To Our Shareholders

A

             s we reflect on the previous year, we are proud to say that even through the  
               fluctuation of economic conditions, your bank remained consistent and true to
                   its mission of serving our customers and communities first. Our dedication 
to supporting local businesses and reinvesting in those economies was a key element of 
our success. We often remind ourselves of Wilson Bank & Trust’s humble beginnings, 
rooted in the shared belief that banking could mean more than checking accounts and 
loans. We are a business built  
on purpose, not products.

Continual investment in 
technology is always a priority for 
the bank but our ability to connect 
competitive banking products 
with personalized service for our 
customers is what sets us apart. It 
is our belief that community banks 
like ours continue to persist and 
thrive because of our people and 
their attention to service standards. 
Key elements of banking like 
compassion and perspective are 
human touches which cannot be 
replaced by technology. We strive 
to ensure that our customers have 
access to innovative products and 
services without losing sight of 
the value of relationships, which 
leads to established trust within 
our communities. Simply put, 
community banks do something 
technology cannot – relate.

In celebration of our 35th 
year of service, we kicked off the 
year by formalizing our employee-
led initiative, the We Believe 
Together program. The mission of 
this program is to ensure that our 
employees feel empowered and 
encouraged to be involved with 
local organizations of their choosing. 
In celebration of our anniversary, 
employees from nine counties came 
together in partnership with Habitat 
for Humanity of Wilson County to 
build a bank-sponsored home for  
a local resident.

In May, we announced the 
official grand opening of Encompass 
Home Lending. This newly formed 
entity in partnership between Wilson 
Bank & Trust and local residential 
home builders, Celebration Homes 
and Willow Branch Homes, offers 
home loans to over 27 residential 
communities across Middle 
Tennessee.  

  We were pleased to see 
signature bank events like the 
Southern Home & Garden 
Expo, local fair participation and 
Oktoberfest return to pre-pandemic 
norms. Each event brought record 
breaking attendance and above all, 
gave us the opportunity to spend 
quality time with teammates and 
customers from all of our markets. 
Another highlight of 2022 was 
being named a Top Workplace by 
the Tennessean. This honor just 
further solidified what we already 
believe, our bank is led by the best 
workforce in banking and beyond. 
With the continued growth of our 
employees in mind, we doubled 
down on our commitment to 
professional development by 
allocating more resources to nurture 
and cultivate the talent within our 
teams and allow space to build 
a career with WBT. Our people 
worked diligently throughout 
the year to identify and create 
efficiencies in an effort to enhance 
our customer experience and ease of 
doing business. In addition, several 
operational teams joined forces 
to refine many of our products 
ensuring that our services continue 
to meet the needs of our customers. 
  Growth into other markets 
within our state has always been part 
of the bank’s future plans but we 
know timing and finding the right 
people to lead those efforts is critical 
in deciding to take the leap. In 
2022, the leadership of the bank was 
presented with the opportunity to 
enter the Chattanooga market with 
a seasoned group of local bankers in 
a position to lead a loan production 
office focused on commercial 
banking. These three veteran 
bankers come to WBT with decades 

of banking experience and we are 
confident in their ability to lead our 
growth efforts in this market.
  While we know some economic 
challenges lie ahead, we are 
optimistic about the days and years 
to come for WBT. Together, we 
will work to show our customers 
and shareholders that we are here 
for you even when times are tough. 
It’s our intent to continue to step 
forward in advancing and enriching 
the communities in which we live, 
work and play. Community banking 
means shared perspective because we 
travel the same roads you do, have 
known you for years, and appreciate 
all you’re trying to accomplish at 
every stage of life. Thank you for 
allowing us the opportunity to serve 
you for the last 35 years and we look 
forward to many more to come.

Sincerely.

Cleaning Up

Mitchell Brothers Partner With  
WBT to Sustain a Business Where  
‘All are Welcome’.

You’ll never see people 
from so many different 
walks of life chitchatting 
about the things coming to 
Lebanon. It really made me 
realize this was so much 
bigger than just business.

Wade Mitchell

PARTNER, QUIK WASH

and his wife, Camille, 
moved to Louisville, 

WhenWade Mitchell 

Kentucky, in 2014, they left one very 
important thing at home in Lebanon – 
their banking. While they knew they would 
eventually move back home to Wilson 
County, the decision to keep their accounts 
with Wilson Bank & Trust (WBT) stems 
primarily from the Mitchell family’s deeply 
rooted relationship with the bank. 

“We had no interest in ever leaving 
Wilson Bank,” Wade explained. “We have 
so many relationships and connections 
with the bank. The people we’ve grown up 
with work there now, and Lebanon is so 
near and dear to our hearts.” 
  Wade felt that, by continuing to bank 
with WBT, he could continue to support 
his hometown, even if he was nearly 200 
miles away. For him, it is not just a financial 
institution – it is a part of his upbringing.

Since he was born, Wade, along with 
his brother Cale, and his cousins Griffin, 
Ford, and Owen, have all received the 
same gift from their grandfather, Bobby 
Griffin – Wilson Bank shares. Whether 
it’s a wedding or a birth, Christmas or a 
birthday, Grandad is steadfast in his choice 
of gift. It’s never excessive – just enough 

to express his affection while teaching his 
grandchildren about the stock market. 
As Wilson County natives, the 
Mitchell family knew the bank’s founders 
personally. When Wilson Bank made 
its first stock offering in 1987, Grandad 
purchased shares, as did Dorie and Tim 
Mitchell, Wade and Cale’s parents. 
“We always thought it would be 

a worthwhile investment because of 
the local tie. I knew the people. I had 
relationships with them. I felt good 
about the decision makers running the 
bank,” Dorie explained. “I’ve always been 
very community-minded, so I felt very 
connected because of its community focus.”
To say she’s community-minded 

is a bit of an understatement. In 2001, 
Dorie was selected for Leadership Wilson, 
a community leadership development 
program that serves to identify, train, and 
motivate individual citizens in community 
leadership. She has been the program’s 
Executive Director since 2007. Dorie 
is also a licensed Realtor. She and her 
business partner DeAnna Dodd own 
Dorie and DeAnna Demo and Design, 
a home purchasing and restoration 
company. WBT has been an important 
partner in their endeavors.

“I can’t imagine doing this  
through another bank.”

  When Wade and Cale, along 
with their wives Camille and 
Caroline, started to flex their own 
entrepreneurial muscles, they too 
turned to WBT. “Wilson Bank & 
Trust is all we’ve ever known. Our 
entire family uses it, always have,” said 
Cale. The ability to work with people 
that knew their family has helped 
make it happen.  
  Wade got the idea of opening a 
laundromat while living in Louisville. 
He learned that laundromats are 
essential to the communities in which 
they operate. So, when he moved 
back to Lebanon, he teamed up with 
Cale and looked around for a laundry 
business to purchase. He got to know 

the owner of Quik Wash, and soon 
after, the owner was in a position  
to sell it.

After buying the laundromat, the 

brothers quickly recognized that the 
laundry business is about connecting 
with others in a safe and welcoming 
space. This became apparent to 
Wade one day when he overheard 
a conversation at Quik Wash. A 
prominent business owner, an 
electrician, and a neighbor who had 
fallen on hard times were all engaging 
in a meaningful discussion about 
Lebanon’s growth – as equals.

“You’ll never see people from 
so many different walks of life chit-
chatting about the things coming to 

Lebanon,” Wade said. “It really made 
me realize this was so much bigger 
than just a business.”
  Wade, Cale, Camille, and 
Caroline are committed to ensuring 
Quik Wash remains a safe, 
comfortable place where all are 
welcome, and they do it, not only 
with the help of WBT, but their 
entire family, as well. “We come 
from a family that works hard,” said 
Cale. “We taught ourselves how 
to do repairs and are fortunate to 
have relationships with local experts 
to help with larger projects. We’ve 
learned a lot since becoming business 
owners. It has made us adaptable.” 
Every member of the Mitchell clan 
lends a hand, whether it is cleaning, 
maintaining, and repairing equipment, 
managing the bulk laundry drop-off 
service, or helping look after Wade’s 
three young children. Tim can 
be found at the laundromat every 
evening and on weekends. As they say, 
it takes a village, and in this case, that 
village includes WBT.  

“We knew having WBT as a 

partner in building this business 
would add strength to it from the local 
perspective,” Wade said. “While doing 
business in the bank, the customer 
service has been fantastic. It’s been 
great to see their level of commitment. 
It’s always, ‘How are you guys doing? 
Anything we can do? Has everything 
worked out?’ I can’t imagine doing this 
through another bank.”

