2022 ANNUAL REPORT Core Beliefs: What Makes Us Us The enduring nature of our Company’s Mission, Vision, and Values define why we do what we do, and the way we do. They give weight and purpose to each of our interactions with clients, co-workers, and communities. Mission: The Focus of Every Action We Take We help people and their money work better together. Vision: Our North Star and Ultimate Goal To be the most relevant everyday experience our clients have with their money. Values: The Principles We Live By People First, Always Seek Greatness Integrity Celebrate Success Commitment to Community Service Commitments: Our Delivery Standards Build Relationships Be Memorable Lead by Example See the Good Lend a Hand Stronger Together February 1, 2022, marked a historic moment for First Interstate when the acquisition of Great Western Bancorp, Inc. was completed—a mere five months after announcing our intent to merge. This partnership transformed First Interstate’s landscape from six to 14 states. Consideration for the acquisition totaled approximately $1.7 billion, consisting of the issuance of 46.9 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock valued at $36.76 per share (the opening price of the Company’s Class A common stock as quoted on the NASDAQ stock market on the acquisition date). The acquisition enabled us to sunset our previous dual-class stock structure, which occurred on the record date for the 2022 annual shareholder meeting. At that time, all Class B common stock was converted 1:1 into Class A common stock. Great Western Bank was merged with our existing bank subsidiary, First Interstate Bank, contemporaneously with the closing of the parent company merger, increasing total branch locations to over 300. The core system conversion was completed on May 23, 2022. Our expansion into the Midwest exceeded initial performance projections. “We executed well on the integration of Great Western, realizing the cost synergies projected for the transaction while generating solid organic loan growth throughout our footprint,” said Kevin P. Riley, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. “We continue to see opportunities with our newer markets helping us generate strong organic growth.” For the year ending December 31, 2022, the Company reported net income of $202.2 million, or $1.96 per diluted share, compared to $192.1 million, or $3.11 per diluted share, in 2021. Results in the 2022 and 2021 periods include pre-tax acquisition costs related to the GWB acquisition of $118.9 million and $11.6 million, respectively, which reduced earnings by $0.90 and $0.15 per common share for December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. arizona colorado idaho ioWa kanSaS minneSota miSSouri montana nebraSka north dakota oregon South dakota WaShington Wyoming 2022 Annual Report 1 To Our Shareholders The year 2022 was nothing short of transformative for First Interstate Bank, as we expanded our footprint into eight new states and continued executing on our mission to help people and their money work better together. We are proud to now promote that mission across 14 states. While serving our clients, we continued to support our employees and our communities in new and meaningful ways. The result was improved financial performance, increased shareholder value, and a financial institution poised to enter 2023 in a position of strength and stability. Expanding Our Footprint In February 2022, we closed our acquisition of Great Western Bank, creating a regional financial institution with $32 billion in assets. Now operating under the strong First Interstate brand, our acquisition experience coupled with the cultural similarities of the two organizations enabled a smooth integration of Great Western systems and staff. Headed into 2023, with the integration now behind us, we can focus on the opportunity for continued growth and potential revenue synergies. Even throughout closing and integration, we experienced growth in our expanded footprint, as healthy markets and stable economic conditions supported loan demand. Credit quality also improved, with significant reductions in criticized loans since our February closing and faster-than- expected resolution of acquired problem loans at notably smaller losses than we initially planned, saving our shareholders’ capital. Our overall operating performance, partially through the full realization of expected cost synergies, was reflected in our adjusted fourth quarter financial metrics as presented in our investor presentation. These metrics establish a strong base to build from as we begin the new year. Managing Capital Strategically Our capital levels are robust, and our organic capital generation remains strong. As such, during the year, we were able to repurchase 5 million shares of our common stock for an average share price of $39.46, and in the fourth quarter we raised our quarterly common stock dividend nearly 15%, to $0.47 per share from $0.41 per share previously. We are proud of the strong recurring yield this dividend provides to our shareholders, which stood at 4.4% at year-end. Furthermore, as of year-end, capital levels continued to remain above our internal targets, affording us flexibility to maximize shareholder value going forward. Putting People First First Interstate Bank takes pride in our core value of “People First, Always.” As the Bank grew in 2022, we kept this value front and center, seeking opportunities to take care of our employees, our communities, and our clients in all 14 states. Early in the year, as we sought ways to relieve inflationary pressures and combat elevated gas prices impacting our employees, we provided a monthly fuel stipend to employees making $65,000 or less. As fuel prices began to abate, we reflected the increase as a permanent change, increasing our minimum wage from $15 to $17 across our footprint. Recognizing that with growth comes a new level of responsibility to our communities, we celebrated our acquisition by making a $21.5 million donation to the First Interstate BancSystem Foundation. This donation allowed us to allocate $1 million for 2022 Annual Report 2 First Interstate enters 2023 healthy and vibrant, as a regional financial institution with an enthusiastic workforce dedicated to our mission. While the coming year is likely to be incrementally more challenging from a macro-economic perspective, we are confident in our ability to continue delivering results to our shareholders. Above all else, our management team maintains a steadfast commitment to our time-tested set of guiding principles, as we diligently pursue long-term value for all our constituents. Sincerely, Kevin P. Riley President & CEO First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. our inaugural “Believe in Local” campaign, which awarded $25,000 grants to employee-nominated organizations across our footprint. We continued our time-honored tradition of hosting a Volunteer Day, holding our fifth annual event across the expanded service area in September. Understanding that taking care of our clients is critical to our success, we remained committed to ensuring access to relevant products and services through multiple delivery channels. With our clients’ financial well-being in mind, we eliminated non-sufficient funds fees, reduced overdraft fees for consumers and businesses, offered a checkless product with online access and no ability to overdraw, provided competitive deposit products in a rising rate environment, and introduced a specialized app to address increasing fraud concerns for our debit card clients. We also continued to invest in our digital banking offerings, increasing automation and access for both consumer and business banking clients. Looking to Our Future Time and again, taking care of our employees, communities, and clients has proven to be a powerful combination—one that has enabled First Interstate Bank to take care of another set of stakeholders: our valued shareholders. We believe our balance sheet remains well positioned to weather macro-economic uncertainty and allows us, as always, to pursue responsible long-term growth rather than short-term gains, the latter of which often brings greater risk. Our foundation is built on our reputation for consistent, steady performance and a strong risk culture. 2022 Annual Report 3 Our Values in Action Meeting the needs of the communities we serve is central to First Interstate’s mission. We had ample opportunity to do this in a variety of ways in 2022. Our Employees Our employees are our most important asset. We believe engaged employees impact client experience, strengthen our communities, and deliver long-term results for our stakeholders. Leading and taking care of our people—especially in difficult times—is what we do. Rising fuel costs burdened many of our employees, especially those with longer commutes. To give our team members a hand up, we provided eligible employees a temporary fuel stipend of $130 per month from April through September. Knowing that inflation affects more than just fuel costs, in September, we raised our minimum wage from $15 to $17 an hour. These two initiatives resulted in $7 million of additional income for our hard working employees. Investing in our employees goes beyond providing additional income; it also comes through providing enrichment opportunities. At First Interstate, we believe we have a responsibility to foster a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) not only in our Company, but within the communities where we live and work. To demonstrate our commitment to this, our President and CEO Kevin Riley signed the CEO Action Pledge for Diversity and Inclusion—the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion within the workplace. We are committed to making our workplaces trusting places to have complex, and sometimes difficult, conversations and regularly provide employees with opportunities to expand their horizons and learn more, be it through education or training. Our DEI Council, 2022 Annual Report 4 led by a full-time DEI Specialist, is committed to the philosophy that when no one is left behind, everyone moves forward. Our Clients Community banking is more than a functional transaction with our clients. Of much greater importance—and lasting value—is the experience our clients have with us. We are privileged to work with people in our communities to connect their needs, goals, and dreams to the products and services that answer them best. In 2022, we identified several ways to improve our clients’ experience. On April 1, we significantly revised our overdraft practices—eliminating non-sufficient funds fees as well as reducing overdraft fees. We now provide a grace amount of $50 before any fees are assessed and do not assess overdraft charges for purchases under $5. We eliminated continuous overdraft fees and transfer fees between deposit accounts, providing free transfers from savings to checking accounts to cover overdrafts. certified since April 2022 First Interstate Bank Simple Banking National Account Standards 2021–2022 Approved We also introduced a new account, Simple Banking, aimed at helping those in our communities who are un- or under-banked gain greater financial security. Clients primarily access their account using a debit card, online banking, an ATM, or visiting a branch. This new account is certified by Bank On, led by the Cities for Financial Empowerment (CFE) Fund, a nonprofit that helps connect consumers to safe and affordable bank accounts. When an account is Bank On certified, consumers know it has features they are looking for, including low or no fees, no overdraft charges, online bill pay, and other basic attributes— giving them more confidence to begin or restart their banking relationship with the right tools to manage their money. Our Communities Community is our mission in action. We actively participate in local initiatives, projects, and activities within our markets, often assisting with coordination, leadership, and resources. We make loans where our clients live and work, helping local businesses and communities thrive. In 2022, our community development lending exceeded $389 million and focused on projects that support affordable housing, economic development, community services, and revitalization efforts. We’re also “all-in” when it comes to giving back with time, money, and heart. Each year, First Interstate commits 2% of its net income before taxes to charitable giving. These funds aid in the improvement of workforce development, boost early childhood education, improve financial literacy across all age groups, and mitigate poverty, among other worthwhile initiatives. Together with our First Interstate BancSystem Foundation, we gifted $7.8 million in 2022. Of the over 1,000 nonprofits who received support from the Foundation, over 55% focus on poverty and serve low-to-moderate income individuals. In concert with the Great Western Bank merger, First Interstate Bank made a $21.5 million donation to the First Interstate BancSystem Foundation to deploy meaningful and relevant assistance across our expanded footprint. This gift enabled us to launch our inaugural “Believe in Local” grant program. In just over two months, First Interstate Bank, in partnership with the First Interstate BancSystem Foundation, awarded $1 million in grants, celebrating our commitment to the communities we serve. Employee nominations helped us identify 40 impactful nonprofit organizations across our 14-state footprint, each receiving a $25,000 gift to further their mission. Check out this video for highlights from this year’s campaign. On our fifth annual Volunteer Day, held in September 2022, we once again closed all Bank locations at noon so employees could volunteer in their local communities. Over 3,200 employees volunteered 12,700 hours, helping nearly 400 organizations across our 14-state footprint.

Our Company Item 1. Business We are a financial and bank holding company focused on community banking. Since our incorporation in Montana in 1971, we have grown both organically and through strategic acquisitions, most recently through our acquisition on February 1, 2022 of Great Western Bancorp, Inc. (“Great Western”) and its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Great Western Bank (“GWB”). As of December 31, 2022, we operated 307 banking offices, including detached drive-up facilities, in communities across 14 states—Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming. For additional information regarding the Great Western and GWB acquisition see Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Information and Results of Operations—Recent Trends and Developments.” Through our bank subsidiary, First Interstate Bank, we deliver a comprehensive range of banking products and services —including online and mobile banking—to individuals, businesses, municipalities, and others throughout our market areas. We are proud to provide lending opportunities to clients that participate in a wide variety of industries, including: • Agriculture • Construction • Education • Governmental services • Healthcare • Hospitality • Housing • Professional services • Real Estate Development • Retail • Technology • Tourism • Technology • Wholesale trade 2 We completed a recapitalization of our previously-existing common stock in March 2010, pursuant to which we effected a 4-for-1 split of our previously-existing common stock, a redesignation of our previously-existing common stock into Class B common stock, which was entitled to five votes per share, and the creation of a new class of common stock designated as Class A common stock, which has been since creation and continues to be entitled to one vote per share. Holders of Class B common stock and Class A common stock voted together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, except as otherwise required by law or by our articles of incorporation. The recapitalization was completed in preparation for our initial public offering, or IPO, of Class A common stock later that same month on the NASDAQ stock market, or NASDAQ, under the symbol “FIBK.” Since our IPO, we have expanded our market reach through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, including our acquisitions of Mountain West Bank, United Bank, N.A., Flathead Bank of Bigfork, Bank of the Cascades, Inland Northwest Bank, Idaho Independent Bank, Community 1st Bank, and most recently, as mentioned above, GWB. At the record date for our first annual stockholders’ meeting following the completion of the GWB acquisition, all outstanding shares and rights to acquire shares of Class B common stock were automatically converted into the same number of outstanding shares and rights to acquire the same number of shares, as applicable, of Class A common stock. As a result, we now have only one class of common stock outstanding and issuable upon exercise of outstanding rights to acquire common stock, all with equivalent voting rights: namely, Class A common stock. As of December 31, 2022, we had consolidated assets of $32.3 billion, deposits of $25.1 billion, loans held for investment of $18.1 billion, and total stockholders’ equity of $3.1 billion. Our mission is to help people and their money work better together. With that as our guiding focus, we strive to be the most relevant everyday experience our clients have with their money. With our focus on community banking, we adhere to common values that have long provided a foundation for our growth and success: (1) Put people first, always; (2) Seek greatness; (3) Demonstrate integrity; (4) Celebrate success; and (5) Be committed to our communities. These values support our commitment to our employees, our clients, our communities, and our shareholders. Our business model is strategically focused around four key pillars, which help us align, organize, and prioritize business strategies. These pillars guide our actions related to our employees, our clients, and our operations, ultimately leading to our financial success and creating value for our shareholders. • The first pillar is Our People, Our Priority. The success of our Company is a reflection of our people. We are building a diverse company, attracting the right people, retaining them in the right jobs, and developing them to meet our long-term needs. Our people are informed, capable, and resilient. • The second pillar is Relentless Client Focus. Our client loyalty is cultivated by our focus on every interaction, every time. By listening to our clients and learning about their needs, we are better able to connect their goals and dreams to the right products and services. • The third pillar is Future Ready, Today. We live in a world in constant motion, which requires agility and resiliency; adapting our products and processes to be scalable and sustainable is essential. Robust and relevant systems and processes create a foundation for our employees to excel—not only in their personal performance, but in their delivery of our products and services to our clients. • The fourth pillar is Financial Vitality. Our strategic focus on balance sheet management and goal-oriented financial rigor keeps us a top-performing bank. Our emphasis on accountability and our collaborative approach to aligning our efforts under our four pillars allows our community banking model to flourish. By adhering to a strong set of values, we have significantly and strategically grown our business. Our long-term philosophy emphasizes providing high-quality financial products and services, delivering exceptional client service, influencing business leadership within our communities through professional and dedicated bankers, supporting our communities through financial contributions and socially responsible leadership, and cultivating a strong corporate culture. We plan to continue to advance our business in a disciplined and prudent manner, fueled by organic growth in our existing market areas and expansion into new and complementary markets when appropriate acquisition and other opportunities arise. 3 Community Banking We have one operating segment—community banking. Community banking encompasses commercial and consumer banking services provided through our Bank: primarily the acceptance of deposits, the extension of credit, mortgage loan origination and servicing, and wealth management, which includes trust, employee benefit, investment management, insurance, agency, and custodial services to individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations. Our philosophy emphasizes a local focus through a personalized service approach while also strengthening the communities in our market areas through community involvement, service activities, and philanthropy. We grant our banking offices significant authority in delivering products in response to local market considerations and client needs. This autonomy enables our banking offices to remain competitive by quickly responding to local market conditions and enhancing relationships with our clients in those markets. While our banking offices enjoy a level of authority and flexibility, they remain accountable to company-wide standards and established limits on the authority and discretion. This combination of authority and accountability allows our banking offices to provide personalized service and localized community support while at the same time remaining focused on our overall financial vitality. Lending Activities We offer real estate, consumer, commercial, agricultural, and other loans to individuals and businesses in our market areas. We have comprehensive credit policies establishing company-wide underwriting and documentation standards to assist management in the lending process and to limit our risk. Each loan must meet minimum underwriting standards specified in our credit policies and procedures. Minimum underwriting standards generally specify that loans: (1) are made to borrowers generally located within or adjacent to our market footprint or own businesses and/or real estate within or adjacent to our footprint, with limited exceptions that may include participation loans and loans to national accounts; are made only for identified legal purposes; have specifically identified sources of repayment; (2) (3) (4) mature within designated maximum maturity periods that coincide with repayment sources; (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) are appropriately collateralized whenever possible; are supported by current credit information; do not exceed the Bank’s legal lending limit; include medium-term fixed interest rates or variable rates that are adjusted within designated time frames; and require compliance with laws and regulations including a flood zone and risk determination prior to closing. In addition, our credit policies include lending limitations to minimize concentrations of credit in agricultural, commercial, real estate, or consumer loans. Furthermore, each minimum underwriting standard must be documented, with exceptions noted, as a part of the loan approval process. While each loan must meet minimum underwriting standards established in our credit policies, qualified bankers are granted levels of credit authority in approving and pricing loans to assure that banking offices are responsive to competitive issues and community needs in each market area. Lending authorities are established at individual, branch, and market levels. Credit authorities are established and assigned based on the credit experience and credit acumen of each branch loan officer. Credit authority is under the direction of our Chief Credit Officer or such officer’s designee and is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Credit granted over the authority of our loan officers are approved by designated Credit Officers and/or the Chief Credit Officer with the concurrence of our Chief Risk Officer as necessary. Deposit Products We offer traditional depository products including checking, savings, and time deposits. Deposits at the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the FDIC, up to statutory limits. We also offer repurchase agreements primarily to commercial and municipal depositors. Under repurchase agreements, we sell investment securities held by the Bank to our clients under an agreement to repurchase the investment securities at a specified time or on demand. All outstanding repurchase agreements are due in one business day. Wealth Management We provide a wide range of trust, employee benefit, investment management, insurance, agency, and custodial services to individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations. These services include the administration of estates and personal trusts, management of investment accounts for individuals, employee benefit plans and charitable foundations, and insurance planning. 4 Centralized Services We have centralized certain operational activities to provide consistent service levels to our clients across the Bank, which helps us gain efficiency in management of those activities as well as ensure regulatory compliance. Centralized operational activities generally support our banking offices in the delivery of products and services to clients and include: • marketing; credit review; • loan servicing; • • credit card issuance and servicing; • mortgage loan sales and servicing; • • • indirect consumer loan purchasing and processing; loan collections; and other operational activities. Additionally, specialized staff support services have been centralized to enable our branches to more efficiently serve their markets. These services include: • • • • • • • • • • credit risk management; finance; human resource management; internal audit; facilities management; technology; risk management; legal; compliance; and other support services.

