement”). Consequently, if we were to elect to defer payments of interest on our floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures due 2034 (the “Porter III Junior Subordinated Debt Securities”) related to the capital securities issued by Porter Statutory Trust III or an event of default were to occur under the Porter III Indenture or the relating Porter III Guarantee Agreement, we would be prohibited from making any payment to holders of our common shares in the event of our liquidation.

In conjunction with the merger of Limestone with and into Peoples, we entered into a First Supplemental Indenture with Wilmington Trust, National Association (successor to Wilmington Trust Company) and Limestone, dated as of April 30, 2023, pursuant to which we assumed the obligations of Limestone (formerly known as Porter) originally between Porter, as issuer, and Wilmington Trust Company as trustee, dated as of December 14, 2006 (the “Porter IV Indenture”). We also succeeded to and were substituted for Limestone (formerly known as Porter), with the same effect as if we had originally been named in the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of Porter Statutory Trust IV, dated as of December 14, 2006, between Limestone (formerly known as Porter), as sponsor, and the parties named therein, and the Guarantee Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2006, between Limestone (formerly known as Porter), as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust, National Association (successor to Wilmington Trust Company), as trustee for the holders of the capital securities of issued by Porter Statutory Trust IV (the “Porter IV Guarantee Agreement”). Consequently, if we were to elect to defer payments of interest on our floating rate

junior subordinated debt securities due 2037 (the “Porter IV Junior Subordinated Debt Securities”) related to the capital securities issued by Porter Statutory Trust IV, or an event of default were to occur under the Porter IV Indenture or the related Porter IV Guarantee Agreement, we would be prohibited from making any payment to holders of our common shares in the event of our liquidation.

Subscription, Preference, Conversion, Exchange and Redemption Rights

The holders of our common shares do not have subscription, preference, conversion or exchange rights, and there are no mandatory redemption provisions applicable to our common shares. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our common shares are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights, preferences and privileges of holders of any preferred shares that may be issued in the future.

If (i) we were to elect to defer payments of interest on (a) the 2004 Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (b) 2007 Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (c) the Ascencia I Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (d) the Porter II Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (e) the Porter III Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, or (f) the Porter IV Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, or (ii) an event of default were to occur under (a) the 2004 Indenture or the related 2004 Guarantee Agreement, (b) the 2007 Indenture or the related 2007 Guarantee Agreement, (c) the Ascencia I Indenture or the related Ascencia I Guarantee Agreement, (d) the Porter II Indenture or related Porter II Guarantee Agreement, (e) the Porter III Indenture or related Porter III Guarantee Agreement, or (f) the Porter IV Indenture or related Porter IV Guarantee Agreement, we would be prohibited from redeeming, repurchasing or otherwise acquiring any of our common shares. In addition, under the Loan Agreement, made and entered into as of April 3, 2019, between Peoples and U.S. Bank National Association (as amended, the “U.S. Bank Loan Agreement”), we would be prohibited from repurchasing any of our common shares if a defined event of default under the U.S. Bank Loan Agreement has occurred and is continuing or is created by the common share repurchase.

Dividends

As an Ohio corporation, we may, in the discretion of our Board of Directors, generally pay dividends to our shareholders out of surplus, however created, but must notify our shareholders if a dividend is paid out of capital surplus. Holders of our common shares are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors from funds legally available therefor, subject to, and which may be adversely affected by, the rights, preferences and privileges of holders of any preferred shares that may be issued in the future.

Our ability to obtain funds for the payment of dividends and for other cash requirements largely depends on the amount of dividends that may be declared and paid by our subsidiaries, including our subsidiary, Peoples Bank, an Ohio state-chartered bank (“Peoples Bank”). Thus, as a practical matter, any restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends will act as restrictions on the amount of funds available for payment of dividends by us.

Current banking regulations impose restrictions on Peoples Bank’s ability to pay dividends to Peoples. These restrictions include a limit on the amount of dividends that may be paid in a given year without prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) and a prohibition on paying dividends that would cause Peoples Bank to fail to satisfy all of the capital adequacy regulations and guidelines imposed by the Federal Reserve Board, including having a capital conservation buffer that is greater than 2.5%. Ohio law also limits the amount of dividends that may be paid in any given year without prior approval of the Ohio Superintendent of Financial Institutions. Peoples Bank may not declare or pay a dividend if the total of all dividends declared during the calendar year, including the proposed dividend, exceeds the sum of Peoples Bank’s net income during the current calendar year and the retained net income of the prior two calendar years, unless the dividend has been approved by the Ohio Superintendent of Financial Institutions and the Federal Reserve Board. Payments of dividends by Peoples Bank may be restricted at any time at the discretion of Peoples Bank’s governing regulatory authorities, if such regulatory authorities deem such dividends to constitute an unsafe and/or an unsound banking practice or if necessary to maintain adequate capital.

We are also subject to policies issued by the Federal Reserve Board that may, in certain circumstances, limit our ability to pay dividends. These policies require, among other things, that we satisfy the capital adequacy regulations applicable to bank holding companies that qualify as financial holding companies, including having a capital conservation buffer that is greater than 2.5%. The Federal Reserve Board may also determine, under certain circumstances relating to our financial condition, that the payment of dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice and prohibit the payment thereof. Specifically, the Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement providing that, as a matter of prudent banking, a financial holding company or other bank holding company should not maintain a rate of cash dividends unless (i) its net income available to common shareholders over the past year has been sufficient to fully fund the dividends and (ii) the prospective rate of earnings retention appears to be consistent with the financial holding company’s or other bank holding company’s capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board expects us to serve as a source of strength to Peoples Bank, which may require us to retain capital for further investments in Peoples Bank, rather than use those funds for dividends for our shareholders.

In addition, our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our common shares may be limited, under certain circumstances, pursuant to (i) the terms of the 2004 Indenture and the 2004 Guarantee Agreement related to our 2004 Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (ii) the terms of the 2007 Indenture and the 2007 Guarantee Agreement related to our 2007 Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (iii) the terms of the Ascencia I Indenture and the Ascencia I Guarantee Agreement related to our Ascencia I Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (iv) the terms of the Porter II Indenture and the Porter II Guarantee Agreement related to our Porter II Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (v) the terms of the Porter III Indenture and the Porter III Guarantee Agreement related to our Porter III Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (vi) the terms of the Porter IV Indenture and the Porter III Guarantee Agreement related to our Porter IV Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, and (vii) the covenants in the U.S. Bank Loan Agreement. Specifically, if (i) we were to elect to defer payments of interest on either (a) our 2004 Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (b) our 2007 Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (c) our Ascencia I Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (d) our Porter II Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, (e) our Porter III Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, or (f) our Porter IV Junior Subordinated Debt Securities, or (ii) an event of default were to occur under (a) the 2004 Indenture or the related 2004 Guarantee Agreement, (b) the 2007 Indenture or the related 2007 Guarantee Agreement, (c) the Ascencia I Indenture or the related Ascencia I Guarantee Agreement, (d) the Porter II Indenture or the related Porter II Guarantee Agreement, (e) the Porter III Indenture or the related Porter III Guarantee Agreement, or (f) the Porter IV Indenture or the related Porter IV Guarantee Agreement, we would be prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends on our common shares. Under the U.S. Bank Loan Agreement, we would be prohibited from declaring and paying dividends on our common shares, if a defined event of default under the U.S. Bank Loan Agreement has occurred and is continuing or is created by the dividend payment.

Number and Term of Directors

Our regulations provide for our Board of Directors to consist of not less than nine and not more than 15 directors. Each director is elected to our Board of Directors for a one-year term expiring at the next annual meeting of the Peoples shareholders and until such director’s successor is duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier resignation, removal from office or death.

Removal of Directors

Under our regulations, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed from office only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares entitling them to exercise not less than 75% of the voting power of Peoples entitled to elect directors in the place of those to be removed.

