Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the information in this report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of and intended to be
covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements
typically are identified with use of terms such as “may,” “might,” “will, “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,”
“estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “could,” “continue” and the negative of these terms and similar words, although some
forward-looking statements may be expressed differently. Forward-looking statements also include, but are not limited to,
statements regarding plans, objectives, expectations or consequences of announced transactions and statements about
the future performance, operations, products and services of the Company and its subsidiaries. Our ability to predict results
or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. You should be aware that our actual results could
differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements or historical performance due to a number of
factors, including, but not limited to: our ability to efficiently integrate acquisitions into our operations, retain the customers
of these businesses and grow the acquired operations; reputational risks; credit risk; changes in the appraised valuation
of real estate securing impaired loans; outcomes of litigation and other contingencies; exposure to general and local
economic conditions; risks associated with rapid increases or decreases in prevailing interest rates; consolidation within
the banking industry; competition from banks and other financial institutions; our ability to attract and retain relationship
officers and other key personnel; burdens imposed by federal and state regulation; changes in regulatory requirements;
changes in accounting regulation or standards applicable to banks; and other risks discussed under the caption “Risk
Factors” of our most recently filed Form 10-K and in Part II, 1A of our most recently filed Form 10-Q, all of which could
cause the Company’s actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis
and expectations only as of the date of such statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are
made, and the Company does not intend, and undertakes no obligation, to publicly revise or update forward-looking
statements after the date of this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required
by federal securities law. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all risk factors. Readers should
carefully review all disclosures we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) which
are available on our website at www.enterprisebank.com under "Investor Relations."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company's accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”)
and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, the Company provides other financial measures, such as core net
interest margin and other core performance measures, in this presentation that are considered “non-GAAP financial measures.”
Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's financial performance, financial position, or cash
flows that exclude (or include) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP.
The Company considers its core performance measures presented in this presentation as important measures of financial
performance, even though they are non-GAAP measures, as they provide supplemental information by which to evaluate the impact
of non-core acquired loans and related income and expenses, the impact of non-comparable items, and the Company's operating
performance on an ongoing basis. Core performance measures include contractual interest on non-core acquired loans but exclude
incremental accretion on these loans. Core performance measures also exclude the gain or loss on sale of other real estate from
non-core acquired loans, and expenses directly related to the non-core acquired loans and other assets formerly covered under
FDIC loss share agreements. Core performance measures also exclude certain other income and expense items, such as executive
separation costs, merger related expenses, facilities charges, deferred tax asset revaluation due to U.S. corporate income tax reform,
and the gain or loss on sale of investment securities, the Company believes to be not indicative of or useful to measure the Company's
operating performance on an ongoing basis. The attached tables contain a reconciliation of these core performance measures to
the GAAP measures.
The Company believes these non-GAAP measures and ratios, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and
ratios, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company's performance and capital strength. The Company's
management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP measures and ratios in assessing the
Company's operating results and related trends and when forecasting future periods. However, these non-GAAP measures and
ratios should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, ratios prepared in accordance with GAAP. In
the tables below, the Company has provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures
and ratios to the non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure
for the periods indicated.
Peer group data consists of median of publicly traded banks with total assets from $2-$10 billion with commercial loans greater than
20% and consumer loans less than 10%.