We also compete with other providers of financial services that actively engage in providing various types of loans and other financial services to their clients, such as: •savings and loan associations; •credit unions; •financial technology companies; •internet banks; •consumer finance companies; •brokerage firms; •mortgage banking companies; •insurance companies; •securities firms; •mutual funds;•government agencies; and •major retailers. To remain competitive in this congested industry, we continue to develop our omni-channel experience across our website, social media, and email, in addition to our offline channels, such as brick and mortar banking offices. Some of our competitors have greater resources and, as such, may have higher lending limits and may offer other services that we do not provide. We generally compete on the basis of service and responsiveness to client needs, available loan and deposit products, rates of interest charged on loans, rates of interest paid for deposits, and the availability and pricing of services such as trust, employee benefit, investment, and insurance services.Government Regulation and SupervisionWe are subject to extensive government regulation and supervision under federal and state laws. Summaries of the material laws and regulations that are applicable to us are provided below. The descriptions that follow are not intended to summarize all laws and regulations applicable to us. Furthermore, the descriptions that follow do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full provisions of those laws and regulations. In addition to laws and regulations, state and federal banking regulatory agencies may issue policy statements, interpretive letters, and similar written guidance that may impose additional regulatory obligations or otherwise affect the conduct of our business. Additionally, proposals to change laws and regulations are frequently introduced at both the federal and state levels. The likelihood and timing of any such changes and their impact on the Company cannot be determined with certainty. Regulatory AuthoritiesAs a public company with our securities listed for trading on the NASDAQ stock market, we are subject to the disclosure and regulatory requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and the rules and listing standards of the NASDAQ stock market.As a financial and bank holding company, we are subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and to supervision, regulation, and regular examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). The Bank is subject to supervision and regular examination by its primary banking regulators, the Federal Reserve and the Montana Department of Administration, Division of Banking and Financial Institutions (the “Montana Division”). The Bank is also subject to supervision and regular examination by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”).The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) administered by the FDIC in the manner and to the extent provided by law. As such, the Bank is subject to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDIA”) and FDIC regulations relating to deposit insurance and may also be subject to supervision and examination by the FDIC.We are currently subject to the regulatory capital framework and guidelines reached by Basel III as adopted by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has risk-based capital adequacy guidelines intended to measure capital adequacy with regard to a banking organization’s balance sheet, including off-balance sheet exposures such as unused portions of loan commitments, letters of credit, and recourse arrangements.The extensive regulation of the Bank limits both the activities in which the Bank may engage and the conduct of its permitted activities. Further, the laws and regulations impose reporting and information collection obligations on the Bank. The Bank incurs significant costs relating to compliance with various laws and regulations and the collection and retention of information. As the regulatory framework for bank holding companies and banks continues to grow and become more complex, the cost of complying with regulatory requirements continues to increase. 6 Financial and Bank Holding Company First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. is a bank holding company and has registered as a financial holding company under regulations issued by the Federal Reserve. As a financial holding company, we may engage in business activities that are determined by the Federal Reserve to be financial in nature or incidental to financial activities as well as all activities authorized generally to bank holding companies. We may continue to engage in authorized financial activities provided that we remain a financial holding company and are “well-capitalized” and “well-managed.” We do not currently engage in significant financial holding company business or activities not otherwise permitted generally for bank holding companies. Under federal law, First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to the Bank, which may include providing financial assistance to the Bank if the Bank experiences financial distress. Under existing Federal Reserve source of strength policies, the Federal Reserve may require a bank holding company to make capital injections into a troubled subsidiary bank. The Federal Reserve may also determine that the bank holding company is engaging in unsafe and unsound practices if it fails to commit resources to a subsidiary bank. We are required by the Bank Holding Company Act to obtain Federal Reserve approval prior to acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of voting shares of any bank, if, after such acquisition, we would own or control more than 5% of its voting stock. The Federal Reserve considers a number of factors in evaluating acquisitions, including the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the parties, the convenience and needs of the communities served, and competitive factors. Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), when considering an application, the Federal Reserve is also required to evaluate whether the transaction would result in more concentrated risks to the United States banking or financial system. Under federal law and regulations, a bank holding company may acquire banks in states other than its home state if, among other things, the bank holding company is both “well-capitalized” and “well-managed” both before and after the acquisition. Banks may also merge across state lines. With additional changes made to federal statutes under the Dodd-Frank Act, banks are also permitted to establish new interstate branches if a bank located in the target state could establish a new branch at the proposed location without regard to state laws limiting interstate de novo branching. A state can prohibit interstate mergers entirely or prohibit them if the continuing bank would control insured bank deposits in excess of a specified percentage of total insured bank deposits in the state. Under Montana law, a bank cannot acquire control of a bank located in Montana if, after the acquisition, the acquiring institution would control, in the aggregate, more than 30% of the total deposits of insured depository institutions located in Montana. As of June 30, 2022, based on publicly available information provided by the FDIC, we believe the Bank controlled approximately 16.9% of the total deposits of all insured depository institutions located in Montana. As such, the state limitation may limit our ability to directly or indirectly acquire additional banks located in Montana. In order to assess the financial strength of the bank holding company, the Federal Reserve and the State of Montana may conduct periodic on-site and off-site inspections and credit reviews throughout the year. The federal banking agencies, including the Federal Reserve, may require additional information and reports from us. In addition, the Federal Reserve may examine, and require reports and information regarding, any entity that we control, including entities other than banks or entities engaged in financial activities. In certain circumstances, the Federal Reserve may require us to divest of non- bank entities or limit the activities of those entities even if the activities are otherwise permitted to bank holding companies under governing law. Dividends and Restrictions on Transfers of Funds Dividends from the Bank are the primary source of funds for the payment of our operating expenses and for the payment of dividends to our shareholders. Dividends are also limited by state and federal laws and regulations. We are also subject to various regulatory restrictions relating to capital distributions, including dividends, regulatory capital minimums, and the requirement to remain “well-capitalized” under the prompt corrective action regulations summarized below under the caption “Business – Government Regulation and Supervision – Capital Standards and Prompt Corrective Action.” In general, the Bank is limited to paying dividends that do not exceed the current year net profits together with retained earnings from the two preceding calendar years unless prior consent of the Federal Reserve is obtained. In addition, the Bank may not pay dividends in excess of the previous two years’ net earnings without providing notice to the Montana Division. The capital buffer rules adopted by the federal banking regulators in accordance with the Basel Accords impose further limitations on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends. In general, the Bank’s ability to pay dividends is limited under the capital buffer rules unless the Bank’s common equity conservation buffer exceeds the minimum required capital ratio by 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. A state or federal banking regulator may also impose, by regulatory order or agreement of the Bank, specific dividend limitations or prohibitions. The Bank is not, however, currently subject to a specific regulatory dividend limitation. 7 The Federal Reserve has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends and the repurchase of common stock by bank holding companies. In general, the policy provides that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition. Regulatory guidance provides for prior regulatory consultation with respect to capital distributions in certain circumstances such as where the company’s net income for the past four quarters (net of previous capital distributions) is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or the company’s overall rate of earnings retention is inconsistent with the company’s capital needs and overall financial condition. The ability of a holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary bank becomes under-capitalized. The policy statement also states that a holding company should inform the Federal Reserve supervisory staff prior to redeeming or repurchasing common stock or perpetual preferred stock if the holding company is experiencing financial weaknesses or if the repurchase or redemption would result in a net reduction, as of the end of a quarter, in the amount of such equity instruments outstanding compared with the beginning of the quarter in which the redemption or repurchase occurred. These regulatory policies may affect our ability to pay dividends, repurchase shares of common stock, or otherwise engage in capital distributions. Capital Standards and Prompt Corrective Action Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by state and federal banking agencies, which involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weighting, and other factors. The capital requirements are intended to ensure that banking organizations have adequate capital given the risk levels of assets and off-balance sheet financial instruments and are applied separately to the Bank and its parent holding company. Federal regulations require FDIC-insured depository institutions and bank holding companies to meet several minimum capital standards: • • • • a common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 4.5%; a Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets ratio of 6.0%; a total capital to risk-based assets ratio of 8.0%; and a 4.0% Tier 1 capital to total assets leverage ratio. The existing capital requirements were effective January 1, 2015, and are based on recommendations of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. For purposes of the regulatory capital requirements, common equity Tier 1 capital is generally defined as common stockholders’ equity and retained earnings and is reduced by substantially all of the regulatory deductions including items such as goodwill and other intangibles and certain deferred tax assets. Tier 1 capital is generally defined as common equity Tier 1 capital and additional Tier 1 capital. Additional Tier 1 capital includes certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries. Total capital includes Tier 1 capital (common equity Tier 1 capital plus additional Tier 1 capital) and Tier 2 capital. Tier 2 capital is composed of capital instruments and related surplus, meeting specified requirements, and may include cumulative preferred stock and long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, intermediate preferred stock, and subordinated debt. Also included in Tier 2 capital is the allowance for credit losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets and, for institutions like us that have exercised an opt-out election regarding the treatment of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”), up to 45.0% of net unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Institutions that have not exercised the AOCI opt-out have AOCI incorporated into common equity Tier 1 capital (including unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale-securities). Calculation of all types of regulatory capital is subject to deductions and adjustments specified in the regulations. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets for purposes of calculating risk-based capital ratios, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets (for example, recourse obligations, direct credit substitutes, residual interests), are multiplied by a risk weight factor assigned by the regulations based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Higher levels of capital are required for asset categories believed to present greater risk. For example, a risk weight of 0% is assigned to cash and United States government securities, a risk weight of 50% generally is assigned to prudently underwritten first lien one- to four-family residential mortgages, a risk weight of 100% is assigned to commercial and consumer loans, a risk weight of 150% is assigned to certain past due loans, and a risk weight of between 0% to 600% is assigned to permissible equity interests, depending on certain specified factors. 8 In addition to establishing the minimum regulatory capital requirements, the regulations limit capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management if the institution does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. In assessing an institution’s capital adequacy, the Federal Reserve takes into consideration not only these numeric factors, but qualitative factors as well and has the authority to establish higher capital requirements in individual cases where deemed necessary. The Federal Reserve has not established individual capital requirements applicable to us. The Dodd-Frank Act and the revised regulations limit the use of hybrid capital instruments in meeting regulatory capital requirements, including instruments similar to those which we currently have issued and outstanding. As of December 31, 2021, we met the criteria for grandfathering under the Dodd-Frank Act, therefore, the limitations on use of hybrid capital instruments did not then apply to our outstanding instruments which included Tier 1 qualification for trust preferred securities. Our acquisition by merger of Great Western, however, negated qualification for the grandfathering provisions as the Company surpassed $15.0 billion in assets by that acquisition, effective February 1, 2022, with the result that our trust preferred securities now qualify only as Tier 2 capital. Federal law requires the federal banking agencies to take “prompt corrective action” in respect of depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. The law sets forth the following five capital tiers: • • • • • “well capitalized;” “adequately capitalized;” “under-capitalized;” “significantly under-capitalized;” and “critically under-capitalized.” A depository institution’s capital tier will depend upon how its capital levels compare with various relevant capital measures and certain other factors, as established by regulation. The relevant capital measures are the common equity tier 1 capital ratio, total capital ratio, the tier 1 capital ratio, and the leverage ratio. A depository institution is generally prohibited from making any capital distributions (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to its parent holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be under- capitalized. Under-capitalized institutions may be subject to growth limitations and other restrictions and are required to submit a capital restoration plan. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is “significantly under-capitalized.” “Significantly under-capitalized” depository institutions are subject to additional requirements and restrictions, such as orders to sell sufficient stock to become “adequately capitalized,” to reduce total assets, restrict interest rates paid, remove management and directors, and cease receipt of deposits from correspondent banks. “Critically under-capitalized” institutions are subject to the appointment of a receiver or conservator. The capital stock of banks organized under Montana law, such as the Bank, may be subject to assessment upon the direction of the Montana Department of Administration under the Montana Bank Act. Under the Montana Bank Act, if the Department of Administration determines an impairment of a bank’s capital exists, it may notify the bank’s board of directors of the impairment and require payment of an assessment on the bank stock. If the bank fails to do so, the Department of Administration may, among other things, take charge of the bank and proceed to liquidate the bank. Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates, Directors, and Officers Under the Federal Reserve Act, the Bank may not lend funds or otherwise extend credit to its parent holding company or any other affiliate, except on specified types and amounts of collateral generally upon market terms and conditions. The Federal Reserve also has authority to define and limit the transactions between banks and their affiliates. The Federal Reserve’s Regulation W and relevant federal statutes and regulations, among other authorities, impose significant limitations on transactions in which the Bank may engage with us or with other affiliates, including per-affiliate and aggregate limits on affiliate transactions. Federal Reserve Regulation O restricts loans to the Bank and its parent holding company’s insiders, which includes directors, certain officers, and principal shareholders and their respective related interests. All extensions of credit to the insiders and their related interests must be on the same terms as, and subject to the same loan underwriting requirements as, loans to persons who are not insiders. In addition, Regulation O imposes lending limits on loans to insiders and their related interests and imposes, in certain circumstances, requirements for prior approval of the loans by the Bank board of directors. 9 Safety and Soundness Standards and Other Supervisory and Enforcement Mechanisms The federal banking agencies have adopted guidelines establishing standards for safety and soundness, asset quality and earnings, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, internal controls, and audit systems. These standards are designed to identify potential concerns and ensure action is taken to address those concerns before they pose a risk to the DIF. If a federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any of these standards, the agency may require the institution to submit an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If the institution fails to submit an acceptable plan within the time allowed by the agency or fails in any material respect to implement an accepted plan, the agency must, by order, require the institution to correct the deficiency and may take other supervisory action. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, federal banking regulators impose additional supervisory measures on banking organizations such as us when they exceed $10 billion in assets. These include enhanced risk management and corporate governance processes specified by the regulators. The Federal Reserve has authority to bring an enforcement action against a bank or bank holding company and all “institution-affiliated parties” of a bank or bank holding company, including directors, officers, stockholders, and under certain circumstances, attorneys, appraisers, and accountants for the bank or holding company. Formal enforcement actions may include measures such as the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order for the removal of officers and/or directors or the appointment of a receiver or conservator. Civil money penalties cover a wide range of violations and actions, and can range up to $5,000 per day, unless a finding of knowing or reckless disregard is made, in which case penalties may be as high as $1 million per day. The FDIC also has the authority to terminate deposit insurance or recommend to the Federal Reserve that enforcement action be taken with respect to a particular bank. If such action is not taken, the FDIC has authority to take the action under specified circumstances. Montana law also provides the Montana Division with various enforcement mechanisms and, ultimately, authority to appoint a receiver or conservator for a Montana bank. Deposit Insurance The FDIC insures our client deposits through the DIF up to $250,000 per depositor. The amount of FDIC assessments paid by each DIF member institution is based on financial measures and supervisory ratings derived from a statistical model estimating the probability of failure within a three-year period, with banks deemed more risky paying higher assessments. The FDIC was required by the Dodd-Frank Act to take actions necessary to cause the DIF to reach a reserve ratio of 1.35% of total estimated insured deposits by September 30, 2020. On September 30, 2018, the DIF Reserve Ratio reached 1.36%. As of September 30, 2020, the FDIC had announced that the ratio had declined to 1.30% due largely to consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The FDIC adopted a plan to restore the fund to the 1.35% ratio within eight years, but did not change its assessment schedule. On October 18, 2022, the FDIC finalized a rule that would increase initial base deposit insurance assessment rates by two basis points, beginning with the first quarterly assessment period of 2023. Based on the FDIC’s recent projections, however, the FDIC determined that the DIF reserve ratio is at risk of not reaching the statutory minimum by the statutory deadline of September 30, 2028 without increasing the deposit insurance assessment rates. The increased assessment would improve the likelihood that the DIF reserve ratio would reach the required minimum by the statutory deadline, consistent with the FDIC’s Amended Restoration Plan. The rule will become effective as of January 1, 2023. All FDIC-insured institutions are also required to pay assessments to the FDIC to fund interest payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation, or the FICO, an agency of the Federal government established to recapitalize the predecessor to the DIF. The assessment rate is applied to total average assets less tangible equity, as defined under the Dodd-Frank Act. The assessment rate schedule can change from time-to-time at the discretion of the FDIC, subject to certain limits. Under the current system, premiums are assessed quarterly. Interchange Fees Under the Durbin Amendment to the Dodd-Frank Act, also known as Regulation II, the Federal Reserve adopted rules establishing standards for assessing whether the interchange fees that may be charged with respect to certain electronic debit transactions are “reasonable and proportional” to the costs incurred by issuers for processing such transactions, which alters the competitive structure of the debit card payment processing industry and caps debit card interchange fees for banks with over $10 billion in assets. Interchange fees are charges that merchants pay to us and other card-issuing banks for processing electronic payment transactions. The Federal Reserve also has rules governing routing and exclusivity that require issuers to offer two unaffiliated networks for routing transactions on each debit or prepaid product. On October 3, 2022, the Federal Reserve finalized a rule that amends Regulation II to specify, among other things, that debit card issuers should enable all debit card transactions, including card-not-present transactions such as online payments, to be processed on at least two unaffiliated payment card networks. The final rule becomes effective July 1, 2023. We are subject to the interchange fee cap and having at least two unaffiliated payment card networks because our assets exceed $10 billion. 10 Client Privacy and Other Consumer Protections Federal and State laws impose client privacy requirements on any company engaged in financial activities, including us. Under these requirements, a financial company is required to protect the security and confidentiality of clients’ nonpublic personal information. In addition, for clients who obtain a financial product such as a loan for personal, family, or household purposes, a financial holding company is required to disclose its privacy policy to the client at the time the relationship is established and annually thereafter. The financial company must also disclose its policies concerning the sharing of the client’s nonpublic personal information with affiliates and third parties. Finally, a financial company is prohibited from disclosing an account number or similar item to a third party for use in telemarketing, direct mail marketing, or marketing through electronic mail. The Bank is subject to a variety of federal and state laws, regulations, and reporting obligations aimed at protecting consumers and Bank clients. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may, among other things, impair the collection of loans made in violation of the laws and regulations, provide borrowers or other clients certain rights and remedies, or result in the imposition of penalties on the Bank. Certain of these laws and regulations are described below. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act generally prohibits discrimination in credit transactions on, among other things, the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, or age and, in certain circumstances, limits the Bank’s ability to require co-obligors or guarantors as a condition of the extension of credit to an individual. The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (“RESPA”) requires certain disclosures be provided to borrowers in real estate loan closings or other real estate settlements. In addition, RESPA limits or prohibits certain settlement practices, fee sharing, “kickbacks,” and similar practices that are considered to be abusive. The Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”) requires disclosures to borrowers and other parties in consumer loans, including, among other things, disclosures relating to interest rates and other finance charges, payments and payment schedules, and annual percentage rates. The Fair Housing Act regulates, among other things, lending practices in residential housing and prohibits discrimination in housing-related lending activities on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, handicap, disability, or familial status. The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act requires certain lenders and other firms engaged in the home mortgage industry to collect and report information relating to applicants, borrowers, and home mortgage lending activities in which they engage in their market areas or communities. The information is used for, among other purposes, evaluation of discrimination or other impermissible acts in home mortgage lending. The Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act regulates terms and disclosures of certain closed-end home mortgage loans that are not purchase money loans and includes loans classified as “high-cost loans.” The Fair Credit Reporting Act, as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, generally limits lenders and other financial firms in their collection, use, or dissemination of client credit information, gives clients some access to, and control over, their credit information, and requires financial firms to establish policies and procedures intended to deter identity theft and related frauds. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act regulates actions that may be taken in the collection of consumer debts and provides consumers with certain rights of access to information related to collection actions. The Electronic Fund Transfer Act regulates fees and other terms on electronic funds transactions. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act prohibits, among other things, lending practices to consumers that are unfair, deceptive, or abusive. The CFPB has promulgated numerous regulations relating to consumer financial services-related topics, such as mortgage origination disclosures, mortgage servicing practices, and others. The Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) generally requires the federal banking agencies to evaluate the record of a financial institution in meeting the credit needs of its local communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. In addition to substantial penalties and corrective measures that may be assessed for a violation of fair lending laws, the federal banking agencies may take compliance with such laws and the CRA into account when evaluating applications for transactions such as mergers and for new branches. 11 In connection with its assessment of CRA performance, the appropriate bank regulatory agency assigns a rating of “outstanding,” “satisfactory,” “needs to improve,” or “substantial noncompliance.” The Bank received an “outstanding” rating on its most recently published CRA examination. Although the Bank’s policies and procedures are designed to achieve compliance with all fair lending and CRA requirements, instances of non-compliance are occasionally identified through normal operational activities. Management endeavors to respond proactively to any instances of non-compliance and to implement and update appropriate procedures to prevent instances of non-compliance and other violations from occurring. USA PATRIOT Act The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 amended the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 and the Money Laundering Control Act of 1986 and adopted additional measures requiring insured depository institutions, broker-dealers, and certain other financial institutions to have policies, procedures, and controls to detect, prevent, and report money laundering and terrorist financing. The laws and related regulations also provide for information sharing, subject to conditions, between federal law enforcement agencies and financial institutions, as well as among financial institutions, for counter-terrorism purposes. Federal banking regulators are required, when reviewing bank holding company acquisition or merger applications, to take into account the effectiveness of the anti-money laundering activities of the applicants. Office of Foreign Asset Control The United States Treasury Office of Foreign Asset Control enforces economic and trade sanctions imposed by the United States on foreign persons and governments. Among other authorities, the Office of Foreign Asset Control, or OFAC, may require United States financial institutions to block or “freeze” assets of identified foreign persons or governments which come within the control of the financial institution. Financial institutions are required to adopt procedures for identification of new and existing deposit accounts and other relationships with persons or governments identified by OFAC and to timely report the accounts or relationships to OFAC. Incentive Compensation In May 2016, the Federal Reserve Board, other federal banking agencies, and the SEC jointly published a re-proposed rule-making designed to implement provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act prohibiting incentive compensation arrangements that would encourage inappropriate risk taking at a covered institution, which includes a bank or bank holding company with $1 billion or more of assets, such as us. The proposed rule (i) prohibits incentive-based compensation arrangements that encourage executive officers, employees, directors, or principal shareholders to expose the institution to inappropriate risks by providing excessive compensation (based on the standards for excessive compensation adopted pursuant to the FDIA) and (ii) prohibits incentive-based compensation arrangements for executive officers, employees, directors or principal shareholders that could lead to a material financial loss for the institution. The proposed rule requires covered institutions to establish policies and procedures for monitoring and evaluating their compensation practices. The comment period ended in July 2016. Although final rules had not been adopted as of as of December 31, 2022, if these or other regulations are adopted in a form similar to the proposed rule-making, they could impose limitations on the manner in which we may structure compensation for our executives. Cyber-security Federal regulators have issued two related statements regarding cyber-security. One statement indicates that financial institutions should design multiple layers of security controls to establish lines of defense and ensure their risk management processes also address the risk posed by compromised client credentials, including security measures to reliably authenticate clients accessing internet-based services of the financial institution. The other statement indicates that a financial institution’s management is expected to maintain sufficient business continuity planning processes to ensure the rapid recovery, resumption, and maintenance of the institution’s operations after a cyber-attack involving destructive malware. A financial institution is also expected to develop appropriate processes to enable recovery of data and business operations and address rebuilding network capabilities and restoring data if the institution or its critical service providers fall victim to this type of cyber-attack. If we fail to observe the regulatory guidance, we could be subject to various regulatory sanctions, including financial penalties. In the ordinary course of business, we rely on electronic communications and information systems to conduct our operations and to store sensitive data. We employ a variety of preventative and detective controls and tools to monitor, block, and provide alerts regarding suspicious activity and to report on any suspected advanced persistent threats. We also offset cyber risk through internal training, testing of our employees, and we procure insurance to provide assistance on significant incidents and to offset potential liability. We have not experienced a significant compromise, significant data loss, or any material financial losses related to cyber-security attacks. Risks and exposures related to cyber-security attacks are expected to remain high for the foreseeable future due to the rapidly evolving nature and sophistication of these threats, as well as due to the expanding use of third- party service providers, internet banking, mobile banking, and other technology-based products and services by us and our clients. 12 Human Capital Culture is critically important to the Company’s success; our people are our number one priority. During this past year, we focused on integrating the employees of Great Western Bank into our culture. We approach our culture with an aspirational lens. It is not a stand-alone initiative or program—it is integrated in our systems, our processes, and our DNA. Our values guide how we make decisions, treat each other, and serve our clients. Employee Base As of December 31, 2022, we employed 3,783 full-time equivalent employees, with none represented by a collective bargaining agreement. This represents an increase of 1,425 employees from December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 68.4% of our workforce was female, 31.4% was male, and 0.2% have not declared. The executive team is comprised equally of men and women, and the Company’s senior leadership team was 54.5% female and 45.5% male. Commitment to Community/ Volunteerism We are “all-in” when it comes to giving back—with time, money, and heart. We have a vested interest in the strength of our communities and strive to make them better places to live and work. Each year, the Company creates commitment to community plans for all our markets, which includes donating 2% of our net income before tax for charitable purposes. These plans help align strategies for philanthropy, volunteering and leadership, financial education outreach, community development, and sustainability. We encourage employees to take active leadership roles within their communities to further demonstrate our values and help us respond to the needs of the markets we serve. The Company provides employees an opportunity to participate in a Bank-sponsored service project annually, marking the second Wednesday in September as our Commitment to Community Volunteer Day. We close all offices in the afternoon on Volunteer Day so employees can lend a hand in their community, either as teams or as individuals. Employee Engagement Our employee engagement strategy is focused on creating and maintaining a work environment where all employees’ voices are heard. The organization’s success is measured by assessing the consistency in which we meet workplace needs and the activation of progress by local-level leaders. An annual census survey is conducted each fall and strategic pulse surveys help us dig deeper into organizational nuances, allowing us to gain additional insight into the needs of our organization and task appropriate departments with creating solutions. Leaders in our organization are held accountable for encouraging participation, reviewing and sharing team results, holding action-oriented engagement discussions, and submitting an annual action plan to encourage engagement throughout the year. Aggregated employee engagement data is provided to the Board of Directors as a key indicator of the health of our workforce. Compensation and Benefits We strive to provide competitive wages, benefits, and programs that meet the varying needs of our workforce. We continually review our programs to ensure we remain competitive and take care of our employees. In 2022, we added two weeks of Parental/Caregiver Leave to facilitate family bonding after birth, adoption, or foster care placement; or to care for a family member that may be suffering from a serious health condition. In April 2022, in response to high fuel costs, we created a fuel stipend program that provided an extra $130 per month to eligible employees through September 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we raised our company minimum hourly wage to $17 per hour and adjusted other compensation for those directly and indirectly impacted. These programs impacted 64% of our total employees. Our compensation strategies are designed to pay for performance, pay competitively within our markets, and support pay equity among comparable jobs and markets across the company. We make data-driven decisions regarding employee compensation based on the job, experience, and performance. The approach we take in our benefit offerings is a holistic one to address our employees’ total well-being, which includes aspects of their health, physical, mental/emotional, social, and financial needs. We offer the following compensation and benefit programs as part of our total rewards package: * Competitive Total Compensation ▪ Base salary • Pay for performance short-term and long-term incentive programs for eligible employees 13 * Comprehensive Benefit Programs • Medical, dental, and vision plans • 401(k) plan with a 100% match on the first 6% contributed • Paid time off • Health savings accounts with employer contribution • Flexible spending accounts • Company paid childcare assistance program • Student debt employer repayment program • Additional Benefits: short-term disability; long-term disability; employee assistance program; free or discounted banking products and services; wellness program; and flexible work arrangements Growth and Development We invest time and resources to develop the talent needed to remain competitive in our markets and remain an employer of choice. In 2022, we offered our employees a leadership development program centered around neuroscience and self-awareness; foundational role-based training programs; and on-demand learning opportunities and resources. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion We work to foster a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, not only within our Company, but within the communities where we live and work. We take pride in creating a workplace environment that values our employees for their differences while ensuring equity in all we do. We are committed to advocating for the rights and respect of all and actively participate in achieving this by setting an example. To further promote the importance of DEI, in 2021 the Company formed our DEI Council to help formulate and implement strategic ways we can support DEI as part of everything we do. Our efforts focus on educating employees about DEI and celebrating the differences within our workforce. We champion DEI initiatives in the communities we serve and engage with new partners to ensure we are recruiting and retaining diverse talent across our footprint. In 2022, Kevin Riley, CEO and President, signed the CEO Action Pledge that aligns First Interstate Bank with 2,000 other organizations which pledge to take action to cultivate environments where diverse experiences and perspectives are welcomed. In September 2022, we added a DEI Specialist with a full-time focus on implementing our DEI efforts, and in October of 2022, 40 employees from across the Bank participated in DEI implementation training. This training provided participants with new perspectives, tools, and skills for employees to lead and facilitate conversations about DEI. We will begin facilitating and deploying this experience throughout the Bank’s footprint during 2023 and beyond. In October 2022, we launched the DEI Collective Learning Series where we host a monthly educational and community-building webinar series that provides opportunities for our employees to learn about our DEI efforts. The intent of this series is to provide a safe space to ask questions and learn and grow together as an organization. Each event features a rotating panel of employees, community members, and external partners who share about designated topics on DEI and belonging.

