PEOPLES BANCORP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Peoples" refers to Peoples Bancorp Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively, except where the context indicates the reference relates solely to Peoples Bancorp Inc.) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, these financial statements do not contain all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Peoples’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 ("Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K").
The accounting and reporting policies followed in the presentation of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are consistent with those described in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K, as updated by the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023 (this "Form 10-Q"). Management has evaluated all significant events and transactions that occurred after March 31, 2023 for potential recognition or disclosure in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.  In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly such information for the periods and at the dates indicated.  Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022, contained herein, has been derived from the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet included in Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K. 
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year, due in part to seasonal variations and unusual or infrequently occurring items.
New Accounting Pronouncements: From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by Peoples as of the required effective dates. The following paragraphs related to new pronouncements should be read in conjunction with "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes the impact of any recently issued standards, including those issued but not yet effective, will not have a material impact on Peoples' financial statements taken as a whole.
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. This guidance was further updated by ASU 2021-01. This update was effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The FASB further updated the guidance with ASU 2022-06, which deferred the sunset date of ASC Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. ASU 2020-04 was early adopted by Peoples as of September 30, 2021, and did not have a significant impact on Peoples' Consolidated Financial Statements, but is expected to reduce the accounting burden of assessing contracts impacted by reference rate reform. Peoples established a working group, consisting of key stakeholders from throughout the company, to monitor developments relating to LIBOR changes and to guide the transition. This team has worked to successfully ensure that technology systems are prepared for the transition, loan documents that reference LIBOR-based rates have been appropriately amended to reference other methods of interest rate determinations and internal and external stakeholders have been apprised of the transition. Based on the transition progress to date, Peoples ceased originating LIBOR-based products and began originating SOFR-indexed products. Peoples will continue to transition all remaining LIBOR-based products to SOFR-indexed products. Peoples will also continue to evaluate the transition process and align its trajectory with regulatory guidelines regarding the cessation of LIBOR as well as monitor new developments for transitioning to alternative reference rates, if necessary and as needed.
ASU 2022-02 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings ("TDRs") and Vintage Disclosures. This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) for creditors and amends the guidance on disclosures to include current-period gross write-offs by year of origination. This ASU also updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 326 and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. For entities that have already adopted ASU 2016-13, as Peoples has, the amendments in ASU 2022-02 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
Effective January 1, 2023, Peoples adopted the amendments within ASU 2022-02, using the prospective transition method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on Peoples' consolidated financial statements.

8
Pursuant to the guidance in ASU 2022-02, when a loan is restructured, Peoples continues to measure the allowance for credit losses on the loan using a discounted cash flow approach that utilizes a prepayment-adjusted discount rate based on the loan’s restructured terms. Under the TDR accounting model, Peoples modeled a 12-month extension of the contractual terms for TDRs that were to mature within the next 12 months. As Peoples has elected a prospective transition, the extension on a loan that was previously restructured and accounted for as a TDR will continue to be measured as it had been historically in Peoples' allowance for credit losses until the loan is paid off, sold, liquidated, or subsequently restructured. Refer to "Note 4 Loans and Leases" for additional information.
Note 2 Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Fair value represents the amount expected to be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in its principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, Peoples measures, records and reports various types of assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or a non-recurring basis in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Those assets and liabilities are presented below in the sections entitled “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis” and “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis.”
Depending on the nature of the asset or the liability, Peoples uses various valuation methodologies and assumptions to estimate fair value. The measurement of fair value under US GAAP uses a hierarchy, which is described in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K.
Assets and liabilities are assigned to a level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant input used to measure fair value. Assets and liabilities may change levels within the fair value hierarchy due to market conditions or other circumstances. Those transfers are recognized on the date of the event that prompted the transfer. There were no transfers of assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.
Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table provides the fair value for assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets by level in the fair value hierarchy.

Available-for-Sale Investment Securities: The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent either quoted market prices for the identical securities (Level 1) or fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, LIBOR (or other relevant) yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2). Management reviews the valuation methodology and quality controls utilized by the pricing services in management's overall assessment of the reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when management believes a material discrepancy in pricing exists.

9
Equity Investment Securities: The fair values of Peoples' equity investment securities are obtained from quoted prices in active exchange markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) or quoted prices in less active markets (Level 2).
Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities: Derivative assets and derivative liabilities are recognized on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value within "Other assets" and "Accrued expenses and other liabilities", respectively. The fair value for derivative financial instruments is determined based on market prices, broker-dealer quotations on similar products, or other related input parameters (Level 2).
Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The following table provides the fair value for each class of assets and liabilities required to be measured and reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets by level in the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

(a) Loans held for sale are presented gross of a valuation allowance of $99 and $105 at March 31, 2023 and at December 31, 2022, respectively.

Collateral Dependent Loans: Loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, are considered collateral dependent. Peoples utilizes outside third-party appraisal services to value the underlying collateral, which Peoples then uses to report the loans at their fair value (Level 3).
Loans Held for Sale: Loans originated and intended to be sold in the secondary market, generally one-to-four family residential loans, are carried, in aggregate, at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Peoples uses a valuation model using quoted market prices of similar instruments in arriving at the fair value (Level 2).
Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO"):, included in "Other assets" on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, is comprised primarily of commercial and residential real estate properties acquired by Peoples in satisfaction of a loan. OREO obtained in satisfaction of a loan is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell the property. The carrying value of OREO is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is based on recent real estate appraisals and is updated at least annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available (Level 3).
Servicing Rights: Servicing rights are included in "Other intangible assets" on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of servicing rights is determined by using a discounted cash flow model, which estimates the present value of the future net cash flows of the servicing portfolio based on various factors, such as servicing costs, expected prepayment speeds and discount rates (Level 3). The carrying value of servicing rights is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis. Peoples assesses the carrying value of servicing rights quarterly for impairment.

For certain financial assets and liabilities, carrying value approximates fair value due to the nature of the financial instrument. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, and overnight borrowings. Peoples used the following methods and assumptions in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, balances due from other banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold and other short-term investments with original maturities of ninety days or less. The carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents balances are a reasonable estimate of fair value (Level 1).
Held-to-Maturity Investment Securities: The fair values used by Peoples are obtained from an independent pricing service and represent fair values determined by pricing models using a market approach that considers observable market data, such as interest rate volatility, relevant yield curves, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2). When observable market data is absent, the independent pricing service estimates prices based on underlying cash flow characteristics and discount rates and compares them to similar securities (Level 3). Management reviews the valuation

11
methodology and quality controls utilized by the pricing services in management's overall assessment of the reasonableness of the fair values provided, and challenges prices when management believes a material discrepancy in pricing exists.
Other Investment Securities: Other investment securities at cost are not recorded at fair value as they are not marketable securities. Other investment securities at fair value are valued using quoted prices in an active market (Level 1) or quoted prices in less active markets (Level 2).
Loans and Leases, Net of Deferred Fees and Costs: The fair value of portfolio loans and leases assumes sale of the underlying notes to a third-party financial investor. Accordingly, this value is not necessarily the value to Peoples if the notes were held to maturity. Peoples considers interest rate, credit and market factors in estimating the fair value of loans and leases (Level 3). Fair values for loans and leases are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discount rates take into account interest rates currently being offered to customers for loans and leases with similar terms, the credit risk associated with the loans and leases and other market factors, including liquidity.
Bank Owned Life Insurance: Peoples' bank owned life insurance policies are recorded at their cash surrender value (Level 2). Peoples recognizes tax-exempt income from the periodic increases in the cash surrender value of these policies and from death benefits.
Deposits: The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit ("CDs") is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Demand and other non-fixed-maturity deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on maturity, attrition and re-pricing assumptions (Level 2).
Short-term Borrowings: The fair value of short-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2). 
Long-term Borrowings: The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on rates currently available to Peoples for borrowings with similar terms (Level 2). 
Certain financial assets and financial liabilities that are not required to be measured or reported at fair value can be subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). These financial assets and liabilities include the following: customer relationships, the deposit base, and other information required to compute Peoples’ aggregate fair value, which are not included in the above information. Accordingly, the fair values described above are not intended to represent the aggregate fair value of Peoples.

Management evaluates available-for-sale investment securities for an allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. At March 31, 2023, management concluded that no individual securities at an unrealized loss position required an allowance for credit losses. At March 31, 2023, Peoples did not have the intent to sell, nor was it more likely than not that Peoples would be required to sell, any of the securities with an unrealized loss prior to recovery. Further, the unrealized losses at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were largely attributable to changes in market interest rates and spreads since the securities were purchased, and were not credit-related losses. Accrued interest receivable is not included in investment securities balances, and is presented in the “Other assets” line of the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, with no recorded allowance for credit losses. Interest receivable on investment securities was $6.7 million at March 31, 2023 and $7.8 million at December 31, 2022.
At March 31, 2023, approximately 99% of the mortgage-backed securities with a market value that had been at an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more were issued by U.S. government sponsored agencies. The remaining 1%, or four positions, consisted of privately issued mortgage-backed securities with all of the underlying mortgages originated prior to 2004. Of the four positions, three positions had a fair value of less than 90% of their book values. Management analyzed the underlying credit quality of these mortgage-backed securities and concluded the unrealized losses were primarily attributable to the floating rate nature of these investments and the low remaining number of loans underlying these securities. Obligations of the U.S. treasury and government agencies, obligations of U.S. government sponsored agencies, and obligations of states and political subdivisions were issued by the U.S. Treasury Department or Federal government-sponsored entities. The decline in fair values was attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. Therefore, management does not consider these to be impaired securities.
The unrealized loss with respect to the four bank-issued trust preferred securities that had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or more at March 31, 2023 was attributable to the subordinated nature of the debt.

There were no sales of held-to-maturity securities for either of the three months ended March 31, 2023 or 2022.
Management evaluates held-to-maturity investment securities for an allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. Peoples has determined that the loss given default for U.S. government sponsored enterprise investment securities is zero, due to the fact that it is unlikely the ultimate guarantor (the U.S. government) would not perform on its implicit guarantee in the event of default. The remaining securities are included in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity investment securities. Peoples recorded $241,000 of allowance for credit losses for held-to-maturity securities at both March 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

Peoples purchased $4.5 million of additional FHLB stock during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as a result of the FHLB's capital requirements on FHLB advances during the first quarter.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Peoples recognized a gain of $21,000 and a loss of $7,000, respectively, for the change in fair value of equity investment securities in "Other non-interest income".
At March 31, 2023, Peoples' investment in equity investment securities was comprised largely of common stocks issued by various unrelated bank holding companies. There were no equity investment securities of a single issuer that exceeded 10% of Peoples' stockholders' equity.
Pledged Securities
Peoples has pledged available-for-sale investment securities and held-to-maturity investment securities to secure public and trust department deposits, and repurchase agreements in accordance with federal and state requirements. Peoples has also pledged available-for-sale investment securities to secure additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB and the FRB as well as to derivative counterparties as collateral on unrealized interest rate swaps.

