-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future results, and
there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially
from expectations. 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 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. All numbers included in this presentation are unaudited
unless otherwise noted. 2
