Item 2.02 - Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On July 25, 2022, Park National Corporation (“Park”) issued a news release (the “Financial Results News Release”) announcing financial results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022. A copy of the Financial Results News Release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K as well as the Financial Results News Release contain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or "U.S. GAAP") financial measures where management believes them to be helpful in understanding Park’s results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, can be found in the Financial Results News Release.

Items Impacting Comparability of Period Results

From time to time, revenue, expenses and/or taxes are impacted by items judged by management of Park to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their outsized impact is believed by management of Park at that time to be infrequent or short-term in nature. Most often, these items impacting comparability of period results are due to merger and acquisition activities and revenue and expenses related to former Vision Bank loan relationships. In other cases, they may result from management's decisions associated with significant corporate actions outside of the ordinary course of business.

Even though certain revenue and expense items are naturally subject to more volatility than others due to changes in market and economic environment conditions, as a general rule volatility alone does not result in the inclusion of an item as one impacting comparability of period results. For example, changes in the provision for / (recovery of) credit losses (aside from those related to former Vision Bank loan relationships), gains (losses) on equity securities, net, and asset valuation adjustments, reflect ordinary banking activities and are, therefore, typically excluded from consideration as items impacting comparability of period results.

Management believes the disclosure of items impacting comparability of period results provides a better understanding of Park's performance and trends and allows management to ascertain which of such items, if any, to include or exclude from an analysis of Park's performance; i.e., within the context of determining how that performance differed from expectations, as well as how, if at all, to adjust estimates of future performance taking such items into account.

Items impacting comparability of the results of particular periods are not intended to be a complete list of items that may materially impact current or future period performance.

Non-GAAP Ratios

Park's management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate Park's performance. Specifically, management reviews the return on average tangible equity, the return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, the tangible book value per share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income.

Management has included in the Financial Results News Release information relating to the annualized return on average tangible equity, the annualized return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, the tangible book value per share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income for the three months ended and at June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 and for the six months ended and at June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021. For purposes of calculating the annualized return on average tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, net income for each period is divided by average tangible equity during the period. Average tangible equity equals average shareholders' equity during the applicable period less average goodwill and other intangible assets during the applicable period. For the purpose of calculating the annualized return on average tangible assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, net income for each period is divided by average tangible assets during the period. Average tangible assets equals average assets during the applicable period less average goodwill and other intangible assets during the applicable period. For the purpose of calculating the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, tangible equity is divided by tangible assets. Tangible equity equals total shareholders' equity less goodwill and other intangible assets, in each case at period end. Tangible assets equal total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets, in each case at period end. For the purpose of calculating the tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, tangible equity is divided by the number of common shares outstanding, in each case at period end. For the purpose of calculating pre-tax, pre-provision net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, income taxes and the provision for (recovery of) credit losses are added back to net income, in each during the applicable period.

Management believes that the disclosure of the annualized return on average tangible equity, the annualized return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, the tangible book value per share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income presents additional information to the reader of the consolidated financial statements, which, when read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, assists in analyzing Park's operating performance, ensures comparability of operating performance from period to period, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of Park's peer financial holding companies and bank holding companies, while eliminating certain non-operational effects of acquisitions. In the Financial Results News Release, Park has provided a reconciliation of average tangible equity to average shareholders' equity, average tangible assets to average assets, tangible equity to total shareholders' equity, tangible assets to total assets, and pre-tax, pre-provision net income to net income solely for the purpose of complying with SEC Regulation G and not as an indication that the annualized return on average tangible equity, the annualized return on average tangible assets, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, the tangible book value per share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income are substitutes for the annualized return on average equity, the annualized return on average assets, the total shareholders' equity to total assets ratio, the book value per share and net income, respectively, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

FTE (fully taxable equivalent) Ratios

Interest income, yields, and ratios on a FTE basis are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes net interest income on a FTE basis provides an insightful picture of the interest margin for comparison purposes. The FTE basis also allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The FTE basis assumes a corporate federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent. In the Financial Results News Release, Park has provided a reconciliation of FTE interest income solely for the purpose of complying with SEC Regulation G and not as an indication that FTE interest income, yields and ratios are substitutes for interest income, yields and ratios, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Loans

Park originated $764.7 million in loans as part of the PPP. These loans are not typical of Park's loan portfolio in that they are part of a specific government program to support businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic and are 100% guaranteed by the Small Business Administration ("SBA"). As such, management considers growth in the loan portfolio excluding PPP loans, the total allowance for credit losses to total loans ratio (excluding PPP loans), and general reserve on collectively evaluated loans as a percentage of total collectively evaluated loans (excluding PPP loans) in addition to the related U.S. GAAP metrics which are not adjusted for PPP loans.