Item 1A. Risk Factors Like other financial institutions and bank holding companies, the success of our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside our control. The material risks and uncertainties of which we are currently aware are set forth below under headings that are provided for convenience and intended to organize the risks and uncertainties into related categories to improve readability for investors; no inference should be drawn, however, that the placement of a risk factor under a particular category means it is not applicable to another category of risks or that it may be more or less material than another risk factor. Regardless, if any of the events or circumstances described below actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be harmed. These risks are not the only ones we may face. Other risks of which we are not aware, including those which relate to the banking and financial services industry in general and us in particular, or those which we do not currently believe are material, may harm our future business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. You should consider carefully the following important factors in evaluating us and our business before you make an investment decision about our securities. 14 Regulatory and Compliance Risks New governmental regulations and/or changes in existing governmental regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company is extensively regulated under federal and state banking laws and regulations that are intended primarily for the protection of depositors, the DIF, and the banking system as a whole. Both the scope of the laws and regulations and the intensity of the supervision to which our business is subject have increased in recent years in response, we believe, to a number of factors including the 2008 financial crisis as well as technological and market changes. Regulatory enforcement and fines have also increased across the banking and financial services sector. Many of these changes have occurred as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act and its implementing regulations. The Company expects its business will remain subject to extensive regulation and supervision. Regulations, along with the currently existing tax, accounting, securities, insurance, employment, monetary, and other laws and regulations, rules, standards, policies, and interpretations control the methods by which we conduct business, implement strategic initiatives and tax compliance, and govern financial reporting and disclosures. In addition, the Company is subject to changes in federal and state laws as well as changes in banking and credit regulations and governmental economic and monetary policies. Congress may enact legislation from time-to-time that affects the regulation of the financial services industry, and state legislatures may enact legislation from time-to-time affecting the regulation of financial institutions chartered by or operating in those states. Federal and state regulatory agencies also periodically propose and adopt changes to their regulations or change the manner in which existing regulations are applied. In recent years, the CFPB has increased its scrutiny of fee-based business models and various fees on consumer financial products and services, including depositor, overdraft and late fee charges. For example, in February 2023, the CFPB proposed changes that would limit the amount of late fees that could be charged for late credit card payments. Certain members of the executive branch of the federal government have also expressed an interest in increased regulation of these types of fees. Any of these changes or new legislation could increase our future compliance and other operating expenses and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation. Tax legislative initiatives or assessments could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We are subject to income and other taxes in the United States and in the various state and local jurisdictions in which we operate. The laws and regulations related to tax matters are extremely complex and subject to varying interpretations. Although management believes our positions are reasonable, we are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service in the United States and by state and local tax authorities in all the jurisdictions in which we conduct business operations. While we believe we comply with all applicable tax laws, rules, and regulations in the relevant jurisdictions, the tax authorities may determine that we owe additional taxes or apply existing laws and regulations more broadly, which could result in a significant increase in liabilities for taxes and interest in excess of accrued liabilities and harm our business and financial condition. New tax legislative initiatives, including increases in the corporate tax rate, may be enacted, impacting negatively our effective tax rate at the federal and state level and potentially adversely affecting our tax positions or tax liabilities. For example, the U.S. has implemented a 15% minimum tax on corporations and a 1% excise tax on certain share buybacks. We have adopted and completed material share repurchase programs over the past several years as a means by which to return value to shareholders, and the new excise tax may materially negatively impact our willingness to engage in such programs in the future may materially increase or our costs associated with engaging in any such programs to the extent we determine to engage in them in the future. In addition, unilateral or multi-jurisdictional actions by various tax authorities, including an increase in tax audit activity, could have an adverse impact on our tax liabilities. In any event, significant uncertainties exist with respect to the amount of our tax liabilities, including those arising from potential and already implemented changes in tax laws. These and other tax related items could increase our future tax expense, could change our future intentions regarding the use of our earnings, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may be subject to more stringent capital requirements in the future, the impact of which could have a material risk on our operations. Federal and state banking regulators also possess broad powers to take supervisory actions as they deem appropriate. These supervisory actions may result in higher capital requirements, higher deposit insurance premiums, and limitations on the Company’s activities that could have a material adverse effect on its business and profitability. For example, the FDIC and the federal banking agencies approved a new rule that substantially amended the regulatory risk-based capital rules applicable to us by adopting “Basel III” regulatory capital reforms and other changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The Basel III-based U.S. capital rules, among other things, impose a capital measure called Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, or CET1 capital, to which most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures must be made. In addition, the Basel III-based U.S. capital rules specify that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting certain specified requirements. 15 Under the U.S. Basel III-based capital rules, the minimum capital ratios are: • 4.5% CET1 capital to risk-weighted assets; • 6.0% tier 1 capital (that is, CET1 capital plus additional tier 1 capital) to risk-weighted assets; • 8.0% total capital (that is, tier 1 capital plus tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets; and • 4.0% tier 1 capital to total average consolidated assets as defined under U.S. Basel III Standardized approach (known as the “leverage ratio”). The minimum risk-based capital and leverage ratios, which became effective for us on January 1, 2015, refined the definition of what constitutes “capital” for calculating these ratios. The rule required unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt- out is exercised. In addition, the final rule established a “capital conservation buffer” that, once fully phased in and combined with established minimum common equity, risk-based assets capital, and total capital ratios, will exceed the prompt corrective action “well-capitalized” thresholds. (According to the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991, a depository institution is “well-capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater; a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater; a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater; a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5% or greater; and is not subject to a regulatory order, agreement, or directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.) In January 2019, the phase-in of the new capital conservation buffer requirement was completed. An institution will be subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if its capital level falls below the buffer amount. These limitations will establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that can be utilized for such actions. In December 2017, the Basel Committee published standards that it described as the finalization of the Basel III post- crisis regulatory reforms (the standards are commonly referred to as “Basel IV”). Changes include, among other things: • Changes to risk-weights under the standardized approach • Restrictions on the use of models under the advanced approaches • Revisions to the credit valuation adjustment risk framework • An overhaul of the operational risk framework, including a more explicit operational risk capital charge under the standardized approach • Refinements to the leverage ratio framework • Creation of an output floor on the regulatory capital benefits that a banking organization using the advanced approaches can derive relative to the standardized approach On September 9, 2022, the federal banking regulators announced their intent to revise U.S. regulatory capital requirements to align with Basel IV requirements. It is unclear, however, when further guidance will become available and when any changes will go into effect. The impact of Basel IV will depend upon the manner in which it is implemented in the U.S. with respect to institutions like First Interstate and FIB. Changes in accounting standards could materially negatively impact our financial statements. From time-to-time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the SEC change the financial accounting and reporting standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. These changes can materially impact how we record and report our financial condition and results of operations. For example, the FASB issued amendments to its guidance on the credit impairment of financial instruments. The amendments were effective for fiscal year 2020, which introduced a new impairment model based on current expected credit losses (“CECL”) rather than incurred losses. As a result of the amendments, we increased our allowance for credit losses, which had a significant impact on our results of operations. Any failure to comply with laws and regulations, including the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) and fair lending laws, could lead to material penalties. We must comply with the CRA, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Housing Act, and other fair lending laws and regulations that impose non-discriminatory lending and other requirements on financial institutions. A failure to comply with these laws could result in a wide variety of sanctions, including the required payment of damages and civil money penalties, injunctive relief, imposition of restrictions on mergers and acquisitions activity, and restrictions on expansion. In addition to actions by the U.S. Department of Justice and other federal agencies, including the Federal Reserve and CFPB, who are responsible for enforcing these laws, our compliance with fair lending laws could be challenged in private class action litigation. The costs of defending any such challenge and any adverse outcome arising from such a challenge could damage our reputation or could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. 16 We are subject to the USA PATRIOT Act, OFAC guidelines and requirements, the Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”), and related Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) and Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”) Guidelines and regulations and any failure to comply with them could result in material implications that could harm our business. We are routinely examined by our regulators for compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act, OFAC guidelines and requirements, the BSA, and related FinCEN and FFIEC Guidelines. Failure to maintain and implement adequate programs and fully comply with all of the relevant laws or regulations could have serious legal, financial, and reputational consequences for us, including causing applicable bank regulatory authorities not to approve merger or acquisition transactions when regulatory approval is required, or to prohibit such transactions even if approval is not required. Regulatory authorities have imposed cease and desist orders and significant civil money penalties against institutions found to be violating these regulations. If any of the foregoing were to come to pass, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Credit Risks We may be subject to lending risks and risks associated with loan sector concentrations to which other companies may not be exposed, which could adversely affect the Company. We take on credit risk by virtue of making loans and extending loan commitments and letters of credit. Our credit standards, procedures, and policies may not prevent us from incurring substantial credit losses, particularly in light of recent market developments including the recent increases by the Federal Reserve to its benchmark interest rate. Our loans held for investment portfolio are concentrated in commercial real estate and commercial business loans. As of December 31, 2022, we had $11.4 billion of commercial loans, including $8.5 billion of commercial real estate loans, representing approximately 63.0% of our loans held for investment portfolio. Commercial loans may involve greater risks than our other types of lending. Because payments on such loans are often dependent on the successful operation or development of the property or business involved, repayment of such loans can be more sensitive to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the general economy. Commercial loans typically are made based on borrowers’ ability to make repayment from the cash flow of their commercial venture. If the cash flow from business operations is reduced as a result of adverse conditions, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired. Commercial loans are, on average, larger loans as compared to other loans with less readily-marketable collateral. Given these factors, losses incurred on commercial real estate and commercial loans could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, many of our borrowers operate in industries that are directly or indirectly impacted by changes in commodity prices, such as agriculture and livestock businesses, as well as businesses indirectly impacted by commodities prices, such as businesses that transport commodities or manufacture equipment used in production of commodities. Changes in commodity products prices depend on local, regional, and global events or conditions that affect supply and demand for the relevant commodity. Deterioration in economic conditions or in the real estate market could result in increased delinquencies and foreclosures and could have an adverse effect on the collateral value for many of these loans and on the repayment ability of many of our borrowers. Deterioration in economic conditions or in the real estate market could also reduce the number of loans we make to businesses in the construction and real estate industry, which could negatively impact our interest income and results of operations. Similarly, the occurrence of a natural or man- made disaster in our market areas could impair the value of the collateral we hold for real estate secured loans. Any factor or combination of factors identified above could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. A decline in economic conditions could reduce demand for our products and services and negatively impact the credit quality of loans, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. Our clients are located predominantly in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming. Unlike larger banks that are more geographically diversified, our profitability largely depends on the general economic conditions in these areas. Deterioration in economic conditions could result in the following consequences, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: • • • • • • • • • demand for our products and services may decline; loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase; increases in the provisions for credit losses and loans and lease charge-offs; decrease in net interest income derived from lending activities; collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value; future borrowing power of our clients may be reduced; the value of our securities portfolio may decline; the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; and increases in our operating expenses associated with attending to the effects of the above noted consequences. 17 Volatility and uncertainty related to inflation and the effects of inflation, which may lead to increased costs for businesses and consumers and potentially contribute to poor business and economic conditions generally, may enhance or contribute to some of the risks discussed herein. For example, higher inflation, or volatility and uncertainty related to inflation, could reduce demand for our products, adversely affect the creditworthiness of the Company’s borrowers or result in lower values for our investment securities and other interest-earning assets. In response to sustained inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve increased interest rates by 25 basis points on March 16, 2022, by 50 basis points on May 4, 2022, by 75 basis points on June 15, 2022, by 75 basis points on July 27, 2022, by 75 basis points on September 21, 2022, by 75 basis points on November 2, 2022, by 50 basis points on December 14, 2022, and an additional 25 basis points on February 1, 2023. The Federal Reserve has also signaled its intention to continue to raise interest rates as necessary in 2023 and will continue to taper its purchases of agency mortgage-backed securities and treasury securities. To the extent these policies do not mitigate the volatility and uncertainty related to inflation and the effects of inflation, or to the extent conditions otherwise worsen, we could experience adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Deflationary pressures, while possibly lowering our operating costs, could also have a significant negative effect on our borrowers, especially our business borrowers, and the values of underlying collateral securing loans, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, a significant decline in general economic conditions caused by the economic slowdown in Europe and the United States, the impact of trade negotiations, escalating tensions with China, economic conditions in China, including the global economic impacts of the Chinese economy, China’s regulation of commerce, escalating military tensions in Europe as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or elsewhere, the outbreak of other international or domestic hostilities or other unrest, a default by the United States or other governments in repaying financial obligations, a shutdown of all or part of the United States government or other governments, the effects of the pandemic or other health crises, acts of terrorism, climate-related events such as prolonged drought, unemployment, or other economic and geopolitical factors beyond our control, could further impact these local economic conditions and negatively affect our business and results of operations. If we experience loan credit losses in excess of estimated amounts, our earnings could be adversely affected. The risk of credit losses on loans varies with, among other things, general economic conditions, the composition of our loan portfolio, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, and, in the case of a collateralized loan, the value and marketability of the collateral for the loan. We maintain an allowance for credit losses based upon, among other things, historical experience, delinquency trends, economic conditions, and regular reviews of loan portfolio quality. Based upon such factors, management makes various assumptions and judgments about the ultimate collectability of our loan portfolio and provides an allowance for credit losses. These assumptions and judgments are complex and difficult to determine given the significant uncertainty surrounding future conditions in the general economy and banking industry. If management’s assumptions and judgments prove to be incorrect and the allowance for credit losses is inadequate, or if banking authorities or regulations require us to increase the allowance for credit losses, our net income may be adversely affected. As a result, an increase in credit losses could have a material adverse effect on our earnings, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. The soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect the Company. Financial services companies are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, or other relationships. We have exposure to many different industries and counterparties. For example, we execute transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, including brokers and dealers, commercial banks, investment banks, and other institutional clients. As a result, defaults by, or even rumors or questions about, one or more financial services companies or the financial services industry generally have led to market-wide liquidity problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions. Many of these transactions expose us to increased credit risk in the event of default of a counterparty or client. Liquidity Risks We are subject to liquidity risks which could impair our cash flows and adversely affect the Company. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future cash flow needs on a timely basis at a reasonable cost. Our liquidity is used to make loans and repay deposit liabilities as they become due or are demanded by clients. We rely on our ability to generate deposits and effectively manage the repayment and maturity schedules of our loans and investment securities, respectively, to provide adequate liquidity to fund our operations. While scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, they are subject to the ability of borrowers to repay the loans. The ability of borrowers to repay loans can be adversely affected by a number of factors, including changes in economic conditions, adverse trends or events affecting business industry groups, reductions in real estate values or markets, business closings or lay-offs, inclement weather, natural disasters, which could be exacerbated by potential climate change, and international instability. 18 Additionally, deposit levels may be affected by a number of factors, including rates paid by competitors, general interest rate levels, regulatory capital requirements, returns available to clients on alternative investments and general economic conditions. We may experience potential stresses on liquidity management. We may see deposit levels decrease as clients adjust to distressed economic conditions by using the funds that would otherwise be savings. Accordingly, we may be required from time to time to rely on secondary sources of liquidity to meet withdrawal demands or otherwise fund operations. We maintain a portfolio of investment securities that may be used as a secondary source of liquidity to the extent the securities are not pledged for collateral. Other potential sources of liquidity include the sale of loans, the utilization of available government and regulatory assistance programs, the ability to acquire brokered deposits, the issuance of additional collateralized borrowings such as Federal Home Loan Bank advances, the issuance of debt or equity securities, the sale of available-for-sale securities which may require the sale of securities in a loss position, securities sold under repurchase agreements, federal funds purchased, and borrowings through the Federal Reserve’s discount window. Without sufficient liquidity from these potential sources, we may not be able to meet the cash flow requirements of our depositors and borrowers. Additionally, our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities or on terms that are acceptable to us could be impaired by factors specific to us, the financial services industry, or the economy in general. Factors that could reduce our access to liquidity sources include a downturn in our local or national economies, unfavorable market conditions, difficult or illiquid credit markets, or adverse regulatory actions against us. A failure to maintain adequate liquidity could have a material, adverse effect on our regulatory standing, business, financial condition, and results of operations. Loss of deposits or a change in deposit mix could increase the Company’s funding costs and negatively affect the Company’s operations. Deposits are a low cost and stable source of funding. We depend on checking and savings, negotiable order of withdrawal, money market deposit account balances, and other forms of client deposits as our primary source of funding. Deposit levels may be affected by a number of factors, including interest rates paid by competitors, general interest rate levels, returns available to customers on alternative investments and general economic conditions that affect savings levels and the amount of liquidity in the economy, including government stimulus efforts in response to economic crises. The availability of internet banking products has increased the mobility of client deposits. We compete with banks and other financial institutions for deposits. Funding costs may increase because the Company may lose deposits and replace them with more expensive sources of funding. Clients may shift their deposits into higher-cost products, or the Company may need to raise its interest rates to remain competitive in the marketplace. Higher funding costs reduce the Company’s net interest income and net income. Market Risks Changes in interest rates may have an adverse effect on demand for our products and services and on our profitability. Our earnings and cash flows are largely dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and interest expense paid on interest- bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowed funds. The level of net interest income is primarily a function of the average balance of interest-earning assets, the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, and the spread between the yield on such assets and the cost of such liabilities. The narrowing of interest rate spreads could adversely affect our earnings and financial condition. The Federal Reserve increased the federal funds target range by 425 basis points during 2022 in an effort to dampen increasing inflation rates. Interest rate increases have continued into 2023 with a 25 basis point increase on February 1, 2023. We anticipate that there may be further increases throughout 2023, although we cannot control or predict with certainty changes in interest rates. Regional and local economic conditions, competitive pressures, and the policies of regulatory authorities, including monetary policies of the Federal Reserve, affect interest income and interest expense. As of December 31, 2022, 42.0% of our loans were advanced to our clients on a variable or adjustable-rate basis. The higher borrowing costs resulting from the increases by the Federal Reserve may cause financial hardship on our borrowers, reducing the ability of borrowers to repay their current loan obligations. As a result, these increases in interest rates could result in increased loan defaults, foreclosures, and charge-offs and could necessitate further increases to the allowance for credit losses, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. In addition, a decrease in interest rates could negatively impact our margins and profitability and uncertainty about the timing and magnitude of future interest rate increases could reduce borrowing demand and, thus, the need for our lending services. 19 Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only the interest we receive on loans and securities and the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings, but could also adversely affect (1) our ability to originate loans and obtain deposits, (2) the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities, including mortgage servicing rights, (3) our ability to realize gains on the sale of assets, and (4) the average duration of our mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations portfolios. For example, rising interest rates could adversely affect our mortgage banking business because higher interest rates could cause clients to apply for fewer mortgages. Similarly, rising interest rates would increase the required periodic payment for variable rate loans and may result in an increase in non- performing loans. Additionally, rising interest rates may increase the cost of our deposits, which are a primary source of funding. Any substantial, unexpected, or prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material, adverse effect on our cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations. Changes in interest rates can also affect the slope of the yield curve. The impact from a decline in the current yield curve or a flatter or inverted yield curve could cause our net interest income and net interest margin to contract, which could have a material adverse effect on our net income and cash flows, as well as the value of our assets. An inverted yield curve or downward shift in interest rates may also adversely affect the yield on investment securities by increasing the prepayment risk on certain securities. A flattening or inversion of the yield curve or a negative interest rate environment in the United States could create downward pressure on our net interest margin. United States trade policies and other factors beyond the Company’s control, including the imposition of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Uncertainties continue regarding the potential for a renegotiation of international trade agreements by the Biden administration after changes in United States trade policies, legislation, treaties, and tariffs were enacted by the Trump administration. These changes, including trade policies and tariffs affecting other countries, including China, countries comprising the European Union or Middle East, Canada, and Mexico, and retaliatory tariffs by such countries, could materially harm our business. Tariffs and retaliatory tariffs have been imposed, and additional tariffs and retaliatory tariffs are periodically discussed. In addition, COVID-19 and concerns regarding the extent to which it may continue to spread, including the currently discovered and potential future variants of COVID-19, have affected, and may increasingly affect, international trade (including supply chains and export levels), travel, employee productivity and other economic activities. A trade war or other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements or policies, as well as COVID-19 or other potential epidemics or pandemics, have the potential to negatively impact our and/or our clients’ costs, demand for our clients’ products, and/or the U.S. economy or certain sectors thereof and, thus, adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The Company may experience significant competition from new or existing competitors, which may reduce its client base or cause it to adjust prices for its products and services in order to maintain market share. There is intense competition among banks in the Company’s market area. In addition, the Company competes with other providers of financial services, such as savings and loan associations, credit unions, consumer finance companies, securities firms, insurance companies, commercial finance and leasing companies, factoring companies, the mutual funds industry, financial technology (“fintech”) companies, full-service brokerage firms, and discount brokerage firms, some of which are subject to less extensive regulations than us with respect to the products and services they provide. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to adapt our products and services to evolving industry standards and client expectations. There is increasing pressure to provide products and services at lower prices. Lower prices can reduce our net interest margin and revenues from our fee-based products and services. In addition, the adoption of new technologies by competitors, including internet banking services, mobile applications, and advanced ATM functionality, could require us to make substantial expenditures to modify or adapt our existing products and services. Also, these and other capital investments in our business may not produce expected growth in earnings anticipated at the time of the expenditure. The Company may not be successful in introducing new products and services, achieving market acceptance of its products and services, anticipating or reacting to consumers’ changing technological preferences, or developing and maintaining loyal clients. In addition, we could lose market share to the shadow banking system or other non-traditional banking organizations. Some of our larger competitors may have greater capital and resources than the Company, higher lending limits, and products and services not offered by us. Any potential adverse reactions to our financial condition or status in the marketplace, as compared to its competitors, could limit our ability to attract and retain clients and to compete for new business opportunities. The inability to attract and retain clients or to effectively compete for new business may have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. 20 The Company also experiences competition from non-bank companies inside and outside of its market area and, in some cases, from companies other than those traditionally considered financial sector participants. In particular, technology companies have begun to focus on the financial sector and offer software and products primarily over the internet, with an increasing focus on mobile device delivery. These companies generally are not subject to regulatory requirements comparable to those to which financial institutions are subject and may accordingly realize certain cost savings and offer products and services at more favorable rates and with greater convenience to the client. For example, a number of companies offer bill pay and funds transfer services that allow clients to avoid using a bank. Technology companies are generally positioned and structured to quickly adapt to technological advances and directly focus resources on implementing those advances. This competition could result in the loss of fee income and client deposits and related income. In addition, changes in consumer spending and saving habits could adversely affect our operations, and the Company may be unable to develop competitive and timely new products and services in response. As the pace of technology and change advance, continuous innovation is expected to exert long-term pressure on the financial services industry. Many of our loans held for investment and our obligations for borrowed money are priced based on variable interest rates tied to the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, which became unavailable for new originations as of December 31, 2021, and uncertainties caused by any transition away from LIBOR may have material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. LIBOR has been used extensively in the United States as a reference rate for various financial contracts, including adjustable-rate loans, asset-backed securities, and interest rate swaps. On March 5, 2021, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, announced that (i) 24 LIBOR settings would cease to exist immediately after December 31, 2021 (all seven euro LIBOR settings; all seven Swiss franc LIBOR settings; the Spot Next, 1-week, 2-month, and 12-month Japanese yen LIBOR settings; the overnight, 1-week, 2-month, and 12-month sterling LIBOR settings; and the 1-week and 2-month US dollar LIBOR settings); (ii) the 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month US LIBOR settings would cease to exist after June 30, 2023; and (iii) the FCA would consult on whether the remaining nine LIBOR settings should continue to be published on a synthetic basis for a certain period using the FCA’s proposed new powers that the UK government is legislating to grant to them. Central banks and regulators in a number of major jurisdictions (for example, United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Switzerland and Japan) have convened working groups to find, and implement the transition to, suitable replacements for interbank offered rates. The Company relies on USD LIBOR, which ceased to be available for new origination as of December 31, 2021. The Federal Reserve, FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, because of concerns associated with consumer protection, litigation and reputational risks that could in turn create safety and soundness risks, encouraged banks to cease entering into new contracts that use U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as practical. The Company ceased USD LIBOR origination as of December 31, 2021. The cessation of or practical inability to use LIBOR quotes or the future unavailability or unreliability of LIBOR creates substantial risks to the banking industry, including us with LIBOR exposure. Unless alternative rates can be negotiated and become accepted, our variable-rate loans, funding, and derivative obligations that specify the use of a LIBOR index would no longer be able to adjust as anticipated. This could adversely affect our asset and liability management and could lead to more asset and liability mismatches and interest rate risk unless appropriate LIBOR alternatives are developed. It could also disrupt the capital and credit markets as a result of confusion or uncertainty. The Company has programmatically applied LIBOR unavailability within financial contracts, as well as defined alternative indexes for new origination. Legacy LIBOR contracts are being prepared for transition away from LIBOR prior to the June 30, 2023, final cessation date. The market transition away from LIBOR to an alternative reference rate is complex. If LIBOR rates are no longer available and we are required to implement replacement reference rates for the calculation of interest rates under our loan agreements with borrowers, we may incur significant expense in effecting the transition and may be subject to disputes or litigation with our borrowers over the appropriateness or comparability of the replacement reference rates to LIBOR. On December 16, 2022, the Federal Reserve formally adopted a final rule that implements the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act by identifying the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) to replace LIBOR in certain financial contracts after June 30, 2023. SOFR is a broad measure of the cost of overnight borrowings collateralized by Treasury securities. SOFR is different from LIBOR in that it is a backward-looking secured rate rather than a forward-looking unsecured rate. These differences could lead to a greater disconnect between the Company’s preparation and readiness for the replacement of LIBOR with alternative reference rates. The Company is working through this transition via a multi- disciplinary project team, while there could be operational issues that may create a delay in the transition to SOFR or other substitute indices, leading to uncertainty across the industry. These consequences cannot be predicted with certainty and could have an adverse impact on the market value of LIBOR-linked securities, loans, and other financial obligations or extensions of credit. 21 We invest in Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLO) securities, which may expose us to losses in connection with such investments. We invest in certain AAA senior tranches of the capital structure in CLO securities. The senior tranche takes priority with respect to the interest and principal cash flows of the CLO security, while retaining the last priority in a loss scenario. The senior tranches are relatively more liquid than the subordinated notes due to the accompanying credit enhancement. The value of any investment in this asset class could decrease depending on the performance of the underlying collateral in the CLO. As of December 31, 2022, we had available-for-sale CLO securities with an estimated fair value of $1,111.6 million, or 16.0% of our available-for-sale investment portfolio. Operational Risks Our Company faces cyber-security risks, including “denial-of-service attacks,” “hacking,” and “identity theft” that could result in the disclosure of confidential information, adversely affect our business or reputation, and create significant legal and financial exposure. Our computer systems and network infrastructure are subject to security risks and could be susceptible to cyber-attacks, such as denial-of-service attacks, hacking, malware, terrorist activities, or identity theft. Financial services institutions and companies engaged in data processing have reported breaches in the security of their websites or other systems, some of which have involved sophisticated and targeted attacks intended to obtain unauthorized access to confidential information, destroy data, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems, often through the introduction of computer viruses, malware, ransomware, cyber-attacks, and other means. Denial-of-service attacks have been launched against a number of large financial services institutions, primarily resulting in inconvenience. Future ransomware and cyber-attacks could be more disruptive and damaging. Hacking and identity theft risks, in particular, could cause serious reputational harm to the Company and the Bank. The hardware and software we purchase from suppliers to facilitate financial services and perform company operations are also at risk of having embedded malware, viruses, and other methods intended to develop unauthorized access to confidential information. These types of attacks, known as “supply-chain attacks,” have become more prevalent and are creating additional risks through the solutions and tools upon which we rely. While we have a third-party risk management program to oversee our vendors and procurement, our ability to successfully mitigate these risks that occur in the hardware and software of these vendors is limited. To the extent we experience supply-chain attacks, our business and reputation could be materially adversely affected. In addition, we provide our clients with the ability to bank remotely, including online, through their mobile device, and over the telephone. The secure transmission of confidential information over the internet and other remote channels is a critical element of remote banking. Our network could be vulnerable to unauthorized access, computer viruses, malware, phishing schemes, and other internal and external security breaches. We may be required to spend significant capital and other resources to protect against threats, or to alleviate problems caused by security breaches or malicious software. To the extent that our activities or the activities of our clients involve the storage and transmission of confidential information, security breaches, and viruses could expose us to claims, regulatory scrutiny, litigation, and other possible liabilities. Despite efforts to ensure the integrity of our systems, cyber threats are rapidly evolving and we may not be able to anticipate or prevent all such attacks, nor may we be able to implement guaranteed preventive measures against such security breaches. The techniques used by cyber criminals change frequently, may not be recognized until launched or later, and can originate from a wide variety of sources, including outside groups such as external service providers. These risks may increase in the future as we continue to increase our mobile payment and other internet-based product offerings and expand our internal usage of web-based products and applications. Further, targeted social engineering attacks may be sophisticated and difficult to prevent and our employees, clients, or other users of our systems may be fraudulently induced to disclose sensitive information, allowing cyber criminals to gain access to our systems or data of our clients. A successful penetration or circumvention of system security could cause us serious negative consequences, including significant disruption of operations, misappropriation of confidential information, or damage to our computers or systems or to those of our clients and counterparties. A successful security breach could result in violations of applicable privacy and other laws, financial loss to us or to our clients, loss of confidence in our security measures, significant litigation exposure, and harm to our reputation, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. 22 Privacy, information security, and data protection laws, rules, and regulations could affect or limit how we collect and use personal information, increase our costs, and adversely affect our business opportunities. We are subject to various privacy, information security, and data protection laws, including: (i) certain limitations on our ability to share non-public personal information about our clients with non-affiliated third parties; (ii) requirements for certain disclosures to clients about our information collection, sharing, and security practices and that afford clients the right to “opt out” of any information sharing by us with non-affiliated third parties (with certain exceptions); and (iii) requirements that we develop, implement, and maintain a written information security program containing appropriate safeguards based on our size and complexity, the nature and scope of our activities, and the sensitivity of client information we process, as well as plans for responding to data security breaches. Compliance with current or future privacy, data protection, and information security laws (including those regarding security breach notification) affecting client or employee data could result in higher compliance and technology costs and could restrict our ability to provide certain products and services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, or results of operations. Our failure to comply with privacy, data protection, and information security laws could result in potentially significant regulatory or governmental investigations or actions, litigation, fines, sanctions, and damage to our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Our goodwill and other intangible assets may become impaired, which may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets from acquisitions, or goodwill, is evaluated for impairment at least annually and on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates it is likely an impairment has occurred. In testing for impairment, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is in excess of its carrying value. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of the carrying value, the fair value of net assets is estimated based on analyses of our market value, discounted cash flows, and peer values. Consequently, the determination of the fair value of goodwill is sensitive to market-based economics and other key assumptions. Variability in market conditions or in key assumptions could result in impairment of goodwill, which is recorded as a non-cash adjustment to income. An impairment of goodwill could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. As of December 31, 2022, we had goodwill of $1,100.9 million, or 35.8% of our total stockholders’ equity. Identifiable intangible assets other than goodwill consist of core deposit intangibles and other intangible assets (primarily customer relationships). Adverse events or circumstances could impact the recoverability of these intangible assets including loss of core deposits, significant losses of customer accounts and/or balances, increased competition or adverse changes in the economy. To the extent these intangible assets are deemed unrecoverable, a non-cash impairment charge would be recorded which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. The Company relies on other companies to provide certain key components of its business infrastructure. We are reliant upon certain external vendors to provide products and services necessary to maintain our day-to-day operations and we outsource many of our major systems, such as certain data processing, loan servicing, and deposit processing systems. Through our contractual relationships, external vendors are subject to some of the same rules and regulations that are applicable to the Company and their compliance with regulatory requirements is our responsibility. While the Company has selected these external vendors and systems carefully and continues to manage and oversee these vendors, it does not control their operations. Failure of certain external vendors or systems to perform or provide services in accordance with contractual arrangements could be disruptive to our operations and limit our ability to provide certain products and services demanded by our clients. Because our information technology and telecommunications systems interface with and depend on third-party systems, we could experience disruptions if demand for such services exceeds capacity or such third-party systems fail or experience interruptions. If significant, sustained, or repeated, a system failure or disruption could compromise our ability to operate effectively, damage our reputation, result in a loss of client business, and/or subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny and possible financial liability. Any of the failures or disruptions mentioned above could negatively impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and prospects. Replacing these third-party vendors could also entail significant delay and expense. 23 Our reputation is very important to our ability to maintain, attract and retain client relationships and if our reputation were impaired it, could have an adverse effect on the Company. Our clients expect us to deliver personalized financial services with the highest standards of performance, professionalism, compliance, and ethics. Damage to our reputation could undermine retention of our current clients and our ability to attract potential clients while also impairing the confidence of our counterparties and vendors, the result of which affects our ability to effect transactions. Maintaining our reputation depends, in part, on our ability to identify and address issues that may arise such as potential conflicts of interest, anti-money laundering, fair lending issues, client personal information and privacy issues, cyber-security, employee, client and other third-party fraud, record-keeping, regulatory investigations, and any litigation that may arise from the failure or perceived failure of us to comply with legal and regulatory requirements. To maintain our reputation, we also must prevent third parties from infringing on the “First Interstate Bank” brand and associated trademarks and our other intellectual property. Our reputation or prospects could be significantly damaged by adverse publicity or negative information regarding our Company, whether or not true, that may be posted on social media, reported in the news, or posted in other parts of the internet. Defending our reputation, trademarks, and other intellectual property, including through litigation, could result in costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. We are dependent upon the services of our management team and directors and if the services of any of them were to become unavailable, it could have an adverse effect on the Company. Our future success and profitability is substantially dependent upon the management skills of senior management and directors. The unanticipated loss or unavailability of key employees could harm our ability to operate our business or execute our business strategy. The Company faces significant competition in the recruitment of highly motivated individuals who can deliver our Company’s purpose, mission, and values, which has recently intensified as a result of changes in the labor market and COVID-19. The FRB, FDIC, SEC, and other federal regulatory agencies have jointly proposed rules, which would affect incentive compensation. If finalized, these rules may result in additional costs and restrictions on the form of the Company’s incentive compensation. We may not be successful in retaining key employees or finding and integrating suitable successors in the event of key employee loss or unavailability. We may not be able to attract and retain qualified employees to operate our business effectively, which could have an adverse effect on our business. There is substantial competition to attract and retain talented and diverse employees in our markets. It may be difficult for us to attract and retain qualified employees at all management and staffing levels. Failure to attract and retain employees and maintain adequate staffing of qualified personnel could adversely impact our operations and our ability to execute our business strategy. Furthermore, relatively low unemployment rates may lead to significant increases in labor costs such as salaries, wages, and employee benefits expenses as we compete for qualified and skilled employees, which could negatively impact our results of operations and prospects. Costs associated with repossessed properties, including environmental remediation, may adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real property. During the ordinary course of business, we may foreclose on and take title to properties serving as collateral for certain loans. There are significant costs associated with our ownership of these properties including, but not limited to, personnel costs, taxes and insurance, completion and repair costs, and valuation adjustments. Additionally, we may experience unfavorable pricing in connection with our disposition of foreclosed properties. These costs, along with unfavorable pricing upon disposition, may adversely affect our cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations. If hazardous or toxic substances are found on these properties, we may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Environmental laws may require us to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the affected property’s value or limit our ability to use or sell the affected property. In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase our exposure to environmental liability. The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material, adverse effect on our cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations. 24 If our systems of internal operating and accounting controls were to become ineffective, our financial information could be negatively impacted. We establish and maintain systems of internal operational and accounting controls that provide us with critical information used to manage our business. These systems are subject to various inherent limitations, including cost, judgments used in decision-making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or processes and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, any system of internal operating controls may not be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management. From time- to-time, control deficiencies and losses from operational malfunctions or fraud have occurred and may occur in the future. Any future deficiencies, weaknesses, or losses related to internal operating control systems could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. We may not effectively implement technology-facilitated products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our clients, which could negatively impact our business. The financial services industry is continually undergoing rapid technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-facilitated products and services. The effective use of technology enables financial institutions to better serve clients and perform more efficiently. Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to use technology to provide products and services that will satisfy clients’ demands for convenience, as well as create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-facilitated products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our clients. Failure to successfully keep pace with technological change affecting the financial services industry could have a material, adverse impact on our business and, in turn, on our financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. Strategic Risks Difficulties in combining the operations of acquired entities or assets with our own operations or assessing the effectiveness of businesses in which we make strategic investments or with which we enter into strategic contractual relationships may prevent us from achieving the expected benefits from these acquisitions, investments, or relationships. Acquisitions of other companies or of financial assets and related deposits and other liabilities present risks and uncertainties to us based in part on the nature of the business or assets and liabilities acquired. For example, if an acquisition includes loan portfolios, the extent of credit losses following completion of the acquisition could adversely affect our combined results of operations. Similarly, if an acquisition includes deposits, the extent of deposit attrition after closing could adversely affect our combined results of operations. Acquisitions of banking companies typically include both loans and deposits, and the extent of any post-closing credit losses and deposit attrition could be affected by a number of factors, including the state of the economy following the acquisition and the geographic area or markets in which the target operates. If the markets were to react negatively to the announcement of the acquisition, or if the economy were to suffer or enter into a recession following an acquisition, we may not timely, or at all, achieve the expected benefits of an acquisition and our business and the value of our Class A common stock could be harmed. Acquisitions of other companies or of financial assets and related deposits and other liabilities also present risks and uncertainties to us in addition to those presented by the nature of the business acquired. These risks include unanticipated costs incurred in connection with the integration of the acquired business. For example, the total cost and time required to complete the integration successfully could be greater than estimated and result in higher acquisition costs than expected or a loss of market opportunity due to any such delay. Furthermore, the results of litigation or governmental investigations that may have been pending at the time of an acquisition, or may be filed or commenced thereafter, as a result of an acquisition or otherwise, may be materially underestimated and harm our operating results more than originally anticipated. On the other hand, some or all of the anticipated benefits of a particular acquisition, such as cost savings from synergies or strategic gains from being able to offer product sets to a broader potential client base, may not be realized. It can take longer or require greater resources than originally expected to achieve any of such benefits. It also may prove impossible to achieve them at all or in their entirety as a result of unexpected factors or events. As a result, any acquisition could ultimately prove dilutive to our equity and shareholders’ earnings per share, thereby adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations. 25 Acquisitions may also result in business disruptions that could cause clients to remove their accounts from us and move their business to competing financial institutions. It is possible that the integration process related to acquisitions could also result in the disruption of our ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, and policies that could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with clients and employees. The loss of key employees in connection with an acquisition could also adversely affect our ability to successfully conduct our business. Acquisition and integration efforts could divert management attention and resources, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, the operation of the acquired branches may adversely affect our existing profitability, and we may not be able to achieve results in the future similar to those achieved by the existing banking business or manage growth resulting from the acquisition effectively, any of which could harm our business and reputation. In addition to post-acquisition integration related risks, inherent uncertainties exist when assessing or integrating the operations of another business into which we may make an investment or with which we may enter into a commercial relationship. We may not be able to fully achieve the strategic objectives and planned operating efficiencies relevant to an investment or strategic relationship. In addition, the markets and industries in which we and the potential investment targets operate are highly competitive. Investment targets and commercial contract counterparties may lose clients or otherwise perform poorly or unprofitably, or in the case of a strategic relationship, cause us to lose clients or perform poorly or unprofitably. Future investment activities and efforts to monitor or reap the benefits of a new strategic relationship may require us to devote substantial time and resources and may cause these investments and relationships to be unprofitable or cause us to be unable to pursue other business opportunities, any of which could harm our business. We expect to incur significant costs related to acquisitions by merger and subsequent integration activities. We have incurred and expect to incur certain non-recurring costs associated with mergers. These costs include financial advisory, legal, accounting, consulting and other advisory fees, severance/employee benefit-related costs, public company filing fees and other regulatory fees, printing costs, and other related costs. We are also expected to incur substantial costs in connection with the integration of acquired companies. There are a large number of processes, policies, procedures, operations, technologies, and systems that may need to be integrated, including purchasing, accounting and finance, payroll, compliance, treasury management, branch operations, vendor management, risk management, lines of business, pricing, and benefits. While we have assumed that a certain level of costs will be incurred, there are many factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount or the timing of the integration costs. Moreover, many of the costs that will be incurred are, by their nature, difficult to estimate accurately. These integration costs may result in us taking charges against earnings, the amount and timing of which are uncertain at present. Common Stock Risks Volatility in the price and volume of our common stock may be unfavorable. The market price of our common stock is volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in price in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include: general economic conditions; prevailing market conditions; our historical performance and capital structure; estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects; an overall assessment of our management; our performance relative to our peers; • • • • • • • market demand for our shares; • • • • • perceptions of the banking industry in general; political influences on investor sentiment; consumer confidence; consummation of a strategic acquisition or other implementation of our expansion plans; international or domestic hostilities, or other international or domestic calamities, including wars or international conflicts with respect to which the United States may or may not be directly involved; and global conditions, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados, floods, fires, pandemics, and other natural catastrophic events. • At times, the stock markets, including the NASDAQ Stock Market on which our common stock is listed, may experience significant price and volume fluctuations. As a result, the market price of our common stock is likely to be similarly volatile and investors in our common stock may experience a decrease in the value of their shares, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. In addition, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources. 26 “Anti-takeover” provisions and the regulations to which we are subject may also make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if the change in control could be deemed beneficial to stockholders. We are a financial and bank holding company incorporated in the State of Montana. Anti-takeover provisions in Montana law and our articles of incorporation and bylaws, as well as regulatory approvals that would be required under federal law, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us and may prevent stockholders from receiving a premium for their shares of our common stock. These provisions could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could reduce the amount stockholders might receive if we are sold. Our articles of incorporation provide that our Board may issue up to 100,000 shares of preferred stock, in one or more series, without stockholder approval and with such terms, conditions, rights, privileges, and preferences as the Board may deem appropriate. In addition, our articles of incorporation provide for staggered terms for our Board and limitations on persons authorized to call a special meeting of stockholders. In addition, certain provisions of Montana law may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or of impeding a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of our common stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of such common stock. Further, the acquisition of specified amounts of our common stock (in some cases, the acquisition or control of more than 5% of our voting stock) may require certain regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Federal Reserve and one or more of our state banking regulatory agencies. The filing of applications with these agencies and the accompanying review process can take several months. This and the other factors described above may hinder or even prevent a change in control of us, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our dividend policy, or our ability to pay dividends, may change. We are a legal entity separate and distinct from our subsidiary Bank. Since we are a holding company with no significant assets other than the capital stock of our subsidiaries, we depend upon dividends from our Bank for a substantial part of our revenue. Accordingly, our ability to pay dividends, cover operating expenses, and acquire other institutions depends primarily upon the receipt of dividends or other capital distributions from the Bank. The ability of our Bank to pay dividends to us is subject to, among other things, its earnings, financial condition, and need for funds, as well as federal and state governmental policies and regulations applicable to us and the Bank, which limit the amount that may be paid as dividends without prior approval. Although we have historically paid dividends to our stockholders, we have no obligation to continue doing so and may change our dividend policy at any time without notice to our stockholders. Holders of our common stock are only entitled to receive such cash dividends as our board of directors may declare out of funds legally available for such payments. The amount of any dividend declaration is subject to our evaluation of our strategic plans, growth initiatives, capital availability, projected liquidity needs, and other factors. An investment in our common stock is not an insured deposit. Our common stock is not a bank savings account or deposit and, therefore, is not insured against loss by the FDIC, any other deposit insurance fund, or any other public or private entity. As a result, holders of our common stock could lose some or all of their investment. Future equity issuances could result in dilution, which could cause our common stock price to decline. We may issue additional shares of common stock in the future pursuant to current or future employee equity compensation plans or in connection with future acquisitions or financings. Should we choose to raise capital by selling shares of common stock for any reason, the issuance would have a dilutive effect on the holders of our common stock and could have a material negative effect on the market price of our common stock. The common stock is equity and is subordinate to our existing and future indebtedness. Shares of our Class A common stock are equity interests and do not constitute indebtedness. As such, shares of our Class A common stock rank junior to all our indebtedness, including any subordinated term loans, subordinated debentures held by trusts that have issued trust-preferred securities, and other non-equity claims on us with respect to assets available to satisfy claims on us. In the future, we may make additional offerings of debt or equity securities, or we may issue additional debt or equity securities as consideration for future mergers and acquisitions. 27 General Risk Factors The COVID-19 pandemic and government response to the pandemic has caused a significant global disruption which has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business, results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition. Since the onset of the pandemic in the spring of 2020, Federal, state, and local governments have responded to the disease caused by the novel coronavirus (also known as, and referred to herein, as “COVID-19”) pandemic in a variety of ways including, without limitation, by declaring states of emergency and implementing various measures to slow the spread of COVID-19. The initial restrictions and other developments of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in significant adverse effects for many different types of businesses, including, among others, our clients, whether in the retail sales, travel, hospitality, entertainment, or food and beverage industries. These other developments include, among others, supply chain disruptions, decreased demand for our products and services or those of our borrowers, which could increase our credit risk, rising inflation, our ability to maintain sufficient qualified personnel due to labor shortages, talent attrition, employee illness, quarantine, willingness to return to work, face-coverings and other safety requirements, or travel and other restrictions, and the actions taken by governments, businesses and individuals to contain the impact of COVID-19, as well as further actions taken by governmental authorities to limit the resulting economic impact. The initial restrictions have been largely lifted nationally and within the Company’s operating footprint. An increase in virus spread or infection rates, or the emergence of new variants of the virus could result in restrictions being re-implemented with negative impacts on economic activity. The extent to which the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath economic results in sectors disproportionately affected by the pandemic or recession in the U.S. economy or the world economy in general and the Federal, state, and local government responses to it, fiscal stimulus, interest rate policies, and other government intervention, and the recovery in the United States economy impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments that remain uncertain and cannot be predicted. Our business is subject to the risks of certain global conditions, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, tornados, floods, fires, drought, and other natural catastrophic events. A major catastrophe, such as a pandemic, disease outbreak, or other natural disaster including extreme weather or other events, such as an earthquake, tornados, tsunami, flood, fire, drought, winter storms, or other type of natural disaster, could adversely affect our financial condition or results in a prolonged interruption of our business. We have operations and clients in the West and Midwest, a geographical region that has been or may be affected by disease, earthquake, volcano, tsunami, tornados, fires, drought, and flooding activity, which could be adversely impacted by these natural disasters or other severe weather in the region. Unpredictable natural and other disasters could have an adverse effect on the Company in that such events could materially disrupt our operations or the ability or willingness of our clients to access the financial services offered by the Company. These events could reduce our earnings and cause volatility in its financial results for any fiscal quarter or year and have a material, adverse effect on our financial condition and/or results of operations and prospects. Climate change manifesting as physical or transition risks could adversely affect our operations, businesses and customers. There is an increasing concern over the risks of climate change and related environmental sustainability matters. The physical risks of climate change include discrete events, such as flooding and wildfires, and longer-term shifts in climate patterns, such as extreme heat, sea level rise, and more frequent and prolonged drought. Such events could disrupt our operations or those of our clients or third parties on which we rely, including through direct damage to assets and indirect impacts from supply chain disruption and market volatility. Additionally, transitioning to a low carbon economy may entail extensive policy, legal, technology, and market initiatives. Transition risks, including changes in consumer preferences and additional regulatory requirements or taxes, could increase our expenses and undermine our strategies. In addition, our reputation and client relationships may be damaged as a result of our practices related to climate change, including our involvement, or our clients’ involvement, in certain industries or projects associated with causing or exacerbating climate change, as well as any decisions we make to continue to conduct or change our activities in response to considerations relating to climate change. As climate risk is interconnected with all key risk types, we have developed and continue to enhance processes to embed climate risk considerations into our risk management strategies such as market, credit and operational risks; however, because the timing and severity of climate change may not be predictable, our risk management strategies may not be effective in mitigating climate risk exposure.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. We make statements in this section that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All of such forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by reference to the cautionary statements provided under the caption “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included on page 1 in Part I of this report. Furthermore, a number of known and unknown factors may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the following discussion. Therefore, you are encouraged to read in its entirety the information provided under the caption “Risk Factors” included under Item 1A in Part I of this report for a discussion of risk factors that may negatively impact our expected results, performance, or achievements discussed below. Executive Overview We are a financial and bank holding company headquartered in Billings, Montana. As of December 31, 2022, we had consolidated assets of $32.3 billion, deposits of $25.1 billion, loans held for investment of $18.1 billion, and total stockholders’ equity of $3.1 billion. As of December 31, 2022, we had 307 banking offices in operation, including detached drive-up facilities, in communities across Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming. Through our bank subsidiary, FIB, we deliver a comprehensive range of banking products and services—including online and mobile banking—to individuals, businesses, municipalities, and others throughout our market areas. Our clients participate in a wide variety of industries, including: • Agriculture • Construction • Education • Governmental services • Healthcare • Hospitality • Housing • Professional services • Real Estate Development • Retail • Technology • Tourism • Technology • Wholesale trade Our Business Our principal business activity is lending to, accepting deposits from, and conducting financial transactions for individuals, businesses, municipalities, and other entities located in the communities we serve. We derive our income principally from interest charged on loans and, to a lesser extent, from interest and dividends earned on fixed income investments. We also derive income from non-interest sources such as: (i) fees received in connection with various lending and deposit services; (ii) wealth management services, such as trust, employee benefit, investment, and insurance services; (iii) mortgage loan originations, sales, and servicing; (iv) merchant and electronic banking services; and (v) from time-to- time, gains on sales of assets and securities. Our principal expenses include: (i) interest expense on deposits accounts and other borrowings; (ii) salaries and employee benefits; (iii) data processing and communication costs primarily associated with maintaining loan and deposit functions; (iv) furniture, equipment, and occupancy expenses for maintaining our facilities; (v) professional fees, including FDIC insurance assessments; (vi) income tax expense; (vii) provisions for credit losses; (viii) intangible amortization; (ix) other real estate owned expenses; and (x) other ancillary expenses including legal expenses, credit card rewards expense, fees associated with originating and closing loans, insurance, and other expenses necessary to support our employees and service our clients. From time to time, we also incur acquisition costs related to our strategic acquisitions. Our loan portfolio consists of a mix of real estate, consumer, commercial, agricultural, and other loans, including fixed and variable rate loans. Our real estate loans comprise commercial real estate, construction (including residential, commercial, and land development construction loans), residential, agricultural, and other real estate loans. Fluctuations in the loan portfolio are directly related to the economies of the communities we serve. While each loan we originate must meet minimum underwriting standards we establish through our credit policies, our bankers are granted discretion to approve and price loans within pre-approved limits which assures that we are responsive to community needs in each market area and remain competitive. We fund our loan portfolio primarily with the core deposits from our clients and cash flows off of the investment portfolio. We generally do not rely on brokered deposits to fund our loans and rely to a limited extent on wholesale funding sources. For additional information about our underwriting standards and loan approval process, see “Business—Lending Activities,” included in Part I, Item 1 of this report. 31 Recent Trends and DevelopmentsAcquisitionsDuring the past few years, we have increased our community banking footprint across the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Northwest regions and have expanded into the Midwest and Southwest regions, in large part due to our acquisition activity. As part of our overall growth strategy, we will continue to evaluate bank acquisitions and other strategic opportunities in a strategic thoughtful manner in which we believe will provide greater shareholder value.We recently acquired Great Western, the parent company of GWB, a Sioux Falls, South Dakota based community bank, for total consideration of $1,723.3 million, consisting of the issuance of 46.9 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock valued at $36.76 per share, which was the opening price of the Company’s Class A common stock as quoted on the NASDAQ stock market on the acquisition date. The merger was completed on February 1, 2022 and the core systems were converted in May 2022, at which point GWB’s operations were integrated with the Company’s operations. The acquisition of GWB’s 174 banking offices across Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota expanded the Company’s geographical footprint. The accompanying consolidated statements of income for the period ended December 31, 2022, include the results of operations of the acquired entity from the February 1, 2022 acquisition date.Common StockOn March 25, 2022, all outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B common stock automatically converted into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”). No additional shares of Class B common stock are permitted to be issued. The former holders of Class B common stock now hold Class A common stock with the same voting powers, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the other holders of Class A common stock. All shares of the Company’s outstanding capital stock are now composed solely of shares of Class A common stock and are entitled to one vote per share. The Company’s Class A common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the ticker symbol “FIBK.”Economic Conditions U.S. inflation data hit a multi-decade high in June 2022, climbing to 9.1%, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and then decreased to 6.5% in December 2022. The effect of inflation on the Company differs significantly from the effect on other industries. While our operating expenses are affected by general inflation, the asset and liability structure of the Company is largely of monetary items. Monetary items, such as cash, investments, loans, deposits and other borrowings, are those assets and liabilities which are or will be converted into a fixed number of dollars regardless of changes in prices. As a result, changes in interest rates have more of an impact on a Company’s performance than does general inflation. However, inflation may have negative impacts on the Company’s clients, including on their businesses and consumers and their ability or willingness to invest, save or spend. It may also impact their ability to repay loans.The Federal Reserve has stated its objective of returning inflation to 2% and has been aggressively acting to achieve this goal. In response to sustained inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve increased short-term interest rates 450 basis points between March 16, 2022 and February 2, 2023. While there have been some signs that general inflation pressures are easing, the Federal Reserve has continued to raise interest rates into 2023 and is currently reducing its ownership of agency mortgage-backed securities and treasury securities. With these recent interest rate increases, the short end (up to two years) of the yield curve has increased. Net interest income continued to rise into the end of 2022 as a result of higher yields and a more favorable asset mix. However, increases in interest rates may have negative impacts on the Company’s funding base, as the Company’s deposits have recently declined, following industry-wide trends, and could potentially diminish our clients demand for and their ability to repay loans.Gross domestic product declined 2.2% for the first and second quarters of 2022, increased 3.2% for the third quarter of 2022, and increased 2.9% in the fourth quarter of 2022. It is unclear whether the economic performance of the U.S. economy in 2022 will result in an economic slowdown, downturn, or recession in 2023 or after; any one of which could impact the Company. Such changes impact the level of deposits by our clients, and thus impact one of our primary lending sources, by causing higher volumes of withdrawals or lower volume of deposits by our clients. The credit quality of the Company’s loans may also be impacted as clients weather adverse economic conditions which could result in an increase in credit losses or other related expenses.COVID-19Management continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s financial results. Over the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected our operations to a limited degree, although it has had varying degrees of disruptions and restrictions on our clients and to our clients’ operations, staffing, and demand for certain products and services.32 Primary Factors Used in Evaluating Our BusinessAs a banking institution, we manage and evaluate our financial condition and our results of operations. We monitor and evaluate the levels and trends of the line items included in our balance sheet and statements of income, as well as various financial ratios that are commonly used in our industry. We analyze these ratios and financial trends against both our own historical levels as well as and the financial condition and performance of comparable banking institutions in our region and nationally.Results of OperationsPrincipal tools we use to manage and evaluate the results of our operations include tracking performance through metrics such as return on average equity, return on average assets, efficiency ratio, non-interest expense as a percent of total average assets, earnings per share, total shareholder return, net interest income, non-interest income, non-interest expense, and net income. Net interest income is affected by a number of factors such as the level of interest rates, changes in interest rates, and changes in the volume and composition of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in interest rate spread, which is the difference between interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities, has the most significant impact on net interest income. Other factors like volume of loans, investment securities, and other interest earning assets, compared to the volume of interest-bearing deposits and other indebtedness, also cause changes in our net interest income between periods. Non-interest bearing sources of funds, such as demand deposits and stockholders’ equity, help support earning assets. The impact of funding, including non-interest-bearing deposit sources, is captured in the net interest margin, which is calculated as net interest income divided by average earning assets. We evaluate our net interest income by assessing the yields on our loans and other earning assets, the costs of our deposits and other funding sources, and the levels of our net interest spread and net interest margin.We seek to increase our non-interest income over time, and we evaluate our non-interest income relative to the trends of the individual types of non-interest income in view of changes in the regulatory environment and prevailing market conditions. We manage our non-interest expenses in consideration of growth opportunities and our community banking model that emphasizes client service and responsiveness. We evaluate our non-interest expense on factors that include our non-interest expense relative to our average assets, our efficiency ratio, and the trends of the individual categories of non-interest expense.Finally, we seek to increase our net income and provide favorable shareholder returns over time, and we evaluate our net income relative to the performance of similar bank holding companies on factors that include return on average assets, return on average equity, total shareholder return, and growth in earnings.Financial ConditionWe manage and evaluate our financial condition by focusing on liquidity, the diversification and quality of our loans, the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses, the diversification and terms of our deposits and other funding sources, the re-pricing characteristics and maturities of our assets and liabilities, including potential interest rate exposure, and the adequacy of our capital levels. We seek to maintain sufficient levels of cash and investment securities to meet potential payment and funding obligations, and we evaluate our liquidity on factors that include the levels of cash and highly liquid assets relative to our liabilities, the quality and maturities of our investment securities, the ratio of loans held for investment to deposits, and any reliance on brokered certificates of deposit or other wholesale funding sources.We seek to maintain a diverse and high-quality loan portfolio and evaluate our asset quality on factors that include the allocation of our loans among loan types, credit exposure to any single borrower or industry type, non-performing assets as a percentage of loans held for investment and OREO, and loan charge-offs as a percentage of average loans. We maintain our allowance for credit losses based on an estimate of expected credit losses in the loans held for investment portfolio over the life of the loan, including the incorporation of a one-year forecast period at each balance sheet date, and we evaluate the level of our allowance for credit losses relative to our overall loan portfolio and the level of non-performing loans and potential charge-offs.We seek to fund our assets primarily using core client deposits spread among various deposit categories, and we evaluate our deposit and funding mix on factors that include the allocation of our deposits among deposit types, the level of our non-interest-bearing deposits, the ratio of our core deposits (i.e. excluding time deposits above $250,000) to our total deposits, and our reliance on brokered deposits or other wholesale funding sources, such as borrowings from other banks or agencies. We seek to manage the mix, maturities, and re-pricing characteristics of our assets and liabilities to maintain relative stability of our net interest rate margin in a changing interest rate environment, and we evaluate our asset-liability management using models to evaluate the changes to our net interest income under different interest rate scenarios.33 Finally, we seek to maintain adequate capital levels to absorb unforeseen operating losses and to help support the growth of our balance sheet. We evaluate our capital adequacy using the regulatory and financial capital ratios including leverage capital ratio, tier 1 common capital to total risk-weighted assets, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and total risk-based capital ratio. Critical Accounting Estimates and Significant Accounting Policies Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States and follow practices prescribed within the banking industry. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant accounting policies we follow are summarized in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report. Our critical accounting estimates are summarized below. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or the use of different estimates that management could have reasonably used in the current period, would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, results of operations, or liquidity. Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that creates an allowance for credit losses expected over the life of loans at each balance sheet date, which is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Increases in the allowance are recorded through net income as a provision for credit loss expense. Decreases in the allowance are recorded through net income as a reversal of provision for credit loss expense. Loans are charged-off against the allowance when management confirms the uncollectibility of a loan balance. Expected recoveries recorded in the valuation account do not exceed the aggregate of loan amounts previously charged-off and loans expected to be charged-off. The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses in the loans held for investment portfolio over the life of the loan, including the incorporation of a one-year forecast period for economic conditions. We perform a quarterly assessment of the risks inherent in our loan portfolio, as well as a detailed review of each significant loan we have assessed to have weaknesses that does not share common risk characteristics with other loans. Based on this analysis, we record a provision for credit losses in order to maintain the allowance for credit losses at appropriate levels. In determining the allowance for credit losses, management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as for changes in environmental and economic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, or other relevant factors. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. For loans acquired in a business combination with no significant evidence of credit deterioration since origination, the Company estimates an allowance for credit losses of the loans determined using the same methodology as other loans held for investment. The allowance for credit losses is maintained at an amount we believe to be sufficient to provide for estimated losses expected over the life of the loans at each balance sheet date resulting from management’s assessment of the quantitative and qualitative factors utilized to determine the allowance for credit losses. Management monitors qualitative and quantitative trends in the loan portfolio, including changes in the levels of past due, internally classified, and non- performing loans. Changes in the estimates and assumptions are possible and may have a material impact on our allowance, and as a result, on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for a description of the methodology used to determine the allowance for credit losses and our policy pertaining to acquired loans. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Loans” for a discussion on the factors driving changes in the amount of the allowance for credit losses. See also Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors—Credit Risks.” 34 Goodwill The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets from acquisitions, or goodwill, is evaluated for impairment at least annually and on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates it is likely impairment has occurred. Goodwill impairment is determined by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount. In any given year, the Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is in excess of its carrying value. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of the carrying value, or if the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, a quantitative impairment test is performed. In performing a quantitative test for impairment, the fair value of net assets is estimated based on analyses of the Company’s market value, discounted cash flows, and peer values. The determination of goodwill impairment is sensitive to market-based economics and other key assumptions used in determining or allocating fair value. Variability in the market and changes in assumptions or subjective measurements used to estimate fair value are reasonably possible and may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations. Our annual goodwill impairment test is performed each year as of July 1. The Company performed its 2022 annual goodwill impairment qualitative assessment and determined the Company’s goodwill was not considered impaired. For additional information regarding goodwill, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report and “Risk Factors—Operational Risks,” included in Part I, Item 1A of this report. Fair Values of Loans Acquired in Business Combinations Loans acquired in business combinations are initially recorded at fair value as adjusted for credit risk and an allowance for credit losses at the date of acquisition. For loans with no significant evidence of credit deterioration since origination, the difference between the fair value and the unpaid principal balance of the loan at the acquisition date is amortized into interest income using the effective interest method over the remaining period to contractual maturity. Loans acquired with evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination, or PCD loans, are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 326-20 “Financial instruments - credit losses.” Determining the fair value of the loans involves estimating the amount and timing of principal and interest cash flows initially expected to be collected on the loans and then discounting those cash flows at an appropriate market rate of interest. An allowance for credit losses is recognized by estimating the expected credit losses of the purchased asset and recording an adjustment to the acquisition date fair value to establish the initial amortized cost basis of the asset. Differences between the established fair value, or amortized cost basis, and the unpaid principal balance of the asset is considered to be a non-credit discount/premium and is accreted/ amortized into interest income using the interest method accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-10. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through provision for credit loss expense using the same methodology as other loans held for investment. For additional information regarding acquired loans, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Acquisitions,” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Loans Held for Investment,” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report. Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide detail about the results of operations by comparing the years ended December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2021. A similar discussion and analysis that compares the fiscal year 2021 to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, may be found in Part II, Item 7, “Results of Operations” of our Form 10- K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference. Net Income Net income increased $10.1 million, or 5.3%, to $202.2 million, or $1.96 per diluted share, in 2022, compared to $192.1 million, or $3.11 per diluted share, in 2021. This included $118.9 million of acquisition related expenses in 2022 related to the 2022 acquisition of GWB compared to $11.6 million of acquisition related expenses incurred in 2021. The after-tax impact of acquisition related expenses on earnings per share was $0.90 and $0.15 in 2022 and 2021, respectively. 35 Performance Ratios As of or for the year ended December 31, Return on average assets Return on average common stockholders’ equity Efficiency ratio (1) Common stock dividend payout ratio (2) 2022 2021 2020 0.65 % 6.34 67.83 86.73 1.02 % 9.73 61.94 52.56 1.00 % 8.12 57.61 79.05 (1) Our efficiency ratio definition conforms with the FDIC definition for all periods presented as non-interest expense less amortization of intangible assets divided by net interest income plus non-interest income. (2) Common stock dividend payout ratio represents dividends per common share divided by basic earnings per common share. Net Interest Income Net interest income, the largest source of our operating income, is derived from interest, dividends, and fees received on interest earning assets, less interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities. Interest earning assets primarily include loans and investment securities. Interest bearing liabilities include deposits and various forms of indebtedness. Net interest income is affected by the level of interest rates, changes in interest rates, volume of loans, and changes in the composition of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in interest rate spread, which is the difference between interest earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities, has the most significant impact on net interest income. Other factors like volume of loans, investment securities, and other interest earning assets compared to the volume of interest-bearing deposits and other indebtedness also cause changes in our net interest income between periods. Non-interest-bearing sources of funds, such as demand deposits and stockholders’ equity, help to support earning assets. Net interest income increased $453.4 million to $942.6 million during 2022, as compared to $489.2 million in 2021. On a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis, net interest income increased $459.3 million during 2022. The increase is a result of the impact of higher levels of earning assets largely related to the GWB acquisition and higher market yields on earning assets following the Federal Fund rate increases during 2022. Also contributing to the increase in net interest income during 2022, as compared to 2021, was interest accretion related to the fair value of acquired loans of $50.4 million during 2022 as compared to $9.1 million in 2021, of which $21.8 million was the result of early loan payoffs during 2022, as compared to $5.0 million in 2021. There were no material recoveries of previously charged-off loan interest in 2022 or 2021. Partially offsetting these increases in net interest income were decreased levels of interest income earned as the Payroll Protection Program (“PPP”) loans were forgiven, and increased interest expense on other borrowed funds, and higher cost of funds on interest-bearing deposit balances. The Company’s net interest margin ratio increased 51 basis points to 3.36% during 2022, as compared to 2.85% in 2021. Exclusive of interest accretion related to loans acquired through acquisition and the impact of recoveries of charged- off interest, our 2022 net interest margin ratio increased 38 basis points over our similarly calculated net interest margin ratio in 2021, as a result of a shift in the mix of earning assets toward investment securities and loans and increases in yields on earning assets, partially offset by higher costs associated with interest bearing liabilities. 36 The following table presents, for the periods indicated, condensed average balance sheet information using daily average balances, together with interest income and yields earned on average interest earning assets and interest expense and rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities.

