2 Statements included in this presentation include non - GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of non - GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. The non - GAAP financial measures used in this presentation include the following: adjusted noninterest income, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted income taxes, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share. The most comparable GAAP measures to these measures are total noninterest income, total noninterest expense, income taxes, net income and diluted earnings per share. Adjusted noninterest income excludes gains and losses related to securities and OREO property held for sale. Adjusted noninterest expense excludes acquisition - related expenses and impairment and realized losses on assets held for sale. Adjusted income taxes exclude charges to remeasure deferred tax assets. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share includes all adjustments, net of tax. Management believes that non - GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers. Non - GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider Colony Bankcorp, Inc. performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. Non - GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.