Item 7.01 - Regulation FD Disclosure

COVID-19 Considerations

During 2022 and 2021, Park provided calamity pay and special bonuses to certain associates related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The cost of the calamity pay and special bonuses was $141,000 and $670,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and was $747,000 and $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and is included within salaries expense.

Paycheck Protection Program: During 2020 and 2021, Park approved and funded 7,701 loans totaling $764.7 million. For its assistance in making and retaining these loans, Park received an aggregate of $33.1 million in fees from the SBA, of which $2.5 million and $9.7 were recognized within loan interest income during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At June 30, 2022, the remaining balance of PPP loans was $13.4 million.

Loan Modifications: Park has worked with borrowers and provided modifications in the form of either interest only deferral or principal and interest deferral, in each case, for initial periods of up to 90 days. As necessary, Park made available a second 90-day interest only deferral or principal and interest deferral bringing the total potential deferral period to six months. Modifications were structured in a manner to best address each individual customer's then current situation. A majority of these modifications were excluded from the troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") classification under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators. The modified loans were considered current and continued to accrue interest during the deferral period.

Financial Results by Segment

The table below reflects the net income (loss) by segment for the first and second quarters of 2022, for the first half of each of 2022 and 2021 (the six months ended June 30) and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Park's segments include The Park National Bank ("PNB") and "All Other" which primarily consists of Park as the "Parent Company", Guardian Financial Services Company ("GFSC") and SE Property Holdings, LLC ("SEPH").

Pre-tax, pre-provision net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $87.1 million represented a $3.6 million, or 4.0%, decrease compared to $90.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Net income for each of the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 included several items of income and expense that impacted comparability of period results. These items are detailed in the "Financial Reconciliations" section within the Financial Results News Release.

(1) Park adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2021. The allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, and as of December 31, 2021 and the related provision for (recovery of) credit losses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021 were calculated utilizing this new guidance.

Net interest income of $162.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 represented a $2.0 million, or 1.2%, decrease compared to $164.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was a result of a $2.4 million decrease in interest income, partially offset by a $470,000 decrease in interest expense.

The $2.4 million decrease in interest income was primarily due to a $8.4 million decrease in interest income on loans, partially offset by a $6.0 million increase in investment income. The decrease in interest income on loans was primarily the result of a $8.3 million decrease in interest income on PPP loans and a $170,000 decrease in interest income on all other loans. Excluding PPP loans, there was a $47.3 million increase in average loans from $6.743 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $6.790 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase in average loans was offset by a 3 basis point decline in the yield excluding PPP loans from 4.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 4.32% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The $6.0 million increase in investment income was primarily the result of a $652.8 million increase in average investments, from $1.17 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $1.82 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in the yield on investments, which decreased 18 basis points to 2.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 2.42% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The $470,000 decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a $538,000 decrease in interest expense on deposits, partially offset by a $68,000 increase in interest expense on borrowings. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was the result of a $99.7 million decrease in average on-balance sheet interest bearing deposits from $5.19 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021, to $5.09 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as well as the result of a decrease in the cost of deposits of 2 basis points, from 0.14% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 0.12% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in on-balance sheet interest bearing deposits was due to decreases in both savings deposits and time deposits, which were partially offset by an increase in transaction accounts. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, Park made the decision to participate in a program to transfer deposits off balance sheet in order to manage growth of the balance sheet.

The recovery of credit losses of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 represented a difference of $6.7 million, compared to a recovery of credit losses of $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Refer to the “Credit Metrics and Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses” section for additional details regarding the level of the provision for (recovery of) credit losses recognized in each period presented above.