Nomination of Directors

Shareholders who wish to nominate an individual for election as a director at an annual meeting of our shareholders must comply with the provisions of our regulations regarding shareholder nominations. Only those shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors may submit a nominee for election. Shareholder nominations must be made in writing and delivered or mailed by first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, to our Secretary not less than 14 days or more than 50 days prior to any meeting of shareholders called for the election of directors. However, if less than 21 days’ notice of the meeting is given to the shareholders, the nomination must be delivered or mailed to our Secretary not later than the close of business on the seventh day following the day on which the notice of the meeting was mailed to the shareholders. Each nomination must contain the following information to the extent known by the nominating shareholder:

•the name, age, business address and residence address of each proposed nominee;

•the principal occupation or employment of each proposed nominee;

•the number of shares of capital stock of Peoples beneficially owned by each proposed nominee and by the nominating shareholder; and

•any other information required to be disclosed with respect to a nominee for election as a director under the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Each nomination must be accompanied by the written consent of the proposed nominee to serve as a director if elected. Nominations not made in accordance with the above requirements and our regulations will not be considered.

Special Meetings of Shareholders

Pursuant to our regulations, any of the following persons may call a special meeting of shareholders: (i) Peoples’ Chairman of the Board; (ii) Peoples’ President or, in the case of the absence, death or disability of Peoples’

President, the Vice President of Peoples authorized to exercise the authority of the President; (iii) Peoples’ Secretary; (iv) the Peoples directors by action at a meeting or a majority of the Peoples directors acting without a meeting; or (v) the holders of at least a majority of all shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting.

Voting Rights

Each holder of common shares has the right to cast one vote for each common share owned on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. No holder of common shares is entitled to the right of cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Our amended articles contain special voting requirements that may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects. Specifically, pursuant to Article Seventh of our amended articles, if any three members of our Board of Directors affirmatively votes against any of the following matters, the affirmative vote of the holders of shares entitling them to exercise not less than 75% of the voting power of Peoples entitled to vote thereon will be required to adopt:

•a proposed amendment to our amended articles;

•proposed new regulations or an alteration, amendment or repeal of our regulations;

•an agreement of merger or consolidation providing for the merger or consolidation of Peoples with or into one or more other corporations;

•a proposed combination or majority share acquisition involving the issuance of shares of Peoples and requiring shareholder approval;

•a proposal to sell, lease, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the property and assets of Peoples;

•a proposed dissolution of Peoples; or

•a proposal to fix or change the number of directors by action of the Peoples shareholders.

The written objection of a director to any such matter submitted to the President or the Secretary of Peoples not less than three days before the meeting of the shareholders at which any such matter is to be considered will be deemed to be an affirmative vote by such director against such matter.

Ohio Anti-Takeover Statutes

Certain provisions of the Ohio General Corporation Law make a change in control of an Ohio corporation more difficult, even if desired by holders of a majority of the corporation’s shares. Provided below is a summary of the Ohio anti-takeover statutes.

Ohio Control Share Acquisition Statute

Section 1701.831 of the Ohio Revised Code, known as the “Ohio Control Share Acquisition Statute,” provides that specified notice and informational filings and special shareholder meeting and voting procedures must occur before consummation of a proposed “control share acquisition.” A control share acquisition is defined as any acquisition of shares of an “issuing public corporation” (which Peoples meets by definition) that would entitle the acquirer, directly or indirectly, alone or with others, to exercise or direct the voting power of the issuing public corporation in the election of directors within any of the following ranges:

•one-fifth or more, but less than one-third, of the voting power;

•one-third or more, but less than a majority, of the voting power; or

•a majority or more of the voting power.

Assuming compliance with the notice and informational filing requirements prescribed by the Ohio Control Share Acquisition Statute, the proposed control share acquisition may take place only if, at a duly convened special meeting of shareholders, the acquisition is approved by both:

•a majority of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors represented in person or by proxy at the meeting; and

•a majority of the voting power at the meeting exercised by shareholders, excluding: (i) the acquiring shareholder; (ii) officers of the corporation elected or appointed by the directors of the corporation; (iii) employees of the corporation who are also directors of the corporation; and (iv) persons who acquire specified amounts of shares after the first public disclosure of the proposed control share acquisition.

An Ohio corporation may opt out of the provisions of the Ohio Control Share Acquisition Statute by adopting an appropriate amendment to its articles of incorporation or regulations. We have not amended our amended articles or our regulations to opt out of the provisions of the Ohio Control Share Acquisition Statute.

Ohio Merger Moratorium Statute

Chapter 1704 of the Ohio Revised Code, known as the “Ohio Merger Moratorium Statute,” prohibits specified business combinations and transactions between an issuing public corporation (which Peoples meets by definition) and a beneficial owner of shares representing 10% or more of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors (an “interested shareholder”) for at least three years after the interested shareholder became such, unless the board of directors of the issuing public corporation approves either (i) the transaction or (ii) the acquisition of the corporation’s shares that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder, in each case before the interested shareholder became such.

For three years after a person becomes an interested shareholder, the following transactions between the corporation and the interested shareholder (or persons related to the interested shareholder) are prohibited:

•the purchase, lease, sale, distribution, dividend, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of an interest in assets meeting thresholds specified in the statute;

•mergers, consolidations, combinations or majority share acquisitions;

•a voluntary dissolution or liquidation;

•the issuance or transfer of shares or any rights to acquire shares having an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 5% of the aggregate fair market value of the corporation’s outstanding shares;

•specified transactions that increase the interested shareholder’s proportionate ownership of shares of the corporation; and

•the receipt of any other benefit that is not shared proportionately by all shareholders.

After the three-year period, transactions between the corporation and the interested shareholder are permitted if:

•the transaction is approved by the holders of shares with at least two-thirds of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors (or any different proportion specified in the corporation’s articles of incorporation), including at least a majority of the outstanding shares after excluding shares controlled by the interested shareholder; or

•the business combination results in shareholders, other than the interested shareholder, receiving a “fair market value” for their shares determined by the method described in the statute.

An Ohio corporation may opt out of the provisions of the Ohio Merger Moratorium Statute by adopting an appropriate amendment to its articles of incorporation. We have not amended our amended articles to opt out of the provisions of the Ohio Merger Moratorium Statute.

Control Bid Statute

Ohio has also enacted Ohio Revised Code Section 1707.043 (the “Control Bid Statute”), which provides that a person who announces a proposal, or publicly discloses the intention or possibility of making a proposal, to acquire, directly or indirectly, alone or with others, control of an Ohio corporation must disgorge profits realized by that person upon the sale of any equity securities of such corporation within 18 months of the announcement.

An Ohio corporation may opt out of the provisions of the Control Bid Statute by adopting an appropriate amendment to its articles of incorporation or regulations. We have not amended our amended articles or our regulations to opt out of the provisions of the Control Bid Statute.

Section 1701.59 of the Ohio Revised Code

Section 1701.59 of the Ohio Revised Code provides that, in determining what a director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation, such director may consider, in addition to the interests of the corporation’s shareholders, any of the interests of the corporation’s employees, suppliers, creditors and customers, the economy of the State of Ohio and the United States, community and societal considerations and the long-term as well as the short-term interests of the corporation and its shareholders, including the possibility that these interests may be best served by the continued independence of the corporation.

FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED

2006 EQUITY PLAN

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Award Agreement

(for Executives)

    This Performance-Based Restricted Stock AwardAgreement (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of ________(the “Grant Date”) by and between Peoples Bancorp Inc. (the “Company”)and __________(the “Participant”). Capitalized terms not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in the Plan (as defined below).

Section 1    Grant of Restricted Performance Stock

The Company hereby grants to the Participant an award of _________(____) shares of restricted Company Stock (the “Restricted Performance Stock”), subject to the terms and conditions described in the Peoples Bancorp Inc. Fourth Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Plan (the “Plan”) and this Agreement.

Section 2    Restrictions on Vesting and Transfer

(A)    Vesting. Subject to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, and the provisions of the Plan (including Article XI thereof) and this Agreement, the Restricted Performance Stock shall vest in full on the ______ (__) anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Vesting Date”) provided the Company has achieved the “Annual Performance Goals” detailed below for each of the fiscal years which ends during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the Vesting Date (each such fiscal year constitutes a “Performance Period”).

Annual Performance Goals

•The Company has net income greater than zero.

