I am proud to say that our full year 2022 results have exceeded our expectations as we grew our loan portfolio 23.9%, improved our return on average assets 24 bps to 1.05% and increased diluted earnings per share 56% to $2.61. With these results and momentum, I am excited to lead our Bank into its next centennial and I am delighted to honor the women and men who have shaped Amalgamated's 100 year-old history."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $24.8 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared to $22.9 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022. The $1.9 million increase for the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily due to an $0.7 million decrease in non-interest expense, a $0.9 million decrease in provision for loan losses, and a $1.3 million decrease in income tax expense related to an elected change in taxable income recognition, offset by a $0.3 million decrease in net interest income, a $0.8 million decrease in non-interest income. Core net income excluding the impact of solar tax equity investments (non-GAAP)1 for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $27.2 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared to $24.8 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2022. Excluded from core net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $1.4 million of pre-tax losses on the sale of securities and $1.7 million of accelerated depreciation from our solar tax equity investments. Excluded from the third quarter of 2022 was $1.8 million of pre-tax losses on the sale of securities, $0.6 million of pre-tax gains on subordinated debt repurchases, and $1.3 million of accelerated depreciation from our solar tax investments. Presentation excluding the temporary effect of the tax credits and accelerated depreciation of our solar tax equity investments isolates the financial statement volatility associated with these investments. Net interest income was $67.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $67.6 million for the third quarter of 2022. The $0.3 million decrease from the preceding quarter reflected increased interest expense on deposits of $3.2 million driven by a 40 basis point increase in interest-bearing deposit costs, and $4.8 million in increased interest expense from borrowings, primarily related to interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The increase in interest expense was offset by higher interest income on securities of $4.0 million, driven by a 73 basis point increase in securities yield, and loan interest income which increased by $4.2 million, driven by a $283.9 million increase in average loan balance, and a 13 basis point increase in loan yields. Net interest margin was 3.56% for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of six basis points from 3.50% in the third quarter of 2022. Increases in yields on interest-earning assets were offset by increased rates and average balances of interest-bearing liabilities, particularly due to an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Prepayment penalties earned in loan income contributed one basis point to our net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to four basis points in the third quarter of 2022. Provision for loan losses totaled an expense of $4.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to an expense of $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in provision expense in the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily related to $1.6 million in charge-offs related to nonperforming loans that were transferred to held for sale in the previous quarter and subsequently sold in the current quarter. Adjusted, our provision for loan losses in the current quarter increased by $0.6 million related to higher loan balances, increases in certain specific reserves, and elevated charge-offs in consumer solar loans. Core non-interest income excluding the impact of solar tax equity investments (non-GAAP)1 was $7.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $7.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. The decrease of $0.2 million was primarily driven by slightly lower Trust Department fees, a $0.2 million loss on the disposition of other real estate owned, and a $0.6 million loss on the sale of nonperforming held for sale loans, mostly offset by increased business banking fees and one-time beneficiary income on bank-owned life insurance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Core non-interest expense (non-GAAP)1 for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $35.6 million, a decrease of $0.7 million from the third quarter of 2022. This was primarily driven by a $1.5 million decrease in professional fees, offset by a $0.5 million increase in advertising and promotion expense, and increased other expenses related to recruiting services. Our provision for income tax expense was $6.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $8.1 million for the third quarter of 2022. Our effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 21.6%, compared to 26.0% for the third quarter of 2022. The decrease in tax expense was related to an elected change in taxable income recognition. Without the change in election, our effective tax rate was 26.1%. Balance Sheet Quarterly Summary Total assets were $7.8 billion at December 31, 2022, compared to $7.9 billion at September 30, 2022. Notable changes within individual balance sheet line items include a $96.1 million decrease in investment securities, $231.8 million increase in loans receivable, net, a $167.1 million decrease in resell agreements, a $565.3 million decrease in deposits, and an increase in borrowed funds of $505.0 million. Total loans receivable, net of allowance and deferred fees and costs, at December 31, 2022 were $4.1 billion, an increase of $231.8 million, or 6.1%, compared to September 30, 2022. The increase in loans is primarily driven by a $120.6 million increase in commercial and industrial loans, an $82.7 million increase in multifamily loans, and a $39.8 million increase in residential loans, offset by a $3.8 million decrease in consumer and other loans, a $1.3 million decrease in construction and land development loans, and a $2.9 million decrease in commercial real estate loans as we continue to reduce that asset class exposure. Our continued focus on credit quality improvement resulted in $12.7 million of payoffs of criticized or classified loans in the quarter. Deposits at December 31, 2022 were $6.6 billion, a decrease of $565.3 million, or 7.9%, as compared to $7.2 billion as of September 30, 2022. Deposits held by politically active customers, such as campaigns, PACs, advocacy-based organizations, and state and national party committees were $643.6 million as of December 31, 2022, a decrease of $513.7 million compared to $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2022. The decline in political deposits is related to the conclusion of congressional elections in the fourth quarter of 2022 and is in-line with expectations we shared in the previous quarter. Non-interest-bearing deposits represent 53% of average deposits and 51% of ending deposits for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, contributing to an average cost of deposits of 34 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2022. Nonperforming assets totaled $34.8 million, or 0.4% of period-end total assets at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $19.5 million, compared with $54.3 million, or 0.7% on a linked quarter basis. The decrease in nonperforming assets was primarily driven by the sale of $10.2 million of restructured loans held for sale, and $12.7 million in payoffs of criticized or classified loans. The allowance for loan losses increased $2.9 million to $45.0 million at December 31, 2022 from $42.1 million at September 30, 2022, primarily due to higher loan balances. At December 31, 2022, we had $27.8 million of impaired loans for which a specific allowance of $5.7 million was made, compared to $38.2 million of impaired loans at September 30, 2022 for which a specific allowance of $5.2 million was made. The ratio of allowance to total loans was 1.10% at December 31, 2022 and 1.09% at September 30, 2022.

