INTRODUCTORY NOTE

Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform

Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations,

estimates and intentions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, many of

which are beyond our control.

The words “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,”

“anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,”

“target,” “goal,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties.

Our actual future results may differ materially from

those set forth in our forward-looking statements.

Our ability to

achieve our financial objectives

could be adversely affected

by the factors discussed

in detail in Part

I, Item 2. “Management’s

Discussion and

Analysis of Financial

Condition and

Results of Operations”

and Part II,

Item 1A. “Risk

Factors” in this

Quarterly Report on

“Introduction” in “Management’s

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations,” in

Part II, Item 7, as well as:

our ability to successfully manage credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and other risks inherent to our industry;

legislative or regulatory changes;

adverse developments in the financial services industry generally, such as the recent bank failures and any related impact on depositor

behavior;

the effects of changes in the level of checking or savings account deposits and the competition for deposits on our funding costs, net

interest margin and ability to replace maturing deposits and advances, as necessary;

the effects of actions taken by governmental agencies to stabilize the recent volatility in the financial system and the effectiveness of such

actions;

changes in monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government;

inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;

the effects of security breaches and computer viruses that may affect our computer systems or fraud related to debit card products;

the accuracy of our financial statement estimates and assumptions, including the estimates used for our allowance for credit losses,

changes in our liquidity position;

changes in accounting principles, policies, practices or guidelines;

our ability to declare and pay dividends, the payment of which is subject to our capital requirements;

changes in the securities and real estate markets;

structural changes in the markets for origination, sale and servicing of residential mortgages;

uncertainty in the pricing of residential mortgage loans that we sell, as well as competition for the mortgage servicing rights related to these

loans and related interest rate risk or price risk resulting from retaining mortgage servicing rights and the potential effects of higher interest

rates on our loan origination volumes

the effect of corporate restructuring, acquisitions or dispositions, including the actual restructuring and other related charges and the failure

to achieve the expected gains, revenue growth or expense savings from such corporate restructuring, acquisitions or dispositions;

the effects of natural disasters, harsh weather conditions (including hurricanes), widespread health emergencies (including pandemics, such

as the COVID-19 pandemic), military conflict, terrorism, civil unrest or other geopolitical events;

our ability to comply with the extensive laws and regulations to which we are subject, including the laws for each jurisdiction where we

operate;

the willingness of clients to accept third-party products and services rather than our products and services and vice versa;

increased competition and its effect on pricing;

technological changes;

the outcomes of litigation or regulatory proceedings;

negative publicity and the impact on our reputation;

changes in consumer spending and saving habits;

growth and profitability of our noninterest income;

the limited trading activity of our common stock;

the concentration of ownership of our common stock;

anti-takeover provisions under federal and state law as well as our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws;

other risks described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and

our ability to manage the risks involved in the foregoing.

However, other factors besides those listed in

Item 1A Risk Factors

or discussed in this Form 10-Q also could adversely affect our results,

and you should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Any forward-looking

statements made by us or on our behalf speak only as of the date they are made.

We do not undertake to update any forward-looking

statement, except as required by applicable law.

CAPITAL CITY BANK

GROUP,

INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 –

BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

.

Capital City Bank Group, Inc. (“CCBG” or the “Company”) provides a full range of

banking and banking-

related services to individual and corporate clients through its subsidiary,

Capital City Bank, with banking offices located in Florida,

Georgia, and Alabama.

The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions, is subject to

regulation by certain

government agencies and undergoes periodic examinations

by those regulatory authorities.

Basis of Presentation

.

The consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form

10-Q include the accounts of CCBG

and its wholly owned subsidiary,

Capital City Bank (“CCB” or the “Bank”).

All material inter-company transactions and accounts

have been eliminated.

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s

presentation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have

been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting

principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form

10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.

Accordingly,

they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted

accounting principles for complete financial

statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal

recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair

presentation have been included.

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at December

31, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial

statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and notes

required by generally accepted accounting principles for

complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes

thereto included in the

Company’s annual report

on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Accounting Standards Updates

Adoption of New Accounting Standard,

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02,

“Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic

326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage

Disclosures.” ASU 2022-02 eliminates

the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings in Accounting

Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-40, “Receivables -

Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors

for entities that have adopted the current expected credit loss model introduced

by ASU

2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic

326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.”

ASU 2022-

02 also requires that public business entities disclose current-period

gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables

and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, “Financial

Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized

Cost.”

Proposed Accounting Standards

,

ASU

2023-01, “Leases (Topic

842)

:

Common Control Arrangements.” ASU 2023-01 requires

entities to amortize leasehold improvements associated with common control

leases over the useful life to the common control group.

ASU 2023-01 also provides certain practical expedients applicable to private

companies and not-for-profit organizations. ASU 2023-

01 will be effective for us on January 1, 2024, though early adoption

is permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU

2023-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

ASU No.

2023-02, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures

(Topic

323)

: Accounting for Investments in Tax

Credit

Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method.” ASU 2023-02

is intended to improve the accounting and disclosures for

investments in tax credit structures. ASU 2023-02 allows entities to elect to account

for qualifying tax equity investments using the

proportional amortization method, regardless of the program giving

rise to the related income tax credits. Previously,

this method was

only available for qualifying tax equity investments in low-income

housing tax credit structures. ASU 2023-02 will be effective for us

on January 1, 2024, though early adoption is permitted.

The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2023-02 will have on its

consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

respectively,

at March 31, 2023 and $

2.1

million and $

5.1

at December 31, 2022.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the investment portfolio had $

1.9

million and $

0.01

million, respectively in equity

securities. These securities do not have a readily determinable fair value

and were not credit impaired.

Securities with an amortized cost of $

660.1

million and $

656.1

million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively,

were

pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes.

The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”), is required

to own capital stock in the FHLB based

generally upon the balances of residential and commercial real estate loans and FHLB

advances.

FHLB stock, which is included in

other securities,

is pledged to secure FHLB advances.

No ready market exists for this stock, and it has no quoted fair value; however,

redemption of this stock has historically been at par value.

11

As a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the Bank is required to maintain

stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta

based on a specified ratio relative to the Bank’s

capital.

Federal Reserve Bank stock is carried at cost.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company transferred certain securities from

the AFS to HTM classification.

Transfers are made

at fair value on the date of the transfer.

The

33

securities had an amortized cost basis and fair value of $

168.4

million and $

159.0

million, respectively at the time of transfer.

The net unamortized, unrealized loss on the transferred securities included in

accumulated

other comprehensive loss in the accompanying balance sheet at March

31, 2023 totaled $

7.1

million.

This amount will continue to be

amortized out of accumulated other comprehensive loss over the remaining

life of the underlying securities as an adjustment of the

yield on those securities.

Investment Sales.

There were no significant sales of investment securities for the three months ended

March 31, 2023 and $

3.4

million

in sales of investment securities for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Maturity Distribution

.

At March 31, 2023, the Company’s

investment securities had the following maturity distribution based

on

contractual maturity.

Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers

may have the right to call or

prepay obligations.

Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and certain amortizing U.S. government

agency securities are shown

separately because they are not due at a certain maturity date.

At March 31, 2023, there were

896

positions (combined AFS and HTM) with unrealized losses totaling $

74.8

million.

87

of these

positions are U.S. Treasury bonds and carry

the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

684

are U.S. government agency

securities issued by U.S. government sponsored entities.

We believe

the long history of no credit losses on government securities

indicates that the expectation of nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is effectively

zero.

The remaining

125

positions (municipal

securities and corporate bonds) have a credit component.

At March 31, 2023, all collateralized mortgage obligation securities

(“CMO”), MBS, Small Business Administration securities (“SBA”), U.S. Agency,

and U.S. Treasury bonds held were AAA rated.

At

March 31, 2023, corporate debt securities had an allowance for credit losses of

$

28,000

and municipal securities had an allowance of

$

8,000

.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company monitors the credit quality of its investment securities through

various risk management procedures, including the

monitoring of credit ratings.

A majority of the debt securities in the Company’s

investment portfolio were issued by a U.S.

government entity or agency and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed

by the U.S. government.

The Company believes the

long history of no credit losses on these securities indicates that the expectation

of nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is

effectively zero, even if the U.S. government were

to technically default.

Further, certain municipal securities held by the Company

have been pre-refunded and secured by government guaranteed treasuries.

Therefore, for the aforementioned securities, the Company

does

no

t assess or record expected credit losses due to the zero loss assumption.

The Company monitors the credit quality of its

municipal and corporate securities portfolio via credit ratings

which are updated on a quarterly basis.

On a quarterly basis, municipal

and corporate securities in an unrealized loss position are evaluated to determine

if the loss is attributable to credit related factors and

if an allowance for credit loss is needed.

