Forward-Looking Information
All statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that do not directly and exclusively relate to historical facts
constitute forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as
“may,” “might,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,”
“plan,” “projection,” “goal,” “target,” “outlook,” “aim,” “would,” “annualized,” “position” and “outlook,” or the negative of these words
or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. For example, our forward-looking statements include
statements regarding our business plans, expectations, or opportunities for growth; the impact of the acquisition of Canyon
Bancorporation, Inc. and Canyon Community Bank, N.A. (collectively “Canyon”); our expense management initiatives and the results
expected to be realized from those initiatives; our anticipated financial results, expenses, cash requirements and sources of liquidity; and
our capital allocation strategies and plans.
Unless we state otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references in this Form 10-Q to “we,” “our,” “us,” and the
“Company” refer to CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries. References in this Form 10-Q to “CrossFirst Bank”
and the “Bank” refer to CrossFirst Bank, our wholly owned consolidated bank subsidiary.
These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about
our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently
uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future
performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the
expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially
different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, without
limitation: impacts on us and our clients of a decline in general business and economic conditions and any regulatory responses thereto,
including uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets; interest rate fluctuations; our ability to effectively execute our growth
strategy and manage our growth, including identifying and consummating suitable mergers and acquisitions, entering new lines of
business or offering new or enhanced services or products; our ability to successfully integrate Canyon; fluctuations in fair value of our
investments due to factors outside of our control; our ability to successfully manage credit risk and the sufficiency of our allowance;
geographic concentration of our markets; economic impact on our commercial real estate and commercial-based loan portfolios,
including declines in commercial and residential real estate values; an increase in non-performing assets; our ability to attract, hire and
retain key personnel; maintaining and increasing customer deposits, funding availability, liquidity and our ability to raise and maintain
sufficient capital; competition from banks, credit unions and other financial services providers; the effectiveness of our risk management
framework; accounting estimates; our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; our ability to keep pace with
technological changes; cyber incidents or other failures, disruptions or security breaches; employee error, fraud committed against the
Company or our clients, or incomplete or inaccurate information about clients and counterparties; mortgage markets; our ability to
maintain our reputation; costs and effects of litigation; environmental liability; risk exposure from transactions with financial
counterparties; severe weather, natural disasters, pandemics; acts of war or terrorism or other external events; changes in laws, rules,
regulations, interpretations or policies relating to financial institutions, including stringent capital requirements, higher FDIC insurance
premiums and assessments, consumer protection laws and privacy laws; volatility in our stock price; or risks inherent with proposed
business acquisitions and the failure to achieve projected synergies. Additional discussion of these and other risk factors can be found in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (“2022 Form 10-K”), filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 3, 2023, and in our other filings with the SEC.
Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect
changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes in our business, results of operations or financial condition over
time. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

CROSSFIRST BANKSHARES, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Unaudited
Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Operations
CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company whose principal activities are the ownership and
management of its wholly-owned subsidiary, CrossFirst Bank (the “Bank”). In addition, the Bank has
three
CrossFirst Investments, Inc. (“CFI”), which holds investments in marketable securities, CFBSA I, LLC and CFBSA II, LLC.
The Bank is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and financial services to individual and corporate customers
through its full-service branches in: (i) Leawood, Kansas; (ii) Wichita, Kansas; (iii) Kansas City, Missouri; (iv) Oklahoma City,
Oklahoma; (v) Tulsa, Oklahoma; (vi) Dallas, Texas; (vii) Fort Worth, Texas; (viii) Frisco, Texas; (ix) Phoenix, Arizona; (x) Colorado
Springs, Colorado; (xi) Denver, Colorado; (xii) Clayton, New Mexico; and (xiii) Tucson, Arizona.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements serve to update the CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc. Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and include the accounts of the Company, the Bank, CFI, CFBSA I, LLC
and CFBSA II, LLC. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and where applicable, with general practices in the banking industry or guidelines
prescribed by bank regulatory agencies. However, they may not include all information and notes necessary to constitute a complete set
of financial statements under GAAP applicable to annual periods and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the financial
information contained in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The unaudited consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results presented. All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. Certain reclassifications of prior years' amounts are made whenever necessary to conform to current period presentation.
The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any
other interim period. All amounts are in thousands, except share data, or as otherwise noted.
GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. By their nature, estimates are based on judgment and available information. Management
has made significant estimates in certain areas, such as the fair values of financial instruments, and the allowance for credit losses
(“ACL”). Because of the inherent uncertainties associated with any estimation process and future changes in market and economic
conditions, it is possible that actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
The Company's significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements are
disclosed in Note 1 of the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2022 and are contained in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for that period. There have been no significant changes to the application of significant
accounting policies since December 31, 2022
.
Related Party Transactions
The Bank extends credit and receives deposits from related parties. In management’s opinion, the loans and deposits were made
in the ordinary course of business and made on similar terms as those prevailing at the time with other persons. Related party loans
totaled $
10
13
99
92
December 31, 2022, respectively.