(2) Management believes fully taxable equivalent, or FTE, interest income is useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance as a comparison of the returns between a tax-free investment and a taxable alternative. The Company adjusts interest income and average rates for tax exempt loans and securities to a FTE basis utilizing a 26.25%, 21.00%, and 21.00% tax rate for 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. (3) Net FTE interest margin during the period equals (i) the difference between interest income on interest earning assets and the interest expense on interest bearing liabilities, divided by (ii) average interest earning assets for the period. (4) Calculated by dividing total interest on interest-bearing liabilities by the sum of total interest-bearing liabilities plus non-interest- bearing deposits. 37 The table below sets forth, for the periods indicated, a summary of the changes in interest income and interest expense resulting from estimated changes in average asset and liability balances (volume) and estimated changes in average interest rates (rate). Changes which are not due solely to volume or rate have been allocated to these categories based on the respective percent changes in average volume and average rate as they compare to each other.Analysis of Interest Changes Due To Volume and RatesYear Ended December 31, 2022compared withDecember 31, 2021Year Ended December 31, 2021compared withDecember 31, 2020Year Ended December 31, 2020compared withDecember 31, 2019(Dollars in millions)VolumeRateNetVolumeRateNetVolumeRateNetInterest earning assets: Loans (1)$ 308.6 $ 57.4 $ 366.0 $ (1.7) $ (21.8) $ (23.5) $ 50.3 $ (67.8) $ (17.5) Investment Securities (1) 61.9 83.1 145.0 42.8 (35.7) 7.1 13.8 (12.0) 1.8 Investment in FHLB and FRB Stock 1.2 2.6 3.8 — 0.2 0.2 0.1 (0.5) (0.4) Interest bearing deposits in banks (0.7) 6.8 6.1 2.3 (3.8) (1.5) 9.2 (23.9) (14.7) Total change 371.0 149.9 520.9 43.4 (61.1) (17.7) 73.4 (104.2) (30.8) Interest bearing liabilities: Demand deposits 1.2 12.7 13.9 0.5 (0.9) (0.4) 1.7 (8.1) (6.4) Savings deposits 1.2 21.8 23.0 0.5 (1.4) (0.9) 2.7 (18.7) (16.0) Time deposits 2.7 0.6 3.3 (2.4) (6.3) (8.7) (3.8) (5.0) (8.8) Repurchase agreements — 2.1 2.1 0.3 (0.8) (0.5) 0.5 (3.5) (3.0) Other borrowed funds — 15.3 15.3 — — — — — — Long-term debt 0.5 (0.5) — 2.2 (0.8) 1.4 5.2 (1.9) 3.3 Subordinated debentures held by subsidiary trusts 2.2 1.8 4.0 — (0.2) (0.2) — (1.5) (1.5) Total change 7.8 53.8 61.6 1.1 (10.4) (9.3) 6.3 (38.7) (32.4) Increase in FTE net interest income (1)$ 363.2 $ 96.1 $ 459.3 $ 42.3 $ (50.7) $ (8.4) $ 67.1 $ (65.5) $ 1.6 (1)Interest income and average rates for tax exempt loans and securities are presented on a FTE basis.Provision for Credit LossesFluctuations in the provision for credit losses reflect management’s estimate of possible credit losses based upon the composition of our loan portfolio, evaluation of the borrowers’ ability to repay, collateral value underlying loans, loan loss trends, and estimated effects of current and forecasted economic conditions on our loans held for investment and investment securities portfolios.During 2022, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $82.7 million, as compared to a $14.6 million reversal of provision for credit losses in 2021. The provision during 2022 includes $68.4 million related to loans held for investment, of which $59.5 million was related to acquired non-PCD loans related to the acquisition of GWB, $12.4 million related to unfunded commitments, and $1.9 million related to held-to-maturity securities. The allowance for credit losses is updated quarterly based on the current loan and investment securities portfolios, asset quality metrics, and a review of the current economic outlook. The provision for credit losses is reflective of net charge-offs of $30.1 million, or 0.18% of average loans outstanding, for 2022, compared to $7.3 million, or 0.07% of average loans outstanding in 2021. For information regarding our non-performing loans, see “Non-Performing Assets” included herein. For information regarding our allowance for credit losses, see “Financial Condition—Allowance for Credit Losses” included herein.38 Non-interest IncomeOur principal sources of non-interest income primarily include fee-based revenues such as payment services, mortgage banking and wealth management revenues, service charges on deposit accounts, and other service charges, commissions, and fees. The following table presents the composition of our non-interest income as of the dates indicated:Non-interest IncomeYear Ended December 31,$ Change% Change(Dollars in millions)2022202120202022 vs 20212021 vs 20202022 vs 20212021 vs 2020Payment services revenues$ 74.1 $ 45.1 $ 41.1 $ 29.0 $ 4.0 64.3 % 9.7 %Mortgage banking revenues 18.7 40.8 47.3 (22.1) (6.5) (54.2) (13.7) Wealth management revenues 34.3 26.3 23.8 8.0 2.5 30.4 10.5 Service charges on deposit accounts 24.6 16.5 17.6 8.1 (1.1) 49.1 (6.3) Other service charges, commissions, and fees 15.5 7.9 12.1 7.6 (4.2) 96.2 (34.7) Investment securities (losses) gains, net (24.4) 1.1 0.3 (25.5) 0.8 NM 266.7 Other income* 20.4 11.8 13.7 8.6 (1.9) 72.9 (13.9) Total non-interest income$ 163.2 $ 149.5 $ 155.9 $ 13.7 $ (6.4) 9.2 (4.1) * Certain reclassifications, none of which were material, have been made to conform 2020 and 2021 amounts to the 2022 presentation.Non-interest income increased $13.7 million, or 9.2%, to $163.2 million in 2022, as compared to $149.5 million in 2021. Significant components of these fluctuations are discussed below. Payment services revenues consist of interchange revenue that merchants pay for processing electronic payment transactions, associated fees earned from the issuance of business credit cards, consumer credit cards, and debit cards, and ATM service fees. Payment services revenues increased $29.0 million, or 64.3%, to $74.1 million in 2022, as compared to $45.1 million for the same period in 2021, mainly as result of increased volume associated with the acquisition of GWB.Mortgage banking revenues include origination and processing fees on residential real estate loans held for sale, gains on residential real estate loans sold to third parties, income earned from the servicing of mortgages originated by the Company which are held by third parties, and any impairments to or subsequent recovery of the Company’s mortgage servicing rights valuation. Mortgage banking revenues decreased $22.1 million, or 54.2%, to $18.7 million in 2022, as compared to $40.8 million in 2021, primarily as a result of the decline in both home loan production volume as a result of rising interest rates, along with tighter gain-on-sale spreads compared to 2021. The realized revenue was also impacted by a $3.4 million recovery of a previous impairment of our mortgage servicing rights during 2022 as compared with a $6.9 million recovery in 2021.Wealth management revenues are principally comprised of fees earned for management of trust assets and investment services. Wealth management revenues increased $8.0 million in 2022, or 30.4%, to $34.3 million, as compared to $26.3 million in 2021, primarily due to increased volume associated with the acquisition of GWB, which were partially offset by the decline in market values impacting assets under management, which is the basis on which we assess fees. The Company had $7.5 billion of assets under management at December 31, 2022 compared to $5.9 billion at December 31, 2021.Service charge fees are primarily driven by service and overdraft charges on deposit accounts. These service charges increased $8.1 million, or 49.1%, to $24.6 million in 2022, as compared to $16.5 million in 2021. The increase in 2022 is primarily due to increased volume as a result of the acquisition of GWB, partially offset by the Company’s decision to discontinue assessing non-sufficient fund charges and reducing overdraft fees mid-year, and the decision to increase the earnings credit rate on business deposits late in the year. Other service charges, commissions, and fees primarily include fees earned on certain derivative interest rate contracts, insurance commissions, and safe deposit boxes. Other service charges, commissions, and fees increased $7.6 million, or 96.2%, to $15.5 million in 2022, as compared $7.9 million in 2021, primarily due to increased volume as a result of the acquisition of GWB and increased swap fee revenues earned on derivative interest rate swap contracts offered to clients.Investment securities gains (losses), net includes realized gains and losses associated with the sales of investment securities. Investment securities gain (losses), net decreased $25.5 million to a loss of $24.4 million as compared to a gain of $1.1 million during 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a loss of $46.3 million incurred on the sale of $500 million in U.S. treasury notes previously swapped, partially offset by the recognition of the remaining deferred swap termination gain of $22.1 million. Notional proceeds from the transactions were reinvested back into the securities portfolio at higher yields, with the incremental interest income recovering the net realized loss in approximately 2.5 years.39 Other income primarily includes company-owned life insurance revenues, check printing income, agency stock dividends, and gains on sales of miscellaneous assets. Other income increased $8.6 million, or 72.9%, to $20.4 million in 2022, as compared to $11.8 million for the same period in 2021, primarily due to an increase in the cash surrender value of life insurance of $4.9 million, a $1.7 million recovery in the credit valuation discount on derivatives acquired in the GWB acquisition, and a $1.4 million gain on the disposition of the GWB acquired subordinated debt.Non-interest ExpenseNon-interest expense increased $360.5 million, or 88.9%, to $766.0 million in 2022, as compared to $405.5 million in 2021. The increase was mainly a result of $118.9 million of acquisition expenses related to the GWB acquisition, increased operating expenses related to the GWB acquisition, and higher incentive and donation expenses as a result of Company performance. The following table presents the composition of our non-interest expense as of the dates indicated:Non-interest ExpenseYear Ended December 31,$ Change% Change(Dollars in millions)2022202120202022 vs 20212021 vs 20202022 vs 20212021 vs 2020Salaries and wages$ 282.1 $ 164.9 $ 173.7 $ 117.2 $ (8.8) 71.1 % (5.1) %Employee benefits 77.5 55.8 49.4 21.7 6.4 38.9 13.0 Outsourced technology services 54.3 32.8 32.8 21.5 — 65.5 — Occupancy, net 44.0 28.7 28.5 15.3 0.2 53.3 0.7 Furniture and equipment 23.4 17.6 15.5 5.8 2.1 33.0 13.5 OREO expense, net of income 2.3 (0.2) (0.5) 2.5 0.3 NM (60.0) Professional fees 19.1 12.1 10.9 7.0 1.2 57.9 11.0 FDIC insurance premiums 14.0 6.6 5.9 7.4 0.7 112.1 11.9 Other intangibles amortization 15.9 9.9 10.9 6.0 (1.0) 60.6 (9.2) Other expenses 114.5 65.7 60.4 48.8 5.3 74.3 8.8 Acquisition related expenses 118.9 11.6 — 107.3 11.6 NM — Total non-interest expense$ 766.0 $ 405.5 $ 387.5 $ 360.5 $ 18.0 88.9 4.6 Salaries and wages expense increased $117.2 million, or 71.1%, to $282.1 million in 2022, as compared to $164.9 million in 2021, primarily as a result of the additional employee-related expenses resulting from the acquisition of GWB, a fuel stipend provided to lower wage earners for six months, an increase of minimum wage to $17, and higher incentive accruals, which were partially offset by lower commission expenses.Employee benefits expense increased $21.7 million, or 38.9%, to $77.5 million in 2022, as compared to $55.8 million in 2021, primarily due to higher benefit costs related to the additional employees resulting from the GWB acquisition.Outsourced technology services primarily includes technology services related to the core system platform, software as a service products, automated teller machines, technology equipment and software maintenance. Outsourced technology services expense increased $21.5 million, or 65.5%, to $54.3 million in 2022, as compared to $32.8 million in 2021, primarily due to inflationary impacts to technology contracts and costs associated with higher transaction volumes associated with the GWB acquisition.The increases in net occupancy expense, furniture and equipment, professional fees, FDIC insurance premiums, and other intangibles amortization during 2022, as compared to 2021 are primarily due to additional operating expenses, maintenance and repairs, and depreciation from the additional banking offices added in the GWB acquisition, along with higher amortization, legal and consulting costs related to the GWB acquisition.Other expenses primarily include advertising and public relations costs; office supply, postage, freight, telephone, and travel expenses; donations expense; debit and credit card expenses; board of director fees; legal expenses; and other operational losses. Other expenses increased $48.8 million, or 74.3%, to $114.5 million in 2022, as compared to $65.7 million in 2021. The increase in other expenses are mainly attributable to the GWB acquisition. Donations expense is calculated based on net income before tax, resulting in a year-over-year increase. Acquisition related expenses primarily include legal and professional fees; technology, conversion, and contract termination costs; employee severance and retention payments; and travel expenses. Acquisition related expenses of $118.9 million were incurred during 2022 related to the 2022 acquisition of GWB, compared to $11.6 million of acquisition related expenses incurred during 2021. For additional information regarding our GWB acquisition, see “Recent Trends and Developments” included herein and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Acquisitions,” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report.40 Income Tax ExpenseOur effective federal tax rate was 16.1% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 17.4% for the year ended December 31, 2021. Fluctuations in effective federal income tax rates are primarily due to an increase in tax exempt interest income realized from the loan portfolio acquired in the GWB acquisition and an increase in the cash surrender value of company owned life insurance, which was partially offset by an increase in non-deductible acquisition costs and an increase in the non-deductible portion of FDIC premium expense related to the Company’s increase in total assets related to the GWB acquisition.State income tax applies primarily to pretax earnings generated within Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, and South Dakota. Our effective state tax rate was 5.2% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 5.1% for the year ended December 31, 2021.Financial ConditionThe financial condition discussion below is based upon our Consolidated Balance Sheet in Part IV, Item 15 of this Report. A similar discussion and analysis comparing fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 may be found in Part II, Item 7, “Financial Condition” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference.Total assets increased $12,615.9 million, or 64.1%, to $32,287.8 million as of December 31, 2022, from $19,671.9 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily due to $13,351.8 million of assets acquired in the acquisition of GWB. Significant fluctuations in balance sheet accounts are discussed below.Investment SecuritiesWe manage our investment portfolio to obtain the highest yield possible while meeting our risk tolerance and liquidity guidelines and satisfying the pledging requirements for deposits of state and political subdivisions and securities sold under repurchase agreements. Our portfolio principally comprises U.S treasuries, U.S. government agency residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, U.S. government agency, corporate securities, and tax-exempt securities. Debt securities rated in the highest category by nationally recognized rating agencies and held-to-maturity debt securities backed by the U.S. Government and government sponsored agencies, both on a direct and indirect basis, represented approximately 94.4% of the investment portfolio at December 31, 2022. All other held-to-maturity debt securities rated below AAA, not backed by the U.S. Government or government sponsored agencies, or which are not rated represented approximately 5.6% of total debt securities at December 31, 2022. Federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in the Bank are additional investments that are classified as cash equivalents rather than as investment securities. Investment securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value, while investment securities classified as held-to-maturity are recorded at amortized cost. Unrealized gains or losses, net of the deferred tax effect, on available-for-sale securities are reported as increases or decreases in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, a component of stockholders’ equity. Investment securities increased $3,889.8 million, or 59.8%, to $10,397.9 million as of December 31, 2022, from $6,508.1 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to $2,699.0 million of securities acquired in the GWB acquisition and the redeployment of cash and cash equivalents into the securities portfolio. In conjunction with the acquisition of GWB, the Company transferred debt securities categorized as held-to-maturity with an estimated fair value of $10.9 million to the available-for-sale category classification and transferred debt securities categorized as available-for-sale with an estimated fair value of $463.6 million to the held-to-maturity classification during the first quarter of 2022.In 2022, the Company terminated the $500.0 million, two-year forward starting, three-year pay-fixed interest rate swap, resulting in a $23.3 million gain. The gain associated with the $500.0 million interest rate swap was to be accreted into income through May 2026. However, the U.S. Treasury securities associated with the swap were sold on September 1, 2022 for a loss of $46.3 million. As such, the derivative gain was accreted through August 2022 and then in September 2022 the remaining derivative gain of $22.1 million was recognized as income in investment securities gains (losses), for a net loss of $24.2 million. The Company also terminated the $200.0 million, three-year forward starting, four-year pay fixed interest rate swap, resulting in a $8.5 million gain that will be accreted into income through July 2028. See Notes “Investment Securities” and “Derivatives and Hedging Activities” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report for additional details.As of December 31, 2022, the estimated duration of our investment portfolio was 3.7 years, as compared to 3.6 years as of December 31, 2021. The weighted average yield on investment securities increased 83 basis points to 2.19% in 2022, from 1.36% in 2021.41 As of December 31, 2022, investment securities with amortized costs and fair values of $4,998.9 million and $4,432.0 million, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and securities sold under repurchase agreements, as compared to $2,617.8 million and $2,610.8 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. For additional information concerning securities sold under repurchase agreements, see “—Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements” included herein.Mortgage-backed securities and, to a limited extent other securities, have uncertain cash flow characteristics that present additional interest rate risk in the form of prepayment or extension risk primarily caused by changes in market interest rates. This additional risk is generally rewarded in the form of higher yields. Maturities of mortgage-backed securities presented below are included in maturity categories based on their stated maturity date. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. As of December 31, 2022, the carrying value of our investments in non-agency mortgage-backed securities totaled $264.9 million. All other mortgage-backed securities included in the table below were issued by U.S. government agencies and corporations. As of December 31, 2022, there were no significant concentrations of investments (greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity) in any individual security issuer, except for U.S. government or agency-backed securities.Approximately 77.9% and 82.7% of our tax-exempt securities were general obligation securities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of which 38.0% and 72.8%, respectively, were issued by political subdivisions or agencies within the states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming.As of December 31, 2022, we had investment securities with fair values aggregating $2,620.8 million that had been in a continuous loss position more than 12 months.

Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Minneapolis and the FRB system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company held $198.6 million and $53.8 million, respectively, in equity securities in a combination of FRB and FHLB stocks, which are restricted nonmarketable securities acquired to meet regulatory requirements. These securities are carried at cost. 43 Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale consist of residential mortgage loans pending sale to investors in the secondary market and loans reclassified from loans held for investment due to management’s intent and decision to sell the loans. Loans held for sale increased $49.8 million, or 165.4%, to $79.9 million as of December 31, 2022, compared to $30.1 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily due to $217.0 million of certain agricultural and commercial loans transferred from loans held for investment to loans held for sale as a result of the GWB acquisition and a transfer of a commercial construction loan from loans held for investment during 2022, which was partially offset by resolutions of $142.3 million of loans acquired from GWB and a decrease in mortgage loan activity.

Loans held for investment included PPP loans, net of deferred fees, of $5.0 million and $96.3 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Excluding the impact of GWB acquired loans and PPP loans, loans held for investment as of December 31, 2022, increased $1,153.8 million from December 31, 2021, primarily driven by increases in real estate and consumer loans, partially offset by a decrease in agricultural loans. 44 The following table presents the composition and comparison of loans held for investment, including the February 1, 2022 loans acquired from GWB: GWB Acquired Loans as of February 1, 2022December 31,2022December 31,2021$ Change% ChangeReal estate loans: Commercial$ 8,528.6 $ 3,971.5 $ 4,557.1 114.7 %$ 3,968.8 Construction loans:Land acquisition & development 386.2 247.8 138.4 55.9 116.4 Residential 516.2 262.0 254.2 97.0 122.1 Commercial 1,042.0 498.0 544.0 109.2 245.1 Total construction loans 1,944.4 1,007.8 936.6 92.9 483.6 Residential 2,188.3 1,538.2 650.1 42.3 495.0 Agricultural 794.9 213.9 581.0 271.6 631.8 Total real estate loans 13,456.2 6,731.4 6,724.8 99.9 5,579.2 Consumer loans:Indirect 829.7 737.6 92.1 12.5 13.5 Direct and advance lines 152.9 129.2 23.7 18.3 17.0 Credit card 75.9 64.9 11.0 16.9 11.9 Total consumer loans 1,058.5 931.7 126.8 13.6 42.4 Commercial 2,882.6 1,475.5 1,407.1 95.4 1,503.3 Agricultural 708.3 203.9 504.4 247.4 580.1 Other, including overdrafts 9.2 1.5 7.7 513.3 — Deferred loan fees and costs (15.6) (12.3) (3.3) 26.8 — Loans held for investment, net of deferred loan fees and costs$ 18,099.2 $ 9,331.7 $ 8,767.5 94.0 %$ 7,705.0 Real Estate Loans. We provide interim construction and permanent financing for both single-family and multi-unit properties, medium-term loans for commercial, agricultural and industrial property and/or buildings and equity lines of credit secured by real estate. Commercial real estate loans. Commercial real estate loans include loans for property and improvements used commercially by the borrower or for lease to others for the production of goods or services. Approximately 37.0% and 41.7% of our commercial real estate loans were owner occupied as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.Construction loans. Construction loans are primarily to commercial builders for residential lot development and the construction of single-family residences and commercial real estate properties. Construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to pre-approved permanent financing. As of December 31, 2022, our construction loan portfolio was divided among the following categories: approximately $516.2 million, or 26.5%, residential construction; approximately $1,042.0 million, or 53.6%, commercial construction; and approximately $386.2 million, or 19.9%, land acquisition and development. Residential real estate loans. Residential real estate loans are typically secured by first liens on the financed property. Included in residential real estate loans were home equity loans and lines of credit of $548.9 million and $394.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Consumer Loans. Our consumer loans include direct personal loans; credit card loans and lines of credit; and indirect loans created when we purchase consumer loan contracts advanced for the purchase of automobiles, boats, and other consumer goods from the consumer product dealer network within the market areas we serve. Personal loans and indirect dealer loans are generally secured by automobiles, recreational vehicles, boats, and other types of personal property and are made on an installment basis. Credit cards are offered to clients in our market areas. Lines of credit are generally floating rate loans that are unsecured or secured by personal property. Approximately 78.4% and 79.2% of our consumer loans as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were indirect consumer loans. 45 Commercial Loans. We provide a mix of variable and fixed rate commercial loans. The loans are typically made to small and medium-sized manufacturing, wholesale, retail, and service businesses for working capital needs and business expansions. Commercial loans generally include lines of credit, business credit cards, and loans with maturities of five years or less and outstanding balances tend to be cyclical in nature. The loans are generally made with business operations as the primary source of repayment and are typically collateralized by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, and/or personal guarantees. Commercial loans increased $1,407.1 million, or 95.4%, to $2,882.6 million as of December 31, 2022, from $1,475.5 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of loans acquired from GWB, partially offset by PPP forgiveness. Commercial loans included $5.0 million of PPP loans as of December 31, 2022 compared to $100.0 million as of December 31, 2021.Agricultural Loans. Our agricultural loans generally consist of short- and medium-term loans and lines of credit that are primarily used for crops, livestock, equipment, and general operations. Agricultural loans are ordinarily secured by assets such as livestock or equipment and are repaid from the operations of the farm or ranch. Agricultural loans generally have maturities of five years or less, with operating lines for one production season.The following table presents the contractual maturity distribution and interest rates of our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2022. The amounts provided below do not reflect scheduled repayment or prepayment assumptions related to the loan portfolio.

Non-accrual loans. We generally place loans on non-accrual status when they become 90 days past due unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed from income. Non-accrual loans increased $34.3 million, to $59.2 million, as of December 31, 2022, from $24.9 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of the loans acquired from GWB. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more increased $3.6 million, or 128.6%, primarily as a result of the loans acquired from GWB. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and when, in the opinion of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest.Other Real Estate Owned (OREO). OREO consists of real property acquired through foreclosure on the collateral underlying defaulted loans. We initially record OREO at fair value less estimated selling costs. Any excess of loan carrying value over the fair value of the real estate acquired is recorded as a charge against the allowance for credit losses. Estimated losses that result from the ongoing periodic valuation of these properties are charged to earnings in the period in which they are identified. The fair values of OREO properties are estimated using appraisals and management estimates of current market conditions. OREO properties are appraised every 18-24 months unless deterioration in local market conditions indicates the need to obtain new appraisals sooner. OREO properties are evaluated by management quarterly to determine if additional write-downs are appropriate or necessary based on current market conditions. Quarterly evaluations include a review of the most recent appraisal of the property and reviews of recent appraisals and comparable sales data for similar properties in the same or adjacent market areas. Commercial and agricultural OREO properties are listed with unrelated third party professional real estate agents or brokers local to the areas where the marketed properties are located. Residential properties are typically listed with local realtors, after any redemption period has expired. We rely on these local real estate agents and/or brokers to list the properties on the local multiple listing system, to provide marketing materials and advertisements for the properties, and to conduct open houses. OREO increased to $12.7 million as of December 31, 2022, from $2.0 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily attributable to $15.8 million of other real estate owned acquired in the GWB acquisition, partially offset by dispositions. As of December 31, 2022, 95.3% of our OREO balance was related to agricultural real estate properties and 4.7% was related to a commercial property. 46 The following table sets forth information regarding non-performing assets as of the dates indicated:Non-Performing Assets and Troubled Debt Restructurings(Dollars in millions)As of December 31,20222021202020192018Non-performing loans: Non-accrual loans$ 59.2 $ 24.9 $ 39.5 $ 42.9 $ 54.3 Accruing loans past due 90 days or more 6.4 2.8 8.5 5.7 3.8 Total non-performing loans 65.6 27.7 48.0 48.6 58.1 OREO 12.7 2.0 2.5 8.5 14.4 Total non-performing assets$ 78.3 $ 29.7 $ 50.5 $ 57.1 $ 72.5 Troubled debt restructurings not included above (1)$ 60.4 $ 2.3 $ 3.2 $ 5.5 $ 5.6 Non-accrual loans to loans held for investment 0.33 % 0.27 % 0.40 % 0.48 % 0.64 %Non-performing assets to loans held for investment and OREO (2) 0.43 0.32 0.51 0.64 0.86 Non-performing assets to total assets (3) 0.24 0.15 0.29 0.39 0.55 Allowance for credit losses to non-performing loans (4) 335.52 441.52 300.63 150.21 125.65 (1)Accruing loans modified in troubled debt restructurings are not considered non-performing loans.

Collateral-dependent loans rely solely on the operation or sale of the collateral for repayment. In evaluating the overall risk associated with a loan, the Company considers character, overall financial condition and resources, and payment record of the borrower; the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors; and the nature and degree of protection provided by the cash flow and value of any underlying collateral. The loan may become collateral-dependent where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and as sources of repayment become inadequate over time and that repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. Collateral-dependent loans increased to $39.1 million as of December 31, 2022, from $11.7 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of the loans acquired from GWB. Troubled Debt Restructurings. Modifications of performing loans are made in the ordinary course of business and are completed on a case-by-case basis as negotiated with the borrower. Loan modifications typically include interest rate concessions, interest-only periods, short-term payment deferrals, and extension of amortization periods to provide payment relief. A loan modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and we, for economic or legal reasons, grant a concession to the borrower that we would not otherwise consider. Those modifications deemed to be troubled debt restructurings are monitored centrally to ensure proper classification as a troubled debt restructuring and if or when the loan may be placed on accrual status. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had loans renegotiated in troubled debt restructurings of $64.6 million and $6.2 million, respectively, of which $4.2 million and $3.9 million were reported as non-accrual loans in the non-performing asset and troubled debt restructurings and non-performing loan tables above as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The remaining $60.4 million and $2.3 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, were on accrual status and are reported as troubled debt restructurings in the non-performing asset and troubled debt restructurings table above. The increase in troubled debt restructuring from December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was primarily as a result of loans acquired during the GWB acquisition. For additional information regarding loans modified in troubled debt restructurings, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Loans Held For Investment” included in financial statements included Part IV, Item 15 of this report. Allowance for Credit Losses The Company performs a quarterly assessment of the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses in accordance with GAAP. The methodology used to assess the adequacy is consistently applied to the Company’s portfolio of loans held for investment. The allowance for credit losses is established through a provision for credit losses based on our evaluation of quantitative and qualitative risk factors in our loan portfolio at each balance sheet date. In determining the allowance for credit losses, we estimate losses on specific loans, or groups of loans, where the expected loss can be identified and reasonably determined over the life of the loans. The balance of the allowance for credit losses is based on internally assigned risk classifications of loans, historical loan loss rates, changes in the nature or tenure of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, current environmental and economic factors, and the estimated impact of current and forecasted economic conditions on certain historical loan loss rates. See the discussion under “Critical Accounting Estimates and Significant Accounting Policies — Allowance for Credit Losses” above. The allowance for credit losses is increased by provisions charged against earnings and net recoveries of charged-off loans and is reduced by negative provisions credited to earnings and net loan charge-offs. The allowance for credit losses consists of three elements: (1) Specific valuation allowances associated with collateral-dependent and other individually evaluated loans. Specific valuation allowances are determined based on assessment of the fair value of the collateral underlying the loans as determined through independent appraisals, the present value of future cash flows, observable market prices, and any relevant qualitative or environmental factors impacting loans. (2) Historical valuation allowances based on loan loss experience for similar loans with similar characteristics and trends. The Company applies probability of default and loss given default methodologies for all portfolio segments. The Company uses a transition matrix for probability of default components of the methodology and a historical average for the loss given default components of the methodology. The probability of default and loss given default is applied to the current principal balance as of the reporting date. The transition matrix determines the probability of default by tracking the historical movement of loans between loan risk tiers over a defined period of time. Loan transitions are measured by either internal ratings or delinquency status. Those loans tracked by ratings are generally commercial purpose including agricultural, commercial, and commercial real estate. Those loans tracked by delinquency are generally consumer in nature, with the exception of loans classified as multi-family and credit cards. The loss given default used as the basis for the estimate of credit losses is comprised of the Company’s historical loss experiences from 2008 to the current period, based on a migration analysis of our historical loss experience, designed to account for credit deterioration. The model compares the most recent period losses to prior period defaults to calculate the loss given default, which is averaged over the historical observations. 48 (3) General valuation allowances determined based on changes in the nature of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, general economic conditions or forecasts, and other qualitative risk factors, both internal and external to us, including the incorporation of a one-year forecast period for economic conditions. As part of the qualitative adjustments, the Company considers future economic conditions over the one-year forecast period. There are 10 economic factors that are considered in our assessment which are compared against the Moody’s Analytics economic scenarios. The outcome of this analysis adjusts the one-year forecasted expectations which are incorporated into the qualitative adjustments. Other qualitative factors, including changes in loan and lending policies, underwriting standards and personnel, and assessments of portfolio loan quality, among others, are also considered. During the period ending December 31, 2022, other qualitative factors were adjusted based on our assessment of loan quality and sustained loan quality trends in certain loan categories, offset by a more conservative set of assumptions about the economic outlook. Based on the assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, the Company records provisions for credit losses to maintain the allowance for credit losses at appropriate levels. Loans acquired in business combinations are initially recorded at fair value as adjusted for credit risk and an allowance for credit losses at the date of acquisition. For loans with no significant evidence of credit deterioration since origination, the difference between the fair value and the unpaid principal balance of the loan at the acquisition date is amortized into interest income using the effective interest method over the remaining period to contractual maturity. An allowance for credit losses is recorded for the expected credit losses over the life of the loan on loans acquired without evidence of credit deterioration. The Company established an allowance for credit losses on acquired GWB non-PCD loans by recording a provision expense of $68.3 million through the income statement upon closing. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through provision expense using the same methodology as other loans held for investment. For loans acquired in business combinations with evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination, the Company determines the fair value of the loans by estimating the amount and timing of principal and interest cash flows initially expected to be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at an appropriate market rate of interest. An allowance for credit losses is recognized by estimating the expected credit losses of the purchased asset and recording an adjustment to the acquisition date fair value to establish the initial amortized cost basis of the asset. On February 1, 2022, the Company established a provisional allowance for credit losses of $84.3 million, which was subsequently adjusted as a result of a fair value re-evaluation during 2022 by $24.8 million to $59.5 million on GWB PCD loans acquired. Neither the establishment of the initial allowance against PCD loans, or the subsequent adjustments, were reflected in the income statement, but rather were booked as adjustments to the acquired amortized cost of the loans. Differences between the established amortized cost basis, and the unpaid principal balance of the asset, is considered to be a non-credit discount/ premium and is accreted/amortized into interest income using the level yield interest method. The difference between the amortized cost basis and the unpaid principal balance of $31.2 million was established on GWB PCD loans acquired on February 1, 2022 and adjusted as a result of a fair value re-evaluation during 2022 by $8.4 million to $39.6 million. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through provision expense using the same methodology as other loans held for investment. Loans, or portions thereof, are charged-off against the allowance for credit losses when management believes the collectability of the principal is unlikely, or, with respect to consumer installment loans, according to an established delinquency schedule. Generally, loans are charged-off when (1) there has been no material principal reduction within the previous 90 days and there is no pending sale of collateral or other assets, (2) there is no significant or pending event which will result in principal reduction within the upcoming 90 days, (3) it is clear that we will not be able to collect all or a portion of the loan, (4) payments on the loan are sporadic, will result in an excessive amortization, or are not consistent with the collateral held, or (5) foreclosure or repossession actions are pending. Loan charge-offs do not directly correspond with the receipt of independent appraisals or the use of observable market data if the collateral value is determined to be sufficient to repay the principal balance of the loan. 49 The following table sets forth information regarding our allowance for credit losses as of the dates and for the periods indicated.Allowance for Credit Losses(Dollars in millions)Allowance for credit losses on loans: (1)Beginning balance$ 122.3 $ 144.3 $ 73.0 $ 73.0 $ 72.1 Initial impact of adoption of ASC 326 — — 30.0 — — ACL recorded on PCD loans 59.5 — — — — Provision charged to operating expense (2) 68.4 (14.7) 55.5 13.9 8.6 Charge-offs:Real estateCommercial 11.7 2.3 0.4 0.2 1.9 Construction 9.2 1.4 0.5 2.0 0.7 Residential 0.3 0.1 — 1.3 1.1 Agricultural 0.2 0.7 — — — Consumer 10.1 8.2 10.8 13.0 11.3 Commercial 8.1 3.7 9.1 6.6 4.7 Agricultural 5.4 0.2 0.1 0.5 — Total charge-offs 45.0 16.6 20.9 23.6 19.7 Recoveries:Real estateCommercial 3.0 0.1 0.3 0.5 1.9 Construction 0.5 0.6 0.4 1.3 0.9 Residential 0.8 0.3 0.4 0.9 0.9 Agricultural 0.4 — — — — Consumer 5.0 4.5 3.9 3.6 4.5 Commercial 2.3 3.8 1.7 3.4 3.6 Agricultural 2.9 — — — 0.2 Total recoveries 14.9 9.3 6.7 9.7 12.0 Net charge-offs 30.1 7.3 14.2 13.9 7.7 Ending balance$ 220.1 $ 122.3 $ 144.3 $ 73.0 $ 73.0 Allowance for off-balance sheet credit losses:Beginning balance$ 3.8 $ 3.7 $ — $ — $ — Initial impact of adopting ASC 326 — — 2.3 — — Provision for off-balance sheet credit losses 12.4 0.1 1.4 — — Ending balance$ 16.2 $ 3.8 $ 3.7 $ — $ — Allowance for credit losses on investment securities:Beginning balance$ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Provision for credit losses 1.9 — — — — Ending balance$ 1.9 $ — $ — $ — $ — Total allowance for credit losses$ 238.2 $ 126.1 $ 148.0 $ 73.0 $ 73.0 Total provision for (reversal of) credit losses 82.7 (14.6) 56.9 13.9 8.6 Loans held for investment, net of deferred fees and costs 18,099.2 9,331.7 9,807.5 8,930.7 8,470.4 Average loans 16,802.2 9,788.9 9,825.0 8,879.1 7,985.0 Net charge-offs to average loans 0.18 % 0.07 % 0.14 % 0.16 % 0.10 %Allowance to non-accrual loans 371.79 491.16 365.32 170.16 134.44 Allowance to loans held for investment 1.22 1.31 1.47 0.82 0.86 (1) Allowance for credit loss on loans (ACLL) for the 2020-22 periods; allowance for loan loss (ALLL) for the 2019 and prior periods.(2) Provision for (reversal of) credit loss on loans for the 2020-22 periods; provision for loan loss for the 2019 and prior periods.As of and for the year ended December 31,2022202120202019201850 Our allowance for credit losses on loans was $220.1 million, or 1.22% of loans held for investment as of December 31, 2022, as compared to $122.3 million, or 1.31% of loans held for investment, as of December 31, 2021. The decrease in the percentage from December 31, 2021 is primarily a result of lower overall loss rates resulting in lower expected lifetime losses, partially offset by adverse changes in our economic outlook. The allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of expected credit losses in the loan portfolio expected over the life of the loan, including the incorporation of a one-year forecast period for economic conditions.Although we have established our allowance for credit losses in accordance with GAAP in the United States and we believe that the allowance for credit losses is adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the portfolio at all times, future provisions will be subject to on-going evaluations of the risks in the loan portfolio. If the economy declines or asset quality deteriorates, material additional provisions could be required.The allowance for credit losses is allocated to loan categories based on the relative risk characteristics, asset classifications, and expected losses of the loan portfolio. The following table provides a summary of the allocation of the allowance for credit losses for specific loan categories as of the dates indicated. The allocations presented should not be interpreted as an indication that charges to the allowance for credit losses will be incurred in these amounts or proportions, or that the portion of the allowance allocated to each loan category represents the total amount available for future losses that may occur within these categories.

