⁽¹⁾Interest income and yields on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, assuming a federal income tax rate of 35%. This non-GAAP financial measure assists management in comparing revenue from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The corresponding income tax impact related to tax-exempt items is recorded in income tax expense. These adjustments have no impact on net income.

⁽²⁾Includes loans acquired through Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")-assisted transactions subject to loss sharing agreements ("covered loans") and a related FDIC indemnification asset.

⁽³⁾See the deposit portfolio section for further average balance detail by category.

For the second quarter of 2015, total average interest-earning assets rose $183.0 million from the first quarter of 2015 driven by loan growth and an increase in lower yielding other interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by a decrease in investment securities. Total average funding sources increased $181.0 million from the first quarter of 2015 as a result of seasonally higher levels of interest-bearing core deposits and demand deposits.

Compared to the second quarter of 2014, the $1.1 billion increase in total average interest-earning assets and total average funding sources reflects the impact of acquisitions during the second half of 2014 and organic loan growth over the course of the year.

Tax-equivalent net interest margin for the current quarter was 3.76%, decreasing 3 basis points from the first quarter of 2015 and increasing 11 basis points from the second quarter of 2014. Compared to the first quarter of 2015, the reduction in tax-equivalent net interest margin was impacted by higher levels of other interest-earning assets, the continued shift in the loan mix to floating rate loans, and the flattening of the yield curve, which was partially offset by acquired loan accretion income and interest rate swaps. Tax-equivalent net interest margin grew compared to the second quarter of 2014 due to acquired loan accretion income and interest rate swaps, partially offset by a decrease in accretion income on covered loans and the continued shift in the loan mix.

Total noninterest income	$	33,988	$	31,101	$	31,193		9.3		9.0

Total fee-based revenues of $31.6 million grew 10.2% compared to the first quarter of 2015 and 16.9% compared to the second quarter of 2014, reflecting growth across all categories.

Compared to the first quarter of 2015, the increase in service charges on deposit accounts was impacted by growth and seasonality in treasury management services and a seasonal rise in other consumer deposit transactions. The increase in card-based fees from the first quarter of 2015 reflects seasonally higher transaction volumes. Growth in service charges on deposit accounts and card-based fees compared to the second quarter of 2014 resulted primarily from services provided to customers acquired in the acquisitions completed during the second half of 2014.

Compared to both prior periods presented, continued sales of fiduciary and investment advisory services to new and existing customers drove the rise in wealth management fees. During the second quarter of 2015, we sold $51.9 million of 1-4 family mortgage loans in the secondary market compared to sales of $34.5 million in the first quarter of 2015 and $32.2 million in the second quarter of 2014. Fee income generated by sales of capital market products to commercial clients and gains realized on the sale of leasing equipment contracts contributed to the increase in other service charges, commissions, and fees compared to both prior periods presented.

Total noninterest income of $34.0 million grew 9.3% and 9.0% from the first quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2014, respectively. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company realized net securities gains of $4.5 million and a $2.1 million loss from the prepayment of $114.6 million in FHLB advances.

Efficiency ratio ⁽¹⁾	62		%	64		%	64		%

⁽¹⁾ The efficiency ratio expresses noninterest expense, excluding OREO expense, as a percentage of tax-equivalent net interest income plus total fee-based revenues, other income, and tax-equivalent adjusted BOLI income. In addition, acquisition and integration related expenses of $830,000 are excluded from the efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2014. See the accompanying Non-GAAP Reconciliations for details on the calculation of the efficiency ratio.

The efficiency ratio improved to 62% in the second quarter of 2015 from 64% for both the first quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2014. Total noninterest expense increased 1.1% from the first quarter of 2015, reflecting the timing of advertising and certain OREO valuation expenses. The rise in total noninterest expense compared to the second quarter of 2014 was impacted by operating costs of the 21 banking locations acquired during the second half of 2014, of which four have been closed. These costs primarily occurred within salaries and employee benefits, net occupancy and equipment expense, technology and related costs, and other expenses.

Compared to the first quarter of 2015, the decline in net occupancy and equipment expense resulted from lower weather related costs such as snow removal and utilities.

