Just af ci there is a distinct advantage in partnering "'•*'^ a solid, community-based financial instituti^ that offers a far-reaching array of integrated banking, insurance, investment and wealth management services. For the individual or company thinking about establishing or expanding a relationship with a strong financial partner, now is the right time... and Peoples Bancorp is the right place. Peoples Bancorp The right time. The right place. Dear Shareholder, The year 2007 was a challenging time for the financial services industry The news continues to flow from a vanety of sources, from the meltdown in the mortgage industry, to uncertainty about loan quality, to threats of an economic recession, to wnte-downs in values of assets and investments, to rapid changes in Interest rates, etc. As a result, generally earnings dropped, financial services stock prices tumbled, opportunities for revenue growth became hard to find, and the regulatory burden intensified. While Peoples Bancorp successfully avoided many of the issues that negatively impacted our industry we were unable to avoid all of them. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Peoples Bancorp earned net income of $18.3 million or $1.74 per share, compared to $21.6 million and $2.01 per share in 2006. Despite solid earnings from normal operations In 2007, net income was negatively impacted by other-than-temporary impairment charges to certain investment securities that reduced after-tax earnings by $4.0 million. The lower market values of these Investments, which include Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred stocks, caused write-downs due to increased nsks within the broader credit market and erratic market liquidity. These events and the related charges overshadowed the favorable resolution of a tax dispute with the State of Ohio regarding state tax filings going back to 2001. The resolution of the tax issues caused a $508,000 after tax reduction to our franchise taxes and therefore positively impacted earnings. We are pleased to report the state's audit has been concluded. Although Peoples Bancorp's earnings were lower than expected, we continued to move forward on key strategic action items that enhance our ability to succeed in the long-term. I will touch on key action items later, but first I would like to take a deeper look at our financial results, which were fundamentally solid despite the non-cash write-downs In market values of some Investments. We experienced success from customer-driven strategies Implemented to grow revenues. Both net interest income and non-interest income expanded in 2007, as those revenues increased $1.7 million, D i v i d e n ds p er S h a re $0 88 while operating expenses only grew by $150,000. Peoples Bancorp also grew dividends by 6% and repurchased 464,000 shares of our stock $0.83 throughout the year. We are proud to say that our record of Increasing dividends now stands at 42 consecutive years. With all of the turmoil In the financial services industry It Is important that $0.78 shareholders recognize the strength of our capital and improvement in our tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, which was 7.30% at year-end 2007 compared to 7.15% at year-end 2006. Your company remains well capitalized. Despite good loan growth late in the year, total loan balances for the year were down slightly from year-end 2006, due primanly to significant commercial loan payoffs. Our strategies for 2008 focus on new approaches to small business lending and how we serve that important segment of our business, which should lead to quality loan growth in the long-term. ^CJ9 »C>^ '^^ "Personalized delivery of service and attention to detail, combined with our comprehensive offering of financial services, creates our unique competitive advantage." One significant area of concern for the financial services industry and the market in general Is loan quality. We believe the fundamental quality on which our loan portfolio was built is a strength of Peoples Bancorp when compared to peers. At December 31,2007, nonperforming loans comprised 0.83% of total loans, while our loan loss reserve grew $1.2 mililon in 2007 and now stands at 1.40% of total loans. Our strategy for 2008 focuses on loan "quality" vs. "quantity." I am pleased to report that net interest margin improved in 2007, up from 3.29% in 2006 to 3.32% for the full year of 2007, Recent interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve should have a positive Impact on our net interest margin, and we began to see that impact In the fourth quarter of 2007 when quarterly net Interest margin improved to 3.40%. However, the speed and depth of the interest rate cuts could also have a negative impact on net interest margin in 2008 as investment securities are called and loans reprice lower and faster than deposits. We are cautiously optimistic that net interest margin and net interest income will show improvement In 2008, but market conditions make the amount and timing of these estimates difficult to forecast. To mitigate the impact of the unpredictability of interest rates, we have diversified and grown other revenue sources. In 2007, non-interest revenue grew $1 million over last year, and comprised 37% of our total revenues in 2007. Most of our growth came from additional debit card Income and especially stellar performance by our Peoples Financial Advisors group, which grew revenues 17% compared to 2006, due mostly to growth from new client relationships and further penetration of our client base. Our strategy is to create an integrated sales and service offering that adds more clients in our markets, allowing us to use those profits to plow into markets where expansion makes sense. We do this through energized people dedicated to serving others, combined with technology designed to enhance the client relationship. We continue efforts to gain more business In our markets, especially from our current customer base, while we make additional investments In communities