_____________________________________________________________________

Summary fourth quarter and full year 2014 results:
Diluted earnings per common share were $0.28 for the quarter and $1.35 for the year.
Diluted earnings per common share were reduced by $0.10 for the quarter and $0.38 for the year due to:

Pension settlement charges of $17,000 for the quarter, and $1.4 million for the year.
Other one-time expenses incurred by Peoples of $398,000 during the quarter, and $598,000 for the year.
The 1,847,826 common shares sold to fund, in part, the cash consideration for the NB&T acquisition adversely impacted diluted earnings per share by $0.05 for the quarter and $0.08 for the year.
Total revenue increased 22% for the quarter and 18% for the year compared to the prior year periods.
Net interest income and net interest margin were the main drivers of the growth.

Insurance revenues increased 11%, or $1.4 million, for the year compared to the prior year.

Operating expenses were higher than in prior periods but in line with Peoples' expectations.

Salaries in 2014 increased due to a 28% increase in full-time equivalent employees since December 31, 2013.
Employee benefit costs for 2014 increased due largely to additional pension settlement charges and medical plan expenses.
Period-end total loan balances reflected 12% organic growth for the year.
Commercial lending generated 12% organic growth for the year.
Organic consumer loan balances grew 11% for the year, primarily due to non-mortgage balances.
Organic growth during 2014 was supplemented by the Midwest, Ohio Heritage and North Akron acquisitions.
Average loan balances for the quarter were up 38% compared to fourth quarter 2013, and 30% for the full year.
Asset quality trends remained favorable in 2014; recoveries exceeded charge-offs in the quarter and for the year.

Allowance for loan losses was 1.48% of originated loans at December 31, 2014, versus 1.57% at year-end 2013.
Retail deposit balances grew during the quarter and year, largely the result of acquisitions.
Growth during the quarter was the result of the North Akron acquisition.
Quarterly organic retail balances were impacted by seasonal declines in governmental deposits.

Non-interest-bearing deposits continued to comprise over 25% of Peoples' total deposits.

MARIETTA, Ohio - Peoples Bancorp Inc. ("Peoples") (NASDAQ: PEBO) today announced results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014. Net income totaled $4.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, representing earnings per diluted common share of $0.28. In comparison, earnings per diluted common share were $0.32 and $0.47 for the third quarter of 2014 and fourth quarter of 2013, respectively. For the year, net income was $16.7 million in 2014 versus $17.6 million in 2013, representing earnings per diluted common share of $1.35 and $1.63, respectively.
"This past year has been a busy one for our team, as we have made great strides in growing the company and building long-term shareholder value. The most notable accomplishments were completing three acquisitions, in consecutive quarters, with our fourth to be completed in the first quarter of 2015. We are pleased with our fourth quarter and full year 2014 results," said Chuck Sulerzyski, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continued to report net interest margin expansion, which was largely the result of loan growth and the acquisitions we have completed to date. Other key accomplishments during 2014 included stronger than expected loan growth, improved revenue generation within most of our fee-based businesses, and top quartile credit quality metrics compared to our peer group."
Sulerzyski continued, "On the expense front, we continued to build the infrastructure to support the initiatives within the company, most recently growth through acquisitions. As we enter new markets, we seek to attract sales talent to better serve the markets, as well as allow us to offer our wide array of products and services. Even with the investments made during the year, we were able to grow revenue slightly more than expenses, excluding the one-time expenses. When there is a pause in the acquisitions, and the noise is out of the numbers, one will be able to see more clearly the positive impact the initiatives have had on the company. We are pleased with the acquisitions completed to date, eager to close the NB&T acquisition, and excited about the opportunities that lie ahead."
During the fourth quarter, Peoples completed its merger with North Akron Savings Bank ("North Akron") as of the close of business on October 24, 2014. This transaction resulted in Peoples acquiring four full-service banking offices in northeast Ohio, adding $111.5 million of loans and $108.1 million of deposits after purchase accounting adjustments. In the second and third quarters of 2014, Peoples completed the acquisition of Midwest Bancshares, Inc. ("Midwest") and Ohio Heritage Bancorp, Inc. ("Ohio Heritage"), respectively. In connection with the acquisition activity during the year, Peoples incurred one-time pre-tax expenses totaling $5.1 million, $1.9 million of which were recognized during the fourth quarter of 2014.
As previously announced, on August 4, 2014, Peoples entered into a merger agreement with NB&T Financial Group, Inc. (“NB&T”) that calls for NB&T to merge into Peoples and for NB&T's wholly-owned subsidiary, The National Bank and Trust Company, which operates 22 full-service branches in southwest Ohio, to merge into Peoples Bank. This transaction is expected to close and convert on March 6, 2015, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the approval of the shareholders of Peoples and of NB&T. As of September 30, 2014, NB&T had approximately $650 million in total assets, which included approximately $397 million in net loans, and approximately $558 million in total deposits. NB&T also had approximately $260 million in trust assets under management. In conjunction with the announcement of execution of the NB&T merger agreement, Peoples announced the completion of a capital raise through the sale of 1,847,826 common shares to institutional investors through a private placement on August 7, 2014. Peoples received net proceeds of $40.2 million from the sale, and intends to use the proceeds, in part, to fund the cash consideration for the NB&T acquisition.
Fourth quarter 2014 net interest income was $20.1 million, up 12% compared to the linked quarter and 29% higher than the prior year's fourth quarter, while net interest margin for these periods was 3.53%, 3.49% and 3.43%, respectively. These improvements were driven largely by growth in earning assets due to higher loan balances, the change in the asset mix, a reduction in funding costs and accretion income from the acquisitions completed to date. Average net loans as a percentage of average earning assets was 68% for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 66% for the linked quarter and 62% for the fourth quarter of 2013. The accretion income, net of amortization expense, from the acquisitions completed since 2011 have added $1.2 million, or 20 basis points of net interest margin, in the fourth quarter of 2014, and $2.6 million, or 12 basis points, year-to-date.
"Net interest income and net interest margin both continued to benefit from loan growth, acquisitions and asset mix changes, and were in line with our expectations," said Edward Sloane, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. "The continued improvement we have made in our balance sheet mix, by reducing the relative size of the investment portfolio,

