Non-GAAP Reconciliation SECTION 06
Non-GAAP Statement 49As of June 30, 2026 Statements in this exhibit include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables in our definitions and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses, and this exhibit references, the adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average shareholders' equity, adjusted efficiency ratio, the adjusted book value and net interest income and net interest margin, each on a fully taxable equivalent, or FTE, basis, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share (diluted) which are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes the adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average shareholders' equity, adjusted efficiency ratio, the adjusted book value and net interest income and net interest margin, each on a fully taxable equivalent, or FTE, basis, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per common share (diluted) provide information useful to investors in understanding our underlying business, operational performance and performance trends as they facilitate comparisons with the performance of other companies in the financial services industry. Although management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable with non-GAAP measures which may be presented by other companies.
Non-GAAP Reconciliation 50As of June 30, 2026 $252 The adjusted book value ratio excludes accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") and adds back the other segment reserve release, net of tax. The Company believes this adjusted measure enables investors to assess the Company's capital levels and capital adequacy without the effects of changes in AOCL, which are uncertain and difficult to predict, or assuming that the Company realized all the previously unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities at the end of the period.
