Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in CVBF's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (<u>[available here](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1053352/000155837025002516/htbk-20241231x10k.htm)</u>) and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are on file with the SEC and available on CVBF's website at http://www.cbbank.com under the "Investors" tab, and in other documents CVBF files with the SEC, and in Heritage's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (<u>[available here](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1053352/000155837025002516/htbk-20241231x10k.htm)</u>) and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are on file with the SEC and available on Heritage's website, www.heritagecommercecorp.com, under the "Investor Relations" tab and in other documents Heritage files with the SEC, and in each case, in particular, the discussion of "*Risk Factors*" set forth in such filings.

stock price on December 16, 2025. The value of the transaction is based on a specified closing price and is subject to CVBF stock

price fluctuations. Upon completion, the combination is expected to create a top-performing California business bank with

approximately $22 billion in assets, more than 75 offices and branches, and a deeply rooted presence in the State's key economic

centers. The proposed merger has been unanimously approved by the respective Boards of Directors of both companies and is

expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals, Heritage and Citizens shareholder

approvals, and other closing conditions. For more information, please refer to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with

the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 17, 2025.

**Reclassifications**

During the first quarter of 2025, we reclassified Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") stock

dividends from interest income to noninterest income and the related average asset balances were reclassified from interest earning

assets to other assets on the *"Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin"* tables. The amounts for the prior periods were reclassified

to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications did not affect previously reported net income or shareholders' equity.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

Financial results are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP")

and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios are used by

management to evaluate and measure the Company's performance. These measures include "adjusted" operating metrics that have

been adjusted to exclude notable expenses incurred in the second and fourth quarters of 2025 as well as other performance measures

and ratios adjusted for notable items. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance comparability between

periods and in some instances are common in the banking industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should be supplemental to

primary GAAP financial measures and should not be read in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for primary GAAP financial

measures. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is presented in the tables at the end of this press release under

*"Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."*

**Forward-Looking Statement Disclaimer**

Certain matters discussed in this press release constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain in that they reflect plans and

expectations for future events. These statements may include, among other things, those relating to the Company's future financial

performance, plans and objectives regarding future events, expectations regarding changes in interest rates and market conditions,

projected cash flows of our investment securities portfolio, the performance of our loan portfolio, loan growth, expenses, net interest

margin, estimated net interest income resulting from a shift in interest rates, expectation of high credit quality issuers ability to repay,

as well as statements relating to the anticipated effects on the Company's financial condition and results of operations from expected

developments or events. Any statements that reflect our belief about, confidence in, or expectations for future events, performance or

condition should be considered forward-looking statements. Readers should not construe these statements as assurances of a given

level of performance, nor as promises that we will take actions that we currently expect to take. All statements are subject to various

risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control and some of which may fall outside our ability to predict or anticipate.

Accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from our projected results, and we may take actions or experience events that we

do not currently expect. Risks and uncertainties that could cause our financial performance to differ materially from our goals, plans,

expectations and projections expressed in forward-looking statements include those set forth in our filings with the Securities and

Exchange Commission, Item 1A of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and

include: (i) cybersecurity risks that may affect us directly or may impact us indirectly by virtue of their effects on our clients, markets

or vendors, including our ability to identify and address cybersecurity risks, including those posed by the increasing use of artificial

intelligence (such as, but not limited to, ransomware, data security breaches, "denial of service" attacks, "hacking" and identity theft)

affecting us, our clients, and our third-party vendors and service providers; (ii) events that affect our ability to attract, recruit, and

retain qualified officers and other personnel to implement our strategic plan, and that enable current and future personnel to protect

and develop our relationships with clients, and to promote our business, results of operations and growth prospects; (iii) media items

and consumer confidence as those factors affect our clients' confidence in the banking system generally and in our bank specifically;

(iv) adequacy of our risk management framework, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting;

(v) market, geographic and sociopolitical factors that arise by virtue of the fact that we operate primarily in the general San Francisco