2



has contributed to the expansion in margin. Our investments accounted for 28% of our total assets as of December 31, 2014, compared to 33% as of December 31, 2013. The loan growth and acquisitions completed to date have allowed us the opportunity to make progress on the asset mix changes."
Total non-interest income was up 9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 and 8% for the full year. The growth for the quarter was largely attributable to electronic banking income and trust and investment income, which were up 11% and 7%, respectively. For the year, insurance income grew 11%, or $1.4 million, trust and investment income grew 8%, or $0.6 million, and electronic banking income grew 7%, or $0.5 million. Insurance income growth was the result of additional contingency income received in 2014 due to the improved quality of the book of business and the increased production with the insurance carriers. Trust and investment income increased as a result of growth in managed assets. The growth in electronic banking income was primarily due to an increase in the volume of debit card transactions and ATM surcharges. Total non-interest income was 34% of total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 35% during the linked quarter and 37% for the fourth quarter 2013. For the year, total non-interest income was 37% of total revenue for 2014, compared to 40% for 2013.
"One of our long-term strategic goals continues to be to maintain a diversified revenue stream with 35-40% fee-based income," said Sulerzyski. "The recent change in the revenue stream has been the result of the bank acquisitions completed during 2014, with no fee-based acquisitions. We continue to also seek opportunities to acquire both insurance and wealth management businesses."
Fourth quarter 2014 non-interest expenses totaled $24.0 million, 30% higher than the prior year fourth quarter, and for the full year were $85.0 million, or 25% higher than the prior year. The fourth quarter 2014 amount included $1.9 million of acquisition-related costs, consisting primarily of deconversion costs, severance, and professional and legal fees, compared to $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. For 2014, non-interest expenses included $4.8 million of acquisition-related costs, compared to $1.4 million in 2013. Salaries and employee benefit costs grew 36% over the fourth quarter of 2013 and 28% on a year-to-date basis as base salaries and wages increased due to the higher number of employees. The number of full-time equivalent employees was 699 at December 31, 2014, and 546 at December 31, 2013, due largely to acquisitions completed during 2014. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2014, the Board of Directors granted a one-time stock award of unrestricted common shares to all full-time and some part-time employees who did not already participate in the equity plan, which resulted in an expense of $298,000. The increase in professional fees and other expenses was largely the result of acquisition-related costs. Peoples periodically makes donations to Peoples Bancorp Foundation Inc. For both the third and fourth quarters of 2014, non-interest expenses included $100,000 of such contributions, compared to $50,000 for the fourth quarter of 2013. For the full year, donations totaling $300,000 were made in 2014 compared to $200,000 in 2013. The efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2014 was 76.55%, compared to 71.80% for the fourth quarter of 2013, and was 75.37% for 2014 compared to 71.90% for 2013. The increase in the ratio for the quarter and year was the result of the increase in non-interest expenses, which increased primarily because of the one-time expenses previously mentioned.