Note 2: Acquisition Activities
On August 1, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Canyon Bancorporation, Inc. and Canyon Community Bank, N.A.
(collectively, “Canyon”) whereby Canyon Bancorporation, Inc. was ultimately merged with and into CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc. and
Canyon Community Bank, N.A. was merged with and into CrossFirst Bank (the “Tucson acquisition”). Pursuant to the merger
agreement executed in April 2023, the Company paid approximately $
9.1
597,645
Company common stock, and the Company and the Bank assumed all of the assets and liabilities of the Canyon entities with which they
merged by operation of law. The acquisition added one full-service branch within Arizona to the Company’s footprint thereby deepening
our Arizona franchise.
Tucson acquisition-related costs totaled $
2.2
2.3
respectively, including a Day 1 CECL provision expense of $
0.9
Farmers & Stockmens Bank (the “Colorado/New Mexico acquisition”) totaled $
1.7
2023. Acquisition-related costs were included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The results of both acquisitions
mentioned above are included in the results of the Company subsequent to the acquisition dates and reported in this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q.
The Company determined that the Tucson acquisition constitutes a business combination as defined in Accounting Standard
Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, as of the date of the acquisition, the Company recorded the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. The Company determined fair values in accordance with the guidance provided in
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. In many cases, the determination of these fair values required management
to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective
in nature and subject to change. Actual results could differ materially. The Company has made the determination of fair values using the
best information available at the time; however, purchase accounting is not complete and the assumptions used are subject to change
and, if changed, could have a material effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In connection with the Tucson acquisition, the Company recorded $
1.3
reflects the expanded market presence, synergies and operational efficiencies that are expected to result from the acquisition. The
following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities presented above:
Cash and cash equivalents
—The carrying amount of these assets was deemed a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the
short-term nature of these assets.
Loans, net
—The fair value of loans was based on a discounted cash flow methodology. Inputs and assumptions used in the fair
value estimate of the loan portfolio, includes interest rate, servicing, credit and liquidity risk, and required equity return. The fair value
of loans was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the remaining maturity and repricing terms. Cash flows were
adjusted by estimating future credit losses and the rate of prepayments. Projected monthly cash flows were then discounted to present
value using a risk-adjusted market rate for similar loans.
Core deposit intangibles
—The Company identified customer relationships, in the form of core deposit intangibles, as an
identified intangible asset. Core deposit intangibles derive value from the expected future benefits or earnings capacity attributable to the
acquired core deposits. The core deposit intangible was valued by identifying the expected future benefits of the core deposits and
discounting those benefits back to present value. The core deposit intangible will be amortized over its estimated useful life of
approximately
10 years
13
Deposits
—By definition, the fair value of demand and saving deposits equals the amount payable. For time deposits acquired, the
Company utilized an income approach, discounting the contractual cash flows on the instruments over their remaining contractual lives
at prevailing market rates.
The fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities noted in the table may change during the provisional period, which may last up
to twelve months subsequent to the acquisition date. The Company may obtain additional information to refine the valuation of the
acquired assets and liabilities and adjust the recorded fair value.
Accounting for acquired loans
Loans acquired are recorded at fair value with no carryover of the related allowance for credit losses. Purchased-credit
deteriorated loans (“PCD”) are loans that have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination and are
recorded at the purchase price. Management determined that past due loans, adversely risk rated, on non-accrual or considered a
troubled-debt restructured loan constituted insignificant credit deterioration. The sum of the loan’s purchase price and the allowance for
credit losses becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par value of the loan
is a noncredit discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of the loan.
Non-PCD loans have not experienced a more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. The difference
between the fair value and outstanding balance of the non-PCD loans is recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the lives of
the loan.
A Day 1 CECL allowance for credit losses on the non-PCD loans was recorded through provision for credit loss expense within
the consolidated statements of operations. At the date of acquisition, of the $
105.7
26.0
million, or
25
% of Canyon’s loan portfolio, were accounted for as PCD loans.

Based on the Company’s evaluation at each respective period end, we recorded
no
ended September 30, 2023 or the year ended December 31, 2022. The unrealized losses in the Company’s investment portfolio were
caused by interest rate changes. As of September 30, 2023 the Company does not intend to sell the investments in loss positions, and it
is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

equity investments are included in “other” assets on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
The Company elected a measurement alternative for its private equity investments that did not have a readily determinable fair
value and did not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share. A cost basis was
calculated for the equity investments. The recorded balance will adjust for any impairment or any observable price changes for an
identical or similar investment of the same issuer. No such events occurred during the three - or nine-month period ended September 30,
2023.

