The Private Securities Litigation Report Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for certain forward-looking statements. This presentation contains forward-looking statements with respect to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance or business.

![]() 2 Non-GAAP Measures This presentation contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures calculated using GAAP amounts include tangible common equity, tangible assets and pre-tax, pre-provision earnings. We calculate tangible equity by excluding the balance of goodwill and intangible assets from our calculation of shareholders’ equity. We calculate tangible common equity by excluding the balance of preferred equity from tangible equity. We calculate tangible assets by excluding the balance of goodwill and other intangible assets from total assets. We believe that this is consistent with the treatment by the Office of Thrift Supervision, our bank regulatory agency, which excludes goodwill and other intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios. Accordingly, management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information to investors that is useful in understanding the basis of our risk-based capital ratios. We calculate pre-tax, pre-provision earnings by adding provision for loan losses to income before income taxes. Management believes pre- tax, pre-provision earnings is useful in assessing the Company’s core performance and trends, particularly during periods of economic stress. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. Because not all companies use the same calculation of tangible equity, tangible common equity, tangible assets and pre-tax, pre-provision earnings, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the nearest GAAP measure is provided in the appendix to this presentation. We have not reconciled tangible common equity and tangible assets 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 the reconciliation cannot reliably be produced without unreasonable effort. |
