WESTBURY, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 25, 2012--New York Community Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: NYB) (the “Company”) today reported GAAP earnings of $117.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2011, and $480.0 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, for the twelve months ended at that date.
The Company also reported its earnings on a non-GAAP basis. In the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company generated non-GAAP operating earnings (“operating earnings”) of $117.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, and non-GAAP cash earnings (“cash earnings”) of $127.2 million, or $0.29 per diluted share. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, the Company generated operating earnings of $464.4 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, and cash earnings of $535.3 million, or $1.23 per diluted share.(1)(2)

The
Company’s cash earnings for the three and twelve months ended December
31, 2011 contributed $9.6 million and $55.3 million more, respectively,
to tangible stockholders’ equity than its GAAP earnings alone.(1)(3)
Commenting on the Company's results, President and Chief Executive Officer Joseph R. Ficalora stated, "Our solid fourth quarter performance speaks to our resilience--one of the vital features of our overall business strategy. Notwithstanding the volatility of market interest rates, and the high level of unemployment, we originated more than $5 billion in loans, including $2.4 billion of loans for investment, while also improving the quality of our assets, recording solid earnings, and maintaining our capital strength.
"Among the quarter's highlights, there is none more gratifying than the significant improvement in the quality of our non-covered loan portfolio. With non-performers down 48% year-over-year, the ratio to total loans improved to 1.11% at the end of this December from 2.23% at December 31, 2010.
"We also improved our efficiency on a linked-quarter basis, as a $5.6 million decline in operating expenses and a $5.3 million rise in net interest income contributed to a 235-basis point reduction in our efficiency ratio, to 39.15%.
"Yet another significant measure was our fourth quarter margin, which rose 12 basis points linked-quarter, to 3.45%. As the decline in market interest rates triggered an increase in multi-family loan production, prepayment penalty income more than doubled to $28.9 million, adding 33 basis points to our margin -- a linked-quarter increase of 19 basis points.
"Our fourth quarter earnings were also fueled by mortgage banking income of $24.7 million, as refinancing activity in the residential housing market served by our mortgage banking operation continued to be strong.”
Board of Directors Declares $0.25 per Share Dividend, Payable on February 17th
“Reflecting the strength of our earnings and our capital position, the Board of Directors last night declared our 32nd consecutive quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share. The dividend is payable on February 17th to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 7th,” Mr. Ficalora said.
Balance Sheet Summary
Assets
Assets totaled $42.0 billion at December 31, 2011, up $55.3 million from the September 30th balance and $833.6 million from the balance at December 31, 2010.
Loans
Total loans, net, represented $30.2 billion, or 71.7%, of total assets at December 31, 2011, reflecting a three-month increase of $301.7 million and a $1.1 billion increase from the balance at December 31, 2010. Primarily reflecting repayments, covered loans (i.e., acquired loans covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements), net, accounted for $3.7 billion, or 12.3%, of total loans, net at the end of December, reflecting three- and twelve-month reductions of $133.0 million and $566.3 million, respectively. The remainder of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2011 consisted of non-covered loans held for sale and non-covered loans held for investment.
Non-Covered Loans Held for Sale
The portfolio of non-covered loans held for sale ("loans held for sale") consists of one-to-four family loans that are originated throughout the country by the Company's mortgage banking subsidiary, NYCB Mortgage Company, LLC, primarily for sale to government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs").
Originations of loans held for sale rose $937.9 million, or 52.5%, to $2.7 billion linked-quarter, as the low level of residential mortgage interest rates continued to support a solid level of refinancing activity. As a result, the portfolio of loans held for sale rose $31.7 million from the September 30th balance to $1.0 billion at the current year-end. In addition, the average balance of loans held for sale was $1.0 billion in the current fourth quarter, as compared to $583.0 million and $1.3 billion, respectively, in the trailing and year-earlier three months.
