2 2 Cautionary Statement Cautionary Statement This investor presentation may contain forward -looking statements, as defined by federal securities laws, inclu ding statements about United ’s financial outlook and business environment. These statements a re based on current expectations and 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 expressed or implied in any such statements. For a discussion of some of the risks and other factors that may cause such forward -looking statements to differ materially from actual results, please refe r to United Community Banks, Inc. ’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its 2013 Annual Re port on Form 10-K and its most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q under the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements”. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements. Non Non - - GAAP Measures GAAP Measures This presentation also contains financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Such non-GAAP financial measures include the following: core fee revenue, core operating expense, core earnings, 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 mea sures are: fee revenue, operating expense, net income (loss), and equity toassets. Management uses these non -GAAP financial measures because we believe they are useful for e valuating our operations and performance over periods of time, as well as in m anaging and evaluating our business and in discussions about our operations and performance. Management be lieves these non -GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with a meaningful mea sure for assessing our financial results and credit trends, as well as for 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, p lease refer to the ‘Non-GAAP Reconcilement Tables’at the end of the Appendix to this presentation.
