We vowed that we would learn to manage through the pandemic so we would be available to serve our customers every day. Moreover, we would make our facilities the safest place for our employees and customers to work and visit. Little did we know that this decision, along with some prior preparation, would set us up to have the largest growth the company has ever experienced. Over the past two years, we achieved organic growth of approxi- mately $4.0 billion—which is similar to buying a $4.0 billion bank without paying for it or incurring the asso- ciated transaction costs. Our employees, branches, systems and capital have absorbed this large growth without any problems, and we intend to build on the momentum that this has created for our company. We were well prepared to meet the challenges of operating through the pandemic and to serve our customers and communities. We had already made excellent customer service a top priority, with one of our pre-2020 initiatives being the training of our employees by Horst Schulze, cofounder of The Ritz- Carlton Hotel Company and renowned legend in the customer service arena. In addition, since we had recently updated our company website, we were able to communicate with our customers at a moment’s notice, and we were able to put the Payment Protec- tion Program (PPP) application on our digital loan (cid:81)la(cid:85)(cid:71)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:78)(cid:1)(cid:84)(cid:80)(cid:1)c(cid:86)(cid:84)(cid:85)(cid:80)(cid:78)e(cid:83)(cid:84)(cid:1)c(cid:80)(cid:86)l(cid:69)(cid:1)fill(cid:1)(cid:80)(cid:86)(cid:85)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)e(cid:1)a(cid:81)(cid:81)lica(cid:85)i(cid:80)n(cid:1) on their cell phone or computer and immediately send it to us for processing. Our employees worked through each night to rapidly process the PPP loans. We quickly received statewide recognition for this effort, which brought customers to us from other banks that couldn’t process their applica- tions. When these new customers asked us to do their PPP loans, we asked them for all their business, and in most cases, we got it. Over the last two years, we have originated $970.9 million in PPP loans. During the same time, we also originated $142.0 million in Main Street Lending Program loans.

Historically, we would open about 5,000 net new accounts per year. In 2020, we opened just under 12,000 net new accounts, and in 2021, we opened over 16,000. With the PPP loans and net new accounts came additional loans and trust accounts. During 2021, we originated $1.1 billion in secondary market mortgage loans for more than 3,900 fami- lies across Texas, and we grew the market value of trust assets managed to $8.7 billion. Regarding these accomplishments, I want to say that I could not be prouder of our team of professional bankers, who rose to the occasion to make the last two years so successful.

FINANCIAL RESULTS Last year marked our 35th consecutive year of increased earnings. Net income for 2021 grew 12.6 percent to $227.6 million from $202.0 million in 2020. Contrib- uting to this increase were fees from the PPP loans an(cid:69)(cid:1)(cid:84)i(cid:72)nifican(cid:85)(cid:1)(cid:72)(cid:83)(cid:80)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:1)in(cid:1)in(cid:85)e(cid:83)e(cid:84)(cid:85)(cid:14)ea(cid:83)nin(cid:72)(cid:1)a(cid:84)(cid:84)e(cid:85)(cid:84)(cid:1)(cid:71)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)e(cid:1) year. Diluted earnings per share for 2021 rose to $1.59 from $1.42 in 2020. With the continued low interest rate environment, our net interest margin, on a tax- equivalent basis, decreased to 3.40 percent in 2021 from 3.79 percent in 2020. (The net interest margin is a(cid:1)(cid:76)e(cid:90)(cid:1)(cid:81)(cid:83)(cid:80)fi(cid:85)abili(cid:85)(cid:90)(cid:1)(cid:78)e(cid:85)(cid:83)ic(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)a(cid:85)(cid:1)e(cid:89)(cid:81)(cid:83)e(cid:84)(cid:84)e(cid:84)(cid:1)ne(cid:85)(cid:1)in(cid:85)e(cid:83)e(cid:84)(cid:85)(cid:1) income on a tax-equivalent basis as a percentage of average interest-earning assets.) Our net interest margin was a very respectable result and placed us in the 75th percentile of our peer group of bank holding companies. The provision for credit losses, including provisions for unfunded commitments, was a negative $1.1 million for 2021, down from a positive $19.5 million for 2020. This large decrease was due primarily to the improvement of the Texas economy and our credit quality. We adopted a new accounting standard for estimating allowances for credit losses on January 1, 2020. (This accounting standard, issued by the Finan- cial Accounting Standards Board and called Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL), requires companies to calculate their bad-debt reserves using forward- looking information. Before CECL, companies were permitted to estimate their bad-debt reserves using historical data.)