3
Non-Covered
Loans Held for Investment
The portfolio of non-covered loans held for investment ("loans held for investment") totaled $25.5 billion at December 31, 2011 and represented 60.8% of total assets at that date. In addition to growing $400.9 million on a linked-quarter basis, the balance of loans held for investment grew $1.8 billion, or 7.7%, year-over-year.
Originations of held-for-investment loans totaled $2.4 billion in the current fourth quarter, a $448.5 million increase from the third-quarter volume and a $766.0 million increase from the year-earlier amount. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, originations of held-for-investment loans totaled $9.0 billion, up $4.7 billion from the volume produced in 2010.
Multi-family loans represented $1.6 billion and $5.8 billion, respectively, of loans originated in the current three- and twelve-month periods, while commercial real estate ("CRE") loans represented $513.1 million and $2.4 billion, respectively. Acquisition, development, and construction ("ADC") loans accounted for $53.9 million and $150.4 million, respectively, of loans originated for investment during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, while other loans (consisting primarily of commercial and industrial, or C&I, loans) represented $177.9 million and $715.2 million, respectively.
At December 31, 2011, multi-family loans represented $17.4 billion, or 68.3%, of total loans held for investment, reflecting a $164.1 million increase from the September 30th balance and a $630.8 million increase from the balance at December 31, 2010. The average multi-family loan had a principal balance of $4.0 million at December 31, 2011. The multi-family loan portfolio had an average loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio at origination of 51.5% and an expected weighted average life of 3.3 years at that date.
CRE loans represented $6.9 billion, or 26.9%, of total loans held for investment at the end of this December, reflecting a three-month increase of $283.3 million and a year-over-year increase of $1.4 billion, or 26.1%. The average CRE loan had a principal balance of $3.9 million at December 31, 2011. The CRE loan portfolio had an average LTV ratio at origination of 50.9% and an expected weighted average life of 3.4 years at that date.
The remainder of the held-for-investment portfolio consisted of ADC loans, other loans (primarily C&I loans), and seasoned one-to-four family loans, most of which were acquired in merger transactions prior to 2009. Year-over-year, the balance of ADC loans declined $123.8 million to $445.4 million, representing 1.7% of the held-for-investment loan portfolio. During this time, other loans fell $56.3 million to $671.5 million, representing 2.6% of the current year-end balance, while one-to-four family loans fell to $127.4 million, representing one half of 1% of total held-for-investment loans.
Pipeline
The current loan pipeline is approximately $3.5 billion, including loans held for investment of approximately $1.8 billion and one-to-four family loans held for sale of approximately $1.7 billion. Multi-family loans represent approximately $969 million of the current pipeline of held-for-investment loans.
Asset Quality
The following discussion pertains only to the Company's portfolio of non-covered loans held for investment and non-covered other real estate owned ("OREO").
For the fifth consecutive quarter, the Company's asset quality reflected linked-quarter improvement, as non-performing non-covered loans declined $91.0 million, or 21.8%, from the September 30th balance and $298.6 million, or 47.8%, from the balance at December 31, 2010. Non-performing non-covered loans represented $325.8 million, or 1.11%, of total loans at December 31, 2011, reflecting improvements of 33 and 112 basis points, respectively, from the earlier ratios.
Reflecting the decline in non-performing loans, the balance of non-performing assets improved to $410.4 million at the end of this December, a $109.1 million, or 21.0%, decrease from the September 30th balance and a $242.1 million, or 37.1%, decrease from the balance at December 31, 2010. Although the year-over-year improvement was coupled with a $56.5 million rise in OREO to $84.6 million, the balance of OREO fell $18.1 million over the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Although loans 30 to 89 days past due rose $73.8 million linked-quarter to $111.7 million, the balance at December 31, 2011 was $39.4 million, or 26.1%, less than the balance at December 31, 2010. Total delinquencies declined to $522.0 million at the end of this December, reflecting a linked-quarter improvement of $35.3 million and a twelve-month improvement of $281.5 million.