Bay Area of Northern California; (vi) risks of geographic concentration of our client base, our loans, and the collateral securing our

loans, as those clients and assets may be particularly subject to natural disasters and to events and conditions that directly or indirectly

affect those regions, including the particular risks of natural disasters (including earthquakes, fires, and flooding) and other events that

disproportionately affect that region; (vii) political events that have accompanied or that may in the future accompany or result from

recent political changes, particularly including the imposition of tariffs, sociopolitical events and conditions that result from political

conflicts and law enforcement activities that may adversely affect our markets or our clients; (viii) our ability to estimate accurately,

and to establish adequate reserves against, the risk of loss associated with our loan and lease portfolios and our factoring business;

(ix) inflationary pressures and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins and yields, the fair value of financial

instruments or our level of loan originations, or increase the level of defaults, losses and prepayments on loans to clients, whether held

in the portfolio or in the secondary market; (x) factors that affect the value and liquidity of our investment portfolios, particularly the

values of securities available-for-sale; (xi) factors that affect our liquidity and our ability to meet client demands for withdrawals from

deposit accounts and undrawn lines of credit, including our cash on hand and the availability of funds from our own lines of credit;

(xii) increased capital requirements for our continual growth or as imposed by banking regulators, which may require us to raise

capital at a time when capital is not available on favorable terms or at all; (xiii) the expense and uncertain resolution of litigation

matters whether occurring in the ordinary course of business or otherwise, particularly including but not limited to the effects of recent

and ongoing developments in California labor and employment laws, regulations and court decisions; (xiv) operational issues

stemming from, and/or capital spending necessitated by, the potential need to adapt to industry changes in information technology

systems, on which we are highly dependent; and (xv) our success in managing the risks involved in the foregoing factors. In addition,

statements regarding the timing and impact of the closing of the proposed merger with Citizens are subject to risks and uncertainties.

For more information on factors that could cause our expectations regarding the proposed merger with Citizens to differ, potentially

materially, please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 17,

2025. Member FDIC

**RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES**

Management considers adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which exclude the $9.2 million of pre-tax charges

primarily related to a legal settlement in the second quarter of 2025 and $2.1 million of pre-tax merger-related costs in the fourth

quarter of 2025, for the year ended December 31, 2025, as a useful measurement of the Company's profitability compared to other

periods presented.

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded pre-tax expenses of $9.2 million included in the other noninterest expense

on the Company's consolidated income statement, primarily due to charges related to the settlement of certain litigation matters,

including the anticipated settlement of a previously disclosed class action and California Private Attorneys General Act ("PAGA")

lawsuit that alleged the violation of certain California wage-and-hour and related laws and regulations, and charges related to the

planned closure of a Bank branch. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recorded pre-tax expenses of $2.1 million included

in the other noninterest expense on the Company's consolidated income statement, primarily due to charges related to investment

banker and legal fees resulting from the pending merger with CVBF. Certain merger-related costs are not tax deductible.

The following table summarizes components of net income and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated:

Management reviews yields on certain asset categories and the net interest margin of the Company on an FTE basis. In this non-

GAAP presentation, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on an equivalent before-tax basis using tax

rates effective as of the end of the period. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-

exempt sources. The following tables summarize components of FTE net interest income of the Company for the periods indicated:

Forward Looking Statement Disclaimer and Basis of Presentation • This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 about Heritage Bank (the "Bank") and its holding company, Heritage Commerce Corp (the "Company"). Forward-looking statements are based on management's knowledge, assumptions and beliefs as of today and include information concerning the possible or assumed future financial condition, results of operations, business and earnings outlook for the Company and the Bank. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of risk factors which could cause results to differ, please see the Company's reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company's press releases. For more information on factors that could cause our expectations regarding the proposed merger with CVB Financial Corp. to differ, potentially materially, please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 17, 2025. Readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which reflect management's view only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward- looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. • Financial results are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, certain non-GAAP performance measures and ratios are used by management to evaluate and measure the Company's performance. These measures include "adjusted" operating metrics that have been adjusted to exclude notable expenses incurred in the second and fourth quarters of 2025 as well as other performance measures and ratios adjusted for notable items. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance comparability between periods and in some instances are common in the banking industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should be supplemental to primary GAAP financial measures and should not be read in isolation or relied upon as a substitute for primary GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are also presented in the Company's Fourth quarter earnings release, which is available on the Company's website at https://heritagecommercecorp.com. 2