Noninterest income grew 1.6 percent to $142.2 million from $139.9 million. The growth was due primarily to increases in trust income, service charges, interest on loan recoveries and interchange fees, which were partially offset by a $10.6 million decline in the gain on sale of secondary market mortgage loans. Noninterest expense rose 6.0 percent to $241.7 million from $227.9 million. That increase was due mainly to employee sala- ries, equipment expense, interchange expense, adver- tising, public relations, FDIC assessments, operating losses sustained and software amortization.

First Financial Trust & Asset Management again deliv- ered solid results, which were fueled by a large growth in trust assets and higher oil and gas prices. Total trust assets under management at year-end reached a book value of $5.9 billion, an 8.9 percent increase from $5.4 billion at the end of 2020. The market value of the trust assets totaled $8.7 billion, up 15.8 percent from $7.5 billion at year-end 2020. Total trust fee income for 2021 grew as well—to $36.1 million from $29.5 million—a 22.4 percent gain. The trust company’s net after-tax earnings increased 22.5 percent to $17.7 million from $14.5 million.

FINANCIAL RESULTS Last year marked our 35th consecutive year of increased earnings. Net income for 2021 grew 12.6 percent to $227.6 million from $202.0 million in 2020. Contrib- uting to this increase were fees from the PPP loans an(cid:69)(cid:1)(cid:84)i(cid:72)nifican(cid:85)(cid:1)(cid:72)(cid:83)(cid:80)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:73)(cid:1)in(cid:1)in(cid:85)e(cid:83)e(cid:84)(cid:85)(cid:14)ea(cid:83)nin(cid:72)(cid:1)a(cid:84)(cid:84)e(cid:85)(cid:84)(cid:1)(cid:71)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)e(cid:1) year. Diluted earnings per share for 2021 rose to $1.59 from $1.42 in 2020. With the continued low interest rate environment, our net interest margin, on a tax- equivalent basis, decreased to 3.40 percent in 2021 from 3.79 percent in 2020. (The net interest margin is a(cid:1)(cid:76)e(cid:90)(cid:1)(cid:81)(cid:83)(cid:80)fi(cid:85)abili(cid:85)(cid:90)(cid:1)(cid:78)e(cid:85)(cid:83)ic(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:73)a(cid:85)(cid:1)e(cid:89)(cid:81)(cid:83)e(cid:84)(cid:84)e(cid:84)(cid:1)ne(cid:85)(cid:1)in(cid:85)e(cid:83)e(cid:84)(cid:85)(cid:1) income on a tax-equivalent basis as a percentage of average interest-earning assets.) Our net interest margin was a very respectable result and placed us in the 75th percentile of our peer group of bank holding companies. The provision for credit losses, including provisions for unfunded commitments, was a negative $1.1 million for 2021, down from a positive $19.5 million for 2020. This large decrease was due primarily to the improvement of the Texas economy and our credit quality. We adopted a new accounting standard for estimating allowances for credit losses on January 1, 2020. (This accounting standard, issued by the Finan- cial Accounting Standards Board and called Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL), requires companies to calculate their bad-debt reserves using forward- looking information. Before CECL, companies were permitted to estimate their bad-debt reserves using historical data.) Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and foreclosed assets totaled 0.63 percent at December 31, 2021, compared with 0.83 percent at December 31, (cid:19)(cid:17)(cid:19)(cid:17)(cid:15)(cid:1)(cid:36)la(cid:84)(cid:84)ifie(cid:69)(cid:1)l(cid:80)an(cid:84)(cid:1)(cid:85)(cid:80)(cid:85)ale(cid:69)(cid:1)(cid:5)(cid:18)(cid:23)(cid:18)(cid:15)(cid:19)(cid:1)(cid:78)illi(cid:80)n(cid:1)a(cid:85)(cid:1)(cid:90)ea(cid:83)(cid:14)en(cid:69)(cid:1) 2021 compared with $197.5 million a year earlier. Noninterest income grew 1.6 percent to $142.2 million from $139.9 million. The growth was due primarily to increases in trust income, service charges, interest on loan recoveries and interchange fees, which were partially offset by a $10.6 million decline in the gain on sale of secondary market mortgage loans. Noninterest expense rose 6.0 percent to $241.7 million from $227.9 million. That increase was due mainly to employee sala- ries, equipment expense, interchange expense, adver- tising, public relations, FDIC assessments, operating losses sustained and software amortization.