•The Company maintains a “well-capitalized” status as determined in accordance with applicable regulatory standards.

In the event that the Company does not achieve the Annual Performance Goals with respect to one or more Performance Periods, the portion of the Restricted Performance Stock which shall vest on the Vesting Date shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Stock subject to the Restricted Performance Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Performance Periods with respect to which the Company achieved the Annual Performance Goals and the denominator of which is the number of Performance Periods during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the Vesting Date.

(B)    Transfer Restrictions. Until the Restricted Performance Stock vests as described herein, the Restricted Performance Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated. Except as otherwise provided herein, Restricted Performance Stock that vests as described in Section 2(A), less any shares of Company Stock withheld for the payment of taxes, shall be or become transferable as follows:

(i)Fifty percent (50%) of the net vested Restricted Performance Stock shall be immediately transferable; and

1

(ii)Fifty percent (50%) of the net Restricted Performance Stock shall become transferable upon the Participant’s Termination.

(C)    Effect of Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 2(A) and 2(B) of this Agreement:

(i)Death. If the Participant dies prior to the Vesting Date, a portion of the Restricted Performance Stock, determined as described below, shall become fully vested and transferable on the date of death and the remaining unvested portion of the Restricted Performance Stock shall be forfeited immediately on the date of death:

(I)    If the Participant dies prior to the end of the initial Performance Period, none of the Restricted Performance Stock shall vest.

(II)    If the Participant dies prior to the end of any Performance Period after the initial Performance Period and the Company has achieved the Annual Performance Goals with respect to each Performance Period completed prior to the Participant’s death, the portion of the Restricted Performance Stock which shall vest shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Stock subject to the Restricted Performance Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months elapsed during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date of the Participant’s death, and the denominator of which is the number of whole months in the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the Vesting Date.

(III)    If the Participant dies prior to the end of any Performance Period after the initial Performance Period and the Company has not achieved the Annual Performance Goals with respect to one or more of the Performance Periods completed prior to the Participant’s death, the portion of the Restricted Performance Stock which shall vest shall be determined by: multiplying (1) the number of shares of Company Stock subject to the Restricted Performance Stock by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is a number equal to (a) the number of whole months elapsed during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the date of the Participant’s death, less (b) a number equal to the product of (i) number of Performance Periods completed since the Grant Date and prior to the Participant’s death for which the Performance Goals were not achieved, multiplied by (ii) 12, and the denominator of which is the number of whole months in the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the Vesting Date.

2

(ii)Disability or Retirement. If the Participant Terminates due to Disability or Retirement prior to the Vesting Date, the Restricted Performance Stock shall become vested and transferable at the time and subject to the conditions specified in Section 2(A). For the purpose of this Award Agreement, Retirement means a Termination by a Participant other than due to death or Disability on or after attaining 62 years of age and with at least 5 years of service with the Company or any Subsidiary.

(iii)    Terminations for Cause or Any Reason Other than Death, Disability or Retirement. If the Participant is Terminated for Cause or Terminates for any reason other than due to death, Disability or Retirement prior to the Vesting Date, all of the unvested Restricted Performance Stock shall be forfeited immediately on the Termination date.

(D)    Delivery of Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Restricted Performance Stock becomes transferable, the Company shall deliver to the Participant a stock certificate for, or other appropriate documentation evidencing, the number of shares of Company Stock with respect to which the restrictions on transferability have lapsed.

Section 3    Rights of the Participant Before Vesting

Before the Restricted Performance Stock vests, (A) the Participant may exercise full voting rights associated with the shares of Company Stock underlying the Restricted Performance Stock, and (B)dividends which would otherwise be received during the Restriction Period shall be accrued and paid to the Participant in the same proportion and at the same time as the underlying Restricted Performance Stock vests, if at all, and any dividends paid in shares of Company Stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as the shares of Restricted Performance Stock granted under this Agreement.

Section 4    Covenants

(A)Non-Solicitation. The Participant acknowledges and understands that the Participant’s contacts with customers or potential customers of the Company and its Subsidiaries are due, at least in part, to the support and assistance provided by the Company during the term of the Participant’s employment, and therefore, that soliciting, diverting or appropriating such persons would unfairly harm the Company and its Subsidiaries. As a result, the Participant agrees that, during the term of the Participant’s employment and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly:

(i) Contact any customer or prospective customer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the Participant’s behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, of whom the Participant had knowledge, actual or imputed, or with whom the Participant had contact in whatever form during the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the purpose of soliciting the business of such person or inducing such person to acquire from any person or entity other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries any product or service that currently is provided or under development by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or

(ii)    Attempt to solicit, or assist anyone in attempting to solicit, any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the employee’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(B)Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information. The Participant acknowledges and understands that during the course of the Participant’s employment with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, the Participant shall have access to Confidential Information (as defined below) that is maintained as confidential by the Company and its Subsidiaries, is highly valuable and

3

proprietary to the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the disclosure of which to third parties, or the unauthorized access, acquisition, use, or attempted access, acquisition or use, of which would cause the Company and its Subsidiaries serious and unfair competitive disadvantage and harm. As a result, the Participant agrees that, during the Participant’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and at all times thereafter, regardless of the reason for the Termination of such employment:

(i)     The Participant shall not disclose to any third parties any Confidential Information or use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than to carry out the Participant’s employment responsibilities for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(ii)     The Participant shall treat such Confidential Information as confidential, as required by law and this Agreement;

(iii)     The Participant shall only access, acquire, use, or attempt to access, acquire, or use, Confidential Information for use in performing the Participant’s duties for the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, and for no other reason; and

(iv)    Immediately upon Termination of the Participant’s employment for any reason, to return to the Company all Confidential Information in the Participant’s possession or control, as well as any Copies (as defined below) made of such Confidential Information and any other material, including handwritten notes, made or derived from such Confidential Information;

(v)     For purposes of this Agreement:

(I) “Confidential Information” means all trade secrets and proprietary information in whatever form (whether communicated orally or in documentary or other tangible form) belonging to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that has not been published or disseminated or otherwise become a matter of public knowledge other than as a result of the Participant’s acts or omissions, including without limitation: business plans, financial or accounting information, rates, insurance payment and reimbursement information, research and development information, marketing or sales information, customer lists, lists of potential customers, contact information for any customer or potential customer, processes, computer programs, systems and software (including, without limitation, documentation and related source and object codes), customer renewal and expiration information, associate information, on-site program and support materials, training programs and associated materials, pricing lists, contracts, forms, methods, procedures and analyses and any other information that the Company or one of its Subsidiaries takes measures to prevent, in the ordinary course of business, from being available to persons other than those selected by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.

(II)“Copies” includes all Confidential Information stored or maintained in electronic format or on electronic or magnetic media of any sort, including, without limitation, computer servers, PDAs, cell phones, I-Pods, smart cards, Blackberries, hard drives, zip drives, floppy disks, CD-ROMs, DVDs, and magnetic tapes.

(C)    Reasonableness of Restraints; Irreparable Harm; Breach No Defense. The Participant acknowledges that:

4

(i)    The covenants described in this Section 4 are reasonably necessary to protect the goodwill, trade secrets, and other legitimate business interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries and that such restraints shall not cause the Participant any undue hardship.

(ii)    Any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 4 would cause the Company or one of its Subsidiaries immediate and irreparable harm forwhich injunctive relief would be necessary and proper, and the Participant consents to the issuance of a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction upon good faith presentment by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries of allegations demonstrating such breach without the necessity of proving damages or posting a bond therefor; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be construed to prohibit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from pursuing all other legal remedies at its disposal including but not limited to monetary damages.

(iii)The covenants of this Section 4 are essential to this Agreement. They shall be construed as independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action which the Participant may have against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries of these covenants.

(iv)If the scope of any restriction contained in this Section 4 is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, then such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the Participant hereby consents and agrees that such scope may be judicially modified accordingly in any proceeding brought to enforce such restriction.

Section 5    Restricted Performance Stock Subject to Plan; Plan as Controlling

By entering into this Agreement, the Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Participant has received and read a copy of the Plan.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Peoples" refers to Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively, except where the context indicates the reference relates solely to Peoples Bancorp Inc.) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, these financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Peoples’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 ("Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K").