As with any small business, Wade 
and Cale experience a great deal of ups 
and downs, challenges and successes, 
but they and their family members are 
fueled by the positive impact that this 
business has made on the community 
they love.

Connect Through 
Compassion 

Comfort Connections, a Williamson 
County based non-profit organization, is 
on a mission to connect therapy comfort 
dogs with individuals working to heal after 
dealing with traumatic experiences. Jeanene 
Hupy, its founder, was inspired to establish 
this organization after working with students 
impacted by the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook 
Elementary. It was in this moment, Hupy was 
inspired to create a non-profit organization 
on a mission to provide a new approach to 
compassion and comfort to those in need.
“In the aftermath of a tragedy, often 
times students and adults do not possess the 
skillset needed to continue comforting one 
another after support organizations have 
moved on to the next crisis,” said Jeanene 
Hupy. “Our goal at Comfort Connections 
is to help individuals re-learn the skill of 
comfort. Some of the greatest instructors of 
compassion and comfort are dogs. It’s no 
secret that dogs have been used as therapy 
comfort animals for years. Studies have 
shown that simply petting a dog has tangible 

evidence to reduce high blood pressure, 
reduce stress, increase socialization skills, and 
improve self-esteem. Dogs are accepting, with 
no criticism, and they truly enjoy interacting 
with people. Animals can sometimes 
understand and fill a need in ways that 
humans cannot.”

As a part of the bank’s “We Believe 
Together” initiative, the Cool Spring office 
partnered with Comfort Connections to help 
bring awareness to this organization and its 
powerful mission. Throughout the year, WBT 
and Comfort Connections worked together 
to provide opportunities to cultivate a culture 
of acceptance, inclusion, and comfort within 
their community. From visits to the local 
county fair, to “Hot Dog Day” and “Howl-
O-Ween”, these two teams found various 
opportunities to spread awareness about this 
incredible cause. Throughout the year, the 
comfort dogs made visits to the Cool Springs 
office to spread happiness, comfort, and care 
through love and acceptance.

WBT’s Commitment to 
Preventing Cybercrime

“It’s important that our customers understand the level 
of sophistication these cybercriminals have when gaining 
access to personal information. It only takes one moment of 
vulnerability to have a significant financial impact. We help 
educate our customers and mitigate risk on their behalf.” 

Elvis Huff

VICE PRESIDENT -  
INFORMATION SECURITY DIRECTOR

Cybercrime by 
the Numbers*

$6.9B

Around $6.9 Billion was lost in the  
United States in 2022 due to cybercrime. 

Technology adds so much 
convenience to our lives on a daily 
basis and we often take it for granted. 
While the banking industry has seen a 
number of technology advances making 
our lives more convenient, some of 
these advancements have also given 
cyber criminals more outlets than ever 
before to deceive and steal personal 
information from consumers. In order 
to better protect our customers from 
fraud and help mitigate breaches, 
Wilson Bank & Trust has assembled 
an experienced team of professionals 
specifically dedicated to working 
around the clock to protect the bank 
and its customers from fraud, scams, 
and other cybercrimes. 
  The WBT Security team consists 
of four full-time fraud specialists 
including two Fraud Investigators and 
two Fraud Analysts. In 2022, the WBT 
Security team worked over 750 fraud 
cases which prevented an estimated $8 
million in potential customer losses. 
Over 43% of these cases involved a 
check (either cashed or deposited). The 
largest channel for customer exposure 
is currently wire fraud. Wire fraud 
accounted for more than $6.5 million 
in potential customer losses in 2022 
that we were able to avoid due to the 
processes and procedures we have put 
in place to combat cybercrime.

Two WBT Customer Fraud 
Prevention Examples:

#1: Wilson Bank & Trust received 
notification of multiple counterfeit 
checks attempting to clear the business 
checking account. Due to the quick 
action of the WBT Security team, they 
were able to prevent the checks from 
clearing the account. In response, the 
WBT Security team and the WBT 
Treasury Management Department 
worked together to setup a new service 
to help prevent fraud—the Positive 
Pay Service. Since the inception of this 
service, nearly 60 fraudulent checks 
have been stopped worth approximately 
$245,000. No WBT customer has 
experienced loss at this time through 
the Positive Pay Service. 