Accrued interest receivable is not included within the loan balances, but is presented in the “Other assets” line of the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, with no recorded allowance for credit losses. Total interest receivable on loans was $15.4 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans
A loan is considered past due if any required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the loan agreement. A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether or not such loan is considered past due.
The amortized cost of loans on nonaccrual status and of loans delinquent for 90 days or more and accruing was as follows:

(a) There were $3.4 million of nonaccrual loans for which there was no allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2023 and $1.4 million at December 31, 2022.
During the first three months of 2023, nonaccrual loans declined compared to at December 31, 2022, which was primarily due to $0.9 million of residential real estate being loans on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2022 that were accruing as of March 31, 2023. The decrease in accruing loans 90+ days past due at March 31, 2023 when compared to at December 31, 2022, was primarily due to reductions of $0.7 million and $0.6 million in residential real estate loans and leases, respectively.
The amount of interest income recognized on loans past due 90 days or more and accruing during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $0.5 million.

Pledged Loans
Peoples has pledged certain loans secured by one-to-four family and multifamily residential mortgages, home equity lines of credit and commercial real estate loans under a blanket collateral agreement to secure borrowings from the FHLB. Peoples also has pledged eligible commercial and industrial loans to secure borrowings with the FRB. Loans pledged are summarized as follows:

Credit Quality Indicators
As discussed in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K, Peoples categorizes the majority of its loans into risk categories based upon an established risk grading matrix using a scale of 1 to 8. Loan grades are assigned at the time a new loan or lending commitment is extended by Peoples and may be changed at any time when circumstances warrant. Commercial loans to borrowers with an aggregate unpaid principal balance in excess of $1.0 million are reviewed at least on an annual basis for possible credit deterioration. Commercial leases, as well as loan relationships whose aggregate credit exposure to Peoples is equal to or less than $1.0 million are reviewed at least on an event driven basis. Triggers for review include knowledge of adverse events affecting the borrower's business, receipt of financial statements indicating deteriorating credit quality or other similar events. Adversely classified loans are reviewed on a quarterly basis. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades used by Peoples, follows:
“Pass” (grades 1 through 4): Loans in this risk category involve borrowers of acceptable-to-strong credit quality and risk who have the apparent ability to satisfy their loan obligations. Loans in this risk grade would possess sufficient mitigating factors, such as adequate collateral or strong guarantors possessing the capacity to repay the loan if required, for any weakness that may exist.

19
“Special Mention” (grade 5): Loans in this risk grade are the equivalent of the regulatory definition of “Other Assets Especially Mentioned.” Loans in this risk category possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which requires a high level of management attention. Potential weaknesses include declining trends in operating earnings and cash flows and/or reliance on a secondary source of repayment. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in noticeable deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in Peoples' credit position.
“Substandard” (grade 6): Loans in this risk grade are inadequately protected by the borrower's current financial condition and payment capability or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have one or more well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of the loans. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Peoples will sustain some loss if the weaknesses are not corrected.
“Doubtful” (grade 7): Loans in this risk grade have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, classification of each of these loans as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.
“Loss” (grade 8): Loans in this risk grade are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean a loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Charge-offs against the allowance for credit losses are taken during the period in which the loan becomes uncollectible. Consequently, Peoples typically does not maintain a recorded investment in loans within this category.
Consumer loans and other smaller-balance loans are evaluated and categorized as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss" based upon the regulatory definition of these classes and consistent with regulatory requirements. Leases are categorized as "special mention", "substandard", or "loss" based upon delinquency status and the prospect of collecting the remaining net investment balance owed under the lease. All other loans not evaluated individually, nor meeting the regulatory conditions to be categorized as described above, would be considered as being "not rated."
The following table summarizes the risk category of loans within Peoples' loan portfolio, including acquired loans, based upon the most recent analysis performed at March 31, 2023:

Collateral Dependent Loans
Peoples has certain loans for which repayment is dependent upon the operation or sale of collateral, as the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The underlying collateral can vary based upon the type of loan. The following provides more detail about the types of collateral that secure collateral dependent loans:
• Construction loans are typically secured by owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment real estate. Typically, owner occupied construction loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and other commercial and industrial properties that are in process of construction. Non-owner occupied commercial construction loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, multi-family complexes, land under development, and other commercial and industrial real estate in process of construction.
•Commercial real estate loans can be secured by either owner occupied commercial real estate or non-owner occupied investment commercial real estate. Typically, owner occupied commercial real estate loans are secured by office buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities and other commercial and industrial properties occupied by operating companies. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are generally secured by office buildings and complexes, retail facilities, multifamily complexes, land under development, industrial properties, as well as other commercial or industrial real estate.
•Commercial and industrial loans are generally secured by equipment, inventory, accounts receivable, and other commercial property.
•Residential real estate loans are typically secured by first mortgages, and in some cases could be secured by a second mortgage.
•Home equity lines of credit are generally secured by second mortgages on residential real estate property.
•Consumer loans are generally secured by automobiles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles and other personal property. Some consumer loans are unsecured and have no underlying collateral.
•Leases are secured by commercial equipment and other essential business assets.

23
•Premium finance loans are secured by the unearned portion of the insurance premium being financed.
The following table details Peoples' amortized cost of collateral dependent loans:

Total collateral dependent loans$8,860 $10,354 
The decrease in collateral dependent loans at March 31, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022, was primarily due to two large relationships that were paid in full during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Modifications for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty Subsequent to the Adoption of ASU 2022-02
As part of Peoples' loss mitigation activities, Peoples may agree to modify the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. The most common modifications to the contractual terms of a loan to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty include an extension of the maturity date, a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the loan, a temporary period of interest-only payments, and a reduction in the contractual payment amount for either a short period or the remaining term of the loan.
In addition to loan modifications, Peoples also provides other loss mitigation options, such as forbearance and repayment plans, to assist borrowers who experience financial difficulties. In assessing whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, Peoples considers information currently available regarding the financial condition of the borrower. This information includes, but is not limited to, whether (1) the borrower is currently in payment default on any of the borrower's debt; (2) a payment default is probable in the foreseeable future without the modification; (3) the borrower has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy; and (4) the borrower's projected cash flow is insufficient to satisfy contractual payments due under the original terms of the loan without a modification.

Troubled Debt Restructurings Disclosures Prior to the Adoption of ASU 2022-02
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, Peoples accounted for a modification to the contractual terms of a loan that resulted in granting a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties as a TDR. See “Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K for more information on our TDR policy and the COVID-19 relief from TDR accounting and disclosure requirements, and “Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in this report for more information on the adoption of ASU 2022-02.

On March 22, 2020, federal and state government banking regulators issued a joint statement, with which the FASB concurred as to the approach, regarding accounting for loan modifications for borrowers affected by COVID-19. In this guidance, short-term modifications, made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19, to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not considered TDRs. This includes short-term modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment which are insignificant. Under the guidance, the borrowers that are considered to be current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. In addition, modification or deferral programs mandated by the U.S. federal government or any state government related to COVID-19 are not in the scope of accounting for TDRs, as defined in ASC 310-40.
Allowance for Credit Losses
As discussed in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K, Peoples' estimates the allowance for credit losses using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In management's estimation of expected credit losses, Peoples uses a one year reasonable and supportable period across all segments. Following the reasonable and supportable period, Peoples reverts the macroeconomic variables to their long run average over a four quarter reversion period.

26
Changes in the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 are summarized below:

During the first quarter of 2023, Peoples recorded a provision for credit losses for loans of $1.7 million, largely attributable to a deterioration of macro-economic conditions and an increase in charge-off activity, partially offset by a reduction in reserves for

individually analyzed loans. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2023 were $1.5 million, primarily due to net charge-offs of indirect consumer loans of $0.9 million.
During the first quarter of 2022, Peoples recorded a recovery of credit losses of $6.8 million driven by a continued improvement in economic factors and changes in loss drivers used in the CECL model. Leases designated as purchased-credit deteriorated ("PCD") acquired from Vantage increased the allowance for credit losses by $132,000. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2022 were $1.9 million, and included charge-offs of two commercial and industrial loans aggregating $0.7 million.
Peoples had recorded an allowance for unfunded commitments of $2.1 million as of March 31, 2023, an increase compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 2022. The allowance for unfunded commitments (also referred to as "unfunded commitment liability") is presented in the “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” line of the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in the allowance for unfunded commitments is also reflected in the "Provision for (recovery of) credit losses" line of the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 8 Employee Benefit Plans
Peoples sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all employees hired before January 1, 2010. The plan provides retirement benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation. For employees hired before January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on the employee’s average monthly compensation over the highest five consecutive years out of the employee’s last ten years with Peoples while an eligible employee. For employees hired on or after January 1, 2003, the amount of postretirement benefit is based on 2% of the employee’s annual compensation during the years 2003 through 2009, plus accrued interest. Effective January 1, 2010, the pension plan was closed to new entrants. Effective March 1, 2011, the accrual of pension plan benefits for all participants was frozen. Peoples recognized this freeze as a curtailment as of December 31, 2010 and March 1, 2011, under the terms of the pension plan. Effective July 1, 2013, a participant in the pension plan who is employed by Peoples may elect to receive or to commence receiving such person's retirement benefits as of the later of such person's normal retirement date or the first day of the month first following the date such person makes an election to receive his or her retirement benefits.
Peoples also provides post-retirement health and life insurance benefits to certain former employees and directors. Only those individuals who retired before January 27, 2012 were eligible for life insurance benefits. As of January 1, 2011, all retirees who desire to participate in the Peoples Bank medical plan do so by electing COBRA, which provides up to 18 months of coverage; retirees over the age of 65 also have the option to pay to participate in a group Medicare supplemental plan. Peoples only pays 100% of the cost of health benefits for those individuals who retired before January 1, 1993. For all others, the retiree is responsible for most, if not all, of the cost of the health benefits. Peoples’ policy is to fund the cost of the benefits as they arise.

