For details on the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the GAAP financial measure, see the sections titled "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this release and "Appendix: Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation" in the accompanying slide presentation.

Additionally, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per common share for the next regularly scheduled dividend, payable on September 15, 2025 to shareholders of record as of September 2, 2025.
Archie Brown, President and CEO, commented on the quarter, "I am thrilled with our performance this quarter. We achieved record revenue of $226.3 million, which represents a 5% increase over the same quarter one year ago. This drove adjusted(1) earnings per share of $0.74, an adjusted(1) return on assets of 1.54% and an adjusted(1) return on tangible common equity of 20%. The Company's industry-leading profitability was once again driven by a robust net interest margin. Loan growth was 2% on an annualized basis, and we were pleased with broad-based growth in most portfolios, with the exception of commercial real estate, which declined due to accelerated payoffs. Payoffs have started to subside, and we expect higher loan growth in the second half of this year."
Mr. Brown continued, "We recorded adjusted(1) noninterest income of $67.8 million in the second quarter, which was an 11% increase over the linked quarter and a 10% increase over the second quarter of 2024. Growth in fees was broad-based, with mortgage, bankcard income, leasing business income and Bannockburn all increasing by double-digit percentages over the linked quarter. We were also pleased with our expense management, with adjusted(1) noninterest expenses increasing 1% compared to the first quarter. Excluding leasing business expenses, which continue to increase as our operating lease portfolio grows, adjusted(1) noninterest expenses increased by less than 2% year over year."
Mr. Brown commented on asset quality, "Asset quality was stable for the quarter. Net charge-offs declined 15 basis points from the first quarter to 21 basis points of total loans and classified asset balances were relatively flat. Our outlook for asset quality remains positive, and we expect net charge-offs to be in the 20-25 basis points range for the remainder of the year."
Mr. Brown discussed capital and an increase to the common dividend, "We are pleased with the strength of our capital levels. Regulatory ratios are very strong and TCE has continued to grow, increasing 16% over the last year to 8.40%. Tangible book value per share increased to $15.40, which was a 4% increase from the linked quarter and a 19% increase over the same period last year. We are also pleased to announce that our Board of Directors approved a $0.01, or 4.2%, increase in the common dividend to $0.25. The dividend payout remains approximately 35% of net income and continues to provide an attractive yield."
Mr. Brown concluded, "We are excited about our recent announcement to acquire Westfield Bank in Northeast Ohio and are actively engaged in the integration process. Appropriate applications have been filed with our regulators, and we continue to expect approval and closing to occur this year. In summary, we are very pleased with our second quarter and year to date financial performance and remain very excited about our outlook for the remainder of 2025 and beyond."

The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 21% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis. Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons. Management also uses these measures to make peer comparisons.

(1) The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 21% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard
practice in the banking industry to present net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis. Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make
peer comparisons. Management also uses these measures to make peer comparisons.
