Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release

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

measures

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,” “could,” “ should,” “would,”
 
“believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “aim,” “plan,” “estimate,”
 
“continue,” and “intend,”, the negative of these terms, 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 our results of operations and financial condition
 
from expected or potential 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 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
 
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, and 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 net interest rate spread and net
 
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
 
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 occurring 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 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 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 financial measures reconciliation
 
tables included in this presentation. All numbers included in
 
this presentation are unaudited unless otherwise noted. 2
