Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 27, 2011, First Financial Bancorp. issued its earnings press release that included the results of operations and financial condition for the first quarter of 2011. A copy of the earnings press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
The earnings press release includes some non-GAAP financial measures. The first non-GAAP financial measure, Net interest margin (fully tax equivalent), appears in the table entitled “Consolidated Financial Highlights” under the section “Key Financial Ratios.” It also appears in the two tables entitled “Consolidated Quarterly Statements of Income”, as well as the “Consolidated Statements of Income” under “Additional Data”. The second non-GAAP measure appears in the tables entitled “Additional Data” at the bottom of the two “Consolidated Quarterly Statements of Income” pages and the “Consolidated Statements of Income” page. The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 35% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis. Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons. Management also uses these measures to make peer comparisons.
Below is a table showing “net interest income” calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and the adjustments made to arrive at the non-GAAP financial measure “net interest income – tax equivalent.” The table also shows “net interest margin” calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and the method used to arrive at the non-GAAP financial measure “net interest margin (fully tax equivalent).”

The earnings press release also includes some non-GAAP ratios in the “Consolidated Financial Highlights” page. These ratios are: (1) Return on average tangible common shareholders' equity; (2) Ending tangible common equity as a percent of ending tangible assets; (3) Ending tangible common equity as a percent of risk-weighted assets; (4) Average tangible common equity as a percent of average tangible assets; and (5) Tangible book value per common share. The Ending tangible common equity as a percent of ending tangible assets and Average tangible common equity as a percent of average tangible assets are also shown in the “Regulatory Capital” section of the “Capital Adequacy” page in the earnings release. The following table provides a reconciliation of these ratios to GAAP. The company considers these critical metrics with which to analyze banks. The ratios have been included in the earnings press release to facilitate a better understanding of the company’s capital structure and financial condition.