of financial condition is excluded from the carrying value disclosed in the above table.
The Company aggregates the loan portfolio by similar credit risk characteristics. Effective with the second quarter of 2023, we revised the reported loan segments to better
reflect how management monitors the portfolio, assesses credit risk and evaluates the ACL. All prior period disclosures have been revised to reflect the changes to the loan
segments. The loan segments are described in additional detail below:
●
Commercial and Industrial
purchases, business operations, expansions and for working capital needs. Loan terms typically require amortizing payments that decrease the outstanding loan
balance while the lines of credit typically require interest-only payments with maturities ranging from one- to three-years. Lines of credit allow the borrower to draw
down and repay the line of credit based on the client’s cash flow needs. Repayment is primarily from the cash flow of a borrower’s principal business operation.
Credit risk is driven by creditworthiness of a borrower and the economic conditions.
●
Energy
acquisitions. The loans are repaid primarily from the conversion of crude oil and natural gas to cash. Credit risk is driven by creditworthiness of a borrower and the
economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations. Energy loans are typically collateralized with the underlying oil and gas reserves.
●
Commercial Real Estate – Owner-Occupied
and/or the principals and the primary source of repayment is through the cash flows generated by the borrowers’ business operations. Owner-occupied commercial
real estate loans are typically secured by a first lien mortgage on real property plus assignments of all leases related to the properties. Credit risk may be impacted by
the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the borrower ’s market areas.
●
Commercial Real Estate – Non-Owner-Occupied
generally dependent on the leasing income generated from tenants. These are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate.
19
Additionally, the category includes construction and land development loans that are based upon estimates of costs and estimated value of the completed project.
Independent appraisals and a financial analysis of the developers and property owners are completed. Sources of repayment include secondary market permanent
loans, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are higher risk than other
real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions, and the availability of long-term financing.
The category also includes loans that are secured by multifamily properties. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on occupancy rates and rental income.
Credit risk for non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in
the borrower’s market areas.
●
Residential Real Estate
- The category includes loans that are generally secured by owner-occupied 1-4 family residences . Repayment of these loans is primarily
dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers. We also offer open- and closed-ended home equity loans, which are loans generally secured by
second lien positions on residential real estate. Credit risk in these loans can be impacted by economic conditions within or outside the borrower’s market areas that
might impact either property values or a borrower’s personal income.
●
Consumer
- The category includes personal lines of credit and various term loans such as automobile loans and loans for other personal purposes. Repayment is
primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers. Credit risk is driven by consumer economic factors (such as unemployment and
general economic conditions in the borrower’s market area) and the creditworthiness of a borrower.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company’s CECL committee meets at least quarterly to oversee the ACL methodology. The committee estimates the ACL using relevant available information, from
internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The ACL represents the Company’s current estimate of lifetime
credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the statement of financial condition date. The ACL is adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate and excludes expected
extensions, renewals, and modifications.
The ACL is the sum of three components: (i) asset specific / individual loan reserves; (ii) quantitative (formulaic or pooled) reserves; and (iii) qualitative (judgmental)
reserves.
Asset Specific -
calculated for loans that are risk-rated substandard and on non-accrual and loans that are risk -rated doubtful or loss that are greater than a defined dollar threshold. Reserves on asset
specific loans may be based on collateral, for collateral-dependent loans, or on quantitative and qualitative factors, including expected cash flow, market sentiment, and guarantor
support.
Quantitative
- The Company used the cohort method, which identifies and captures the balance of a pool of loans with similar risk characteristics as of a particular time to
form a cohort. The cohort is then tracked for losses over the remaining life of loans or until the pool is exhausted. The Company used a lookback period of approximately six-years to
establish the cohort population. By using the historical data timeframe, the Company can establish a historical loss factor for each of its loan segments.
20
Qualitative
◾
The nature and volume of changes in risk ratings;
◾
The volume and severity of past due loans;
◾
The volume of non-accrual loans;
◾
The nature and volume of the loan portfolio, including the existence, growth, and effect of any concentrations of credit;
◾
Changes in the Institute of Supply Management’s Purchasing Manager Indices (“PMI”) for services and manufacturing;
◾
Changes in collateral values;
◾
Changes in lending policies, procedures, and quality of loan reviews;
◾
Changes in lending staff; and
◾
Changes in competition, legal and regulatory environments
In addition to the current condition qualitative adjustments, the Company uses the Federal Reserve’s unemployment forecast to adjust the ACL based on forward looking
guidance. The Federal Reserve’s unemployment forecast extends three-years and is eventually reverted to the mean of six percent by year 10.
Internal Credit Risk Ratings
The Company uses a weighted average risk rating factor to adjust the historical loss factors for current events. Risk ratings incorporate the criteria utilized by regulatory
authorities to describe criticized assets, but separate various levels of risk concentrated within the regulatory “Pass” category. Risk ratings are established for loans at origination and
are monitored on an ongoing basis. The rating assigned to a loan reflects the risks posed by the borrower ’s expected performance and the transaction ’s structure. Performance metrics
used to determine a risk rating include, but are not limited to, cash flow adequacy, liquidity, and collateral. A description of the loan risk ratings follows:
Loan Grades
●
Pass (risk rating 1-4)
financial condition, or the credit is currently protected with sales trends remaining flat or declining. Most ratios compare favorably with industry norms and Company
policies. Debt is programmed and timely repayment is expected.
●
Special Mention (risk rating 5)
sheet that has not reached a point where repayment is jeopardized. Credits are currently protected but, if left uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in
deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credit or in the Company’s credit or lien position at a future date. These credits are not adversely classified and do not
expose the Company to enough risk to warrant adverse classification.
●
Substandard (risk rating 6)
protected by the current worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged. A distinct possibility exists that the Company will sustain some loss if
deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified
substandard. Substandard loans include both performing and non-performing loans and are broken out in the table below.
●
Doubtful (risk rating 7)
- The category includes borrowers that exhibit weaknesses inherent in a substandard credit and characteristics that these weaknesses make
collection or liquidation in full highly questionable or improbable based on existing facts, conditions, and values. Because of reasonably specific pending factors,
which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the assets, classification as a loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.
21
●
Loss (risk rating 8)
- Credits that are considered uncollectible or of such little value that their continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted.
The following tables present the credit risk profile of the Company’s loan portfolio based on internal rating categories and loan segments as of September 30, 2023 and
December 31, 2022:

Non-accrual Loan Analysis
Non-accrual loans are loans for which the Company does not record interest income. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due
unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged off at
an earlier date, if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are
brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. The following tables present the Company’s non-accrual loans by loan segments at September 30, 2023 and December
31, 2022:

Loan Modifications
The Company considers loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties to be troubled loans. Effective January 1, 2023, the
Company adopted ASU 2022-02, which eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDR ”) and requires an
entity evaluate whether loan modifications represent a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. Such troubled debt modifications
(“TDM”) may include principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, other-than-insignificant -payment delays, term extensions or any
combination thereof. The Company adopted this accounting standard on a prospective basis.

