PEOPLES BANCORP INC. REPORTS QUARTERLY NET INCOME

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

MARIETTA, Ohio - Peoples Bancorp Inc. ("Peoples") (Nasdaq: PEBO) today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Net income totaled $9.6 million for the second quarter of 2019, representing earnings per diluted common share of $0.46. In comparison, earnings per diluted common share were $0.73 for the first quarter of 2019 and $0.41 for the second quarter of 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, earnings per diluted common share were $1.19, compared to $1.04 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Acquisition-related costs negatively impacted earnings per diluted common share by $0.28, $0.01, and $0.25 during the second quarter of 2019, first quarter of 2019, and second quarter of 2018, respectively, and by $0.29 and $0.27 during the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

On April 12, 2019, Peoples completed the previously-announced merger with First Prestonsburg Bancshares Inc. ("First Prestonsburg"). First Prestonsburg merged into Peoples, and First Prestonsburg's wholly-owned subsidiary, First Commonwealth Bank of Prestonsburg Inc. ("First Commonwealth"), which operated nine full-service bank branches in eastern and central Kentucky, merged into Peoples Bank. As of April 12, 2019, First Prestonsburg had $294.1 million in total assets, which included $130.4 million in total loans, and $257.2 million in total deposits, after preliminary fair value adjustments. Consideration of $43.7 million was paid in the merger, of which $11.3 million was in the form of a special cash dividend paid to shareholders of First Prestonsburg prior to the merger, with the remainder paid in the form of an aggregate of 1,005,478 Peoples common shares.

"During the second quarter of 2019, we completed our acquisition of First Prestonsburg and grew net interest income by 6% compared to the first quarter of 2019," said Chuck Sulerzyski, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are excited about the new capabilities and product offerings available to our new customers as a result of the acquisition. For the first six months of 2019, net interest margin grew to 3.78%, compared to 3.70% for the same period of 2018. Non-interest income was also a highlight for the first six months of 2019 as we have grown those sources of income by 9% over the same 2018 period. Asset quality remains strong, with annualized net charge-offs at 3 basis points of average total loans for the quarter. We are committed to maintaining focus on building strong, reliable results for our shareholders as we proceed into the second half of 2019."

Statement of Income Highlights:

• Net interest income grew $2.1 million, or 6%, compared to the linked quarter and $3.2 million, or 10%, compared to the second quarter of 2018.

◦ Net interest margin was 3.77% for the second quarter of 2019, compared to 3.80% for the linked quarter and 3.74% for the second quarter of 2018.

• Peoples recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.6 million during the second quarter of 2019, compared to a recovery of loan losses of $0.3 million during the first quarter of 2019, and a provision for loan losses of $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2018.

◦ Given the low net charge-offs of $208,000, combined with originated loan balances remaining stable during the quarter, the provision for loan losses during each of the current quarter and linked quarter was lower than historical trends.

◦ Gross charge-offs were $665,000, or 0.09% of average total loans, for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $1.0 million, or 0.15% of average total loans, for the linked quarter, and $1.0 million, or 0.15% of average total loans, for the second quarter of 2018.

• Total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, increased $58,000 compared to the linked quarter, and increased $1.8 million, or 13%, compared to the second quarter of 2018.

◦ Overall increases in non-interest income, particularly deposit account service charges and commercial loan swap fee income, offset declines in insurance income ($1.4 million of annual performance-based insurance commissions) and other non-interest income ($787,000 of income related to the sale of restricted Class B Visa stock) compared to the linked quarter.

◦ The growth compared to the second quarter of 2018 was driven by increases in deposit account service charges of $589,000, or 25%, and electronic banking income of $482,000, or 17%. Additionally, commercial swap fee income more than tripled to $516,000 in the current quarter, driven by customer demand given the rate environment.

• Total non-interest expense increased $7.0 million, or 22%, compared to the linked quarter and grew $2.9 million, or 8%, compared to the second quarter of 2018.

◦ The increase in non-interest expense compared to the linked quarter was primarily driven by acquisition-related expenses, which totaled $6.8 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $253,000 for the first quarter of 2019.

