EARNINGS RELEASE
USCB Financial Holdings, Inc. Reports EPS of $0.29 and ROAA of
 
1.11%
 
for Q1 2023
MIAMI, FL
 
– April
 
27, 2023
 
– USCB
 
Financial Holdings,
 
Inc. (the
 
“Company”) (NASDAQ:
 
USCB)
, the
 
holding company
 
for
U.S. Century Bank
 
(the “Bank”), reported
 
net income of $5.8
 
million or $0.29 per
 
diluted share for the
 
three months ended March
 
31,
2023, compared with net income of $4.9 million or $0.24 per diluted
 
share, for the same period in 2022.
 
"The beginning
 
of 2023
 
was marked
 
by significant
 
events such
 
as the
 
sudden failure
 
of three
 
banks, prompting
 
heightened concerns
about the safety and
 
soundness of the banking industry,
 
and ongoing discussions of a
 
potential recession. Despite these
 
challenges, we
are pleased to announce that the USCB team delivered strong performance in the first quarter of 2023,
 
reflecting our ability to navigate
this challenging
 
operating environment
 
with prudent
 
consistency.
 
Our financial
 
results demonstrate
 
robust earnings,
 
driven by
 
strong
loan
 
production,
 
and
 
disciplined
 
credit
 
underwriting
 
and
 
risk
 
management
 
practices”
 
said
 
Luis
 
de
 
la
 
Aguilera,
 
President
 
and
 
Chief
Executive
 
Officer.
 
"Our strength
 
and stability
 
are reinforced
 
by our
 
growing core
 
customer relationships,
 
which have
 
enabled us
 
to
build a granular deposit base and diversified loan portfolio,
 
in one of the most vibrant markets in the United States.” Mr. de la Aguilera
went on to say,
 
“ our deposits are derived primarily
 
from our local customers and communities.
 
We do
 
not have any material exposure
to either crypto currencies or investments or to crypto-related business.”
Unless otherwise
 
stated,
 
all percentage
 
comparisons
 
in
 
the bullet

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings
 
release 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.
 
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
 
exhibits

are those that are not historical facts. The words “may,” “will,”
 
“anticipate,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,”
 
“expect,” “aim,” “plan,” “estimate,” “continue,” and “intend,” as well
 
as other similar words and expressions of the future, are
 
intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
 
statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to our projected
 
growth, anticipated future financial performance, and management’s
 
long-term performance goals, as well as statements relating
 
to the anticipated effects on results of operations and financial condition
 
from expected developments or events, or business and growth
 
strategies, including anticipated internal growth and balance
 
sheet restructuring. These forward-looking statements involve
 
significant risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results
 
to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
 
Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: •
 
the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength
 
of the local economies in which we conduct operations; • our
 
ability to successfully manage interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity
 
risk, and other risks inherent to our industry; • the accuracy
 
of our financial statement estimates and assumptions, including the estimates
 
used for our credit loss reserve and deferred
 
tax asset valuation allowance; • the efficiency and effectiveness of our
 
internal control environment; • our ability to comply with the extensive
 
laws and regulations to which we are subject, including the laws for
 
each jurisdiction where
we operate; • adverse changes or conditions in capital and financial
 
markets, including actual or potential stresses in the banking industry;
 
deposit attrition and the level of our uninsured deposits; legislative
 
or regulatory changes and changes in accounting principles,
 
policies, practices or guidelines, including the on-going effects
 
of the implementation of the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”)
 
standard; • the effects of our lack of a diversified loan portfolio and
 
concentration in the South Florida market, including the
 
risks of geographic, depositor, and industry concentrations, including
 
our concentration in loans secured by real estate; effects
 
of climate change; • the concentration of ownership of our common
 
stock; • fluctuations in the price of our common stock; • our ability
 
to fund or access the capital markets at attractive rates and terms
 
and manage our growth, both organic growth as well as growth
 
through other means, such as future acquisitions; • inflation, interest rate,
 
unemployment rate, market, and monetary fluctuations; impacts
 
of international hostilities and geopolitical events; • increased
 
competition and its effect on the pricing of our products and services
 
as well as our margin; • the effectiveness of our risk management strategies,
 
including operational risks, including, but not limited to, client,
 
employee, or third-party fraud and security breaches; and • other
 
risks described in this presentation and other filings we make with the
 
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All forward
 
-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 statements to reflect events or circumstances after
 
the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occur
 
rence 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. 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
