Non-GAAP Presentations: Management has traditionally disclosed certain non-GAAP ratios to evaluate and measure the Company's performance, including a net interest margin calculation. The net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income on a tax equivalent basis by average earning assets for the period. Management believes this measure provides investors with information regarding balance sheet profitability. Consistent with industry practice, management also disclosed other non-GAAP measures in the discussion above and in the following tables. The efficiency ratio is discussed in the noninterest expense presentation on page 4. The tables provide a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP equivalent.