where stronger growth prospects are more promising. In the fourth quarter of 2007, we expanded in Huntington, West Virginia, with a new office at the corner of First Street and Fifth Avenue. The full-service office offers an ATM and motor banking facilities. The new Huntington location adds convenience for our existing Huntington area customers. It also gives us the opportunity to reach many new clients with our full-service offenng of banking, insurance, investment and wealth management services, as sales and sen/ice associates with our Peoples Financial Advisors and Putnam Agency are located in the same place. The office provides clients with comprehensive solutions to financial needs, all In one location. In 2008, our expansion efforts will focus on markets such as Fairfield and Muskingum Counties in Ohio. We intend to continue analyzing all the markets we serve to determine the optimal use of our resources, and to concentrate on growth in expanding markets while maximizing efficiency in slower or no growth markets. We have realigned our leadership team with our strategic plan that focuses on client relationship-based sales and service - instead of specific product sales. Our core values are highlighted by our involvement and investments in our communities, which supporf the vitality of our markets. Personalized delivery of sen/ice and attention to detail, combined with our comprehensive offenng of financial services, creates our unique competitive advantage. In the financial services industry, capital is again important, consistency is a good thing, and steady earnings growth is the goal. We will be poised for acquisition opportunities and disciplined In our approach. Our family of companies, as seen below, focuses on sen/ing customers through a relationship-based approach, providing diversified financial solutions from wealth management to insurance to banking, making good loans, and "weathering the storm" against unpredictable market conditions. Now more than ever, the commitment we have made to our strategic initiatives is vital to our ability to deliver sustainable, long-term growth in earnings and dividends. Thank you for the confidence and support you have shown. We will continue to earn that support every day as we position Peoples Bancorp for 2008 and beyond.

The same energy and concern make us outstanding contributors of our time and talents to the communities we serve. In 2007, Peoples associates volunteered more than 50,000 hours to charities, civic events and other worthwhile causes in communities served by our offices. Peoples is a major local sponsor of many of these projects, such as... • The Paramount Woman's Association Annual Great Bowls of Fire Chillfest a regional International Chili Society sanctioned cook-off; • Relay for Life, an upbeat annual event that celebrates survivorship and raises funds for research and programs for the local chapter of the American Cancer Society; and • The Annual Wheelchair Basketball Game, a fundraiser for various charities in partnership with a local hospital's rehabilitation center. And there are many other volunteer activities - from involvement in the American Heart Association Heart Walk, the March of Dimes, and the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk campaigns.. .to sponsoring Coats for Kids and Toys for Tots.. .to coaching youth league clubs and working countless hours in area schools. As a financial services company we invest more than $600,000 in our communities. But our associates go well beyond that. We enrich our communities with a spirit of generous self-giving that money can't buy A gem of a story... DOING THE RIGHT THING Community Member, Twenty-seven years ago, following the death of her husband Charles, Iva Haubiel of Baltimore, Ohio, thought that she removed all of the contents of the safe deposit box they had rented at the local bank, returned the keys and closed the account. Peoples acquired that local bank branch in 1996, and until a few months ago the safe deposit box had gone unrented. The safe deposit box was being examined prior to being rented and a small box, tucked away in the corner, was found. The box contained several pieces of precious jewelry including a locket with a child's photo, and a wedding ring engraved with the date of February 26,1927. There was no telling to whom these items belonged, since there were no records of the previous bank's safe deposit box renters. Selling the jewelry as unclaimed property and sending proceeds of the sale to the State of Ohio would have been the normal business procedure. However, there was nothing normal about this discovery and Peoples associates were Photo courtesy of The Marietta Times Photographer Mitch Casey determined to find the rightful owner of these heirlooms. Peoples hired a private investigator and through a search of probate records were able to locate Ms. Haubiel, now a vibrant 100 years young. Peoples joyfully reunited her with the heirlooms she had cherished and thought were lost, including the ring she had given her late husband as an anniversary gift. This story illustrates the willingness and ability of our associates to think "outside the box." But more than that, it explains the essence of our core values...that doing the right thing makes a significant difference in people's lives or can simply make someone's day a little bit brighter. OUR CORE VALUES Peoples Bancorp's enviable growth has been steady with each corporate component enhancing and extending the full blend of financial services needed by our customers. Our growth is a clear reflection of our core values: CLIENTS AS A FOCUS • COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITIES BUSINESS WITH INTEGRITY • TRUST AMONG CLIENTS, COMMUNITIES AND ASSOCIATES CONTINUOUS WILL TO WIN • DEVELOPMENT OF ASSOCIATE SKILLS The right time. The right place. Peoples Bancorp Inc. Directors Peoples Bancorp Inc. Officers Peoples Bank Directors DAVE M.ARCHER Presidem Pioneer Pipe, Inc. LARRY J. ARMSTRONG Retired Armstrong and Smith, C.P.A.
