diluted common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.

Investar Holding Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer John D’Angelo said:
“The board of directors and management were very pleased with Investar’s fourth quarter results. We experienced
solid organic loan growth of 3.1% during the quarter and have grown loans 11.3% for the year. Deposits grew 5.1% for the quarter
and 11.1% for the year. In the fourth quarter, our investments in people and infrastructure began to take hold as indicated by our
quarterly and year-end results. Investar is positioned for a very constructive 2019 with good momentum going into the new year.
We continue to focus on our shareholders by increasing our dividend by 59% in 2018 and repurchasing 132,484
shares of our common stock. Investar is committed to providing long-term value to our dedicated shareholder base.
In October, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Mainland Bank which will expand our footprint into the
greater Houston area. We are excited to be a regional bank and believe this acquisition complements our strategy of increasing
market share through partnerships with organizations having strong core deposit funding, solid commercial banking and credit
practices, and exemplary customer service. The shareholders of Mainland Bank have approved the acquisition, and we expect to close
the transaction in the first quarter of 2019. As we enter 2019, we continue to focus on quality loans and deposits and improving
our return on assets and efficiency ratios, which will assist in delivering on our commitment of growing the franchise and
increasing shareholder value.”

At December 31, 2018, the Company’s total business lending portfolio, which consists of loans secured by owner-occupied
commercial real estate properties and commercial and industrial loans, was $509.1 million, an increase of $24.4 million, or 5.0%,
compared to the business lending portfolio of $484.7 million at September 30, 2018, and an increase of $101.3 million, or
24.8%, compared to the business lending portfolio of $407.8 million at December 31, 2017. The increase in the business lending
portfolio is mainly attributable to the growth in commercial and industrial loans primarily resulting from increased production of
our new Commercial and Industrial Division.
Consumer loans, including indirect auto loans of $30.8 million, totaled $46.0 million at December 31, 2018,
a decrease of $6.3 million, or 12.1%, compared to $52.3 million, including indirect auto loans of $35.9 million, at
September 30, 2018, and a decrease of $30.4 million, or 39.8%, compared to $76.3 million, including indirect auto loans of
$55.9 million, at December 31, 2017. The decrease in consumer loans is mainly attributable to the scheduled paydowns of this
portfolio and is consistent with our business strategy.
Credit Quality
Nonperforming loans were $5.9 million, or 0.42% of total loans, at December 31, 2018, a decrease of $0.4
million compared to $6.3 million, or 0.47% of total loans, at September 30, 2018, and an increase of $2.2 million compared to
$3.7 million, or 0.29% of total loans, at December 31, 2017. Included in nonperforming loans are loans acquired in 2017 with a
balance of $3.8 million at December 31, 2018, or 64% of nonperforming loans, which is the primary reason for the increase in
nonperforming loans compared to December 31, 2017.
The allowance for loan losses was $9.5 million, or 158.94% and 0.67% of nonperforming and total loans,
respectively, at December 31, 2018, compared to $9.0 million, or 142.16% and 0.66%, respectively, at September 30, 2018,
and $7.9 million, or 214.43% and 0.63%, respectively, at December 31, 2017.
The provision for loan losses was $0.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared to $0.8
million and $0.4 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The provision for
loan losses is primarily attributable to loan growth during each of the quarters.
Deposits
Total deposits at December 31, 2018 were $1.36 billion, an increase of $66.1 million, or 5.1%, compared to
September 30, 2018, and an increase of $136.5 million, or 11.1%, compared to December 31, 2017.

