This presentation contains forward-looking statements, as defined by Federal Securities Laws, including statements about financial outlook and business environment. These statements are provided to assist in the understanding of future financial performance. Such performance involves risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in such statements. Any such statements are based on current expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of factors that may cause such forward-looking statements to differ materially from actual results, please refer to United Community Banks, Inc.'s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Cautionary Statement 2


 

This presentation also contains non-GAAP financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Such non-GAAP financial measures include the following: net interest margin - pre credit, core fee revenue, core operating expense, core earnings, net operating (loss) income and net operating (loss) earnings per share, tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible equity to tangible assets and tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets. The most comparable GAAP measures to these measures are: net interest margin, fee revenue, operating expense, net (loss) income, diluted (loss) earnings per share and equity to assets. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe it is useful for evaluating our operations and performance over periods of time, as well as in managing and evaluating our business and in discussions about our operations and performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with a meaningful measure for assessing our financial results and credit trends, as well as comparison to financial results for prior periods. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled financial measures used by other companies. For a reconciliation of the differences between our non-GAAP financial measures and the most comparable GAAP measures, please refer to the 'Non-GAAP Reconcilement Tables' at the end of the Appendix of this presentation. We have not reconciled tangible common equity to tangible assets and core earnings to the extent such numbers are presented on a forward-looking basis based on management's internal stress test or SCAP methodology. Estimates that would be required for such reconciliations cannot reliably be produced without unreasonable effort. 3 Non-GAAP Measures
