CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

(Unaudited; in thousands)

We are pleased to report unaudited financial results for Kish Bancorp, Inc., parent company of Kish Bank and related affiliates, for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2019. Year- end highlights include record earnings powered by sustained lending activity, a shift in the deposit mix that helped to sustain the Bank's net interest margin, and strong noninterest income expansion by the Bank and non-bank business units.

BALANCE SHEET

The Corporation's total assets ended the period at $916.8 million, an increase of $66.3 million, or 7.80%, compared to total assets of $850.5 million as of December 31, 2018. Total loans outstanding grew year over year by $49.1 million to $679.5 million, or 7.78%. Loan growth was complemented by an increase in investment securities of $6.6 million. Total deposits grew by $27.9 million to $710.2 million, an increase of 4.09% from $682.4 million a year ago, with a notable expansion in core deposits partially offset by a decline in high balance CD deposits. An increase in borrowings to $126.8 million, compared to $100.5 million as of December 31, 2018, can be attributed primarily to fixed-rate,longer-term loan funding.

NET INCOME

The continued strong growth of the Bank and its affiliates resulted in record-breaking net income for 2019 of $7.01 mil- lion, an increase of $980 thousand, or 16.22%, compared to $6.03 million in 2018. The increase includes positive expansion in both net interest income, up 6.83% over the prior year, and noninterest income, which increased 14.29% overall. Continued positive credit quality was augmented by the resolution of several problem credits in 2019, with overall credit quality metrics currently at excellent levels as is reflected in low delinquencies and non-performing loan levels.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Continued growth in loans and core deposits supported the expansion of net interest income before provision to $27.5 million as of December 31, 2019, an increase of $1.8 million, or 6.83%, compared to $25.8 million as of December 31, 2018. The net interest margin remained relatively stable in 2019 compared to 2018, allowing net interest income to reflect the growth in earning assets. Contributions to the loan loss reserve from earnings equaled $390 thousand in 2019, compared to $1.0 million in 2018. The allowance for loan losses was further strengthened in 2019 by the recovery of prior period losses, with the reserve rising to 1.09% of total loans from 1.04% the prior year.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income was $8.5 million for 2019, which is an increase of $1.1 million, or 14.29%, when compared to 2018. When unrealized gains/losses from equity securities are excluded, noninterest income increased by $1.4 million, or 17.90%, year over year. Record-level residential mortgage originations resulted in a 36.48% in gains from loan sales. Fees derived from deposit

activities remained steady, while revenues from travel agency, benefits consulting, and wealth management activities all showed strong growth when compared to the previous year. Property and casualty insurance commissions also grew, but results for the insurance unit were offset by a decline in contingency income.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Year over year, noninterest expense increased by $2.2 million, or 8.67%, to $27.7 million as of December 31, 2019, compared to $25.5 million the prior year. Most increases in noninterest expense categories were close to budget, but it should be noted that increased non-recurring operating costs of $429 thousand in the second half of 2019 related to the Bank's upcoming core con- version. A marked decline in core processing expense is projected to follow the core conversion scheduled for mid-year 2020. All other expense categories were well controlled when compared to the prior year.

DIVIDEND

The Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.27 per share, payable January 31, 2020, to shareholders of record as of January 15, 2020. This represents an 8.00% increase in the quarterly dividend, compared to $0.25 the previous quarter.
