APPENDIX

​

Appendix

Certain information in this Proxy contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these “non-GAAP” measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance (including for purposes of determining the compensation of certain executive officers and other Company employees) and believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods and with other financial institutions, as well as demonstrating the effects of significant gains and charges in the current period, in light of the disclosure practices employed by many other publicly-traded financial institutions.

The Company believes that a meaningful analysis of its financial performance requires an understanding of the factors underlying that performance.

Management further believes that investors may use these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze financial performance without the impact of unusual items that may obscure trends in the Company’s underlying performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non- GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

​

Efficiency Ratio: The Company presents its efficiency ratio using non-GAAP information which is most commonly used by financial institutions. The GAAP-based efficiency ratio is noninterest expenses divided by net interest income plus noninterest income from the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The non-GAAP efficiency

ratio excludes securities losses from noninterest expenses, excludes securities gains from noninterest income, and adds the tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income. The following table provides a reconciliation between the GAAP and non-GAAP efficiency ratio:

​

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · Years ended December 31, · ​
​ · Dollars in thousands · ​ · ​ · 2025 · ​ · ​ · 2024 · ​
​Non-interest expense, as presented​​​$50,298​​​​$47,156​​
​Net interest income, as presented​​​​77,377​​​​​63,910​​
​Effect of tax-exempt income​​​​2,837​​​​​2,780​​
​Non-interest income, as presented​​​​17,340​​​​​16,355​​
​Effect of non-interest tax-exempt income​​​​214​​​​​185​​
​Net securities gains​​​​0​​​​​0​​
​Adjusted net interest income plus non-interest income​​​$97,768​​​​$83,230​​
​Non-GAAP efficiency ratio​​​​52.09%​​​​​56.66%​​
​GAAP efficiency ratio​​​​53.77%​​​​​58.75%​​

Average Tangible Common Equity: The Company presents certain information based upon average tangible common shareholders’ equity instead of total average shareholders’ equity. The difference between these two measures is the Company’s intangible assets, specifically goodwill from prior acquisitions. Management, banking regulators and many stock analysts use the tangible common equity ratio and the tangible book value per common share in conjunction with more

traditional bank capital ratios to compare the capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of goodwill or other intangible assets, typically stemming from the use of the purchase accounting method in accounting for mergers and acquisitions. The following table provides a reconciliation of average tangible common shareholders’ equity to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP:

​

​ · ​ · ​ · ​ · Years ended December 31, · ​
​ · Dollars in thousands · ​ · ​ · 2025 · ​ · ​ · 2024 · ​
​Average shareholders’ equity as presented​​​$268,059​​​​$249,786​​
​Less intangible assets (average)​​​​(30,791)​​​​​(30,817)​​
​Average tangible common shareholders’ equity​​​$237,268​​​​$218,969​​

Pre-Tax, Pre-Provision Net Income and Earnings Ratios: To provide period-to-period comparison of operating results prior to consideration of credit loss provision and income taxes, the non-GAAP measure of Pre-Tax, Pre-Provision (PTPP) Net

Income is presented. The following table provides a reconciliation PTPP Net Income to Net Income and the resulting earnings ratios:
