FULL YEAR 2023 HIGHLIGHTS

Income Statement

Tax-equivalent

net interest income totaled $159.4 million

for 2023 compared to $125.3 million for 2022 driven

by strong loan

growth and higher interest

rates, partially offset by higher deposit cost which was well controlled

at 48 basis points for the year

– net interest margin

was 4.05% for 2023 compared to 3.14% for 2022

Credit quality metrics remained

strong throughout

the year – allowance coverage ratio increased from

0.98% to 1.10% - net

loan charge-offs were 18

basis points of average loans for both periods

Noninterest income decreased

$3.6 million, or 4.8%, driven by lower wealth management fees reflective

of lower insurance

commissions (large policy sales in 2022) and

mortgage banking revenues (lower residential

loan originations attributable to the

higher interest rate environment

)

Noninterest expense increased

$5.4 million, or 3.6%, primarily due to higher compensation and occupancy

expense reflective of

the addition of staffing and banking offices in our new markets

Balance Sheet

Loan balances grew $467.0 million, or 21.3%

(average), and $186.2 million, or 7.3% (end of period)

Deposit balances (including repurchase

2.2% (average), and decreased $217.1

million, or 5.5% (end of period)

or 18.4%, driven by strong earnings and favorable investment

security and

“I am pleased with Capital City’s performance

this year and am very proud of our team for achieving another year of record

earnings,” said William G. Smith, Jr.,

Chairman, President, and CEO of Capital City Bank Group, Inc. “Amid a challenging

year for

our industry, our deposit

franchise, disciplined credit, diversified revenues, and conservative balance

sheet management resulted in

strong profitability and capital growth.

We are well positioned

as we enter 2024 and remain focused on strategies that add long-term

value for our clients and shareowners.”

Discussion of Operating Results

Net Interest Income/Net Interest

Margin

Tax-equivalent net

interest income for the fourth quarter of 2023 totaled $39.3 million, compared

to $39.4 million for the third

quarter of 2023, and $38.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

For the full year of 2023, tax-equivalent net interest income totaled

$159.4 million compared to $125.3 million for the same period of 2022.

Compared to the third quarter of 2023, the decrease

reflected higher deposit interest expense and a lower level of interest income

from overnight funds, partially offset by higher loan

interest due to loan growth and loan re-pricing at higher interest rates.

Compared to the full year 2022, the increase reflected loan

growth and higher interest rates across a majority of our earning assets, partially

offset by higher deposit interest expense.

Our net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 4.07%,

an increase of four basis points over the third quarter of 2023 and

an increase of 31 basis points over the fourth quarter of 2022.

For the month of December 2023, our net interest margin was 4.09%.

For 2023, our net interest margin was 4.05%, an increase of 91 basis points

over 2022.

The increase compared to all prior periods

reflected a combination of earning assets re-pricing at higher interest

rates and loan growth, partially offset by a higher cost of

deposits.

For the fourth quarter of 2023, our cost of funds was 73 basis points, an increase of 7 basis points

over the third quarter of

2023 and an increase of 42 basis points over the fourth quarter of 2022.

Our total cost of deposits (including noninterest bearing

accounts) was 66 basis points, 58 basis points, and 20 basis points, respectively,

for the same periods.

Provision for Credit Losses

We recorded

a provision for credit losses of $2.0

million for the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $2.4

million for the third

quarter of 2023 and $3.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

The decrease in the provision compared to the third quarter of 2023

was primarily attributable to a lower level of reserves required for unfunded commitments

.

For the full year of 2023, we recorded a

provision for credit losses of $9.7 million compared to $7.5 million for 2022.

The higher level of provision in 2023 was primarily

driven by loan growth and also reflected the favorable impact in 2022 of the

release of reserves held for pandemic related losses.

