Income from Operations
Net Interest Income
Interest income was $47.3 million for the third quarter of 2021, a decrease of 2% from the third quarter of 2020 and a 1% decrease from
the previous quarter.Interest income was down from the third quarter of 2020 as a result of lower average loans outstanding. Average
earning assets totaled $5.3 billion for the third quarter of 2021, a decrease of $68 million or 1% from the same quarter in 2020.The tax-
equivalent yield on earning assets increased from 3.57% to 3.62% during the third quarter of 2021, and was down from 3.66% in the third
quarter of 2020, primarily due to the movement of variable rate assets indexed to market rates.Year-to-date, interest income was $143.9
million, which declined compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to the yield movements on earning assets.
Interest expense for the third quarter of 2021 was $5.5 million, or 40% lower than the third quarter of 2020 and 10% lower than the
previous quarter.Average interest-bearing deposits decreased to $3.5 billion in the third quarter of 2021, or a 3% decrease from the same
prior year period.Cost of funds for the quarter was 0.46%, compared to 0.49% for the second quarter of 2021.Year-to-date, interest
expense was $18.7 million, a decrease of 47% from the same period in the prior year due to lower market rates.
Net interest income totaled $41.8 million for the third quarter of 2021 or 1% lower than the second quarter of 2021, and 6% higher than
the third quarter of 2020.Tax-equivalent net interest margin increased to 3.20% in the current quarter, from 3.12% in the previous quarter,
and increased from 2.98% in the same quarter in 2020.During the third quarter of 2021, CrossFirst realized $1.7 million in fees from the
forgiveness of $88 million of PPP loans.Including fees recognized, the PPP loans yielded 5.50% for the current quarter and the Company
will continue to recognize fees over the life of the loans or as the loans are forgiven.The tax-equivalent adjustment, which accounts for
income taxes saved on the interest earned on nontaxable securities and loans, was $0.7 million for the third quarter of 2021.Year-to-date
net interest income grew to $125.2 million, an increase of 6% from the same period in the prior year, while tax-equivalent net interest
margin declined to 3.10% from 3.13% for the same prior year period.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income decreased $5.2 million in the third quarter of 2021 or 127% compared to the same quarter of 2020 and decreased $6.9
million compared to the second quarter of 2021.During the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a $6.2 million impairment loss
related to an equity investment that was received as part of a restructured loan agreement, which was partially offset by increases of $0.3
million in credit card fees and $0.4 million in service charge income as compared to the same quarter of 2020.Year-to-date non-interest
income was up $0.1 million or 1% compared to the same period in the prior year.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2021 was $24.0 million, which increased 4% compared to the third quarter of 2020 and
decreased 7% from the second quarter of 2021.Salaries and benefit costs were lower in the current quarter by $0.3 million compared to
the prior quarter and $0.8 million higher than the same quarter in the prior year mainly due to increased hiring for market expansion.Year-
to-date non-interest expense decreased $3.6 million or 5% from the same period in the prior year primarily due to a $7.4 million goodwill
impairment recorded in the second quarter of 2020. This decrease was partly offset by a $1.6 million increase in salary and employee
benefits, $1.0 million increase in occupancy, and $1.5 million increase in other non-interest expense as compared to the same period in the
prior year.
CrossFirst's effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2021 was 21% as compared to 16% for the third quarter of 2020. The 2021 quarter-to-
date income tax expense was impacted by a $17.2 million increase in income before income taxes that increased taxes at the statutory rate
by $3.6 million.For both of the comparable periods, the Company continued to benefit from the tax-exempt municipal bond portfolio and
bank-owned life insurance.The tax-exempt benefit diminishes as the Company's pre-tax income improves.

compared to September 30, 2020.The total assets change was negatively impacted by the $88 million in PPP loans that were forgiven in

Deposit & Other Borrowing Results
The Company experienced a reduction in average deposits of 6% since June 30, 2021, and increased average deposits 2% year-over-year
from September 30, 2020.The deposit decrease for the quarter was driven by a continued decrease in time deposits and a reduction in
money market accounts.In addition, the Company continued to improve the overall cost of deposits, which declined 3 basis points during
the third quarter of 2021, reflective of average non-interest-bearing deposit increases.The cost of interest-bearing deposits has declined 33
basis points over the last twelve months primarily as a result of the lower interest rate environment.

Asset Quality Position
Credit quality metrics generally improved during the third quarter of 2021 as classified assets decreased $47 million and the ratio of
nonperforming assets to total assets decreased to 0.92% from 1.09% in the previous quarter.The improvements in credit metrics were
primarily driven by upgrades in COVID-19 impacted segments and the Energy portfolio.Net charge-offs were $1.3 million for the third
quarter of 2021 as compared to $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2021.The charge-offs for the current quarter were related to energy
and commercial and industrial credits.
The overall decrease in the allowance for loan losses for the current quarter reflects a relatively minor change in net period-end loan
balances, stabilization in the Company's economic outlook and improved credit performance.These factors resulted in a $10 million
release of reserves during the third quarter.The following table provides information regarding asset quality.

TABLE 5. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses non-GAAP financial measures
in this release. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release reflect industry conventions, or
standard measures within the industry, and provide useful information to the Company's management, investors and other parties
interested in the Company's operating performance. These measurements should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for,
financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have defined below each of the non-GAAP measures we use in this release,
but these measures may not be synonymous to similar measurement terms used by other companies.
CrossFirst provides reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures below. The measures used in this release include the following:
We calculate ''non-GAAP core operating income'' as net income adjusted to remove non-recurring or non-core income and
expense items related to:
Goodwill impairment - We performed an interim review of goodwill as of June 30, 2020. The book value of goodwill
exceeded its fair market value and resulted in a full $7.4 million impairment.
Charges and adjustments associated with the full vesting of a former executive - We incurred additional charges in the second
quarter of 2021 related to the acceleration of $0.7 million of certain cash, stock-based compensation, and employee costs.
Bank Owned Life Insurance - We obtain bank owned life insurance on key employees throughout the organization and
received a $1.8 million benefit in the second quarter of 2021.
Unrealized loss on equity security - During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a $6.2 million
impairment loss related to an equity investment that was received as part of a restructured loan agreement.
The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for non-GAAP core operating income is net income.
We calculate "core return on average tangible common equity" as Non-GAAP core operating income (as defined above)
divided by average tangible common equity. Average tangible common equity is calculated as average common equity less
average goodwill and intangibles and average preferred equity. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is return on
average common equity.
We calculate "Non-GAAP core operating return on average assets" as non-GAAP core operating income (as defined above)
divided by average assets. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is return on average assets, which is
calculated as net income divided by average assets.
We calculate ''non-GAAP core operating return on average common equity'' as non-GAAP core operating income (as
defined above) less preferred dividends divided by average common equity. The most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure is return on average common equity, which is calculated as net income less preferred dividends divided by average
common equity.
We calculate "tangible common stockholders' equity" as total stockholders' equity less goodwill and intangibles and
preferred equity. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is total stockholders' equity.
We calculate ''tangible book value per share'' as tangible common stockholders' equity (as defined above) divided by the
total number of shares outstanding. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is book value per share.
We calculate "non-GAAP core operating efficiency ratio - fully tax equivalent (FTE)" as non-interest expense adjusted to
remove non-recurring, or non-core, non-interest expenses as defined above under non-GAAP core operating income divided
by net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis plus non-interest income adjusted to remove non-recurring, or non-
core, non-interest income as defined above under non-GAAP core operating income. The most directly comparable financial
measure is the efficiency ratio.
We calculate "non-GAAP pre-tax pre-provision profit" as net income before taxes plus the provision for loan losses.
