Item 2.02 - Results of Operations and Financial Condition
OnApril 21, 2023 ,Park National Corporation ("Park") issued a news release (the "Financial Results News Release") announcing financial results for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 . 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 inthe 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 comparableU.S. GAAP financial measures, as well as the reconciliation to the comparableU.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 Financial Measures 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, tangible book value per common 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, tangible book value per common share and pre-tax, pre-provision net income for the three months ended and atMarch 31, 2023 ,December 31, 2022 andMarch 31, 2022 . For the purpose 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 tangible book value per common 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 case during the applicable period. 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, tangible book value per common 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 withU.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, tangible book value per common 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, book value per common share and net income, respectively, as determined in accordance withU.S. GAAP. FTE (fully taxable equivalent) Financial Measures 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. . . .

Park's deposits grew during the pandemic and normalized throughout 2022. In order to manage the impact of this growth on its balance sheet, Park has utilized a program where certain deposit balances are transferred off balance sheet while maintaining the customer relationship. Park is able to increase or decrease the amount off balance sheet based on its balance sheet management strategies and liquidity needs. The balance of deposits transferred off balance sheet has declined as deposit 4 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