The decrease in professional services compared to the second quarter of 2014 was driven by lower levels of loan remediation expenses and covered loan portfolio servicing costs.

Approximately half of the other expenses category consists of FDIC premiums and other intangible amortization expenses. Compared to the second quarter of 2014, the increase resulted primarily from other intangible amortization and other miscellaneous operating expenses related to the 2014 acquisitions.

Total loans, excluding covered loans, of $6.8 billion grew 3.0% on an annualized basis from March 31, 2015 and 16.2% from June 30, 2014. The loan growth from June 30, 2014 related to loans obtained in the 2014 acquisitions and organic growth.

Compared to March 31, 2015, growth was concentrated within our commercial and industrial and agricultural loan categories and reflects the continued expansion into select sector-based lending areas such as asset-based lending and leasing.

⁽¹⁾ Acquired loans are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date with no allowance for credit losses being established. Included within total loans are loans acquired during 2014 which totaled $587.0 million at June 30, 2015 and $660.9 million and March 31, 2015. These loans have an allowance for loan loss of $821,000 that was established during the second quarter of 2015. In addition, there was a remaining acquisition adjustment of $17.5 million and $22.4 million at June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. This acquisition adjustment represents the difference between the contractual loan balances and the carrying value of these loans.

Total non-performing assets, excluding covered loans and covered OREO, decreased by $6.0 million, or 7.4%, from March 31, 2015 and $31.0 million, or 29.2%, from June 30, 2014.

Average core deposits of $6.8 billion for the second quarter of 2015 increased 3.3% and 18.2% compared to the first quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2014, respectively. The rise in average core deposits compared to the first quarter of 2015 resulted primarily from a seasonal increase in average municipal deposits of nearly $135.0 million. Compared to the second quarter of 2014, the rise was due primarily to deposits assumed in the acquisitions completed during the second half of 2014, which further strengthened the Company's core deposit base.

Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets	10.49	%	10.35	%	10.19	%	10.97	%

N/A - Not applicable.

⁽¹⁾Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015. These rules revise the risk-based capital requirements and introduce a new capital measure, Tier 1 common capital to risk-weighted assets. As a result, ratios subsequent to December 31, 2014 are computed using the new rules and prior periods presented are reported using the regulatory guidance applicable at that time.

⁽²⁾Ratio is not subject to formal Federal Reserve regulatory guidance.

⁽³⁾ Tangible common equity ("TCE") represents common stockholders' equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. In management's view, Tier 1 common capital and TCE measures are meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Company's use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with competitors. See the accompanying Non-GAAP Reconciliations for details of the calculation of these ratios.

The Company's capital ratios increased from March 31, 2015 driven primarily by growth in retained earnings. The decline in capital ratios compared to June 30, 2014 resulted from the addition of risk-weighted and average assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, related to acquisitions. These declines were partially offset by earnings and an increase in allowable deferred tax assets.

The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.09 per common share during the second quarter of 2015, which follows a dividend increase from $0.08 to $0.09 per common share during the first quarter of 2015.

⁽¹⁾	Annualized based on the actual number of days for each period presented.


⁽²⁾	Tax equivalent basis reflects federal and state tax benefits.


⁽³⁾	Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015. These rules revise the risk-based capital requirements and introduce a new capital measure, Tier 1 common capital to risk weighted assets. As a result, ratios subsequent to December 31, 2014 are computed using the new rules and prior periods presented are reported using the regulatory guidance applicable at that time.


⁽⁴⁾	Excludes covered loans and covered OREO.

⁽⁵⁾

Acquired loans are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date with no allowance for credit losses being established. Included within total loans are loans acquired during 2014 which totaled $587.0 million at June 30, 2015, $660.9 million and March 31, 2015, $718.3 million at December 31, 2014, and $533.2 million at September 30, 2014. These loans have an allowance for loan loss of $821,000 that was established during the second quarter of 2015. In addition, there was a remaining acquisition adjustment of $17.5 million at June 30, 2015, $22.4 million at March 31, 2015, $24.7 million at December 31, 2014, and $13.6 million at September 30, 2014. This acquisition adjustment represents the difference between the contractual loan balances and the carrying value of these loans.