30
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, which was determined as of January 1, 2023, is 7.0%. The following table details the components of the net periodic cost for the noncontributory defined benefit pension plan described above, which is included in salaries and employee benefit costs on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Under US GAAP, Peoples is required to recognize a settlement gain or loss when the aggregate amount of lump-sum distributions to participants equals or exceeds the sum of the service and interest cost components of the net periodic pension cost. The amount of settlement gain or loss recognized is the pro rata amount of the unrealized gain or loss existing immediately prior to the settlement. In general, both the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets are required to be remeasured in order to determine the settlement gain or loss.
Peoples did not record a settlement charge during the three months ended March 31, 2023 or March 31, 2022 under the noncontributory defined benefit pension plan.

Note 10 Derivative Financial Instruments
Peoples utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset/liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is included in the "Other assets" and the "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" lines in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, while cash activity related to these derivative financial instruments is included in the activity in "Net cash provided by operating activities" in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

31
Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities - Risk Management Objective of Using Derivative Financial Instruments
Peoples is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Peoples principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. Peoples manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its assets and liabilities. Peoples also manages interest rate risk through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, Peoples enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known or expected cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. Peoples’ derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of Peoples' known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain variable rate borrowings. Peoples also has interest rate derivative financial instruments that result from a service provided to certain qualifying customers and, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in Peoples' assets or liabilities. Peoples manages a matched book with respect to customer-related derivative financial instruments in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Peoples' objectives in using interest rate derivative financial instruments are to add stability to interest income and expense, and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. At March 31, 2023, Peoples had entered into thirteen interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $125.0 million. Peoples will pay a fixed rate of interest for up to ten years while receiving a floating rate component of interest equal to the three-month LIBOR rate. The interest received on the floating rate component is intended to offset the interest paid on rolling three-month brokered CDs, which will continue to be rolled through the life of the swaps. At March 31, 2023 and at December 31, 2022, the interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of $125.0 million in brokered CDs, which are expected to be extended every 90 days through the maturity dates of the swaps.
For derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the effective and ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of each derivative financial instrument is reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income ("AOCI") (outside of earnings), net of tax, and are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made or received on Peoples' variable-rate liabilities. Peoples assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the hedging derivative financial instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged transaction. The reset dates and the payment dates on the brokered CDs are matched to the reset dates and payment dates on the receipt of the three-month LIBOR floating portion of the swaps to ensure effectiveness of the cash flow hedge. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, Peoples had recorded reclassifications of gains to earnings of $0.1 million and reclassifications of losses to earnings of $0.6 million, respectively. During the next twelve months, Peoples estimates that $1.3 million of AOCI will be reclassified as a reduction to interest expense.

Non-Designated Hedges
Peoples maintains an interest rate protection program for commercial loan customers, which was established in 2010. Under this program, Peoples originates variable rate loans with interest rate swaps, where the customer enters into an interest rate swap with Peoples on terms that match the terms of the loan. By entering into the interest rate swap with the customer, Peoples Bank effectively provides the customer with a fixed rate loan while creating a variable rate asset for Peoples Bank. Peoples Bank offsets its exposure in the swap by entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with an unaffiliated institution. These interest rate swaps do not qualify as designated hedges; therefore, each swap is accounted for as a standalone derivative financial instrument. These interest rate swaps did not have a material impact on Peoples' results of operations or financial condition at or for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and as of or for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Pledged Collateral
Peoples pledges or receives collateral for all interest rate swaps. When the fair value of Peoples' interest rate swaps is in a net liability position, Peoples must pledge collateral, and, when the fair value of Peoples' interest rate swaps is in a net asset position, the respective counterparties must pledge collateral. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Peoples had no cash pledged, while counterparties had $16.7 million of cash pledged at March 31, 2023 and $20.9 million of cash pledged at December 31, 2022. Peoples had no pledged investment securities at March 31, 2023 or at December 31, 2022, while the counterparties had pledged investment securities in the amounts of $2.4 million at March 31, 2023 and $2.5 million at December 31, 2022.
Note 11 Stock-Based Compensation
Under the Peoples Bancorp Inc. Third Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Plan (the "2006 Equity Plan"), Peoples may grant, among other awards, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted common share awards, stock appreciation rights, performance units and unrestricted common share awards to employees and non-employee directors. The total number of common shares available under the 2006 Equity Plan is 891,340. The maximum number of common shares that can be issued for incentive stock options is 500,000 common shares. Since February 2009, Peoples has granted restricted common shares to employees, and periodically to non-employee directors, subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by the 2006 Equity Plan. In general, common shares issued in connection with stock-based awards are issued from treasury shares to the extent available. If no treasury shares are available, common shares are issued from authorized but unissued common shares.

33
Restricted Common Shares
 Under the 2006 Equity Plan, Peoples may award restricted common shares to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. In general, the restrictions on the restricted common shares awarded to employees expire after periods ranging from one to five years. Since 2018, common shares awarded to non-employee directors have vested immediately upon grant with no restrictions. In the first three months of 2023, Peoples granted an aggregate of 188,372 restricted common shares subject to performance-based vesting to officers and key employees with restrictions that will lapse three years after the grant date; provided that in order for the restricted common shares to vest in full, Peoples must have reported positive net income and maintained a well-capitalized status by regulatory standards for each of the three fiscal years preceding the vesting date.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the total intrinsic value for restricted common shares released was $2.3 million compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Stock-Based Compensation
Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation, which is included as a component of Peoples’ salaries and employee benefit costs, for restricted and unrestricted common shares, as well as purchases made by participants in the employee stock purchase plan. For restricted common shares, Peoples recognizes stock-based compensation based on the estimated fair value of the awards expected to vest on the grant date. The estimated fair value is then expensed over the vesting period, which is normally three years. Peoples also has an employee stock purchase plan whereby employees can purchase Peoples' common shares at a discount of 15%. The following table summarizes the amount of stock-based compensation expense and related tax benefit recognized for each period:

Note 13 Acquisitions
Vantage Financial, LLC
On March 7, 2022, Peoples Bank purchased 100% of the equity of Vantage, a nationwide provider of equipment financing headquartered in Excelsior, Minnesota. Peoples Bank acquired assets comprising Vantage's lease business, including $154.9 million in leases and certain third-party debt in the amount of $106.9 million. Under the terms of the agreement, Peoples Bank paid cash consideration of $54.0 million, and also repaid $28.9 million in recourse debt on behalf of Vantage, for total consideration of $82.9 million. Vantage offers mid-ticket equipment leases, primarily for business essential information technology equipment across a wide-array of industries.

Peoples recorded acquisition-related expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 of $45,000 and $0.8 million, respectively, in professional fees related to the Vantage acquisition.

The goodwill recorded in connection with the Vantage acquisition is related to expected synergies to be gained from the combination of Vantage with Peoples' operations. The employees retained from the Vantage acquisition should allow Peoples to continue to grow the lease portfolio, along with Peoples' resources, and should benefit Peoples in future periods. During Peoples' evaluation of intangible assets, it was determined that an assembled workforce intangible asset was not separately recognizable and was included in goodwill. Peoples recorded other intangible assets, which included a customer relationship intangible, a trade-name intangible and non-compete agreements related to this transaction.

Note 14 Leases
Peoples has elected certain practical expedients, in accordance with ASC 842 - Leases ("ASC 842"). As a lessor, Peoples has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the consideration in the contract, and from variable payments not included in the consideration in the contract, all sales and other similar taxes assessed. Peoples has also made an accounting policy election to account for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease components as a single lease component for all leases subject to ASC 842.
Lessor Arrangements
Leases originated by Peoples, that Peoples has the positive intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or to maturity or payoff, are reported at the net investment of the lease, net of initial direct costs, charge-offs and an allowance for credit losses. Peoples considers leases past due if any required principal or interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the lease agreement. Upon detection of the reduced ability of a lessee to meet cash flow obligations, leases are typically charged down to the net realizable value, with the residual balance placed on nonaccrual status. Leases

36
deemed to be uncollectable are charged against the allowance for credit losses, while recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for credit losses.
Peoples began originating leases with the acquisition of leases from NSL in the second quarter of 2021, and expanded its lease portfolio with the acquisition of Vantage in the first quarter of 2022. The leases acquired from NSL were determined to be sales-type leases, as the premise for these leases is dollar buy-out, whereby the lessee pays one dollar at maturity of the lease to purchase the equipment. Originated leases continue to be classified as sales-type leases. These leases do not typically contain residual value guarantees; however, if a lease contains a residual value guarantee, Peoples reduces its residual asset risk by obtaining a security deposit from the lessee. The leases acquired from Vantage were determined to be either sales-type or direct financing leases based primarily on whether they included a dollar buy-out or a fair market value buy-out, respectively. As a lessor, Peoples originates commercial equipment leases either directly to the customer or indirectly through vendor programs. Equipment leases consist of automotive, construction, health care, manufacturing, office, restaurant, information technology and other equipment. These leases include an estimated residual value, which is assessed for impairment as part of the allowance for credit losses. Other non-interest income noted in the table below includes gain on the early termination of leases, syndicated leases, and other fees. Additional information regarding Peoples' leases can be found in "Note 4 Loans and Leases."

Lessee Arrangements
Peoples leases certain banking facilities and equipment under various agreements with original terms providing for fixed monthly payments over periods generally ranging from two to thirty years. Certain leases may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Only those renewal and termination options which Peoples is reasonably certain of exercising are included in the calculation of the lease liability. Certain leases contain rent escalation clauses calling for rent increases over the term of the lease, which are included in the calculation of the lease liability. At March 31, 2023, Peoples did not have any leases that met the criteria for finance leases. Right of Use ("ROU") assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to

37
make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement or remeasurement date of a lease based on the present value of lease payments over the remaining lease term. Operating lease ROU assets include lease payments made at or before the commencement date and initial indirect costs. Operating lease ROU assets exclude lease incentives. Short-term leases of certain facilities and equipment, with lease terms of 12 months or less, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not have a ROU asset or lease liability.

Peoples utilizes an incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments for each lease, as the lease agreements do not provide an implicit rate. The estimated incremental borrowing rate reflects a secured rate and is based on the term of the lease and the interest rate environment at the lease commencement or remeasurement date.