Period-end organic loan balances grew at an annualized rate of 5% for the quarter and 12% for the year. During the quarter, commercial loan balances grew $25.9 million, or 15% annualized, with over 80% of the growth being in commercial and industrial loan balances. The growth in commercial loan balances during the quarter was largely off-set by a reduction in consumer loans, mainly mortgage loan balances. Non-mortgage consumer loan balances grew 11% annualized during the quarter. The combination of organic growth and balances acquired from Midwest, Ohio Heritage and North Akron resulted in an increase of $318.4 million, or 30%, in average loan balances for the year compared to the prior year.
"Loan production exceeded our expectations for the year, as we had budgeted between 8% and 10% organic growth, and ended 2014 with 12% organic growth. Non-mortgage consumer and commercial made the largest contributions during the year, with 11% and 15% growth, respectively,” said Sulerzyski.
During the quarter, Peoples received a sizable commercial real estate loan recovery that more than off-set the charge-offs incurred in the other loan categories, resulting in net recoveries of $197,000. Total nonperforming assets increased by $2.0 million during the quarter mainly because of one commercial and industrial loan relationship that was moved to non-accrual status. As a percentage of total loans plus other real estate owned ("OREO"), total nonperforming assets were 0.75% at year-end versus 0.66% at September 30, 2014 and 0.67% at year-end 2013. Nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans was 0.69% at quarter-end versus 0.59% at September 30, 2014 and 0.60% at year-end 2013. At quarter-end, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to originated loans, net of deferred fees and costs, was 1.48%, compared to 1.47% at September 30, 2014 and 1.57% at December 31, 2013. The ratio does not include acquired loan balances.
Peoples' retail deposits grew $71.4 million, or 4%, during the quarter, as the North Akron acquisition added $99.6 million of deposits as of December 31, 2014. The organic decline of $28.2 million, or 2%, was largely a result of seasonal declines in governmental deposits. Compared to December 31, 2013, organic retail deposits grew 2% due mainly to the $77.8 million growth in non-interest-bearing deposits. Organic growth and acquired balances resulted in an increase of

3



$187.1 million, or 11%, in average retail deposits for the quarter compared to the linked quarter, and $245.4 million, or 17%, for the year compared to the prior year.
"Overall, 2014 was a solid year for the company as we executed on our strategy and had success along several fronts, including double digit organic loan growth, expansion of net interest income and net interest margin, fee-based revenue growth, and the hiring and retention of talent that will allow us to continue to execute on our strategy," summarized Sulerzyski. "In 2015, we plan to build upon the momentum we generated in 2014. Key priorities will include continued loan growth, growth through acquisitions, growing fee-based revenue, and generating positive operating leverage. We remain confident in our ability to continue to grow and generate long-term value for our customers and shareholders."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains financial information and performance measures determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Management uses these "non-GAAP" measures in its analysis of Peoples' performance and the efficiency of its operations. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods and peers. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Below is a listing of the non-GAAP measures used in this news release:
Tangible assets and tangible equity measures are non-GAAP since they exclude the impact of intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on both total stockholders' equity and total assets and the related amortization from earnings.
Pre-provision net revenue is defined as net interest income plus non-interest income minus non-interest expense. This measure is non-GAAP since it excludes (recovery of) provision for loan losses and all gains and/or losses included in earnings.
A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this news release under the caption of "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".