Net charge-offs totaled $22.1 million in the current fourth quarter, representing 0.07% of average loans, as compared to $13.1 million and $13.9 million, respectively, in the trailing and year-earlier three months. At $100.7 million, net charge-offs represented 0.35% of average loans for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $59.5 million, or 0.21%, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010.
The allowance for losses on non-covered loans declined $2.1 million linked-quarter, to $137.3 million, as a $2.0 million increase in the provision for such losses was exceeded by the increase in net charge-offs over the three-month period. Year-over-year, the allowance for losses on non-covered loans declined by $21.7 million, the net effect of a $12.0 million decrease in the provision for such losses and the increase in net charge-offs during the same time. The allowance for losses on non-covered loans represented 42.14% of non-performing non-covered loans and 0.54% of total non-covered loans at December 31, 2011, as compared to 25.45% and 0.67%, respectively, at December 31, 2010.
Securities
Securities represented $4.5 billion, or 10.8%, of total assets at December 31, 2011, reflecting a $607.1 million, or 11.8%, decrease from the September 30th balance and a $248.4 million decrease from the balance at December 31, 2010. In addition to the drop in market interest rates, which triggered a rise in repayments, the decline in securities reflects the deployment of cash flows into the production of held-for-investment loans. At December 31, 2011, the portfolio of held-to-maturity securities totaled $3.8 billion, down $832.7 million and $320.1 million, respectively, over the three- and twelve-month periods. The portfolio of available-for-sale securities rose $225.6 million linked-quarter and $71.7 million year-over-year, to $724.7 million, reflecting the purchase of GSE securities.
Funding Sources
Deposits totaled $22.3 billion at December 31, 2011, up $465.1 million from the year-earlier amount. The increase was the net effect of a $927.0 million rise in NOW and money market accounts, savings accounts, and non-interest-bearing accounts (together, “core deposits”) to $14.9 billion, and a $461.9 million decline in certificates of deposit (“CDs”) to $7.4 billion.
Borrowed funds rose $424.3 million during this time, to $14.0 billion, as a $938.5 million increase in wholesale borrowings to $13.4 billion was tempered by a $514.2 million decline in other borrowings, reflecting the maturity, on December 16, 2011, of $512.0 million of fixed rate senior notes that had been issued under the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.
5
Stockholders’
Equity
Stockholders’ equity totaled $5.6 billion at December 31, 2011, up $39.5 million from the balance at December 31, 2010. The current year-end balance was equivalent to 13.24% of total assets and a book value per share of $12.73. On a linked-quarter basis, stockholders’ equity was down $7.9 million, reflecting the impact of pension and post-retirement obligations on AOCL.
Tangible stockholders’ equity totaled $3.1 billion at December 31, 2011, down $2.4 million from the September 30th balance and up $65.6 million from the balance at December 31, 2010. The current year-end amount was equivalent to 7.78% of tangible assets and a tangible book value per share of $7.04. Excluding AOCL, the ratio of adjusted tangible stockholders’ equity to adjusted tangible assets equaled 7.95% at the current year-end.(3)
The Company’s subsidiary banks also reported solid levels of capital at the end of this December, and continued to exceed the requirements for classification as “well capitalized” institutions under the FDIC Improvement Act. At December 31, 2011, New York Community Bank and New York Commercial Bank had respective Tier 1 leverage capital ratios of 8.46% and 13.01%, exceeding the minimum required for “well capitalized” classification by 346 and 801 basis points, respectively.
