Use of Non‐GAAP Financial Measures This investor presentation contains certain financial measures that are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and therefore, are considered non‐GAAP financial measures. The Company’s management uses these non‐GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company’s performance, financial condition and the efficiency of its operations. Management believes that these non‐GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods as well as demonstrate the effects of significant changes in the current period. The Company’s management also believes that investors find these non‐GAAP financial measures useful as they assist investors in understanding our underlying operating performance and the analysis of ongoing operating trends. However, the non‐GAAP financial measures discussed herein should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate the non‐GAAP financial measures discussed herein may differ from thatofothercompanies reporting measures with similar names. You should understand how such other banking organizations calculate their similar financial measures or with names similar to the non‐ GAAP financial measures we have discussed herein when comparing such non‐GAAP financial measures. Below is a listing of the non‐GAAP financial measures used in this investor presentation. • Pro forma items include provision for income taxes, net income, return on average assets, return on average equity and earnings per share. Prior to January 1, 2018, these pro forma amounts are calculated by adding back our franchise S‐Corporation tax to net income, and using a combined C‐Corporation effective tax rate for Federal and California income taxes of 42.0%. This calculation reflects only the changes in our status as a S‐Corporation and does not give effect to any other transaction. • Efficiency ratio is defined as noninterest expenses divided by operating revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus noninterest income. • Tangible book value and tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets are non‐GAAP measures that exclude the impact of goodwill and are used by the Company’s management to evaluate capital adequacy. Because intangible assets such as goodwill vary extensively from company to company, we believe that the presentation of these non‐GAAP financial measures allows investors to more easily compare the Company’s capital position to other companies. A reconciliation to these non‐GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided in the appendix to this investor presentation. 3