The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those described in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K, as updated by the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023 (this "Form 10-Q"). Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after June 30, 2023 for potential recognition or disclosure in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.  In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly such information for the periods and at the dates indicated.  Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022, contained herein, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K. 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, due in part to seasonal variations and unusual or infrequently occurring items.

New Accounting Pronouncements: From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by Peoples as of the required effective dates. The following paragraphs related to new pronouncements should be read in conjunction with "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes the impact of any recently issued standards, including those issued but not yet effective, will not have a material impact on Peoples' financial statements taken as a whole.

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. This guidance was further updated by ASU 2021-01. This update was effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The FASB further updated the guidance with ASU 2022-06, which deferred the sunset date of ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. ASU 2020-04 was early adopted by Peoples as of September 30, 2021, and did not have a significant impact on Peoples' Consolidated Financial Statements, but is expected to reduce the accounting burden of assessing contracts impacted by reference rate reform. Peoples established a working group, consisting of key stakeholders from throughout the company, to monitor developments relating to London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") changes and to guide the transition. This team has worked to successfully ensure that technology systems are prepared for the transition, loan documents that reference LIBOR-based rates have been appropriately amended to reference other methods of interest rate determinations and internal and external stakeholders have been apprised of the transition. Peoples ceased originating LIBOR-based products after December 31, 2021 and began originating SOFR-indexed products. Any LIBOR-based products originated prior to December 31, 2021, but maturing after June 30, 2023, are based on SOFR-indexed products as of July 1, 2023. The transition did not have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2022-02 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs") and Vintage Disclosures. This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance on TDRs for creditors and amends the guidance on disclosures to include current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination. This ASU also updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 326 and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. For entities that have already adopted ASU 2016-13, as Peoples has, the amendments in ASU 2022-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

Effective January 1, 2023, Peoples adopted the amendments within ASU 2022-02, using the prospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to the guidance in ASU 2022-02, when a loan is restructured, Peoples continues to measure the allowance for credit losses on the loan using a discounted cash flow approach that utilizes a prepayment-adjusted discount rate based on the loan’s restructured terms. Under the TDR accounting model, Peoples modeled a 12-month extension of the contractual terms for TDRs that were to mature within the next 12 months. As Peoples has elected a prospective transition, the extension on a loan that was previously restructured and accounted for as a TDR will continue to be measured as it had been historically in Peoples' allowance for credit losses until the loan is paid off, sold, liquidated or subsequently restructured. Refer to "Note 4 Loans and Leases" for additional information.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value represents the amount expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in its principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, Peoples measures, records and reports various types of assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or a non-recurring basis in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Those assets and liabilities are presented below in the sections entitled “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis” and “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis.”

Depending on the nature of the asset or the liability, Peoples uses various valuation methodologies and assumptions to estimate fair value. The measurement of fair value under US GAAP uses a hierarchy, which is described in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K.

Assets and liabilities are assigned to a level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant input used to measure fair value. Assets and liabilities may change levels within the fair value hierarchy due to market conditions or other circumstances. Those transfers are recognized on the date of the event that prompted the transfer. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.

Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table provides the fair value for assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets by level in the fair value hierarchy.

(b)    Included in "Other assets" on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. For additional information, see "Note 10 Derivative Financial Instruments" of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(c)    Included in "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. For additional information, see "Note 10 Derivative Financial Instruments" of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Available-for-Sale Investment Securities: The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent either quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1) or fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, LIBOR (or other relevant) yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2). As of June 30, 2023, Peoples had one available-for-sale investment security for which quoted market prices or observable market data was unavailable. Therefore, a broker estimated market value based on the price an interested buyer would be willing to pay (Level 3). Management reviews the valuation methodology and quality controls utilized by the pricing services or broker in management's overall assessment of the

reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when management believes a material discrepancy in pricing exists.

Equity Investment Securities: The fair values of Peoples' equity investment securities are obtained from quoted prices in active exchange markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) or quoted prices in less active markets (Level 2).

Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities: Derivative assets and derivative liabilities are recognized on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value within "Other assets" and "Accrued expenses and other liabilities", respectively. The fair value for derivative financial instruments is determined based on market prices, broker-dealer quotations on similar products, or other related input parameters (Level 2).

Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The following table provides the fair value for each class of assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets by level in the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

	Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date

(Dollars in thousands)	Level 2		Level 3		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Collateral dependent loans	$	—	$	6,561	$	—	$	10,354
Loans held for sale (a)	$	1,587	$	—	$	1,254	$	—
Other real estate owned	$	—	$	7,118	$	—	$	55

(a) Loans held for sale are presented gross of a valuation allowance of $138 and $105 at June 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022, respectively.

Collateral Dependent Loans: Loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, are considered collateral dependent. Peoples utilizes outside third-party appraisal services to value the underlying collateral, which Peoples then uses to report the loans at their fair value (Level 3).

Loans Held for Sale: Loans originated and intended to be sold in the secondary market, generally one-to-four family residential loans, are carried, in aggregate, at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Peoples uses a valuation model using quoted market prices of similar instruments in arriving at the fair value (Level 2).

Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO"): OREO, included in "Other assets" on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, is comprised primarily of commercial and residential real estate properties acquired by Peoples in satisfaction of a loan. OREO obtained in satisfaction of a loan is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell the property. The carrying value of OREO is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is based on recent real estate appraisals and is updated at least annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available (Level 3).

Servicing Rights: Servicing rights are included in "Other intangible assets" on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of servicing rights is determined by using a discounted cash flow model, which estimates the present value of the future net cash flows of the servicing portfolio based on various factors, such as servicing costs, expected prepayment speeds and discount rates (Level 3). The carrying value of servicing rights is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis. Peoples assesses the carrying value of servicing rights quarterly for impairment.

Financial Instruments Not Required to be Measured or Reported at Fair Value

The following table provides the carrying amount for each class of assets and liabilities and the fair value for certain financial instruments that are not required to be measured or reported at fair value on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(a) Held-to-maturity investment securities are presented gross of an allowance for credit losses of $241 at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

(b) Nonqualified deferred compensation includes mutual funds as part of the investment.

(c)     "Other investment securities", as reported on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, also included equity investment securities at June 30, 2023

and at December 31, 2022, which are reported in the Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

table above and not included in this table.

(d) Loans and leases, net of deferred fees and costs, are presented gross of an allowance for credit losses of $61.2 million and $53.2 million at June 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022, respectively.

For certain financial assets and liabilities, carrying value approximates fair value due to the nature of the financial instrument. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, and overnight borrowings. Peoples used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances due from other banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold and other short-term investments with original maturities of ninety days or less. The carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents balances are a reasonable estimate of fair value (Level 1).

Held-to-Maturity Investment Securities: The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, relevant yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2). When observable market data is absent, the independent pricing service estimates prices based on underlying cash flow characteristics and discount rates and compares them to similar securities (Level 3). Management reviews the valuation

methodology and quality controls utilized by the pricing services in management's overall assessment of the reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when management believes a material discrepancy in pricing exists.

Other Investment Securities: Other investment securities at cost are not recorded at fair value as they are not marketable securities. Other investment securities at fair value are valued using quoted prices in an active market (Level 1) or quoted prices in less active markets (Level 2).

Loans and Leases, Net of Deferred Fees and Costs: The fair value of portfolio loans and leases assumes sale of the underlying notes to a third-party financial investor. Accordingly, this value is not necessarily the value to Peoples if the notes were held to maturity. Peoples considers interest rate, credit and market factors in estimating the fair value of loans and leases (Level 3). Fair values for loans and leases are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discount rates take into account interest rates currently being offered to customers for loans and leases with similar terms, the credit risk associated with the loans and leases and other market factors, including liquidity.

Bank Owned Life Insurance: Peoples' bank owned life insurance policies are recorded at their cash surrender value (Level 2). Peoples recognizes tax-exempt income from the periodic increases in the cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.

Deposits: The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit ("CDs") is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Demand and other non-fixed-maturity deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on maturity, attrition and re-pricing assumptions (Level 2).

