Some of the financial measures included in this presentation are not measures of financial performance recognized by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include “tangible common equity to tangible assets,” “tangible book value per share,” and “return on average tangible common equity.” Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of our performance and believes these are helpful to investors as an additional tool for further understanding our performance. The following table reconciles shareholders’ equity (on a GAAP basis) to tangible common equity and total assets (on a GAAP basis) to tangible assets, calculates our tangible book value per share, and reconciles return on average tangible common equity to its most comparable GAAP measure: Non-GAAP Reconciliation: Tangible Common Equity and Tangible Assets Note: Historical financial data is not presented pro forma reflecting the acquisition of FAIT completed on October 15, 2018 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)   As of and for the twelve months ended December 31,         2012   2013   2014   2015   2016   2017   2018 Tangible Common Equity: Total Shareholders' Equity $108,113 $137,992 $151,981 $163,645 $181,585 $265,176 $375,311 Adjustments Goodwill (789) (4,001) (4,001) (4,001) (29,940) (29,940) (59,128) Core Deposit Intangible - (714) (582) (466) (1,793) (1,438) (7,865) Tangible Common Equity $107,324 $133,277 $147,398 $159,178 $149,852 $233,798 $308,318 Tangible Assets: Total Assets - GAAP 576,484 723,410 925,891 1,023,084 1,395,551 1,691,059 2,975,751 Adjustments Goodwill (789) (4,001) (4,001) (4,001) (29,940) (29,940) (59,128) Core Deposit Intangible - (714) (582) (466) (1,793) (1,438) (7,865) Tangible Assets $575,695 $718,695 $921,308 $1,018,617 $1,363,818 $1,659,681 $2,908,758 Common Shares Outstanding 10,455,135 12,547,201 12,720,659 12,770,571 12,827,803 15,908,893 20,000,022 Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets Ratio 18.64% 18.54% 16.00% 15.63% 10.99% 14.09% 10.59% Tangible Book Value Per Share $10.27 $10.62 $11.59 $12.46 $11.68 $14.70 $15.42 Average Tangible Common Equity: Average Shareholders' Equity $90,872 $124,103 $145,781 $157,615 $172,140 $218,717 $296,870 Adjustments Goodwill (789) (2,804) (4,001) (4,001) (25,167) (29,940) (31,086) Core Deposit Intangible - (479) (649) (526) (1,779) (1,620) (1,483) Average Tangible Common Equity $90,083 $120,820 $141,131 $153,088 $145,194 $187,157 $264,301 Net Income Available to Common Shareholders $4,046 $7,004 $10,428 $12,973 $19,079 $25,528 $36,796 Return on Average Tangible Common Equity 4.49% 5.80% 7.39% 8.47% 13.14% 13.64% 13.92%

Some of the financial measures included in this presentation and in forms 10-Q & 10-K filed with the SEC differ from those reported on the FRB Y-9(c) report. These financial measures include “core deposits to total deposits.” Our management uses this financial measure in its analysis of our performance. The Bank measures core deposits by reviewing all relationships over $250,000 on a quarterly basis. After discussions with our regulators on the proper way to measure core deposits, we now track all deposit relationships over $250,000 on a quarterly basis and consider a relationship to be core if there are any three or more of the following: (i) relationships with us (as a director or shareholder); (ii) deposits within our market area; (iii) additional non-deposit services with us; (iv) electronic banking services with us; (v) active demand deposit account with us; (vi) deposits at market interest rates; and (vii) longevity of the relationship with us. We consider all deposit relationships under $250,000 as a core relationship except for time deposits originated through an internet service. This differs from the traditional definition of core deposits which is demand and savings deposits plus time deposits less than $250,000. As many of our customers have more than $250,000 on deposit with us, we believe that using this method reflects a more accurate assessment of our deposit base. The following table reconciles the adjusted core deposit to total deposits: Regulatory Reporting to Financial Statements: Adjusted Core Deposits All demand and savings deposits of any amount plus time deposits less than $250,000 Time deposits to core customers over $250,000 as defined in the lead-in to the table above Comprised of internet and outside deposit originator time deposits less than $250,000 which are not considered to be core deposits Comprised of demand and savings deposits in relationships over $250,000 which are considered non-core deposits because they do not satisfy the definition of core deposits set forth in the lead-in to the table above (Dollars in thousands)   As of and for the twelve months ended December 31,         2012   2013   2014   2015   2016   2017   2018 Core Deposits¹ $315,943 $422,252 $507,376 $567,980 $781,940 $990,824 $1,670,572 Adjustments to Core Deposits Time Deposits > $250,000 Considered as Core Deposits² 82,373 118,756 115,572 174,038 325,453 180,751 468,773 Less: Internet and Other Deposit Originator Deposits < $250,000 Considered Non-Core³ - - (44,562) (21,418) (30,971) (29,467) (18,286) Less: Brokered Deposits - - - - - - (113,832) Less: Other Deposits Not Considered Core⁴ - - - (70,759) (171,800) (136,943) (52,002) Adjusted Core Deposits $398,316 $541,008 $578,386 $649,841 $904,622 $1,005,165 $1,955,225 Total Deposits 442,678 574,079 767,365 853,417 1,152,763 1,337,281 2,144,041 Adjusted Core Deposits to Total Deposits Ratio 89.98% 94.24% 75.37% 76.15% 78.47% 75.16% 91.19%

How We Measure Core Deposits Demand Deposits Savings Deposits Time Deposits < $250,000 Relationship with RBB Director or shareholder? Deposits within the Bank’s market area? Additional non-deposit services with the Bank? Electronic banking services with the Bank? Active demand deposit account with the Bank? Deposits at market interest rates? Relationship with the Bank have longevity? > $250,000? if yes, if yes, if yes, if yes, if yes, if yes, if yes, RBB reviews all deposits over $250K on a quarterly basis Core deposits are traditionally defined as all deposits less time deposits greater than $250K à The Bank measures core deposits as: Internet Deposits? Outside deposit originator? if yes, if yes, if yes, for at least three of the following: if yes, Source: “Study on Core Deposits and Brokered Deposits, Submitted to Congress pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, FDIC, July 8, 2011”: https://www.fdic.gov/regulations/reform/coredeposit-study.pdf