#2: The Security team was reviewing an 
alert from a wire transfer that was being 
sent through a well-established business 
customer. After further investigation, 
the team established the request was 
fraudulent and contacted the business, 
discovering that an email had been 
compromised when wire instructions 
were sent. We were able to avoid 
customer loses and recover the funds 
due to processes and procedures we put 
in place to combat cybercrime.

TOP 3 SCAMS 
(NATION-WIDE): 

1. Business email compromise 
2. Investment scams 
3. Romance scams 

Losses of  
$12.6M  

There were 144 victims of business 
email scams in Davidson, Rutherford, 
Sumner, Williamson, and Wilson 
Counties in 2022. The total losses 
amounted to $12.6 million. 

Scams on the rise  
from 2022: 

•  Remote Access 
•  Romance Scams 
•  Wire Fraud 
•  Cryptocurrency Scam 
•  Postage Theft

*According to the 2021 FBI IC3 Report 
 
 
 
  One of the components for 
future growth for Wilson Bank & 
Trust has always been expansion 
into other markets within our 
state but timing and hiring the 
right people are key factors any 
time we consider taking the next 
step. With recent disruption 
in the banking industry related 
to mergers and acquisitions 
and an increase in availability 
of quality bankers looking to 
continue their careers with local 
institutions, 2022 provided the 
bank an opportunity to enter 
the Chattanooga market with a 
commercial lending presence. 

Kathryn Gann, Ami Ingle and 

Alise O’Brien are three veteran 
Chattanooga bankers who joined 
the WBT team to represent our 

brand in this new market. With 
nearly 20 years of experience in 
the banking industry, Kathryn 
Gann was hired as Vice President 
and Commercial Lender. Gann 
moved to Chattanooga more 
than 10 years ago and resides in 
Georgetown with her husband. 
Joining her, Ami Ingle will serve as 
Assistant Vice President and Small 
Business Lender. Ingle brings more 
than 15 years of experience in 
the banking industry, serving in 
various roles including bank teller, 
treasury sales and lending. She 
attended Chattanooga State and 
currently resides in Chattanooga. 
Lastly, Alise O’Brien rounds out 
the team as the Portfolio Manager. 
O’Brien has more than 25 years 
working in the banking industry 

and has served as a commercial 
lending assistant for 20 of those 
years. She is a graduate of UT 
Chattanooga and resides with 
her husband and daughter in 
Chattanooga. 

“We’ve worked with an 
expanding list of loan clients in 
Hamilton County for many years, 
and it was clear that our brand 
would be a great fit to expand 
into Chattanooga when the 
right opportunity came along,” 
CEO John McDearman said. 
“We’re excited not only to start 
serving new loan customers and 
building new relationships, but 
also to get involved and make a 
real difference in the community, 
which is a big part of our mission 
anytime we grow.”

Chattanooga

Why 
Chattanooga? 
We believe Chattanooga is a solid growth  
market in the state that continues to see 
increases in population due to the healthy  
economic and business climate. In addition,  
most of the major banking competitors in 
Chattanooga are banks we already compete  
with in other markets, so we like our  
chances of seeing success in  
this market.

Telling the story behind your passions, you can 
leave a true sense of yourself that allows your 
family to better value and understand you.

Everyone leaves behind a 

unique legacy. For some, it’s 
meaningful to pass down 

something tangible – an item or heirloom. 
For other people, contributing to a cause 
that’s close to their heart is what matters 
most. Regardless of your priorities, sharing 
your life’s passions with your loved ones 
is one of the finest ways to create a legacy 
that lives on.

Igniting that Spark of 
Connection
  Our lives are complex and 
multilayered. Connect the dots with 
those you cherish by sharing the many 
aspects that make you who you are – 
your professional life, creative side, civic 
contributions, values and family history.
Passing on a meaningful legacy 

improves your family ties across 
generations. Your children and 
grandchildren undoubtedly want to feel 
a spark of connection with you and your 
life experiences, so take the opportunity 
today to share your interests with those 
close to you. In telling the story behind 
your passions, you can leave a true sense of 
yourself that allows your family to better 
value and understand you.

Your Legacy Starts Today

Imparting your passions requires some 
thought and planning. But, starting today, 
you can leave your mark.

Your passions may run the gamut 
– doubles tennis, skiing, fine art, jewelry 
collecting, repairing antique cars and 
so on. Involve your family in the daily 
activities, the quiet moments where you 

explain how a tool works or why you 
enjoy a hard-fought match even if you 
don’t win. Consistently sharing your 
pastimes with your family can positively 
influence how they think about you. 
Your loved ones will come to appreciate 
your pursuits as they experience your 
excitement and passion. This may even 
leave them with a lasting desire to follow 
in your footsteps.