The Company had no TDMs that were modified and had defaulted on their modified terms during the nine-months ended
September 30, 2023. For purposes of this disclosure, the Company considers “default ” to mean 90 days or more past due on principal or
interest. The allowance for credit losses related to TDMs on non-accrual status is determined by individual evaluation, including
collateral adequacy, using the same process as loans on non-accrual status which are not classified as TDMs.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, TDRs were extended to borrowers who were experiencing financial difficulty and who had
been granted a concession, excluding loan modifications as a result of the COVID -19 pandemic. The modification of terms typically
included the extension of maturity, reduction or deferment of monthly payment, or reduction of the stated interest rate.
The outstanding balance of TDRs recognized prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 was $
28.1

September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
The Company estimates expected credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures unless the obligation is unconditionally
cancellable by the Company. The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision (release) for credit loss expense.
40
The estimate is calculated for each loan segment and includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of
the expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. For each pool of contractual obligations
expected to be funded, the Company uses the reserve rate established for the related loan pools. The $
6
9
for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, are included in
“interest payable and other liabilities” on the statements of financial condition.
The following categories of off-balance sheet credit exposures have been identified:
Loan commitments – include revolving lines of credit, non-revolving lines of credit, and loans approved that are not yet funded. Risks
inherent to revolving lines of credit often are related to the susceptibility of an individual or business experiencing unpredictable cash
flow or financial troubles, thus leading to payment default. The primary risk associated with non-revolving lines of credit is the
diversion of funds for other expenditures.
Letters of credit – are primarily established to provide assurance to the beneficiary that the applicant will perform certain obligations
arising out of a separate transaction between the beneficiary and applicant. If the obligation is not met, it gives the beneficiary the right
to draw on the letter of credit.
Note 5: Leases
The Company’s leases primarily include bank branches located in Kansas City, Missouri; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Dallas, Texas; Frisco,
Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; Denver, Colorado and Colorado Springs, Colorado. The remaining lease terms on these branch leases range
from less than
one year
eighteen years
five years
twenty years
. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. When it is reasonably certain that the Company
will exercise its option to renew or extend the lease term, that option is included in the estimated value of the right of use (“ROU”) asset
and lease liability. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive
covenants. As of September 30, 2023, the Company recognized one finance lease and the remaining Company leases are classified as
operating leases.
The ROU asset is included in “other assets” on the consolidated statements of financial condition, and was $
28
31
million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Certain adjustments to the ROU asset may be required for items
such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received. The lease liability is located in “Interest payable and other liabilities” on the
consolidated statements of financial condition and was $
31
34
respectively.
As of September 30, 2023, the remaining weighted-average lease term is
11.2
2.56
% utilizing the Company’s incremental Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowing rate for borrowings of a similar term at the
date of lease commencement.

Note 7: Derivatives and Hedging
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions, including interest
rate, liquidity, and credit risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments as part of its risk management activities to manage
exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value
of which are determined by interest rates.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company uses interest rate derivatives to add stability to interest income and expense and to manage its exposure to interest
rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps and collars as part of its interest rate risk
management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in
exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional
amount. Interest rate collars designated as cash flow hedges involve payments of variable-rate amounts if interest rates rise above the
cap strike rate on the contract and the receipt of variable-rate amounts if interest rates fall below the floor strike rate on the contract.
During 2023, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt and loan assets.
Previously, five swaps that were entered into in 2021 were terminated during the third quarter of 2022; however, the amortization of the
gains on these instruments began in 2023 based on the original effective dates of these swaps. Derivatives designated and that qualify as
cash flow hedges include
five
340
one
$
250
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded
in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into interest income or expense in the
same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be
reclassified to interest income and expense as interest payments are received and made on the Company’s variable-rate assets and debt.
The Company currently estimates that $
2.7
months.
The Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions over a maximum period of
5.6
Non-designated Hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service provided to clients. The Company executes
interest rate swaps with customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously
hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third-party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure
resulting from such transactions. Interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting
requirements and changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in
earnings.
43
Swap fees earned upon origination and credit valuation adjustments that represent the risk of a counterparty’s default are reported
on the statements of operations as swap fee income, net. The effect of the Company’s derivative financial instruments gain (loss) is
reported on the statements of cash flows within “other assets” and “other liabilities”.

Note 10: Regulatory Matters
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators
that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management believes that,
as of September 30, 2023, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
The capital rules require the Company to maintain a
2.5
% capital conservation buffer with respect to Common Equity Tier I
capital, Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and total capital to risk-weighted assets, which is included in the column “Required to be
Considered Adequately Capitalized” within the table below. A financial institution with a conservation buffer of less than the required
amount is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, as well as certain
discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.
The Company and the Bank opted to exclude AOCI from the regulatory capital calculations. As a result, changes in AOCI, net of
tax, do not impact the Company’s or Bank’s regulatory capital ratios.
46
The Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are presented

Note 14: Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use
of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 2
markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for
substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3

Recurring Measurements
The following list presents the assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are
classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices
are not available, then fair values are estimated by using quoted prices of
securities with similar characteristics or independent asset pricing services
and pricing models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently
sourced market parameters, including, but not limited to, yield curves,
interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections
and cash flows.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring
basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.
Collateral-Dependent Loans, Net of ACL
The estimated fair value of collateral-dependent loans is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral, less estimated cost to
sell. If the fair value of the collateral is below the loan’s amortized cost, the ACL is netted against the loan balance. Collateral-dependent
loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company considers the appraisal or evaluation as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other
factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value. Appraisals of the collateral underlying collateral dependent loans are
50
obtained when the loan is determined to be collateral dependent and subsequently as deemed necessary by the Office of the Chief Credit
Officer.
Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by management. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved
appraisers maintained by management. The appraised values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of marketability and estimated
cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral. These discounts and estimates are developed
by the Office of the Chief Credit Officer by comparison to historical results.
Foreclosed Assets Held-for-Sale
The fair value of foreclosed assets-held-for-sale is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell.
Unobservable (Level 3) Inputs
The following tables present quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in non-recurring Level 3 fair value
measurements at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

o
Added $106 million of loans net of $5.2 million in acquired loan marks, $165 million of deposits and $4.5 million of
core deposit intangible