Short-term Borrowings: The fair value of short-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2). 

Long-term Borrowings: The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2). 

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured or reported at fair value can be subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). These financial assets and financial liabilities include the following: customer relationships, the deposit base, and other information required to compute Peoples’ aggregate fair value, which are not included in the above information. Accordingly, the fair values described above are not intended to represent the aggregate fair value of Peoples.

Management evaluates available-for-sale investment securities for an allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. At June 30, 2023, management concluded that no individual securities at an unrealized loss position required an allowance for credit losses. At June 30, 2023, Peoples did not have the intent to sell, nor was it more likely than not that Peoples would be required to sell, any of the securities with an unrealized loss prior to recovery. Further, the unrealized losses at both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were largely attributable to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased, and were not credit-related losses. Accrued interest receivable is not included in investment securities balances, and is presented in the “Other assets” line of the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, with no recorded allowance for credit losses. Interest receivable on investment securities was $9.8 million at June 30, 2023 and $7.8 million at December 31, 2022.

At June 30, 2023, approximately 99% of the mortgage-backed securities with a market value that had been at an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more were issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies. The remaining 1%, or five positions, consisted of privately issued mortgage-backed securities with all of the underlying mortgages originated prior to 2004. Of the five positions, three positions had a fair value of less than 90% of their book values. Management analyzed the underlying credit quality of these mortgage-backed securities and concluded the unrealized losses were primarily attributable to the floating rate nature of these investments and the low remaining number of loans underlying these securities. Obligations of the U.S. treasury and government agencies, obligations of U.S. government sponsored agencies, and obligations of states and political subdivisions were issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, Federal, state or local government-sponsored entities. The decline in fair values was attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. Therefore, management does not consider these to be impaired securities.

The unrealized loss with respect to the three bank-issued trust preferred securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more at June 30, 2023 was attributable to the subordinated nature of the trust preferred securities.

The table below presents the amortized cost, fair value and total weighted-average yield of available-for-sale securities by contractual maturity at June 30, 2023. The weighted-average yields are based on the amortized cost. In some cases, the issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations without call or prepayment penalties prior to the contractual maturity date.

There were no sales of held-to-maturity securities during either of the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

Management evaluates held-to-maturity investment securities for an allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. Peoples has determined that the loss given default for U.S. government sponsored agencies investment securities is zero, due to the fact that it is unlikely the ultimate guarantor (the U.S. government) would not perform on its implicit guarantee in the event of default. The remaining securities are included in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity investment securities. Peoples reported $0.2 million of allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity securities at both June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

Peoples purchased $7.6 million of additional FHLB stock during the six months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of the FHLB's capital requirements on FHLB advances during the first six months.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Peoples recorded the change in the fair value of equity investment securities held during the period, in "Other non-interest income", resulting in an unrealized loss of $138,000 and an unrealized loss of $11,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Peoples recognized a unrealized loss of $117,000 and an unrealized loss of $18,000, respectively, for the change in fair value of equity investment securities in "Other non-interest income".

At June 30, 2023, Peoples' investment in equity investment securities was comprised largely of common stocks issued by various unrelated bank holding companies. There were no equity investment securities of a single issuer that exceeded 10% of Peoples' stockholders' equity.

Pledged Securities

Peoples has pledged available-for-sale investment securities and held-to-maturity investment securities to secure public and trust department deposits, and repurchase agreements in accordance with federal and state requirements. Peoples has also pledged available-for-sale investment securities to secure additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB and the FRB.

Receivables [Abstract]

Loans and Leases

Loans and LeasesPeoples' loan portfolio consists of various types of loans and leases originated primarily as a result of lending opportunities within Peoples' footprint. Peoples also originates insurance premium finance loans nationwide through its Peoples Premium Finance division, and originates leases nationwide through its North Star Leasing ("NSL") division and its Vantage Financial, LLC ("Vantage") subsidiary. Throughout this Form 10-Q, loans and leases are referred to as "total loans" and "loans held for investment".

The major classifications of loan balances (in each case, net of deferred fees and costs) excluding loans held for sale, were as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Construction	$	418,741	$	246,941

Deposit account overdrafts	830		722
Total loans, at amortized cost	$	5,974,596	$	4,707,150

Accrued interest receivable is not included within the loan balances, but is presented in the “Other assets” line of the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, with no recorded allowance for credit losses. Total interest receivable on loans was $20.0 million at June 30, 2023 and $15.4 million at December 31, 2022.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

A loan is considered past due if any required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the loan agreement. A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loan is considered past due.

The amortized cost of loans on nonaccrual status and of loans delinquent for 90 days or more and accruing was as follows:

	June 30, 2023				December 31, 2022

Total loans, at amortized cost	$	28,796	$	5,924	$	31,473	$	4,842

(a) There were $1.3 million of nonaccrual loans for which there was no allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2023 and $1.4 million of nonaccrual loans for which there was no allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2022.

During the first six months of 2023, nonaccrual loans declined compared to at December 31, 2022, which was primarily due to $3.1 million of commercial real estate loans being on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2022 that were accruing as of March 31, 2023. The increase in accruing loans 90+ days past due at June 30, 2023 when compared to at December 31, 2022, was primarily due to increases of $0.5 million and $0.8 million in premium finance loans and leases, respectively.

The amount of interest income recognized on loans past due 90 days or more and accruing during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $0.9 million.

The following table presents the aging of the amortized cost of past due loans:

Pledged Loans

Peoples has pledged certain loans secured by one-to-four family and multifamily residential mortgages, home equity lines of credit and commercial real estate loans under a blanket collateral agreement to secure borrowings from the FHLB. Peoples also has pledged eligible commercial and industrial loans to secure borrowings with the FRB. Loans pledged are summarized as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Loans pledged to FHLB	$	1,268,215	$	783,843

Credit Quality Indicators

As discussed in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K, Peoples categorizes the majority of its loans into risk categories based upon an established risk grading matrix using a scale of 1 to 8. Loan grades are assigned at the time a new loan or lending commitment is extended by Peoples and may be changed at any time when circumstances warrant. Commercial loans to borrowers with an aggregate unpaid principal balance in excess of $1.0 million are reviewed at least on an annual basis for possible credit deterioration. Commercial leases, as well as loan relationships whose aggregate credit exposure to Peoples is equal to or less than $1.0 million, are reviewed at least on an event driven basis. Triggers for review include knowledge of adverse events affecting the borrower's business, receipt of financial statements indicating deteriorating credit quality or other similar events. Adversely classified loans are reviewed on a quarterly basis. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades used by Peoples, follows:

“Pass” (grades 1 through 4): Loans in this risk category involve borrowers of acceptable-to-strong credit quality and risk who have the apparent ability to satisfy their loan obligations. Loans in this risk grade would possess sufficient mitigating factors, such as adequate collateral or strong guarantors possessing the capacity to repay the loan if required, for any weakness that may exist.

“Special Mention” (grade 5): Loans in this risk grade are the equivalent of the regulatory definition of “Other Assets Especially Mentioned.” Loans in this risk category possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which requires a high level of management attention. Potential weaknesses include declining trends in operating earnings and cash flows and/or reliance on a secondary source of repayment. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in noticeable deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in Peoples' credit position.

“Substandard” (grade 6): Loans in this risk grade are inadequately protected by the borrower's current financial condition and payment capability or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of the loans. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Peoples will sustain some loss if the weaknesses are not corrected.

“Doubtful” (grade 7): Loans in this risk grade have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, classification of each of these loans as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

“Loss” (grade 8): Loans in this risk grade are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean a loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Charge-offs against the allowance for credit losses are taken during the period in which the loan becomes uncollectible. Consequently, Peoples typically does not maintain a recorded investment in loans within this category.

Consumer loans and other smaller-balance loans are evaluated and categorized as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss" based upon the regulatory definition of these classes and consistent with regulatory requirements. Leases are categorized as "special mention", "substandard", or "loss" based upon delinquency status and the prospect of collecting the remaining net investment balance owed under the lease. All other loans not evaluated individually, nor meeting the regulatory conditions to be categorized as described above, would be considered as being "not rated."