We discuss the allowance

for credit losses further below.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest

Expense

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2023 totaled $17.1 million

compared to $16.7 million for the third quarter of 2023 and

$15.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

The $0.4 million increase over the third quarter of 2023 reflected an increase in

mortgage banking revenues of $0.5 million and wealth management

fees of $0.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in deposit

fees of $0.2 million and other income of $0.2 million.

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, the $1.9 million increase was

attributable to a $2.2 million increase in mortgage banking revenues

and a $0.6 million increase in wealth management fees

partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in other income

and a $0.2 million decrease in deposit fees.

For the full year of 2023, noninterest income totaled $71.6 million compared

to $75.2 million for 2022 and reflected decreases in

wealth management fees of $1.7 million, mortgage banking revenues

of $1.5 million, deposit fees of $0.8 million, and bank card

fees of $0.5 million, partially offset by a $0.9 million

increase in other income.

The decrease in wealth management fees reflected

lower insurance commissions of $2.7 million due to the sale of large

policies in 2022 and was partially offset by higher trust fees of

$0.5 million and retail brokerage fees of $0.5 million.

The decrease in mortgage banking revenues was primarily driven by lower

production volume in 2023, reflective of the rapid increase in interest rates

and lower market driven gain on sale margins.

The

decline in deposit fees reflected lower commercial account analysis fees and account

service charge fees, and the reduction in bank

card fees was generally due to lower card volume reflective of

slower consumer spending.

The increase in other income was

primarily due to a $1.4 million gain from the sale of mortgage servicing rights

that was partially offset by lower loan servicing

income.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2023 totaled $40.0 million

compared to $39.1 million for the third quarter of 2023 and

$39.3

million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

The $0.9 million increase over the third quarter of 2023 was attributable to increases in

compensation expense of $0.8 million and occupancy expense of $0.2 million

that was partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in

other expense.

The increase in compensation expense was due to a $0.8 million increase in salary expense

partially attributable to a

$0.5 million decrease in realized loan cost (recorded as a credit offset

to salary expense) driven by lower residential loan

originations.

For the fourth quarter of 2023, other expense included approximately $0.6 million in professional

and legal fees

related to the financial statement restatement.

3

Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, the $0.7 million increase in noninterest

expense reflected a $0.8 million increase in

compensation expense and a $0.8 million increase in occupancy expense

that was partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in other

expense.

The increases in compensation expense and occupancy expense were generally

driven by the same factors discussed in

further detail below.

The variance in other expense was primarily attributable to lower pension related

costs, including the

recognition of pension settlement expense of $1.7 million in the fourth quarter

of 2022 whereas there was no pension settlement

expense in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to a significantly lower level of

retirements.

A

$0.7 million increase in the non-service

component of pension plan expense was partially offsetting

.

For the full year of 2023, noninterest expense totaled $157.0 million compared

to $151.6 million for 2022 and reflected increases in

occupancy expense of $3.1

million and compensation expense of $2.3 million.

The increase in occupancy expense was primarily

driven by the addition of four new banking offices in mid-to-late 2022 and

early 2023, and to a lesser extent higher expense for

property insurance (increased premiums) and maintenance agreements

(network and security upgrades).

The increase in

compensation expense reflected a $4.7 million increase in salary expense

that was partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in

associate benefit expense.

The increase in salary expense was primarily due to a $3.6 million increase in base salaries (primarily

the

addition of staffing in new markets and annual merit), a $3.0 million

reduction in realized cost (lower new residential loan

originations in 2023) and higher incentive expense of $1.2 million that was partially

offset by lower commission expense of $3.3

million (lower residential loan originations and insurance policy sales in 2023)

.

The decrease in associate benefit expense reflected

a $2.9 million decrease in pension plan service cost expense that was partially offset

by a $0.5 million increase in associate

insurance expense (higher premiums).

The net variance in other expense was primarily due to lower expenses for OREO

of $1.6

million (gain from the sale of a banking office in the first quarter

of 2023), mortgage servicing asset amortization of $1.0 million

(mid-2023 sale of servicing rights),

and pension plan expense (non-service component) of $0.5 million, offset

by higher expenses

for professional fees of $0.8 million and FDIC insurance of $0.6 million.