First Financial Trust & Asset Management again deliv- ered solid results, which were fueled by a large growth in trust assets and higher oil and gas prices. Total trust assets under management at year-end reached a book value of $5.9 billion, an 8.9 percent increase from $5.4 billion at the end of 2020. The market value of the trust assets totaled $8.7 billion, up 15.8 percent from $7.5 billion at year-end 2020. Total trust fee income for 2021 grew as well—to $36.1 million from $29.5 million—a 22.4 percent gain. The trust company’s net after-tax earnings increased 22.5 percent to $17.7 million from $14.5 million.

Because of nationwide supply chain delays, we are several months behind and hope to have the building completed by the third quarter of 2022. In April 2021, the company moved its Tech- nology, Training and Customer Care Centers into a 52,800-square-foot newly remodeled operations center in south Abilene.

We expect to complete these two projects in the third quarter of 2022. In February 2022, First Financial Bank’s Southeast Texas Region announced that it had purchased property in Lumberton and started construction on a 3,300-square-foot bank building with three motor banking lanes and an ATM lane. Lumberton has an excellent school district and is a fast-growing city 10 miles from Beaumont. We look forward to being part of the city’s growth. We anticipate the completion date for this project will be the fourth quarter of this year.

In April 2021, the company moved its Tech- nology, Training and Customer Care Centers into a 52,800-square-foot newly remodeled operations center in south Abilene.

We expect to complete these two projects in the third quarter of 2022. In February 2022, First Financial Bank’s Southeast Texas Region announced that it had purchased property in Lumberton and started construction on a 3,300-square-foot bank building with three motor banking lanes and an ATM lane. Lumberton has an excellent school district and is a fast-growing city 10 miles from Beaumont. We look forward to being part of the city’s growth.

Butler II Chairman and CEO Marelyn Shedd President Abilene In spite of challenges in 2021, including COVID, lingering supply chain issues and a tight labor market, the future is paved with promise for the Abilene Region. Abilene has broken ground on several new projects, including a new 17,000-square-foot, 200-room DoubleTree Hotel that will be adjacent to the Abilene Convention Center; a new Great Lakes Cheese plant with a $185 million investment by the company in a 286,500-square-foot facility, which represents its ninth location in the country; a 71,000-square-foot Amazon warehouse delivery location; and a $2.4 billion data center to host bitcoin mining. Hendrick Medical Center completed the acquisition of two additional hospitals, and First Financial Bank has been honored to be involved in several expansion projects with local universities as well as a low-income housing project located at S. 9th and Butternut in Abilene that will consist of 29 units to serve our senior population who earn below the median income. In addition, Sweetwater has announced the expansion of a new Georgia (cid:49)acific(cid:1)(cid:40)(cid:90)(cid:81)(cid:84)(cid:86)(cid:78)(cid:1)(cid:81)lan(cid:85)(cid:1)c(cid:80)n(cid:84)i(cid:84)(cid:85)in(cid:72)(cid:1)(cid:80)(cid:71)(cid:1)a(cid:1)(cid:24)(cid:17)(cid:17)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:17)(cid:17)(cid:14)(cid:84)(cid:82)(cid:86)a(cid:83)e(cid:14)(cid:71)(cid:80)(cid:80)(cid:85)(cid:1)(cid:88)allb(cid:80)a(cid:83)(cid:69)(cid:1)(cid:81)lan(cid:85)(cid:1) with a $300 million investment by the company. This expansion will boost the continued effort to bring more jobs, housing and growth in Sweetwater. To our west, Odessa’s economy continues to boom with the ongoing increase in oil and gas demand and, to our east, Eastland County continues to expand thanks to a bustling industrial park and airport in Eastland, expanded programs offered by Cisco College and Ranger College, and the revitalizations of their downtown areas.