◦ Compared to the prior year second quarter, salaries and employee benefit costs were up, driven by higher medical insurance costs due to medical claims, annual merit increases, which included the continued movement towards a $15 per hour minimum wage throughout the company, and employees that have been added in the last twelve months from acquisitions and for future growth. Total acquisition-related expenses increased $714,000 compared to the second quarter of 2018.

◦ The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2019 was 73.2% and for the first six months of 2019 was 68.1%. Adjusted to exclude non-core items, the efficiency ratio was 60.2% for the second quarter of 2019 and 61.2% for the first six months of 2019.

Balance Sheet Highlights:

• As of June 30, 2019, loan balances acquired from First Prestonsburg totaled $125.3 million, and deposit balances acquired from First Prestonsburg totaled $232.2 million.

• Period-end total loan balances increased $96.0 million compared to the end of the linked quarter.

◦ Originated loan balances remained relatively stable, declining slightly during the quarter. While loan origination levels were higher than in prior periods, they were outpaced by large paydowns during the quarter.

◦ Compared to June 30, 2018, period-end total loans grew $147.0 million, or 5%, due to a combination of loans acquired from First Prestonsburg and originated loan growth.

◦ Average loan balances grew $96.0 million, or 14% annualized, compared to the linked quarter. Compared to the second quarter of 2018, average loan balances increased $202.8 million, or 8%.

• Asset quality metrics remained strong during the quarter.

◦ Delinquency trends improved as loans considered current comprised 99.0% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2019, compared to 98.6% at March 31, 2019, and 98.5% at December 31, 2018, and were down slightly from 99.1% at June 30, 2018.

◦ Classified loans and criticized loans increased compared to March 31, 2019, which was driven by the acquired loans from First Prestonsburg.

◦ As a percent of total loans and other real estate owned ("OREO"), nonperforming assets were 0.71% at June 30, 2019, compared to 0.67% at March 31, 2019 and 0.67% at June 30, 2018.

• Period-end total deposit balances grew $226.2 million, or 7%, compared to March 31, 2019, and increased $414.4 million, or 14%, compared to June 30, 2018.

◦ The increase in deposits compared to March 31, 2019 was driven by the deposits acquired from First Prestonsburg, partially offset by a decline in governmental deposits of $31.9 million, due to seasonality.

◦ Total demand deposit balances were 37% of total deposits at June 30, 2019, compared to 38% at March 31, 2019 and 39% at June 30, 2018.

Net Interest Income:

Net interest income was $36.0 million for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 6% compared to the linked quarter. Net interest margin was 3.77% for the second quarter of 2019, compared to 3.80% for the linked quarter. The slight decline in interest margin during the quarter was driven by higher costs for time deposits and governmental deposits, which more than offset increased loan yields, driven by the First Prestonsburg acquisition. Compared to the first quarter of 2019, net interest income was positively impacted by the acquisition of First Prestonsburg.

Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2019 and $722,000 for the first quarter of 2019, which added 13 basis points and 8 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin.

2

The growth in net accretion income compared to the first quarter of 2019 was due to the First Prestonsburg acquisition, specifically the loan discount that was accreted during the quarter.

Net interest income for the current quarter increased $3.2 million, or 10%, over the second quarter of 2018. Net interest margin increased 3 basis points compared to 3.74% for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in net interest income compared to the second quarter of 2018 was driven by higher yields on loans, combined with the impact of acquired First Prestonsburg loans. These were partially offset by higher deposit costs due to increased competition for deposits, combined with additional interest expense related to the acquired First Prestonsburg deposits. The second quarter of 2018 also benefited from proceeds of $248,000 received on an investment security that had been previously written down due to an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"), which added 3 basis points to the net interest margin. Peoples recorded no similar proceeds during the current quarter.

Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2019 and $523,000 for the second quarter of 2018, which added 13 basis points and 6 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The increase in net accretion income compared to the second quarter of 2018 was due to the First Prestonsburg acquisition.

For the first six months of 2019, net interest income grew 13% compared to 2018, and net interest margin grew 8 basis points to 3.78%. The increases were driven by higher interest income on loans due to a combination of loan growth, which was primarily the result of the First Prestonsburg and ASB Financial Corp. ("ASB") acquisitions, and higher yields from interest rate increases. The interest income from higher average loan balances outpaced interest expense from deposits, which increased due to the recent acquisitions and increased competition for deposits. The first six months of 2018 benefited from proceeds of $589,000 received on investment securities that had been previously written down due to OTTI, which added 3 basis points to net interest margin.

Accretion income, net of amortization expense, from acquisitions was $1.9 million for the first six months of 2019 and $1.1 million for the first six months of 2018, which added 10 basis points and 6 basis points, respectively, to net interest margin. The growth in net accretion income compared to the first six months of 2018 was largely due to the First Prestonsburg acquisition.

Provision for (Recovery of) Loan Losses:

The provision for loan losses was $626,000 for the second quarter of 2019, compared to recovery of loan losses of $263,000 for the linked quarter and provision for loan losses of $1,188,000 for the second quarter of 2018. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2019 were $208,000, or 0.03% of average total loans, compared to net recoveries of $1,007,000, or 0.15% of average total loans, for the linked quarter and net charge-offs of $720,000, or 0.11% of average total loans, for the second quarter of 2018. Net recoveries during the first quarter of 2019 were driven by a $1.8 million recovery recorded on a previously charged-off commercial loan. Gross charge-offs were $665,000, or 0.09% of average total loans, for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $1.0 million, or 0.15% of average total loans, for the first quarter of 2019, and $1.0 million, or 0.15% of average total loans, for the second quarter of 2018.

For the first six months of 2019, the provision for loan losses was $363,000, compared to $3.2 million for the first six months of 2018. Net recoveries for the first six months of 2019 were $799,000, compared to net charge-offs of $2.7 million for the first six months of 2018. The first six months of 2019 included the $1.8 million recovery recorded on a previously charged-off commercial loan. The first six months of 2018 included a charge-off of $827,000 on an acquired commercial loan relationship. Gross charge-offs were $1.7 million, or 0.12% of average total loans, for the first six months of 2019, compared to $3.3 million, or 0.26% of average total loans, for the first six months of 2018.

Net Gains and Losses:

Net gains and losses include gains and losses on investment securities, and on asset disposals and other transactions, which are included in non-interest income. Net losses during the second quarter of 2019 were $350,000, compared to $152,000 for the linked quarter, and $552,000 in the second quarter of 2018. During the second quarter of 2019, losses included $253,000 of write-offs of fixed assets acquired from First Prestonsburg. Losses during the linked quarter included $118,000 of market value write-downs related to closed offices that were held for sale. During the second quarter of 2018, losses included $192,000 related to fixed assets acquired from ASB and $147,000 in market value write-downs for buildings that were held for sale.

For the first six months of 2019, net losses were $502,000, compared to $477,000 for the first six months of 2018. Net losses during the year-to-date period through June 30, 2019 were driven by the write-offs of fixed assets acquired from First Prestonsburg and market value write-downs related to closed offices that were held for sale. In the year-to-date period in 2018, the second quarter losses on fixed asset disposals, loss on investment securities and market value write-downs on properties held for sale were partially offset by net gains on repossessed assets that had been recorded in the first quarter of 2018.

Total Non-interest Income, Excluding Net Gains and Losses:

Total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, for the second quarter of 2019 increased $58,000 compared to the linked quarter. The first quarter of 2019 included $1.4 million of annual performance-based insurance commissions, which are primarily received in the first quarter each year. Additionally, other non-interest income in the first quarter of 2019 included $787,000 of income related to the sale of restricted Class B Visa stock. These two items were offset by increases in a number of categories in the second quarter of 2019. Income from deposit account service charges was up 27% compared to the linked quarter, due to a combination of the additional accounts acquired from First Prestonsburg and a new deposit account fee schedule that was implemented in March 2019. Commercial loan swap fee income was up $370,000, driven by higher customer demand and an increase in the average size of each transaction, given the current rate environment. Trust and investment income, and electronic banking income each increased 9%, while mortgage banking income increased 27% compared to the linked quarter due to more sales of residential real estate loans to the secondary market.

Compared to the second quarter of 2018, non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, grew $1.8 million, or 13%. All non-interest income categories increased, with the exception of bank owned life insurance, which had a slight decrease. Income from deposit account service charges, which increased 25% compared to the prior year quarter, benefited from the additional accounts acquired from First Prestonsburg and the new deposit account fee schedule implemented in March 2019. Electronic banking income was up 17% primarily as the result of increased debit card usage, which was positively impacted by the additional cardholders obtained in the First Prestonsburg acquisition. Commercial loan swap fee income increased, driven by an increase in the average size of each transaction and customer demand as a result of the current rate environment.

