Non-GAAP Reconciliation Tangible common equity to tangible assets (the "tangible
common equity ratio") and tangible book value per share are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures derived from U.S. GAAP-based amounts. We calculate the tangible common equity ratio by excluding the balance of intangible assets from common
stockholders' equity and dividing by tangible assets. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible common equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which we calculate by dividing common
stockholders' equity by common shares outstanding. We believe that this information is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios. Accordingly, we
believe that these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding our capital position and ratios. However, these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are
not a substitute for an analysis based on U.S. GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A
reconciliation of the non-U.S. GAAP measure of tangible common equity ratio to the U.S. GAAP measure of common equity ratio and tangible book value per share to the U.S. GAAP measure of book value per share are set forth below. #VALUE! 27
28 Non-GAAP Reconciliation For periods presented below, efficiency ratio is a
non-U.S. GAAP financial measure derived from U.S. GAAP-based amounts. This figure represents the ratio of non-interest expense less other real estate owned operations and amortization of intangible assets expense to the sum of net interest income
and total non-interest income. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business. This non-U.S. GAAP financial
measure is supplemental and is not a substitute for an analysis based on U.S. GAAP measures. As companies may use different calculations for this measure, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by
other companies. A calculation of the non-U.S. GAAP measure of efficiency ratio is set forth below.
Non-GAAP Reconciliation Pre-tax, pre-provision income is an non-U.S. GAAP financial
measure derived from U.S. GAAP-based amounts. We calculate pre-tax, pre-provision income by excluding income tax and provision for credit losses from net income. Management believes that the exclusion of such items from this financial measure
provides useful information to gain an understanding of the operating results of our core business. This non-U.S. GAAP financial measure is supplemental and is not a substitute for an analysis based on U.S. GAAP measures. As companies may use
different calculations for this measure, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A calculation of the non-U.S. GAAP measure of Pre-Tax pre-provision income is set forth below. 29
