Forward-Looking Information
All statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that do not directly
and exclusively relate to historical facts
constitute forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always, made
through the use of words or phrases such as
“may,” “might,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “expect,”
“continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,”
“intend,” “plan,” “strive,” “projection,” “goal,” “target,” “outlook,”
“aim,” “would,” “annualized” and “outlook,” or the negative of
these words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking
nature. For example, our forward-looking statements
include statements regarding our expectations, opportunities or plans
for growth; the proposed acquisition of Farmers & Stockmens
Bank, the bank subsidiary of Central Bancorp, Inc. (collectively, Farmers
& Stockmens Bank and Central Bancorp, Inc. are herein
referred as “Central”); our anticipated expenses, cash requirements and
sources of liquidity; and our capital allocation strategies and
plans.
Unless we state otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references
below to “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to
CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to “CrossFirst
Bank” and the “Bank” refer to CrossFirst Bank,
our wholly owned consolidated bank subsidiary.
These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based
on current expectations, estimates and projections about
our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management,
many of which, by their nature, are inherently
uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, The Company cautions you that any such forward-looking statements are
not guarantees
of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties
that are difficult to predict. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking
statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results
may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or
implied by the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors.
Such factors include: credit quality and risk, risks associated with the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic, changes in economic conditions in
the United States and the Company’s market areas, legislative and regulatory
changes, fluctuations in interest rates, changes in liquidity
requirements, demand for loans in the Company’s market areas, changes in
accounting and tax principles, estimates made on income
taxes, competition with other entities that offer financial services, cybersecurity
incidents or other failures, disruptions or security
breaches, commercial and residential real estate values, funding availability,
the transition away from the London Interbank Offered
Rate (LIBOR), business strategy execution, hiring and retention
of key personnel, fraud committed against the Company, or other
external events.
Additional discussion of these and other risk factors can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
on February 28, 2022, and in our other
Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update
or revise forward-looking statements to reflect
changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes
in our business, results of operations or financial condition over
time. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on such forward-looking statements.