For the first six months of 2019, non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, grew $2.5 million, or 9%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Income from deposit account service charges was up 18% compared to a year ago primarily due to the ASB and First Prestonsburg acquisitions, coupled with changes in fee schedules. Electronic banking increased 12%, as it was positively impacted by the additional customers and accounts obtained in the acquisitions. Commercial loan swap fee income increased, driven by an increase in the average size of each transaction and customer demand as a result of the current rate environment. Year-over-year, mortgage banking income increased 35% due to more sales as the result of the mortgage operation acquired from ASB. Realized and unrealized gains on equity investment securities increased $585,000 compared to the first six months of 2018, driven by $787,000 of income related to the sale of restricted Class B Visa stock during the first quarter of 2019. These increases were partially offset by lower Small Business Administration income, which declined $550,000 compared to the first six months of 2018 as the result of lower volume.

Total Non-interest Expense:

Total non-interest expense increased $7.0 million, or 22%, compared to the linked quarter, and grew $2.9 million, or 8%, compared to the second quarter of 2018. Core non-interest expense, which excludes acquisition-related expenses, increased $499,000, or 2%, compared to the linked quarter, and grew $2.2 million, or 7%, compared to the second quarter of 2018. For the first six months of 2019, total non-interest expense increased $6.5 million, or 10%, compared to the first six months of 2018. Core non-interest expense for the first six months of 2019 increased $5.7 million, or 10%, compared to the first six months of 2018.

The following three paragraphs discuss changes to core non-interest expense. Each comparison was affected by added core expenses in the second quarter of 2019 related to the First Prestonsburg acquisition.

The increase in core non-interest expense compared to the linked quarter was driven by increases in professional fees, and foreclosed real estate and other loan expenses, partially offset by a decline in salaries and employee benefit costs. The increase in professional fees was mainly the result of additional audit and consulting procedures performed during the second quarter of 2019. Salaries and employee benefit costs declined compared to the linked quarter as the result of expenses that occur annually in the first quarter, which included those associated with annual stock grants, primarily

5

related to employees who were retirement eligible, and annual contributions to employee health benefit accounts. The acquisition of First Prestonsburg mainly impacted the following line items: salaries and employee benefit costs, net occupancy and equipment expenses, and amortization of other intangible assets, in the linked quarter comparison.

Core non-interest expense increased compared to the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefit costs, partially offset by a decline in professional fees. Base salaries, stock-based compensation, and medical insurance were the main contributors to the increase in salaries and employee benefit costs. Base salaries were primarily impacted by the First Prestonsburg and ASB acquisitions, and annual merit increases, which included the continued movement towards a $15 per hour minimum wage throughout the company. The $15 per hour minimum wage was announced in early 2018 and will be largely implemented by January 1, 2020. The increase in medical insurance was driven by higher medical claims. Stock-based compensation increased as a result of the employees that have been added in the last twelve months for future growth.  Professional fees declined 25% compared to the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to consulting procedures performed during the second quarter of 2018.

The increase in core non-interest expense for the first six months of 2019, compared to the first six months of 2018, was driven by higher salaries and employee benefit costs, partially offset by a decline in professional fees. Salaries and employee benefit costs were up primarily due to higher base salaries, medical insurance and stock-based compensation. Base salaries were impacted by the acquisitions, and annual merit increases, which included the continued movement towards a $15 per hour minimum wage throughout the company. The increase in medical insurance was driven by higher medical claims. Stock-based compensation increased as a result of the employees that have been added in the last twelve months for future growth. Professional fees declined 26% compared to the second quarter of 2018, mostly due to consulting procedures performed during the first six months of 2018. Net occupancy and equipment expenses also increased compared to the first six months of 2018, primarily due to the acquisitions. Peoples also made investments in technology, which resulted in increased electronic banking, and data processing and software expenses.

