You should not rely on any forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. You should not expect us to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law. All written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice, together with those risks and uncertainties described in “Risk factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed on March 7, 2024 (the Form 10-K ), our quarterly report on Form 10-Q (including our quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed on August 2, 2024), and in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are a s wva eil bab sitele a wwt wt.h seec S .gov EC .’ Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company supplements its financial results that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) w-ith GA An P on financial measures, such as tangible common equity ( TCE ), tangible assets (“TA”) and C -Prov oreision Pre Net Revenue (“Core PPNR ). This supplementmalat ioinnfor is not required by or is not presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company refers to these financial measures and ratios a -Gs AA“P nonfinancial measures” and they should not be considered in as isol a at suio bn stit or ute for the GAAP measures presented herein. We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including those mentioned above, both to explain our results to shareholders and the investment community and in the internal evaluation and management of our businesses. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures and the information they provide are useful to investors since these measures permit investors to view our performance using the same tools that our management uses to evaluate our past performance and prospects for future performance. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our performance, this information should be considered as supplemental and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies. Page 20 in the appendix reconciles these non-GAAP financial measures to reported GAAP results. Amerant does not provide a reconciliation of certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures and projections to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because Amerant is unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of amounts that would be necessary for the reconciliation due to the complexity and inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying future amounts or when they may occur. Such unavailable information could be significant to future results. 2
Important Notices and Disclaimers (continued) Preliminary Financial Information This presentation includes certain preliminary unaudited financial information and expectations relating to the third quarter of 2024. Our third quarter of 2024 has not yet concluded and such results are preliminary estimates based upon currently available information. In the opinion of management, such unaudited financial information includes all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations for such periods, but may not include normal quarter-end adjustments. These results are also subject to further revision based upon final actual results for the entire quarter ending September 30, 2024, our review and the review of our independent auditors of such quarterly results and an audit by our independent auditors of our annual results for the year ended December 31, 2024. Therefore, no assurance can be given that, upon completion of our review and the review of our independent auditors, we will not report materially different financial results than those set forth below. We cannot assure you that such results will be indicative of our results for the entire quarter ending September 30, 2024 or for the entire year ending December 31, 2024. Further, although this presentation describes the current estimated impact of our potential use of a portion of the proceeds from this offering (including in connection with our future balance sheet optimization efforts, potential securities portfolio repositioning, and other actions described herein) any such actions will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions and business developments. We are not required to apply any portion of the net proceeds of this offering for any particular purpose, and our management will have broad discretion in allocating the net proceeds of the offering. Accordingly, our management may not apply the net proceeds of this offering toward the repositioning of our securities portfolio, and our future financial condition may differ significantly from the prospective estimates presented in this presentation. We do not intend to update or otherwise revise these expected events and estimates to reflect future events or changes in estimates and do not intend to disclose publicly whether our actual results will vary from our estimates other than through the release of actual results in the ordinary course of business. No independent public accounting firm has compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the anticipated financial information contained above, nor have they expressed any opinion or other form of assurance on such information or its achievability. These estimates should not be regarded as a representation by us, our management or the underwriters as to our actual results for the third quarter. The assumptions and estimates underlying the estimated financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties, including those described under “Risk Fa autc ion tors ary N ” aote nd “ RC egarding Forward-Looking Statements” in our SEC filings. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these estimates. In addition, the repositioning of our balance sheet as described in this presentation is subject to and contingent upon the completion of this offering during the third quarter of 2024 on terms that are satisfactory to us. Although we may consider proceeding with the rebalancing in the event that this offering does not close on acceptable terms during the third quarter of 2024, we have not yet determined to do so. The repositioning will only occur, if at all, following our receipt of adequate capital.
