Appendix: Non-GAAP Reconciliation Core basic earnings per common share is a non-GAAP measure which considers net income per common share without taking into consideration non-cash impairment charges on certain investment securities that have occurred. The reconciliation of core basic earnings per share to basic earnings per share is as follows: Basic earnings per common share . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $0.40 $0.26 Securities impairment. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.01 1.75 Core basic earnings per common share . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.41 2.01 Core diluted earnings per common share is a non-GAAP measure which considers net income per common share without taking into consideration non-cash impairment charges on certain investment securities that have occurred. The reconciliation of core diluted earnings per share to diluted earnings per share is as follows: Diluted earnings per common share . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $0.40 $0.25 Securities impairment. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.01 1.75 Core diluted earnings per common share . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.41 2.00 We believe that this information is useful to investors and can aid them in understanding our current performance and financial condition. While core earnings can be useful in evaluating current performance, we do not believe that core earnings are a substitute for net income calculated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP. We encourage investors and others to use core earnings as a supplemental tool for analysis and not as a substitute for GAAP net income. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to the non-GAAP measures of other companies. In addition, future results of operations may include nonrecurring items that would not be included in core earnings. The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating expense control and efficiency of operations. Management believes this ratio better focuses attention on the core operating performance of the Company over time than does a GAAP-based ratio, and is useful in comparing period-to-period operating performance of our core business operations. This ratio is used by management as part of its assessment of its performance in managing noninterest expenses. However, this measure is supplemental and is not a substitute for an analysis of performance based on GAAP measures. Investors are cautioned that the efficiency ratio used by us may not be comparable to efficiency ratios reported by other financial institutions. The efficiency ratio is comprised of noninterest expenses as a percentage of net interest income plus noninterest income. Noninterest expenses used in the calculation exclude amortization of intangibles and non-recurring expenses. Income for the ratio is increased for the favorable effect of tax-exempt income, and excludes securities gains and losses, which vary widely from period to period without appreciably affecting operating expenses, non-recurring gains and losses, and other-than-temporary impairment charges. The reconciliation of the non-GAAP efficiency ratio to a GAAP ratio is as follows on the following page:
