Forward-Looking Information

This earnings release includes "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, often accompanied by words such as "may," "might," "could," "anticipate," "expect," and similar terms, are based on management's current expectations and assumptions regarding future events or determinations, all of which are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees, nor should they be relied upon as representing management's views as of any subsequent date. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those presented. Although the following list is not comprehensive, important factors that may cause material differences include:

• The quality and composition of our loan and securities portfolios and the quality and composition of our deposits;
• The effects of newly enacted regulations affecting us and the banking industry, as well as changes and uncertainties in applicable laws, and fiscal, monetary, regulatory, trade, and tax policies, and actions taken by governments, agencies, central banks, and similar organizations, including those that result in decreases in revenue; increases in bank fees, insurance assessments and capital standards; and other regulatory requirements;
• Protracted congressional negotiations and political stalemates regarding government funding and other issues, including those that increase the possibility of government shutdowns, downgrades in U.S. credit ratings, or other economic disruptions;
• Changes in general industry, political and economic conditions, including continued elevated inflation, economic slowdown or recession, or other economic challenges; changes in interest and reference rates which could adversely affect our revenue and expenses, the value of assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital and liquidity; deterioration in economic conditions that may result in increased loan and leases losses;
• Securities and capital markets behavior, including volatility and changes in market liquidity and our ability to raise capital;
• The impact of bank closures or adverse developments at other banks on general investor sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks;
• The possibility that our recorded goodwill could become impaired, which may have an adverse impact on our earnings and shareholders' equity, but not on our regulatory capital.
• Competitive pressures and other factors that may affect aspects of our business, such as pricing and demand for our products and services, our ability to recruit and retain talent, and the impact of technological advancements, digital commerce, artificial intelligence, and other innovations affecting the banking industry;
• Our ability to complete projects and initiatives and execute on our strategic plans, manage our risks, control compensation and other expenses, and achieve our business objectives;
• Our ability to provide adequate oversight of our suppliers or prevent inadequate performance by third parties upon whom we rely for the delivery of various products and services;
• Our ability to develop and maintain technology, information security systems and controls designed to guard against fraud, cybersecurity, and privacy risks;
• Adverse media and other expressions of negative public opinion whether directed at us, other banks, the banking industry, or otherwise that may adversely affect our reputation and that of the banking industry generally;
• The effects of wars and geopolitical conflicts, such as the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the escalating war in the Middle East, and other local, national, or international disasters, crises, or conflicts that may occur in the future;
• Natural disasters, pandemics, catastrophic events and other emergencies and incidents that may impact our and our customer's operations and business and communities; and
• Governmental and social responses to environmental, social, and governance issues, including those with respect to climate change.

Factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements, industry trends, and results or regulatory outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements are discussed in our 2022 Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and are available on our website (www.zionsbancorporation.com) and from the SEC (www.sec.gov).

We caution against the undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our views only as of the date they are made. Except to the extent required by law, we specifically disclaim any obligation to update any factors or to publicly announce the revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.
