Earnings Release Detail 24 Income Statement N/M – Not Meaningful (1) In the second quarter of 2018, the Company corrected the classification of commitment fees, net of direct loan origination costs, earned on construction loans and other lines of credit to commercial customers in its condensed consolidated statements of income to the financial statement caption, interest and fees on loans, which were previously reported in service charges and fees. As a result, the three months ended March 31, 2018 has been adjusted from the amounts previously reported to correct the classification error. The amount of the adjustment was a decrease to service charges and fees, and increase to interest and fees on loans of $544 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. There was no change to the reported net income or income per share, basic and diluted, as previously reported as a result of this immaterial correction. Sterling Bancorp, Inc.