Talking about what matters to you 
most likely comes naturally because it’s 
incorporated into your everyday life. 
Continue telling people about the things 
that bring you true fulfillment, but also 
consider writing about them and why 
they’re important to you. A memoir or 
written record can be kept, stored and 
passed down through the generations.
To pass down your interests in 
a way that celebrates your life, it will 
take thoughtfulness, creativity and 
organization. The investment will be 
worth it to ensure your legacy is so much 
more than the things you’ll leave behind. 
You have the power to leave people with 
warm memories and a glimpse into your 
life’s true spirit.

Next Steps
•  Share your passions, interests and 
stories with those closest to you.

•  Consider the most important parts  
of your legacy and who you’d like  
to share them with.

•  Speak with your financial advisor  
about how to gift assets that align  
with your legacy.

I firmly believe a critical piece of being a local healthcare 
provider means creating the opportunity for the community 
to receive the same access to cutting edge technology and 
solutions without sacrificing convenience.  

Dr. Jonathan Cornelius
PRESIDENT OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE’S 
HUGHSTON CLINIC ORTHOPEDICS

C O M M E R C I A L   B U S I N E S S   S P O T L I G H T

We’re Independent, Local  
and Right by Your Side.

  Dr. Jonathan Cornelius, current President 
of Middle Tennessee’s Hughston Clinic 
Orthopedics, wasn’t looking to lead a healthcare 
practice when the opportunity came along but 
his innovative approach to surgical practices 
coupled with a trusted network of peers and 
patients, made him the obvious choice to help 
grow the business to what it is today. 

“People shouldn’t need to travel an hour 

or more to have access to quality healthcare 
services,” said Cornelius. “I firmly believe 
a critical piece of being a local healthcare 
provider means creating the opportunity for the 
community to receive the same access to cutting 
edge technology and solutions without sacrificing 
convenience. Interacting with patients who care 
as much about this community as we do allows 
us the opportunity to create more meaningful 
relationships along the way.” 
  Meaningful relationships are exactly what led 
Dr. Cornelius to seek a partnership with Wilson 
Bank & Trust. Like so many local businesses, the 
uncertainty of the pandemic shed new light on 
who was really there for locally operated businesses 
when times got hard. The pandemic brought a 
drastic halt to many healthcare operations, chief 
among those being surgical procedures. 

“Elective surgeries were cancelled, and no 

one knew when surgeons would be allowed 
back into the hospital’s operating rooms,” said 
Cornelius. “Providers were stretched to the limit 
while trying to reassure patients their hopes for 
necessary treatments weren’t lost.”

At the time, Cornelius had a pre-existing 

banking relationship with another financial 

institution and quickly learned the value of 
picking up the phone and knowing someone 
would be on the other end of the line, willing to 
provide solutions. It was his relationships within 
the local business community that helped change 
the narrative of this business from moments of 
doubt to encouragement for the future.

“I met John McDearman when I first came 
to Lebanon and was familiar with Wilson Bank 
& Trust but wasn’t looking to move our banking 
relationship at the time,” said Cornelius. “But 
when I was looking for answers and I needed 
a partner I could rely on to answer the phone 
and find solutions, John was there with options 
which helped bridge the gap of uncertain times 
and get us where we are today. It started with 
one business transaction and led to a full-service 
business banking relationship in the end. He 
introduced me to a team of people at the bank 
who made the transition easy.”

Today, Hughston Clinic Orthopedics 
operates nine offices across Middle Tennessee, 
including 23 physicians and a surgery center in 
its early stages of development.  
  Dr. Cornelius is board certified with the 
American Board of Orthopedic Surgery and was 
the first surgeon in Tennessee to adopt the robotic 
joint replacement of the knee and hip starting 
in 2011. In addition to joint replacement of the 
knee, hip and shoulder, he also treats a variety 
of sports medicine and trauma conditions. He 
is a team sports medicine physician for Wilson 
County Schools and currently operates at 
Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital and  
Summit Hospital.

Wilson Bank Holding Company Reports

RECORD HIGH
NET INCOME
RECORD HIGH
ASSETS

And

A record year in net 
income was the result of 
an overall growing market 
in Middle Tennessee that 
led to record loan growth 
and robust deposit growth 
that resulted in an overall 
increase in net interest 
margin.

