2017 HIGHLIGHTS Successfully completed the largest acquisition in UBSI history (Cardinal Financial Corporation), increasing deposit market share in the attractive Washington D.C. MSA to #7 Increased dividends to shareholders for the 44th consecutive year, with a current dividend yield of 3.8% (based upon recent prices) Reported record pre tax earnings of $285 million (including merger-related expenses of $26.8 million) Continued to demonstrate strong expense control with a reported efficiency ratio of 54.0% (inclusive of merger-related expenses) Profitability, asset quality, and capital remain sound

EARNINGS SUMMARY Linked Quarter (LQ) Income Before Income Taxes was relatively flat at $84.9 million in 4Q17 compared to $84.6 million in 3Q17. Diluted EPS were $0.17 in 4Q17 compared to $0.54 in 3Q17. Diluted EPS in 4Q17 were impacted by additional income tax expense of $37.7 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, related to the estimated impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Act). Net Interest Income increased $4.6 million from a combination of higher accretion income (up $4.0 million) and higher market interest rates. Average earning assets were relatively flat linked quarter. Non Interest Income decreased $5.5 million due primarily to the seasonal slowdown in mortgage banking revenues. Non Interest Expense was down $874 thousand linked quarter due to reductions in employee compensation (down $3.3 million) due mainly to a decrease in mortgage banking commissions, partially offset by higher merger-related expenses (up $1.2 million) and higher business franchise taxes (up $990 thousand).

PERFORMANCE RATIOS Strong and consistent profitability and expense control. FY 2017 was impacted by $26.8 million in pre tax merger-related expenses and $37.7 million in additional tax expense related to the Tax Act. *Non GAAP measure. Refer to appendix.
