Loan yields benefited from Fed interest rate increases. $718 million in loans repriced with avg. increase of 129 bps. • As a result of a higher level of borrowings at December 31, 2022, the balance sheet has shifted to be more liability sensitive. • Net interest income would likely decrease by 2% in an instantaneous 100 bps rate rise while increasing approximately 1% in a 100 bps rate decline. In a ramped scenario, where rates move up or down 100 basis points over a 12-month period, NII is relatively neutral, decreasing approximately 1% in a 100 bps rate rise or fall.

The non-GAAP disclosure have limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for performance and financial condition measures determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Meridian's results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