Wilson Bank reported record high net income  

of $53.0 million for the year ended December 31, 
2022 compared to $49.4 million for the same 
period in 2021. Diluted earnings per share for  
the twelve month period ended December 31, 
2022 was $4.65 compared to $4.43 for the same 
period in 2021.

  Net interest income before the provision for credit 
losses was $141.4 million for the twelve months ending 
December 31, 2022 compared to $118.2 million for the 
year ended 2021. This increase was the result of a $27.7 
million, or 21.3%, increase in interest income and an 
increase of $4.5 million, or 38.6%, in total interest 
expense. The net interest margin was 3.70% in 2022 as 
compared to 3.44% for 2021. The net interest margin 
was positively impacted by the Federal Reserve’s move 
to increase the federal funds rate from .25% to 4.50% 
during 2022 and record loan growth for the period.
  The 2022 provision for credit losses was $8,656,000, 
an increase of $7,513,000 from the provision in 2021. 
The increase in the provision in 2022 was largely 
attributable to an increase in the volume of loans 
originated during the period.
  Non-interest income for the twelve months ended 
December 31, 2022 was $27.4 million compared to 
$32.9 million for the same period in 2021. Included in 
this decrease is a decrease in fees and gains on sales of 
mortgage loans due to the rising rate environment which 
contributed to weakened demand for purchase money 
mortgage loans and refinancing transactions, offset in 
part by gains in our mortgage hedging activities. Also 
negatively impacting non-interest income in 2022 
was a loss we recognized on the sale of lower yielding 
securities due to management's decision to sell securities 
due to the rising rate environment to restructure a 
portion of the securities portfolio into higher yielding 
securities in an effort to increase net interest margin in 
future periods. These decreases were offset in part by 
an increase in service charges on deposit accounts. We 
also saw an increase in debit and credit card interchange 
income due to an increase in the number and volume 
of debit card and credit card holders and transactions. 
Brokerage income increased due to the opening of new 
investment accounts as well as growth in assets under 
management, which can be attributed to marketing 
efforts and overall population growth of the middle 
Tennessee markets. In addition, the increase in interest 
rates has increased customers' interest in opportunities 
to capitalize on products and services provided.

Balance Sheet

Wilson Bank reported total assets of $4.3 billion at December 31, 
2022 compared to $4.0 billion at December 31, 2021, an increase  
of $296.1 million, or 7.4%.  

At December 31, 2022 securities were $822.8 
million, a decrease of 8.3% from $897.6 million at 
December 31, 2021. The decrease in securities was 
due to an increase in interest rates that caused the fair 
market value of our securities portfolio to decline, 
partially offset by the purchase of new securities.

Loans, net of allowance for credit losses, totaled 

$3.1 billion at December 31, 2022, a $669.5 million, 
or 27.4%, increase compared to December 31, 2021. 
This increase resulted from an overall increase in loan 
demand across all loan segments, primarily driven by a 
robust local housing, construction and commercial real 
estate market.
  The allowance for credit losses increased to $39.8 
million in 2022 compared to $39.6 million in 2021. 
On January 1, 2022, we adopted FASB ASU 2016-13,  

which introduces the current expected credit losses 
(CECL) methodology and requires us to estimate all 
expected credit losses over the remaining life of our 
loan portfolio. This resulted in a downward adjustment 
to the opening balance of the allowance for credit losses 
of $7.6 million, which during 2022 was offset by an 
increased provision expense principally due to loan 
growth. The allowance for credit losses was 1.26% of 
outstanding loans at December 31, 2022.

Total deposits were $3.9 billion at December 31, 
2022 compared to $3.6 billion at December 31, 2021,
representing growth of $337.6 million, or 9.5% 
during 2022. Deposit growth is primarily attributable 
to growth in market share which resulted in the 
opening of new accounts.

As the CFO of WBT, my staff and I strive on a daily basis to live 
out the Bank’s core values which are customer focus, community 
centric, faith, integrity, teamwork and success. One of the many 
ways we measure success is through financial performance 
and the return that we provide to our shareholders. 2022 was 
an exceptional year of maximizing earnings and shareholder 
return as the bank reported its highest net income in its history 
reflecting record loan growth and strong deposit growth from 
deepening existing customer relationships and the expansion 
into new markets.