Further, there was no pension settlement expense in 2023

whereas we realized $2.3 million in total pension settlement expense

in 2022.

Income Taxes

We realized income

tax expense of $2.9 million (effective rate of 20.3%) for the

fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $3.0 million

(effective rate of 20.7%) for the third quarter of 2023

and $1.9 million (effective rate of 18.1%) for the fourth quarter of 2022.

For

the full year of 2023, we realized income tax expense of $13.0 million (effective

rate of 20.4%) compared to $7.8 million (effective

rate of 19.0%) for 2022.

The increase in our effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2023 reflected

a lower level of tax benefit

accrued from an investment in a solar tax credit equity fund.

The increase in our effective tax rate for the full year of 2023 was

attributable to a lower level of pre-tax income from our 51% owned residential

mortgage subsidiary, Capital City Home

Loans

(“CCHL”), in relation to our consolidated income as the non-controlling

interest adjustment for CCHL is accounted for as a

permanent tax adjustment.

Further, we recognized a lower level of tax benefit

accrued from an investment in a solar tax credit

equity fund.

Absent discrete items or new tax credit investments, we expect our annual effective

tax rate to approximate 21-22% for

2024.

Discussion of Financial Condition

Earning Assets

Average earning

assets totaled $3.824 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $53.0

million, or 1.4%, from the third

quarter of 2023, and a decrease of $208.8 million, or 5.2%, from the fourth

quarter of 2022.

The decrease from both prior periods

was attributable to lower deposit balances (see below –

Deposits

).

Compared to both prior periods, the mix of earning assets

improved as overnight funds were utilized to fund loan growth.

Average loans

held for investment (“HFI”) increased $38.6 million, or 1.4%, over the

third quarter of 2023 and $271.9 million, or

11.1%, over the fourth quarter of 2022.

Period end loans increased $28.7 million, or 1.1%, over the third quarter of 2023 and

$186.2 million, or 7.3%, over the fourth quarter of 2022.

Compared to both prior periods, the loan growth was primarily in the

residential real estate category and was partially offset by lower indirect

auto and construction loan balances.

Allowance for Credit Losses

At December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses for HFI loans totaled $29.9

million compared to $29.1 million at September

30, 2023 and $25.1 million at December 31, 2022.

Activity within the allowance is provided on Page 9.

The increase in the

allowance over both prior periods was driven primarily by loan growth.

Further, the increase from December 31, 2022 reflected

a

higher loss rate for the residential real estate portfolio due to slower prepayment

speeds.

At December 31, 2023, the allowance

represented 1.10% of HFI loans compared to 1.08% at September 30, 2023, and

0.98% at December 31, 2022.

4

Credit Quality

Overall credit quality remains

strong.

Nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate) totaled $6.2

million at

December 31, 2023 compared to $4.7 million at September 30, 2023

and $2.7 million at December 31, 2022.

At December 31,

2023, nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets equaled 0.15%,

compared to 0.11% at September 30, 2023

and 0.06% at

December 31, 2022.

Nonaccrual loans totaled $6.2 million at December 31, 2023, a $1.5 million increase

over September 30, 2023

and a $3.9 million increase over December 31, 2022.

Further, classified loans totaled $22.2 million

at December 31, 2023, a $0.4

million increase over September 30, 2023 and a $2.9 million increase over

December 31, 2022.

Deposits

Average total

deposits were $3.549 billion for the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of $48.3 million, or

1.3%, from the third

quarter of 2023 and a decrease of $254.5 million, or 6.7%, from the

fourth quarter of 2022.

Compared to both prior periods, the

decreases were primarily attributable to lower noninterest bearing and

savings accounts, partially offset by increases in NOW

balances and certificates of deposit.