As such, significant changes in collateral-dependent and non-performing loans do not necessarily correspond proportionally with changes in the specific valuation component of the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, the Company expects the timing of charge-offs will vary between quarters and will not necessarily correspond proportionally to changes in the allowance for credit losses or changes in non-performing or collateral dependent loans due to timing differences among the initial identification of a collateral-dependent loan, recording of a specific valuation allowance for collateral-dependent loans, and any resulting charge-off of uncollectible principal.Goodwill and Other IntangiblesThe Company’s intangible assets consist primarily of the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of acquired businesses (“goodwill”) and other identifiable intangible assets (core deposit and customer relationship intangibles). Goodwill totaled $1,100.9 million and $621.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase is attributable to goodwill recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB.Core deposit intangibles represent the intangible value of depositor relationships resulting from deposit liabilities assumed and are amortized based on the estimated useful lives of the related deposits. Customer relationship intangibles represent the intangible value of customer relationships resulting from excess earnings associated with the expected fee income related to the underlying client relationships. Other intangibles, net of accumulated amortization, increased $55.7 million, to $97.0 million as of December 31, 2022, from $41.3 million as of December 31, 2021, The increase is a result of the intangibles acquired in the GWB acquisition, partially offset by the sale of health savings accounts and scheduled amortization expense.For additional information concerning Goodwill and Intangibles, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — Goodwill and Intangibles” included in Part IV, Item 15.51 Company-Owned Life Insurance Company-owned life insurance is comprised of life insurance policies recorded at their cash surrender value. Company- owned life insurance increased $196.4 million, to $497.9 million as of December 31, 2022, from $301.5 million as of December 31, 2021, attributable to amounts recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB. Premises and equipment, net Premises and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation increased $145.1 million, to $444.7 million as of December 31, 2022, from $299.6 million as of December 31, 2021, attributable to amounts recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB offset by depreciation expense. Deferred Tax Asset / Liability As of December 31, 2022, we had a net deferred tax asset of $210.5 million, as compared to a net deferred tax liability of $9.3 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily due to net deferred tax asset benefit recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB and the increase in our mark-to-market losses on investment securities. Other Assets Other assets increased $164.6 million, to $348.7 million as of December 31, 2022, from $184.1 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily attributable to $200.8 million recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB. Total Liabilities Total liabilities increased $11,528.7 million, or 65.2%, to $29,214.0 million as of December 31, 2022, from $17,685.3 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily due to $12,107.8 million of liabilities assumed with the acquisition of GWB. Significant fluctuations in liability accounts are discussed below. Deposits Total deposits increased $8,804.0 million, to $25,073.6 million as of December 31, 2022, from $16,269.6 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily due to $11,688.0 million in deposit balances acquired as a result of the GWB acquisition. Following the acquisition of $11,688.0 million of GWB deposits acquired on February 1, deposits subsequently decreased $2,884.0 million, or 17.7%, compared to December 31, 2021, largely due to a decline in business-related non-interest bearing balances, a decrease in higher-cost, non-relationship deposits acquired from GWB, held in interest-bearing savings and time deposits, $250 thousand and over. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service, or CDARS, deposits of $36.6 million and $104.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had no brokered deposits. The following table summarizes our deposits as of the dates indicated: Deposits (Dollars in millions) As of December 31, 2022 Percent 2021 Percent 2020 Percent 2019 Percent 2018 Percent Non-interest bearing demand Interest bearing: $ 7,560.0 30.2 % $ 5,568.3 34.2 % $ 4,633.5 32.6 % $ 3,426.5 29.4 % $ 3,158.3 29.6 % Demand Savings 7,205.9 8,379.3 Time, $250k or more 438.0 Time, other 1,490.4 28.7 33.4 1.8 5.9 4,753.2 4,981.6 186.7 779.8 29.2 30.6 1.2 4.8 4,118.9 4,405.9 193.0 865.7 29.0 31.0 1.3 6.1 3,195.4 3,591.6 278.4 1,171.6 Total interest bearing 17,513.6 69.8 10,701.3 65.8 9,583.5 67.4 8,237.0 27.4 30.8 2.4 10.0 70.6 2,957.5 3,247.9 221.0 1,096.0 7,522.4 27.7 30.4 2.0 10.3 70.4 Total deposits $ 25,073.6 100.0 % $ 16,269.6 100.0 % $ 14,217.0 100.0 % $ 11,663.5 100.0 % $ 10,680.7 100.0 % For additional information concerning client deposits, including the use of repurchase agreements, see “Business— Community Banking—Deposit Products,” included in Part I, Item 1 and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements— Deposits,” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report. 52 Securities Sold Under Repurchase AgreementsUnder repurchase agreements with commercial and municipal depositors, client deposit balances are invested in short-term U.S. government agency securities overnight and are then repurchased the following day. All outstanding repurchase agreements are due in one day and balances fluctuate in the normal course of business. Repurchase agreement balances increased $1.8 million, or 0.2%, to $1,052.9 million as of December 31, 2022, from $1,051.1 million as of December 31, 2021.The following table sets forth certain information regarding securities sold under repurchase agreements as of the dates indicated:Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements(Dollars in millions)As of and for the year ended December 31,202220212020Securities sold under repurchase agreements: Balance at period end$ 1,052.9 $ 1,051.1 $ 1,091.4 Average balance 1,114.5 1,025.2 765.8 Maximum amount outstanding at any month-end 1,263.3 1,094.0 1,092.1 Average interest rate: During the year 0.22 % 0.04 % 0.12 %At period end 0.36 0.08 0.03 Accounts Payable and Accrued ExpensesAccounts payable and accrued expenses increased $297.5 million, to $445.9 million as of December 31, 2022, from $148.4 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily attributable to $110.4 million recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB, the deferral of $33.0 million in payment service incentives primarily related to the GWB acquisition, and an increase in derivative liabilities of $140.7 million. Long-term Debt Long-term debt consists of subordinated notes, new market tax credits, and a financing lease. Long-term debt increased $8.4 million, to $120.8 million as of December 31, 2022, from $112.4 million as of December 31, 2021, respectively. The increase is due to the addition of two new market tax credits, partially offset by one new market tax credit that matured during 2022. For additional information regarding long-term debt, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Long-Term Debt and Other Borrowed Funds,” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report. Other Borrowed FundsOther borrowed funds consists of FHLB borrowings with maturity tenors of up to one-month, to address short-term funding needs. Total other borrowed funds amounted to $2,327.0 million as of December 31, 2022 compared to zero at December 31, 2021. Allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposuresAllowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is related to unfunded credit commitments which include items such as letters of credit, financial guarantees, and binding unfunded loan commitments. This allowance increased $12.4 million, to $16.2 million as of December 31, 2022, from $3.8 million at December 31, 2021. Subordinated debentures held by subsidiary trustsSubordinated debentures held by subsidiary trusts increased $76.1 million, to $163.1 million as of December 31, 2022, from $87.0 million as of December 31, 2021, primarily attributable to amounts recorded in conjunction with the acquisition of GWB. 53 Capital Resources and LiquidityCapital ResourcesStockholders’ equity is influenced primarily by earnings, dividends, sales and redemptions of common stock, and changes in the unrealized holding gains or losses, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities. Stockholders’ equity increased $1,087.2 million, or 54.7%, to $3,073.8 million as of December 31, 2022 from $1,986.6 million as of December 31, 2021, due to the issuance of additional common stock as consideration for the acquisition of GWB, proceeds from stock option exercises, and retention of earnings, which are partially offset by stock repurchases of vested restricted shares tendered in lieu of cash for payment of income tax withholding amounts by participants, stock purchases pursuant to the stock repurchase program, other comprehensive loss, and cash dividends paid. Regular cash dividends paid to common shareholders during 2022 amounted to approximately $182.1 million.On January 25, 2023, we declared a quarterly dividend to common stockholders of $0.47 per share, which was paid on February 17, 2023 to shareholders of record as of February 7, 2023. The dividend equates to a 4.4% annual yield based on the $42.30 average closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on NASDAQ during the fourth quarter of 2022.On May 25, 2022, the Company’s board of directors adopted a stock repurchase program, terminating the program that had been in place since 2019 and had 1,889,158 shares of Class A common stock remaining to be purchased thereunder. Under the new stock repurchase program, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to 5.0 million of its outstanding shares of Class A common stock. Any repurchased shares were to be returned to authorized but unissued shares of Class A common stock in accordance with Montana law. During 2022, the Company repurchased and retired 5.0 million shares of Class A common stock under the stock repurchase program at a cost of $197.4 million at an average price of $39.48 per share. At December 31, 2022, there were no remaining shares authorized to be purchased under a stock repurchase program. For additional information regarding the repurchases, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Capital Stock and Dividend Restrictions” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report.During 2022, the Company issued 33,769 shares of its Class A common stock to directors for their annual service on the Company’s board of directors. The aggregate value of the shares issued to directors of $1.3 million is included in stock-based compensation expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity.As a bank holding company, the Company must comply with the capital requirements established by the Federal Reserve, and our subsidiary Bank must comply with the capital requirements established by the FDIC. The current risk-based guidelines applicable to us and our Bank are based on the Basel III framework, as implemented by the federal bank regulators. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had capital levels that, in all cases, exceeded the guidelines to be deemed “well-capitalized.” For additional information regarding our capital levels, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Regulatory Capital,” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report.Liquidity Liquidity measures our ability to meet current and future cash flow needs on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost. We manage our liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of clients, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of our shareholders. Our liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Liquid assets include cash, interest bearing deposits in banks, federal funds sold, available-for-sale investment securities, and maturing or prepaying balances in our held-to-maturity investment and loan portfolios. Liquid liabilities include core deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and borrowings. Other sources of liquidity include the sale of loans, the ability to acquire additional national market funds through non-core deposits, the issuance of additional collateralized borrowings such as FHLB advances, the issuance of debt securities, additional borrowings through the Federal Reserve’s discount window, and the issuance of preferred or common securities. The primary effect of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs. In our management’s opinion, changes in interest rates affect the financial condition of a financial institution to a far greater degree than changes in the inflation rate. While interest rates are greatly influenced by changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same rate or in the same magnitude as the inflation rate. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, including changes in the expected rate of inflation, the influence of general and local economic conditions, and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government, its agencies, and various other governmental regulatory authorities.54 In the ordinary course of business, we have entered into contractual obligations and have made other commitments to make future payments. Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily to fund on-going operations, including payment of interest on deposits and debt, extensions of credit to borrowers, capital expenditures, and shareholder dividends. These liquidity requirements are met primarily through cash flow from operations, redeployment of prepaying and maturing balances in our loan and investment portfolios, debt financing, and increases in client deposits. For additional information regarding our operating, investing and financing cash flows, see “Consolidated Financial Statements—Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report.The Company had deposits without a stated maturity of $23,145.2 million and time deposits of $1,532.6 million, due in one year or less in addition to time deposits due in more than one year of $395.8 million as of December 31, 2022. For additional details in regards to the Company’s deposits see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Deposits” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had securities sold under repurchase agreements of $1,052.9 million due in one year or less as the agreements with our client counterparties mature on the next banking day. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $2,327.0 million of FHLB borrowings due in less than one year and $98.9 million of fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due in more than one year. The Company has unused federal fund lines of credit with third parties amounting to $235.0 million, subject to funds availability. These lines are subject to cancellation without notice. The Company also has an unused line of credit with the FRB for borrowings up to $763.3 million secured by a blanket pledge of agricultural and commercial loans, and has an unused $100.0 million revolving line of credit with another third party. For additional information concerning long-term debt, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Long Term Debt and Other Borrowed Funds” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report. The Company guarantees the distribution and payment for redemption or liquidation of capital trust preferred securities issued by our wholly-owned subsidiary business trusts to the extent of funds held by the trusts. Although the guarantees are not separately recorded, the obligations underlying the guarantees are fully reflected on our consolidated balance sheets as subordinated debentures held by subsidiary trusts. The subordinated debentures currently qualify as tier 2 capital under the Federal Reserve capital adequacy guidelines. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had subordinated debentures held by subsidiary trusts of $163.1 million due in more than one year. For additional information concerning the subordinated debentures, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Subordinated Debentures Held by Subsidiary Trusts” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report.The Company has future minimum rental commitments, exclusive of maintenance and operating costs, required under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year at December 31, 2022 with $11.5 million due in one year or less and $42.4 million due in more than one year. For additional information concerning leases, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Commitments and Contingencies” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report.The Company is a limited partner in several tax-advantaged limited partnerships that have been formed for the purpose of investing in approved qualified affordable housing, renewable energy, or other renovation or community revitalization projects. As of December 31, 2022, the Company expects to recover its investments through the use of tax credits generated by the investments. The Company has entered into various arrangements not reflected on the consolidated balance sheet that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had unused credit card lines of $827.6 million, commitments to extend credit of $5,173.3 million and standby letters of credit of $93.8 million. Among the $5,173.3 million in credit commitments outstanding, $686.0 million are related to home equity and home equity lines of credit, $1,874.2 million are related to traditional working capital commercial lines, and $1,769.9 million are unfunded for current or future construction projects. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. For additional information regarding our off-balance sheet arrangements, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report.55 As a bank holding company, we are a corporation separate and apart from our subsidiary Bank and, therefore, we provide for our own liquidity. Our primary sources of funding include management fees and dividends declared and paid by the Bank and access to capital markets. There are statutory, regulatory, and debt covenant limitations that affect the ability of our Bank to pay dividends to us. Management believes that such limitations will not impact our ability to meet our ongoing short-term cash obligations. For additional information regarding dividend restrictions, see “Financial Condition—Capital Resources and Liquidity” above, “Business—Government Regulation and Supervision—Dividends and Restrictions on Transfers of Funds” included in Part I, Item 1 of this report, and “Risk Factors—Liquidity Risks and Regulatory and Compliance Risks” included in Part I, Item 1A of this report. Management continuously monitors our liquidity position and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Our management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, capital resources, or operations. In addition, our management is not aware of any regulatory recommendations regarding liquidity, which if implemented, would have a material adverse effect on us. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. Our business and the composition of our balance sheet consists of investments in interest earning assets (principally loans and investment securities) which are primarily funded by interest bearing liabilities (deposits and indebtedness). Such financial instruments have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk results when, due to different maturity dates and repricing intervals, interest rate indices for interest earning assets fluctuate adversely relative to interest bearing liabilities, thereby creating a risk of decreased net earnings and cash flow. Although we characterize some of our interest-sensitive assets as securities available-for-sale, such securities are not purchased with the intent to sell in the near term. Rather, such securities may be sold in response to or in anticipation of changes in interest rates and resulting prepayment risk. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report. Asset Liability Management The goal of asset liability management is the prudent control of market risk, liquidity, and capital. Asset liability management is governed by policies, goals, and objectives adopted and reviewed by the Bank’s board of directors. Development of asset liability management strategies is the responsibility of the Asset Liability Committee, or ALCO, which is composed of members of senior management. Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk of loss of future earnings or long-term value due to changes in interest rates. Our primary source of earnings is net interest income, which is affected by changes in interest rates, the relationship between rates on interest-bearing assets and liabilities, the impact of interest rate fluctuations on asset prepayments, and the mix of interest- bearing assets and liabilities. The ability to optimize net interest income is largely dependent upon the achievement of an interest rate spread that can be managed during periods of fluctuating interest rates. Interest sensitivity is a measure of the extent to which net interest income will be affected by market interest rates over a period of time. Interest rate sensitivity is related to the difference between amounts of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which either reprice or mature within a given period of time. The difference is known as interest rate sensitivity gap. The following table shows interest rate sensitivity gaps and the earnings sensitivity ratio for different intervals as of December 31, 2022. The information presented in the table is based on our mix of interest earning assets and interest- bearing liabilities and historical experience regarding their interest rate sensitivity. 56 Interest Rate Sensitivity Gaps (Dollars in millions) Interest earning assets: Loans (1) Investment securities (2) Interest bearing deposits in banks Federal funds sold Total interest earning assets Interest bearing liabilities: Interest bearing demand accounts (3) Savings deposits (3) Time deposits, $250 or more Other time deposits Securities sold under repurchase agreements Other borrowed funds Long-term debt Subordinated debentures held by subsidiary trusts Total interest bearing liabilities Rate gap Cumulative rate gap Cumulative rate gap as a percentage of total interest earning assets Projected Maturity or Repricing Three Months or Less Three Months to One Year One Year to Five Years After Five Years Total $ $ $ $ 5,489.3 1,512.8 519.7 0.1 $ 3,085.9 741.6 — — 8,024.5 $ 4,589.2 — — 1,440.3 $ 18,040.0 10,397.9 3,554.3 1.5 521.2 0.1 — 7,521.9 $ 3,827.5 $ 12,613.7 $ 4,996.1 $ 28,959.2 $ 2,180.0 2,495.4 59.9 335.5 1,052.9 2,327.0 — 163.1 — — 306.4 830.9 — — 0.1 — $ 5,025.9 $ 5,883.9 71.7 323.5 — — $ — — 0.5 — — 0.5 — — 120.2 — 7,205.9 8,379.3 438.0 1,490.4 1,052.9 2,327.0 120.8 163.1 $ $ 8,613.8 $ (1,091.9) $ (1,091.9) 1,137.4 2,690.1 1,598.2 $ $ 11,305.5 $ 1,308.2 $ 2,906.4 120.7 $ 21,177.4 7,781.8 4,875.4 $ 7,781.8 (3.77) % 5.52 % 10.04 % 26.87 % 26.87 % (1) Does not include non-accrual loans of $59.2 million. Variable rate loans are included in the three months or less category in the above table and if these loans have reached interest rate floors they may not immediately reprice. (2) Adjusted to reflect: (a) expected shorter maturities based upon our historical experience of early prepayments of principal, and (3) (b) the redemption of callable securities on their next call date. Interest bearing demand and savings deposits, while technically subject to immediate withdrawal, actually display sensitivity characteristics that generally fall within one to five years. Their allocation is presented based on those sensitivity characteristics. If these deposits were included in the three month or less category, the above table would reflect a negative three-month gap of $12.0 billion, a negative cumulative one-year gap of $9.3 billion, and a positive cumulative one to five year gap of $2.9 billion. Net Interest Income Sensitivity We believe net interest income sensitivity provides the best perspective of how day-to-day decisions affect our interest rate risk profile. We monitor net interest income sensitivity by utilizing an income simulation model to subject 12- and 24- month net interest income to various rate movements. Simulations modeled quarterly include scenarios where market rates change instantaneously up or down in a parallel manner and scenarios where market rates gradually increase 200 basis points. Estimates produced by our income simulation model are based on numerous assumptions including, but not limited to: (1) the timing of changes in interest rates, (2) shifts or rotations in the yield curve, (3) repricing characteristics for market rate sensitive instruments, (4) differing sensitivities of financial instruments due to differing underlying rate indices, (5) varying loan prepayment speeds for different interest rate scenarios, (6) the effect of interest rate limitations in our assets, such as caps and floors, and (7) overall growth and repayment rates and product mix of assets and liabilities. Because of limitations inherent in any approach used to measure interest rate risk, simulation results are not intended as a forecast of the actual effect of a change in market interest rates on our results, but rather to provide insight into our current interest rate exposure and execute appropriate asset/liability management strategies accordingly. We continue to refine our mix of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to approach a target of no more than 4.0% of the net interest income at risk over a one-year period, should interest rates immediately shift up or down 100 basis points, or gradually shift up 200 basis points over a 12 month period. As of December 31, 2022, our income simulation model predicted net interest income would increase 0.17% on an immediate upward 100 basis point shock, assuming a static balance sheet, and decrease of 0.31% on an immediate downward 100 basis point shock. Assuming a 0.5% gradual increase in interest rates during each of the next four consecutive quarters, net interest income would decrease $2.9 million, or decrease of 0.28%. Other than the 12-month gradual ramp, each scenario predicts that our interest-bearing assets reprice faster than our interest bearing liabilities. The preceding interest rate sensitivity analysis does not represent a forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. 57 The Company uses financial derivative instruments for management of interest rate sensitivity. In August 2022, the Company entered into two interest rate collars related to variable-rate loans that were designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional amount of $300.0 million. The collars designated as cash flow hedges synthetically fix the interest income received by the Company when the collar index falls below a floor rate on a rate reset during the term of the collar and when the collar index exceeds the cap rate on a rate reset during the term of the collar without exchange of the underlying notional amount. In October 2022, the Company entered into four forward starting receive-fixed hedges related to pools of variable-rate loans and securities that were designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional amount of $850.0 million. The swaps designated as cash flow hedges synthetically fix the interest income received by the Company once they become effective.Recent Accounting PronouncementsThe expected impact of accounting standards recently issued but not yet adopted are discussed in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Authoritative Accounting Guidance” included in Part IV, Item 15 of this report.Item 8.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial DisclosureThere have been no disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure.58 Disclosure Controls and Procedures Item 9A. Controls and Procedures We have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. As of December 31, 2022, our management evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of December 31, 2022, were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods required by the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting includes controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of our published financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As permitted by guidance provided by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the scope of management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 has excluded Great Western Bank, which was acquired and merged into First Interstate Bank on February 1, 2022. The acquired entity continued operations doing business as Great Western Bank using separate systems until system conversion on May 23, 2022. Great Western Bank’s total assets represented approximately 40.4 percent of the Company’s related consolidated assets as of the date of the merger. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even systems deemed to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 based on the guidelines established in the Internal Control--Integrated Framework (2013 framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2022, our system of internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. RSM US LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued a report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. The report, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, is included below. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 59 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. Opinion on the Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited First Interstate BancSystem, Inc.’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022 and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Company and our report dated February 24, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion. As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Great Western Bank from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, which was merged when acquired by the Company in a purchase business combination in the first quarter of 2022. We have also excluded Great Western Bank from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Great Western Bank continued operations doing business as Great Western Bank using separate systems until system conversion on May 23, 2022. Great Western Bank’s total assets represented approximately 40.4 percent of the Company’s related consolidated assets as of the date of the merger. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ RSM US LLP Des Moines, Iowa February 24, 2023 60 There were no items required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during the fourth quarter of 2022 that were not Item 9B.

The list of all financial statements filed as part of this filing is included above under Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, on page 58, and incorporated herein by reference. Such audited consolidated financial statements follow: 61 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc.Opinion on the Financial StatementsWe have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013, and our report dated February 24, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.Critical Audit MattersThe critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans Held for InvestmentThe Company’s loans held for investment portfolio totaled $18,099.2 million as of December 31, 2022, and the associated allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment was $220.1 million. As described in Notes 1 and 6 to the financial statements, the allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment is a valuation account that is deducted from the Company’s amortized cost basis of loans held for investment to present the net amount of loans held for investment expected to be collected. The Company’s allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment consists of three elements: (1) specific valuation allowances associated with collateral-dependent loans; (2) historical valuation allowances based on loan loss experience for similar loans with similar characteristics and trends; and (3) adjustments to historical loss information for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as for changes in or forecasted changes in environmental and economic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, or other relevant factors. We identified the adjustments to historical loss information component of the allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment, both as it relates to current conditions and forecasted scenarios, as a critical audit matter, because auditing this component of the allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment required significant auditor judgement related to estimates determined by management which are highly subjective and are highly sensitive to change in significant assumptions. 62 Our audit procedures related to the Company’s adjustments to historical loss information component of the allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment included the following, among others: • We obtained an understanding of the relevant controls related to the allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment and tested such controls for design and operating effectiveness, including controls relating to management’s review and approval of the allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment calculation, management’s assessment and review of the adjustments to historical loss information component of the allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment for current conditions and forecasted scenarios and management’s validation of underlying source data. • We tested management’s calculation of adjustments to historical loss information within the allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment calculation by agreeing calculation inputs to the Company’s internal and external source data, including for current and forecasted conditions, verifying the mathematical accuracy of the calculation of adjustments to historical loss information, and evaluating whether adjustments to historical loss information within the allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment, or lack thereof, were reasonable and consistent with Company provided internal data and external independent data, including data related to current and forecasted periods. • We assessed the reasonableness of management’s calculated changes in adjustments to historical loss information within the allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment calculation by evaluating the magnitude and directional consistency of changes, or lack thereof, in the level of adjustments to historical loss information between periods and evaluating whether management’s conclusions were reasonable and consistent with Company provided internal data and external independent data, including data related to current and forecasted periods. • We agreed management’s calculated adjustments to historical loss information to the allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment calculation. Fair Value of Loans Held for Investment Acquired in Business Combinations The Company completed an acquisition on February 1, 2022, acquiring loans held for investment with an estimated fair value of $7,705.0 million as of the acquisition date. As described in Notes 1 and 2 to the financial statements, the Company estimated the acquisition date fair value of loans held for investment by segmenting the acquired portfolio into purchase credit deteriorated (PCD) and non-PCD loans. The estimated fair value of non-PCD loans and PCD loans at the acquisition date was $7,022.2 million and $623.3 million, respectively. Non-PCD loans were pooled based on similar characteristics. PCD loans were valued at the loan level. The Company’s valuation of non-PCD loans and PCD loans utilized a discounted cash flow analysis. The discount rate utilized to determine the estimated fair value of non-PCD loans and PCD loans considered the cost of funds rate, capital charges, servicing costs, liquidity premiums and risk premiums. The credit discount for non-PCD loans and PCD loans was estimated based on probability of default and loss given default assumptions. The determination of the estimated fair value of loans held for investment required management to make certain estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, and market conditions at the time of the acquisition, as well as other future events that are highly subjective in nature. We identified the estimated fair value of loans held for investment that were acquired in the current year as a critical audit matter because of the judgements necessary by management to determine the fair value of loans held for investment, and the related high degree of auditor judgement and the extensive audit effort involved in testing management’s estimates and assumptions. The significant estimates and assumptions necessary to estimate the fair value of non-PCD and PCD loans that required a high degree of auditor judgement and increased audit effort included assumptions related to probability of default and loss given default, cost of funds, capital charges, servicing cost, liquidity premiums and risk premiums. Our audit procedures related to the Company’s estimated fair value of loans held for investment acquired in the current year included the following, among others: • We obtained an understanding of the relevant controls related to the estimated fair value of loans held for investment acquired in the current year and tested such controls for design and operating effectiveness, including controls relating to management’s review and approval of the assumptions related to probability of default and loss given default and assumptions related to cost of funds, capital charges, servicing cost, liquidity premiums and risk premium utilized in the discounted cash flow calculations for loans held for investment. 63 •We tested the completeness and accuracy of the data inputs used in the loans held for investment estimated fair value calculations by comparing the data to source documents and external information sources.•We utilized internal valuation specialists to assist in testing management’s methodologies and techniques for appropriateness, as well as evaluating significant assumptions such as probability of default and loss given default, cost of funds, capital charges, servicing cost, liquidity premiums and risk premiums, by comparing the data to source documents provided by the Company, obtaining comparative information from external sources and performing mathematical accuracy checks. Fair Value of Loans Held for Sale Acquired in Business CombinationsThe Company completed an acquisition on February 1, 2022, acquiring loans held for sale with an estimated fair value of $217.0 million as of the acquisition date. As described in Notes 1 and 2 to the financial statements, the Company estimated the acquisition date fair value of loans for sale based on discounted payoffs and quotes or bids from third party investors. The determination of the estimated fair value of loans held for sale required management to make certain estimates and assumptions about loans held for sale and to evaluate whether additional information obtained related to certain loans held for sale necessitated measurement period adjustments to provisional fair values, which are subjective in nature.We identified the estimated fair value of loans held for sale that were acquired in the current year as a critical audit matter because of the judgements necessary by management to determine the fair value of loans held for sale, and the related high degree of auditor judgement and the audit effort involved in testing management’s estimates and assumptions. The significant estimates and assumptions necessary to estimate the fair value of loans held for sale that required a high degree of auditor judgement and increased audit effort included assumptions related to discounted payoffs, quotes or bids from third party investors and whether additional information obtained related to certain loans held for sale necessitated measurement period adjustments to provisional fair values.Our audit procedures related to the Company’s estimated fair value of loans held for sale acquired in the current year included the following, among others:•We obtained an understanding of the relevant controls related to the estimated fair value of loans held for sale acquired in the current year and tested such controls for design and operating effectiveness, including controls relating to management’s review and approval of the assumptions related to discounted payoffs, quotes or bids from third party investors and whether additional information obtained related to certain loans held for sale necessitated measurement period adjustments to provisional fair values. •We tested the completeness and accuracy of the data inputs used in the loans held for sale estimated fair value calculations, including measurement period adjustments for loans held for sale, by comparing the data to source documents and external information sources.•We evaluated management’s methodologies and techniques for appropriateness, as well as evaluating significant assumptions such as discounted payoffs, quotes or bids from third party investors and additional information related to certain loans held for sale leading to measurement period adjustments, by comparing the data to source documents provided by the Company, obtaining corroborative information from external sources and performing mathematical accuracy checks./s/ RSM US LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2004.Des Moines, IowaFebruary 24, 202364 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC.

