Non-GAAP Disclosure Appendix 22
Non-GAAP Disclosure Reconciliations This presentation contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). These measures include net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis; net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis excluding acquisition discount accretion on Taylor Capital loans; ratio of core non-interest income to total revenue on a fully tax equivalent basis, operating earnings, operating earnings per common share, operating return on average assets and ratio of net non-interest expense to average assets, with net gains and losses on investment securities, gain on extinguishment of debt, net gains and losses on sale of other assets, net gain on sale of loans held for sale, and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the calculations of the non-interest income and core non-interest income components of these measures, as applicable, and with contingent consideration expense and impairment charges, prepayment fees on interest-bearing liabilities, contribution to MB Financial Charitable Foundation, net gains and losses on other real estate owned, merger related expenses, loss on low to moderate income real estate investment and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation excluded from the non-interest expense components of these measures, as applicable, with tax equivalent adjustments for tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance, as applicable; cash return on average tangible common equity; ratios of tangible common equity to risk weighted assets and tangible common equity to tangible assets. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures, together with the related GAAP measures, in its analysis of our performance and in making business decisions. Management also uses these measures for peer comparisons. The tax equivalent adjustments to net interest margin, non-interest income and total revenue recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 35% tax rate. Management believes that others within the banking industry present these measures on a fully tax equivalent basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. For the same reasons, management believes the tax equivalent adjustments for tax-exempt interest income and increase in cash surrender value of life insurance are useful. Management believes that operating earnings, core and non-core non-interest income and expense are useful in assessing our operating performance and in understanding the primary drivers of our non-interest income and expense when comparing periods. Management also believes that by excluding net gains and losses on investment securities, net gains and losses on sale of other assets, gain on extinguishment of debt, net gain on sale of loans held for sale, and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation from the other (non-interest) income components and excluding impairment charges, prepayment fees on interest-bearing liabilities, contribution to MB Financial Charitable Foundation, net gains and losses on other real estate owned, merger related expenses, contingent consideration expense, loss on low to moderate income real estate investment and increase (decrease) in market value of assets held in trust for deferred compensation from the non-interest expense components of the ratio of net non-interest expense to average assets and, in the case of the income-related items, the ratio of core non-interest income to total revenue on a fully tax equivalent basis, this information better reflects our operating performance, as the excluded items do not pertain to our core business operations and their exclusion makes this information more meaningful when comparing our operating results from period to period. 23
Non-GAAP Disclosure Reconciliations (Continued) The ratios of tangible common equity to tangible assets and tangible common equity to risk-weighted assets exclude goodwill and other intangible assets, net of tax benefits, in determining tangible assets and tangible common equity. Management believes that the presentation of these measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information that is helpful in understanding our financial results, as they provide a method to assess management’s success in utilizing our tangible capital as well as our capital strength. Management also believes that providing measures that exclude balances of goodwill and other intangible assets, which are subjective components of valuation, facilitates the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. In addition, management believes that these are standard financial measures used in the banking industry to evaluate performance. The non-GAAP disclosures contained herein should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