Earnings Summary for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011
The Company generated GAAP earnings of $117.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2011, as compared to $119.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the trailing quarter and $149.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2010. After-tax net securities gains added $678,000 to the current fourth quarter’s earnings, as compared to $4.0 million and $13.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
Excluding the after-tax net securities gains recorded in the quarter, the Company generated operating earnings of $117.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the three months ended December 31, 2011.(2)
Also included in the Company's third quarter earnings were after-tax severance charges of $1.4 million in connection with a reduction in staff early in the fourth quarter of the year. Excluding this charge and the net securities gains recorded in the quarter, the Company generated operating earnings of $117.1 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the three months ended September 30, 2011.(2)
In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company's GAAP earnings included after-tax acquisition-related costs of $3.8 million. Excluding these costs and the net securities gains recorded in the quarter, the Company generated operating earnings of $140.1 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the three months ended December 31, 2010.(2)
Net Interest Income
Net interest income totaled $300.3 million in the current fourth quarter, reflecting a linked-quarter increase of $5.3 million and a $4.7 million decrease from the year-earlier amount.
Linked-Quarter Comparison
The linked-quarter increase in net interest income was the net effect of a $3.0 million rise in interest income to $464.8 million and a $2.3 million reduction in interest expense to $164.6 million.
Among the factors contributing to the increase in interest income were a $550.6 million rise in the average balance of loans and a nine-basis point rise in the average yield on such assets, as the decline in market interest rates triggered an increase in new loan production and refinancing activity. As a result, prepayment penalty income more than doubled from the trailing-quarter level, adding $28.9 million to loan-related interest income and 39 basis points to the average yield on loans. The interest income from loans totaled $414.3 million in the quarter, a $14.2 million increase from the level produced in the third quarter of the year.
The increase in the interest income from loans was partly offset by an $11.2 million decline in the income produced by securities and money market investments, as the average balance of such assets fell $1.2 billion linked-quarter, and the average yield rose a single basis point. As a result, the average balance of interest-earning assets declined $601.5 million to $35.0 billion, while the average yield rose 12 basis points to 5.31%.
Another factor contributing to the linked-quarter increase in net interest income was the continued decline in the Company's cost of funds. Notwithstanding a $113.2 million rise in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $33.3 billion, the average cost fell four basis points to 1.96%. While the average balance of interest-bearing deposits rose $339.3 million to $20.2 billion, the average cost of such funds fell two basis points over the three-month period. Conversely, the average balance of borrowed funds fell $226.1 million to $13.1 billion, while the average cost of such funds rose a single basis point.
6
Year-Over-Year
Comparison
Although interest expense fell $11.2 million year-over-year in the current fourth quarter, the decrease was exceeded by a $16.0 million reduction in interest income during the same time.
The decline in interest income was driven by a 36-basis point drop in the average yield on interest-earning assets, as the average yield on loans fell 34 basis points from the year-earlier measure and the average yield on securities and money market investments fell 37 basis points. The impact of these reductions was partly offset by a $1.1 billion increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, as the average loan portfolio grew $764.4 million and the average balance of securities and money market investments grew $313.1 million year-over-year. In addition, prepayment penalty income added $13.8 million more to interest income in the current fourth quarter than it did in the fourth quarter of 2010.
The year-over-year decrease in interest expense was attributable to a combination of factors, including the maintenance of the federal funds rate at an historically low level, the downward repricing of the Company's interest-bearing liabilities, and reductions in the average balances of CDs and borrowed funds. As a result, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits fell 17 basis points in the current fourth quarter and the average cost of borrowed funds fell 7 basis points. While the benefit of the decline in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits was partly offset by a $127.6 million rise in the average balance, the decline in the average cost of borrowed funds was coupled with a $20.5 million decline in the average balance of such funds.
Net Interest Margin
The margin rose 12 basis points to 3.45% on a linked-quarter basis and was down 16 basis points from the measure recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010. Prepayment penalty income added 33 basis points to the current fourth quarter measure, as compared to 14 and 18 basis points, respectively, in the trailing quarter and year-earlier three months. Excluding prepayment penalty income, the Company's margin would have been 3.12% in the current fourth quarter, as compared to 3.19% and 3.43% in the three months ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.(5)
While the linked-quarter increase in the margin was primarily attributable to the rise in prepayment penalty income, the year-over-year decline was largely attributable to the reduction in market interest rates over that time.