Peoples encourages readers of this Form 10-Q to understand forward-looking statements to be strategic objectives rather than absolute targets of future performance. Peoples undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the filing of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by applicable legal requirements. Copies of documents filed with the SEC are available free of charge at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov and/or from Peoples' website – www.peoplesbancorp.com under the “Investor Relations” section.
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the filing date of this Form 10-Q and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements.  Although management believes the expectations in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of management’s knowledge of Peoples’ business and operations, it is possible that actual results may differ materially from these projections.
This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, and Notes thereto, contained in Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K, as well as the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, ratios, statistics and discussions contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Business Overview
The following discussion and analysis of Peoples’ Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is presented to provide insight into management’s assessment of the financial condition and results of operations.
Peoples is a diversified financial services holding company that makes available a complete line of banking, trust and investment, insurance, premium financing and equipment leasing solutions through its subsidiaries. Peoples provides services through traditional offices, ATMs, mobile banking and telephone and internet-based banking. Peoples offers a complete array of insurance products through Peoples Insurance, a subsidiary of Peoples Bank. Brokerage services are offered by Peoples exclusively through an unaffiliated registered broker-dealer located at Peoples Bank's offices. Peoples Bank offers insurance premium finance lending nationwide through its Peoples Premium Finance division. Peoples also offers lease financing through its North Star Leasing division and through Vantage, a subsidiary of Peoples Bank. As of March 31, 2023, Peoples had 130 locations, including 113 full-service bank branches in Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Washington D.C. and Maryland. Peoples Bank is subject to regulation and examination primarily by the Ohio Division of Financial Institutions (the "ODFI"), the FRB of Cleveland and the FDIC. Peoples Bank must also follow the regulations promulgated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "CFPB") which regulates consumer financial products and services and certain financial services providers. Peoples Insurance is subject to regulation by the Ohio Department of Insurance and the state insurance regulatory agencies of those states in which Peoples Insurance may do business.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of Peoples conform to US GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Note 1 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements describes Peoples' significant accounting policies. Management has identified the accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to understanding Peoples’ Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and MD&A at March 31, 2023, which have been disclosed in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K and updated in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in this Form 10-Q. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the policies disclosed in Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K.
Summary of Recent Transactions and Events
The following is a summary of recent transactions and events that have impacted or are expected to impact Peoples’ results of operations or financial condition:
◦On October 25, 2022, Peoples announced the Limestone Merger, a transaction valued at approximately $208.2 million at the time of the announcement. The Limestone Merger closed on April 30, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, Peoples had recognized $1.0 million in acquisition-related expenses associated with this pending transaction.
◦On April 1, 2022, Peoples Insurance acquired substantially all of the assets and rights of an insurance agency with five locations in eastern Kentucky and certain rights to related customer accounts, which were previously developed and

41
maintained by Elite, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement between Peoples Insurance and Elite. Total consideration for this transaction was $4.4 million. Peoples recognized intangibles of $2.1 million, primarily comprised of a customer relationship intangible.
◦On March 7, 2022, Peoples completed its acquisition of Vantage pursuant to an Equity Purchase Agreement, dated February 16, 2022, in which Peoples Bank purchased 100% of the equity of Vantage. Peoples Bank acquired assets comprising Vantage's lease business, including $154.9 million in leases and certain third-party debt in the amount of $106.9 million. Peoples paid total consideration of $82.9 million. Based in Excelsior, Minnesota, Vantage offers mid-ticket equipment leases primarily for business essential information technology equipment across a wide array of industries. Peoples recorded goodwill in the amount of $27.2 million and other intangible assets of $13.2 million, which included a customer relationship intangible, a trade-name intangible and non-compete agreements related to this transaction.
◦During the first quarter of 2023, Peoples recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.9 million, compared to a provision for credit losses of $2.3 million in the linked quarter and a recovery of credit losses of $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2022. The provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2023 was largely attributable to a deterioration of macro-economic conditions and an increase in charge-off activity, partially offset by a reduction in reserves for individually analyzed loans. For more information, please refer to the section titled "RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses" found later in this discussion.
◦During the first quarter of 2023, Peoples incurred $0.6 million of acquisition-related expenses, compared to $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2022. The acquisition-related expenses in 2023 were primarily related to the Limestone Merger, while the acquisition-related expenses in 2022 were primarily related to the Vantage acquisition.
◦To combat the effects of ongoing inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve Board increased the Federal Funds Target Rate range to 0.25% to 0.50% on March 16, 2022, to 0.75% to 1.00% on May 4, 2022, to 1.50% to 1.75% on June 15, 2022, to 2.25% to 2.50% on July 27, 2022, to 3.00% to 3.25% on September 21, 2022, to 3.75% to 4.00% on November 2, 2022, to 4.25% to 4.50% on December 14, 2022, to 4.50% to 4.75% on February 1, 2023, to 4.75% to 5.00% on March 23, 2023, 5.00% to 5.25% on May 3, 2023 and has stated it may continue to raise rates throughout 2023.
The impact of these transactions and events, where material, is discussed in the applicable sections of this MD&A.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Peoples reported net income of $26.6 million for the first quarter of 2023, representing earnings per diluted common share of $0.94. In comparison, Peoples reported earnings per diluted common share of $0.95 for the fourth quarter of 2022, and of $0.84 for the first quarter of 2022. Non-core items, and the related tax effect of each, in net income primarily included acquisition-related expenses. Non-core items negatively impacted earnings per diluted common share by $0.05 for the first quarter of 2023, $0.03 for the fourth quarter of 2022, and $0.04 for the first quarter of 2022.
Net interest income was $72.9 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $2.3 million, or 3%, compared to the linked quarter. Net interest margin was 4.53% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 4.44% for the linked quarter. The increases in net interest income and net interest margin were driven by 50 basis points of improvement in loan yields due to recent increases in market interest rates and a shift in the composition of the loan portfolio into higher-yielding leases, and 41 basis points of improvement in investment yields when compared to the linked quarter due to purchases of investment securities with higher interest rates and sales of lower-yielding investment securities. Net interest income for the first quarter of 2023 increased $18.6 million, or 34%, compared to the first quarter of 2022. Net interest margin increased 112 basis points compared to 3.41% for the first quarter of 2022. The increase in net interest income compared to the first quarter of 2022 was driven by increases in market interest rates and a full quarter of income from the Vantage acquisition.
Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, $2.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, which added 13 basis points, 14 basis points and 17 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The decreases in accretion income for the first quarter of 2023 when compared to the linked quarter and the first quarter of 2022 were driven by less loan accretion due to lower pay-offs and less accretion from the merger with Premier Financial Bancorp, Inc. ("Premier") and the Vantage acquisition.

The provision for credit losses was $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to a provision for credit losses of $2.3 million for the linked quarter and a recovery of credit losses of $6.8 million for the first quarter of 2022. The provisions for credit losses in the first quarter of 2023 and the linked quarter were largely attributable to a deterioration of macro-economic conditions and an increase in charge-off activity, partially offset by a reduction in reserves for individually analyzed loans. The recovery of credit losses in the first quarter of 2022 was attributable to an improvement in economic factors and loss drivers within the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2023 were $1.5 million, or 0.13% of average total loans annualized, compared to net charge-offs of $2.1 million, or 0.18% of average total loans annualized, for the linked quarter and net charge-offs of $1.9 million, or 0.17% of average total loans annualized, for the first quarter of 2022. For additional information on credit trends and the allowance for credit losses, see the "FINANCIAL CONDITION - Allowance for Credit Losses" section below.
Net gains and losses include gains and losses on investment securities, asset disposals and other transactions, which are included in total non-interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The net loss realized during the first quarter of 2023 was $2.2 million, compared to a net loss of $0.5 million for the linked quarter, and a net gain of $3,000 for the first quarter of 2022. During the first quarter of 2023, Peoples executed the sale of $96.7 million of its lower yielding available-for-sale securities for a pre-tax net loss of $2.0 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay down overnight borrowings. The realized losses recognized due to these transactions are projected to be earned back within the 2023 fiscal year. The net loss for the linked quarter was primarily due to net losses on repossessed assets and net losses on sales of investment securities.
Total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, for the first quarter of 2023 increased $1.7 million compared to the linked quarter. The increase in non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, was due to a $1.7 million increase in insurance income due to seasonal performance-based commissions being earned in the first quarter of each year. Compared to the first quarter of 2022, non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, increased $1.2 million, primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in insurance income which was attributable to an increase in property and casualty insurance commissions.
Total non-interest expense increased $3.1 million, or 6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the linked quarter. The increase in total non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2023 was attributable to an increase in salaries and employee benefit costs. The increase in salaries and employee benefit costs was due to anticipated additional expenses typically recognized in the first quarter of each year. These expenses included annual merit increases, stock-based compensation expenses attributable to retirement-eligible employees, and employer health savings account ("HSA") contributions. Compared to the first quarter of 2022, total non-interest expense increased $4.9 million, or 9%, primarily due to increases in (i) salaries and employee benefit costs, (ii) data processing and software expense and (iii) other non-interest expense. The increases were due to growth, including through acquisitions. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in electronic banking expense and professional fees.
The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2023 was 57.8%, compared to 56.7% for the linked quarter, and 66.8% for the first quarter of 2022. The increase in the efficiency ratio compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to the increases in non-interest expenses, which were partially offset by higher net interest income due to increases in the market interest rates. The decrease in the efficiency ratio compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to a decrease in acquisition-related expenses. The efficiency ratio, adjusted for non-core items, was 57.2% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 55.9% for the linked quarter and 64.8% for the first quarter of 2022. The efficiency ratio is typically higher in the first quarter of the year driven by the aforementioned salaries and employee benefit costs, and specifically by higher payroll taxes, employer HSA contributions and stock-based compensation expenses for certain employees. Peoples continues to focus on controlling expenses, while recognizing some necessary costs in order to continue growing the business.
Peoples recorded income tax expense of $7.0 million with an effective tax rate of 21.0% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to income tax expense of $7.1 million with an effective tax rate of 21.0% for the linked quarter, and income tax expense of $6.0 million with an effective tax rate of 20.2% for the first quarter of 2022. The increase in income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, was driven by higher income before income taxes.
At March 31, 2023, total assets were $7.31 billion, compared to $7.21 billion at December 31, 2022 and $7.24 billion at March 31, 2022. The $104.2 million increase in total assets compared to at December 31, 2022 was primarily due to increases in held-to-maturity investment securities and loans and leases, net of deferred fees and costs, partially offset by a decrease in available-for-sale investment securities. Management underwent an initiative during the first quarter of 2023 to sell lower yielding available-for-sale investment securities whose proceeds were used to pay down higher cost funding. Separately, the increase in the period-end loan and lease balances was primarily driven by increases of (i) $57.5 million in other commercial real estate loans, (ii) $17.8 million in indirect consumer loans and (iii) $9.5 million in leases, partially offset by a reductions of $14.6 million in construction loans and $10.8 million in residential real estate loans. The $72.3 million increase in total assets compared to at March 31, 2022 was largely attributable to increases in loans and leases as well as the aforementioned net increase in investment securities, partially offset by decreases in interest-bearing deposits at other banks. The increase in the period-end loan and lease balances when compared to at March 31, 2022 was primarily driven by increases of $122.4 million in indirect consumer loans and $87.6 million in leases, partially offset by a reduction of $43.8 million in residential real estate loans.
Total liabilities were $6.49 billion at March 31, 2023, up from $6.42 billion at December 31, 2022 and $6.43 billion at March 31, 2022. The increase in total liabilities compared to at December 31, 2022 was attributable to an increase in total deposits and long-term

