On January 24, 2023, management of Peoples Bancorp Inc. ("Peoples") conducted a
facilitated conference call at approximately 11:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time,
to discuss results of operations for the quarter and twelve months ended

Peoples' website, www.peoplesbancorp.com, in the "Investor Relations" section
for one year. A copy of the transcript of the conference call is included as
Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information contained in this Item 2.02 and Exhibit 99.1 included with this
Current Report on Form 8-K, is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall
not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to
the liabilities of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed to be
incorporated by reference in any registration statement or other document filed

performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of
Peoples' peers. The following tables show the differences between the non-US
