GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non - GAAP Financial Measures 34 We recorded expenses of $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2015 related to the acquisition of Metro Bancshares, Inc. and t he merger of Metro Bank with and into the Bank, and recorded an expense of $500,000 resulting from the initial funding of reserves for unfunded loan commi tme nts as of March 31, 2015, consistent with guidance provided in the Federal Reserve Bank’s Inter - agency Policy Statement SR 06 - 17. We recorded a non - routine expense of $703,000 for the first quarter of 2014 resulting from the correction of our accounting for vested stock options previously gr ant ed to members of our advisory boards in our Dothan, Huntsville and Montgomery, Alabama markets. This change in accounting treatment is a non - cash it em and does not impact our operating activities or cash from operations. The non - GAAP financial measures included in this presentation release of our results are “core net income available to common stockholders,” “core diluted earnings per share,” “core return on average assets” , “core retu rn on average common stockholders’ equity”, “core return on average stockholders’ equity”, “core efficiency ratio”, and “core non - interest expense.” Each of these seven core financial measures excludes the impact of the merger expenses, the initial funding of a reserve for unfunded loan commitments , a nd the non - routine expense attributable to the correction of our accounting for vested stock options. None of the other periods included in thi s p resentation are affected by such non - routine expenses. “Core net income available to common stockholders” is defined as net income available to common stockholders, adjusted by the ne t effect of the non - routine expense. “Core diluted earnings per share” is defined as net income available to common stockholders, adjusted by the net effect of th e n on - routine expense, divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. “Core return on average assets” is defined as net income, adjusted by the net effect of the non - routine expense, divided by aver age total assets. “Core return on average common stockholders’ equity” is defined as net income, adjusted by the net effect of the non - routine exp ense, divided by average common stockholders’ equity. “Core return of average stockholders’ equity” is defined as net income, adjusted by the net effect of the non - routine expense, d ivided by average total stockholders’ equity. “Core efficiency ratio” is defined as non - interest expense, adjusted by the effect of the non - routine expense, divided by the su m of net interest income and non - interest income. “Core non - interest expense” is defined as non - interest expense, adjusted by the effect of the non - routine expense. We believe these non - GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that these non - GAAP fi nancial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accor dan ce with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non - GAAP financial measures that other companies, including those in our industry, use. The f ollowing reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of the non - GAAP financial measures for the twelve month comparative periods ended Decemb er 31, 2015 and 2014 included in this presentation. Dollars are in thousands, except share and per share data.
