The words “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” and “estimate,” and similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but other statements not based on historical information may also be considered forward-looking, including statements about the benefits to SmartFinancial of its previously announced merger with Entegra Financial Corp. (“Entegra”), SmartFinancial’s future financial and operating results, and SmartFinancial’s plans, objectives, and intentions. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of SmartFinancial to differ materially from any results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, among others, (1) the risk that the cost savings and any revenue synergies from the proposed merger with Entegra may not be realized or take longer than anticipated to be realized, (2) the risk that the cost savings and any revenue synergies from recently completed mergers may not be realized or may take longer than anticipated to realize, (3) disruption from the proposed merger with Entegra, or recently completed mergers, with customer, supplier, or employee relationships, (4) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the agreement and plan of merger among SmartFinancial, CT Merger Sub, Inc., and Entegra providing for the proposed merger with Entegra, (5) the failure to obtain necessary shareholder or regulatory approvals for the merger with Entegra, (6) the possibility that the amount of the costs, fees, expenses, and charges related to the merger with Entegra may be greater than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected or unknown factors, events, or liabilities, (7) the failure of the conditions to the merger with Entegra to be satisfied, (8) the risk of successful integration of the two companies’ businesses, including the risk that the integration of Entegra’s operations with those of SmartFinancial will be materially delayed or will be more costly or difficult than expected, (9) the risk of expansion into new geographic or product markets, (10) reputational risk and the reaction of SmartFinancial’s and Entegra’s customers to the merger, (11) the risk of potential litigation or regulatory action related to the merger with Entegra, (12) the dilution caused by SmartFinancial’s issuance of additional shares of its common stock in the merger with Entegra, and (13) general competitive, economic, political, and market conditions.

SmartFinancial disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this presentation, which speak only as of the date hereof, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Statements included in this presentation include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation include: (i) tangible common equity, (ii) tangible book value per share, (iii) core net interest margin, (iv) operating efficiency ratio, (v) operating return on average assets, (vi) operating earnings per share, and (vii) operating return on tangible common equity. Tangible common equity excludes total preferred stock, preferred stock paid in capital, goodwill, and other intangible assets, and tangible book value per share reflects the per share value of tangible common equity. Core net interest margin adjusts net interest margin to exclude the impact of purchase accounting. The operating efficiency ratio excludes securities gains and losses and merger related expenses from the efficiency ratio. Net operating income excludes securities gains and losses and merger related expenses, and the effect of the December, 2017 tax law change on deferred tax assets, and the income tax effect of adjustments, and operating return on average assets is net operating income divided by GAAP total average assets. Operating earnings per share is net operating income divided by GAAP total average assets. Operating return on tangible common equity is net operating income divided by tangible common equity. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider SmartFinancial's performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. 2