Provisions for Loan Losses
The provision for losses on non-covered loans was $20.0 million in the current fourth quarter, up $2.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, from the amounts recorded in the trailing quarter and in the fourth quarter of 2010.
In addition, the Company recorded a $12.7 million provision for losses on covered loans in the current fourth quarter, as compared to an $11.9 million provision in the year-earlier three months. These provisions were due to credit deterioration in certain portfolios acquired in the Company’s FDIC-assisted transactions, and were largely offset by FDIC indemnification income of $10.0 million and $11.3 million, recorded in non-interest income in the corresponding periods.
Non-Interest Income
The Company has four ongoing sources of non-interest income: mortgage banking income, fee income, income from bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI"), and other income, the latter consisting primarily of revenues from the sale of third-party investment products and revenues generated by a New York Community Bank subsidiary, Peter B. Cannell & Co., Inc. In the three months ended December 31, 2011, revenues from these four ongoing sources totaled $48.6 million, as compared to $51.3 million in the trailing quarter and $69.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Mortgage banking income totaled $24.7 million in the current fourth quarter, reflecting a linked-quarter increase of $414,000 and a year-over-year reduction of $15.7 million. The linked-quarter rise was the net effect of a $7.2 million increase in servicing income and a $6.7 million decrease in income from originations of one-to-four family loans for sale. The year-over-year reduction reflects the impact of the widespread decline in new home purchases and refinancing activity from the year-earlier levels, as well as the termination of the Company’s servicing contract with the FDIC in the fourth quarter of 2010.
In addition to the revenues generated by mortgage banking income, fee income, BOLI income, and other income in the respective quarters, the Company's non-interest income included net securities gains of $1.1 million, $6.7 million, and $22.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011, September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. In the fourth quarters of 2011 and 2010, non-interest income was further increased by FDIC indemnification income of $10.0 million and $11.3 million, respectively. Including the respective net securities gains and FDIC indemnification income, non-interest income totaled $59.8 million in the current fourth quarter, as compared to $58.1 million and $103.3 million, respectively, in the trailing and year-earlier three months.
7
Non-Interest
Expense
Non-interest expense consists of operating expenses (comprised of compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment, and general and administrative, or G&A, expenses) and the amortization of core deposit intangibles ("CDI"). In the three months ended December 31, 2011, non-interest expense totaled $146.4 million, reflecting a $6.2 million reduction from the trailing-quarter level and a $1.9 million reduction from the year-earlier amount.
Operating expenses accounted for $140.9 million of non-interest expense in the current fourth quarter, reflecting a linked-quarter reduction of $5.6 million and a modest $307,000 increase year-over-year. The linked-quarter decline was primarily due to a reduction in staff early in the fourth quarter, which contributed to a $5.7 million decrease in compensation and benefits expense. Specifically, compensation and benefits expense fell to $71.2 million from $76.9 million linked-quarter; severance charges of $2.3 million were included in the trailing-quarter amount.
While compensation and benefits rose $3.9 million year-over-year, primarily reflecting normal salary increases and the distribution of certain stock award grants, the impact was largely offset by a $2.8 million decrease in G&A expense and a $789,000 decrease in occupancy and equipment expense.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense totaled $63.3 million in the current fourth quarter, reflecting a linked-quarter increase of $595,000 and a $17.9 million reduction from the year-earlier amount. While pre-tax income fell a modest $1.5 million to $180.9 million, linked-quarter, the year-over-year comparison reflects a $50.1 million decline. In addition, the effective tax rate was 35.0% in the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 34.4% and 35.1%, respectively, in the earlier periods.

