All

statements
 
are
 
necessarily
 
only

release are made only as of the date hereof, and
 
we undertake no obligation to update or revise
 
any forward-looking statement to reflect events

review the risk factors described in the reports the Company
 
filed or will file with the SEC.
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
 
operations 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 exhibits to this earnings release.
All numbers included in this press release are unaudited
 
unless otherwise noted.

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

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 the 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 lack of a significantly diversified loan portfolio and the concentration
 
in the South Florida market, including the risks of geographic,
 
depositor, and industry concentrations, including our concentration
 
in loans secured by real estate, in particular, commercial real
 
estate; the 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

well as growth through other means, such as future acquisitions;
 
inflation, interest rate, unemployment rate, and market and monetary
 
fluctuations; impacts of international hostilities and geopolitical

interest margin; the loss of key employees; the effectiveness of
 
our risk management strategies, including operational risks, including,
 
but not limited to, client, employee, or third-party fraud and
 
cybersecurity-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 occurring after the date on which the statements

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 financial 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 comparab
 
le 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 this presentation. All numbers
 
included in this presentation are unaudited unless otherwise noted.
