Management at the Company believes that excluding certain items from noninterest expense and noninterest income can help assess operational performance. The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets. Tangible common equity measures are used to assess capital adequacy. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.
