Therefore, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on any forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking
statements included in this presentation are made only as of the
date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances
after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence
of
unanticipated events, unless required to do so under the federal securities
laws. You should also review the risk factors described in
the reports USCB Financial Holdings, Inc. filed or will file with the
SEC and, for periods prior to the completion of the bank holding company
reorganization in December 31, 2021, U.S Century Bank filed
with the FDIC. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation
includes financial information determined by methods other than
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
This financial information includes certain operating performance
measures. Management has included these non-GAAP measures because
it believes these measures may provide useful supplemental information
for evaluating the Company’s underlying performance
trends. Further, management uses these measures in managing and evaluating
the Company’s business and intends to refer to them in discussions
about our operations and performance. Operating performance
measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to
or substitute for, measures determined in accordance
with GAAP, and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures
that may be presented by other companies. To the extent
applicable, reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the
most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in the ‘Non-GAAP
Reconciliation Tables’ included in the presentation. You
should assume that all numbers are unaudited unless otherwise
noted. 2
