NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
These slides contain non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of Regulation G, a non-GAAP financial measure is a
numerical measure of the registrant’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that
excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the
most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income,
balance sheet or statement of cash flows (or equivalent statements) of the registrant; or includes amounts, or is
subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable
measure so calculated and presented. In this regard, GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, German American Bancorp, Inc. has provided
reconciliations within these slides, as necessary, of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measure.