$

Accrued interest receivable on loans which is excluded from amortized

cost totaled $

8.6

million at March 31, 2023 and $

8.0

million at

December 31, 2022, and is reported separately in Other Assets.

The Company has pledged a blanket floating lien on all 1-4 family residential mortgage

loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans,

and home equity loans to support available borrowing capacity at the FHLB of

Atlanta and has pledged a blanket floating lien on all

consumer loans, commercial loans, and construction loans to support available

borrowing capacity at the Federal Reserve Bank of

Atlanta.

Loan Purchase and Sales

.

The Company will periodically purchase newly originated 1-4 family real

estate secured adjustable rate

loans from Capital City Home Loans (“CCHL”), a related party.

Residential loan purchases from CCHL totaled $

120.1

million and

$

26.3

million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively,

and were not credit impaired.

14

Allowance for Credit Losses

.

The methodology for estimating the amount of credit losses reported in the

allowance for credit losses

(“ACL”) has two basic components: first, an asset-specific component

involving loans that do not share risk characteristics and the

measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans; and second,

a pooled component for expected credit losses for pools

of loans that share similar risk characteristics.

This allowance methodology is discussed further in Note 1 – Significant

Accounting

Policies in the Company’s 2022 Form

10-K.

The following table details the activity in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio

segment.

Allocation of a portion of the

allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability

to absorb losses in other categories.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the allowance for HFI loans

increased by $

1.8

million and reflected a provision expense

of $

3.3

million and net loan charge-offs of $

1.5

million.

The increase was primarily driven by incremental reserves needed for loan

growth.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the allowance decreased by $

0.9

million and reflected a provision benefit of

$

0.1

million and net loan charge-offs of $

0.8

million.

The decrease reflected improvement in the forecasted level of unemployment

and its potential effect on rates of default.

Four unemployment forecast scenarios were utilized to estimate probability

of default and

are weighted based on management’s

estimate of probability.

See Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies for information on the

allowance for off-balance sheet credit commitments.

Nonaccrual Loans

.

Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status if principal or interest payments

become 90 days past due and/or

management deems the collectability of the principal and/or interest to

be doubtful.

Loans are returned to accrual status when the

principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current

or when future payments are reasonably assured.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans in nonaccrual

status and loans past due over 90 days and still on accrual

A loan is collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing

financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is dependent on

the

sale or operation of the underlying collateral.

The Bank’s collateral dependent

loan portfolio is comprised primarily of real estate secured loans, collateralized

by either residential

or commercial collateral types.

The loans are carried at fair value based on current values determined by

either independent appraisals

or internal evaluations, adjusted for selling costs or other amounts to be deducted

when estimating expected net sales proceeds.

Residential Real Estate Loans In Process of Foreclosure

.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $

0.4

million

and $

0.6

million, respectively, in 1-4 family

residential real estate loans for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, the Company

did

no

t modify any loans made to borrowers experiencing financial

difficulty.

Credit Risk Management

.

The Company has adopted comprehensive lending policies, underwriting standards and

loan review

procedures designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level

of risk.

Management and the Board of Directors review and

approve these policies and procedures on a regular basis (at least annually).

Reporting systems are used to monitor loan originations, loan quality,

concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and nonperforming

loans and potential problem loans.

Management and the Credit Risk Oversight Committee periodically review

our lines of business to

monitor asset quality trends and the appropriateness of credit policies.

In addition, total borrower exposure limits are established and

concentration risk is monitored.

As part of this process, the overall composition of the portfolio is reviewed to gauge diversification

of risk, client concentrations, industry group, loan type, geographic area, or

other relevant classifications of loans.

Specific segments

of the loan portfolio are monitored and reported to the Board on a quarterly basis and

have strategic plans in place to supplement

Board approved credit policies governing exposure limits and underwriting

standards.

Detailed below are the types of loans within

the Company’s loan portfolio

and risk characteristics unique to each.

Commercial, Financial, and Agricultural – Loans in this category

are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower

with consideration given to underlying collateral and personal or

other guarantees.

Lending policy establishes debt service coverage

ratio limits that require a borrower’s cash flow to be sufficient

to cover principal and interest payments on all new and existing debt.

The majority of these loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such

as accounts receivable, inventory,

or

equipment.

Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations.

Loan to value ratios at origination are

governed by established policy guidelines.

Real Estate Construction – Loans in this category consist of short-term

construction loans, revolving and non-revolving credit lines

and construction/permanent loans made to individuals and investors to finance

the acquisition, development, construction or

rehabilitation of real property.

These loans are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower

or project and generally

secured by the property being financed, including 1-4 family residential properties

and commercial properties that are either owner-

occupied or investment in nature.

These properties may include either vacant or improved property.

Construction loans are generally

based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the completed project.

Collateral values are determined based upon third

party appraisals and evaluations.

Loan to value ratios at origination are governed by established policy guidelines.

The disbursement

of funds for construction loans is made in relation to the progress of the project and

as such these loans are closely monitored by on-

site inspections.

17

Real Estate Commercial Mortgage – Loans in this category consists of commercial

mortgage loans secured by property that is either

owner-occupied or investment in nature.

These loans are primarily made based on identified cash flows of the borrower or

project

with consideration given to underlying real estate collateral and

personal guarantees.

Lending policy establishes debt service

coverage ratios and loan to value ratios specific to the property type.

Collateral values are determined based upon third party

appraisals and evaluations.

Real Estate Residential – Residential mortgage loans held in the Company’s

loan portfolio are made to borrowers that demonstrate the

ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to underwriting

factors such as current income, employment status, current

assets, and other financial resources, credit history,

and the value of the collateral.

Collateral consists of mortgage liens on 1-4 family

residential properties.

Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations.

The Company does not

originate sub-prime loans.

Real Estate Home Equity – Home equity loans and lines are made to qualified individuals

for legitimate purposes generally secured

by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied

1-4 family homes or vacation homes.

Borrower qualifications include

favorable credit history combined with supportive income and debt ratio

requirements and combined loan to value ratios within

established policy guidelines.

Collateral values are determined based upon third party appraisals and evaluations.

Consumer Loans – This loan portfolio includes personal installment loans,

direct and indirect automobile financing, and overdraft

lines of credit.

The majority of the consumer loan category consists of direct and indirect automobile

loans.

Lending policy

establishes maximum debt to income ratios, minimum credit scores, and includes

guidelines for verification of applicants’ income and

receipt of credit reports.

Credit Quality Indicators

.

As part of the ongoing monitoring of the Company’s

loan portfolio quality, management

categorizes loans

into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to

service their debt such as: current financial

information, historical payment performance, credit documentation,

and current economic and market trends, among other

factors.

Risk ratings are assigned to each loan and revised as needed through established monitoring

procedures for individual loan

relationships over a predetermined amount and review of smaller balance homogenous

loan pools.

The Company uses the definitions

noted below for categorizing and managing its criticized loans.

Loans categorized as “Pass” do not meet the criteria set forth below

and are not considered criticized.

Special Mention – Loans in this category are presently protected from loss, but

weaknesses are apparent which, if not corrected, could

cause future problems.

Loans in this category may not meet required underwriting criteria and

have no mitigating factors.

More than

the ordinary amount of attention is warranted for these loans.

Substandard – Loans in this category exhibit well-defined weaknesses that would

typically bring normal repayment into jeopardy.

These loans are no longer adequately protected due to well-defined

weaknesses that affect the repayment capacity of the

borrower.

The possibility of loss is much more evident and above average supervision is required for

these loans.

Doubtful – Loans in this category have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan categorized

as Substandard, with the characteristic that

the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of

currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly

questionable and improbable.

Performing/Nonperforming – Loans within certain homogenous

loan pools (home equity and consumer) are not individually reviewed,

but are monitored for credit quality via the aging status of the loan and

by payment activity.

The performing or nonperforming status

is updated on an on-going basis dependent upon improvement and

deterioration in credit quality.

NOTE 4 – MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES

The Company’s mortgage

banking activities include mandatory delivery loan sales, forward sales contracts used

to manage residential

loan pipeline price risk, utilization of warehouse lines to fund secondary

market residential loan closings, and residential mortgage

servicing.

Residential Mortgage Loan Production

The Company originates, markets, and services conventional and

government-sponsored residential mortgage loans.

Generally,

conforming fixed rate residential mortgage loans are held for sale in the secondary

market and non-conforming and adjustable-rate

residential mortgage loans may be held for investment.

The volume of residential mortgage loans originated for sale and secondary

market prices are the primary drivers of origination revenue.

Residential mortgage loan commitments are generally outstanding for 30

to 90 days, which represents the typical period from

commitment to originate a residential mortgage loan to when the closed

loan is sold to an investor.

Residential mortgage loan

commitments are subject to both credit and price risk.

Credit risk is managed through underwriting policies and procedures,

including

collateral requirements, which are generally accepted by the secondary loan markets.

