About Non-GAAP Financial Measures Certain of the financial measures and ratios we present, including “tangible assets,” “average tangible assets,” “return on average tangible assets,” “tangible common equity,” “average tangible common equity,” “return on average tangible common equity,” “tangible common equity to tangible assets,” “loan marks/total loans,” “total loan loss coverage including loan marks,” “net interest income, FTE,” “net interest margin, FTE,” “adjusted non-interest expense,” “non-interest expense adjusted for other intangible asset amortization and acquisition-related expenses,” “non-interest expense, adjusted for acquisition-related expenses,” “efficiency ratio FTE,” “efficiency ratio adjusted for other intangible asset amortization and acquisition-related expenses FTE,” “adjusted net income,” “adjusted earnings per share – diluted,” “net income adjusted for the impact of other intangible asset amortization expense and acquisition-related expenses, after tax,” “net income excluding other intangible asset amortization, after tax,” “net income excluding the impact other intangible asset amortization, after tax,” “adjusted return on average tangible assets,” “adjusted return on average tangible common equity,” “pre-provision net revenue,” “pre-provision net revenue, FTE,” and “pre-provision net revenue FTE, adjusted for acquisition-related expenses,” are supplemental measures that are not required by, nor presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We refer to these financial measures and ratios as “non-GAAP financial measures.” We consider the use of select non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to be useful for financial and operational decision making and useful in evaluating period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or assets that we believe are not indicative of our primary business operating results or by presenting certain metrics on a fully taxable equivalent basis. We believe that management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, analyzing and comparing past, present and future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and you should not rely on non-GAAP financial measures alone as measures of our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures we present may differ from non-GAAP financial measures used by our peers or other companies. We compensate for these limitations by providing the equivalent GAAP measures whenever we present the non-GAAP financial measures and by including a reconciliation of the impact of the components adjusted for in the non-GAAP financial measure so that both measures and the individual components may be considered when analyzing our performance. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the appendix. 3

Strategic Rationale  Cambr is a deposit acquisition and processing platform that is designed to (i) service banks (“Banks of Record”) in recordkeeping for core deposits received via exclusive relationships with embedded finance companies and (ii) allocate customer deposits in excess of FDIC insurance to other insured depository institutions to maximize insurance for customers.  Cambr has relationships with leading embedded finance companies and their partner banks to provide them these deposit services.  Cambr allocates these deposits to a network of banks.  Cambr generates revenue through a revenue share based on the interest income derived from the bank network.
