Reconciliation of GAAP Earnings and Core Earnings<br>34<br>Non-cash Fair Value Adjustments to GAAP Earnings<br>The variance in GAAP and core earnings is partly driven by the impact of non-cash net gains and losses from fair value<br>adjustments. These fair value adjustments relate primarily to borrowings carried at fair value under the fair value option.<br>Core Net Income, Core Diluted EPS, Core ROAE, Core ROAA, Pre-provision, Pre-tax Net Revenue, Core Net Interest Income<br>FTE, Core Net Interest Margin FTE, Core Interest Income and Yield on Total Loans, Core Noninterest Income, Core Noninterest<br>Expense and Tangible Book Value per common share are each non-GAAP measures used in this presentation. A reconciliation<br>to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures appears below in tabular form. The Company believes that these<br>measures are useful for both investors and management to understand the effects of certain interest and noninterest items and<br>provide an alternative view of the Company's performance over time and in comparison, to the Company's competitors. These<br>measures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income. The Company believes that tangible book value per common<br>share is useful for both investors and management as this measure is commonly used by financial institutions, regulators and<br>investors to measure the capital adequacy of financial institutions. The Company believes this measure facilitates comparison of<br>the quality and composition of the Company's capital over time and in comparison, to its competitors. This measure should not<br>be viewed as a substitute for total shareholders' equity.<br>These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should<br>not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may<br>not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