Butler II Chairman and CEO Marelyn Shedd President Abilene and a tight labor market, the future is paved with promise for the Abilene Region. Abilene has broken ground on several new projects, including a new 17,000-square-foot, 200-room DoubleTree Hotel that will be adjacent to the Abilene Convention Center; a new Great Lakes Cheese plant with a $185 million investment by the company in a 286,500-square-foot facility, which represents its ninth location in the country; a 71,000-square-foot Amazon warehouse delivery location; and a $2.4 billion data center to host bitcoin mining. Hendrick Medical Center completed the acquisition of two additional hospitals, and First Financial Bank has been honored to be involved in several expansion projects with local universities as well as a low-income housing project located at S. 9th and Butternut in Abilene that will consist of 29 units to serve our senior population who earn below the median income.

To our west, Odessa’s economy continues to boom with the ongoing increase in oil and gas demand and, to our east, Eastland County continues to expand thanks to a bustling industrial park and airport in Eastland, expanded programs offered by Cisco College and Ranger College, and the revitalizations of their downtown areas.

It will be hard to forget, because so many of the challenges from 2020 were still in place, but it was also a year of new opportunities. Fort Worth became the 12th largest city in the country as a result of rapid population growth and corporate relocations to our area. The increasing business activity created opportunities for promotions and new hires to join our growing team, which delivered the region’s best year-to-date. Aside from all the new loans and deposits we gained, the most meaningful and exciting pieces were the new relationships we formed. These new relationships across the city remain the foundation of our success and identity. While banking can be different in a metro market versus a rural town, the one constant that always wins is pursuing excellence. Taking care of our business, team members and community never changes. I am proud of everything we accomplished in 2021, but even more excited about the opportunities ahead of us.

Baker Chairman The Conroe Region continued to excel in 2021 with strong loan, deposit and account growth. In these unprecedented times, our team continues to adapt to the challenges in front of them, while keeping these changes transparent to the customer. Thanks to our high level of customer service and branch availability, deposits surged over $130 million in 2021 and the region’s account base increased by over 10 percent. We loaned over $350 million in Montgomery and Walker counties and served our customers with additional PPP loans to assist in keeping their businesses open and preserving jobs. Our dedicated team is the reason for our continued growth and outstanding performance.

We put Chris Baughman President and CEO our customers FIRST. We had a wonderful year for the Fort Worth Region in 2021. It will be hard to forget, because so many of the challenges from 2020 were still in place, but it was also a year of new opportunities. Fort Worth became the 12th largest city in the country as a result of rapid population growth and corporate relocations to our area. The increasing business activity created opportunities for promotions and new hires to join our growing team, which delivered the region’s best year-to-date. Aside from all the new loans and deposits we gained, the most meaningful and exciting pieces were the new relationships we formed. These new relationships across the city remain the foundation of our success and identity. While banking can be different in a metro market versus a rural town, the one constant that always wins is pursuing excellence. Taking care of our business, team members and community never changes. I am proud of everything we accomplished in 2021, but even more excited about the opportunities ahead of us.

With these new hires, we will be able to expand our services to better serve our current and future customers.

All of this could not have been achieved without our commitment to our customers and our excellent team of bankers. Our team stands ready to put You First! We are genuinely humbled by the incredible efforts and focus that paved the way to another record year in 2021 for our Southeast Texas Region. The year included many ongoing challenges with COVID and disaster recovery efforts following the impact of unprecedented weather events. Driven by our collective commitment to service excellence, our team established incredible momentum throughout the year. Our lending team delivered an additional $45 million in PPP loans to support Southeast Texas businesses and a record-setting $350 million in traditional loans. Deposit growth remained robust and our board agreed to expand our regional presence by adding a new branch in Lumberton, which is the fastest growing city in our region. We expect our new branch to give us incremental growth opportunities for years to come. We are thrilled with our operating results in 2021, but even more excited about the momentum we are creating, and thankful to our customers for allowing us the opportunity to serve their banking needs.

Southeast Texas Region | Annual Report 2021 | 25 3/14/2022 2:00:45 PM SAN ANGELO REGION Our team of dedicated and professional bankers again rose to the opportunity and achieved another record-setting year.

This grew our total assets to over $1 billion and generated another year of increased earnings. All of this could not have been achieved without our commitment to our customers and our excellent team of bankers. Our team stands ready to put You First! We are genuinely humbled by the incredible efforts and focus that paved the way to another record year in 2021 for our Southeast Texas Region. The year included many ongoing challenges with COVID and disaster recovery efforts following the impact of unprecedented weather events. Driven by our collective commitment to service excellence, our team established incredible momentum throughout the year. Our lending team delivered an additional $45 million in PPP loans to support Southeast Texas businesses and a record-setting $350 million in traditional loans. Deposit growth remained robust and our board agreed to expand our regional presence by adding a new branch in Lumberton, which is the fastest growing city in our region. We expect our new branch to give us incremental growth opportunities for years to come. We are thrilled with our operating results in 2021, but even more excited about the momentum we are creating, and thankful to our customers for allowing us the opportunity to serve their banking needs.

