Forward guidance

Primis anticipates branch consolidation throughout 2022 and estimates $3.0 million of run-rate expense reductions as a result with approximately $1.5 million of expense reductions realized in 2022, excluding branch consolidation costs. As discussed above, repositioning some existing positions, consolidating branch infrastructure and several other strategies are anticipated to offset some of the known increases in noninterest expense and hold the overall increase to a mid-single digits growth rate over 2021 levels, excluding branch consolidation costs, in 2022.