Price risk is primarily related to interest rate

fluctuations and is partially managed through forward sales of residential mortgage

-backed securities (primarily to-be announced

securities, or TBAs) or mandatory delivery commitments with investors.

The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans held for sale, notional

amounts of derivative contracts related to residential

mortgage loan commitments and forward contract sales and their related fair values

are set- forth below.

Conforming conventional loans serviced by the Company are sold to Federal

National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) on a non-

recourse basis, whereby foreclosure losses are generally

the responsibility of FNMA and not the Company.

The government loans

serviced by the Company are secured through the Government National

Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), whereby the Company is

insured against loss by the Federal Housing Administration or partially guaranteed

against loss by the Veterans

Administration.

At

March 31, 2023, the servicing portfolio balance consisted of the following

loan types: FNMA (

48

%), GNMA (

1

%), and private

investor (

51

%).

FNMA and private investor loans are structured as actual/actual payment remittance.

The Company had

no

delinquent residential mortgage loans in GNMA pools serviced by the Company

at March 31, 2023 and $

0.3

at

December 31, 2022, respectively.

recorded in other assets

and other liabilities, respectively,

in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023

and March 31, 2022, the Company repurchased $

0.9

million and $

0.4

million in delinquent residential loans from the GNMA pools.

When delinquent residential loans are repurchased, the Company has

million warehouse line of credit to CCHL, a

51

% owned subsidiary entity.

Balances and

transactions under this line of credit are eliminated in the Company’s

consolidated financial statements and thus not included in the

total short term borrowings noted on the Consolidated Statement of

Financial Condition.

The balance of this line of credit at March

31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $

32.8

million and $

22.9

million, respectively.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVES

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures

that arise from business activities that result in the

receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of

which are determined by interest rates.

The Company’s

derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in

the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s

known or

expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally

related to the Company’s subordinated

debt.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $

30

million at March 31, 2023 were designed as a cash flow hedge for subordinated

debt.

Under the swap arrangement, the Company will pay a fixed interest rate of

2.50

% and receive a variable interest rate based on

three-month LIBOR plus a weighted average margin of

1.83

%.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk,

the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in

accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and subsequently

reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during

which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts

reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives

will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the

Company’s variable-rate subordinated

debt.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) and a Supplemental

Executive Retirement Plan II (“SERP II”) covering its

executive officers.

The defined benefit plan was amended in December 2019 to remove plan eligibility

for new associates hired after

December 31, 2019.

The SERP II was adopted by the Company’s

Board on May 21, 2020 and covers certain executive officers that

were not covered by the SERP.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lending Commitments

.

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance

sheet risks in the normal course of business

to meet the financing needs of its clients.

These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby

letters of

credit.

24

The Company’s maximum exposure

to credit loss under standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit is represented

by

the contractual amount of those instruments.

The Company uses the same credit policies in establishing commitments

and issuing

letters of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

The amounts associated with the Company’s

off-balance sheet

obligations were as follows:

(1)

Commitments include unfunded loans, revolving

lines of credit, and off-balance sheet residential

loan commitments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so long as there is no violation of

any condition established in the

contract.

Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination

clauses and may require payment of a fee.

Since

many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon,

the total commitment amounts do not necessarily

represent future cash requirements.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by

the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third

party.

The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved

in extending loan facilities. In

general, management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of

participating in these types of transactions.

However, any

potential losses arising from such transactions are reserved for in the same manner

as management reserves for its other credit

facilities.

For both on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments, the Company

requires collateral to support such instruments when it is

deemed necessary.

The Company evaluates each client’s

creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.

The amount of collateral

obtained upon extension of credit is based on management’s

credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Collateral held varies, but may

include deposits held in financial institutions; U.S. Treasury

securities; other marketable securities; real estate; accounts receivable;

property, plant and

equipment; and inventory.

The allowance for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit commitments

that are not unconditionally cancellable by the bank is

adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense and is recorded in other liabilities.

The following table shows the activity in the

allowance.

Other Commitments.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into

lease commitments which are classified as operating

leases. See Note 6 – Leases for additional information on the maturity of the

Company’s operating lease commitments.

Furthermore,

the Company has an outstanding commitment of up to $

1.0

million in a bank tech venture capital fund focused on finding and funding

technology solutions for community banks and a commitment of up to $

7.0

million in a solar tax credit equity fund.

At March 31,

2023, the Company had contributed $

0.3

million of the bank tech commitment and $

2.8

million of the solar fund commitment.

At

December 31, 2022, the Company had contributed $

0.2

million of the bank tech commitment and $

1.0

commitment.

Contingencies

.

The Company is a party to lawsuits and claims arising out of the normal course of business.

In management's opinion,

there are

no

known pending claims or litigation, the outcome of which would, individually or

in the aggregate, have a material effect

on the consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows

of the Company.

25

Indemnification Obligation

.

The Company is a member of the Visa U.S.A. network.

Visa U.S.A member banks are

required to

indemnify the Visa U.S.A.

network for potential future settlement of certain litigation (the “Covered Litigation”)

that relates to several

antitrust lawsuits challenging the practices of Visa

and MasterCard International.

In 2008, the Company, as a member

of the Visa

U.S.A. network, obtained Class B shares of Visa,

Inc. upon its initial public offering.

Since its initial public offering, Visa,

Inc. has

funded a litigation reserve for the Covered Litigation resulting in a reduction

in the Class B shares held by the Company.

During the

first quarter of 2011, the Company sold its remaining

Class B shares.

Associated with this sale, the Company entered into a swap

contract with the purchaser of the shares that requires a payment to the

counterparty in the event that Visa,

Inc. makes subsequent

revisions to the conversion ratio for its Class B shares.

Conversion ratio payments and ongoing fixed quarterly charges

are reflected in

earnings in the period incurred.

Fixed charges included in the swap liability are payable quarterly

until the litigation reserve is fully

liquidated and at which time the aforementioned swap contract will be terminated.

Quarterly fixed payments approximate $

0.3

million.

NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE

MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid

to transfer that liability in an orderly

transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in

the absence of a principal market) for such asset or

liability.

In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with

the market approach, the income

approach and/or the cost approach.

Such valuation techniques are consistently applied.

Inputs to valuation techniques include the

assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

ASC Topic 820

establishes a fair value hierarchy for

valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets

for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest

priority to unobservable inputs.

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs -

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting

entity has the

ability to access at the measurement date

.

Level 2 Inputs -

Inputs other than quoted prices

included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,

either directly

or indirectly. These might

include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices

for identical

or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other

than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or

liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

or inputs that are derived principally from, or

corroborated, by market data by correlation or other means

.

Level 3 Inputs -

Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect

an entity’s own

assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would

use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

on a Recurring Basis

Securities Available for Sale.

U.S. Treasury securities are reported at fair value

utilizing Level 1 inputs.

Other securities classified as

available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs.

For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements

from an independent pricing service.

The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes,

market

spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve,

live trading levels, trade execution data, credit information and the bond’s

terms

and conditions, among other things.

In general, the Company does not purchase securities that have a complicated

structure.

The Company’s entire portfolio consists of

traditional investments, nearly all of which are U.S. Treasury

obligations, federal agency bullet or mortgage pass-through

securities, or

general obligation or revenue-based municipal bonds.

Pricing for such instruments is easily obtained.

At least annually, the Company

will validate prices supplied by the independent pricing service by compari

ng them to prices obtained from an independent third-party

source.

Loans Held for Sale

.

The fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale based on Level 2 inputs is determined,

when possible,

using either quoted secondary-market prices or investor commitments.

If no such quoted price exists, the fair value is determined

using quoted prices for a similar asset or assets, adjusted for the specific attributes of

that loan, which would be used by other market

participants.

The Company has elected the fair value option accounting for its held for sale loans.

Mortgage Banking Derivative Instruments.

The fair values of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are derived by valuation

models incorporating market pricing for instruments with similar characteristics,

commonly referred to as best execution pricing, or

investor commitment prices for best effort IRLCs which have

unobservable inputs, such as an estimate of the fair value of the

servicing rights expected to be recorded upon sale of the loans, net estimated costs to originate

the loans, and the pull-through rate,

and are therefore classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of forward sale commitments is based on

observable market pricing for similar instruments and are therefore

classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

26

Interest Rate Swap.

The Company’s derivative positions

are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and are valued using

models generally accepted in the financial services industry and that

use actively quoted or observable market input values from

external market data providers.

The fair value derivatives are determined using discounted cash flow

models.

Fair Value

Swap

.

The Company entered into a stand-alone derivative contract with the purchaser of

its Visa Class B shares.

The

valuation represents the amount due and payable to the counterparty based upon

the revised share conversion rate, if any,

during the

period. At March 31, 2023, there were

no

amounts payable and at December 31, 2022, there was a $

0.1

million payable.

Mortgage Banking Activities

.

