Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. While the Company believes these are useful measures for investors, they are not presented in accordance with GAAP. You should not consider non- GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentation herein of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Tax-equivalent adjustments assume a federal tax rate of 21% and state tax rate of 9.5%. For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures we use to the most closely comparable GAAP measures, see the Appendix to this presentation.

13 Near-Term Outlook nWe expect loan growth in the 2% to 5% range on an annualized basis for 3Q25 as loan pipelines were higher at the end of 2Q25 compared to the end of 1Q25 and lower payoffs are projected. nWe expect deposit balances to be flat in 3Q25. nWe intend to purchase debt securities at a level to maintain debt securities balances near current level during 3Q25. nWe expect net interest margin to remain at current levels in 3Q25 as assets continue to reprice higher and deposit costs decrease slightly both of which are expected to be offset by lower nonaccrual interest recoveries and loan fees. nNoninterest income for 3Q25 is expected to be in line with 2Q25 results. nNoninterest expense expected to be between $31 million and $33 million in 3Q25. nAsset quality expected to remain solid, although a return to more normalized asset quality metrics and charge-offs may continue should the economy soften. Additionally, there may be more volatility in the CECL calculation if we see large changes in the forecast for unemployment and GDP. nStock repurchase program will continue to be used opportunistically with $12.1 million available through January 1, 2026. nSubordinated debt becomes callable and interest rate becomes floating in September 2025. If we chose to call the subordinated debt during the third quarter of 2025, we would expect to recognize a loss of $0.4 million in relation to the accelerated amortization of transaction issuance costs. nCurrent capital levels and operational structure support M&A should the right opportunity arise.