43
borrowings. The increase in total deposits when compared to at December 31, 2022 was primarily driven by an increase of $147.6 million in brokered certificates of deposits, which are primarily used as a source of funding. Excluding the increase in brokered certificates of deposits, total deposits at March 31, 2023 decreased $76.0 million when compared to at December 31, 2022, primarily due to reductions of (i) $75.0 million in interest-bearing deposit accounts (ii) $43.9 million in savings accounts, (iii) $37.9 million in money market deposit accounts, and (iv) $34.3 million in non-interest bearing deposit accounts, partially offset by an increase of $91.9 million in retail certificates of deposit. The increase in total liabilities compared to at March 31, 2022 was primarily due to an increase in short-term borrowings, partially offset decreases in total deposits and long-term borrowings. Deposits decreased primarily due to reductions in non-interest-bearing deposits, interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, governmental deposit accounts, and money market deposit accounts of $111.6 million, $94.0 million, $85.5 million and $77.2 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase of $185.8 million in brokered certificates of deposits.
Total stockholders' equity at March 31, 2023 increased by $34.2 million compared to at December 31, 2022, which reflected net income for the quarter of $26.6 million and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $16.2 million, partially offset by dividends paid of $10.7 million. The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss was the result of the changes in the market value of available-for-sale investment securities during the period. Accumulated unrealized losses related to the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio were $112.7 million and $129.9 million at March 31, 2023 and at December 31, 2022, respectively. Total stockholders' equity at March 31, 2023 increased by $11.2 million compared to at March 31, 2022, which was primarily due to net income of $104.3 million in the last twelve months partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $48.3 million. The increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss was the result of an increase of $51.5 million in unrealized losses related to the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio from March 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income, the amount by which interest income exceeds interest expense, remains Peoples' largest source of revenue.  The amount of net interest income earned by Peoples each quarter is affected by various factors, including changes in market interest rates due to the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy, the level and degree of pricing competition for loans and deposits in Peoples’ markets, and the amount and composition of Peoples' earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. 
Net interest margin, which is calculated by dividing FTE net interest income by average interest-earning assets, serves as an important measurement of the net revenue stream generated by the volume, mix and pricing of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  FTE net interest income is calculated by increasing interest income to convert tax-exempt income earned on obligations of states and political subdivisions and tax-exempt loans to the pre-tax equivalent of taxable income using a blended corporate income tax rate of 23.3% for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and a 22.9% blended corporate income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

(e)Interest related to interest rate swap transactions is included, as appropriate to the transaction, in interest expense on short-term FHLB advances and interest expense on brokered deposits for the periods presented in which FHLB advances and brokered deposits were being utilized.
Peoples' average balances compared to prior periods have been impacted by recent acquisitions, including Vantage on March 7, 2022, which added to average lease and borrowed funds balances. Peoples has begun to reduce cash balances after previously maintaining high cash balances in recent prior periods due to an influx of deposits.

(a)The change in interest due to both rate and volume has been allocated to rate and volume changes in proportion to the relationship of the dollar amounts of the change in each.
(b)Interest income and yields are presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis using a 23.3% blended corporate income tax rate for each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and a 22.9% blended corporate income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Compared to the linked quarter, net interest income increased 3% and net interest margin expanded by 9 basis points. Both increases were primarily driven by 50 basis points of improvement in loan yields due to recent increases in market interest rates and a shift in the composition of the loan portfolio into higher-yielding leases, which resulted in 41 basis points of improvement in investment yields when compared to the linked quarter due to purchases of investment securities with higher interest rates and sales of lower-yielding investment securities. Borrowing costs increased 105 basis points as a result of increase in short-term borrowings due to utilizing overnight FHLB advances and brokered certificates of deposits in recent quarters.
Net interest income grew 34% over the prior year quarter and net interest margin increased by 112 basis points. The increase in net interest income compared to the first quarter of 2022 was driven by increases in market interest rates and a full quarter of income from the Vantage acquisition. Compared to the prior year quarter, loan yields grew 162 basis points due to the rising interest rate environment and both acquisitive and organic growth, while borrowing costs increased 247 basis points as a result of increase in short-term borrowings due to the utilization of FHLB overnight advances mentioned above.
Peoples recognized interest income on deferred loan fees/costs associated with PPP loans of $1.2 million during the first quarter of 2022 along with $154,000 of interest earned on PPP loans. The interest income recognized on PPP loans added 5 basis points to net interest margin for the first quarter of 2022. The deferred loan fees/costs associated with PPP loans and interest earned on PPP loans were minimal for the first quarter of 2023 and the linked quarter.
Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, $2.2 million for the linked quarter and $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2022, which added 13 basis points, 14 basis points and 17 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The decreases in accretion income for the first quarter of 2023 when compared to the linked quarter and the first quarter of 2022 were driven by less loan accretion due to lower pay-offs and less accretion from the merger with Premier and the Vantage acquisition.
Additional information regarding changes in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets can be found under appropriate captions of the “FINANCIAL CONDITION” section of this MD&A. Additional information regarding Peoples' interest rate risk and the potential impact of interest rate changes on Peoples' results of operations and financial condition can be found later in this MD&A under the caption "FINANCIAL CONDITION - Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity."

(a) Presented on an annualized basis.
The provision for (recovery of) credit losses recorded represents the amount needed to maintain the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses based on management’s quarterly estimates. The provisions for credit losses in the first quarter of 2023 and the linked quarter were largely attributable to a deterioration of macro-economic conditions and an increase in charge-off activity, partially offset by a reduction in reserves for individually analyzed loans.
During the first quarter of 2022, Peoples recorded a recovery of credit losses of $6.8 million due to an improvement in the economic forecast, along with payoffs of several loans during the quarter, which were partially offset by $0.4 million for the establishment of an allowance for credit losses for the non-purchased credit deteriorated leases from the Vantage acquisition.
Additional information regarding changes in the allowance for credit losses and loan credit quality can be found later in this MD&A under the caption “FINANCIAL CONDITION - Allowance for Credit Losses.”

Net loss on OREO(10)— (1)
Net loss on other transactions (7)(23)(104)
Net loss on asset disposals and other transactions$(246)$(301)$(127)
The net loss on investment securities in the first quarter of 2023 due to a $2.0 million pre-tax net loss on the sale of the available-for-sale investment securities. During the first quarter of 2023, Peoples executed the sale of $96.7 million of its lower yielding available-for-sale securities which were used to pay down overnight borrowings. The loss on the sale of the securities had a nominal impact on tangible book value as such loss was previously reflected in capital through accumulated other comprehensive loss. The realized losses recognized due to these transactions are projected to be earned back within the 2023 fiscal year.
The net loss on asset disposals and other transactions decreased slightly in the first quarter of 2023 when compared to the linked quarter and increased when compared to the prior year quarter. The net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was primarily due to net losses on furniture and fixture disposals. The net loss for the linked quarter was primarily due to net losses on other assets, which was mainly due to net losses on repossessed assets.
During the first three months of 2022, Peoples sold several investment securities, resulting in a net gain on investment securities, which was offset by a net loss on other transactions primarily driven by an adjustment to the gain on sale of loans recognized in the fourth quarter of 2022, and was driven by changes to the acquisition-date fair value of loans acquired in the merger with Premier that were subsequently sold.
Total Non-Interest Income, Excluding Net Gains and Losses
Total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, comprised 23% of Peoples' total revenues (defined as net interest income plus total non-interest income excluding net gains and losses) for the first quarter of 2023, compared to 22% for the linked quarter and 27% for the prior year quarter. The increase in this ratio compared to the linked quarter was due to an increase in insurance income due to seasonal performance-based commissions being earned in the first quarter of each year. The decline in this ratio compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to higher net interest income associated with a full quarter of income from the acquisition of Vantage coupled with the increases in the market interest rates.
For the first quarter of 2023, electronic banking income comprised the largest portion of Peoples' total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses. Peoples' electronic banking ("e-banking") services include ATM and debit cards, direct deposit services, internet and mobile banking, and remote deposit capture, and serve as alternative delivery channels to traditional sales offices for providing services to customers. The following table details Peoples' e-banking income:

E-banking income$5,443 $5,161 $5,253 
Peoples' e-banking income is derived largely from ATM and debit cards, as other services are mainly provided at no charge to customers. The amount of e-banking income is largely dependent on the timing and volume of customer activity. E-banking income increased compared to each of the linked quarter and the prior year quarter primarily due to more customer activity.

During the first quarter of 2023, Peoples' insurance income grew 45% when compared to the linked quarter. This increase in insurance income was due to seasonal performance-based commissions being earned, which are annual in nature and typically occur in the first quarter of each year. Compared to the first quarter of 2022, insurance income increased 15% and was driven by higher performance-based property and casualty insurance commissions.
Peoples' fiduciary income and brokerage income continued to be based primarily upon the value of assets under administration and management, with additional income generated from transaction commissions, cross-selling of products and additional retirement plan services business.

Trust and investment income$4,084 $3,915 $4,276 
Fiduciary income and brokerage income increased slightly in the current quarter relative to the linked quarter, due to an increase in assets under administration and management. When compared to the first quarter of 2022, trust and investment income declined due to less fiduciary income, primarily due to market volatility.

