GAAP TO NON - GAAP RECONCILIATIONS We present pre - tax, pre - provision earnings on an adjusted basis as a non - GAAP financial measure. We believe that the presentation of this non - GAAP financial measure helps identify underlying trends in our business from period to period that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of certain expenses included in our operating results . Investors should consider our performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing our performance or financial condition. Return on average tangible stockholders’ equity, return on average tangible assets and tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets are non - GAAP financial measures. We compute our return on average tangible stockholders’ equity as the ratio of net income to average tangible stockholders’ equity, which is calculated by subtracting (and thereby effectively excluding) amounts related to the effect of goodwill from our average total stockholders’ equity. We compute our return on average tangible assets as the ratio of net income to average tangible assets, which is calculated by subtracting (and thereby effectively excluding) amounts related to the effect of goodwill from our average total assets. We compute our tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets as the ratio of tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets, each of which we calculate by subtracting (and thereby effectively excluding) the value of our goodwill. We believe that these measurements are useful for investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate financial performance and capital adequacy relative to other financial institutions. Although these non - GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. Investors should consider our performance and capital adequacy as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing our performance and capital adequacy. The following tables provide a reconciliation of these non - GAAP financial measures with their most directly comparable GAAP measures. 24
