<u>Item 2.02 - Results of Operations and Financial Condition</u>

On January 23, 2023, Park National Corporation ("Park") issued a news release (the "Financial Results News Release") announcing financial results for the three months (fourth quarter) and the twelve months (full year) ended December 31, 2022. A copy of the Financial Results News Release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K as well as the Financial Results News Release contain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or "U.S. GAAP") financial measures where management believes them to be helpful in understanding Park's results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, can be found in the Financial Results News Release.

***Items Impacting Comparability of Period Results***

From time to time, revenue, expenses and/or taxes are impacted by items judged by management of Park to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their outsized impact is believed by management of Park at that time to be infrequent or short-term in nature. Most often, these items impacting comparability of period results are due to merger and acquisition activities and revenue and expenses related to former Vision Bank loan relationships. In other cases, they may result from management's decisions associated with significant corporate actions outside of the ordinary course of business.

Even though certain revenue and expense items are naturally subject to more volatility than others due to changes in market and economic environment conditions, as a general rule volatility alone does not result in the inclusion of an item as one impacting comparability of period results. For example, changes in the provision for / (recovery of) credit losses (aside from those related to former Vision Bank loan relationships), gains (losses) on equity securities, net, and asset valuation adjustments, reflect ordinary banking activities and are, therefore, typically excluded from consideration as items impacting comparability of period results.

Management believes the disclosure of items impacting comparability of period results provides a better understanding of Park's performance and trends and allows management to ascertain which of such items, if any, to include or exclude from an analysis of Park's performance; i.e., within the context of determining how that performance differed from expectations, as well as how, if at all, to adjust estimates of future performance taking such items into account.

Items impacting comparability of the results of particular periods are not intended to be a complete list of items that may materially impact current or future period performance.

***Non-GAAP Financial Measures***

Park's management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate Park's performance. Specifically, management reviews the return on average tangible equity, the return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, tangible book value per share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income.

Management has included in the Financial Results News Release information relating to the annualized return on average tangible equity, the annualized return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, tangible book value per share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income for the three months ended and at December 31, 2022, September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and for the twelve months ended and at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. For the purpose of calculating the annualized return on average tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, net income for each period is divided by average tangible equity during the period. Average tangible equity equals average shareholders' equity during the applicable period less average goodwill and other intangible assets during the applicable period. For the purpose of calculating the annualized return on average tangible assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, net income for each period is divided by average tangible assets during the period. Average tangible assets equals average assets during the applicable period less average goodwill and other intangible assets during the applicable period. For the purpose of calculating the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, tangible equity is divided by tangible assets. Tangible equity equals total shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, in each case at period end. Tangible assets equal total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets, in each case at period end. For the purpose of calculating tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, tangible equity is divided by the number of common shares outstanding, in each case at period end. For the purpose of calculating pre-tax, pre-provision net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, income taxes and the provision for (recovery of) credit losses are added back to net income, in each case during the applicable period.

------

Management believes that the disclosure of the annualized return on average tangible equity, the annualized return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, tangible book value per share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income presents additional information to the reader of the consolidated financial statements, which, when read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, assists in analyzing Park's operating performance, ensures comparability of operating performance from period to period, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of Park's peer financial holding companies and bank holding companies, while eliminating certain non-operational effects of acquisitions. In the Financial Results News Release, Park has provided a reconciliation of average tangible equity to average shareholders' equity, average tangible assets to average assets, tangible equity to total shareholders' equity, tangible assets to total assets, and pre-tax, pre-provision net income to net income solely for the purpose of complying with SEC Regulation G and not as an indication that the annualized return on average tangible equity, the annualized return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, tangible book value per share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income are substitutes for the annualized return on average equity, the annualized return on average assets, the total shareholders' equity to total assets ratio, book value per share and net income, respectively, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

***FTE (fully taxable equivalent) Financial Measures***

Interest income, yields, and ratios on a FTE basis are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes net interest income on a FTE basis provides an insightful picture of the interest margin for comparison purposes. The FTE basis also allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The FTE basis assumes a corporate federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent. In the Financial Results News Release, Park has provided a reconciliation of FTE interest income solely for the purpose of complying with SEC Regulation G and not as an indication that FTE interest income, yields and ratios are substitutes for interest income, yields and ratios, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

***Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Loans***

Park originated $764.7 million in loans as part of the PPP. These loans are not typical of Park's loan portfolio in that they are part of a specific government program to support businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic and are 100% guaranteed by the Small Business Administration ("SBA"). As such, management considers growth in the loan portfolio excluding PPP loans, the total allowance for credit losses to total loans ratio (excluding PPP loans), and general reserve on collectively evaluated loans as a percentage of total collectively evaluated loans (excluding PPP loans) in addition to the related U.S. GAAP metrics which are not adjusted for PPP loans.