The Company had Level 3 issuances and transfers related to mortgage

banking activities of $

4.3

million

and $

6.7

million, respectively, for the three

months ended March 31, 2023, and $

4.3

million and $

13.6

million, respectively, for the

three months ended March 31, 2022.

Issuances are valued based on the change in fair value of the underlying mortgage

loan from

inception of the IRLC to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition

date, adjusted for pull-through rates and costs to originate.

IRLCs transferred out of Level 3 represent IRLCs that were funded and moved

to mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value.

Assets Measured at Fair Value

on a Non-Recurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis (i.e., the

assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis

but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances).

An example would be assets exhibiting evidence of impairment.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured

on a non-recurring basis.

27

Collateral Dependent Loans

.

Impairment for collateral dependent loans is measured using the fair

value of the collateral less selling

costs.

The fair value of collateral is determined by an independent valuation

or professional appraisal in conformance with banking

regulations.

Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs due to the volatility in the real estate market,

and the judgment and

estimation involved in the real estate appraisal process.

Collateral dependent loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly

basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Valuation

techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in prior

periods.

Collateral-dependent loans had a carrying value of $

2.4

million with

no

valuation allowance at March 31, 2023 and a

carrying value of $

0.7

million and a $

0.1

million valuation allowance at December 31, 2022.

Other Real Estate Owned

.

During the first three months of 2023, certain foreclosed assets, upon initial recognition,

were measured

and reported at fair value through a charge-off

to the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of the foreclosed asset less

estimated cost to sell.

The fair value of the foreclosed asset is determined by an independent valuation or

professional appraisal in

conformance with banking regulations.

On an ongoing basis, we obtain updated appraisals on foreclosed assets and realize valuation

adjustments as necessary.

The fair value of foreclosed assets is estimated using Level 3 inputs due to the judgment

and estimation

involved in the real estate valuation process.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

.

Residential mortgage loan servicing rights are evaluated for impairment

at each reporting period based

upon the fair value of the rights as compared to the carrying amount.

Fair value is determined by a third party valuation model using

estimated prepayment speeds of the underlying mortgage loans serviced and

stratifications based on the risk characteristics of the

underlying loans (predominantly loan type and note interest rate).

The fair value is estimated using Level 3 inputs, including a

discount rate, weighted average prepayment speed, and the cost of loan

servicing.

Further detail on the key inputs utilized are

provided in Note 4 – Mortgage Banking Activities.

At each of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was

no

valuation

allowance for loan servicing rights.

Assets and Liabilities Disclosed at Fair Value

The Company is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments,

both assets and liabilities, for which it is

practical to estimate fair value and the following is a description of valuation

methodologies used for those assets and liabilities.

Cash and Short-Term

Investments.

The carrying amount of cash and short-term investments is used to approximate

fair value, given

the short time frame to maturity and as such assets do not present unanticipated

credit concerns.

Securities Held to Maturity

.

Securities held to maturity are valued in accordance with the methodology previously

noted in the

caption “Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

on a Recurring Basis – Securities Available

for Sale.”

Loans.

The loan portfolio is segregated into categories and the fair value of each loan category is calculated

using present value

techniques based upon projected cash flows and estimated discount

rates.

Pursuant to the adoption of ASU 2016-01,

Recognition and

Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial

Liabilities

, the values reported reflect the incorporation of a liquidity discount to meet

the objective of “exit price” valuation.

Deposits.

The fair value of Noninterest Bearing Deposits, NOW Accounts, Money Market

Accounts and Savings Accounts are the

amounts payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity

certificates of deposit is estimated using present

value techniques and rates currently offered for deposits of

similar remaining maturities.

Subordinated Notes Payable.

The fair value of each note is calculated using present value techniques,

based upon projected cash

flows and estimated discount rates as well as rates being offered

for similar obligations.

Short-Term

and Long-Term

Borrowings.

The fair value of each note is calculated using present value techniques,

based upon

projected cash flows and estimated discount rates as well as rates being offered

for similar debt.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS

OF

OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion

and analysis (“MD&A”) provides supplemental information, which sets forth

the major factors that have

affected our financial condition and results of operations

and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial

Statements and related notes.

The following information should provide a better understanding of

the major factors and trends that

affect our earnings performance and financial condition,

and how our performance during 2023 compares with prior years.

Throughout this section, Capital City Bank Group, Inc., and subsidiaries, collectively,

is referred to as “CCBG,” “Company,”

“we,”

“us,” or “our.”

CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD

-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this MD&A section, contains

“forward-looking statements”

within the meaning of the

Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about

our

beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, estimates and intentions that are

subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are

subject to change based on various factors, many of which are beyond

our control.

The words “may,”

“could,” “should,” “would,”

“believe,” “anticipate,”

“estimate,” “expect,”

“intend,” “plan,”

“target,”

“vision,” “goal,”

and similar expressions are intended to

identify forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties.

Our actual future results may differ materially

from those set forth in our forward-looking statements.

Please see the Introductory Note of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q

as well

as the Introductory Note and

Item 1A. Risk Factors

of our 2022 Report on Form 10-K, as updated in our subsequent quarterly reports

filed on Form 10-Q, and in our other filings made from time to time with the SEC after

the date of this report.

However, other factors besides those listed in our

Quarterly Report or in our Annual Report also could adversely affect our

results,

and you should not consider any such list of factors to be a complete set of all potential risks or

uncertainties.

Any forward-looking

statements made by us or on our behalf speak only as of the date they are made.

We do not undertake to

update any forward-looking

statement, except as required by applicable law.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We are a financial

holding company headquartered in Tallahassee,

Florida, and we are the parent of our wholly owned subsidiary,

Capital City Bank (the “Bank” or “CCB”).

We offer

a broad array of products and services through a total of 60 full-service offices

located in Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.

We provide a full range of

banking services, including traditional deposit and credit

services, mortgage banking, asset management, trust, merchant services, bankcards,

securities brokerage services and financial

advisory services, including life insurance products,

risk management and asset protection services.

Our profitability, like

most financial institutions, is dependent to a large extent upon net

interest income, which is the difference

between the interest and fees received on interest earning assets, such as loans and

securities, and the interest paid on interest-bearing

liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings.

Results of operations are also affected by the provision for credit losses, operating

expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and

other operating expenses including income taxes, and noninterest

income such as mortgage banking revenues, wealth management fees,

deposit fees, and bank card fees.

We have included

a detailed discussion of the economic conditions in our markets and our long-term strategic

objectives as part of the

MD&A section of our 2022 Form 10-K.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

We present a tangible

common equity ratio and a tangible book value per diluted share that, in each case, removes the

effect of

goodwill and other intangibles that resulted from merger

and acquisition activity. We

believe these measures are useful to investors

because it allows investors to more easily compare our capital adequacy to

other companies in the industry.

The generally accepted

accounting principles (“GAAP”) to non-GAAP reconciliation for

each quarter presented is provided below.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

Results of Operations

Performance Summary

.

Net income attributable to common shareowners of $15.0 million, or $0.88 per

diluted share, for the first

quarter of 2023 compared to $11.7 million,

or $0.68 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022, and $8.5 million,

or $0.50

per

diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022.

Net Interest Income

.

Tax-equivalent net

interest income for the first quarter of 2023

totaled $40.5 million, compared to $38.2 million

for the fourth quarter of 2022, and $24.8 million for the first quarter of

2022.

Compared to both prior periods, the increase reflected

strong loan growth and higher interest rates across a majority of our

earning assets, partially offset by higher deposit costs.

Provision and Allowance for Credit

Losses.

We recorded

a provision for credit losses of $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2023

compared to $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and no provision

for the first quarter of 2022.

Compared to the fourth quarter

of 2022, the decrease reflected a lower level of loan growth.

The lack of provision for the first quarter of 2022 reflected lower

required reserves needed post-pandemic.

Noninterest Income

.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $22.2 million, an increase

of $1.2 million, or 6.1%, over

the fourth quarter of 2022 and a decrease of $3.6 million, or 13.8%, from

the first quarter of 2022.

The increase over the fourth

quarter of 2022 was primarily due to higher mortgage banking revenues

(higher rate locks and gain on sale margin) partially offset

by

lower deposit fees (two less processing days).

The decrease from the first quarter 2022 was driven by lower wealth management fees

due to lower insurance commissions - the first quarter of 2022 was higher

than normal due to closing of several large insurance

policies.

Lower mortgage revenues (lower rate locks and gain on sale margin)

also contributed to the decrease, but was partially offset

by an increase in other income (loan servicing fees).

Noninterest Expense

.

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $40.5 million compared to $42.3

million for the fourth

quarter of 2022 and $39.2 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, the $1.8 million decrease was

primarily attributable to a $2.4 million decrease in other expense due

to a decrease in other real estate expense of $1.6 million due to a

gain from the sale of a banking office.