Net charge-offs of $1.3 million were previously reserved and represented an annualized rate of 0.09% of average loans
●
Reduced non-interest expense compared to the linked quarter, progressing towards our longer-term efficiency goal

Mergers and Acquisitions Update
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Canyon whereby Canyon Bancorporation, Inc. was
ultimately merged with and into CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc. and Canyon Community Bank, N.A. was merged with and into CrossFirst
Bank. In accordance with the agreement, the Company paid approximately $9.1 million of cash consideration and issued 597,645 shares
of Company common stock, and the Company and the Bank assumed all of the assets and liabilities of the Canyon entities with which
they merged by operation of law. System integration is expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 2023.
55
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company discloses certain non-GAAP
financial measures including “tangible common stockholders’ equity,” “tangible book value per common share,” “adjusted efficiency ratio – FTE,” “adjusted net income,” “adjusted
earnings per common share – diluted,” “adjusted return on average assets,” and “adjusted return on average common equity.” 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 to investors regarding our performance by excluding certain expenditures or gains that we believe are not indicative of our
primary business operating results. 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 follows.

Results of Operations
Overview
Net income totaled $16.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share, for the three-months ended September, 30, 2023 compared
to $17.3 million, or $0.35 per diluted common share, during the three-months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine-month periods
ending September 30, 2023 and 2022, net income totaled $49.0 million, or $0.99 per diluted common share, and $49.7 million, or $0.99
per diluted common share, respectively. For both comparative periods, increases in net interest income and non-interest income were
more than offset by higher non-interest expense.
The third quarter of 2023 included acquisition-related charges of $1.3 million and Day 1 CECL provision expense on acquired
loans of $0.9 million, resulting in adjusted net income
(1)
(1)
.
The nine-months ended September 30, 2023 included acquisition-related charges of $3.1 million, Day 1 CECL provision expense on
acquired loans of $0.9 million and employee separation costs of $1.3 million resulting in adjusted net income
(1)
$1.08 per diluted common share, on an adjusted basis
(1)
.
Return on average assets was 0.94% and 0.95% for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Adjusted
return on average assets
(1)
the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Adjusted return on average common equity
(1)
11.12% for the same periods.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is presented on a fully tax equivalent basis. We believe reporting on an FTE basis provides for improved
comparability between the various earning assets. Changes in interest income and interest expense result from changes in average
balances (volume) of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as changes in average interest rates.

Net interest income
and $28.2 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, respectively.
Compared to the third quarter of 2022, net interest margin - FTE for the third quarter of 2023 decreased 37 basis points. For the nine-
months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, net interest margin - FTE decreased 10 basis points.
Average earning assets totaled $7.0 billion for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 and $6.8 billion for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2023, resulting in increases of $1.3 billion for both periods, compared to the same periods in 2022,
inclusive of the impact of the acquisition of Farmers & Stockmens Bank (the “Colorado/New Mexico acquisition”) and the Tucson
acquisition. The increases were driven by higher average loan and investment portfolio balances, partially offset by lower average cash
balances for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding periods in 2022.
The FTE yield on earning assets increased 1.79% from the third quarter of 2022 to the third quarter of 2023 and increased 2.21% for the
nine-months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022 due to new loan production as well as repricing of
variable rate loans, partially offset by the impact of non-accrual loan interest reversals. The cost of funds increased 2.37% and 2.51%
over the same periods due to pricing pressure on interest-bearing deposits from the higher interest rate environmen t as well as client
migration into higher cost deposit products compared to the prior year.
The Company currently anticipates net interest margin - FTE to be in a range of 3.20% to 3.25% for the fourth quarter of 2023.

ended September 30, 2023 provision expense of $10.4 million increased $5.5 million compared to the same period in 2022. Increases
due to loan growth, changes in credit quality, economic factors, an increase in specific reserves and $0.9 million of Day 1 CECL
provision expense related to the Tucson acquisition were partially offset by a decrease related to the decrease in unfunded commitments.

The changes in non-interest income were driven primarily by the following:
62
Service charges and fees on customer accounts
compared to the corresponding periods in 2022 were driven primarily by increases in account analysis fees due to increased client
volume from new markets and acquired accounts as well as various fee increases on commercial accounts.
ATM and credit card interchange income
September 30, 2023 compared to the three-months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to increases in ATM fee income due to
higher transaction volume. The decrease in ATM and credit card interchange income for the nine-months ended September 30, 2023
compared to the same period in 2022 was driven primarily by a decrease in credit card fees due to one large customer with pandemic-
related activity that did not occur in the current year, partially offset by increases in ATM fee income.
Gain on sale of loans
– The increases for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods
for 2022 were due to mortgage and SBA loan sale activity in 2023. Our SBA lending team is a specialty lending vertical we augmented
from the Colorado/New Mexico acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Other non-interest income
– The increases for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same
periods for 2022 were due to stronger client-related transactional income and an increase in gains on equity securities.