First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. (the “Parent Company” and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a financial and bank holding company that, through the branch offices of its bank subsidiary, provides a comprehensive range of banking products and services to individuals, businesses, municipalities, and other entities throughout Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming. In addition to its primary emphasis on commercial and consumer banking services, the Company also offers trust, employee benefit, investment, and insurance services through its bank subsidiary. The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions and nonbank financial companies, and is also subject to the regulations of various government agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.Basis of Presentation. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent Company and its operating subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had one significant subsidiary, First Interstate Bank (“FIB”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications, none of which were material, have been made in the consolidated financial statements for 2021 and 2020 to conform to the 2022 presentation. These reclassifications did not change previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.Business Combinations. The Company accounts for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, acquired assets and assumed liabilities are included with the acquirer's accounts as of the date of acquisition, with any excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired recognized as either finite lived intangibles or capitalized as goodwill. In addition, acquisition related costs and restructuring costs are recognized as period expenses as incurred. Fair values are subject to refinement over the measurement period, not to exceed one year after the closing date. Equity Method Investments. The Company has investments in real estate joint ventures that are not consolidated because the Company does not own a majority voting interest, control the operations, or receive a majority of the losses or earnings of the joint venture. These joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting whereby the Company initially records its investment at cost (or fair value at the date of acquisition) and then subsequently adjusts the carrying value for the Company’s proportionate share of distributions and earnings or losses of the joint ventures.Variable Interest Entities. The Company’s wholly-owned business trusts, FI Statutory Trust I (“Trust I”), FI Capital Trust II (“Trust II”), FI Statutory Trust III (“Trust III”), FI Capital Trust IV (“Trust IV”), FI Statutory Trust V (“Trust V”), FI Statutory Trust VI (“Trust VI”), Northwest Bancorporation Capital Trust I (“Trust VII”), GWB Capital Trust VI (“Trust VIII”), Sunstate Bancshares Trust II (Trust IX”), Great Western Statutory Trust IV (“Trust X”), HF Financial Capital Trust III (“Trust XI”), HF Trust IV (“Trust XII”), HF Trust V (“Trust XIII”), and HF Trust VI (“Trust XIV”) are variable interest entities for which the Company is not a primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the accounts of Trust I through Trust XIV are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and are instead accounted for using the equity method of accounting.The Company has equity investments in variable interest Certified Development Entities (“CDEs”) which have received allocations under the New Markets Tax Credits Program. The underlying activities of the CDEs are community development projects designed primarily to promote community welfare, such as economic rehabilitation and development of low-income areas by providing housing, services, or jobs for residents. The maximum exposure to loss in the CDEs is the amount of equity invested and credit extended by the Company. The Company has credit protection in the form of indemnification agreements, guarantees, and collateral arrangements. Assets Held in Fiduciary or Agency Capacity. The Company holds certain trust assets in a fiduciary or agency capacity. The Company also purchases and sells federal funds as an agent. These and other assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity are not assets of the Company and, accordingly, are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) 71 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) Use of Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, and fair valuations of investment securities and other financial instruments. Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold for less than three-month periods, and interest-bearing deposits in banks with original maturities of less than three months. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had cash of $518.9 million and $2,166.1 million, respectively, on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). On March 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero percent effective March 26, 2020. This action eliminated reserve requirements for all depository institutions. Debt Security Investments. Investments in debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost. Investments in debt securities that may be sold in response to or in anticipation of changes in interest rates and resulting prepayment risk, or other factors, are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value. The unrealized gains and losses on these securities are reported, net of applicable income taxes, as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income. Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase and at each reporting date management reassesses the appropriateness of the classification. The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale is adjusted for accretion of discounts to maturity and amortization of premiums over the estimated average life of the security, without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated, or in the case of callable securities, through the first call date, using the effective yield method. Such amortization and accretion is included in interest income. Realized gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date in investment securities gains and losses and determined using the specific identification method. Accrued interest receivable on investment securities totaled $38.9 million and $16.6 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and was reported in the accrued interest receivable line item on the consolidated balance sheets. Allowance for Credit Losses - Held-to-Maturity Securities: Management measures expected credit losses on held-to- maturity debt securities on a collective basis by major security type. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Management classifies the held-to-maturity portfolio into the following major security types: U.S. Treasury notes. U.S. Treasury notes issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury are guaranteed by the U.S. government with very little risk to default. State, county, and municipal securities. Municipal bonds issued by municipal governments within the U.S. These types of securities are primarily composed of general obligation bonds, or municipal bonds backed by the credit and taxing power of the issuing jurisdiction and revenue obligation bonds, or municipal bonds that are financed by income-producing projects and are secured by a specified source of revenue. Municipal issues shall have at least a “BBB” rating by Moody's and/or Standard and Poor’s, or equivalent creditworthiness must be established prior to purchase. All non-rated or private placement securities must be analyzed and approved by the Company’s Credit Department and documented prior to purchase. Obligations of U.S. government agencies and entities. Securities held by the Company are primarily issued by The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, known as Freddie Mac, and The Federal National Mortgage Association, known as Fannie Mae, which are implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government and are consistently highly rated by major rating agencies with very little risk to default. 72 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) U.S. agency residential and commercial mortgage -backed securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations. Residential and commercial mortgage -backed securities held by the Company are primarily issued by U.S. government agencies and entities. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are consistently highly rated by major rating agencies with very little risk to default. Collateralized mortgage obligations include agency and non-agency residential securities which carry ratings no lower than investment grade “BBB” and pass the federal financial institutions examinations test (Collateral Mortgage Obligation volatility test) at the time of purchase. Corporate securities. Securities held by the Company are primarily comprised of corporate bonds (both senior and subordinated-debt) issued by a firm or public entity which carry ratings no lower than investment grade “BBB” or better by Moody’, Standard and Poor’s, or Kroll rating agencies. All corporate subordinated-debt securities are analyzed and approved by the Company prior to purchase. Allowance for Credit Losses - Available-For-Sale Securities: For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company performs a qualitative assessment as to whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Loans Held for Sale. The Company originates certain loans intended for sale in the secondary market. Conforming agency mortgage production is sold on a servicing retained basis. Certain loans, such as government guaranteed mortgage loans, are sold on a servicing released basis. Residential loans the Company originated with the intent to sell are classified as loans held for sale and recorded at fair value, determined individually, as of the balance sheet date. The loan’s fair value includes the servicing value of the loans as well as any accrued interest. The fair value of loans held for sale are primarily determined based on quoted prices for similar loans in active markets or outstanding commitments from third-party investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to non-interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. Net gains and losses on loan sales are recorded as a component of non-interest income. Performing residential real estate loans that are held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights retained. Upon the sale of an originated loan, the mortgage servicing right is recorded at its estimated fair value. Loans that are originated and classified as held for investment are periodically sold in order to manage liquidity, asset credit quality, interest rate risk, or concentration risk. Loans that are reclassified into loans held for sale from loans held for investment, due to a change in intent, are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell, except for certain loans which are recorded at fair value, determined individually, as of the balance sheet date. Any changes in fair value attributable to credit deterioration at the time of transfer are charged against the allowance for credit losses. Loans Held for Investment. Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost or principal balance outstanding. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts and deferred loan fees and costs. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. 73 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) Accrued interest receivable on loans held for investment totaled $76.5 million and $30.2 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and was reported in the accrued interest receivable line item on the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance of underlying loans. Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued and placed on nonaccrual status at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection. Mortgage loans that are 180 days past due and commercial loans are charged off to the extent principal or interest is deemed uncollectible. Consumer and credit card loans continue to accrue interest until they are charged off no later than 120 days past due unless the loan is in the process of collection. Past-due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Under the cash-basis method, interest income is recorded when the payment is received in cash. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and when, in the opinion of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. Purchased Credit Deteriorated (“PCD”) Loans The Company has loans acquired through acquisitions, some of which have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. Loans that meet at least one of the following criteria are considered to have experienced more-than-insignificant credit deterioration since origination at the date of acquisition: 1) have experienced more than one delinquency of more than 60 days or 60+ days as of the acquisition date; 2) have been placed on nonaccrual status at any point since origination; 3) are special mention, substandard, doubtful as of the acquisition date; 4) have a Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR) status as of the acquisition date; or 5) are in high-risk industries based on macroeconomic conditions and local market conditions of the acquired entity on the acquisition date. PCD loans are recorded at the amount paid for the loan. An allowance for credit losses is determined using the same methodology as other loans held for investment. The initial allowance for credit losses determined on a collective basis is allocated to individual loans. The sum of the loan’s purchase price and allowance for credit losses becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par value of the loan is a noncredit discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of the loan. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through provision expense. Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans held for investment The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected over the life of the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. When forecasting expected recoveries, the amounts should not exceed the aggregate of amounts that have previously been or are expected to be charged-off loans. The Company has elected to not forecast recoveries. Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as for changes in environmental and economic conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, or other relevant factors. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company applies Probability of Default (PD) and Loss Given Default (LGD) methodologies for all portfolio segments. The Company uses a Transition Matrix (TM) for PD components of the methodology and a historical average for the LGD components of methodology. The PD and LGD is applied to the current principal balance as of the reporting date. The TM determines the PD by tracking the historical movement of loans between loan risk tiers over a defined period of time. The Company currently has 17 portfolio segments for which we track monthly movement between either risk ratings or delinquency band. 74 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) While the TM functions similarly across all portfolio segments, generally speaking, commercial portfolios use the Company’s risk rating scale and consumer portfolios use the delinquency band. Loans using risk ratings are scored utilizing the Company’s risk rating scale. The risk rating scale is 1-10, with 1 being the best rating, 6 being a pass but on watch, and 7-10 being various stages of criticized loans. Risk ratings 8 or greater and in a non-accrual status are considered in a defaulted state. Loans using delinquency band are measured using a 5-grade band, with 1 being current and 5 being 90 or more days past due. The LGD used as the basis for the estimate of credit losses is comprised of the Company’s historical loss experience from 2008 to the current period, based on a migration analysis of our historical loss experience, designed to account for credit deterioration. The model compares the most recent period losses to prior period defaults to calculate the LGD, which is averaged over the historical observations. Economic scenarios and forecasts along with current portfolio conditions and trends are monitored and accounted for through the Company’s qualitative framework. The Company utilizes a one-year forecast period with immediate reversion to historical loss rates. The Company segments the loan portfolio into pools based on the following risk characteristics: financial asset type, collateral type, loan characteristics, credit characteristics, outstanding loan balances, contractual terms and prepayment assumptions, vintage, industry of borrower and concentrations, and historical or expected credit loss. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments and measures the allowance for credit losses using the following methods: Portfolio segments using the Company’s risk ratings include the following: Commercial real estate non-owner-occupied loans. These loans include a mix of variable and fixed rate non-farm, non-residential real estate loans secured by non-owner-occupied properties. Commercial real estate non-owner- occupied loans are generally secured by first liens on income-producing real estate and generally mature in less than 10 years. Commercial real estate owner-occupied loans. Non-farm, non-residential real estate loans are generally secured by first liens on real estate where the owner occupant is the majority tenant of the property and generally mature in less than 10 years. Commercial real estate multi-family loans. Commercial real estate multifamily loans are generally secured by first liens on income-producing rental real estate consisting of five or more residential dwelling units. Multi-family loans generally mature in less than 10 years. Construction land acquisition and development loans. Construction land acquisition and development loans are primarily to commercial builders for residential lot development and the construction of single-family residences and commercial real estate properties. Construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to pre-approved permanent financing. During the construction phase the borrower pays interest only. Construction land acquisition and development loans generally mature in three years or less. Residential construction loans. Residential construction loans are primarily to commercial builders or owner occupants for the construction of single-family residences. Construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to credit worthiness or pre-qualification for permanent financing. During the construction phase the borrower pays interest only. Residential construction loans generally transition to a permanent residential loan or mature in two years or less. Commercial construction loans. Commercial construction loans are primarily to commercial builders for commercial real estate properties. Construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to credit worthiness or pre-qualification for permanent financing. During the construction phase the borrower pays interest only. Commercial construction loans generally transition to a permanent commercial real estate loan or mature in two years or less. Agricultural real estate loans. These include loans secured by farmland or ranchland consisting of short, intermediate, and long-term structures to experienced agriculturalists who have demonstrated management capabilities, established production and historical financial performance. Agricultural real estate loans generally mature in ten years or less. 75 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) Commercial and floor plan loans. The Company provides a mix of variable and fixed rate commercial loans in addition to loans to finance dealership floor inventories. The loans are typically made to small and medium-sized manufacturing, wholesale, retail, and service businesses for working capital needs and business expansions. Commercial loans generally include lines of credit, business credit cards, and loans with maturities of five years or less and outstanding balances tend to be cyclical in nature. The loans are generally made with business operations as the primary source of repayment, and are typically collateralized by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, and/ or personal guarantees. Commercial and floor plan loans generally mature in seven years or less. Commercial purpose secured by 1-4 family loans. These include loans for commercial purposes secured by 1-4 family residential property. Commercial purpose loans secured by 1-4 family generally mature in seven years or less. Agricultural loans. Agricultural loans generally consist of short and medium-term loans and lines of credit that are primarily used for crops, livestock, equipment, and general operations. Agricultural loans are ordinarily secured by assets such as livestock or equipment and are repaid from the operations of the farm or ranch. Agricultural loans generally have maturities of seven years or less, with operating lines for one production season. Portfolio segments utilizing the delinquency bands include the following: Consumer indirect loans. These include loan contracts advanced for the purchase of automobiles, boats, and other consumer goods from the consumer product dealer networks within the market areas we serve. Indirect dealer loans are generally secured by automobiles, recreational vehicles, boats, and other types of personal property and are made on an installment basis. Consumer indirect line loans generally mature in seven years or less. Consumer direct and advance line loans. These loans are originated for a variety of purposes including the purchase of automobiles, boats and other consumer goods, home improvements, medical expenses, vehicle repairs, debt consolidation, and planned expenses. Consumer direct and advance line loans generally mature in seven years or less. Consumer credit card loans. These are lines of credit offered to clients in our market areas that are generally floating rate loans and include both unsecured and secured lines. Consumer credit card loans generally do not have stated maturities but are reviewed periodically and are unconditionally cancellable. Consumer home equity and home equity lines of credit (“HELOC”). These include home equity loans and lines of credit that are secured by residential property. Consumer home equity loans generally mature in 15 years or less and HELOC loans generally mature in 25 years or less. Residential 1-4 family and multi-family lending. These are loans to finance the purchase or refinance of residential property which are typically secured by first liens, inclusive of 1-4 family as well as 5+ residential properties. Residential 1-4 family loans generally mature within 15 years but can be up to 30 years. Multi-family loans generally mature in 10 years or less. Commercial credit card loans. These are lines of credit for commercial purposes that are generally floating rate loans and include both unsecured and secured lines. For CECL related segmentation, commercial credit card loans are modeled separately but are reported under Commercial. Commercial credit card loans generally do not have stated maturities but are reviewed periodically and are unconditionally cancellable. Agricultural credit card loans. Lines of credit for agricultural purposes that are generally floating rate loans and are unsecured or secured. For CECL related segmentation, agricultural credit card loans are modeled separately but are reported under Commercial. Agricultural credit card loans generally do not have stated maturities but are reviewed periodically and are unconditionally cancellable. Contractual Term. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless either management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a TDR will be executed with an individual borrower or the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. 76 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) A loan for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, is considered to be a TDR. The allowance for credit loss on a TDR is measured using the same method as all other loans held for investment, except when the value of a concession is individually evaluated using the discounted cash flow method. When the value of a concession is measured using the discounted cash flow method, the allowance for credit loss is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the original interest rate of the loan. Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures. The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Management considers our unused credit card lines and federal fund lines, extended to others, to be considered unconditionally cancellable. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. The estimate considers the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over the estimated life. The Company has identified commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit determined not to be unconditionally cancellable as categories with off-balance sheet credit exposures and uses the commitment balance, expected loss rate, and utilization rate as primary assumptions to develop the allowance for credit losses on those exposures. The loss rate expectation is the same for both the unfunded and funded portions of the credit exposure. The utilization rate represents management’s best estimate of the probability that the unfunded portion of the commitment will be funded given existing economic conditions. Goodwill. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets from acquisitions, or goodwill, is evaluated for impairment at least annually and on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is likely impairment has occurred. Goodwill impairment is determined by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount. In any given year the Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is in excess of its carrying value. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of the carrying value, or if the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, a quantitative impairment test is performed. In performing a quantitative test for impairment, the fair value of net assets is estimated based on analyses of the Company’s market value, discounted cash flows and peer values. The determination of goodwill impairment is sensitive to market-based economics and other key assumptions used in determining or allocating fair value. Variability in the market and changes in assumptions or subjective measurements used to allocate fair value are reasonably possible and may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations. Core Deposit and Other Customer Relationship Intangibles. Intangible assets consist of core deposit intangibles and other customer relationship intangibles. Core deposit intangibles represent the intangible value of depositor relationships resulting from deposit liabilities assumed, as a result of acquisitions, and are amortized using an accelerated method based on the estimated weighted average useful lives of the related deposits, which is generally ten years. Other customer relationship intangibles represent the value of the identifiable intangible value assigned to customer relationships arising from acquired companies and are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life, which is 12 years. Mortgage Servicing Rights. The Company recognizes the rights to service mortgage loans for others, whether acquired or internally originated. Mortgage servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value based on comparable market data and are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated quarterly for impairment by discounting the expected future cash flows, taking into consideration the estimated level of prepayments based on current industry expectations and the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans including loan type, note rate, and loan term. Impairment adjustments, if any, are recorded through a valuation allowance. Premises and Equipment. Buildings, furniture, and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using straight-line methods over estimated useful lives of 5 to 45 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 15 years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements and assets acquired under a financing lease are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the related leases. Land is recorded at cost. Costs incurred for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. 77 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) We have leased branches and office space and have entered into various other agreements in conducting our business. Operating lease right-of-use assets are included within the Premises and Equipment line item and our operating lease liability is included within the Other Liabilities line item. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, subject to any changes in the lease or expectations regarding the terms. Variable lease costs such as property taxes are expensed as incurred. Lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately as the amounts are readily determinable under our lease contracts. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company elected to apply certain practical expedients whereby we did not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. We elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. In recognizing lease right-of use assets and related lease liabilities, we determine whether an agreement represents a lease and at commencement of the lease we evaluate each agreement to determine whether the lease is an operating or financing lease. Some of our lease agreements have contained renewal options, tenant improvement allowances, rent holidays, and rent escalation clauses. We hold one financing lease with the remaining leases classified as operating leases. Right-of-use lease assets represent our right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and the lease obligation represents our commitment to make the lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use lease assets and obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For the Company’s leases that do not provide an implicit rate, we use an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The right-of-use lease asset includes any lease payments made prior to commencement and excludes any lease incentives. The estimated lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Company-Owned Life Insurance. Key executive and group life insurance policies are recorded at their cash surrender value. Separate account group life insurance policies are subject to a stable value contract that offsets the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the market value of the policies and are recorded at the stabilized investment value. Increases in the cash surrender or stabilized investment value of insurance policies, as well as insurance proceeds received, are recorded as other non-interest income, and are not subject to income taxes. Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company has a deferred compensation plan for the benefit of certain highly compensated officers and directors of the Company. The plan allows for discretionary employer contributions in excess of tax limits applicable to the Company’s 401(k) plan and the deferral of salary, short-term incentives, or director fees subject to certain limitations. Deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at fair value. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, deferred compensation plan assets were $18.7 million and $21.4 million, respectively. Corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities were $18.7 million and $21.4 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets, including premises and equipment and certain identifiable intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The amount of the impairment loss, if any, is based on the asset’s fair value. No impairment losses were recognized in 2022, 2021, or 2020. Other Real Estate Owned (OREO). Real estate acquired in satisfaction of loans is initially carried at current fair value less estimated selling costs. Any excess of loan carrying value over the fair value of the real estate acquired is recorded as a charge to the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent declines in fair value less estimated selling costs are included in OREO expense. Subsequent increases in fair value less estimated selling costs are recorded as a reduction in OREO expense to the extent of recognized losses. Operating expenses, net of related income, and gains or losses on sales are included in OREO expense. 78 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) Restricted Equity Securities. The Company, as a member of the FRB and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (“FHLB”), is required to maintain investments in each of the organization’s capital stock. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, restricted equity securities of the FRB of $93.6 million and $42.8 million, respectively, and restricted equity securities of the FHLB of $103.8 million and $10.6 million, respectively, in addition to other equity securities of $1.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, were included in the consolidated balance sheets caption FHLB and FRB stock, at cost. No ready market exists for the FHLB and FRB restricted equity securities, and they have no quoted market values. Restricted equity securities are periodically reviewed for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recovery of par value is influenced by the significance of the decline compared to the cost basis of the restricted equity securities, length of time a decline has persisted, impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the issuing organizations, and the liquidity positions of the issuing organizations. Based on management’s assessment, no impairment losses were recorded on restricted equity securities during 2022, 2021, or 2020. Derivatives and Hedging Activities. For asset and liability management purposes, the Company enters into interest rate swap contracts to hedge against changes in forecasted cash flows due to interest rate exposures. Interest rate swaps are contracts in which a series of interest payments are exchanged over a prescribed period. The notional amount upon which the interest payments are based is not exchanged. The Company formally assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. The gain or loss on cash flow hedging instruments is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the transaction affects earnings. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when (a) it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item (including forecasted transactions); (b) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; (c) the derivative is de-designated as a hedge instrument, because it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur; or (d) management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the derivative will continue to be carried on the balance sheet at its fair value, and gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income will be recognized immediately in earnings. In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the derivative will be carried at its fair value on the balance sheet, with subsequent changes in its fair value recognized in current-period earnings. The Company also enters into certain interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative contracts relate to transactions in which the Company enters into an interest rate swap with a client while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with a third-party financial institution. Because the Company acts as an intermediary for the client, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts for the most part offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments to finance residential mortgage loans that are not designated as accounting hedges. These commitments, which contain fixed expiration dates, offer the borrower an interest rate guarantee provided the loan meets underwriting guidelines and closes within the timeframe established by the Company. Interest rate risk arises on these commitments and subsequently closed loans if interest rates change between the time of the interest rate lock and the delivery of the loan to the investor. Loan commitments related to residential mortgage loans intended to be sold are considered derivatives and are marked to market through earnings. In addition to the effects of the change in market interest rate, the fair value measurement of the derivative also contemplates the expected cash flows to be received from the counterparty from the future sale of the loan. 79 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) The Company sells residential mortgage loans on either a best efforts or mandatory delivery basis. The Company mitigates the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing interest rate lock commitments by entering into forward loan sales contracts. During the interest rate lock commitment period, these forward loan sales contracts are marked to market through earnings and are not designated as accounting hedges. Exclusive of the fair value component associated with the projected cash flows from the loan delivery to the investor, the changes in fair value related to movements in market rates of the interest rate lock commitments and the forward loan sales contracts generally move in opposite directions, and the net impact of changes in these valuations on net income during the loan commitment period is generally inconsequential. When the loan is funded to the borrower, the interest rate lock commitment derivative expires and the Company records a loan held for sale. The forward loan sales contract acts as a hedge against the variability in cash to be received from the loan sale. The changes in measurement of the estimated fair values of the interest rate lock commitments and forward loan sales contracts are included in mortgage banking revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Software. Capitalized software, stated at cost less accumulated amortization, includes purchased software, capitalizable application development costs associated with internally developed software, and cloud computing arrangements, including capitalizable implementation costs associated with hosting arrangements that are service contracts. Capitalized software is included in premises and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization expense, generally computed on the straight-line method, is charged to furniture and equipment in the Consolidated Statements of Income over the estimated useful life of the software, generally three to five years, or the term of the hosting arrangement for implementation costs related to service contracts. Cloud computing arrangements include software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and other similar hosting arrangements. The Company primarily utilizes SaaS and PaaS arrangements. Capitalized implementation costs of hosting arrangements that are service contracts were $3.4 million and $4.6 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Earnings Per Common Share. Basic and diluted earnings per common share are calculated using a two-class method. Under the two-class method, basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding outstanding participating securities. Participating securities include non-vested performance restricted stock awards granted and all non-vested time restricted stock awards. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding determined for the basic earnings per share calculation plus the dilutive effect of stock compensation using the treasury stock method. Income Taxes. The Parent Company and its subsidiaries have elected to be included in a consolidated federal income tax return. For state income tax purposes, the combined taxable income of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries is apportioned among the states in which operations take place. Federal and state income taxes attributable to the subsidiaries, computed on a separate return basis, are paid to or received from the Parent Company. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on enacted income tax rates which will be in effect when the differences between the financial statement carrying values and tax bases of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in taxable income. Positions taken in the Company’s tax returns may be subject to challenge by the taxing authorities upon examination. Uncertain tax positions are initially recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions are both initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. The Company provides for interest and, in some cases, penalties on tax positions that may be challenged by the taxing authorities. Interest expense is recognized beginning in the first period that such interest would begin accruing. Penalties are recognized in the period that the Company claims the position in the tax return. Interest and penalties on income tax uncertainties are classified within income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state examinations by tax authorities for years before 2019. The Company had no material penalties as of December 31, 2022, 2021, or 2020. 80 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue as it is earned based on contractual terms, as transactions occur, or as services are provided and collectability is reasonably assured. The principal source of revenue is interest income from loans and investments. The Company also earns non-interest income from various banking and financial services offered to its clients. Certain specific policies related to non-interest income include the following: Wealth management and trust fee income Wealth management and trust fee income represents monthly or other periodic fees due from wealth management clients as consideration for managing the clients’ assets. Wealth management and trust services include custody of assets, investment management, fees for trust services and similar fiduciary activities. Revenue is recognized when our performance obligation is completed. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. Optional services such as estate settlement and other court appointed services are available to existing trust and asset management clients. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Service charges on deposit accounts Service charges on deposit accounts represent general service fees for account maintenance and activity- or transaction-based fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue. Revenue is recognized when our performance obligation is completed for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed (such as a wire transfer or check orders). Payment for such performance obligations are generally received at a point in time when the performance obligations are satisfied. Interchange and other fees Interchange and other fees primarily represent debit and credit card income comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as MasterCard. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income primarily represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Swap fee income primarily represents income associated with the execution of dealer bank swap agreements. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, bill pay service, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for interchange and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when completion of the services are rendered at a point in time. Annuity and insurance commissions Annuity and insurance commissions primarily represent commissions received on annuity and insurance product sales. The Company acts as an intermediary between the Company’s client and the insurance carrier. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied upon the issuance of the annuity or insurance policy, the carrier then remits the commission payment to the Company, and the Company recognizes the revenue at a point in time. Comprehensive Income (Loss). Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income, as well as other changes in stockholders’ equity that result from transactions and economic events other than those with shareholders. In addition to net income, the Company’s comprehensive income (loss) includes the after tax effect of changes in unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities and derivatives designated as fair value or cash flow hedges, and changes in the unamortized gain or loss on available-for-sale investment securities transferred to held-to-maturity. Segment Reporting. An operating segment is defined as a component of a business for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and evaluate performance. The “Segment Reporting” topic of the FASB ASC requires that public companies report certain information about operating segments. It also requires that public companies report certain information about their products and services, the geographic areas in which they operate, and their major clients. The Company is a holding company for a regional community bank, which offers a wide array of products and services to its clients.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) Advertising Costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $3.8 million, $2.6 million, and $2.8 million in 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Transfers of Financial Assets. Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company; the transferee obtains the right, free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right, to pledge or exchange the transferred assets; and, the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. Stock-Based Compensation. Compensation cost for all stock-based awards is measured at fair value on the date of grant and is recognized over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest. The impact of forfeitures of stock-based payment awards on compensation expense is recognized as forfeitures occur. Stock-based compensation expense of $9.6 million, $8.9 million, and $7.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, is included in benefits expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Related income tax deficiency (benefits) recognized for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 were $0.2 million, $(0.5) million, and $(0.4) million, respectively, is included in income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. Fair Value Measurements. In general, fair value measurements are based upon quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value measurements are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and require some degree of judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments and other factors. The use of different assumptions or estimation techniques may have a significant effect on the fair value amounts reported. (2) ACQUISITION Great Western Bank. On September 15, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (“Agreement”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of Great Western Bancorp, Inc. (“Great Western”), the parent company of Great Western Bank (“GWB”), a Sioux Falls, South Dakota based community bank with 174 banking offices across Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The acquisition of GWB expanded the Company’s geographical footprint with an enhanced platform for future growth. Consideration for the acquisition was $1,723.3 million, consisting of the issuance of 46.9 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock valued at $36.76 per share, which was the opening price of the Company’s Class A common stock as quoted on the NASDAQ stock market on the acquisition date. The acquisition was completed on February 1, 2022. The Company accounted for this transaction under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires purchased assets and liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged to be recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The determination of estimated fair values required management to make certain estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, and market conditions at the time of the acquisition, as well as other future events that are highly subjective in nature. This determination is subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information relative to the closing date fair values becomes available and such information is considered final, whichever is earlier. The following table provides the purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date and the Great Western assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair value as of the acquisition date as amended for measurement period adjustments as of December 31, 2022. We recorded the estimate of fair value based on valuations at the acquisition date. The excess value of the consideration paid over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $479.3 million, of which $31.7 million is deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition was allocated to the Company’s one operating segment, community banking, and consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of Great Western and the Company. All amounts reported were finalized during the fourth quarter of 2022. 82 As of February 1, 2022Assets acquired:Cash and cash equivalents$ 2,006.9 Investment securities 2,699.0 Securities purchased under agreement to resell 101.1 Loans held for sale 217.0 Loans held for investment 7,705.0 Allowance for credit losses (59.5) Premises and equipment, including right of use lease assets 144.7 Other real estate owned (“OREO”) 15.8 Company owned life insurance 186.6 Core deposit intangibles 50.1 Customer relationship intangible 22.8 Mortgage servicing rights 1.3 Deferred tax assets, net 60.2 Other assets 200.8 Total assets acquired 13,351.8 Liabilities assumed:Deposits 11,688.0 Securities sold under repurchase agreements 74.0 Accrued expenses and other liabilities 110.4 FHLB advances 122.9 Subordinated debt 36.4 Subordinated debentures held by subsidiary trusts 76.1 Total liabilities assumed 12,107.8 Net assets acquired$ 1,244.0 Consideration paid:Class A common stock 1,723.3 Total consideration paid (1)$ 1,723.3 Goodwill$ 479.3 (1) Includes $13 thousand of cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.As of December 31, 2022, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments to the fair value marks as indicated in the table below. These adjustments resulted in a net decrease to goodwill of $36.7 million from the March 31, 2022 reported balances. The related impact to net income that would have been recognized in previous periods if the adjustments were recognized as of the acquisition date was not material to the consolidated financial statements.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) 83 The Company determined the fair value of loans, core deposit and customer relationship intangible assets, investment securities, premises and equipment, leases, mortgage servicing rights, deposits, FHLB advances, subordinated debt, and subordinated debentures held by subsidiary trusts with the assistance of third-party valuation specialists. The following is a description of the methods used to determine the fair values of significant assets and liabilities presented above.Cash and cash equivalentsThe carrying amount of these assets is a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the short-term nature of these assets.Investment SecuritiesFair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value estimates are based on observable inputs including quoted market prices for similar instruments, quoted market prices that are not in an active market or other inputs that are observable in the market. In the absence of observable inputs, fair value is estimated based on pricing models and/or discounted cash flow methodologies.Loans held for sale The loans held for sale portfolio was recorded at fair value based on discounted payoffs and quotes or bids from third party investors, or based on the terms of the loans, such as interest rate, maturity date, reset term, as well as sales, quotes, or bids of similar assets.Loans held for investment A valuation of the loans held for investment portfolio was performed by a third party as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 820 to assess the fair value of the loan portfolio, considering adjustments for interest rate risk, required equity return, servicing, credit, and liquidity risk. The loans held for investment portfolio was segmented into two groups including purchase credit deteriorated (PCD) loans and non-PCD loans. The non-PCD loans were pooled based on similar characteristics, such as loan type, fixed or adjustable interest rates, payment type, index rate and caps/floors, and non-accrual status. The PCD loans were valued at the loan level with similar characteristics noted above. The fair value was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis to estimate the fair value of the loans using assumptions for the coupon rates, remaining maturities, prepayment speeds, projected default probabilities, loss given defaults, and estimates of prevailing discount rates. The discount rate utilized to analyze fair value considered the cost of funds rate, capital charge, servicing costs, liquidity premium, and risk premium, mostly based on industry standards. The discounted cash flow approach models the credit losses directly in the projected cash flows. The Company estimated the credit risks and principal losses of the loans using the Company’s assumptions of probability of default, loss given default, and foreclosures.The Company is required to record PCD assets, defined as a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination or issuance, at the purchase price plus the allowance for credit losses expected at the time of acquisition. Under this method, there is no credit loss expense affecting net income on acquisition of PCD assets. Changes in estimates of expected credit losses after acquisition are recognized in subsequent periods as credit loss expense (or reversal of credit loss expense) arise. Any non-credit discount or premium resulting from acquiring a pool of purchased financial assets with credit deterioration is allocated to each individual asset. At the acquisition date, the initial allowance for credit losses determined on a collective basis is allocated to individual assets to appropriately allocate any non-credit discount or premium. The non-credit discount or premium, after the adjustment for the allowance for credit losses, is accreted to interest income using the interest method based on the effective interest rate determined after the adjustment for credit losses at the adoption date.

Core deposit intangible Core deposit intangible assets of $50.1 million on non-maturing deposits were determined by evaluating the underlying characteristics of the deposit relationships, including customer attrition, deposit interest rates and maintenance costs, and costs of alternative funding using the discounted cash flow approach. The core deposit intangibles represent the costs saved by the Company between maintaining the existing deposits and obtaining alternative funds over the life of the deposit base. These costs are amortized using an accelerated method over the estimated useful life of 10 years for the related deposits. Customer relationship intangibleCustomer relationship intangible assets of $22.8 million were determined using an excess earnings model associated with the expected fee income related to the underlying client relationships and is being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 12 years.Premises and equipmentThe fair values of premises are based on a market approach, using third-party appraisals and other analysis of value for land and premises.DepositsThe fair values used for the demand and savings deposits equal the amounts payable on demand at the acquisition date. In determining the fair value of certificates of deposit, the cash flows of the contractual interest payments during the specific period of the certificates of deposit and scheduled principal payout were discounted to present value at market-based interest rates.FHLB advancesThe fair value of fixed rate FHLB advances was determined using a discounted cash flow approach. The cash flows of the advances were projected based on scheduled payments of the fixed rate advances, which factored in prepayment fees. The cash flows were then discounted to present value using the FHLB rates as of February 1, 2022.Subordinated debt and subordinated debentures held by subsidiary trustsThe fair value of subordinated debt and subordinated debentures held by subsidiary trusts was determined by using a discounted cash flow method using a market participant discount rate for similar instruments over the remaining terms.FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company contributed $21.5 million to the First Interstate Foundation and reimbursed an aggregate of $8.2 million of the Scott family control group’s acquisition expenses pursuant to the Agreement. The accompanying consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2022, include the results of operations of the acquired entity from the February 1, 2022 acquisition date. The disclosure of GWB post-acquisition revenue and net income is not practical due to the combining of certain GWB operations with and into FIB as of the acquisition date.

Such securities were evaluated and it was determined that there were no investment securities that met the definition of a PCD asset and none were classified as PCD upon acquisition. The Company determines credit losses on both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment securities by a discounted cash flow approach using the security’s effective interest rate at the time of purchase or upon acquisition. The allowance for credit losses is measured as the amount by which an investment security’s amortized cost exceeds the net present value of expected future cash flows. However, the amount of credit losses for available-for-sale investment securities is limited to the amount of a security’s unrealized loss. Credit losses on held-to-maturity investment securities are representative of current expected credit losses that may be incurred over the life of the investment. The allowance for credit losses is established through a charge to provision for credit losses in current period earnings.The available-for-sale securities portfolio contains securities that are guaranteed by a sovereign entity or are generally considered to have non-credit related risks, such as interest rate risk or prepayment and liquidity factors. The Company considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies and whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred. The Company had no allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale investment securities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had 1,222 and 285 individual investment securities, respectively, that were in an unrealized loss position, which was related primarily to fluctuations in current interest rates.

In evaluating the overall risk associated with a loan, the Company considers (1) character, overall financial condition and resources, and payment record of the borrower; (2) the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors; and (3) the nature and degree of protection provided by the cash flow and value of any underlying collateral. The loan may become collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and, its sources of repayment become inadequate over time. At such time, the Company develops an expectation that repayment will be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC.

Additionally, no material interest income was recognized on non-accrual loans at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $1.5 million accrued interest was reversed at December 31, 2022.Troubled Debt RestructuringsModifications of performing loans are made in the ordinary course of business and are completed on a case-by-case basis through negotiation with the borrower in connection with the ongoing loan collection processes. Loan modifications are made to provide borrowers payment relief and typically include adjustments such as changes to interest rates, the implementation of interest only periods of less than twelve months, the deferment of short-term payments, and extension of amortization periods. A loan modification is considered a TDR if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and the Company, for economic or legal reasons, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not under other circumstances. Certain troubled loans are on non-accrual status at the time of debt restructuring. These restructured loans may be returned to accrual status if the borrower has exhibited sustained repayment performance in compliance with the restructuring agreement for a period of at least six months and the Company is reasonably assured of the borrower’s future performance. If the TDR meets these performance criteria, and the interest rate granted at the modification date is equal to or greater than the rate that the Company might grant for a new loan at the same time at comparable risk, then the loan will be reclassified to performing status and the accrual of interest will resume. Loans that return to performing status will continue to be evaluated individually for credit deterioration in the ordinary course of business. The 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) provided financial institutions with options on the treatment of TDRs, and the Company elected to apply these options at the individual loan level. Under the CARES Act, the Company could elect: (1) to suspend the requirements under GAAP for loan modifications related to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID–19”) pandemic that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR; and/or (2) to suspend any determination of a loan modified as being a TDR as a result of the effects of the COVID–19 pandemic, including impairment for accounting purposes. If the Company elects a suspension noted above, the suspension (a) will be effective for the term of the loan modification, but solely with respect to any modification, including a forbearance arrangement, an interest rate modification, a repayment plan, and any other similar arrangement that defers or delays the payment of principal or interest, occurring for a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (b) will not apply to any adverse impact on the credit of a borrower that is not related to the COVID–19 pandemic. These suspensions ended on January 2, 2022. FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) 98 The Company renegotiated loans in TDRs in the amount of $64.6 million as of December 31, 2022, of which $4.2 million were included in non-accrual loans and $60.4 million were on accrual status. As of December 31, 2022, the Company allocated $1.1 million of allowance for credit losses to those loans and the Company had no material commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose existing loans have been renegotiated or are classified as non-accrual.The Company renegotiated loans in TDRs in the amount of $6.2 million as of December 31, 2021, of which $3.9 million were included in non-accrual loans and $2.3 million were on accrual status. As of December 31, 2021, the Company allocated $0.1 million of allowance for credit losses to those loans and the Company had no material commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose existing loans have been renegotiated or are classified as non-accrual.The Company had $71.7 million of new TDRs during the period ended December 31, 2022 and no material new TDRs during the periods ending December 31, 2021 and 2020.