Other income of $60.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 represented a decrease of $3.4 million, or 5.4%, compared to $63.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $3.4 million decrease was primarily related to a $7.4 million decrease in other service income, which was primarily due to declines in fee income from mortgage loan originations and mortgage servicing rights, partially offset by an increase in investor rate locks and mortgage loans held for sale. Additionally, there was a $382,000 decrease in other miscellaneous income. These decreases were partially offset by increases of (i) $1.9 million in other components of net periodic benefit income; (ii) $931,000 in gain on equity securities, net; (iii) $914,000 in income from fiduciary activities, and (iv) $552,000 in income from service charges on deposits.

Total other expense of $130.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 represented a decrease of $268,000, or 0.2%, compared to $130.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in salaries expense was primarily related to increases in base salary expense, partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation expense and additional compensation expense. The increase in employee benefits expense was primarily related to increased payroll tax expense and other retirement benefits. The increase in furniture and equipment expense was primarily related to an increase in depreciation expense. The increase in data processing fees was primarily related to an increase in software data processing expense, partially offset by a decrease in debit card processing expense. The increase in professional fees and services expense was primarily due to increases in management and consulting expense, legal expense and directors fees, which were partially offset by decreases in credit costs and other fees. The decrease in marketing expense was due to a decrease in advertising expenses. The decrease in foundation contributions was due to a $4.0 million contribution to Park's charitable foundation having been made during the six months ended June 30, 2021, with no similar contribution being made during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Total deposits at June 30, 2022 were $8.58 billion, compared to $8.16 billion at December 31, 2021, an increase of $417.6 million, or 5.1%. Total deposits at June 30, 2022 were $8.58 billion, compared to $8.48 million at June 30, 2021, an increase of

$94.3 million, or 1.1%. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021, Park made the decision to participate in two programs to transfer deposits off balance sheet in order to manage growth of the balance sheet, as deposits increased significantly throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. At June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, Park had $809.8 million, $983.1 million and $812.2 million, respectively, in deposits which were off-balance sheet. Total deposits would have increased $244.3 million, or 2.7%, compared to December 31, 2021 had the $809.8 million and $983.1 million in deposits remained on the balance sheet at the respective dates. Total deposits would have increased $91.9 million, or 1.0%, compared to June 30, 2021 had the $809.8 million and $812.2 million in deposits remained on the balance sheet at the respective dates.

(1) Park adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2021. The allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 and December 31, 2021 and the related recovery of credit losses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the year ended December 31, 2021 were calculated utilizing this new guidance.

The net interest income (expense) for All Other included, for all periods presented, interest income on subordinated debt investments in PNB, which were eliminated in the consolidated Park National Corporation totals, as well as interest income on GFSC loans and SEPH impaired loan relationships. The net interest income (expense) for All Other included interest expense on $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 issued by Park in August 2020 (the "Park Subordinated Notes").

Net interest income (expense) reflected net interest expense of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $176,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change was largely the result of a decrease of $630,000 in loan interest income related to payment collections at SEPH, and a decrease of $595,000 in net interest income from GFSC, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on borrowings of $239,000 mainly related to the Park Subordinated Notes.

Refer to the “Credit Metrics and Provision for (Recovery of) Credit Losses” section for additional information regarding the All Other loan portfolio and the level of recovery of credit losses recognized in each period presented.

All Other had other income of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change was largely due to a $1.2 million increase in income from bank owned life insurance, mainly related to a death benefit payout, and a $474,000 increase in gain (loss) on equity securities, net, which went from a $130,000 gain for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to a $603,000 gain for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was partially offset by an $442,000 decrease in income related to partnership investments, which went from a $642,000 gain for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to a $199,000 gain for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

All Other had other expense of $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was largely due to a $419,000 decrease in professional fees and services, a $364,000 decrease in occupancy expenses, a $337,000 decrease in salaries expense, and a $277,000 decrease in other insurance expense.

The table below provides certain balance sheet information for All Other as of or for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

The allowance for credit losses of $81.4 million at June 30, 2022 represented a $1.7 million, or 2.1%, decline compared to $83.2 million at December 31, 2021. The decline was largely due to a $2.0 million decrease in general reserves, taking into consideration changing economic forecasts while balancing the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in high risk loan portfolios such as hotel and accommodations, restaurants and food service and strip shopping centers, inflation and other economic risks.