Further, pension expense (non-service-related

component) for the first quarter of 2023 totaled

$0.2 million compared to $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 which included

a $1.8 million pension settlement charge.

Compared to the first quarter of 2022, the $1.3 million increase reflected increases in

compensation expense of $0.8 million and

occupancy expense of $0.7 million that were partially off by a decrease

in other expense of $0.2 million.

The addition of banking

offices and staffing in new markets drove the variance

in salary and occupancy expenses.

Further, compensation expense reflected

a

$0.7 million decrease in pension service cost that was partially offset

by an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $0.4

million.

Financial Condition

Earning Assets.

Average earning assets totaled

$4.063 billion for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $30.0 million,

or 0.7%, over

the fourth quarter of 2022, and an increase of $123.9 million, or 3.1%, over the

first quarter of 2022.

The increase over both prior

periods was primarily driven by higher deposit balances.

The mix of earning assets continues to improve driven by strong loan

growth.

Loans.

Average loans held for investment

(“HFI”) increased $143.0 million, or 5.9%, over the fourth quarter of 202

2

and increased

$618.8 million, or 31.5%, over the first quarter of 2022.

Period end loans increased $111.7

million, or 4.4%, over the fourth quarter of

2022 and $651.4 million, or 32.8%, over the first quarter of 2022.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, a majority of the increase

was realized in the residential real estate category,

and to a lesser extent, the construction and commercial real estate mortgage

categories.

Compared to the first quarter of 2022, loan growth was broad based, with increases realized in

all categories except

consumer loans.

The slowdown in the secondary market residential loan sales has allowed us to book

a steady flow of CCHL’s

adjustable-rate production in our loan portfolio throughout 2022

and the first quarter of 2023.

Credit Quality

.

Overall credit quality remains stable.

Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $4.6

million at March 31, 2023 compared to $2.7 million at December 31, 2022, and

$2.7 million at March 31, 2022.

At March 31, 2023,

nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets totaled 0.10% compared

to 0.06% at December 31, 2022 and 0.06% at March 31,

2022.

Nonaccrual loans totaled $4.6 million at March 31, 2023, a $2.3 million increase

over December 31, 2022, and a $1.9 million

increase over March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023, the increase was primarily

due to the addition of one large business loan

relationship totaling $1.8 million to nonaccrual status – it is in the process of

collection and is adequately secured and reserved for.

34

Deposits

.

Average total

deposits were $3.817 billion for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $14.3 million,

or 0.4%, over the

fourth quarter of 2022 and $103.3 million, or 2.8%, over the first quarter

of 2022.

Growth over

the fourth quarter of 2022 was

primarily attributable to an increase in NOW account balances, primarily

due to a seasonal increase in our public fund deposits that

occurred late in the fourth quarter.

Compared to the first quarter of 2022, we had strong growth in our NOW accounts

and, to a lesser

extent, our savings account balances.

Capital

.

At March 31, 2023, we were well-capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio

of 15.53% and a tangible common equity

ratio (a non-GAAP financial measure) of 7.37% compared to 15.52%

and 6.79%, respectively at December 31, 2022 and 16.98% and

6.61%, respectively, at March

31, 2022.

At March 31, 2023, all of our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the threshold to be well-

capitalized under the Basel III capital standards.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents our single largest source of earnings

and is equal to interest income and fees generated by earning

assets less interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities.

This information is provided on a “taxable equivalent”

basis to reflect

the tax-exempt status of income earned on certain loans and state and local

government debt obligations.

We provide an analysis of

our net interest income including average yields and rates in Table

I on page 44.

Tax-equivalent net

interest income for the first quarter of 2023

totaled $40.5 million, compared to $38.2 million for the fourth quarter

of 2022, and $24.8 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Compared to both prior periods, the increase reflected strong loan growth and

higher rates across a majority of our earning assets, partially offset

by higher deposit costs.

Our net interest margin for the first quarter of 2023 was 4.04%, an increase

of 28 basis points over the fourth quarter of 2022 and 149

basis points over the first quarter of 2022, both driven by higher interest rates and

an overall improved earning asset mix.

For the

month of March 2023, our net interest margin was 4.07%.

For the first quarter of 2023, our cost of funds was 35 basis points, an

increase of four basis points over the fourth quarter of 2022 and 27 basis points

over the first quarter of 2022.

Our cost of interest-

bearing deposits was 46 basis points, 35 basis points, and 4 basis points, respectively,

for the same periods.

Our total cost

of deposits

(including noninterest bearing accounts) was 26 basis points, 20 basis points,

and 2 basis points, respectively,

for the same periods.

35

Provision for Credit Losses

We recorded

a provision for credit losses of $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $3.5 million for

the fourth quarter of

2022 and no provision for the first quarter of 2022.

The decrease in the provision compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 was

primarily attributable to a lower level of loan growth.

The credit loss provision for the first quarter of 2022 generally reflected

lower

required reserves needed post-pandemic.

We discuss the allowance

for credit losses further below.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $22.2 million compared

to $21.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and

$25.8 million for the first quarter of 2022.

The $1.2 million increase over the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily attributable

to

higher mortgage banking revenues at CCHL of $1.5 million partially offset

by lower deposit fees $0.3 million.

The increase in

mortgage banking revenues reflected a higher level of rate locks and

gain on sale margin.

The decrease in deposit fees was partially

attributable to two less processing days in the first quarter.

Compared to the first quarter of 2022, the $3.6 million decrease reflected

lower wealth management fees of $2.1 million and mortgage banking revenues

of $1.9 million, partially offset by higher other income

of $0.5 million.

The decrease in wealth management fees was due to lower insurance commission revenues

which reflected higher

than normal revenues in the first quarter of 2022 related to the closing of several large

insurance policies.

The decline in mortgage

banking revenues was attributable to a lower level of rate locks and gain on sale margin.

The increase in other income was primarily

due to higher loan servicing income and miscellaneous income.

Noninterest income represented 35.52% of operating revenues (net interest

income plus noninterest income) for the first quarter of

2023 compared to 35.50% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 51.11%

for the first quarter of 2022.

The table below reflects the major components of noninterest income.

Significant components of noninterest income are discussed in more

detail below.

Deposit Fees

.

Deposit fees for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $5.2 million, a decrease of $0.3

million, or 5.4%, from the fourth

quarter of 2022 and comparable to the first quarter of 2022.

The decline from the fourth quarter of 2022 reflected two less days of

processing.

Bank Card Fees

.

Bank card fees for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $3.7 million, comparable to the

fourth quarter of 2022 and a

decrease of $0.1 million, or 1.0%, from the first quarter of 2022.

The decline from the first quarter of 2022 was primarily attributable

to lower debit card usage and reflected lower consumer spending.

Wealth

Management Fees

.

Wealth management fees,

which include both trust fees (i.e., managed accounts and trusts/estates), retail

brokerage fees (i.e., investment,

insurance products, and retirement accounts), and insurance commission

revenues,

totaled $3.9

million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $0.3 million, or 7.7%, over the

fourth quarter of 2022 and a decrease of $2.1

million, or 35.3%, from the first quarter of 2022.

The increase over the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily attributable to higher

retail brokerage fees.

The decrease from the first quarter of 2022 was due to lower insurance commission

revenues which reflected

higher than normal revenues in the first quarter of 2022 related to the closing of

several large insurance policies.

At March 31, 2023,

total assets under management were approximately $2.330 billion

compared to $2.273 billion at December 31, 2022 and $2.329

billion at March 31, 2022.

Mortgage Banking Revenues

.

Mortgage banking revenues totaled $7.0 million for the first quarter of

2023, an increase of $1.5

million, or 27.3%, over the fourth quarter of 2022 and a decrease of $1.9

million, or 21.8% from the first quarter of 2022.

Compared

to the fourth quarter of 2022, the increase reflected a higher level of rate locks and

gain on sale margin.

The decrease from the first

quarter of 2022 was attributable to lower rate lock volume and gain on sale margin.

We provide a detailed

overview of our mortgage

banking operation, including a detailed break-down of mortgage banking

revenues, mortgage servicing activity,

and warehouse

funding within Note 4 - Mortgage Banking Activities in the Notes to Consolidated

Financial Statements.

36

Other

.

Other income totaled $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $0.2

million, or 7.3%, from the fourth quarter of

2022 and an increase of $0.5 million, or 27.7%, over the first quarter of 2022.

Compared to the first quarter of 2022, the increase was

primarily attributable to higher loan servicing income and miscellaneous income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $40.5 million compared

to $42.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and

$39.2 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, the $1.8 million decrease reflected

a decrease in

other expense of $2.4 million that was partially offset by an increase

in occupancy expense of $0.5 million and compensation expense

of $0.1 million.

The decrease in other expense was primarily attributable to lower other real estate expense

of $1.6 million due to a

gain on the sale of a banking office.

