NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures.  The Bank uses these non-GAAP financial measures, specifically return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity, tangible book value per common share, total tangible common stockholders’ equity and the ratio of total tangible common stockholders’ equity to total tangible assets, as important measures of the strength of its capital and its ability to generate earnings on its tangible capital invested by its shareholders. These measures typically adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude intangible assets.  Management believes presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information which contributes to a proper understanding of the financial results and capital levels of the Bank. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other banks.  Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables at the end of this release under the caption “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

(1) The interest expense and the rates for “other borrowings” and for “subordinated debentures” were affected by capitalized interest.  Capitalized interest included in other borrowings totaled $0.11 million for the third quarter and $0.86 million for the first nine months of 2019 and $0.20 million for the third quarter and $0.38 million for the first nine months of 2018.  In the absence of this interest capitalization, the rates on other borrowings would have been 2.69% for the third quarter and 2.57% for the first nine months of 2019 and 2.12% for the third quarter and 1.83% for the first nine months of 2018.  Capitalized interest included in subordinated debentures totaled $0.45 million for both the third quarter and the first nine months of 2019 and none in 2018.  In the absence of this interest capitalization, the rates on subordinated debentures would have been 5.39% for the third quarter and 5.61% for the first nine months of 2019