The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2019 was 73.2%, compared to 62.7% for the linked quarter, and 75.0% for the second quarter of 2018. The efficiency ratio increased compared to the linked quarter, driven by higher acquisition-related expenses. The efficiency ratio, adjusted for non-core items, was 60.2% for the second quarter of 2019, compared to 62.2% for the linked quarter, and 62.0% for the second quarter of 2018. For the first six months of 2019, the efficiency ratio was 68.1%, compared to 68.5% for the first six months of 2018. Adjusted for non-core items, the efficiency ratio for the first six months of 2019 was 61.2%, compared to 61.7% for the same period in the prior year.

Income Tax Expense:

Income tax expense was $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $3.4 million for the linked quarter and $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2018. The decline in income tax expense compared to the linked quarter was due to lower pre-tax income. The current quarter included a tax benefit of $59,000 recorded for the vesting of restricted stock during the current quarter, compared to a tax benefit of $133,000 in the linked quarter. The vesting of a majority of stock awards granted by Peoples occurs annually in the first quarter. The increase in income tax expense compared to the second quarter of 2018 was primarily due to higher pre-tax income.

For the first six months of 2019, Peoples recorded income tax expense of $5.6 million, compared to $3.4 million for the same period in the prior year, and the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2019 was 18.9%, compared to 14.7% for the first six months of 2018. The year-over-year increase in income tax expense was primarily due to higher pre-tax income. The first six months of 2019 included a tax benefit of $192,000 recorded for the vesting of restricted stock during the period. The first six months of 2018 included an $805,000 valuation allowance release, as well as a tax benefit of $296,000 recorded for the vesting of restricted stock during the period.

Loans:

Period-end total loan balances at June 30, 2019 increased $96.0 million compared to March 31, 2019, and $104.8 million compared to December 31, 2018. The increases were primarily due to the First Prestonsburg acquisition. Originated loan balances declined $187,000 during the quarter, and increased $18.4 million compared to December 31, 2018. Loan originations during the first half of 2019 were higher than in recent years for the same period; however, significantly higher loan paydowns experienced during the first half of 2019 minimized the impact of the increased production on loan growth for all comparison periods. Total commercial loan balances increased $32.3 million compared to March 31, 2018. Consumer loans continued to provide additional growth, driven by an increase in residential real estate loans of $41.8 million, or 28% annualized.

Compared to June 30, 2018, total loan balances increased $147.0 million, or 5%. Commercial loan balances were up $60.7 million, or 4%, residential real estate loans increased $38.0 million, or 6%, and consumer indirect loans were up $46.1 million, or 12%, in each case from balances as of June 30, 2018.

As of June 30, 2019, the First Prestonsburg acquisition added:

◦ $52.1 million in residential real estate loans;

◦ $42.4 million in commercial real estate loans;

◦ $7.4 million in consumer, direct loans;

◦ $17.7 million in commercial and industrial loans, and;

◦ $5.8 million in home equity lines of credit.

Quarterly average loan balances grew $96.0 million compared to the linked quarter, driven by the First Prestonsburg acquisition. Commercial loan balances were up $40.9 million and residential real estate loans grew $43.7 million.

Quarterly average loan balances increased $202.8 million, or 8%, compared to the second quarter of 2018, driven by the recent acquisitions, coupled with the originated loan growth experienced during 2018. Commercial loan balances increased $95.5 million, or 7%, compared to the second quarter of 2018. Consumer indirect loans provided growth of $53.0 million, or 15%, compared to the year-ago quarter, and residential real estate loans increased $46.2 million, or 8%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, average gross loan balances increased $280.6 million, or 11%, compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by the recent acquisitions, coupled with the originated loan growth. Average commercial and industrial loan balances grew $97.6 million, or 20%, while residential real estate balances grew $78.7 million, or 14%, and consumer indirect loans were up $59.9 million, or 17%, compared to the first six months of 2018.

