Drivers of Growth & Profitability

------

![](fbiz4q22investorpresenta011.jpg)

• Robust Loan Growth. Loans, excluding net Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, grew $114.2 million, or 19.6% annualized, from the third quarter of 2022 and $230.4 million, or 10.4%, from the fourth quarter of 2021, reflecting balanced growth across the Company's commercial and industrial ("C&I") and commercial real estate ("CRE") portfolios. • Strong Deposit Growth. Total deposits grew to $2.168 billion, increasing 15.5% annualized from the linked quarter and 10.7% from the fourth quarter of 2021. In-market deposits grew to $1.966 billion, up $36.7 million, or 7.6% annualized, from the linked quarter. • Record Net Interest Income. Net interest income grew to a record $27.5 million, increasing $1.6 million, or 6.1%, from the linked quarter and $6.5 million, or 31.2%, from the prior year quarter. This was driven by a combination of 11.6% annualized increase in average loans and leases as well as a record net interest margin of 4.15%. • Exceptional Asset Quality. Continued positive asset quality trends resulted in non-performing assets of $3.8 million, measuring a historic low of 0.13% of total assets and improving from 0.25% of total assets on December 31, 2021. • Tangible Book Value Growth. The Company's strong earnings generation produced a 17.0% annualized increase in tangible book value per share compared to the linked quarter and 8.6% compared to the prior year quarter. • Dividend Return. The Company announced a 15% increase in quarterly common stock dividend. This increase reflects high-quality earnings growth and a favorable outlook. • Stock Buyback. Effective January 27, 2023, the Company's board of directors authorized the repurchase by the Company of shares of its common stock with a maximum aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million. 11 Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights Loan growth, net interest margin expansion, and strong asset quality support continued tangible book value growth

APPENDIX Non-GAAP Reconciliations

"Base Net Interest Margin" is a non-GAAP measure representing net interest income excluding the fees in lieu of interest and other recurring, but volatile, components of net interest margin divided by average interest-earning assets less average net PPP loans, if any, and other recurring, but volatile, components of average interest-earning assets. Fees in lieu of interest are defined as prepayment fees, asset-based loan fees, non-accrual interest, and loan fee amortization. In the judgment of the Company's management, the adjustments made to net interest income allow investors and analysts to better assess the Company's net interest income in relation to its core client-facing loan and deposit rate changes by removing the volatility that is associated with these recurring but volatile components. The information provided below reconciles the net interest margin to its most comparable GAAP measure. For the Three Months Ended (Dollars in Thousands) December 31, 2021 September 30, 2022 December 31, 2022 Interest income $23,576 $31,786 $38,319 Interest expense 2,652 5,902 10,867 Net interest income(a) 20,924 25,884 27,452 Less fees in lieu of interest 1,700 807 1,318 Less PPP loan interest income 134 11 5 Less FRB interest income and FHLB dividend income 179 445 613 Adjusted net interest income(b) $18,911 $24,621 $25,516 Average interest-earning assets(c) $2,472,013 $2,582,945 $2,649,149 Less Average PPP loans 52,923 4,505 2,133 Less Average FRB cash and FHLB stock 71,939 45,351 50,522 Less Average non-accrual loans and leases 6,796 4,416 3,591 Adjusted average interest-earning assets(d) $2,340,355 $2,528,673 $2,592,903 Net interest margin(a / c) 3.39 % 4.01 % 4.15 % Base net interest margin(b / d) 3.23 % 3.89 % 3.94 % 34 Base Net Interest Margin Non-GAAP Reconciliation

"Pure Net Interest Income" is defined as net interest income less fees in lieu of interest. "Fees in Lieu of Interest" is defined as prepayment fees, asset-based loan fees, non-accrual interest, and loan fee amortization. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the trends in our net interest margin. In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled to net interest income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. For the Year Ended (Dollars in Thousands) December 31, 2019 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2022 Net interest income $69,856 $77,071 $84,662 $98,422 Less fees in lieu of interest 6,479 9,315 11,160 5,283 Pure net interest income (non-GAAP) $63,377 $67,756 $73,502 $93,139 35 Pure Net Interest Income Non-GAAP Reconciliation

"Net Operating Income" is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe net operating income allows investors to better assess the Company's operating expenses in relation to its top line revenue by removing the volatility that is associated with certain one-time and other discrete items. In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. (Dollars in thousands) December 31, 2019 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2022 Net income $23,324 $16,978 $35,755 $40,858 Less income tax expense (1,175) (1,327) (11,275) (11,386) Less provision for loan and lease losses (2,085) (16,808) 5,803 3,868 Income before taxes and provision for loan and lease losses (non-GAAP) 26,584 35,113 41,227 48,376 Less non-operating income Net gain on sale of state tax credits — 275 — — BOLI death benefit — — — 809 Net (loss) gain on sale of securities (46) (4) 29 — Total non-operating income (non-GAAP) (46) 271 29 809 Less non-operating expense Net loss on foreclosed properties 224 383 15 49 Amortization of other intangible assets 40 35 25 — BOLI death benefit — — — 809 SBA recourse (benefit) provision 188 (278) (76) (188) Tax credit investment impairment (recovery) 4,094 2,395 — (351) Loss on early extinguishment of debt — 744 — — Total non-operating expense (non-GAAP) 4,546 3,279 (36) 319 Add net tax credit benefit (non-GAAP) 1,352 969 — 338 Net operating income $32,528 $39,090 $41,162 $48,224 36 Net Operating Income Non-GAAP Reconciliation
