. . .Management 2024 Outlook 21 Loans Deposits Operating Expenses Net Interest Income Capital • We expect low to mid-single digit annualized growth in Q4-24. • Maintain loan-to-deposit ratio ~100% for the entire year. • Continued mix shift may pressure funding costs. Low to mid-single digit annualized growth in Q4-24 Growth consistent with loan growth Increase to run-rate Stabilization / inflection upward in Q4-24 Robust CET1 ratio (>10%) Guidance Key Assumptions / Commentary • Increase of approximately $5 million per quarter from two tactical non-bank acquisitions. • Both acquisitions expected to be accretive to earnings no later than Q1-25 with minimal TBV dilution. • We expect to maintain our common equity tier 1 ratio above 10%. • Further share repurchases dependent on other capital deployment opportunities. • Stabilization is subject to interest rates, loan growth, and funding trends. • Stable to modest improvement subject to expected growth and interest rate trends. Other Income Growth in Q4-24 • Growth subject to production volumes and gain on sale in mortgage banking, resulting from $2-3 million increased quarterly expenses related to one acquisition.