<u>Item 5.02 - Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers</u>

On January 23, 2023, Alicia J. Hupp, who currently serves in the class of directors of Park who terms will expire at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Park (the "2023 Annual Meeting"), notified Park that she has decided to retire and not stand for re-election to the Board of Directors of Park. Ms. Hupp's term as a director of Park will expire immediately prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting, which will be held on April 24, 2023. In addition, Alicia J. Hupp will retire as a director of Park's national bank subsidiary The Park National Bank ("PNB"), effective April 24, 2023, but will remain as a member of the advisory board of the West Central Division of PNB.

Ms. Hupp is retiring from the Park Board of Directors to focus on her business and philanthropic interests, not as a result of a disagreement with Park on any matter related to Park's operations, policies or practices.

Alicia J. Hupp has served as a member of the Board of Directors of Park since June 2015, as a member of the Board of Directors of PNB since January 2022 and as a member of the advisory board of the Security National Bank Division (part of the West Central Division since July 2020) of PNB since March 2012. Ms. Hupp has served as a member of each of the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Park Board of Directors. Ms. Hupp has been an advocate for PNB during her service as a board member. She will be recognized during Park's 2023 Annual Meeting for her dedicated service and superior counsel provided to both Park and PNB.

<u>Item 7.01 - Regulation FD Disclosure</u>

**<u>COVID-19 Considerations</u>**

During 2022 and 2021, Park provided calamity pay and special bonuses to certain associates related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The cost of the calamity pay and special bonuses was $747,000 and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and is included within salaries expense.

**Paycheck Protection Program:** During 2020 and 2021, Park approved and funded 7,701 loans totaling $764.7 million as part of the PPP. For its assistance in making and retaining these loans, Park received an aggregate of $33.1 million in fees from the SBA, of which $3.0 million and $16.3 million were recognized within loan interest income during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At December 31, 2022, the remaining balance of PPP loans was $4.2 million.

**Loan Modifications:** During the COVID-19 pandemic, Park has worked with borrowers and provided modifications in the form of either interest only deferral or principal and interest deferral, in each case, for initial periods of up to 90 days. As necessary, Park made available a second 90-day interest only deferral or principal and interest deferral bringing the total potential deferral period to six months. Modifications were structured in a manner to best address each individual customer's then current situation. A majority of these modifications were excluded from the troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") classification under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators. The modified loans were considered current and continued to accrue interest during the deferral period.

**<u>Financial Results by Segment</u>**

The table below reflects the net income (loss) by segment for each quarter of 2022 and for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Park's segments include PNB and "All Other" which primarily consists of Park as the "Parent Company", Guardian Financial Services Company ("GFSC") and SE Property Holdings, LLC ("SEPH").

(1) Park adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2021. The allowance for credit losses and the related provision for (recovery of) credit losses for all periods subsequent to the date of adoption were calculated utilizing this new guidance.

Net interest income of $350.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 represented a $22.2 million, or 6.8%, increase compared to $328.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was a result of a $37.5 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $15.3 million increase in interest expense.

The $37.5 million increase in interest income was primarily due to a $26.5 million increase in investment income and a $11.0 million increase in interest income on loans. The $26.5 million increase in investment income was primarily the result of a $254.1 million increase in average investments, including money market investments, from $2.00 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $2.26 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was also the result of an increase in the yield on investments, which increased 103 basis points to 2.56% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 1.53% for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in interest income on loans was primarily the result of a $176.9 million increase in averages loans, excluding PPP loans, from $6.75 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $6.93 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022, as well as an increase in the yield on loans, excluding PPP loans, which increased 26 basis points to 4.57% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 4.31% for the year ended December 31, 2021. These increases were partially offset by a $15.0 million decrease in interest and fee income from PPP loans, which was $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The $15.3 million increase in interest expense was primarily due to a $14.7 million increase in interest expense on deposits, as well as a $628,000 increase in interest expense on borrowings. The increase in interest expense on deposits was the result of a $108.2 million increase in average on-balance sheet interest bearing deposits from $5.25 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021, to $5.36 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022 as well as the result of an increase in the cost of deposits of 27 basis points, from 0.12% for the year ended December 31, 2021 to 0.39% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in on-balance sheet interest bearing deposits was due to increases in transaction accounts, which were partially offset by

------

decreases in both savings and time deposits. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, Park made the decision to continue its participation in a program to transfer deposits off-balance sheet in order to manage growth of the balance sheet.

