RESULTS OF OPERATIONS²

Old National Bancorp ("Old National") reported fourth quarter 2024 net income applicable to common shares of $149.8 million, or $0.47 per diluted common share.

Included in fourth quarter results were pre-tax charges of $8.1 million primarily related to the April 1, 2024 partnership with CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. ("CapStar") and the recently announced partnership with Bremer. Excluding these transactions and realized debt securities losses from the current quarter, adjusted net income¹ was $156.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted common share.

DEPOSITS AND FUNDING

Growth in core deposits driven by increases in private banking and community deposits, partly offset by normal seasonal patterns in public funds.

On average, total deposits for the fourth quarter were $41.1 billion, up 5.3% annualized.
Granular low-cost deposit franchise; total deposit costs of 208 bps, down 17 bps.
A loan to deposit ratio of 89%, combined with existing funding sources, provides strong liquidity.

LOANS

Strong commercial loan production offset by approximately $600 million of outsized payoff activity and lower line utilization.

Period-end total loans³ were $36.3 billion, down 1.6% annualized.
Total commercial loan production in the fourth quarter was $1.5 billion; period-end commercial pipeline totaled $2.7 billion.
Average total loans in the fourth quarter were $36.4 billion, an increase of $111.1 million, or 1.2% annualized.

Net charge-offs were $18.7 million, or 21 bps of average loans compared to 19 bps.
- Excluding PCD loans that had an allowance for credit losses established at acquisition, net charge-offs to average loans were 17 bps compared to 16 bps.
30+ day delinquencies as a percentage of loans were 0.27% compared to 0.26%.
Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans were 1.23% compared to 1.22%.

The allowance for credit losses, including the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments, stood at $414.2 million, or 1.14% of total loans, compared to $405.9 million, or 1.12% of total loans.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN

Higher net interest income and modestly lower margin reflective of higher accretion and the rate environment.

Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis¹ increased to $400.0 million compared to $397.9 million, driven by higher accretion and lower funding costs, partly offset by earning asset mix.
Net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis¹modestly decreased 2 bps to 3.30%.
Accretion income on loans and borrowings was $18.5 million, or 15 bps of net interest margin¹, compared to $15.6 million, or 13 bps of net interest margin¹.
Cost of total deposits was 2.08%, decreasing 17 bps and the cost of total interest-bearing deposits decreased 22 bps to 2.71%.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Increase driven by higher wealth fees and other income, partly offset by lower capital markets and mortgage fees.

Total noninterest income was $95.8 million compared to $94.1 million.
Noninterest income was up 1.7% driven by higher wealth fees and other income impacted by $8 million of discrete items, partly offset by lower capital markets and mortgage fees.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Disciplined expense management.

Noninterest expense was $276.8 million and included $8.1 million of merger-related charges.
- Excluding merger-related charges and $2.6 million of pre-tax separation expense⁵ in the third quarter of 2024, adjusted noninterest expense¹ was $268.7 million, compared to $262.8 million; increase driven by $5 million in higher performance-driven incentive accruals and $1.2 million in higher tax credit amortization.
The efficiency ratio¹ was 54.4%, while the adjusted efficiency ratio¹ was 51.8% compared to 53.8% and 51.2%, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

- Lower effective tax rate driven by $5.9 million for the resolution of tax matters and $1.2 million in higher tax credit benefits.

CAPITAL

Capital ratios remain strong.

Preliminary total risk-based capital up 43 bps to 13.37% and preliminary regulatory Tier 1 capital up 38 bps to 11.98%, as strong retained earnings drive capital.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company's accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and general practices within the banking industry. As a supplement to GAAP, the Company provides non-GAAP performance results, which the Company believes are useful because they assist investors in assessing the Company's operating performance. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the tables at the end of this release.

The Company presents EPS, the efficiency ratio, return on average common equity, return on average tangible common equity, and net income applicable to common shares, all adjusted for certain notable items. These items include merger-related charges associated with completed and pending acquisitions, separation expense, debt securities gains/losses, CECL Day 1 non-PCD provision expense, distribution of excess pension assets expense, FDIC special assessment expense, gain on sale of Visa Class B restricted shares, contract termination charges, expenses related to the tragic April 10, 2023 event at our downtown Louisville location ("Louisville expenses"), and property optimization charges. Management believes excluding these items from EPS, the efficiency ratio, return on average common equity, and return on average tangible common equity may be useful in assessing the Company's underlying operational performance since these items do not pertain to its core business operations and their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods. Management believes that excluding merger-related charges from these metrics may be useful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, since these expenses can vary significantly based on the size, type, and structure of each acquisition. Additionally, management believes excluding these items from these metrics may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.

Income tax expense, provision for credit losses, and the certain notable items listed above are excluded from the calculation of pre-provision net revenues, adjusted due to the fluctuation in income before income tax and the level of provision for credit losses required. Management believes adjusted pre-provision net revenues may be useful in assessing the Company's underlying operating performance and their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods and for peer comparison purposes.

The Company presents adjusted noninterest expense, which excludes merger-related charges associated with completed and pending acquisitions, separation expense, distribution of excess pension assets expense, FDIC special assessment expense, contract termination charges, Louisville expenses, and property optimization charges, as well as adjusted noninterest income, which excludes debt securities gains/losses and the gain on sale of Visa Class B restricted shares. Management believes that excluding these items from noninterest expense and noninterest income may be useful in assessing the Company's underlying operational performance as these items either do not pertain to its core business operations or their exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods and for peer comparison purposes.

The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income and net interest margin recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets. Interest income and yields on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented using the current federal income tax rate of 21%. Management believes that it is standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis and that it may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.

In management's view, tangible common equity measures are capital adequacy metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Company's use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non-GAAP measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution's capital strength since they eliminate intangible assets from stockholders' equity and retain the effect of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity.

Although intended to enhance investors' understanding of the Company's business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other financial institutions to assess their business and performance. See the following reconciliations in the "Non-GAAP Reconciliations" section for details on the calculation of these measures to the extent presented herein.