We were able to navigate an additional phase of PPP loans, while also working with our customers to get many of those loans from 2020 forgiven. On top of this effort, we were also able to grow this region at a rapid rate. We saw fantastic loan and deposit growth and have tremendous momentum heading into 2022. The communities we serve continue to see growth due to our vibrant economy, great school districts and an incredible quality of life that is available just a few minutes west of Fort Worth. Our dedicated and professional bankers have worked tirelessly to support our customers through additional waves of the pandemic and ensured that we have remained open and ready to serve each customer. This is certainly evident in Mineral Wells, where our customers voted us as “Best of Palo Pinto County” in the banking sector. We look to 2022 with great excitement and stand ready to assist our customers with their banking needs, while delivering unparalleled You First customer service.

We were able to navigate an additional phase of PPP loans, while also working with our customers to get many of those loans from 2020 forgiven. On top of this effort, we were also able to grow this region at a rapid rate. We saw fantastic loan and deposit growth and have tremendous momentum heading into 2022. The communities we serve continue to see growth due to our vibrant economy, great school districts and an incredible quality of life that is available just a few minutes west of Fort Worth. Our dedicated and professional bankers have worked tirelessly to support our customers through additional waves of the pandemic and ensured that we have remained open and ready to serve each customer. This is certainly evident in Mineral Wells, where our customers voted us as “Best of Palo Pinto County” in the banking sector. We look to 2022 with great excitement and stand ready to assist our customers with their banking needs, while delivering unparalleled You First customer service.

In expected fashion, bank employees, including Line of Business Executives, mobilized their teams to open branches that had power to make sure our customers were served. Although our main building in Abilene had no heat or water, the teams from the Customer Care Center, Treasury Management, and Technology came to work each day, braved the elements and made sure all calls were answered, wires sent out, payrolls made and customers taken care of. During our recent ice storm in 2022, when most businesses were closed, all of our 78 locations remained open to serve our customers. This is a testament to our people who are so dedicated to make sure we put You First! Led by Frank Gioia, the Customer Care Center implemented a new online account opening system in early 2021, resulting in a 46 percent growth in accounts opened online. Under Monica Houston’s leadership, the retail group’s commitment to exemplary customer service resulted in more than 16,000 net new accounts opened, a single-year record for the bank. They also saved the bank nearly $2 million in losses by recognizing and stopping several fraud attempts. Her training team completed 148 training sessions across the lines of business. Mike Wolverton and the consumer and in-house mortgage lending group grew loans by 28 percent, surpassing more than $1 billion. His group closed 12,304 loans for $676 million in volume. Treasury Management (TM), led by Andrea Smiddy-Schlagel, turned in another record-setting sales year. Newer technology and updated systems provided clients with an enhanced experience. TM also strengthened its sales team company-wide with the addition of Stephen Flores as Senior Vice President, Sales Manager. Brandon Harris and the Appraisal Services Team worked closely with appraisal vendors to help minimize the delays the storm placed on the real estate industry and keep the processes on schedule. New construction, renovations and enhancements were plentiful for Gary Milliorn. The bank completed a 52,800-square-foot remodel of the new Operations Center in Abilene.

Bank Directors’ Loan Committee: Murray Edwards, Chairman Certain statements contained in this annual report may be considered “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based upon the belief of the Company’s management, as well as assumptions made beyond information currently available to the Company’s management, and may be, but not necessarily are, identified by such words as “believes,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “target,” “forecast” and “goal”. Because such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include competition from other financial institutions and financial holding companies: the effects of and changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board; changes in the demand for loans, fluctuations in value of collateral and loan reserves; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; changes in consumer spending, borrowing or saving habits; and acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses, and similar variables. Other key risks are described in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which may be obtained under “Investor Relations-Documents and Filings” on the Company’s website or by writing or calling the Company at 325.627.7155. Except as otherwise stated in this annual report, the Company does not undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements because of new information, future events or otherwise.