Non-interest expense increased $7.9 million and $26.5 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023
compared to the same periods in 2022. The third quarter of 2023 included $1.3 million of acquisition-related expenses, with $0.8 million
included in professional fees, $0.3 million in salaries and employee benefits, $0.1 million in software and communication, and $0.1
million in other non-interest expense. The nine-months ended September 30, 2023 included $3.1 million of acquisition -related
expenses, most of which were included in professional fees and salaries and employee benefits, and $1.3 million of employee separation
costs included in salaries and employee benefits. The three-month period ended September 30, 2022 included $0.1 million of
acquisition-related expenses, most of which were included in professional fees. The nine-months ended September 30, 2022 included
$0.3 million of acquisition-related expenses, most of which were included in professional fees, and $1. 1 million of employee separation
costs included in other non-interest expense. The changes in non-interest expense were driven primarily by the following:
Salary and Employee Benefits
the prior year, excluding the employee separation costs in 2023 previously mentioned, increases were primarily due to the addition of
employees from the Colorado/New Mexico acquisition and the Tucson acquisition, hiring in new markets and merit increases.
Occupancy
Texas as well as the additional occupancy cost from acquired locations in Colorado, New Mexico and Tucson.
63
Professional Fees
periods after adjusting for the acquisition related costs.
Deposit Insurance Premiums
in assets for both comparative periods.
Software and communication
prior year, increases in software and communications were due to technology for additional employees and clients as well as new
technology implementation.
Other Non-interest Expense
– For the nine-months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in the prior year, the
decrease for employee separation costs was partially offset by increased post-pandemic travel expenses and transaction fraud-related
losses.
Core Deposit Intangible Amortization
– For both the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same
periods in the prior year, increases were due to expense related to the Colorado/New Mexico acquisition and the Tucson acquisition.
We currently anticipate non-interest expense to be in a range of $34 to $35 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. The efficiency
ratios were 59.49% and 60.77% and the adjusted efficiency ratios – FTE
(1)
periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Our income tax expense differs from the amount that would be calculated using the federal statutory tax rate, primarily from
investments in tax advantaged assets, including bank-owned life insurance and tax-exempt municipal securities; state tax credits; and
permanent tax differences from stock-based compensation.
The Company’s effective tax rate benefited from tax-exempt interest in both the three- and nine- month periods ended September
30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. However, the impact of tax-exempt interest on the overall tax rate is lower in 2023 as
its proportion to total income was lower as compared to 2022. We currently anticipate the Company’s effective tax rate to remain within
the 20% to 22% range in the near term.
Analysis of Financial Condition
Total assets were $7.2 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to $6.6 billion at December 31, 2022, an increase of $0.6 billion,
or 9%, including $0.2 billion as a result of the Tucson acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $67 million, or 22%, from
December 31, 2022, and investment securities increased $64 million, or 9%. Loans increased $0.6 billion, or 11%, including $0.1 billion
as a result of the Tucson acquisition, and the allowance for credit losses increased $10 million to $72 million at September 30, 2023.
Total deposits increased $0.7 billion to $6.3 billion at September 30, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022, including $0.2 billion as a
result of the Tucson acquisition. Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances totaled $89 million and decreased $130 million
compared to December 31, 2022.
Investment Portfolio
The primary objective of our investment portfolio is to ensure adequate liquidity, including serving as a contingent, on-balance
sheet source of liquidity. In addition, we manage the portfolio in a manner that optimizes earnings, manages credit and interest rate risk,
64
and meets pledging and regulatory capital requirements. Our portfolio is 100% available-for-sale and as of September 30, 2023 totaled
$750 million, an increase of $64 million from December 31, 2022.
The increase in the investment portfolio was driven by the purchase of $107 million in SBA securities, $45 million in mortgage-
backed securities, $15 million in U.S. Treasury securities, and $12 million in tax-exempt municipal securities. The increase was
partially offset by an increase of $37 million in the unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities. Additional offsets include the sale of
$67 million in tax-exempt municipal securities at a modest gain and $14 million of paydowns and maturities in mortgage-backed
securities as we intentionally improved the liquidity of the portfolio during the year, consistent with our current investment strategy. Our
future investment strategy includes reducing the concentration in municipal investments, investing in lower risk-weighted assets and
restructuring the portfolio to increase liquidity and provide more balanced cash flow. For additional information, including information
regarding other securities owned by the Company, see “Note 3: Securities” in the notes to consolidated financial statements – unaudited.

Charge-offs and Recoveries
Net charge-offs were $1.3 million and $3.5 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively. For the three -month period ended
September 30, 2023, charge-offs were primarily due to one commercial and industrial loan that was previously reserved. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, there
were charge-offs of three additional commercial and industrial loans. The below table provides the ratio of net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans outstanding based on our

Non-performing Assets and Other Asset Quality Metrics
Non-performing assets include: (i) non-performing loans, which includes non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, and loans modified
prior to January 1, 2023 under TDRs that are not performing in accordance with their modified terms; (ii) foreclosed assets held for sale; (iii) repossessed assets; and (iv) impaired
debt securities.
Non-performing assets increased $22.8 million during the quarter to $36.1 million at September 30, 2023 primarily due to one commercial and industrial credit and one
commercial real estate - non-owner-occupied credit moving to non-accrual and several credits that were 90+ days past due and still accruing at quarter-end. The non-performing
assets to total assets ratio increased from 0.31% at September 30, 2022 to 0.50% at September 30, 2023. Annualized net charge-offs were 0.09% for the quarter compared to 0.04%
in the prior quarter and 0.16% in the prior year third quarter. With respect to one commercial and industrial credit with a $13.6 million balance that was over 90 days past due, the
borrower raised new equity capital and brought the credit current after quarter end, reducing our non-performing assets to total assets ratio to 0.31%.
The Company continues to monitor the U.S. economic indicators, including the inflation rate, the unemployment rate, commodity prices, interest rates, and potential supply
chain disruptions and the impact they may have on the Company’s markets, clients, and prospects. The Company is monitoring the impact of a rising interest rate environment on the
commercial real estate market and enterprise and leverage loans that is currently partially mitigated by low debt-to-equity ratios. As of September 30, 2023, the Company did not
identify any systemic issues within its loan portfolio that would materially affect the credit quality of the loan portfolio. However, there could be some risk rating migration in certain
sectors of the commercial real estate portfolio in the future as many projects are faced with higher interest rates, operating costs, and property taxes.

