(a)Tangible book value per common share and tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets are non-U.S. GAAP ratios. Management believes this non-GAAP information is helpful in evaluating the strength of the Corporation's capital and in providing an alternative, conservative valuation of the Corporation's net worth. The ratios shown above are based on the following calculations of tangible assets and tangible common equity:
| | | | | | |
Total Assets | | $ | 2,352,793 | | $ | 1,642,587 |
Less: Intangible Assets, Primarily Goodwill | | | (56,585) | | | (29,939) |
Tangible Assets | | $ | 2,296,208 | | $ | 1,612,648 |
Total Shareholders' Equity | | $ | 296,316 | | $ | 242,939 |
Less: Intangible Assets, Primarily Goodwill | | | (56,585) | | | (29,939) |
Tangible Common Equity (3) | | $ | 239,731 | | $ | 213,000 |

Common Shares Outstanding, End of Period (4) | | | 15,890,353 | | | 13,703,022 |
Tangible Common Book Value per Share = (3)/(4) | | $ | 15.09 | | $ | 15.54 |
(b)Capital ratios for the most recent period are estimated.
(c)The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP ratio that is calculated as shown above. For purposes of calculating the efficiency ratio, net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis includes amounts of interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans that have been increased to a fully taxable-equivalent basis, using the Corporation's marginal federal income tax rate of 21%. In the calculation above, management excluded merger-related expenses. These expenses include expenses related to the acquisition of Covenant Financial, Inc., which closed July 1, 2020. Also excluded are expenses related to the acquisition of Monument Bancorp, Inc. , which closed April 1, 2019.