In periods after modification, the Company continues to evaluate all TDRs for possible credit deterioration and, where deterioration is observed, recognizes credit loss through the allowance. Additionally, the Company continues to work these loans through the credit cycle through charge-off, pay-off, or foreclosure. Financial effects of modifications of TDRs may include principal loan forgiveness or other charge-offs directly related to the restructuring. The Company had $5.7 million in charge-offs directly related to modifying an acquired PCD loan, for which a TDR was initiated during the period ending December 31, 2022. The Company had no charge-offs directly related to TDRs during the periods ending December 31, 2021, and 2020. The Company had no material TDRs resulting in payment default during the periods ending December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. The Company considers a payment default to occur on TDRs when the loan is 90 days or more past due or is placed on non-accrual status after the modification. During the period ending December 31, 2022, the Company modified the terms of certain other loans with a total recorded investment of $743.3 million where the loan did not meet the definition of a TDR and the borrowers had not been experiencing financial difficulties or there were delays in a payment considered to be insignificant. The Company determines whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty by evaluating the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification as required under the Company’s internal underwriting policy. FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) 99 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans (PCD) The Company analyzes all acquired loans at the time of acquisition for more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since their origination date. Such loans are classified as PCD, also referred to as PCD loans. Acquired loans classified as PCD are recorded at an initial amortized cost, which is comprised of the purchase price of the loans plus the initial allowance for credit losses for the loans, and any resulting discount or premium related to factors other than credit. The Company accounts for interest income on PCD loans using the interest method, whereby any purchase discounts or premiums are accreted or amortized into interest income as an adjustment of the loan’s yield. The following table reconciles the par value, or initial amortized cost, of PCD loans acquired in the GWB acquisition as of the date of the acquisition with the purchase price (or initial fair value of the loans) as amended for measurement period adjustments as of December 31, 2022: Purchase price (initial fair value) Allowance for credit losses (1) Discount attributable to other factors (2) Par value (unpaid principal balance) 623.3 298.2 57.7 979.2 (1) For acquired PCD loans, an allowance of $298.2 million was required with a corresponding increase to the amortized cost basis as of the acquisition date. For PCD loans where all or a portion of the loan balance had been previously written-off by GWB, or would be subject to write-off under the Company’s charge-off policy, a CECL allowance of $238.7 million, included as part of the grossed-up loan balance at acquisition was immediately written-off. The net impact to the allowance for PCD assets on the acquisition date was $59.5 million. $ $ (2) Non-credit discount includes the difference between the amortized cost basis and the unpaid principal balance of $39.6 million established on GWB PCD loans acquired and interest applied to principal of $18.1 million. Credit Quality Indicators As part of the on-going and continuous monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks internally assigned risk classifications of loans based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt. The factors considered by the Company include, among other factors, the borrower’s current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends. The Company analyzes loans individually to classify the credit risk of the loans. This analysis generally includes loans with an outstanding balance greater than $1.0 million, which are generally considered non- homogeneous loans, such as commercial loans and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed no less than on an annual basis, depending upon the size of exposure and the contractual obligations governing the borrower’s financial reporting frequency. Homogeneous loans, including small business loans, are typically managed by payment performance. The Company internally risk rates its loans in accordance with a Uniform Classification System developed jointly by the various bank regulatory agencies. The Uniform Classification System defines three broad categories of criticized assets, which the Company uses as credit quality indicators in addition to the 6 Pass ratings in its 10-point rating scale: Special Mention — includes loans that exhibit a potential weakness in financial condition, loan structure, or documentation that warrants management’s close attention. If not promptly corrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. Substandard — includes loans that are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower which have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Although the primary source of repayment for a substandard loan may not currently be sufficient, collateral or other sources of repayment are sufficient to satisfy the debt. Continuance of a substandard loan is not warranted unless positive steps are taken to improve the worthiness of the credit. Doubtful — includes loans that exhibit pronounced weaknesses based on currently existing facts, conditions, and values to a point where collection or liquidation for full repayment is highly questionable and improbable. Doubtful loans are required to be placed on non-accrual status and are assigned specific loss exposure. Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above-described process are considered pass-rated loans. 100 The Company evaluates the credit quality and loan performance for the allowance for credit loan losses of the following segments based on the aforementioned risk scale for the periods indicated:Commercial real estate non-owner occupied:Pass$ 1,162.6 $ 861.3 $ 661.1 $ 467.6 $ 241.5 $ 890.4 $ 29.2 $ 4,313.7 Special mention 1.0 6.8 2.3 4.6 — 7.4 — 22.1 Substandard 0.1 13.9 10.8 18.2 19.6 9.8 — 72.4 Total$ 1,163.7 $ 882.0 $ 674.2 $ 490.4 $ 261.1 $ 907.6 $ 29.2 $ 4,408.2 Commercial real estate owner occupied:Pass$ 793.0 $ 718.7 $ 533.9 $ 266.3 $ 165.8 $ 551.3 $ 18.2 $ 3,047.2 Special mention 10.9 14.2 12.3 6.1 5.6 5.5 1.1 55.7 Substandard 8.4 3.0 2.3 8.9 8.5 17.2 0.5 48.8 Doubtful 0.4 1.4 — — — — — 1.8 Total$ 812.7 $ 737.3 $ 548.5 $ 281.3 $ 179.9 $ 574.0 $ 19.8 $ 3,153.5 Commercial multi-family:Pass$ 369.2 $ 204.9 $ 189.0 $ 52.1 $ 35.0 $ 113.7 $ 1.0 $ 964.9 Special mention — — — — — 1.7 — 1.7 Substandard — — — — — 0.3 — 0.3 Total$ 369.2 $ 204.9 $ 189.0 $ 52.1 $ 35.0 $ 115.7 $ 1.0 $ 966.9 Land, acquisition and development:Pass$ 152.5 $ 114.4 $ 29.5 $ 17.0 $ 10.9 $ 28.4 $ 22.2 $ 374.9 Special mention 6.7 — — — 0.2 0.3 — 7.2 Substandard — 0.3 0.2 — — 0.4 — 0.9 Doubtful — 3.2 — — — — — 3.2 Total$ 159.2 $ 117.9 $ 29.7 $ 17.0 $ 11.1 $ 29.1 $ 22.2 $ 386.2 Residential construction:Pass$ 118.4 $ 119.9 $ 0.4 $ 0.3 $ 0.4 $ 5.8 $ 270.1 $ 515.3 Substandard — 0.5 — — — 0.4 — 0.9 Total$ 118.4 $ 120.4 $ 0.4 $ 0.3 $ 0.4 $ 6.2 $ 270.1 $ 516.2 Commercial construction:Pass$ 442.7 $ 374.8 $ 89.7 $ 45.9 $ 0.4 $ — $ 10.6 $ 964.1 Special mention 2.3 — 23.1 — — — 11.3 36.7 Substandard 16.8 24.4 — — — — — 41.2 Total$ 461.8 $ 399.2 $ 112.8 $ 45.9 $ 0.4 $ — $ 21.9 $ 1,042.0 Agricultural real estate:Pass$ 180.0 $ 172.8 $ 109.5 $ 64.8 $ 46.6 $ 105.1 $ 31.4 $ 710.2 Special mention 22.4 0.7 1.2 2.6 10.0 3.2 11.0 51.1 Substandard 1.8 12.3 3.5 0.6 2.7 11.3 0.1 32.3 Doubtful — — 1.3 — — — — 1.3 Total$ 204.2 $ 185.8 $ 115.5 $ 68.0 $ 59.3 $ 119.6 $ 42.5 $ 794.9 Commercial and floor plans:Pass$ 501.7 $ 358.9 $ 214.4 $ 124.3 $ 120.3 $ 171.1 $ 631.6 $ 2,122.3 Special mention 15.9 6.8 1.3 4.4 0.9 4.9 18.5 52.7 Substandard 9.8 3.3 3.7 3.4 3.2 2.1 47.2 72.7 Doubtful 0.3 1.3 — — — — 0.1 1.7 Total$ 527.7 $ 370.3 $ 219.4 $ 132.1 $ 124.4 $ 178.1 $ 697.4 $ 2,249.4 December 31, 2022Term Loans Amortized Cost Basis by Origination YearRisk by Collateral20222021202020192018PriorRevolving Loans Amortized Cost BasisTotalFIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) 105 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) (10) DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through the management of its business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swap contracts to manage or hedge exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates and interest rate exposures. The Company does not enter into interest rate swap agreements for trading or speculative purposes. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into interest rate lock commitments to finance residential mortgage loans that are not designated as accounting hedges. These commitments, which contain fixed expiration dates, offer the borrower an interest rate guarantee, provided the loan meets underwriting guidelines, and closes within the timeframe established by the Company. Interest rate risk arises on these commitments and subsequently on closed loans if interest rates change between the time of the interest rate lock and the delivery of the loan to the investor. Loan commitments related to residential mortgage loans intended to be sold are considered derivatives and are marked to market through earnings. In addition to the effects of the change in market interest rate, the fair value measurement of the derivative also contemplates the expected cash flows to be received from the counterparty from the future sale of the loan. The Company sells residential mortgage loans on either a best efforts or mandatory delivery basis. The Company mitigates the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing interest rate lock commitments by entering into forward loan sales contracts. The forward loan sales contracts are marked to market through earnings and are not designated as accounting hedges during the interest rate lock commitment period and through the duration of the forward loan sales contracts. Exclusive of the fair value component associated with the projected cash flows from the loan delivery to the investor, the changes in fair value related to movements in market rates of the interest rate lock commitments and the forward loan sales contracts generally move in opposite directions, and the net impact of changes in these valuations on net income during the loan commitment period is generally inconsequential. When the loan is funded to the borrower, the interest rate lock commitment derivative expires, and the Company records a loan held for sale. The forward loan sales contract acts as a hedge against the variability in cash to be received from the loan sale. The changes in measurement of the estimated fair values of the interest rate lock commitments and forward loan sales contracts are included in mortgage banking revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The Company also enters into certain interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative contracts relate to transactions in which the Company enters into an interest rate swap with a client while at the same time entering into an offsetting interest rate swap with a third-party financial institution. Because the Company acts as an intermediary for the client, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts for the most part offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations. Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and collars as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges on the trust preferred securities involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the existing variable-rate borrowings (trust preferred securities). The trades that the Company had in place on its trust preferred securities matured during the first and second quarters of 2022. As part of the Company’s overall asset and liability management strategy, in August 2022, the Company entered into two interest rate collars related to variable-rate loans that were designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional amount of $300.0 million. The collars designated as cash flow hedges synthetically fix the interest income received by the Company when the collar index falls below a floor rate on a rate reset during the term of the collar and when the collar index exceeds the cap rate on a rate reset during the term of the collar without exchange of the underlying notional amount. In October 2022, the Company entered into four forward starting receive-fixed hedges related to pools of variable-rate loans and securities that were designated as cash flow hedges with a total notional amount of $850.0 million. The swaps designated as cash flow hedges synthetically fix the interest income received by the Company once they become effective. 106 For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income related to derivatives will be reclassified as interest expense when interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate liabilities. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $5.4 million will be reclassified to interest income. Fair Value Hedges of Interest Rate RiskThe Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate assets due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate. Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts to a counterparty in exchange for the Company receiving variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. During 2021, the Company entered into two forward starting, fixed interest rate fair value hedges associated with U.S. Treasury securities. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company terminated the $500.0 million, two-year forward starting, three-year pay-fixed interest rate swap, resulting in a $23.3 million gain. The gain associated with the $500.0 million interest rate swap was to be accreted into income through May 2026. However, the U.S. Treasury securities associated with the swap were sold during the fourth quarter of 2022. As such, the gain was accreted through August 2022 and then in September 2022 the remaining gain was recognized as income. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company terminated the $200.0 million, three-year forward starting, four-year pay fixed interest rate swap, resulting in a $8.5 million gain that will be accreted into income through July 2028.For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in interest income. The following amounts were recorded on the balance sheet related to cumulative basis adjustment for fair value hedges for the periods indicated:December 31, 2022December 31, 2021Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets/(Liabilities)Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging Adjustment Carrying Amount of the Hedged Assets/(Liabilities)Cumulative Amount of Fair Value Hedging AdjustmentAvailable-for-sale securities$ 191.9 $ 8.1 $ 695.6 $ (4.4) Non-designated HedgesDerivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.Risk Participation AgreementsThe Company acquired from GWB risk participation agreements under which it assumes credit risk associated with a borrower’s performance related to derivative contracts. The Company only enters into these credit risk participation agreements in instances in which the Company is also a party to the related loan participation agreements for such borrowers. The Company manages its credit risk under risk participation agreements by monitoring the creditworthiness of the borrower, based on its normal credit review process.

There are no shares of Class B common stock outstanding. Our common stock is uncertificated. The Class A common stock has one vote per share. The Company had 104,442,023 shares of Class A common stock common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2022. The Company had 41,699,409 shares of Class A common stock and 20,501,047 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2021.On February 1, 2022, the Company issued 46,879,601 shares of its Class A common stock with an aggregate value of approximately $1.7 billion as consideration for the acquisition of Great Western.

The aggregate value of the shares issued to directors is included in stock-based compensation expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity.On March 25, 2022, all outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B common stock automatically converted into shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”). No additional shares of Class B common stock are permitted to be issued. The conversion occurred automatically pursuant to the Company’s Charter because the number of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class B common stock represented on March 25, 2022, the record date for determining the shareholders of the Company entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, was less than twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate number of all of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of the Company. The former holders of Class B common stock now hold Class A common stock with the same voting powers, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the other holders of Class A common stock. All shares of the Company’s outstanding capital stock are now composed solely of shares of Class A common stock and are entitled to one vote per share. The Company’s Class A common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the ticker symbol “FIBK”.

(16) EARNINGS PER COMMON SHAREBasic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented, excluding unvested restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares determined for the basic earnings per share computation plus the dilutive effects of stock-based compensation using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:Year Ended December 31,202220212020Net income, basic and diluted$ 202.2 $ 192.1 $ 161.2 Weighted average common shares outstanding for basic earnings per share computation 103,274,070 61,650,312 63,611,891 Dilutive effects of stock-based compensation 66,929 91,516 117,579 Weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted earnings per common share computation 103,340,999 61,741,828 63,729,470 Basic earnings per common share$ 1.96 $ 3.12 $ 2.53 Diluted earnings per common share 1.96 3.11 2.53 The Company had 52,027, 83,952, and 3,094 unvested time restricted stock outstanding as of December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The Company had 470,622, 333,767, and 291,540 shares of unvested restricted stock as of December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because performance conditions for vesting had not been met. (17) REGULATORY CAPITALThe Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking regulators, including the Federal Reserve. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Parent Company, like all bank holding companies, is not subject to the prompt corrective action provisions. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) 116 Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of tier 1 capital to average assets, as defined in the regulations. As of December 31, 2022, the Company exceeded all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of December 31, 2022, the most recent notification from the regulatory agencies categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since the most recent notification that management believes have changed the Bank's categories.As an approved mortgage seller, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum level of capital specified by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) 117 In connection with the adoption of CECL, or ASC 326, on January 1, 2020, the Company recognized an after-tax cumulative effect reduction to retained earnings totaling $24.1 million. In March 2020, the Office of the Comptroller of Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the FDIC issued an interim final rule that allowed banking organizations to mitigate the effects of ASC 326 on their regulatory capital computations. This interim rule is in addition to the three-year transition period under the capital transition rule issued in February 2019. Banking organizations could elect to mitigate the estimated cumulative regulatory capital effects for an additional two years. This rule allowed an institution to defer transitioning the impact of ASC 326 into its regulatory capital calculation, including ratios, over an extended period. Additionally, the interim rule extended the transition period whereby an institution could defer the impact from ASC 326 on the current period, determined based on the difference between the ASC 326 allowance for credit losses and the allowance for loan losses under the incurred loss method from previous GAAP, for up to two years. The total impact related to ASC 326 would then be transitioned into regulatory capital and the associated ratios over a three-year transition period, beginning after the initial two-year deferral period, for a total transition period of five years. The Company elected to opt into the transition election and adopted the transition relief over the permissible five-year period. (18) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIESThe Company had commitments under construction contracts of $1.8 million as of December 31, 2022. The Parent Company and the Billings office of FIB are the anchor tenants in a building owned by an entity in which FIB has a 50.0% ownership interest.The Company leases certain premises and equipment from third parties under operating leases. Total rental expense to third parties was $8.9 million, $4.3 million, and $5.1 million, in 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.The total future minimum rental commitments, exclusive of maintenance and operating costs, required under operating leases that have initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year at December 31, 2022, are as follows:Third PartiesRelated EntityTotalFor the year ending December 31: 2023$ 10.1 $ 1.4 $ 11.5 2024 9.1 1.4 10.5 2025 7.7 1.4 9.1 2026 6.5 0.9 7.4 2027 4.7 0.1 4.8 Thereafter 10.6 — 10.6 Total$ 48.7 $ 5.2 $ 53.9 Residential mortgage loans sold to investors in the secondary market are sold with varying recourse provisions. Essentially all the loan sales agreements require the repurchase of a mortgage loan by the seller in situations such as breach of representation, warranty, or covenant; untimely document delivery; false or misleading statements; failure to obtain certain certificates or insurance; or unmarketability. Certain loan sales agreements contain repurchase requirements based on payment-related defects that are defined in terms of the number of days or months since the purchase, the sequence number of the payment, and/or the number of days of payment delinquency. Based on the specific terms stated in the agreements, the Company had $0.9 million and $0.4 million of sold residential mortgage loans with recourse provisions still in effect as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company did not repurchase a significant amount of loans from secondary market investors under the terms of loan sales agreements during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020. In the opinion of management, the risk of recourse and the subsequent requirement of loan repurchase to the Company is not significant, and accordingly no liabilities have been established related to such. In addition, the Company made various representations and warranties associated with the sale of loans. The Company has not incurred significant losses resulting from these provisions. FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) 118 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) A substantial portion of the Company’s clients’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on the economy in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming. The Company’s loan portfolio is diversified and assigned to risk classifications by industry concentrations and the current economic conditions. These industry concentrations of credit are taken into consideration by management in determining the allowance for credit losses. In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various other claims and litigation. In the opinion of management, following consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate liability or disposition thereof is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company. (19) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its clients. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a client as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to clients. The Company’s policy for obtaining collateral, and determining the nature of such collateral, is essentially the same as in the Company’s policies for making commitments to extend credit. The estimated fair value of the obligation undertaken by the Company in issuing standby letters of credit is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The following table presents our financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, as well as the activity in the allowance for off-balance sheet credit losses related to those financial instruments: Beginning balance Provision for credit loss expense Ending balance of allowance for off-balance sheet credit losses Unused credit card lines Commitments to extend credit Standby letters of credit December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 $ $ 3.8 $ 12.4 16.2 $ 3.7 0.1 3.8 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 $ 827.6 $ 5,173.3 93.8 681.6 2,539.8 57.5 119 (20) INCOME TAXESIncome tax expense consists of the following:Year ended December 31,202220212020Current: Federal$ 45.2 $ 39.4 $ 42.4 State 14.4 11.3 12.3 Total current 59.6 50.7 54.7 Deferred:Federal (3.7) 3.7 (5.7) State (1.0) 1.3 (0.9) Total deferred (4.7) 5.0 (6.6) Total income tax expense$ 54.9 $ 55.7 $ 48.1 Total income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% for the periods presented to income before income taxes due to the following:Year ended December 31,202220212020Tax expense at the statutory tax rate$ 54.0 $ 52.0 $ 44.0 Increase (decrease) in tax resulting from:Tax-exempt income (8.4) (2.8) (2.1) State income tax, net of federal income tax benefit 10.6 9.9 9.0 Deficiency (benefit) of stock-based compensation plans 0.2 (0.5) (0.4) Nondeductible transaction costs 2.0 0.8 — Federal tax credits (4.3) (4.3) (2.3) Other, net 0.8 0.6 (0.1) Tax expense at effective tax rate$ 54.9 $ 55.7 $ 48.1 The tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities that give rise to significant portions of the net deferred tax asset (liability) relate to the following:Deferred tax assets: Loans, principally due to allowance for credit losses$ 54.8 $ 30.7 Loan discount 32.5 1.6 Investment securities, unrealized losses 157.9 4.6 Derivatives, unrealized losses 0.5 — Deferred compensation 26.8 19.3 Non-performing loan interest 2.6 1.0 Other real estate owned write-downs and carrying costs 1.5 — Net operating loss carryforwards (1) 1.5 1.7 Lease liabilities 12.0 8.7 Other reserves 8.8 — Contract incentives 8.5 — Discount on acquired investment securities 13.4 — Other 2.4 3.5 Deferred tax assets$ 323.2 $ 71.1 December 31,20222021FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC.

The use of these carryforwards is subject to annual limitations.The Company had current net income tax receivables of $38.3 million and $16.1 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.(21) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATIONThe Company has equity awards outstanding under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The plan was primarily established to enhance the Company’s ability to attract, retain, and motivate employees. The Company’s Board of Directors or, upon delegation, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors (“Compensation Human Capital Committee”) has exclusive authority to select employees, advisors and others, including directors, to receive awards and to establish the terms and conditions of each award made pursuant to the Company’s stock-based compensation plan.The 2015 Plan, approved by the Company’s shareholders in May 2015, was established to provide the Company with flexibility to select from various equity-based performance compensation methods, and to be able to address changing accounting and tax rules and corporate governance practices by optimally utilizing performance based compensation. At December 31, 2022, there were 361,605 common shares available for future grant under the 2015 Plan. Stock Options. All options granted had an exercise price equal to fair market value, which was defined as the closing sales price for the stock as quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market for the last market trading day preceding the date that the Company’s Board of Directors awards the benefit. Options were subject to vesting as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation and Human Capital Committee, and could be exercised for periods of up to ten years from the date of grant.No stock option awards were granted in 2022 or 2021. All outstanding stock option awards were fully vested as of December 31, 2016. As such, there was no compensation expense or related income tax benefits recognized related to stock option awards in 2022 or 2021. Compensation expense related to stock option awards and the related income tax benefits for the year ended December 31, 2016 were not considered material.FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC.

Common stock issued under the Company’s restricted stock plan may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions have lapsed or performance objectives have been obtained. During the vesting periods, participants have voting rights and receive dividends on all time restricted shares and vesting performance restricted shares. Upon termination of employment, common shares upon which restrictions have not lapsed must be returned to the Company.All restricted share awards are classified as equity awards.

(25) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There is a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows: • Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities • Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities • Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities The methodologies used by the Company in determining the fair values of each class of financial instruments are based primarily on the use of independent, market-based data to reflect a value that would be reasonably expected in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, and therefore are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period. Transfers in and out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 are recognized on the actual transfer date. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Further details on the methods used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments above are discussed below: Investment Debt Securities Available-for-Sale. The Company obtains fair value measurements for investment securities from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the investment’s terms and conditions, among other things. Vendors chosen by the Company are widely recognized vendors whose evaluations support the pricing functions of financial institutions, investment and mutual funds, and portfolio managers. If needed, a broker may be utilized to determine the reported fair value of investment securities. Loans Held for Sale. Fair value measurements for residential real estate loans held for sale are obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include binding contracts or quotes or bids from third party investors as well as loan level pricing adjustments. Loans that are reclassified into loans held for sale from loans held for investment are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell, except for certain loans which are recorded at fair value, determined individually, based on discounted payoffs and quotes or bids from third party investors, or based on the terms of the loans, such as interest rate, maturity date, reset term, as well as sales, quotes, or bids of similar assets. 125 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) Interest Rate Swap Contracts. Fair values for derivative interest rate swap contracts and interest rate collars are based upon the estimated amounts to settle the contracts considering current interest rates and are calculated using discounted cash flows that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data. The inputs used to determine fair value include the three-month LIBOR forward curve to estimate variable rate cash inflows and the federal funds effective swap rate to estimate the discount rate. The estimated variable rate cash inflows are compared to the fixed rate outflows and such difference is discounted to a present value to estimate the fair value of the interest rate swaps. The change in the value of derivative assets attributable to basis risk, or the risk that offsetting investments in a hedging strategy will not experience price changes in entirely opposite directions from each other, was not significant in the reported periods. The Company also obtains and compares the reasonableness of the pricing from an independent third party. For purposes of potential valuation adjustments to our derivative positions, we evaluate the credit risk of our counterparties as well as ours. Accordingly, we have considered factors such as the likelihood of our default and the default of our counterparties, our net exposures and remaining contractual life, among other things, in determining if any fair value adjustments related to credit risk are required. The change in value of derivative assets and derivative liabilities attributable to credit risk was not significant during the reported periods. Interest Rate Lock Commitments. Fair value measurements for interest rate lock commitments are obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include prices available from secondary market investors taking into consideration various characteristics of the loan, including the loan amount, interest rate, value of the servicing, and loan to value ratio, among other things. Observable data is then adjusted to reflect changes in interest rates, the Company’s estimated pull-through rate, and estimated direct costs necessary to complete the commitment into a closed loan net of origination and processing fees collected from the borrower. Forward Loan Sales Contracts. The fair value measurements for forward loan sales contracts are obtained from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that includes sales of similar loans. Deferred Compensation Plan Assets and Liabilities. The fair values of deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities are based primarily on the use of independent, market-based data to reflect a value that would be reasonably expected in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. These investments are in the same funds and purchased in the same amounts as the participants’ selected investments, which represent the underlying liabilities to plan participants. Deferred compensation plan liabilities are recorded at amounts due to participants, based on the fair value of participants’ selected investments. 126 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC.

Collateral-dependent loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from collateral. The collateral-dependent loans are reported at fair value through specific valuation allowance allocations. In addition, when it is determined that the fair value of a collateral-dependent loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the carrying value of the loan is adjusted to fair value through a charge to the allowance for credit losses. Collateral values are estimated using independent appraisals and management estimates of current market conditions. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had collateral-dependent loans with a carrying and fair value of $39.1 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had collateral-dependent loans with a carrying and fair value of $11.7 million.OREO. The fair values of OREO are estimated using independent appraisals and management estimates of current market conditions. Upon initial recognition, write-downs based on the foreclosed asset’s fair value at foreclosure are reported through charges to the allowance for credit losses. Periodically, the fair value of foreclosed assets is remeasured with any subsequent write-downs charged to OREO expense in the period in which they are identified. Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of by Sale. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. The fair values of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are based upon observable market data and management estimates of current market conditions. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale with carrying values of $5.7 million, reduced by write-downs of $0.2 million charged to other expense, and fair values aggregating $5.5 million. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale with carrying and fair values aggregating $1.3 million, with no write-downs charged to other expense.The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair values:As of December 31, 2022Fair ValueValuation TechniqueUnobservable InputsRange (Weighted Average)Collateral-dependent loans$ 39.1 AppraisalAppraisal adjustment0%-45%(7%)Other real estate owned 12.7 AppraisalAppraisal adjustment15-36(22)Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale 5.5 AppraisalAppraisal adjustment0-6(3)As of December 31, 2021Collateral-dependent loans$ 11.7 AppraisalAppraisal adjustment1%-18%(7%)FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate fair value. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of other financial instruments are discussed below. For financial instruments bearing a variable interest rate where no credit risk exists, it is presumed that recorded book values are reasonable estimates of fair value. Financial Assets. Carrying values of cash, cash equivalents, and accrued interest receivable approximate fair values due to the liquid and/or short-term nature of these instruments. Fair values for investment securities held-to-maturity are obtained from an independent pricing service, which considers observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the investment’s terms and conditions, among other things. Fair values of fixed rate loans and variable rate loans that reprice on an infrequent basis are estimated using an exit price by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality using an exit price notion. Carrying values of variable rate loans that reprice frequently, and with no change in credit risk, approximate the fair values of these instruments. Financial Liabilities. The fair values of demand deposits, savings accounts, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and accrued interest payable are the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit are estimated using external market rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. The fair values of derivative liabilities are obtained from an independent pricing service, which considers observable data that may include the three-month LIBOR forward curve, the federal funds effective swap rate and cash flows, among other things. The carrying values of the interest-bearing demand notes to the United States Treasury are deemed an approximation of fair values due to the frequent repayment and repricing at market rates. The fixed and floating rate subordinated debentures, floating rate subordinated term loan, notes payable to the FHLB, fixed rate subordinated term debt, and capital lease obligation are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates for advances with similar characteristics. Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit. The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, is not significant. 129 The estimated fair values of financial instruments that are reported in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value, are as follows:`Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date UsingAs of December 31, 2022Carrying AmountEstimatedFair ValueQuoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)SignificantUnobservableInputs(Level 3)Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents$ 870.5 $ 870.5 $ 870.5 $ — $ — Investment debt securities available-for-sale 6,946.1 6,946.1 — 6,946.1 — Investment debt securities held-to-maturity 3,451.8 3,052.2 — 3,052.2 — Accrued interest receivable 118.3 118.3 — 118.3 — Mortgage servicing rights, net 31.1 37.4 — 37.4 — Loans held for sale 79.9 79.9 — 79.9 — Net loans held for investment 17,879.1 17,552.1 — 17,513.0 39.1 Derivative assets 45.2 45.2 — 45.2 — Deferred compensation plan assets 18.7 18.7 — 18.7 — Total financial assets$ 29,440.7 $ 28,720.4 $ 870.5 $ 27,810.8 $ 39.1 Financial liabilities:Total deposits, excluding time deposits$ 23,145.2 $ 23,145.2 $ 23,145.2 $ — $ — Time deposits 1,928.4 1,876.1 — 1,876.1 — Securities sold under repurchase agreements 1,052.9 1,052.9 — 1,052.9 — Other borrowed funds 2,327.0 2,327.0 — 2,327.0 — Accrued interest payable 14.5 14.5 — 14.5 — Long-term debt 120.8 116.3 — 116.3 — Subordinated debentures held by subsidiary trusts 163.1 155.8 — 155.8 — Derivative liabilities 159.6 159.6 — 159.6 — Deferred compensation plan liabilities 18.7 18.7 — 18.7 — Total financial liabilities$ 28,930.2 $ 28,866.1 $ 23,145.2 $ 5,720.9 $ — FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) (27) RECENT AUTHORITATIVE ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Accounting.” In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, which provides temporary exceptions that are optional for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks. For transactions that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance (i) modifications of loan agreements should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate, with such modification considered to be "minor" so that any existing unamortized origination fees/costs will carry forward and continue to be amortized and (ii) modifications of lease agreements should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing agreement with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required for modifications will not be accounted for as separate contracts. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2020-04 for contract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic within the Codification, the amendments in this ASU must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. The Company adopted certain elections related to cash flow hedges which did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Based upon the amendments provided in ASU 2022-06 discussed below, ASU 2020-04 can generally be applied through December 31, 2024. ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)” In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform Topic 848, that clarifies certain exceptions that are optional in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting and apply those exceptions to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this ASU on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or on a prospective basis to new modifications from any date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to the date of the issuance of a final ASU. If an entity elects to apply any of the amendments in this ASU for an eligible hedging relationship, any adjustments as a result of those elections must be reflected as of the date the entity applies the election. The amendments in this ASU do not apply to contract modifications made, new hedging relationships entered into, or existing hedging relationships evaluated for effectiveness in periods after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that apply certain exceptions that are optional in which the accounting effects of the hedging activity are recorded through the end of the hedging relationship (including periods after December 31, 2022). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard and does not anticipate it will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers” In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations Topic 805, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, to address diversity in practice and inconsistency related to the accounting for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. The amendments require that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. The amendments also provide certain practical expedients for acquirers when recognizing and measuring acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination and applies to contract assets and contract liabilities from other contracts to which the provisions of Topic 606 apply. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the amendments prospectively to business combinations that occur after the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard and does not anticipate it will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. 132 FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in millions, except share and per share data) ASU 2022-01, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method” In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging Topic 815, Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method that clarifies the accounting for and promotes consistency in the reporting of hedge basis adjustments applicable to both a single hedged layer and multiple hedged layers. The amendments allow nonprepayable financial assets also to be included in a closed portfolio hedged using the portfolio layer method. That expanded scope permits an entity to apply the same portfolio hedging method to both prepayable and nonprepayable financial assets, thereby allowing consistent accounting for similar hedges. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the amendments prospectively to business combinations that occur after the effective date. Early adoption in an interim period is permitted for public business entities, with the effect of adopting the amendments related to basis adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard and does not anticipate it will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) and Vintage Disclosures that eliminate the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs, an entity must apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendment also requires an entity disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the amendments prospectively except for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. Early adoption of the amendments are permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. An entity may elect to early adopt the amendments about TDRs and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to vintage disclosures. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the standard and does not anticipate it will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. ASU 2022-06, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848” In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 that extends the period of time preparers can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance provided by ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01, which are discussed above. ASU 2022-06, which was effective upon issuance, defers the sunset date of this prior guidance from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief guidance in Topic 848. The adoption of ASU 2022-06 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