Forward-Looking Statements
This earnings release and the associated conference call include forward-looking statements by the Company and our authorized officers pertaining to such matters as our goals, intentions, and expectations regarding revenues, earnings, loan production, asset quality, and acquisitions, among other matters; our estimates of future costs and benefits of the actions we may take; our assessments of probable losses on loans; our assessments of interest rate and other market risks; and our ability to achieve our financial and other strategic goals.
Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” and other similar words and expressions, and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which change over time. Additionally, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made; the Company does not assume any duty, and does not undertake, to update our forward-looking statements. Furthermore, because forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those anticipated in our statements, and our future performance could differ materially from our historical results.

Our
forward-looking statements are subject to the following principal risks
and uncertainties: general economic conditions and trends, either
nationally or locally; conditions in the securities markets; changes in
interest rates; changes in deposit flows, and in the demand for deposit,
loan, and investment products and other financial services; changes in
real estate values; changes in the quality or composition of our loan or
investment portfolios; changes in competitive pressures among financial
institutions or from non-financial institutions; our ability to retain
key members of management; our ability to successfully integrate any
assets, liabilities, customers, systems, and management personnel we may
acquire into our operations, and to realize related revenue synergies
and cost savings within expected time frames; changes in legislation,
regulations, and policies; and a variety of other matters which, by
their nature, are subject to significant uncertainties and/or are beyond
our control.
Greater detail regarding some of these factors is provided in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and our Form 10-Qs for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2011, including in the Risk Factors section of those and other SEC reports. Our forward-looking statements may also be subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those we may discuss elsewhere in this news release, our conference call, during investor presentations, or in our SEC filings, which are accessible on our web site and at the SEC’s web site, www.sec.gov.

As further discussed in the footnotes, references to “cash earnings,” “operating earnings,” “tangible assets” and “average tangible assets,” “tangible stockholders’ equity” and “average tangible stockholders’ equity,” and the related measures are non-GAAP financial measures.

RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP EARNINGS
AND OPERATING EARNINGS
(unaudited)
Although operating earnings are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we believe that our operating earnings are an important indication of our ability to generate earnings through our fundamental banking business. Since they exclude the effects of certain items that are unusual and/or difficult to predict, we believe that our operating earnings, although non-GAAP, provide useful supplemental information to both management and investors in evaluating our financial results.
Operating earnings should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities, or other income or cash flow statement data calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate our operating earnings may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
Reconciliations of our GAAP and operating earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2011, September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 follow:

RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP EARNINGS
AND CASH EARNINGS
(unaudited)
Although cash earnings are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, we believe that they are important because of their contribution to tangible stockholders’ equity. (Please see the discussion and reconciliations of stockholders’ equity and tangible stockholders’ equity that appear under “Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Capital Measures” on page 13 of this release.) We calculate cash earnings by adding back to GAAP earnings certain items that have been charged against them but that are added to, rather than subtracted from, tangible stockholders’ equity. For this reason, we believe that cash earnings, although non-GAAP, are useful to investors seeking to evaluate our financial performance and to compare our performance with other companies in the banking industry that also report cash earnings.
Cash earnings should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities, or other income or cash flow statement data calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate cash earnings may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
Reconciliations of our GAAP and cash earnings for the three months ended December 31, 2011, September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 follow:

RECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP AND
NON-GAAP CAPITAL MEASURES
(unaudited)
Although tangible stockholders’ equity, adjusted tangible stockholders’ equity, tangible assets, and adjusted tangible assets are not measures that are calculated in accordance with GAAP, management uses these non-GAAP capital measures in their analysis of our performance. We believe that these non-GAAP capital measures are an important indication of our ability to grow both organically and through business combinations, and, with respect to tangible stockholders’ equity and adjusted tangible stockholders’ equity, our ability to pay dividends and to engage in various capital management strategies.
Neither tangible stockholders’ equity, adjusted tangible stockholders’ equity, tangible assets, adjusted tangible assets, nor the related measures should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for stockholders’ equity, total assets, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate these measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