The increases in assets under administration and management at March 31, 2023, compared to at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 were driven by market value fluctuations and a $30 million increase in brokerage assets due to an acquisition of an independent financial advisor in January of 2023.
Deposit account service charges are based on the recovery of costs associated with services provided. The following table details Peoples' deposit account service charges:

Deposit account service charges$3,523 $3,766 $3,426 
The amount of deposit account service charges, particularly fees for overdrafts and non-sufficient funds, is largely dependent on the timing and volume of customer activity. Management periodically evaluates its cost recovery fees to ensure they are reasonable based on operational costs and similar to fees charged in Peoples' markets by competitors. Deposit account service charges decreased

49
for the current quarter compared to the linked quarter due to a decline in overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees. Deposit account service charges increased slightly for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to increased maintenance fee rates.
The following table details the other items included within Peoples' total non-interest income:

Bank owned life insurance income707 702 431 
Mortgage banking income314 281 436 
Other non-interest income668 611 719 
Lease income is primarily comprised of (i) gains on the early termination of leases, (ii) fees received for referrals, (iii) gains and losses recognized on the sales of residual assets and (iv) syndication income. The first quarter of 2023 decrease in lease income when compared to the linked quarter was due to seasonal fluctuations in syndication income, as the fourth quarter of each year typically has a higher volume of originations. The first quarter of 2023 increase in lease income when compared to the first quarter of 2022 was due to a full quarter of income from the Vantage acquisition in 2023 versus only a month of income in 2022.
Bank owned life insurance income for the current quarter was relatively flat compared to the linked quarter and increased when compared to the same 2022 period. The first quarter of 2023 increase in bank owned life insurance income when compared to the first quarter of 2022 was due to an additional $30.0 million of investments in bank owned life insurance policies during the second quarter of 2022.
Mortgage banking income is comprised mostly of net gains from the origination and sale of real estate loans in the secondary market, and, to a lesser extent, servicing income for loans sold with servicing retained. As a result, the amount of income recognized by Peoples is largely dependent on customer demand and long-term interest rates for residential real estate loans offered in the secondary market. Mortgage banking income for the current quarter was relatively flat when compared to the linked quarter. Mortgage banking income declined for the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter due to the increased market interest rate environment in recent quarters and a lower volume of new loan originations.
In the first quarter of 2023, Peoples sold $0.8 million in loans to the secondary market with servicing retained and $7.4 million in loans with servicing released, compared to $2.5 million and $9.5 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2022, and $7.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively, in the first quarter of 2022.
Non-Interest Expense
Salaries and employee benefit costs remain Peoples' largest non-interest expense, accounting for over one-half of total non-interest expense.  The following table details Peoples' salaries and employee benefit costs:

Full-time equivalent employees:  
Actual at end of period1,286 1,267 1,245 
Average during the period1,283 1,261 1,215 
Base salaries and wages for the current quarter increased compared to linked quarter primarily due to annual merit increases. The current quarter increase compared to the prior year quarter was primarily driven by a rise in annual merit increases as well as a full quarter of expenses related to the additional salaries associated with the acquisition of Vantage.
The increases in employee benefits for the current quarter compared to the linked quarter, was primarily due to annual contributions to employee health savings accounts that occur primarily in the first quarter of each year. The increase in employee

50
benefits for the current quarter compared to the first quarter of 2022 was due to higher medical costs reflecting a full quarter of expenses in 2023 for the Vantage employees versus a month of expenses in the first quarter of 2022.
The decrease in sales-based and incentive compensation for the current quarter compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to the overall company performance measures used in calculating retail incentive awards.
Payroll taxes and other employment costs increased compared to the prior quarter and the first quarter of 2022 and were primarily related to higher base salaries and wages. Also impacting the increase in payroll taxes and other employment costs when compared to the linked quarter were seasonal expenses recognized in the first quarter of each year.
Stock-based compensation is generally recognized over the vesting period, which generally ranges from immediate vesting to vesting at the end of three years. An adjustment is made at the vesting date to reverse expense relating to forfeitures for performance awards, and at the date of forfeiture to reverse expense for non-vested restricted awards. Stock grants to retirement eligible grantees are expensed either immediately or over a shorter period than three years. The majority of Peoples' stock-based compensation is attributable to annual equity-based incentive awards to employees, which are awarded in the first quarter of each year and are based upon Peoples achieving certain performance goals during the prior year and are generally contingent on employment through the vesting period. Stock-based compensation for the first three months of 2023 increased when compared to the first three months of 2022 due to additional employees, including the ones added in the acquisition of Vantage.
Deferred personnel costs represent the portion of current period salaries and employee benefit costs considered to be direct loan origination costs.  These costs are capitalized and recognized over the life of the loan as a yield adjustment in interest income.  As a result, the amount of deferred personnel costs for each period corresponds directly with the volume of loan originations, coupled with the average deferred costs per loan that are updated annually at the beginning of each year. The decrease in deferred personnel costs for the current quarter compared to the linked quarter was primarily due to a prior period adjustment of costs to originate leases.
Peoples' net occupancy and equipment expense was comprised of the following:

Net occupancy and equipment expense$4,955 $4,847 $5,088 
The first quarter of 2023 net occupancy and equipment expense increased slightly when compared to the linked quarter due to increases in depreciation and property taxes, utilities and other costs, partially offset by reductions in repairs and maintenance costs and net rent expense. When compared to the first quarter of 2022, net occupancy and equipment expense decreased due to less depreciation, repairs and maintenance costs and property taxes, utilities and other costs due to having less geographic locations as of the first quarter of 2023.

Data processing and software expense increased when compared to the first quarter of 2022, driven by software upgrades and implementation of new systems, coupled with the increased size of Peoples' organization.

51
Professional fees decreased for the current quarter compared to the comparative periods due to less acquisition-related expenses being reported when compared to those periods.
Amortization of other intangible assets for the current quarter decreased when compared to the linked quarter due to decreased amortization of intangible assets recognized as a result of recent acquisitions. Amortization of other intangible assets for the current quarter increased when compared to the first quarter of 2022 due to amortization of intangible assets recognized in the Vantage acquisition.
Peoples' e-banking expense is comprised of costs associated with debit and ATM cards, as well as Internet and mobile banking costs. E-banking expense increased during the current quarter compared to the linked quarter, and is correlated to e-banking income, which also increased from the linked quarter primarily due to more customer activity. E-banking expense decreased for the first quarter of 2023 when compared to the first quarter of 2022 due to a decline in customer activity compared to last year.
Peoples is subject to state franchise taxes, which are based largely on Peoples' equity, in the states where Peoples has a physical presence. Franchise tax expense also includes the Ohio Financial Institution Tax ("FIT"), which is a business privilege tax that is imposed on financial institutions organized for profit and doing business in Ohio. The Ohio FIT is based on the total equity capital in proportion to the taxpayer's gross receipts in Ohio as of the most recent year-end. The increase versus the linked quarter was driven by a refund received in the linked quarter. The increase from the first quarter of 2022 was driven by recent growth through acquisitions and organic means.
Marketing expense increased for the first quarter of 2023 when compared to the linked quarter primarily due to higher media advertising expenses and donations compared to the prior period.
Peoples' FDIC insurance premiums decreased for the current quarter compared to the first quarter of 2022 due to an adjustment in the first quarter of 2022 relating to prior acquisitions.
Other loan expenses during the first three months of 2023 decreased when compared to the linked quarter primarily due to lower indirect lending volume and decreased collection expense.
Other non-interest expense increased during the current quarter when compared to the first quarter of 2022 due to an increase in acquisition-related expenses related to the Limestone Merger.
Income Tax Expense
Peoples recorded income tax expense of $7.0 million with an effective tax rate of 21.0% for the first quarter of 2023, compared to income tax expense of $7.1 million with an effective tax rate of 21.0% for the linked quarter and income tax expense of $6.0 million with an effective tax rate of 20.2% for the first quarter of 2022. Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2023, compared to the linked quarter, was relatively flat due to similar income before income taxes. The increase in income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, was driven by a higher income before income taxes.
Additional information regarding income taxes can be found in "Note 13. Income Taxes" of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K.
Pre-Provision Net Revenue (Non-US GAAP)
Pre-provision net revenue ("PPNR") has become a key financial measure used by state and federal bank regulatory agencies when assessing the capital adequacy of financial institutions. PPNR is defined as net interest income plus total non-interest income, excluding all gains and losses, minus total non-interest expense. As a result, PPNR represents the earnings capacity that can be either retained in order to build capital or used to absorb unexpected losses and preserve existing capital. This ratio represents a Non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the provision for (recovery of) credit losses and all gains and losses included in earnings.

The increase in the PPNR for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022 was driven by increased net interest income reflecting the positive impact of recent increases in market interest rates as well as a provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the recovery of credit losses in the first quarter of 2022.
Core Non-Interest Expense (Non-US GAAP)
Core non-interest expense is a financial measure used to evaluate Peoples' recurring expense stream. This measure is Non-US GAAP since it excludes the impact of all acquisition-related expenses, pension settlement charges and COVID-19-related expenses.

Efficiency Ratio (Non-US GAAP)
The efficiency ratio is a key financial measure used to monitor performance. The efficiency ratio is calculated as total non-interest expense (less amortization of other intangible assets) as a percentage of fully tax-equivalent net interest income plus total non-interest income excluding net gains and losses. This measure is Non-US GAAP since it excludes amortization of other intangible assets and all gains and losses included in earnings, and uses fully tax-equivalent net interest income.

The efficiency ratio and the efficiency ratio adjusted for non-core items for the first quarter of 2023 increased when compared to the linked quarter, primarily due to the increases in non-interest expenses due to seasonal first quarter expenses partially offset by higher net interest income driven by increases in the market interest rates. The improvements in the efficiency ratio and the efficiency ratio adjusted for non-core items compared to the prior year quarter were driven by higher net interest income due to increases in market interest rates over the last twelve months.
Return on Average Assets Adjusted for Non-Core Items Ratio (Non-US GAAP)
In addition to return on average assets, management uses return on average assets adjusted for non-core items to monitor performance. The return on average assets adjusted for non-core items ratio represents a Non-US GAAP financial measure since it excludes the after-tax impact of all gains and losses, acquisition-related expenses, pension settlement charges and COVID-19-related expenses.