The following table summarizes the risk category of loans within Peoples' loan portfolio, including acquired loans, based upon the most recent analysis performed at June 30, 2023:

Collateral Dependent Loans

Peoples has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The underlying collateral can vary based upon the type of loan. The following provides more detail about the types of collateral that secure collateral dependent loans:

•Construction loans are typically secured by owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment real estate. Typically, owner occupied construction loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and other commercial and industrial properties that are in process of construction. Non-owner occupied commercial construction loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, multi-family complexes, land under development, and other commercial and industrial real estate in process of construction.

•Commercial real estate loans can be secured by either owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment commercial real estate. Typically, owner occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development, industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate.

•Commercial and industrial loans are generally secured by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, and other commercial property.

•Residential real estate loans are typically secured by first mortgages, and in some cases could be secured by a second mortgage, on residential real property.

•Home equity lines of credit are generally secured by second mortgages on residential real estate property.

•Consumer loans are generally secured by automobiles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Some consumer loans are unsecured and have no underlying collateral.

•Leases are secured by commercial equipment and other essential business assets.

•Premium finance loans are secured by the unearned portion of the insurance premium being financed.

The following table details Peoples' amortized cost of collateral dependent loans:

(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Commercial real estate, other	5,581		8,362
Commercial and industrial	460		1,456
Residential real estate	520		536
Total collateral dependent loans	$	6,561	$	10,354

The decrease in collateral dependent loans at June 30, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022, was primarily due to three large relationships that were paid in full during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Modifications for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty Subsequent to the Adoption of ASU 2022-02

As part of Peoples' loss mitigation activities, Peoples may agree to modify the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. The most common modifications to the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty include an extension of the maturity date, a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the loan, a temporary period of interest-only payments, and a reduction in the contractual payment amount for either a short period or the remaining term of the loan.

In addition to loan modifications, Peoples also provides other loss mitigation options, such as forbearance and repayment plans, to assist borrowers who experience financial difficulties. In assessing whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, Peoples considers information currently available regarding the financial condition of the borrower. This information includes, but is not limited to, whether (1) the borrower is currently in payment default on any of the borrower's debt; (2) a payment default is probable in the foreseeable future without the modification; (3) the borrower has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy; and (4) the borrower's projected cash flow is insufficient to satisfy contractual payments due under the original terms of the loan without a modification.

The following table displays the amortized cost of loans that were restructured during the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2023, presented by loan classification.

Troubled Debt Restructurings Disclosures Prior to the Adoption of ASU 2022-02

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, Peoples accounted for a modification to the contractual terms of a loan that resulted in granting a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties as a TDR. See “Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting

Policies” in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K for more information on our TDR policy and the COVID-19 relief from TDR accounting and disclosure requirements, and “Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in this Form 10-Q for more information on the adoption of ASU 2022-02.

Allowance for Credit Losses

As discussed in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K, Peoples estimates the allowance for credit losses using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In management's estimation of expected credit losses, Peoples uses a one-year reasonable and supportable period across all segments. Following the reasonable and supportable period, Peoples reverts the macroeconomic variables to their long run average over a four-quarter reversion period.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 are summarized below:

(c)

(a)Amount does not include the provision for the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments

During the second quarter of 2023, Peoples recorded a total provision for credit losses for loans of $8.0 million, largely attributable to a provision of $9.4 million for the non-purchased credit deteriorated loans acquired in the Limestone Merger, partially offset by the release of reserves of $1.7 million on individually analyzed loans and a recovery of $1.0 million due to improvements in macro-economic conditions. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2023 were $1.2 million, primarily due to net charge-offs of indirect consumer loans of $0.8 million.

During the second quarter of 2022, Peoples recorded a recovery of credit losses of $0.7 million driven by a reduction in allowance for individually analyzed loans, as well as changes in loss drivers used in the CECL model. Leases designated as purchased-credit

deteriorated ("PCD") acquired from Vantage increased the allowance for credit losses by $292,000. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2022 were $1.5 million, and included charge-offs of three leases aggregating $0.5 million.

Peoples had recorded an allowance for unfunded commitments of $2.0 million as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The allowance for unfunded commitments (also referred to as "unfunded commitment liability") is presented in the “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” line of the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in the allowance for unfunded commitments is also reflected in the "Provision for (recovery of) credit losses" line of the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]

Employee Benefit Plans

Employee Benefit Plans

Peoples sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all employees hired before January 1, 2010. The plan provides retirement benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation. For employees hired before January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on the employee’s average monthly compensation over the highest five consecutive years out of the employee’s last ten years with Peoples while an eligible employee. For employees hired on or after January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on 2% of the employee’s annual compensation during the years 2003 through 2009, plus accrued interest. Effective January 1, 2010, the pension plan was closed to new entrants. Effective March 1, 2011, the accrual of pension plan benefits for all participants was frozen. Peoples recognized this freeze as a curtailment as of December 31, 2010 and March 1, 2011, under the terms of the pension plan. Effective July 1, 2013, a participant in the pension plan who is employed by Peoples may elect to receive or to commence receiving such person's retirement benefits as of the later of such person's normal retirement date or the first day of the month first following the date such person makes an election to receive his or her retirement benefits.

Peoples also provides post-retirement health and life insurance benefits to certain former employees and directors. Only those individuals who retired before January 27, 2012 were eligible for life insurance benefits. As of January 1, 2011, all retirees who desire to participate in the Peoples Bank medical plan do so by electing COBRA, which provides up to 18 months of coverage; retirees over the age of 65 also have the option to pay to participate in a group Medicare supplemental plan. Peoples only pays 100% of the cost of health benefits for those individuals who retired before January 1, 1993. For all others, the retiree is responsible for most, if not all, of the cost of the health benefits. Peoples’ policy is to fund the cost of the benefits as they arise.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, which was determined as of January 1, 2023, is 7.0%. The following table details the components of the net periodic cost for the noncontributory defined benefit pension plan described above, which is included in salaries and employee benefit costs on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Under US GAAP, Peoples is required to recognize a settlement gain or loss when the aggregate amount of lump-sum distributions to participants equals or exceeds the sum of the service and interest cost components of the net periodic pension cost. The amount of settlement gain or loss recognized is the pro rata amount of the unrealized gain or loss existing immediately prior to the settlement. In general, both the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets are required to be remeasured in order to determine the settlement gain or loss.

Peoples did not record a settlement gain or loss during the six months ended June 30, 2023 or the six months ended June 30, 2022 under the noncontributory defined benefit pension plan.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial InstrumentsPeoples utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset/liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is included in the "Other assets" and the "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" lines in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, while cash activity related to these derivative financial instruments is included in the activity in "Net cash provided by operating activities" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities - Risk Management Objective of Using Derivative Financial Instruments

Peoples is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Peoples principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. Peoples manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its assets and liabilities. Peoples also manages interest rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, Peoples enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known or expected cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. Peoples’ derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of Peoples' known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain variable rate borrowings. Peoples also has interest rate derivative financial instruments that result from a service provided to certain qualifying customers and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in Peoples' assets or liabilities. Peoples manages a matched book with respect to customer-related derivative financial instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Peoples' objectives in using interest rate derivative financial instruments are to add stability to interest income and expense, and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. At June 30, 2023, Peoples had entered into twelve interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $115.0 million. Peoples will pay a fixed rate of interest for up to ten years while receiving a floating rate component of interest equal to the three-month LIBOR rate through June 30, 2023, after which point three-month LIBOR shall cease publication, and Peoples will pay a fixed rate equal to term SOFR. The interest received on the floating rate component is intended to offset the interest paid on rolling three-month brokered CDs, which will continue to be rolled through the life of the interest rate swaps. At June 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022, the interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of $115.0 million and $125.0 million, respectively, in brokered CDs, which are expected to be extended every 90 days through the maturity dates of the interest rate swaps.

For derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the effective and ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of each derivative financial instrument is reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income ("AOCI") (outside of earnings), net of tax, and are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made or received on Peoples' variable-rate liabilities. Peoples assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the hedging derivative financial instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transaction. The reset dates and the payment dates on the brokered CDs are matched to the reset dates and payment dates on the receipt of the three-month LIBOR floating portion (or the SOFR term rate beyond June 30, 2023) of the swaps to ensure effectiveness of the cash flow hedge. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, Peoples recorded reclassifications of gains to earnings of $0.1 million and reclassifications of losses to earnings of $0.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Peoples recorded reclassifications of losses to earnings of 130,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. During the next twelve months, Peoples estimates that $1.3 million of AOCI will be reclassified as a reduction to interest expense.

The following table summarizes information about the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges:

(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2023			December 31, 2022

Non-Designated Hedges

Peoples maintains an interest rate protection program for commercial loan customers, which was established in 2010. Under this program, Peoples originates variable rate loans with interest rate swaps, where the customer enters into an interest rate swap with Peoples on terms that match the terms of the loan. By entering into the interest rate swap with the customer, Peoples Bank effectively provides the customer with a fixed rate loan while creating a variable rate asset for Peoples Bank. Peoples Bank offsets its exposure in the interest rate swap by entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with an unaffiliated institution. These interest rate swaps do not qualify as designated hedges; therefore, each interest rate swap is accounted for as a standalone derivative financial instrument. These interest rate swaps did not have a material impact on Peoples' results of operations or financial condition at or for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2023 and as of or for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The following table reflects the non-designated hedges, which are included in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value:

Interest rate swaps related to commercial loans	$	361,597	$	25,588	$	390,126	$	28,529

Pledged Collateral

Peoples pledges or receives collateral for all interest rate swaps. When the fair value of Peoples' interest rate swaps is in a net liability position, Peoples must pledge collateral, and, when the fair value of Peoples' interest rate swaps is in a net asset position, the respective counterparties must pledge collateral. At June 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022, Peoples had no cash pledged, while counterparties had $19.4 million of cash pledged at June 30, 2023 and $20.9 million of cash pledged at December 31, 2022. Peoples had no pledged investment securities at June 30, 2023 or at December 31, 2022, while the counterparties had pledged investment securities in the amounts of $2.3 million at June 30, 2023 and $2.5 million at December 31, 2022.

Stock-Based Compensation

6 Months Ended

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based CompensationUnder the Peoples Bancorp Inc. Fourth Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Plan (the "2006 Equity Plan"), Peoples may grant, among other awards, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted common share awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units and unrestricted common share awards to employees and non-employee directors. The total number of common shares available under the 2006 Equity Plan is 1,493,297. The maximum number of common shares that can be issued for incentive stock options is 750,000 common shares. Since February 2009, Peoples has granted restricted common shares to employees, and periodically to non-employee directors, subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by the 2006 Equity Plan. In general, common shares issued in connection with stock-based awards are issued from treasury shares to the extent available. If no treasury shares are available, common shares are issued from authorized but unissued common shares.

Restricted Common Shares

 Under the 2006 Equity Plan, Peoples may award restricted common shares to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. In general, the restrictions on the restricted common shares awarded to employees expire after periods ranging from one to five years. Since 2018, common shares awarded to non-employee directors have vested immediately upon grant with no restrictions. In the first six months of 2023, Peoples granted an aggregate of 188,372 restricted common shares subject to performance-based vesting to officers and key employees with restrictions that will lapse three years after the grant date; provided that in order for the restricted common shares to vest in full, Peoples must have reported positive net income and maintained a well-capitalized status by regulatory standards for each of the three fiscal years preceding the vesting date.

The following table summarizes the changes to Peoples’ restricted common shares for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

	Time-Based Vesting			Performance-Based Vesting
	Number of Common Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Common Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Oustanding at January 1, 2023	138,522	$	27.25	295,875	$	32.20

Outstanding at June 30, 2023	167,827	$	26.62	407,328	$	31.21

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, intrinsic value for restricted common shares released was $2.5 million compared to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Stock-Based Compensation

Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation, which is included as a component of Peoples’ salaries and employee benefit costs, for restricted and unrestricted common shares, as well as purchases made by participants in the employee stock purchase plan. For restricted common shares, Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation based on the estimated fair value of the awards expected to vest on the grant date. The estimated fair value is then expensed over the vesting period, which is normally three years. Peoples also has an employee stock purchase plan whereby employees can purchase Peoples' common shares at a discount of 15%. The following table summarizes the amount of stock-based compensation expense and related tax benefit recognized for each period:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Employee stock-based compensation expense:
Stock grant expense	$	1,009	$	576	$	3,159	$	2,153
Employee stock purchase plan expense	34		24		73		52
Total employee stock-based compensation expense	1,043		600		$	3,232	$	2,205
Non-employee director stock-based compensation expense	135		127		$	271	$	251
Total stock-based compensation expense	1,178		727		$	3,503	$	2,456
Recognized tax benefit	(278)		(166)		(825)		(560)
Net stock-based compensation expense	$	900	$	561	$	2,678	$	1,896

The fair value of restricted common share awards on the grant date is the market price of Peoples' common shares on that date. Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted common share awards was $6.8 million at June 30, 2023, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Acquisitions

Acquisitions

Limestone Bancorp, Inc.

As of the close of business on April 30, 2023, Peoples completed the Limestone Merger and immediately after the Limestone Merger, Limestone Bank, Inc., which operated 20 branches in Kentucky, merged into Peoples Bank. As consideration, Limestone shareholders were paid 0.90 common shares of Peoples for each full share of Limestone that was owned at the merger date, resulting in the issuance of 6,827,668 common shares by Peoples, or aggregate consideration of $177.9 million. Peoples accounted for this transaction as a business combination under the acquisition method.

Peoples recorded acquisition-related expenses related to the Limestone Merger, which included $10.8 million and $11.2 million in non-interest expense for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. For the second quarter of 2023, the $10.8 million of non-interest expense consisted of $5.2 million in salaries and employee benefit costs, $4.8 million in professional fees, $0.5 million in insurance expense, and $0.3 million in various other non-interest expense line items. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the $11.2 million of non-interest expense consisted of $5.2 million in salaries and employee benefit costs, $5.1 million in professional fees, $0.5 million in insurance expense, $0.4 million in various other non-interest expense line items.

Peoples recorded the fair value based on initial valuations available at the close of business on April 30, 2023. Due to the timing of the transaction closing date and this Form 10-Q, these estimated fair values were considered preliminary as of June 30, 2023, and are subject to adjustment for up to one year after April 30, 2023. Valuations subject to change include, but are not limited to, loans, bank premises, core deposit intangibles (included in other intangible assets), certain deposits, other long-term borrowings, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and certain other assets and other liabilities.

The following table provides the preliminary purchase price calculation as of the date of the Limestone Merger, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values.

Accrued expenses and other liabilities	12,967
Total liabilities	1,340,895
Net assets	114,512
Goodwill	$	63,419

The goodwill recorded in connection with the Limestone Merger is related to expected synergies to be gained from the combination of Limestone with Peoples' operations. The employees retained from the Limestone Merger and the geographic locations of Limestone should allow Peoples to continue to grow the loan and deposit portfolios while also increasing Peoples' ability to penetrate the new markets, which should benefit Peoples in future periods. During Peoples' evaluation of intangible assets, it was determined that an assembled workforce intangible asset was not separately recognizable and was included in goodwill. Peoples recorded a core deposit asset in other intangible assets related to the Limestone Merger.

