NASDAQ: SFNC Investor Presentation
Forward - Looking Statements and Non - GAAP Financial Measures 2 Certain statements contained in this presentation may not be based on historical facts and are "forward - looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27 A of the Securities Act of 1933 , as amended, and Section 21 E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended . These forward - looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period(s) or by the use of forward - looking terminology, such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "foresee," "may," "might," "will," "would," "could" or "intend," future or conditional verb tenses, and variations or negatives of such terms . These forward - looking statements include, without limitation, those relating to the Company's future growth, revenue, assets, asset quality, profitability and customer service, critical accounting policies, net interest margin, non - interest revenue, market conditions related to the Company's common stock repurchase program, allowance for loan losses, the effect of certain new accounting standards on the Company's financial statements, income tax deductions, credit quality, the level of credit losses from lending commitments, net interest revenue, interest rate sensitivity, loan loss experience, liquidity, capital resources, market risk, earnings, effect of pending litigation, acquisition strategy (including, without limitation, the expected benefits and timeline of the proposed merger of The Landrum Company with and into the Company), legal and regulatory limitations and compliance and competition . Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward - looking statements contained in this presentation in that actual results could differ materially from those indicated in such forward - looking statements, due to a variety of factors . These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in the Company's operating or expansion strategy, availability of and costs associated with obtaining adequate and timely sources of liquidity, the ability to maintain credit quality, possible adverse rulings, judgments, settlements and other outcomes of pending litigation, the ability of the Company to collect amounts due under loan agreements, changes in consumer preferences, effectiveness of the Company's interest rate risk management strategies, laws and regulations affecting financial institutions in general or relating to taxes, the effect of pending or future legislation, the ability of the Company to repurchase its common stock on favorable terms, the ability of the Company to successfully implement its acquisition strategy (including, without limitation, the ability of the Company to receive all necessary approvals and meet other closing conditions with respect to the proposed merger of The Landrum Company with and into the Company), changes in interest rates and capital markets, inflation, customer acceptance of the Company's products and services, and other risk factors . Other relevant risk factors may be detailed from time to time in the Company's press releases and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission . Any forward - looking statement speaks only as of the date of this Report, and we undertake no obligation to update these forward - looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date of this Report . Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results . Non - GAAP Financial Measures This document contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) . The Company's management uses these non - GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the company's performance . These measures typically adjust GAAP performance measures to include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax - exempt, as well as adjust income available to common shareholders for certain significant activities or nonrecurring transactions . Since the presentation of these GAAP performance measures and their impact differ between companies, management believes presentations of these non - GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the company's core businesses . These non - GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non - GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies .

Credit Quality: Loan & Credit Coverage 15 Upon acquisition of a portfolio, all loans are considered acquired and have a credit mark (loan discount) in place to cover potential exposure . When an acquired, non - impaired loan is renewed or otherwise is re - underwritten for a formal modification or change in terms, the loan is then considered as a legacy credit (migrated loan) and is expected to conform to current policy guidelines . Acquired, impaired loans remain in the acquired pools for the life of the loan regardless of renewal or modification status . Migrated loans that convert to the legacy portfolio are considered to be of acceptable risk to the bank and are subject to ALLL methodology . As with newly originated loans, acceptable credit risk loans require a lower ALLL allocation than those with a higher level of risk . Therefore, our ALLL to total loans ratio has declined, as the quality of loans subject to our ALLL methodology has improved . When acquired loan credit mark is included, our total coverage ratio remains 1 . 04 % .
