(1) Tangible common equity ("TCE") is a non-GAAP measure. We believe TCE is a more meaningful measure of the net asset value of the Company to investors. For corresponding reconciliation of TCE to a GAAP financial measure, see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures and Calculations of Regulatory Measures.
(2) Regulatory capital ratios at September 30, 2023 are preliminary and therefore subject to change.
(3) Capital ratios reflect the phase-in of an estimate of CECL’s effect on regulatory capital over a three-year transitional period beginning in the first quarter of 2022 through 2024. Capital ratios for 2023 and 2022 reflect 50% and 25%, respectively, of the phase-in of CECL effects.
(4) Total risk-based capital ratio is the ratio of total risk-based capital divided by risk-weighted assets.
(5) Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio is the ratio of Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets.
(6) Tier 1 leverage ratio is the ratio of Tier 1 capital divided by total average assets, after certain adjustments.