At December 31, 2023, total deposits were $3.702 billion, an increase of $161.4

million, or 4.6%, from September 30, 2023 and a

decline of $237.5 million, or 6.0%, from December 31, 2022.

Our public fund deposit balances increased $234.4 million and

declined $10.9 million from September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022,

respectively.

Compared to September 30, 2023, the

increase in public funds reflected the seasonal increase in these balances as municipal

tax receipts are received.

Lower deposit

balances year-over-year reflected continued

client spend of stimulus savings and clients seeking higher yielding investment

products outside the Bank, a portion of which have moved to our wealth division.

Additionally, compared

to both prior periods, we

realized a remix of deposit balances of $33 million and $140 million, respectively,

as noninterest bearing accounts migrated into

interest bearing accounts (primarily NOW and money market accounts

).

Business deposit transaction accounts classified as repurchase agreements

averaged $26.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, an

increase of $1.5 million over the third quarter of 2023 and $18.4 million over

the fourth quarter of 2022.

At December 31, 2023,

repurchase agreement balances were $27.0 million compared to $22.9

million at September 30, 2023 and $6.6 million at December

31, 2022.

Liquidity

The Bank maintained an average net overnight funds (deposits with banks plus

FED funds sold less FED funds purchased) sold

position of $99.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $136.6

million in the third quarter of 2023 and $469.4 million in

the fourth quarter of 2022.

The declining overnight funds position reflected growth in average loans and lower

average deposit

balances.

At December 31, 2023, we had the ability to generate approximately $1.488

billion (excludes overnight funds position of $229

million) in additional liquidity through various sources including

various federal funds purchased lines, Federal Home Loan Bank

borrowings, the Federal Reserve Discount Window,

and brokered deposits.

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 December 31, 2023, the weighted-average maturity and

duration of our portfolio were 2.91 years and 2.53, respectively,

and the available-for-sale portfolio had a net unrealized tax-effected

loss of $22.3

million.

Capital

Shareowners’ equity was $440.6 million at December 31, 2023

compared to $419.7 million at September 30, 2023 and $387.3

million at December 31, 2022.

For the fourth quarter of 2023, the $20.9 million increase was partially attributable

to a $12.5

million decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss including

a $9.3 million net decrease in the investment securities loss

and a $4.3 million decrease in the pension plan loss from the year-end

re-measurement of the plan.

For the full year 2023,

shareowners’ equity was positively impacted by net income attributable

to common shareowners of $52.3 million, a $4.1

million

decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss for our pension plan,

a $11.7 million decrease in the unrealized loss on

investment securities, the issuance of stock of $2.5

million, and stock compensation accretion of $1.3

million.

Shareowners’ equity

was reduced by common stock dividends of $12.9 million ($0.76 per

share), the repurchase of stock of $3.7

million (122,538

shares), net adjustments totaling $1.3 million related to transactions under

our stock compensation plans,

and a $0.7 million

decrease in the fair value of the interest rate swap related to subordinated debt.

5

At December 31, 2023, our total risk-based capital ratio was 16.57% compared

to 16.30% at September 30, 2023 and 15.30% at

December 31, 2022.

Our common equity tier 1 capital ratio was 13.52%, 13.26%, and 12.38%, respectively,

on these dates.

Our

leverage ratio was 10.30%, 9.98%, and 8.91%, respectively,

on these dates.

At December 31, 2023, all our regulatory capital ratios

exceeded the thresholds

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

Further, our tangible common

equity ratio was 8.26% at December 31, 2023 compared to 8.08% and 6.65% at

September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022,

respectively.

If our unrealized held-to-maturity securities losses of $21.5 million (after-tax)

were recognized in accumulated other

comprehensive loss, our adjusted tangible capital ratio would be

7.74%.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Unaudited

We present a tangible

common equity ratio and a tangible book value per diluted share that removes the effect

of goodwill and other

intangibles resulting 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 GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations are provided below.