Deposits and Other Borrowings
At September 30, 2023, our deposits totaled $6.3 billion, an increase of $680 million or 12% from December 31, 2022. The increase included a $798 million increase in time
deposits and $253 million in money market, NOW and savings deposits, parti ally offset by a decrease of $371 million in non-interest-bearing deposits. The increases in deposits
include $165 million related to the Tucson acquisition. Approximately 45% of the time deposit increase was from new client money and shifts from other deposit categories with the
remainder representing an increase in wholesale funding. The decrease in non-interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to elevated deposits at year-end that were deployed by clients
late in the first quarter of 2023.
The following table sets forth the maturity of time deposits as of September 30, 2023:

Other borrowings include FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, a line of credit, SBA loan secured borrowings, and our trust preferred security. At September 30, 2023, other
borrowings totaled $107 million, a $147 million, or 58% decrease from December 31, 2022. Borrowings were reduced due to client deposit growth and acquired deposit balances.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, $31 million of FHLB advances matured and were converted into a drawdown on the FHLB line of credit, an additional $12
million matured and $12 million of net FHLB advances were paid off . With respect to the FHLB line of credit, the Company paid down the converted $31 million of FHLB advances
and an additional $75 million, net, resulting in a zero balance on the FHLB line of credit as of September 30, 2023.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $2.4 billion of uninsured deposits, which is an estimated amount based on the same methodologies and assumptions
used for the Bank’s regulatory requirements. Excluding pass-thru accounts where clients have deposit insurance at the correspondent financial institution, our uninsured deposits are
$2.1 billion, or 33% of total deposits as of September 30, 2023. The average client account balance as of September 30, 2023 is less than $250 thousand for both individual accounts
and business accounts in total after excluding pass-through and insured cash sweep deposits. We have geographic and industry diversity within our deposit base as the majority of our
deposits are located in our footprint states of Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, and Colorado. The Company believes that its current capital ratios and liquidity are sufficient to
mitigate the risks of uninsured deposits.
70
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
We manage our liquidity based upon factors that include the level and quality of capital and our overall financial condition, the
trend and volume of problem assets, our balance sheet risk exposure, the level of deposits as a percentage of total loans, the amount of
non-deposit funding used to fund assets, the availability of unused funding sources and off-balance sheet obligations, the availability of
assets to be readily converted into cash without undue loss, the amount of cash and liquid securities we hold, and other factors. We also
conduct contingency funding plan stress tests at least annually to assess potential liquidity outflows or funding problems resulting from
economic disruptions, volatility in the financial markets, unexpected credit events or other significant occurrences deemed potentially
problematic by management. The Company’s liquidity strategy is to maintain adequate, but not excessive, liquidity to meet the daily
cash flow needs of clients while attempting to achieve adequate earnings for stockholders. The Company measures liquidity needs
through daily balance sheet monitoring, weekly cash projections and monthly liquidity measures reviewed in conjunction with Board-
approved liquidity policy limits. The Company's short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily met through cash flow
from operations, redeployment of proceeds from prepaying and maturing balances in our loan portfolio and security portfolio, increases
in client deposits and wholesale deposits. Liquidity resources can be derived from two sources: (i) on-balance sheet liquidity resources,
which represent funds currently on the statement of financial condition and (ii) off-balance sheet liquidity resources, which represent
funds available from third-party sources. The Company’s on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet liquidity resources consisted of the

Off-balance sheet liquidity increased from December 31, 2022 to September 30, 2023 primarily due to increases in available
funding with FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank.
For the nine-months ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased $67 million from December
31, 2022 to $233 million, representing 3% of total assets. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company
increased the available-for-sale securities portfolio on an amortized cost basis by $101 million, net of paydowns, maturities, and
amortization. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $332 million in securities that could be pledged and $46 million that could
be sold at a net gain based on market conditions at the time. In addition, the Company increased funded loans by $471 million, net of
payoffs and charge-offs during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 that reduced cash and cash equivalents.
The Company’s time deposits increased by $780 million primarily from wholesale funding, new client money and shifts from
other deposit categories. Savings and money market deposits increased by $253 million. Non-interest-bearing deposits decreased $371
million as elevated year-end balances were deployed by clients in the first quarter of 2023 in addition to clients migrating into interest-
bearing deposits. FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased $147 million during the nine-month period ended September 30,
2023, largely related to a reduction in FHLB advances due to client deposit growth and acquired deposit balances.
The Company did not purchase any common stock during the first nine months of 2023. As of September 30, 2023, $16 million
remains available for repurchase under our share repurchase program. The amount and timing of such future share repurchases will be
dependent on a number of factors, including the price of our common stock, overall capital levels and cash flow needs. There is no
assurance that we will repurchase up to the full amount remaining under our program.
Dividends of $258 thousand related to the Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock were declared and paid by the
Company during the nine-months ended September, 2023. In October 2023, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend on
71
Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock in the amount of $20.00 per share to be payable on December 15, 2023 to
shareholders of record as of November 30, 2023.
The Company believes that its current on and off-balance sheet liquidity will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements
for the next 12 months and thereafter. The Company believes that it has several on and off-balance sheet options to address reductions in
cash and cash equivalents in order to maintain appropriate liquidity.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is subject to contractual obligations made in the ordinary course of business. The obligations include deposit
liabilities, other borrowed funds, and operating leases. Refer to “Note 8: Time Deposits and Other Borrowings” and “Note 5: Leases”
within the notes to consolidated financial statements – unaudited for information regarding the Company’s significant contractual cash
obligations and contractual obligations to third parties on lease obligations, respectively.
As a financial services provider, the Company is a party to various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks, such as
commitments to extend credit. Off-balance sheet arrangements represent the Company’s future cash requirements. However, a portion
of these commitments may expire without being drawn upon. Refer to “Note 15: Commitments and Credit Risk” within the notes to
consolidated financial statements – unaudited for a listing of the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements.
The Company’s short-term and long-term contractual obligations, including off-balance sheet obligations, may be satisfied
through the Company’s on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet liquidity discussed above.
Capital Requirements
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
The regulatory capital requirements involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities, select off-balance sheet items and
equity. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Refer to “Note 10:
Regulatory Matters” in the notes to consolidated financial statements – unaudited for additional information. Management believes that
as of September 30, 2023, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and with general practices within the financial
services industry. Application of these principles requires management to make complex and subjective estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases estimates on historical experience
and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under current circumstances. These assumptions form the basis for
management judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from independent, objective
sources. The Company evaluates estimates on an ongoing basis. Use of alternative assumptions may have resulted in significantly
different estimates. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
A discussion of these policies can be found in the section captioned “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2022 Form 10-K. There have
been no changes in the Company’s application of critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2022.

