2 Legal Disclaimers Forward-Looking Statements. This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements express management’s current expectations, estimates or projections of future events, results or long-term goals. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding the proposed merger between Civista Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”), Civista Bank (the “Bank”) and The Farmers Savings Bank (“Farmers”) and the concurrent proposed underwritten follow-on public offering of the Company’s common shares, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should” or other similar expressions. All statements in this material speak only as of the date they were made, and we undertake no obligation to update any statement except to the extent required by law. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and could cause actual results or performance to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or performance to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include: • • • • • • risks related to the merger, including the risk that we may fail to complete the merger on the terms and timing currently contemplated or at all, and/or to realize the expected benefits of the merger; the risk that integration of Farmers may divert the attention of the management teams of the Company and Farmers and cause a loss of momentum in their ongoing businesses; the risk of unforeseen and underestimated liabilities of Farmers that may exist; business disruptions or loss of key employees in connection with the merger; adverse developments in the equity markets or overall economy could affect the trading price of the Company’s common shares and the ability to complete the proposed follow-on offering on favorable terms or at all; and the other risks identified from time to time in our public filings with the SEC, including those risks identified in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part II of the Company’s Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Important Additional Information and Where to Find it. In connection with the proposed merger, the Company expects to file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4 that will include relevant documents concerning the proposed merger. Shareholders of Farmers are urged to read the Form S-4 and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC carefully and in their entirety when they become available, because they will contain important information about the proposed merger, and the respective companies. Once filed, these documents will be available at no charge on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) and on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website.

Registration Statement; No Offer or Solicitation. This presentation is for informational purposes only and is not intended to, and shall not, constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction. .

These non- GAAP financial measures include “Tangible Common Equity,” “Tangible Book Value Per Share,” “Tangible Assets,” “Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets,” and “Return on Tangible Common Equity.” The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company’s profitability. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Not all companies use the same calculation of these measures; therefore, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as presented by other companies.

22 Q2 Snapshot 1) Our net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was positively impacted by non-recurring adjustments to our loan valuation resulting from a core system conversion during the second quarter, which positively impacted net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 by approximately $0.6 million on a pre-tax basis, and the release of a reserve established in Q3 2024 for a reconciling item associated with a system conversion, which positively impacted net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 by approximately $0.3 million on a pre-tax basis.