Compared to the first quarter of 2022, the $1.3 million increase reflected an increase of $0.8

million in compensation expense and $0.7 million in occupancy expense that were

partially off by a decrease of $0.2 million in other

expense.

The addition of three banking offices and staffing in new markets

drove the variance in compensation and occupancy

expenses.

The table below reflects the major components of noninterest expense.

Significant components of noninterest expense are discussed in

more detail below.

Compensation

.

Compensation expense totaled $25.6 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase

of $0.1 million, or 0.3%, over

the fourth quarter of 2022 and an increase of $0.8 million, or 3.1%, over

the first quarter of 2022.

Compared to the fourth quarter of

2022, the $0.1 million increase in compensation expense reflected an increase

in salary expense of $0.5 million that was partially

offset by a decrease in associate benefits expense of $0.4

million.

The increase in salary expense was primarily attributable to an

increase in payroll tax expense which reflected the annual re-set of this tax as well as payroll

taxes related to a high level of cash/stock

incentives paid in the first quarter.

The decrease in associate benefit expense reflected a decrease of $0.7 million

in pension service

cost that was partially offset by increases in stock compensation (higher

expected pay-out for long-term incentive plan), associate

insurance, and other associate benefit expense (annual sales/service awards event).

Compared to the first quarter of 2022, the increase

reflected higher salary expense of $1.0 million partially offset

by lower associate benefit expense of $0.2

million.

The increase in

salary expense was due to the addition of banking offices

and staffing in new markets.

The decrease in associate benefit expense was

primarily due to a decrease in pension service cost of $0.7 million that was partially

offset by an increase in stock-based compensation

expense of $0.4 million.

37

Occupancy.

Occupancy expense (including premises and equipment) totaled $6.8

million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of

$0.5

million, or 8.1% over the fourth quarter of 2022 and an increase of $0.7 million,

or 11.0%, over the first quarter of 2022.

The

increase over both prior periods was primarily attributable

to the three recently opened full-service offices and the re-location of one

office.

Other

.

Other noninterest expense totaled $8.1 million for the first quarter of

2023, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 23.0%, from the

fourth quarter of 2022 and a decrease of $0.2 million, or 2.7%, from

the first quarter of 2022.

The decrease from the fourth quarter of

2022

was primarily attributable a decrease in other real estate expense of $1.6 million due to a gain

from the sale of a banking office

and lower pension settlement expense of $1.8 million, partially offset

by higher pension expense (non-service-related component) of

$0.8 million.

Compared to the first quarter of 2022, the decrease was primarily driven by lower other real

estate expense of $1.8

million due to a gain in other real estate from the sale of a banking office

that was partially offset by higher pension expense (non-

service-related component) of $0.8

million and higher FDIC assessments of $0.3 million.

Our operating efficiency ratio (expressed as noninterest

expense as a percent of the sum of taxable-equivalent net interest income plus

noninterest income) was 64.48% for the first quarter of 2023 compared

to 71.47% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 77.55% for the

first quarter of 2022.

The improvement over both prior periods reflected higher net interest income.

Income Taxes

We realized income

tax expense of $4.1 million (effective rate of 21.7%) for the first quarter of

2023 compared to $2.6 million

(effective rate of 19.6%) for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $2.2

million (effective rate of 19.8%) for the first quarter of 2022.

A

discrete tax item of $0.4 million related our SERP plan favorably impacted

the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Absent discrete items, we expect our annual effective tax rate to approximate

21%-22% in 2023.

The increase in the effective tax rate

for 2023 reflects a lower level of pre-tax income from CCHL in relation

to our consolidated income as the non-controlling interest

adjustment for CCHL is accounted for as a permanent tax adjustment.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Average earning

assets totaled $4.063 billion for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $30.0 million, or 0.7%, over

the fourth

quarter of 2022, and an increase of $123.9 million, or 3.1%, over

the first quarter of 2022.

The increase over both prior periods was

primarily driven by higher deposit balances (see below –

Deposits

).

The mix of earning assets continues to improve driven by strong

loan growth.

Investment Securities

Average investment

s

decreased $16.9 million, or 1.6%, from the fourth quarter of 2022 and increased

$5.1 million, or 0.5%, over the

first quarter of 2022.

Our investment portfolio represented 26.2% of our average earning assets for the

first quarter of 2023 compared

to 26.8% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 26.9% for the first quarter of 2022.

For the remainder of 2023, we will continue to

monitor our overall liquidity position and allow cash flow from the

investment portfolio to run-off to overnight funds.

The investment portfolio is a significant component of our operations and, as such,

it functions as a key element of liquidity and

asset/liability management.

Two types of classifications are approved

for investment securities which are Available

-for-Sale (“AFS”)

and Held-to-Maturity (“HTM”).

At March 31, 2023, $402.9 million, or 38.1%, of our investment portfolio

was classified as AFS,

and $651.8 million, or 61.8%, classified as HTM.

The average maturity of our total portfolio at March 31, 2023

was 3.34 years

compared to 3.57 years at December 31, 2022 and 3.63 years at March

31, 2022.

The duration of our investment portfolio at March

31, 2023 was 2.99 years.

In the third quarter of 2022, to mitigate risk to accumulated other comprehensive income due

to higher

interest rates, we reclassified 33 U.S. Treasury obligations

totaling $168.4 million with unrealized losses of $9.4 million from AFS to

HTM.

At March 31, 2023, $7.1 million was remaining in unrealized losses relating to

these securities.

We determine

the classification of a security at the time of acquisition based on how the purchase will affect

our asset/liability strategy

and future business plans and opportunities.

We consider multiple

factors in determining classification, including regulatory capital

requirements, volatility in earnings or other comprehensive income,

and liquidity needs.

Securities in the AFS portfolio are recorded

at fair value with unrealized gains and losses associated with these securities recorded

net of tax, in the accumulated other

comprehensive income component of shareowners’ equity.

HTM securities are acquired or owned with the intent of holding

them to

maturity.

HTM investments are measured at amortized cost.

We do not

trade, nor do we presently intend to begin trading investment

securities for the purpose of recognizing gains and therefore we do not maintain

a trading portfolio.

38

At March 31, 2023, there were 896 positions (combined AFS and HTM) with

pre-tax unrealized losses totaling $74.8 million (see

Note 2 – Investment Securities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for

detail by category).

87 of these positions are

U.S. Treasury bonds and carry the full faith and credit of

the U.S. Government.

684 are U.S. government agency securities issued by

U.S. government sponsored entities.

We believe the

long history of no credit losses on government securities indicates that

the

expectation of nonpayment of the amortized cost basis is effectively

zero.

The remaining 125 positions (Municipal securities and

corporate bonds) have a credit component.

At March 31, 2023, corporate debt securities had an allowance for credit losses of

$28,000

and municipal securities had an allowance of $8,000.

At March 31, 2023, all CMO, MBS, SBA, U.S. Agency,

and U.S. Treasury

bonds held were AAA rated.

Loans HFI

Average loans

held for investment (“HFI”) increased $143.0 million, or 5.9%, over the fourth quarter of 2022

and $618.8 million, or

31.5%, over the first quarter of 2022.

Period end loans increased $111.7

million, or 4.4%, over the fourth quarter of 2022 and $651.4

million, or 32.8%, over the first quarter of 2022.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, a majority of the increase was realized in

the

residential real estate category,

and to a lesser extent, the construction and commercial real estate mortgage

categories.

Compared to

the first quarter of 2022, loan growth was broad based, with increases realized in all categories

except consumer loans.

Without compromising our credit standards

,

changing our underwriting standards, or taking on inordinate interest rate risk,

we

continue to closely monitor our markets and make minor adjustments as necessary.

Credit Quality

Overall credit quality remains stable.

Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $4.6

million at March 31,

2023 compared to $2.7 million at December 31, 2022 and $2.7 million

at March 31, 2022.

At March 31, 2023, the increase was

primarily due to the addition of one large business loan relationship

totaling $1.8 million to nonaccrual status is in the process of

collection and is adequately secured and reserved for.

At March 31, 2023, nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets totaled

0.10% compared to 0.06% at December 31, 2022 and 0.06% at March 31, 202

2.

Nonaccrual loans totaled $4.6 million at March 31,

2023, a $2.3 million increase over December 31, 2022 and a $1.9 million increase

over March 31, 2022.

Further, classified loans

totaled $12.2 million at March 31, 2023, a $7.2 million decrease from December

31, 2022 and a $10.2 million decrease from March

31, 2022.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the

loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount

expected to be collected on the loans.

The allowance for credit losses is adjusted by a credit loss provision which is reported in

earnings, and reduced by the charge-off

of loan amounts (net of recoveries).

Loans are charged off against the allowance when

management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.

Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts

previously charged-off and expected to be charged

-off.

Expected credit loss inherent in non-cancellable off-balance sheet credit

exposures is provided through the credit loss provision, but recorded as a separate

liability included in other liabilities.

Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information,

from internal and external sources relating to past

events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Historical loan default and loss experience provides the basis for

the estimation of expected credit losses.

Adjustments to historical loss information incorporate management’s

view of current

conditions and forecasts.

At March 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses for HFI loans totaled

$26.5 million compared to $24.7 million at December 31,

2022 and $20.8 million at March 31, 2022.

Activity within the allowance is provided in Note 3 to the consolidated financial

statements.

The increase in the allowance over the prior periods was primarily driven by

loan growth.

At March 31, 2023, net charge-

offs totaled $1.5 million, an increase of $0.2 million over

the fourth quarter of 2022, and $0.7 million over the first quarter of 2022.

At March 31, 2023, the allowance represented 1.01% of

HFI loans and provided coverage of 578% of nonperforming loans compared

to 0.98% and 1,077%, respectively,

at December 31, 2022, and 1.05% and 761%, respectively,

at March 31, 2022.

At March 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments

totaled $2.8 million compared to $3.0 million at

December 31, 2022 and $3.0 million at March 31, 2022. The allowance

for unfunded commitments is recorded in other liabilities.

39

Deposits

Average total

deposits were $3.817 billion for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $14.3 million,

or 0.4%, over the fourth quarter

of 2022 and $103.3 million, or 2.8%, over the first quarter of 2022.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, the increase reflected

higher NOW account balances, primarily due to a seasonal increase in our

public fund deposits that occurred late in the fourth quarter.

Compared to the first quarter of 2022, we experienced strong growth in our

NOW accounts, and to a lesser degree, our savings

accounts.

Period end total deposits declined $115.4 million

from the fourth quarter of 2022, and reflected lower balances in

noninterest bearing accounts, NOW accounts, and savings accounts, partially

offset by slight growth in money market accounts and

certificates of deposit

Noninterest bearing accounts decreased $52.2 million from the fourth quarter

of 2022, largely due to the

migration of two commercial clients into interest bearing NOW accounts, in addition

to clients seeking a higher yielding investment

account at Capital City Investments (approximately $30 million,

which is predominantly attributable to clients with higher balances).

Interest bearing deposits decreased $63.2 million from the fourth quarter

of 2022, including a $47.8 million decline in the NOW

account balance that was largely driven by an anticipated seasonal

decline in public fund balances of $66 million, partially offset

by

the previously mentioned migration of two clients from noninterest bearing

accounts.

Savings account balances decreased $20.1

million from the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily attributable to clients

seeking higher yielding investment products outside of the

Bank.

Money market account balances increased $4.5 million over the fourth quarter

of 2022 (also due to some migration from

noninterest bearing accounts), in addition to growth in our new markets which

offered a promotional rate.

We continue

to closely monitor our cost of deposits and deposit mix as we manage through the current

rising rate environment.

MARKET RISK AND INTEREST RATE

SENSITIVITY

Market Risk and Interest Rate Sensitivity

Overview.

Market risk arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates,

commodity prices, and equity prices.

We have risk

management policies designed to monitor and limit exposure to market

risk and we do not participate in activities that give rise to

significant market risk involving exchange rates, commodity prices, or

equity prices.

In asset and liability management activities, our

policies are designed to minimize structural interest rate risk.

Interest Rate Risk Management.

Our net income is largely dependent on net interest income.

Net interest income is susceptible to

interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing

liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than interest-earning

assets.

When

interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly

than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in

market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest

income.

Similarly, when interest-earning

assets mature or reprice more

quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling market interest rates could

result in a decrease in net interest income.

Net interest

income is also affected by changes in the portion of interest-earning

assets that are funded by interest-bearing liabilities rather than by

other sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and shareowners’

equity.

We have established

what we believe to be a comprehensive interest rate risk management policy,

which is administered by

management’s Asset Liability Management

Committee (“ALCO”).

The policy establishes limits of risk, which are quantitative

measures of the percentage change in net interest income (a measure of net

interest income at risk) and the fair value of equity capital

(a measure of economic value of equity (“EVE”) at risk) resulting from a hypothetical change

in interest rates for maturities from one

day to 30 years.

We measure the potential

adverse impacts that changing interest rates may have on our short-term

earnings, long-

term value, and liquidity by employing simulation analysis through the use of

computer modeling.

The simulation model captures

optionality factors such as call features and interest rate caps and floors imbedded

in investment and loan portfolio contracts.

As with

any method of gauging interest rate risk, there are certain shortcomings

inherent in the interest rate modeling methodology used by

us.

When interest rates change, actual movements in different categories

of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, loan

prepayments, and withdrawals of time and other deposits, may deviate significantly

from assumptions used in the model.

Finally, the

methodology does not measure or reflect the impact that higher rates may have

on adjustable-rate loan clients’ ability to service their

debts, or the impact of rate changes on demand for loan and deposit products.

The statement of financial condition is subject to testing for interest rate shock

possibilities to indicate the inherent interest rate risk.

We prepare

a current base case and several alternative interest rate simulations (-400, -300, -200,

-100,+100, +200, +300, and +400

basis points (bp)), at least once per quarter, and

report the analysis to ALCO, our Market Risk Oversight Committee (“MROC”), our

Enterprise Risk Oversight Committee (“EROC”) and the Board of Directors.

The -400bp rate scenario was reintroduced into the

model beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022 due to the higher interest

rate environment. We

augment our interest rate shock analysis

with alternative interest rate scenarios on a quarterly basis that may include ramps,

parallel shifts, and a flattening or steepening of the

yield curve (non-parallel shift).

In addition, more frequent forecasts may be produced when interest rates are

particularly uncertain or

when other business conditions so dictate.

40

Our goal is to structure the statement of financial condition so that net interest earnings at risk over

12-month and 24-month periods

and the economic value of equity at risk do not exceed policy guidelines

at the various interest rate shock levels. We

attempt to

achieve this goal by balancing, within policy limits, the volume of floating-rate

liabilities with a similar volume of floating-rate assets,

by keeping the average

maturity of fixed-rate asset and liability contracts reasonably matched, by managing

the mix of our core

deposits, and by adjusting our rates to market conditions on a continuing

basis.

Analysis.

Measures of net interest income at risk produced by simulation analysis are

indicators of an institution’s short-term

performance in alternative rate environments.

These measures are typically based upon a relatively brief period, and do not

necessarily indicate the long-term prospects or economic value of the institution.

The Net Interest Income (“NII”) at Risk position indicates

that in the short-term, all rising rate environments will positively impact

the

net interest margin of the Company,

while declining rate environments

will have a negative impact on the net interest margin.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, these metrics became less favorable

in the rising rate scenarios primarily due to loan growth,

which reduced our level of overnight funds and made us slightly less asset sensitive.

The converse is applicable in the down rate

scenarios where the metrics became more favorable due to loan growth which

increased asset duration and therefore protection against

falling rates.

The percent change over both a 12-month and 24-month shock are outside of policy

in the rates down 300 bps and 400

bps scenarios

due to our limited ability to lower our deposit rates relative to the decline

in market rate.

The measures of equity value at risk indicate our ongoing economic value

by considering the effects of changes in interest rates on all

of our cash flows by discounting the cash flows to estimate the present value of

assets and liabilities. The difference between these

discounted values of the assets and liabilities is the economic value of equity,

which in theory approximates the fair value of our net

assets.

(1) The down 400 bp rate scenario was added in the fourth quarter of 2022.

At March 31, 2023, the economic value of equity was favorable in

all rising rate environments and unfavorable in the falling rate

environments. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, EVE metrics became

slightly more favorable in all rate environments except

the down 300 environment, primarily due to a change in the shape and position

of the yield curve, along with seasonal outflows of

some rate sensitive funding sources (public funds).

EVE is currently in compliance with policy in all rate scenarios as the EVE ratio

in each rate scenario exceeds 5.0%.

As the interest rate environment and the dynamics of the economy continue to change,

additional simulations will be analyzed to

address not only the changing rate environment, but also the change

in mix of our financial assets and liabilities, measured over

multiple years, to help assess the risk to the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL

RESOURCES

Liquidity

In general terms, liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet our

cash needs.

Our objective in managing our liquidity is to

maintain our ability to meet loan commitments, purchase securities or repay deposits and

other liabilities in accordance with their

terms, without an adverse impact on our current or future earnings.

Our liquidity strategy is guided by policies that are formulated and

monitored by our ALCO and senior management, which take into account

the marketability of assets, the sources and stability of

funding and the level of unfunded commitments.

We regularly evaluate

all of our various funding sources with an emphasis on

accessibility, stability,

reliability and cost-effectiveness.

Our principal source of funding has been our client deposits, supplemented

by our short-term and long-term borrowings, primarily from securities sold under

repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased and

FHLB borrowings.

We believe that the cash

generated from operations, our borrowing capacity and our access to

capital resources are

sufficient to meet our future operating capital and funding requirements.

At March 31, 2023, we had the ability to generate $1.428 billion in additional

liquidity through all of our available resources (this

excludes $303.4 million in overnight funds sold).

In addition to the primary borrowing outlets mentioned above, we also have

the

ability to generate liquidity by borrowing from the Federal Reserve Discount

Window and through brokered deposits.

We recognize

the importance of maintaining liquidity and have developed a Contingent

Liquidity Plan, which addresses various liquidity stress

levels and our response and action based on the level of severity.

We periodically

test our credit facilities for access to the funds, but

also understand that as the severity of the liquidity level increases that certain credit facilities may

no longer be available.

We conduct

a liquidity stress test on a quarterly basis based on events that could potentially

occur at the Bank and report results to ALCO, our

Market Risk Oversight Committee, Risk Oversight Committee,

and the Board of Directors.

At March 31, 2023, we believe the

liquidity available to us was sufficient to meet our on-going needs

and execute our business strategy.

We also view our

investment portfolio as a liquidity source and have the option to pledge securities in our

portfolio as collateral for

borrowings or deposits, and/or to sell selected securities.

Our portfolio consists of debt issued by the U.S. Treasury,

U.S.

governmental agencies, municipal governments, and corporate entities.

At March 31, 2023, the weighted-average life and duration of

our portfolio were 3.34 years and 2.99 years, respectively,

and the available-for-sale portfolio had a net unrealized pre-tax loss of

$35.0 million.

We maintained

an average net overnight funds (interest deposits with banks plus FED funds sold less FED funds

purchased) sold

position of $361.0 million in the first quarter of 2023

compared to $469.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $873.1 million in

the first quarter of 2022.

The declining overnight funds position reflects growth in average loans.

We expect our

capital expenditures will be approximately $8.0 million over the next 12 months, which

will primarily consist of

construction of new offices, office remodeling,

office equipment/furniture, and technology purchases.

Management expects that these

capital expenditures will be funded with existing resources without impairing

our ability to meet our on-going obligations.

Borrowings

Average short

-term borrowings totaled $47.1 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $50.8

million for the fourth quarter of

2022 and $32.4 million for the first quarter of 2022. The variance compared

to both prior periods was primarily attributable to an

increase in short-term repurchase agreements and the fluctuation in CCHL’s

warehouse line.

Additional detail on these borrowings is

provided in Note 4 – Mortgage Banking Activities in the Consolidated

Financial Statements.

We have issued two

junior subordinated deferrable interest notes to our wholly owned

Delaware statutory trusts.

The first note for

$30.9 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust I in

November 2004, of which $10 million was retired in April 2016.

The second

note for $32.0 million was issued to CCBG Capital Trust II

in May 2005.

The interest payment for the CCBG Capital Trust I

borrowing is due quarterly and adjusts quarterly to a variable rate of three-month

LIBOR plus a margin of 1.90%.

This note matures

on December 31, 2034.

The interest payment for the CCBG Capital Trust II borrowing is due

quarterly and adjusts quarterly to a

variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 1.80%.

This note matures on June 15, 2035.

Effective June 30, 2023, in

accordance with the trust agreements

and the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act of 2021, LIBOR will be replaced

with 3-month

CME Term SOFR (secured

overnight financing rate) as the interest rate index.

The proceeds from these borrowings were used to

partially fund acquisitions.

Under the terms of each junior subordinated deferrable interest note,

in the event of default or if we elect

to defer interest on the note, we may not, with certain exceptions, declare or pay dividends or

make distributions on our capital stock

or purchase or acquire any of our capital stock.

42

During the second quarter of 2020, we entered into a derivative cash

flow hedge of our interest rate risk related to our subordinated

debt.

The notional amount of the derivative is $30 million ($10 million of the CCBG Capital Trust

I borrowing and $20 million of the

CCBG Capital Trust II borrowing).

The interest rate swap agreement requires CCBG to pay fixed and receive variable (Libor

plus

spread) and has an average all-in fixed rate of 2.50% for 10 years.

Additional detail on the interest rate swap agreement is provided in

Note 5 – Derivatives in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Capital

Our capital ratios are presented in the Selected Quarterly Financial Data

table on page 32.

At March 31, 2023, our regulatory capital

ratios exceeded the threshold to be designated as “well-capitalized”

under the Basel III capital standards.

Shareowners’ equity was $411.2 million

at March 31, 2023 compared to $394.0 million at December 31, 2022 and $372.1 million

at

March 31, 2022.

For the first three months of 2023, shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net

income attributable to

common shareowners of $15.0 million, a $5.8

million decrease in the unrealized loss on investment securities, the issuance of stock of

$1.8 million, and stock compensation accretion of $0.5 million.

Shareowners’ equity was reduced by common stock dividends of $3.1

million ($0.18 per share), the repurchase of stock of $0.8 million (25,241

shares), net adjustments totaling $1.4

million related to

transactions under our stock compensation plans, and a $0.6 million decrease

in the fair value of the interest rate swap related to

subordinated debt.

At March 31, 2023, our total risk-based capital ratio was 15.53% compared

to 15.52% at December 31, 2022 and 16.98% at March 31,

2022.

Our common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 12.68%, 12.64%, and 13.77%, respectively,

on those dates.

Our leverage ratio was

9.28%, 9.06%, and 8.78%, respectively,

on those dates.

At March 31, 2023, all our regulatory capital ratios exceeded the threshold to

be designated as “well-capitalized” under the Basel III capital standards.

Further, our tangible common equity ratio was 7.37%

at

March 31, 2023 compared to 6.79% and 6.61% at December 31, 2022 and March

31, 2022, respectively.

If our unrealized HTM

securities losses of $29.5 million (after-tax) were recognized in accumulated

other comprehensive loss, our adjusted tangible capital

ratio would be 6.69%.

Our tangible capital ratio is also impacted by the recording of our unfunded pension

liability through other comprehensive income in

accordance with ASC Topic

715.

At March 31, 2023, the net pension liability reflected in other comprehensive loss was $4.5

million

compared to $4.5 million at December 31, 2022 and $13.0 million at March

31, 2022. This liability is re-measured annually on

December 31

st

based on an actuarial calculation of our pension liability.

Significant assumptions used in calculating the liability

include the weighted average discount rate used to measure the present

value of the pension liability, the

weighted average expected

long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, and the assumed rate of annual compensation

increases, all of which will vary when

re-measured.

The discount rate assumption used to calculate the pension liability is subject to long

-term corporate bond rates at

December 31

st

.

These assumptions are sensitivities are discussed in our 2022 Form 10-K “Critical Accounting

Policies”.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We are a party

to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks in the normal

course of business to meet the financing needs of our

clients.

At March 31, 2023, we had $825.8 million in commitments to extend credit

and $5.7 million in standby letters of credit.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client so long as there is no violation of

any condition established in the

contract.

Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination

clauses and may require payment of a fee.

Since

many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon,

the total commitment amounts do not necessarily

represent future cash requirements.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee

the performance

of a client to a third party.

We use the same credit

policies in establishing commitments and issuing letters of credit as we do for on-

balance sheet instruments.

If commitments arising from these financial instruments continue to require

funding at historical levels, management does not

anticipate that such funding will adversely impact our ability to meet our

on-going obligations.

In the event these commitments

require funding in excess of historical levels, management believes current

liquidity, advances available from

the FHLB and the

Federal Reserve, and investment security maturities provide a sufficient

source of funds to meet these commitments.

Certain agreements provide that the commitments are unconditionally

cancellable by the bank and for those agreements no allowance

for credit losses has been recorded.

We have recorded

an allowance for credit losses on loan commitments that are not

unconditionally cancellable by the bank, which is included in other

liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition and

totaled $2.8 million at March 31, 2023.

43

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated

Financial Statements included in our 2022 Form 10-K.

The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements

in accordance with GAAP and reporting practices applicable to the banking

industry requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect

the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses,

and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

We have identified

accounting for (i) the allowance for credit losses, (ii) goodwill,

(iii) pension assumptions, and (iv) income taxes as

our most critical accounting policies and estimates in that they are important

to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and

they require our subjective and complex judgment as a result of the need to make estimates about

the effects of matters that are

inherently uncertain.

These accounting policies, including the nature of the estimates and types of

assumptions used, are described

throughout this Item 2, Management’s

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and

Part II, Item 7,

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included

in our 2022 Form 10-K.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

At March 31, 2023, the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, our

management, including our Chief Executive Officer and

Chief Financial Officer,

evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures

(as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the

that, as of the end of the period covered by this report these disclosure controls and procedures

were effective.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer

our internal control over financial

reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange

Act of 1934).

During the quarter ended on March 31, 2023,

there have been no significant changes in our internal control over

financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal

quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to

materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
