These forward - looking statements include, without limitation, those relating to Simmons First National Corporation’s (“Company”) future growth, revenue, expenses, assets, asset quality, profitability and earnings, critical accounting policies, accretion, net interest margin, non - interest revenue, market conditions related to and impact of the Company's common stock repurchase program, adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, 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, and the expected benefits, milestones or costs associated with the Company’s acquisition strategy and Next Generation Bank Program, the Company’s ability to recruit and retain key employees, the ability of the Company to manage the impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic, legal and regulatory limitations and compliance and competition, anticipated loan payoffs, future status of the Paycheck Protection Program and loan applications thereunder, statements under the caption “Management’s Outlook” on slides 18 and 20 , timing of branch closures, and projected dividends . 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 ; the availability of and costs associated with obtaining adequate and timely sources of liquidity ; the ability to maintain credit quality ; the effects of the COVID - 19 pandemic on, among other things, the Company’s operations, liquidity, and credit quality ; general market and economic conditions ; unemployment ; possible adverse rulings, judgments, settlements and other outcomes of pending or future litigation (including litigation arising from the Company’s participation in and administration of programs related to the COVID - 19 pandemic (including the CARES Act)) ; the ability of the Company to collect amounts due under loan agreements ; changes in consumer preferences and loan demand ; 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 ; changes in interest rates, deposit flows, real estate values, and capital markets ; inflation ; customer acceptance of the Company's products and services ; changes or disruptions in technology and IT systems (including cyber threats, attacks and events) ; changes in accounting principles relating to loan loss recognition (CECL) ; and other risk factors .

Any forward - looking statement speaks only as of the date of this Report, and the Company undertakes 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 adjust GAAP performance measures to, among other things, include the tax benefit associated with revenue items that are tax - exempt, as well as exclude from income available to common shareholders certain expenses related to significant non - core activities, such as merger - related expenses, expenses related to the Company’s early retirement program, gain on sale of branches, and branch right - sizing expenses . In addition, the Company also presents certain figures based on tangible common stockholders’ equity and tangible book value, which exclude goodwill and other intangible assets . The Company’s management believes that these non - GAAP financial measure are useful to investors because they, among other things, present the results of the Company’s ongoing operations without the effect of mergers or other items not central to the Company’s ongoing business, as well as normalizing for tax effects . Management, therefore, 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 . Where non - GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the appendix to this presentation .

Methodology CECL – Adopted January 1, 2020 ▪ Loans with similar risk characteristics such as loan type, collateral type, and internal risk ratings are aggregated into seg men ts ▪ Discounted Cash Flow utilized for majority of pool modeling ▪ Reserve factors are based on estimated probability of default and loss given default for each segment – The estimates are determined based on management’s assessment of economic forecasts over the reasonable and supportable forecast period (12 - months) – For contractual periods that extend beyond the one - year forecast period, the estimates revert to average historical loss experiences over a one - year period on a straight - line basis ▪ Further qualitative adjustments are based on factors and considerations that have not otherwise been fully accounted for ▪ Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis by either estimating the fair value of underlying collateral or the present value of expected cash flows CCAR = Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review, a regulatory framework to assess, regulate and supervise large banks and fi nan cial institutions OCC = Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Economic Scenarios ▪ Identify specific economic variables that have a statistical correlation with the portfolio’s historical loss experience ▪ Utilize forecast of the economic variables published by Moody’s Analytics ▪ Utilize three published CCAR scenarios from the Federal Reserve/OCC scenarios – Baseline – Adverse – Severely Adverse ▪ At 3/31/20, used the Moody’s COVID - 19 Severe Pandemic scenario and an internally developed COVID - 19/Financial Crisis scenario to determine the weighting of the CCAR scenarios 6

Category Q1 - 20 Linked Quarter Change Management’s Outlook Interest Income Down $4.2 million or 2.0% Expect continued negative impact from: - Additional variable rate loans repricing - Lower yields on investment securities and interest bearing cash accounts - Loan growth tempered (flat to down 5%) Interest Expense Down $4.6 million or 9.9% Anticipate improvement for the balance of the year as deposits and borrowing rates decrease Net Interest Income Up $417,000 or 0.3% Expect a flat to slightly declining NIM for the balance of 2020 Trust Revenue Down $279,000 or 3.8% Anticipate a slight decrease in Trust revenue due to pricing being based on market value Service Charges Flat Anticipate modest decrease in service charge fee income on deposits and ODP fees Mortgage Revenue Up $1.0 million or 25.2% Expect a significant decrease beginning in Q2 - 20 as construction and refinancing slows Debit and Credit Card fees Down $1.0 million or 11.3% While some of the linked quarter decrease is related to seasonality, we expect a decline in transaction volume in both debit and credit cards Gain on sale of securities Up $31.7 million Management does not anticipate a significant sale of additional investment securities Other income Up $5.7 million The increase was primarily driven by the gain on sale of the South Texas branches. We expect to book a gain on the sale of the Denver branches in Q2. Excluding the gains, management expects other income to decrease due to lower income related to recoveries Revenue 18
▪ Interest Rates – In March, the Fed reduced the Fed Funds target rate by 150 basis points. ▪ Interest Bearing Transaction Deposits – Rates were lowered during the latter part of the quarter. ▪ Time Deposits – Rates were lowered during the latter part of the quarter.

Category Q1 - 20 Linked Quarter Change Management’s Outlook Provision Expense Up $21.2 million Increase was driven by impact of adopting CECL and the potential impact of COVID - 19 on the economy. Salaries and Employee Benefits Up $4.7 million or 7.4% The increase was impacted by a full quarter effect of the Landmark Bank acquisition. The system conversion of Landmark was completed on 2/14/20 and cost savings will be realized beginning in Q2 - 20. Other Expected Changes: - Incentive payouts likely to be lower with a emphasis on maintenance of asset quality, customer care and less focus on growth - Impact from sale of branches in South Texas and Denver - Branch rightsizing – announced the closing of 12 branches - Will continue to review other branch rightsizing opportunities - Enhanced emphasis on efficiencies through the Company - Voluntary early retirement plan Occupancy Expense Flat Expect a decrease in occupancy due to the branch sales and branch closing Other operating Expense Up $744,000 or 2.0% Enhanced emphasis on efficiencies through the Company.
