may contain statements that are not historical in nature and are

intended to be, and are hereby identified as, forward-looking statements

for purposes of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Forward-looking statements are those that are not historical facts.

The words “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “could,” “ should,” “would,”

“believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “aim,” “plan,” “estimate,”

“continue,” “seek,” and “intend,”, the negative of these terms, as well as

other similar words and expressions of the future, are

intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward

-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to

our projected growth, anticipated future financial performance,

and management’s long-term performance goals, as well as statements

relating to the anticipated effects on our results of operations and financial

condition from expected or potential developments or events,

or business and growth strategies, including anticipated internal growth

and balance sheet restructuring. These forward-looking statements

involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause our

actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.

Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the

strength of the United States economy in general and the strength

of the local economies in which we conduct operations; our

ability to successfully manage interest rate risk, credit risk,

liquidity risk, and other risks inherent to our industry; the accuracy

of our financial statement estimates and assumptions, including the estimates

used for our credit loss reserve and deferred tax asset valuation allowance;

the efficiency and effectiveness of our internal control procedures

and processes; our ability to comply with the extensive laws and regulations

to

which we are subject, including the laws for each jurisdiction where

we operate; adverse changes or conditions in the capital and financial

markets, including actual or potential stresses in the banking

industry; deposit attrition and the level of our uninsured deposits; legislative

or regulatory changes and changes in accounting principles, policies,

practices or guidelines, including the on-going effects of the

implementation of the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”)

standard; the lack of a significantly diversified loan portfolio

and the concentration in the South Florida market, including the risks

of geographic, depositor, and industry concentrations, including

our concentration in loans secured by real estate, in particular,

commercial real estate; the effects of climate change; the concentration

of ownership of our common stock; fluctuations in the price of our

common stock; our ability to fund or access the capital

markets at attractive rates and terms and manage our growth, both

organic growth as well as growth through other means, such as future

acquisitions; inflation, interest rate, unemployment rate, and

market and monetary fluctuations; impacts of international hostilities

and geopolitical events; increased competition and its effect

on the pricing of our products and services as well as our net interest rate

spread and net interest margin; the loss of key employees; the effectiveness

of our risk management strategies, including operational risks, including,

but not limited to, client, employee, or third-party fraud and

security breaches; and other risks described in this presentation and other

filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

All forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of

future results, and there can be no assurance that actual results will not

differ materially from expectations. Therefore, you are cautioned

not to place undue reliance on any forward-

looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements included

in this presentation are made only as of the date hereof, and

we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements

to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date

on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence

of unanticipated events, unless required to do so under the federal securities

laws. You should also review the risk factors described in the

reports USCB Financial Holdings, Inc. filed or will file with the

SEC. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes financial

information determined by methods other than in accordance

with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This financial

information includes certain operating performance measures.

Management has included

these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes these

measures may provide useful supplemental information for evaluating

the Company’s expectations and underlying performance

trends. Further, management uses these measures in managing and evaluating

the Company’s business and intends to refer to them in discussions

about our operations and performance. Operating performance

measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to

or substitute for, measures determined in accordance

with GAAP, and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures

that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of

these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures

can be found in the Non-GAAP financial measures reconciliation

tables included in this presentation. All numbers included

in this presentation are unaudited unless otherwise noted. 2

OUR STRATEGY Organic Loan Growth: Take advantage

of platform that we have developed post 2015 recapitalization, capitalize

on fragmented Miami-Dade MSA community banking market, and

continue to build market share Capitalize on inherent advantages

over smaller community banks which lack our product expertise and

breadth of service Due to significant consolidation, there exists a

base of potential clients that desire to partner with a bank that

is locally headquartered Team Lift-outs: Continue to bring

in top tier talent to U.S. Century Bank, with teams attracted

to culture, public currency and local decision making Overall growth success

will depend upon our ability to attract, retain, develop, incentivize,

and reward the human capital necessary to execute growth strategy

Attractive stock-based incentive compensation to attract top tier

talent Asset Purchases: Portfolio loan purchases from companies

exiting non-core lines of business; opportunistic to complement organic

growth initiatives Net capital can serve as dry powder to facilitate

meaningfully sized portfolio acquisitions Proactively evaluating portfolio

opportunities that are consistent with USCB’s credit philosophy

Strategic Acquisitions: Become an active acquirer for

Florida banks looking to find a partner Focused on strategic, financially

attractive acquisitions which support USCB’s organic growth

strategy without compromising the risk profile Numerous potential

partners in Miami-Dade MSA that may seek liquidity USCB

is positioned to offer stock consideration 9

Routine Increases: $362k Salaries and employee benefits increased

$110 thousand due to merit increases and higher replacement

cost of personnel. Consulting and legal expenses increased $218 thousand

due to timing of billings throughout the year. Other operating

expense increased $104 thousand mainly due to internet banking fees

and item processing expenses. Occupancy, regulatory assessment

and fees, and network and information technology had a net decrease

of $70 thousand. Q4’24 Non-Routine Increases: $1,038k Diluted EPS

Impact ($0.04) Salaries and employee benefits increased $620 thousand

due to restricted stock award expense (a shorter initial vesting

period; annual expense was recognized in two months). Legal expenses

increased $173 thousand for various items for which we expect

reimbursement in coming quarters. Other operating expense increased

$174 thousand related to forced-place insurance related

to borrowers. The Company expects to receive reimbursements in coming quarters.

Additionally, other operating expense increase due to $71

thousand excise tax related to the Company’s stock repurchases

pursuant to its previously announced

stock repurchase programs. Annualized. 26

APPENDIX – RISK MANAGEMENT Risk Management Philosophy and

Culture Management has instilled a culture of adherence

to well-developed risk management procedures. Management is responsible

potential risks that may exist at the enterprise, strategic, financial,

operational, compliance and reporting levels.) The risk

management and compliance division consist of twenty-two professionals

covering enterprise risk management, cybersecurity, third-party

risk, bank secrecy, consumer compliance, regulatory,

corporate, and legal affairs. The division plays an active role

in assessing corporate risks, compliance and collaborating with

management to mitigate identified risks. Heightened focus on BSA / AML

/ KYC compliance due to foreign exposure. Individual country

loan exposure limited to 0% - 70% of total capital based on individual

country risk. Correspondent banking services offered exclusively

tolerance framework. Highly experienced compliance team with international

compliance experience from larger banking institutions. The

audit and risk committee of the board of directors consists of

four members responsible for complete oversight of Company’s

risk management, compliance, and internal controls: Ramon

Rodriguez (Chair), Bernardo Fernandez, Ramón Abadin and Maria

Alonso. Credit Philosophy Conservative credit culture that encourages

prudent and desirable loans over unchecked growth Underwriting

strength stems from deep understanding of U.S. Century’s market,

long-standing relationships with clients, and disciplined underwriting

and credit review process Focused on maintaining a well-diversified

and conservative loan portfolio Robust Credit Administration Underwriting

group supported by experienced credit officers with both credit

analysis and lending experience Effective and independent loan review
