SFBS Adjusted Funding Cost Comparative Analysis Description of Analysis ▪ The following analysis was conducted in an effort to assess the value assigned by the market to ServisFirst’s branch delivery system relative to its reported cost of deposits ▪ Fundamental to the analysis is the approximation of an adjusted cost of deposits, which are inclusive of estimated expenses or “overhead” attributable to the branch delivery system, the calculation of which is predicated on the following assumptions: – Reported cost of interest bearing deposits and reported cost of total deposits for the quarter ending March 31, 2020 and Last Twelve Months (LTM) as of March 31, 2020 serve as the basis for the funding costs – Reported deposit costs are adjusted to include 41.4% of reported compensation and benefits expense , and 78.2% of reported occupancy & equipment expense for the same Most Recent Quarter (MRQ) and LTM time periods (1) ▪ In order to gauge the resulting adjusted cost of deposits relative to market valuation, the same analysis was performed across three comparable groups for purposes of comparing / contrasting ServisFirst’s position relative to peers (2) : – Southeast Peer Group : Selected Major Exchange Southeast Banks with Total Assets $5 Billion - $15 Billion – High Performing Peer Group : Selected Major Exchange Nationwide Banks with Total Assets $5 Billion - $30 Billion, TCE / TA > 8.0%, and LTM Core ROAA > 1.60% – High Priced Peer Group : Selected Major Exchange Nationwide Banks with Total Assets $5 Billion - $30 Billion and P / TBV > 190% 28 1) Percentages derived from SFBS management’s internal analysis ; inclusive of management estimates of salary and benefits expense for deposit gathering officers, support staff, monthly core system costs, and additional support center overhead 2) Selected Peer Groups can be found on page 39

GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non - GAAP Financial Measures We recorded a $ 1 . 7 million credit to our FDIC and other regulatory assessments expense in 2019 as a result of the FDIC’s Small Bank Assessment Credit . We recorded $ 3 . 1 million of additional tax expense as a result of revaluing our net deferred tax assets at December 31 , 2017 due to lower corporate income tax rates provided by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed into law in December 2017 . The revaluation adjustment of our net deferred tax asset position was impacted by a number of factors, including increased loan charge - offs in the fourth quarter of 2017 , increases in deferred tax liabilities relating to depreciation expense on our new headquarters building, and dividends from our captive real estate investment trusts . In 2017 we also recorded expenses of $ 347 , 000 related to terminating the lease agreement on our previous headquarters building in Birmingham, Alabama and expenses of moving into our new headquarters building . We recorded expenses of $ 2 . 1 million in 2015 related to the acquisition of Metro Bancshares, Inc . and the merger of Metro Bank with and into the bank, and recorded an expense of $ 500 , 000 resulting from the initial funding of reserves for unfunded loan commitments, consistent with guidance provided in the Federal Reserve Bank’s Interagency Policy Statement SR 06 - 17 . The table below presents computations of earnings and certain other financial measures which exclude the significant adjustments discussed above . These non - GAAP financial measures include “adjusted net income available to common stockholders,” “adjusted earnings per share, basic,” “adjusted earnings per share, diluted,” “adjusted return on average assets,” “adjusted return on average stockholders’ equity,” “adjusted return on average common stockholders’ equity” and “adjusted efficiency ratio . ” Adjusted earnings per share, basic is adjusted net income available to common stockholders divided by weighted average shares outstanding . Adjusted earnings per share, diluted is adjusted net income available to common stockholders divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding . Adjusted return on average assets is adjusted net income divided by average total assets . Adjusted return of average stockholders’ equity is adjusted net income divided by average total stockholders’ equity . Adjusted return of average common stockholders’ equity is adjusted net income divided by average common stockholders’ equity . The adjusted efficiency ratio is adjusted non - interest expense divided by the sum of adjusted net interest income and adjusted non - interest income . Our management and board use these non - GAAP measures for reporting financial performance to internal users for management purposes and externally as part of presentations to investors . We believe these non - GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management, our board 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 inherent limitations, are not audited and are not required to be uniformly applied . The following reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of the non - GAAP financial measures for the years ended December 31 , 2019 , 2017 and 2015 . All amounts are in thousands, except share and per share data . 37

 

 

GAAP Reconciliation 38 1) Adjustment includes 41 . 4 % of reported compensation and benefits expense and 78 . 2 % of reported occupancy and equipment expense .