Loans acquired by Peoples in a business combination that have evidence of more than insignificant credit deterioration, which includes loans as to which Peoples believes it is probable that Peoples will be unable to collect all contractually required payments, are considered "purchased credit deteriorated" loans. Acquired purchased credit deteriorated loans are reported net of the unamortized fair value adjustment. These loans are recorded at the purchase price, and an allowance for credit losses is determined based upon discrete credit marks, along with discounted cash flow models based upon similar pools of loans, using a similar methodology as for other loans. The following table details the fair value adjustment for acquired purchased credit deteriorated loans as of the acquisition date:

(Dollars in thousands)	Par Value		Allowance for Credit Losses		Non-Credit (Discount) Premium		Fair Value

Fair value	$	37,194	$	(1,008)	$	(2,239)	$	33,947

Peoples' operating results for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2023 include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Limestone subsequent to the Limestone Merger. Due to the timing of the acquisition close and the conversion of Limestone systems, as well as other streamlining and integration of the operating activities into those of Peoples, historical reporting for the former Limestone operations is impracticable and the disclosures of revenue from the assets acquired and income before income taxes is impracticable for the period subsequent to the acquisition. The following table presents unaudited pro forma information as if the Limestone Merger had occurred on January 1, 2022. The pro forma adjustments include any changes in interest income due to the accretion of discounts, or amortization of premiums, associated with the fair value adjustments to acquired loans, interest-bearing deposits, long-term borrowings and customer deposit intangibles that would have resulted had the assets and liabilities been acquired as of January 1, 2022. The pro forma information excludes Peoples' acquisition-related expenses as described above as well as a provision of credit losses of $9.4 million recorded to establish an allowance for credit losses for non-purchased credit deteriorated loans relating to the acquired loans. The pro forma reflects the adoption of CECL by Limestone as of January 1, 2023. The pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have occurred had Peoples acquired Limestone on January 1, 2022. Additionally, cost savings and other business synergies related to the acquisition are not reflected in the pro forma amounts.

Vantage Financial, LLC

On March 7, 2022, Peoples Bank purchased 100% of the equity of Vantage, a nationwide provider of equipment financing headquartered in Excelsior, Minnesota. Peoples Bank acquired assets comprising Vantage's lease business, including $154.9 million in leases and certain third-party debt in the amount of $106.9 million. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, Peoples Bank paid cash consideration of $54.0 million, and also repaid $28.9 million in recourse debt on behalf of Vantage, for total consideration of $82.9 million. Vantage offers mid-ticket equipment leases, primarily for business essential information technology equipment across a wide-array of industries.

Peoples recorded acquisition-related expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $46,000 in professional fees related to the Vantage acquisition. Peoples recorded acquisition-related expenses during the first six months of 2022 of $1.5 million related to the Vantage acquisition, which included $1.1 million in professional fees.

Leases

Leases

Peoples has elected certain practical expedients, in accordance with ASC 842 - Leases ("ASC 842"). As a lessor, Peoples has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the consideration in the contract, and from variable payments not included in the consideration in the contract, all sales and other similar taxes assessed. Peoples has also made an accounting policy election to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases subject to ASC 842.

Lessor Arrangements

Leases originated by Peoples, that Peoples has the positive intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or to maturity or payoff, are reported at the net investment in the lease, net of initial direct costs, charge-offs and an allowance for credit losses. Peoples considers leases past due if any required principal or interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the lease agreement. Upon detection of the reduced ability of a lessee to meet cash flow obligations, a lease is typically charged down to the net realizable value, with the residual balance placed on nonaccrual status. Leases deemed to be uncollectable are charged against the allowance for credit losses, while recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for credit losses.

Peoples began originating leases with the acquisition of leases from NSL in the second quarter of 2021, and expanded its lease portfolio with the acquisition of Vantage in the first quarter of 2022. The leases acquired from NSL were determined to be sales-type

leases, as the premise for these leases is dollar buy-out, whereby the lessee pays one dollar at maturity of the lease to purchase the equipment. Originated leases continue to be classified as sales-type leases. These leases do not typically contain residual value guarantees; however, if a lease contains a residual value guarantee, Peoples reduces its residual asset risk by obtaining a security deposit from the lessee. The leases acquired through Vantage were determined to be either sales-type or direct financing leases based primarily on whether they included a dollar buy-out or a fair market value buy-out, respectively. As a lessor, Peoples originates commercial equipment leases either directly to the customer or indirectly through vendor programs. Equipment leases relate to automotive, construction, health care, manufacturing, office, restaurant, information technology and other equipment. These leases include an estimated residual value, which is assessed for impairment as part of the allowance for credit losses. Lease income noted in the table below includes gain on the early termination of leases, syndicated leases, and other fees. Additional information regarding Peoples' leases can be found in "Note 4 Loans and Leases."

Lessee Arrangements

Peoples leases certain banking facilities and equipment under various agreements with original terms providing for fixed monthly payments over periods generally ranging from two to thirty years. Certain leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Only those renewal and termination options which Peoples is reasonably certain of exercising are included in the calculation of the lease liability. Certain leases contain rent escalation clauses calling for rent increases over the term of the lease, which are included in the calculation of the lease liability. At June 30, 2023, Peoples did not have any leases that met the criteria for finance leases. Right of Use ("ROU") assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement or remeasurement date of a lease based on the present value of lease payments over the remaining lease term. Operating lease ROU assets include lease payments made at or before the commencement date and initial indirect costs. Operating lease ROU assets exclude lease incentives. Short-term leases of certain facilities and equipment, with lease terms of 12 months or less, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not have an ROU asset or lease liability.

The table below details Peoples' lease expense, which is included in "Net occupancy and equipment expense" in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2023		June 30, 2022		June 30, 2023		June 30, 2022
Operating lease expense	$	766	$	660	1,461		1,263
Short-term lease expense	322		179		417		347
Total lease expense	$	1,088	$	839	$	1,878	$	1,610

Peoples utilizes an incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments for each lease, as the lease agreements do not provide an implicit rate. The estimated incremental borrowing rate reflects a secured rate and is based on the term of the lease and the interest rate environment at the lease commencement or remeasurement date.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2023

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Peoples" refers to Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively, except where the context indicates the reference relates solely to Peoples Bancorp Inc.) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, these financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Peoples’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 ("Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K").

The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those described in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K, as updated by the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023 (this "Form 10-Q"). Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after June 30, 2023 for potential recognition or disclosure in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.  In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly such information for the periods and at the dates indicated.  Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022, contained herein, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K. 

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, due in part to seasonal variations and unusual or infrequently occurring items.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements: From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by Peoples as of the required effective dates. The following paragraphs related to new pronouncements should be read in conjunction with "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes the impact of any recently issued standards, including those issued but not yet effective, will not have a material impact on Peoples' financial statements taken as a whole.

Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. This guidance was further updated by ASU 2021-01. This update was effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The FASB further updated the guidance with ASU 2022-06, which deferred the sunset date of ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. ASU 2020-04 was early adopted by Peoples as of September 30, 2021, and did not have a significant impact on Peoples' Consolidated Financial Statements, but is expected to reduce the accounting burden of assessing contracts impacted by reference rate reform. Peoples established a working group, consisting of key stakeholders from throughout the company, to monitor developments relating to London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") changes and to guide the transition. This team has worked to successfully ensure that technology systems are prepared for the transition, loan documents that reference LIBOR-based rates have been appropriately amended to reference other methods of interest rate determinations and internal and external stakeholders have been apprised of the transition. Peoples ceased originating LIBOR-based products after December 31, 2021 and began originating SOFR-indexed products. Any LIBOR-based products originated prior to December 31, 2021, but maturing after June 30, 2023, are based on SOFR-indexed products as of July 1, 2023. The transition did not have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2022-02 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs") and Vintage Disclosures. This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance on TDRs for creditors and amends the guidance on disclosures to include current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination. This ASU also updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 326 and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. For entities that have already adopted ASU 2016-13, as Peoples has, the amendments in ASU 2022-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

Effective January 1, 2023, Peoples adopted the amendments within ASU 2022-02, using the prospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.

Pursuant to the guidance in ASU 2022-02, when a loan is restructured, Peoples continues to measure the allowance for credit losses on the loan using a discounted cash flow approach that utilizes a prepayment-adjusted discount rate based on the loan’s restructured terms. Under the TDR accounting model, Peoples modeled a 12-month extension of the contractual terms for TDRs that were to mature within the next 12 months. As Peoples has elected a prospective transition, the extension on a loan that was previously restructured and accounted for as a TDR will continue to be measured as it had been historically in Peoples' allowance for credit losses until the loan is paid off, sold, liquidated or subsequently restructured. Refer to "Note 4 Loans and Leases" for additional information.
