(1) Ratios are presented on an annualized basis.    

(2) The ratios are determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).     

SeeNon-GAAP measures section for reconciliation of the calculation.    

(3) The ratio is calculated by dividing dividends declared per common share by basic earnings per common share.    

(4) Total revenue is equal to the sum of net interest income before provision for loan and lease losses and noninterest income.    

(5) The ratios are calculated by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income before provision for loan and lease losses and noninterest income.

Non-GAAP Measures

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

(Unaudited)

Under Item 10(e) of SEC RegulationS-K, public companies disclosing financial measures in filings with the SEC that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP must also disclose, along with eachnon-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, a reconciliation of thenon-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the reasons why the company’s management believes that presentation of thenon-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors regarding the company’s financial condition and results of operations and, to the extent material, a statement of the additional purposes, if any, for which the company’s management uses thenon-GAAP financial measure.

Return on average tangible common equity and efficiency ratio, as adjusted, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and tangible common equity per common share constitute supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Thesenon-GAAP measures are used by management in its analysis of the Company’s performance.

Tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting preferred stock, goodwill, and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity. Tangible assets is calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from total assets. Banking regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders’ equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution.

Adjusted efficiency ratio is calculated by subtracting loss on investments in alternative energy partnerships from noninterest expense and adding totalpre-tax return, which includes the loss on investments in alternative energy partnerships, to the sum of net interest income and noninterest income (total revenue). Management believes the presentation of these financial measures adjusting the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results and operating performance of the Company.

This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable tonon-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

The following tables provide reconciliations of thenon-GAAP measures with financial measures defined by GAAP.