Asset Quality:

Asset quality was impacted by the loans acquired from First Prestonsburg; however, overall asset quality metrics remained strong. Criticized loans, which are those categorized as special mention, substandard or doubtful, increased $7.2 million, or 8%, compared to March 31, 2019, and decreased $23.8 million, or 20%, compared to June 30, 2018. As a percent of total loans, criticized loans were 3.42% at June 30, 2019, compared to 3.28% at March 31, 2019 and 4.50% at June 30, 2018. The increase in criticized loans was largely related to acquired First Prestonsburg loans. Classified loans, which are those categorized as substandard or doubtful, increased $15.7 million, or 33%, compared to March 31, 2019, and were up $7.5 million, or 13%, from June 30, 2018. As a percent of total loans, classified loans were 2.23% at June 30, 2019, compared to 1.73% at March 31, 2019 and 2.07% at June 30, 2018. The increase in classified loans was largely related to acquired First Prestonsburg loans, coupled with downgrades of two commercial loan relationships during the second quarter of 2019.

Nonperforming assets increased $1.9 million, or 11%, compared to March 31, 2019, and were up $2.1 million, or 11%, compared to June 30, 2018. The increase compared to March 31, 2019, was partially due to acquired loans from First Prestonsburg, which comprised $0.7 million of nonperforming assets at June 30, 2019, with the remainder due to smaller relationships that have become past due and are still accruing. Nonperforming assets as a percent of total loans and OREO were 0.71% at June 30, 2019, up from 0.67% at March 31, 2019 and 0.67% at June 30, 2018. Annualized net charge-offs were 0.03% of average total loans for the second quarter of 2019. Annualized net recoveries were 0.15% of average total loans for the linked quarter, which reflected the recognition during the quarter of a $1.8 million recovery on a previously charged-off commercial loan. Annualized net charge-offs were 0.11% of average total loans for the second quarter of 2018. For the first six months of 2019, annualized net recoveries were 0.06% of average total loans, which reflected the large recovery during the first quarter of 2019. Annualized net charge-offs were 0.22% of average total loans for the first six months of 2018, which was higher due to a charge-off of $827,000 on an acquired commercial loan relationship.

At June 30, 2019, the allowance for loan losses increased to $21.4 million, compared to $20.9 million at March 31, 2019 and $19.3 million at June 30, 2018. The increase in the allowance for loan losses compared to March 31, 2019 was minimal due to the decline in originated loans coupled with the lower amount of gross charge-offs. The increase in the allowance for loan losses compared to June 30, 2018 was driven by loan growth. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans declined to 0.75% at June 30, 2019, compared to 0.76% at March 31, 2019 and increased from 0.72% at June 30, 2018. The ratio includes all acquired loans, from both First Prestonsburg and previous acquisitions since 2012, of $659.1 million and allowance for acquired loan losses of $533,000. The increase in the ratio compared to June 30, 2018 was attributable to a combination of loan growth and an increase in the reserve on impaired loans of $802,000.

Deposits:

Period-end deposit balances increased $226.2 million, or 7%, compared to March 31, 2019, and were up $414.4 million, or 14% compared to June 30, 2018, both driven by the deposits acquired from First Prestonsburg. Compared to March 31, 2019, the increase from the acquisition was partially offset by a decline in governmental deposits of $31.9 million, due to seasonality. As of June 30, 2019, the acquired First Prestonsburg deposits added:

◦ $65.3 million of CDs;

◦ $62.8 million of interest-bearing demand accounts;

◦ $55.7 million of savings accounts;

7

◦ $33.4 million of non-interest-bearing demand accounts, and;

◦ $15.1 million of money market accounts.

Average deposit balances during the second quarter of 2019 increased $217.3 million, or 7%, compared to the linked quarter, and $343.6 million, or 12%, from the second quarter of 2018. For the first six months of 2019, average deposits increased $337.9 million, or 12%, compared to the first six months of 2018. Most of the growth compared to the prior periods was related to the acquired First Prestonsburg deposits. Compared to the linked quarter, increases in retail certificates of deposit of $80.6 million and savings accounts of $50.6 million were partially offset by a decline in brokered certificates of deposit of $41.5 million. The increase compared to the second quarter of 2018 was driven by brokered certificates of deposit growth of $85.3 million and retail certificates of deposit growth of $82.2 million. The increase compared to the first six months of 2018 was driven by brokered certificates of deposit growth of $121.2 million and retail certificates of deposit growth of $70.6 million.

Total demand deposit accounts comprised 37% of total deposits at June 30, 2019, compared to 38% at March 31, 2019 and 39% at June 30, 2018.