financial statements – unaudited included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
A primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Interest rate risk management is a key element of the Company ’s
statement of financial condition management. Interest rate risk is the risk that net interest margins will erode over time due to changing
market conditions. Many factors can cause margins to erode: (i) lower loan demand; (ii) increased competition for funds; (iii) weak
pricing policies; (iv) statement of financial condition mismatches; and (v) changing liquidity demands. The objective is to maximize
income while minimizing interest rate risk. The Company manages its sensitivity position using its interest rate risk policy. The
management of interest rate risk is a three-step process and involves: (i) measuring the interest rate risk position; (ii) policy constraints;
and (iii) strategic review and implementation.
Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”). The ALCO uses a combination of
three systems to measure the statement of financial condition’s interest rate risk position. The three systems in combination are expected
to provide a better overall result than a single system alone. The three systems include: (i) gap reports; (ii) earnings simulation; and (iii)
economic value of equity. The ALCO’s primary tools to change the interest rate risk position are: (i) investment portfolio duration; (ii)
deposit and borrowing mix; and (iii) on-balance sheet derivatives.
The ALCO evaluates interest rate risk using a rate shock method and rate ramp method. In a rate shock analysis, rates change
immediately, and the change is sustained over the time horizon. In a rate ramp analysis, rate changes occur gradually over time.
Management reviews and utilizes both methods in managing interest rate risk; however, both methods represent a risk indicator, not a
forecast. The following tables summarize the simulated changes in net interest income and fair value of equity over a 12-month horizon
using a rate shock and rate ramp method as of the dates indicated:

The Company’s position is relatively neutral as of September 30, 2023, which is less sensitive as compared to both September 30,
2022 and December 31, 2022 due to deposit mix changes with demand deposits as the main driver. Compared to December 31, 2022,
the Company’s position is less asset sensitive due to the reduction in demand deposits and an on-balance sheet interest rate collar that
becomes effective in the first quarter of 2024. The aggregate beta assumption utilized as of September 30, 2023 was approximately 60%
which is unchanged from our previous assumption. Other key assumptions updated during 2023 include updated deposit decay rates,
new business spreads and updating market yield curves. Other assumptions included in the model that are periodically updated include
loan prepayments and call provisions within investment and debt holdings. The Company is monitoring interest rate sensitivity closely
as $4.1 billion, or 68%, of loans mature or reprice within the twelve-month period following September 30, 2023, including $2.8 billion
that repriced in the first month of the fourth quarter. $5.3 billion of interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice over the same twelve-
month period. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the investment portfolio duration was approximately 5.6 and 5.2
years, respectively. The Company is reviewing additional options to manage the statement of financial condition sensitivity based on the
interest rate environment and anticipated composition of assets and liabilities in the next twelve months and beyond.
The models the Company uses include assumptions regarding interest rates while balances remain unchanged. These assumptions
are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher
or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency
of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions, customer behavior and management strategies, among other factors.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2023. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our internal control over financial reporting continues to be updated as necessary to accommodate modifications to our business
processes and accounting procedures. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined
in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the third quarter of 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, we are named or threatened to be named as a defendant in various lawsuits. Management,
following consultation with legal counsel, does not expect the ultimate disposition of any or a combination of these matters to have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or growth prospects. However, given the
nature, scope, and complexity of the extensive legal and regulatory landscape applicable to our business (including laws and regulations
governing consumer protection, fair lending, fair labor, privacy, information security and anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism
laws), we, like all banking organizations, are subject to heightened legal and regulatory compliance and litigation risk.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A.
Risk Factors" in our 2022 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations in future
periods. There were no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the 2022 Form 10-K.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
(a)
On August 1, 2023, the Company issued 597,645 shares of its common stock to Canyon Bancorporation, Inc. stockholders as partial
merger consideration in the Tucson acquisition. The Company’s common stock was valued at a per share price of approximately
$14.11 for purposes of calculating the merger consideration. The shares of common stock issued as partial merger consideration
were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in reliance on the exemption from
registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and were issued in
compliance with such exemption only to "accredited investors."
(b)
Not applicable.
(c)
Share Repurchase Program
On May 10, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the
Company may repurchase up to $30 million of its common stock. The objective of the program is to give the Company the ability to
opportunistically acquire undervalued shares and return capital to shareholders. No shares were repurchased during the three-
months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, $16 million remains available for repurchase under this share
repurchase program. Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market or privately negotiated transactions in
compliance with SEC Rule 10b-18, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements , and other relevant factors. The
program does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock and may be suspended at any time at the
Company's discretion. No time limit has been set for completion of the program. Our officers and directors are prohibited from
trading in the Company’s securities if they are in possession of material non-public information and must at all times comply with
the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, including quarterly blackout periods and pre-clearance procedures.
