Tangible book value per share, the ratio of tangible equity to tangible assets, and the
efficiency ratio are not financial measures recognized under GAAP and, therefore, are
considered non-GAAP financial measures. Our management, banking regulators, many financial
analysts and other investors use these non-GAAP financial measures to compare
the
capital adequacy of banking organizations with significant amounts of preferred equity and/or goodwill or other intangible assets, which typically stem from the use of the
purchase accounting method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions. Tangible equity,
tangible assets, tangible book value per share or related measures should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for total stockholders’ equity, total assets,
book value per share or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover,
the manner in which we calculate tangible equity, tangible assets, tangible book value per
share and any other related measures may differ from that of other companies
reporting
measures with similar names. The following table reconciles, as of the dates set forth below, stockholders’ equity (on a GAAP basis) to tangible equity and total assets
(on a GAAP basis) to tangible assets and calculates our tangible book value per share.
