Income from Operations
Net Interest Income
Interest income was $47.8 million for the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of 1% from the first quarter of 2021
 
and a decrease of 3% from
the previous quarter.
 
Interest income was slightly down from the first quarter of 2021 as a result of lower average loans outstanding and a
reduction of PPP fee income. Average earning assets totaled $5.4 billion for the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $223 million or 4%
from the same quarter in 2021. For the first quarter of 2022, interest income declined compared
 
to the prior quarter primarily due to fewer
days in the quarter and nonaccrual loan movement.
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2022 was $4.6 million, or 34% lower than the first quarter of 2021
 
and 19% lower than the previous
quarter.
 
Average interest-bearing deposits decreased to $3.5 billion in the first quarter of 2022, or a 15% decrease from the same prior year
period. FHLB and short-term borrowing decreases also impacted interest
 
expense for the current quarter, decreasing $0.2 million or 14%
compared to the first quarter of 2021. The decline in cost of funds from the previous quarter to 0.39%, compared to 0.48% for
 
the fourth
quarter of 2021, was the primary driver of lower interest expense sequentially. The prepayment
 
of $40 million of FHLB advances in the
fourth quarter of 2021 was a primary driver of the higher cost of funds in the fourth
 
quarter. The prepayment penalty on the FHLB
advances contributed to a 0.05% increase in the previous quarter.
Net interest income totaled $43.1 million for the first quarter of 2022 or 1% less than
 
the fourth quarter of 2021, and 5% higher than the
first quarter of 2021.
 
Tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased to 3.29% in the current quarter, from 3.30% in the previous quarter, and
increased from 3.01% in the same quarter in 2021.
 
During the first quarter of 2022, CrossFirst realized $0.9 million in fees from the
forgiveness of $34 million of PPP loans. 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 $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2022.
 
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income increased $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2022 or 19% compared
 
to the same quarter of 2021 and increased $0.1
million compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in non-interest income compared
 
to the previous quarter was due to a $0.2
million increase in credit card fees and $0.2 million increase in service charge income, partly offset by a $0.2 million
 
decrease in letter of
credit fees. The increase in non-interest income compared to the same quarter of 2021, was primarily
 
due to increases of $0.3 million in
credit card fees and $0.5 million in service charge income.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the first quarter of 2022 was $27.7 million, which increased 21% compared
 
to the first quarter of 2021 and
increased 4% from the fourth quarter of 2021.
 
Salaries and benefit costs were higher in the current quarter by $1.5 million compared to
the prior quarter and $4.4 million higher than the same quarter in the prior year mainly due to increased
 
hiring for market expansion and
increased incentive expenses. Software and communication expenses increased
 
$0.2 million compared to the same quarter in the prior
year, offset by a $0.4 million decrease in deposit insurance premiums. Compared to the prior quarter,
 
occupancy expense increased $0.1
million and software and communication expenses increased $0.1 million, partly offset
 
by a decrease in other non-interest expenses.
CrossFirst’s effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was 20%, as compared
 
to 19% for the first quarter of 2021 and 22% in the fourth
quarter of 2021. The tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 decreased slightly compared to the prior quarter due to the impact of
 
stock-based
awards vesting. For both 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 ratio of taxable income
 
to tax-exempt income increases.
The Company changed the annualization method on the available-for-sale securities portfolio from Actual/Actual to 30/360 and moved the
unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities from an interest-earning asset to a non-interest
 
earning asset. All periods presented
reflect this change.

Balance Sheet Performance & Analysis
During the first quarter of 2022, total assets decreased by $103 million or 2% compared to December
 
31, 2021, and decreased $480
million or 8% compared to March 31, 2021. Total assets decreased on a linked quarter basis primarily due to a
 
$206 million decrease in
cash and cash equivalents, partly offset by a $97 million increase in net loans.
 
