GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures We originated over 7,400 PPP loans with an aggregate balance of approximately $1.5 billion during the COVID-19 pandemic. At March 31, 2022, we had outstanding PPP loans of $107.6 million. Financial measures in this press release that are presented adjusted for our PPP activities are net income available to common stockholders and diluted earnings per share. These financial measures exclude the impact of PPP loans, net of tax, and are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that these non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies, including those in our industry, use. The following reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of the non-GAAP financial measures as of and for the comparative periods presented in this press release. Dollars are in thousands, except share and per share data.

GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures We originated over 7,400 PPP loans with an aggregate balance of approximately $1.5 billion during the COVID-19 pandemic. At March 31, 2022, we had outstanding PPP loans of $107.6 million. Financial measures in this press release that are presented adjusted for our PPP activities are net income available to common stockholders and diluted earnings per share. These financial measures exclude the impact of PPP loans, net of tax, and are considered non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that these non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies, including those in our industry, use. The following reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of the non-GAAP financial measures as of and for the comparative periods presented in this press release. Dollars are in thousands, except share and per share data. Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Net income - GAAP $ 57,613 Adjustments: PPP loan income (4,869 ) Tax on adjustment 1,222 Adjusted net income - non-GAAP $ 53,966 Diluted earnings per share - GAAP $ 1.06 Adjustments: PPP loan income (0.09 ) Tax on adjustment 0.02 Adjusted diluted earnings per share - non-GAAP $ 0.99 About ServisFirst Bancshares, Inc.
