1 Tangible Common Equity ("TCE") is a non-GAAP measure. The Company believes TCE is a more meaningful measure to investors of the net asset value of the Company. For corresponding reconciliation of TCE to a GAAP financial measure see Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP data schedule.

2 Excludes investments pledged to the Federal Reserve, which is included within the liquidity investment portfolio.

1 Total Loans includes mortgages and other loans.

2 Purchased Credit Impaired ("PCI") loans are loans that were acquired in which a deterioration in credit quality occurred between the origination date and the acquisition date. These loans were initially recorded at fair value and accrete interest income over the estimated lives of the loans as long as cash flows are reasonably estimable, even if the loans are contractually past due. PCI loans are private student loans and are included in total loan receivables.

3 Excludes PCI loans (described above) which are accounted for on a pooled basis. Since a pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and aggregate expectation of cash flows, the past-due status of a pool, or that of the individual loans within a pool, is not meaningful. Because the company is recognizing interest income on a pool of loans, it is all considered to be performing.

4 The Reserve Rate includes federal student loans held for sale.

Capital Ratios are regulatory measures used to evaluate capital adequacy. To be considered "well-capitalized," total risk-based, tier 1 risk-based, and tier 1 leverage ratios of 10%, 6% and 5% respectively must be maintained. Total Risk Based Capital Ratio represents total capital divided by risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 Capital Ratio represents tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 Leverage Ratio represents tier 1 capital divided by average total assets.

Delinquency Rate (Over 30 Days) represents loans delinquent over thirty days divided by ending loans (total or respective loans, as appropriate).

Delinquency Rate (Over 90 Days) represents loans delinquent over ninety days divided by ending loans (total or respective loans, as appropriate).

Earnings Per Share represents net income allocated to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding.

Effective Tax Rate represents tax expense divided by income before income taxes.

Tangible Common Equity/Net Loans, a non-GAAP measure, represents total common equity less goodwill and intangibles divided by total loans less the allowance for loan loss (period end).

Tangible common equity ("TCE"), a non-GAAP financial measure, represents common equity less goodwill and intangibles. A reconciliation of TCE to common equity, a GAAP financial measure, is shown above. Other financial services companies may also use TCE and definitions may vary, so we advise users of this information to exercise caution in comparing TCE of different companies. TCE is included because management believes that common equity excluding goodwill and intangibles is a more meaningful measure to investors of the true net asset value of the company.