The year-over-year decrease was due to decreases in cash
and cash equivalents of $354 million and PPP loan forgiveness of $305 million. Non-interest-bearing
 
deposits decreased $53 million
compared to December 31, 2021, and increased $316 million from March 31, 202
 
1. During the first quarter of
2022
, available-for-sale
investment securities decreased $23 million to $723 million compared to December 31,
 
2021. The securities yields decreased 2 basis
points to a tax equivalent yield of 3.00% for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the prior quarter.
Loan Results
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company experienced an increase in average loans of $112 million
 
compared to the fourth quarter of
2021, and a decrease of $174 million or 4% compared to the first quarter of 2021. The year-over-year
 
reduction in average loans was
primarily a result of PPP loan forgiveness. Net of PPP loans, average loans grew 4% compared to the quarter ended December
 
31, 2021.
Loan yields decreased 17 basis points to 4.00% during the first quarter of 2022 and increased

Deposit & Other Borrowing Results
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company experienced an increase in average deposits of
 
2% compared to the previous quarter, and a
4% decline in average deposits compared to the first quarter of 2021. The deposit growth for the
 
quarter was driven by a continued
increase in non-interest-bearing and transaction deposits, which represented
 
25% and 13% of total deposits, respectively, at March 31,
2022. In addition, the Company continued to improve the overall cost of deposits, which declined
 
2 basis points during the first quarter of
2022.
 
The cost of interest-bearing deposits has declined 16 basis points over the last twelve months primarily
 
as a result of the lower
interest rate environment.

At March 31, 2022, other borrowings totaled $228 million, as compared to $238 million at December
 
31, 2021, and $287 million at
March 31, 2021.
Asset Quality Position
Credit quality metrics generally improved during the first quarter of 2022 as the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”)
 
decreased by $3
million compared to the prior quarter, reflecting some stabilization in the Company’s
 
economic outlook. The allowance for credit losses
was $55 million or 1.27% of outstanding loans and 167% of nonaccruing loans at March 31, 2022. The combined allowance for credit
losses and accrual for off-balance sheet credit risk from unfunded commitments
 
(“RUC”) was $60 million or 1.38% of outstanding loans
and 182% of nonaccruing loans at March 31, 2022. Excluding PPP loans, the allowance
 
for credit losses was 1.28% of outstanding loans
and the combined allowance for credit losses and accrual for off-balance
 
sheet credit risk from unfunded loan commitments was 1.39%.
 
The allowance for credit losses to total loans decreased to 1.27% at March 31, 2022 from 1.37%
 
at December 31, 2021. The improvements
in credit metrics compared to March 31, 2021 were primarily driven by upgrades in COVID-19
 
impacted segments and the Energy
portfolio. Net charge-offs were $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2022 as compared to $0.8 million for the
 
fourth quarter of 2021. The
charge-offs for the current quarter were primarily related to commercial and industrial and energy credits. The following table provides

December 31, 2021. During the first quarter of 2022, CrossFirst continued its $30 million share repurchase program
 
by purchasing
1,058,332 shares or 2% of common stock outstanding. In addition, accumulated other comprehensive
 
income (loss) declined by $43
million between December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022; driven by
 
a $45 million decrease in the unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-
sale securities, net of tax.
 
The ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was approximately 12% and the total capital to
 
risk-weighted assets was
approximately 13% at March 31, 2022. The Company remains well-capitalized.

are not final until the Company’s Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q is filed. This earnings release contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the Company's
current views with respect to, among other things, future events and its financial performance. Any statements about management’s
expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance
 
are not historical facts and may
be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such
 
as “anticipate,” “believes,”
“can,” “could,” “may,” “predicts,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “estimate,” “plans,” “projects,”
 
“continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,”
“intends” and similar words or phrases. Any forward-looking statements in this earnings release may turn out to be inaccurate. The

by us or any other person that
the future plans, estimates or expectations contemplated by us will be achieved.
 
The Company has based these forward-looking statements
largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its financial
condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Our actual results could differ materially from
 
those anticipated in
such forward-looking statements.
Accordingly, the Company cautions you that any such forward-looking statements are
 
not a guarantee of future performance and that
actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking
 
statements due to a
number of factors. Such factors include, without limitation, those listed from time
 
to time in reports that the Company files with the
Securities and Exchange Commission as well as the uncertain impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
 
and geopolitical events. These forward-
looking statements are made as of the date of this communication, and the Company
 
does not intend, and assumes no obligation, to update
any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or

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:
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 credit losses.