The return on average assets for the current quarter decreased slightly when compared to the linked quarter, due to an increase in average assets. The increase in the return on average assets for the first quarter of 2023, compared to the first quarter of 2022, was attributable to higher net interest income and non-interest income, which were driven by the increases in market interest rates.
Return on Average Tangible Equity Ratio (Non-US GAAP)
The return on average tangible equity ratio is a key financial measure used to monitor performance. This ratio is calculated as annualized net income (less the after-tax impact of amortization of other intangible assets) divided by average tangible equity. This

55
measure is Non-US GAAP since it excludes amortization of other intangible assets from earnings and the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on total stockholders' equity.

(a) Based on a 21% statutory federal corporate income tax rate.
The return on total average stockholders' equity and average tangible equity ratios were lower in the current quarter relative to the linked quarter, due to issuance of treasury stock for employee stock awards in the first quarter as well as decreases in accumulated other comprehensive losses on available-for-sale investment securities, partially offset by an increase in total net interest income driven by the recent increases in market interest rates. The return on total average stockholders' equity and average tangible equity ratios were higher in the current quarter when compared to the same 2022 period due to greater accumulated other comprehensive losses on available-for-sale investment securities in 2023, which reduced average tangible equity.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash and Cash Equivalents
At March 31, 2023, Peoples' interest-bearing deposits in other banks had increased $0.7 million from December 31, 2022. The total cash and cash equivalents balance included $53.7 million of excess cash reserves being maintained at the FRB of Cleveland at March 31, 2023, compared to $33.1 million at December 31, 2022. The amount of excess cash reserves maintained is dependent upon Peoples' daily liquidity position, which is driven primarily by changes in deposit and loan balances.
Through the first three months of 2023, Peoples' total cash and cash equivalents increased $3.1 million as Peoples had $48.0 million of cash provided by operating activities and $45.1 million of cash provided by financing activities, substantially offset by $90.0 million of cash used in investing activities. Peoples' cash used in investing activities reflected net cash outflows from held-to-maturity investment securities of $133.8 million and cash outflows from a $52.4 million net increase in loans held for investment, partially offset by net cash inflows from available-for-sale investment securities of $100.4 million. The cash provided by financing activities was largely driven by a $106.0 million net increase in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by net cash outflows of $34.3 million, $11.0 million and $9.5 million from a net decrease in non-interest-bearing deposits, cash dividends paid, and payments on long-term borrowings, respectively. Peoples paid $82.9 million in cash for the Vantage acquisition during the first quarter of 2022.
Further information regarding the management of Peoples' liquidity position can be found later in this discussion under “Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity.”

For the first quarter of 2023, total investment securities increased compared to the prior quarter, largely due to investments made in held-to-maturity residential mortgage-backed securities and obligations of U.S. government sponsored agencies, in an effort to improve investment yields and reduce risk, partially offset by the reduction in available-for-sale securities. During the first quarter of 2023, Peoples executed the sale of $96.7 million of its lower yielding available-for-sale securities for an after-tax loss of $1.6 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay down overnight borrowings. The realized losses recognized due to these transactions are projected to be earned back within the 2023 fiscal year.

Loans that were acquired and subsequently re-underwritten are reported as originated upon execution of such credit actions (for example, renewals and increases in lines of credit).
Period-end total loan balances at March 31, 2023 increased $52.6 million, or 4% annualized, compared to at December 31, 2022. The increase in the period-end loan and lease balances was primarily driven by increases of (i) $57.5 million in other commercial real estate loans, (ii) $17.8 million in indirect consumer loans and (iii) $9.5 million in leases, partially offset by a reductions of $14.6 million in construction loans and $10.8 million in residential real estate loans. The increase of $212.6 million in the period-end loan

58
and lease balances when compared to March 31, 2022 was primarily driven by increases of $122.4 million in indirect consumer loans and $87.6 million in leases, partially offset by a reduction of $43.8 million in residential real estate loans. The increases in the period-end loan and lease balances when compared to the prior periods was due to growth. The reduction in the period-end residential real estate loans balance when compared to all comparative prior periods was due to a lower inventory of homes for sale.
Loan Concentration
Peoples categorizes its commercial loans according to standard industry classifications and monitors for concentrations in a single industry or multiple industries that could be impacted by changes in economic conditions in a similar manner. Peoples' commercial lending activities continue to be spread over a diverse range of businesses from all sectors of the economy, with no single industry comprising over 10% of Peoples' total loan portfolio.
Loans secured by commercial real estate, including commercial construction loans, continued to comprise the largest portion of Peoples' loan portfolio. The following tables provide information regarding the largest concentrations of commercial construction loans and commercial real estate loans within the loan portfolio at March 31, 2023:

Peoples' commercial lending activities continue to focus on lending opportunities within Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Maryland. In all other states, the aggregate outstanding balances of commercial loans in each state were less than 4% of total loans at both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The repayment of premium finance loans is secured by the underlying insurance policy prepaid premium, and therefore, has no geographical impact from a repayment perspective. The repayment of leases is secured by the underlying equipment collateral and not real estate, which mitigates geographic risk.

Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP")
In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act created the PPP targeted to provide small businesses with support to cover payroll and certain other specified expenses. Loans made under the PPP are fully guaranteed by the SBA. The PPP loans also afford borrowers forgiveness up to the principal amount of the PPP covered loan, plus accrued interest, if the loan proceeds are used to retain workers and maintain payroll and/or to make certain mortgage interest, lease and utility payments, and certain other criteria are satisfied. The SBA will reimburse PPP lenders for any amount of a PPP covered loan that is forgiven, and PPP lenders will not be held liable for any representations made by PPP borrowers in connection with their requests for loan forgiveness.
Peoples is a PPP participating lender, and the PPP loans originated are included in commercial and industrial loans. Peoples also recorded deferred loan origination fees related to the PPP loans, net of deferred loan origination costs, which will be amortized over the life of the respective loans, or until forgiven by the SBA, and will be recognized in net interest income. The following table details Peoples' PPP loan balances and related income:

Allowance for Credit Losses
The amount of the allowance for credit losses at the end of each period represents management's estimate of expected losses from existing loans based upon its quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio. While this process involves allocations being made to specific loans and pools of loans, the entire allowance is available for all losses expected within the loan portfolio.

The reduction in the allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2023 compared to March 31, 2022 was driven by decreases in the allowances for individually analyzed loans, offset by loan growth and deterioration in the economic forecast.
Additional information regarding Peoples' allowance for credit losses can be found in "Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K and "Note 4 Loans and Leases" of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net charge-offs during the first quarter of 2023 were 0.13% of average total loans on an annualized basis. The decrease for the current quarter when compared to the linked quarter was driven by a decrease in charge-offs on leases, residential real estate loans and deposit account overdrafts, partially offset by an increase in charge-offs on indirect consumer loans. The decrease in net charge-offs during the current quarter versus the prior year quarter was primarily attributable to decreases in net charge-offs in (i) commercial and

62
industrial loans, (ii) residential real estate loans, and (iii) other commercial real estate loans, partially offset by an increase in net charge-offs in indirect consumer loans.

Compared to December 31, 2022, Peoples' NPAs decreased from 0.63% to 0.58% of total assets. Loans 90+ days past due and accruing decreased compared to at December 31, 2022, mostly due to declines in residential real estate loans and leases that were 90+ days past due, partially offset by an increase in premium finance loans that that were 90+ days past due. During the first quarter of 2023, criticized loans increased $7.5 million, while classified loans increased $3.6 million when compared to at December 31, 2022. The increase in the amount of criticized loans compared to at December 31, 2022 was primarily related to downgrades of three commercial and industrial relationships. The increase in classified loans compared to the linked quarter was driven by the downgrade of one commercial and industrial relationship.

(a)The sum of amounts presented is considered total demand deposits.
At March 31, 2023, period-end deposits increased $71.6 million, or 1%, compared to at December 31, 2022. The increase when compared to at December 31, 2022 was primarily driven by an increase of $147.6 million in brokered certificates of deposits, which are primarily used as a source of funding. Excluding the increase in brokered certificates of deposits, total deposits at March 31, 2023 decreased $76.0 million, or 1%, when compared to at December 31, 2022 due to reductions of (i) $75.0 million in interest-bearing deposit accounts, (ii) $43.9 million in savings accounts, (iii) $37.9 million in money market deposit accounts, and (iv) $34.3 million in non-interest bearing deposit accounts, partially offset by an increase of $91.9 million in retail certificates of deposit.
Period-end deposit balances decreased $214.4 million, or 4%, compared to at March 31, 2022. Deposits decreased primarily due to reductions in non-interest-bearing deposits, interest-bearing deposit accounts, governmental deposit accounts, and money market deposit accounts of $111.6 million, $94.0 million, $85.5 million and $77.2 million, respectively, partially offset by an increase of $185.8 million in brokered certificates of deposits.
As part of its funding strategy, Peoples hedges 90-day brokered CDs with interest rate swaps. The swaps pay a fixed rate of interest while receiving three-month LIBOR, which offsets the rate on the brokered CDs. As of March 31, 2023, Peoples had thirteen effective interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional value of $125.0 million, which were designated as cash flow hedges of overnight brokered CDs and are expected to be extended every 90 days through the maturity dates of the swaps. Peoples continually evaluates the overall balance sheet position given the interest rate environment.

Borrowed funds, in total, which include overnight borrowings, are mainly a function of loan growth and changes in total deposit balances. Total borrowed funds decreased compared to at December 31, 2022, due to lower overnight borrowings. Total short-term borrowings at March 31, 2023 increased when compared to at March 31, 2022 due to outstanding FHLB overnight borrowings of $390.0 million at March 31, 2023, while there were no FHLB overnight borrowings at March 31, 2022.
Capital/Stockholders’ Equity
At March 31, 2023, capital levels for both Peoples and Peoples Bank remained substantially higher than the minimum amounts needed to be considered "well capitalized" institutions under applicable banking regulations. These higher capital levels reflect Peoples' desire to maintain a strong capital position. In order to avoid limitations on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation, Peoples must exceed the three minimum required ratios by at least the capital conservation buffer of 2.50%, which applies to the common equity tier 1 ("CET1") ratio, the tier 1 capital ratio and the total risk-based capital ratio. At March 31, 2023, Peoples had a capital conservation buffer of 5.35%.

Peoples' regulatory capital and related ratio levels improved during the first quarter of 2023 when compared to at December 31, 2022 and at March 31, 2022 due to net income during the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by dividends paid. The ratios were negatively impacted at March 31, 2022 by the cash acquisition of Vantage, in connection with which Peoples recorded goodwill and intangible assets. The impact of the Vantage acquisition on Peoples' regularity capital and related ratios levels at March 31, 2022, was partially offset by net income exceeding dividends declared during the period ended March 31, 2022.
In addition to traditional capital measurements, management uses tangible capital measures to evaluate the adequacy of Peoples' stockholders' equity. Such ratios represent Non-US GAAP financial measures since their calculation removes the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on amounts reported in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management believes this information is useful to investors since it facilitates the comparison of Peoples' operating performance, financial condition and trends to peers, especially those without a similar level of intangible assets to that of Peoples. Further,

65
intangible assets generally are difficult to convert into cash, especially during a financial crisis, and could decrease substantially in value should there be deterioration in the overall franchise value. As a result, tangible equity represents a conservative measure of the capacity for Peoples to incur losses but remain solvent.
The following table reconciles the calculation of these Non-US GAAP financial measures to amounts reported in Peoples' Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

Tangible book value per common share increased to $17.37 at March 31, 2023, compared to $16.23 at December 31, 2022. The change in tangible book value per common share was due to tangible equity increasing during the first quarter of 2023 as a result of a decrease in other comprehensive losses recognized on available-for-sale investment securities, which the decrease was driven by sales during the quarter. Tangible book value per common share increased compared to at March 31, 2022 primarily due to net income over the last twelve months, partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity
While Peoples is exposed to various business risks, the risks relating to interest rate sensitivity and liquidity are major risks that can materially impact future results of operations and financial condition due to their complexity and dynamic nature. The objective of Peoples' asset-liability management function is to measure and manage these risks in order to optimize net interest income within the constraints of prudent capital adequacy, liquidity and safety. This objective requires Peoples to focus on interest rate risk exposure and adequate liquidity through its management of the mix of assets and liabilities, their related cash flows and the rates earned and paid on those assets and liabilities. Ultimately, the asset-liability management function is intended to guide management in the acquisition and disposition of earning assets and selection of appropriate funding sources.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk ("IRR") is one of the most significant risks arising in the normal course of business of financial services companies like Peoples. IRR is the potential for economic loss due to future interest rate changes that can impact the earnings stream, as well as market values, of financial assets and liabilities. Peoples' exposure to IRR is due primarily to differences in the maturity or repricing of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, other factors, such as prepayments of loans and investment securities, or early withdrawal of deposits, can affect Peoples' exposure to IRR and increase interest costs or reduce revenue streams.
Peoples has assigned overall management of IRR to its Asset-Liability Committee (the “ALCO”), which has established an IRR management policy that sets minimum requirements and guidelines for monitoring and managing the level of IRR. The methods used by the ALCO to assess IRR remain largely unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K.

(300)(38,575)(13.1)%(43,728)(14.8)%(105,742)(7.1)%(152,152)(9.8)%
This table uses a standard, parallel shock analysis for assessing the IRR to net interest income and the economic value of equity. A parallel shock assumes all points on the yield curve (one year, two year, three year, etc.) are directionally changed by the same degree. Management regularly assesses the impact of both increasing and decreasing interest rates. The table above shows the impact of upward and downward parallel shocks of 100, 200 and 300 basis points.
Estimated changes in net interest income and the economic value of equity are partially driven by assumptions regarding the rate at which non-maturity deposits will reprice given a move in short-term interest rates, as well as assumptions regarding prepayment speeds on mortgage-backed securities. These and other modeling assumptions are monitored closely by Peoples on an ongoing basis.
While parallel interest rate shock scenarios are useful in assessing the level of IRR inherent in the balance sheet, interest rates typically move in a nonparallel manner with differences in the timing, direction and magnitude of changes in short-term and long-term interest rates. Thus, any impact that might occur as a result of the Federal Reserve Board increasing short-term interest rates in the future could be offset by an inverse movement in long-term interest rates, and vice versa. For this reason, Peoples considers other interest rate scenarios in addition to analyzing the impact of parallel yield curve shifts. These include various flattening and steepening scenarios in which short-term and long-term interest rates move in different directions with varying magnitude. Peoples believes these scenarios to be more reflective of how interest rates change versus the severe parallel rate shocks described above. Given the shape of market yield curves at March 31, 2023, consideration of the bear steepener and bear flattener scenarios provide insights which were not captured by parallel shifts.
The bear steepener scenario highlights the risk to net interest income and economic value of equity when short-term interest rates remain constant while long-term interest rates rise. In such a scenario, Peoples' deposit and borrowing costs, which are generally correlated with short-term interest rates, remain constant, while asset yields, which are correlated with long-term interest rates, rise. At March 31, 2023, the bear steepener scenario produced an increase in net interest income of 0.1% and a decline in the economic value of equity of 1.4%.
The bear flattener scenario highlights the risk to net interest income and the economic value of equity when short-term rates rise while long-term rates remain constant. In such a scenario, Peoples' variable rate asset yields along with deposit and short-term borrowing costs, which are correlated with short-term rates, increase, while long-term asset yields and long-term borrowing costs, which are more correlated with long-term rates, remain constant. Increased deposit and funding costs would be more than offset by increased variable rate asset yields; resulting in an increased amount of net interest income and a higher net interest margin. At March 31, 2023, the bear flattener scenario produced no change to net interest income and a decline in the economic value of equity of 0.8%.
As of March 31, 2023, the yield curve was inverted. A notable non-parallel shift scenario would be a continued increase in short-term interest rates relative to long-term interest rates in which the yield curve would further invert. As of March 31, 2023, this inversion scenario would have resulted in no change to net interest income and a decrease in the economic value of equity of (0.8)%. Peoples was within its policy limitations for this alternative scenario as of March 31, 2023, which set the maximum allowable downside exposure as 5.0% of net interest income and 10.0% of the economic value of equity.
Peoples has entered into interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Peoples making fixed payments. As of March 31, 2023, Peoples had entered into thirteen interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $125.0 million. Additional information regarding Peoples’ interest rate swaps can be found in “Note 10 Derivative Financial Instruments” of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
At March 31, 2023, Peoples' Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet was positioned to benefit from rising interest rates in terms of the potential impact on net interest income. The table above illustrates this point as changes to net interest income

increase in the rising interest rate scenarios. While the heavy concentration of floating rate loans remains the largest contributor to the level of asset sensitivity, the decrease in economic value of equity asset sensitivity, as measured, from December 31, 2022 was largely attributable to increased effective duration within the investment securities portfolio.
Liquidity
In addition to IRR management, another major objective of the ALCO is to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity. The methods used by the ALCO to monitor and evaluate the adequacy of Peoples Bank's liquidity position remain unchanged from those disclosed in Peoples' 2022 Form 10-K.
At March 31, 2023, Peoples Bank had liquid assets of $318.0 million, which represented 3.9% of total assets and unfunded loan commitments. Peoples also had an additional $231.4 million of unpledged investment securities not included in the measurement of liquid assets.
Management believes the current mix of short-term liquidity sources, loan and security portfolio cash flows, and availability of other funding sources will allow Peoples to meet anticipated cash obligations, as well as special needs and off-balance sheet commitments.
Off-Balance Sheet Activities and Contractual Obligations
In the normal course of business, Peoples is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk necessary to meet the financing needs of Peoples' customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement Peoples has in these financial instruments.
Loan Commitments and Standby Letters of Credit
Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of Peoples' customers. Standby letters of credit are instruments issued by Peoples Bank guaranteeing the beneficiary payment by Peoples Bank in the event of default by Peoples Bank's customer in the performance of an obligation or service. Historically, most loan commitments and standby letters of credit expire unused. Peoples Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counter-party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Peoples Bank uses the same underwriting standards in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.
Peoples Bank routinely engages in activities that involve, to varying degrees, elements of risk that are not reflected in whole or in part in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These activities are part of Peoples Bank's normal course of business and include traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments, interest rate contracts and commitments to make additional capital contributions in low-income housing tax credit investments. Traditional off-balance sheet credit-related financial instruments continue to represent the most significant off-balance sheet exposure.
The following table details the total contractual amount of loan commitments and standby letters of credit:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The information called for by this Item 3 is provided under the caption “Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity” under “ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS” in this Form 10-Q, and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Peoples' management, with the participation of Peoples' President and Chief Executive Officer and Peoples’ Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Peoples’ disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2023.  Based upon that evaluation, Peoples’ President and Chief Executive Officer and Peoples’ Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have concluded that:
(a)information required to be disclosed by Peoples in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports Peoples files or submits under the Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated to Peoples’ management, including its President and Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;
(b)information required to be disclosed by Peoples in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports Peoples files or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and
(c)Peoples’ disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in Peoples' internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during Peoples' fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Peoples’ internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Peoples or one of its subsidiaries from time to time is engaged in various litigation matters including the defense of claims of improper loan or deposit practices or lending violations. In addition, in the ordinary course of their respective businesses or operations, Peoples or one of its subsidiaries may be named as a plaintiff, a defendant, or a party to a legal proceeding or any of their respective properties may be subject to various pending and threatened legal proceedings and various actual and potential claims. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, Peoples cannot state what the eventual outcome of any such matters will be; however, based on management's current knowledge and after consultation with legal counsel, Peoples' management believes that damages, if any, and other amounts related to pending legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of Peoples.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The disclosure below supplements the risk factors previously disclosed under “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of Part I of Peoples’ 2022 Form 10-K. These risk factors are not the only risks Peoples faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to management or that management currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect Peoples’ business, financial condition and/or operating results. In the first quarter of 2023, we identified the following additional risk factor:
General Risks
•The impact of larger or similar-sized financial institutions encountering problems may adversely affect Peoples' business, earnings and financial condition.
Peoples is exposed to the risk that when a peer financial institution experiences financial difficulties, there could be an adverse impact on the regional banking industry and the business environment in which Peoples operates. The recent bank failures of Silicon Valley Bank in California, Signature Bank in New York, and First Republic Bank in California during the first and second quarters of 2023 have caused a degree of panic and uncertainty in the investor community and among bank customers generally. While Peoples does not believe that the circumstances of these three banks' failures are indicators of broader issues with the banking system, the failures may reduce customer confidence, affect sources of funding and liquidity, increase regulatory requirements and costs, adversely affect financial markets and/or have a negative reputational ramification for the banking industry, including Peoples. Peoples will continue to monitor the ongoing events concerning these three banks as well as any future potential bank failures and volatility within the banking industry generally, together with any responsive measures taken by the banking regulators to mitigate or manage potential turmoil in the banking industry.
