we are navigating a challenging operational environment with an inverted yield curve,
 
higher deposit

and
 
liquidity

Despite
 
these
 
headwinds,
 
we
 
continue
 
to
 
execute
 
our
 
plans,
 
steadily
 
growing
 
both
 
loans
 
and
 
deposits,
underscoring our
 
resilience and
 
commitment to
 
serve our
 
customers and
 
community.
 
As we
 
look forward
 
to the

we are
encouraged by
 
increased and diversified
 
loan demand, which
 
positions us well
 
for the second

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

GAAP
 
measures

it
 
believes

provide
 
useful
 
supplemental
 
information
 
for
 
evaluating
 
the
 
Company’s

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

measures

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation
 
may contain statements that are not historical in nature and are
 
intended to be, and are hereby identified as, forward-looking statements
 
for purposes of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the
 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
Forward-looking statements 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 procedures and processes; 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 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. 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 expectations and 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

compared to the prior quarter and $155.8 million or 9.1% compared

DDA balances comprised 32.1% of total deposits as of June 30, 2023. Deposit
 
beta of 36% since Q4 2021. In abundance of caution given the recent
 
bank failures, brought in $50 million of brokered CDs at a weighted average
 
rate of 4.98% to boost liquidity. 7

interest income decreased by $1.8 million compared to the prior quarter
 
predominately due to increase in deposit cost and a liability sensitive
 
balance sheet. Held more cash in wake of recent bank failures and
 
increased liquidity with higher priced brokered CD’s ($50
 
million) which negatively impacted NIM. Shift in deposit mix; out
 
of DDA and into interest bearing deposits. Majority of Q2 loan
 
production (higher yields) was booked at the end of the quarter,
 
the full impact on the NIM is yet to be realized. $50 million notional
 
pay fixed rate swap executed in Q2; $100 million pay fixed rate