The provision for credit losses of $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 represented a difference of $14.4 million, compared to a recovery of credit losses of $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Refer to the "Credit Metrics and Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses" section for additional details regarding the level of the provision for (recovery of) credit losses recognized in each period presented above.

Other income of $115.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 represented a decrease of $11.6 million, or 9.1%, compared to $126.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The $11.6 million decrease was primarily related to a $14.8 million decrease in other service income, which was primarily due to declines in fee income from mortgage loan originations and mortgage servicing rights, partially offset increases in investor rate locks and mortgage loans held for sale. The decrease was also related to (i) a $1.7 million decrease in gain on equity securities, net; (ii) a $390,000 decrease in other miscellaneous income; and (iii) a $358,000 decrease in fiduciary income. These decreases were partially offset by increases of (i) $3.9 million in other components of net periodic benefit income; and (ii) $1.3 million in income from service charges on deposit accounts.

A summary of mortgage loan originations for each quarter of 2022 and 2021 and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 follows.

Total other expense of $283.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 represented an increase of $17.0 million, or 6.4%, compared to $266.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in salaries expense was primarily related to increases in base salary expense and vacation accrual expense. The decrease in employee benefits expense was primarily related to a decrease in group insurance expense, partially offset by increases in payroll tax expense and other employee benefits, including retirement benefit expense. The increase in occupancy expense was primarily related to an increase in rental lease expense, including an impairment charge related to a leased office location. The increase in furniture and equipment expense was primarily related to an increase in depreciation expense. The increase in data processing fees was primarily related to an increase in software data processing expense, partially offset by a decrease in debit card processing expense. The increase in professional fees and services expense was primarily due to increases in legal expense, other fees and recruiting fees. The decrease in marketing expense was due to a decrease in advertising expenses. The increase in miscellaneous expense was due to increased expense for the allowance for unfunded lines of credit and increased training and travel-related expenses, which were partially offset by a decrease in operating lease depreciation expense.

(1) Park adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2021. The allowance for credit losses and the related recovery of credit losses for all periods subsequent to the date of adoption were calculated utilizing this new guidance.

The net interest (expense) income for All Other included, for all periods presented, interest income on subordinated debt investments in PNB, which was eliminated in the consolidated Park National Corporation totals, as well as interest income on GFSC loans and SEPH impaired loan relationships. The net interest (expense) income for All Other also included interest expense on $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 issued by Park in August 2020 (the "Park Subordinated Notes").

Net interest (expense) income reflected net interest expense of $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to net interest income of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The change was largely the result of a decrease of $4.2 million in loan interest income related to payment collections at SEPH and a decrease of $929,000 in net interest income

------

from GFSC, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on borrowings of $58,000 mainly related to the Park Subordinated Notes.

Refer to the "Credit Metrics and Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses" section for additional information regarding the All Other loan portfolio and the level of recovery of credit losses recognized in each period presented.

All Other had other income of $20.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The change was largely due to (i) a $12.0 million increase in income from an OREO valuation markup; (ii) a $5.6 million increase in gain on the sale of OREO, net; (iii) a $749,000 increase in income from bank owned life insurance, mainly related to a death benefit payout; and (iv) a $304,000 increase in gain on equity securities carried at fair value or modified cost, which went from a $361,000 gain for the year ended December 31, 2021 to a $665,000 gain for the year ended December 31, 2022. The forgoing increases were partially offset by a $594,000 decrease in income due to an OREO devaluation and a $634,000 decrease in income related to partnership investments, which went from a $857,000 gain for the year ended December 31, 2021 to a $223,000 gain for the year ended December 31, 2022.

All Other had other expense of $14.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $16.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was largely due to (i) a $715,000 decrease in salaries expense, (ii) a $460,000 decrease in occupancy expense, (iii) a $408,000 decrease in professional fees and services, (iv) a $284,000 decrease in employee benefits expense and (v) a $280,000 decrease in other insurance expense.

Individually evaluated loans were $78.3 million at December 31, 2022, a $3.8 million, or 5.2%, increase compared to $74.5 million at December 31, 2021.

The allowance for credit losses of $85.4 million at December 31, 2022 represented a $1.4 million, or 1.7%, increase compared to $84.0 million at September 30, 2022. The increase was largely due to a $1.8 million increase in specific reserves, partially offset by a $398,000 decrease in general reserves, taking into consideration changing economic forecasts while balancing the ongoing risks associated with inflation and other economic risks. Individually evaluated loans were $78.3 million at December 31, 2022, a $34.7 million, or 79.4%, increase compared to $43.7 million at September 30, 2022. The increase in individually evaluated loans was largely due to a $23.0 million structured warehouse credit which was placed on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2022. This credit did not have a specific reserve associated with it as of December 31, 2022.