Interest-bearing demand deposits increased $49.6 million, or 20.2% compared to September 30, 2018 and $86.5 million, or 41.5%,
compared to December 31, 2017. Compared to September 30, 2018, approximately $15.0 million of the increase resulted from the
transfer of funds from existing repurchase agreements into our new reciprocal deposit product introduced in the fourth quarter. The
quarter and year to date growth in interest-bearing deposits is mainly attributable to our continued focus on relationship banking
and growing our commercial relationships.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2018 totaled $14.8 million, an increase of $0.4 million, or 2.9%,
compared to the third quarter of 2018, and an increase of $2.0 million, or 15.5%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. Included
in net interest income for the quarters ended December 31, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is $0.3
million, $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of interest income accretion from the acquisition of loans. Also included in
net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 is an interest recovery of $0.1 million on an acquired loan.
The increase in net interest income in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to the same quarter last year was
primarily driven by growth in loan and securities balances and the yields earned on those balances, partially offset by an increase
in interest expense as we funded the increase in interest-earning assets with increased deposits and borrowings. Interest income
for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased $2.7 million and $1.3 million due to increases in the volume and yield, respectively, of
interest-earning assets. These increases were partially offset by increases in interest expense of $0.5 million and $1.5 million
due to increases in the volume and cost, respectively, of interest-bearing liabilities compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.
The Company’s net interest margin was 3.53% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared to 3.56% for
the quarter ended September 30, 2018 and 3.55% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The yield on interest-earning
assets was 4.75% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared to 4.65% for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 and
4.42% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31,
2018 compared to the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was driven by an increase in the cost of
funds required to fund the increase in assets.
Exclusive of the interest income accretion from the acquisition of loans, discussed above, as well as a $0.1
million interest recovery in the quarter ended December 31, 2018 and a $40,000 interest recovery in the quarter ended
December 31, 2017, net interest margin would have been 3.43% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared to 3.42%
for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 and 3.48% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, while the yield on
interest-earning assets would have been 4.65% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared to 4.51% and 4.35% for the
quarters ended September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
The cost of deposits increased 18 basis points to 1.32% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared to
1.14% for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 and increased 40 basis points compared to 0.92% for the quarter ended
December 31, 2017. The increase in the cost of deposits compared to the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and
December 31, 2017 reflects the increased rates offered for our interest-bearing demand deposits and time deposits to remain
competitive in our market in a rising interest rate environment and attract new deposits. We also made the strategic decision to
get ahead of the rising interest rate curve in future quarters and increased our deposit rates during the third quarter of 2018. We
experienced significant deposit growth in both the third and fourth quarters of 2018 at these higher rates, which contributed to
the increase in the cost of deposits in the fourth quarter. The overall costs of funds for the quarter ended December 31, 2018
increased 16 and 43 basis points to 1.50% compared to 1.34% and 1.07% for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and
December 31, 2017, respectively. The increase in the cost of funds at December 31, 2018 compared to September 30,
2018 and December 31, 2017 is mainly a result of an increase in the cost of deposits but is also driven by the increased cost
of borrowed funds used to finance loan and investment activity.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2018 totaled $0.8 million, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 31.3%,
compared to the third quarter of 2018, and a decrease of $0.1 million, or 13.1%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. The
decrease in noninterest income compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2018 is mainly attributable to a $0.3 million
decrease in the fair value of equity securities.
The decrease in noninterest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 is primarily a result of a $0.3
million decrease in the fair value of equity securities and a $0.1 million decrease in servicing fees and fee income on serviced
loans, partially offset by increases in service charges on deposit accounts and other operating income. Other operating income
includes, among other things, various operations fees and income recognized on certain equity method investments.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2018 totaled $10.9 million, an increase of $0.7 million, or 6.4%,
compared to the third quarter of 2018, and an increase of $1.3 million, or 13.5%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.
The increase in noninterest expense compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2018 is mainly attributable
to the $0.6 million increase in other operating expenses. During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, a purchase agreement for a
property held in other real estate owned (“OREO”) was executed, and the property was sold subsequent to the end of the quarter. A
write-down of the property in the amount of $0.6 million was recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 to reflect the
amount of the purchase agreement less the cost to sell the property. Noninterest expense also increased due to a $0.3 million
increase in acquisition expense recorded in relation to the pending acquisition of Mainland Bank, announced in October 2018. The
increases in acquisition expense and other operating expenses were offset by a $0.4 million decrease in salaries and employee
benefits, primarily a result of $0.3 million of severance expense recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2018 as part of a
staffing optimization plan focused on the operations of our recent acquisitions.
The increase in noninterest expense compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 is primarily attributable to the $0.8
million and $0.9 million increases in salaries and employee benefits and other operating expenses, respectively, partially offset
by a $0.5 million decrease in acquisition expense. The increase in salaries and employee benefits compared to the fourth quarter of
2017 is mainly attributable to the staffing mix, including the addition of our new Commercial and Industrial Division, which
includes five new lenders and related support staff. The increase in other operating expenses is primarily attributable to the $0.6
million write-down of an OREO property discussed above.
Taxes
The Company recorded income tax expense of $0.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, which
equates to an effective tax rate of 19.5%, an increase from the effective tax rate of 11.3% and a decrease from the effective tax
rate of 39.5% for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The decrease in the
effective tax rate compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2017 is primarily a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which
lowered the federal corporate income tax rate to 21% from 35%, effective January 1, 2018. In addition, the income tax expense for
the quarter ended December 31, 2017 includes a one-time charge of $0.3 million as a result of the revaluation of the Company’s
deferred tax assets and liabilities required following the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The increase in the effective
tax rate compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2018 is due to a discrete tax benefit of $0.3 million recorded during the
third quarter related to return-to-provision adjustments. Management expects the Company’s effective tax rate to approximate 20% in
2019.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share
The Company reported basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.35 and $0.34, respectively, for the
quarter ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $0.07 compared to basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.42 and
$0.41, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 and an increase of $0.10 and $0.09, respectively, compared to
basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.25 for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.

Reform Act of 1995 that reflect the Company’s current views with respect to, among other things, future events and financial
performance. The Company generally identifies forward-looking statements by terminology such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,”
“potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,”
“anticipates,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words. Any forward-looking statements contained in this
press release are based on the historical performance of the Company and its subsidiaries or on the Company’s current plans,
estimates and expectations. The inclusion of this forward-looking information should not be regarded as a representation by the
Company that the future plans, estimates or expectations by the Company will be achieved. Such forward-looking statements are
subject to various risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to the Company’s operations, financial results, financial
condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize,
or if the Company’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, the Company’s actual results may vary materially from those
indicated in these statements. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. A number of important factors could cause
actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not
limited to, the following, any one or more of which could materially affect the outcome of future events:
- business and economic conditions generally and in the financial services industry in particular, whether nationally,
regionally or in the markets in which we operate;
- our ability to achieve organic loan and deposit growth, and the composition of that growth;
- changes (or the lack of changes) in interest rates, yield curves and interest rate spread relationships that affect our loan
and deposit pricing;
- the extent of continuing client demand for the high level of personalized service that is a key element of our banking
approach as well as our ability to execute our strategy generally;
- our dependence on our management team, and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;
- changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios, including adverse developments in borrower
industries or in the repayment ability of individual borrowers;
- inaccuracy of the assumptions and estimates we make in establishing reserves for probable loan losses and other
estimates;
- the concentration of our business within our geographic areas of operation in Louisiana;
- concentration of credit exposure; and
- the satisfaction of the conditions to closing the pending acquisition of Mainland Bank and the ability to subsequently
integrate it effectively.
These factors should not be construed as exhaustive. Additional information on these and other risk factors can
be found in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and in the “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 7. “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