Stockholders' Equity:

At June 30, 2019, the tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 14.07%, compared to 14.22% at March 31, 2019, and 13.29% at June 30, 2018. The common equity tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.82% at June 30, 2019, compared to 13.96% at March 31, 2019, and 13.03% at June 30, 2018. The total risk-based capital ratio was 14.81% at June 30, 2019, compared to 14.98% at March 31, 2019, and 13.99% at June 30, 2018. These capital ratios were impacted by the First Prestonsburg acquisition, which created increases in capital and risk-weighted assets. In addition, net income earned during the second quarter of 2019 exceeded the dividends declared and paid during the quarter by $2.6 million.

The book value per share grew to $27.98 at June 30, 2019, compared to $27.19 at March 31, 2019, and $25.57 at June 30, 2018. The tangible book value per share, which excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, was $18.89 at June 30, 2019, compared to $19.00 at March 31, 2019, and $17.17 at June 30, 2018. The ratio of total shareholders' equity to total assets was 13.54% at June 30, 2019, compared to 13.32% at March 31, 2019 and 12.57% at June 30, 2018. The tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, which excludes goodwill and other intangible assets, was 9.56% at June 30, 2019, compared to 9.70% at March 31, 2019, and 8.81% at June 30, 2018. The primary contributor to the increase in the book value per share at June 30, 2019 compared to both March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, was the issuance of common stock associated with the First Prestonsburg acquisition. While increases in equity and asset balances were experienced as a result of the First Prestonsburg acquisition, the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio decreased slightly compared to the end of the linked quarter as a result of increased intangible assets associated with the acquisition.

Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 2019 increased $43.9 million, or 8%, compared to March 31, 2019, which was mainly caused by the common shares issued for the First Prestonsburg acquisition, net income of $9.6 million and other comprehensive income of $7.8 million, partially offset by dividends paid of $7.0 million. Other comprehensive income was the result of a higher market value adjustment related to the available-for-sale investment securities portfolio, which was driven by overall declines in market interest rates during the quarter.

Use of Non-US GAAP Financial Measures:

This news release contains financial information and performance measures determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). Management

8

uses these "non-US GAAP" financial measures in its analysis of Peoples' performance and the efficiency of its operations. Management believes that these non-US GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods and peers. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-US GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Below is a listing of the non-US GAAP financial measures used in this news release:

◦ Core non-interest expenses are non-US GAAP since they exclude the impact of acquisition-related expenses and pension settlement charges.

◦ Efficiency ratio is calculated as total non-interest expense (less amortization of other intangible assets) as a percentage of fully tax-equivalent net interest income plus total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses. This measure is non-US GAAP since it excludes amortization of other intangible assets and all gains and/or losses included in earnings, and uses fully tax-equivalent net interest income.

◦ Efficiency ratio adjusted for non-core items is calculated as core non-interest expense (less amortization of other intangible assets) as a percentage of fully tax-equivalent net interest income plus total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses. This measure is non-US GAAP since it excludes the impact of acquisition-related expenses and pension settlement charges, the amortization of other intangible assets and all gains and/or losses included in earnings, and uses fully tax-equivalent net interest income.

◦ Tangible assets, tangible equity and tangible book value per common share measures are non-US GAAP since they exclude the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on both total stockholders' equity and total assets.

◦ Pre-provision net revenue is defined as net interest income plus total non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses, minus total non-interest expense. This measure is non-US GAAP since it excludes the provision for loan losses and all gains and/or losses included in earnings.

◦ Return on average assets adjusted for non-core items is calculated as annualized net income (less the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, and the after-tax impact of all gains and/or losses, acquisition-related expenses, and pension settlement charges) divided by average assets. This measure is non-US GAAP since it excludes the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, and the after-tax impact of all gains and/or losses, acquisition-related expenses, and pension settlement charges.

◦ Return on average tangible stockholders' equity is calculated as annualized net income (less after-tax impact of amortization of other intangible assets) divided by tangible stockholders' equity. This measure is non-US GAAP since it excludes the after-tax impact of amortization of other intangible assets from earnings and the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired through acquisitions on total stockholders' equity.

A reconciliation of these non-US GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included at the end of this news release under the caption of "Non-US GAAP Financial Measures."