Stockholders' equity at December 31, 2022 was $509.0 million, compared to $487.7 million at September 30, 2022. The increase in stockholders' equity was primarily driven by $24.8 million of net income, partially offset by $3.2 million in dividends. There was no significant change during the quarter to the accumulated other comprehensive loss due to the tax effected mark-to-market on our securities portfolio. Our tangible book value per share (non-GAAP)1 was $16.05 as of December 31, 2022 compared to $15.37 as of September 30, 2022, primarily a result of $24.8 million of net income in the quarter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release (and the accompanying financial information and tables) refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures including, without limitation, "Core operating revenue," "Core non-interest expense," "Core net income," "Tangible common equity," "Average tangible common equity," "Core return on average assets," "Core return on average tangible common equity," and "Core efficiency ratio." Our management utilizes this information to compare our operating performance for December 31, 2022 versus certain periods in 2022 and 2021 and to prepare internal projections. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate making period-to-period comparisons and are meaningful indications of our operating performance. In addition, because intangible assets such as goodwill and other discrete items unrelated to our core business, which are excluded, vary extensively from company to company, we believe that the presentation of this information allows investors to more easily compare our results to those of other companies. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information, however, is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. We strongly encourage readers to review the GAAP financial measures included in this release and not to place undue reliance upon any single financial measure. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial disclosures to comparable GAAP measures found in this release are set forth in the final pages of this release and also may be viewed on our website, amalgamatedbank.com. Terminology Certain terms used in this release are defined as follows: "Core efficiency ratio" is defined as "Core non-interest expense" divided by "Core operating revenue." We believe the most directly comparable performance ratio derived from GAAP financial measures is an efficiency ratio calculated by dividing total non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income and total non-interest income. "Core efficiency ratio excluding solar tax impact" is defined as "Core non-interest expense" divided by "Core operating revenue excluding solar tax impact." We believe the most directly comparable performance ratio derived from GAAP financial measures is an efficiency ratio calculated by dividing total non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income and total non-interest income. "Core net income" is defined as net income after tax excluding gains and losses on sales of securities, gains on the sale of owned property, costs related to branch closures, restructuring/severance costs, acquisition costs, and taxes on notable pre- tax items. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income. "Core net income excluding solar tax impact" is defined as net income after tax excluding gains and losses on sales of securities, gains on the sale of owned property, costs related to branch closures, restructuring/severance costs, acquisition costs, tax credits and accelerated depreciation on solar equity investments, and taxes on notable pre-tax items. We believe the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is net income.

3 Safe Harbor Statements cont. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures including, without limitation, "Core Operating Revenue," "Core Non-interest Expense," "Tangible Common Equity," "Average Tangible Common Equity," "Core Efficiency Ratio," "Core Net Income," "Core ROAA," and "Core ROATCE." We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP. Specifically, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures (a) allow management and investors to better assess our performance by removing volatility that is associated with discrete items that are unrelated to our core business, and (b) enable a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Non-GAAP financial measures, however, have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for GAAP financial measures, and we strongly encourage investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this presentation and not to place undue reliance on any single financial measure. In addition, because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this presentation with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial disclosures to what we believe to be the most directly comparable GAAP measures found in this presentation are set forth in the final pages of this presentation and also may be viewed on the bank's website, amalgamatedbank.com. You should assume that all numbers presented are unaudited unless otherwise noted.
