NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Bank uses these non-GAAP financial measures, specifically return on average common stockholders' equity, return on average tangible common stockholders' equity, tangible book value per common share, total common stockholders' equity, total tangible common stockholders' equity, the ratio of total tangible common stockholders' equity to total tangible assets, and PPNR, to assess the strength of its capital, its ability to generate earnings on tangible capital invested by its shareholders and trends in its net revenue. These measures adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude certain financial measures, such as, preferred stock, goodwill, provision for income taxes, provision for credit loses, and other measures. Management believes presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information which contributes to a proper understanding of the financial results and capital levels of the Bank. These non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other banks. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables at the end of this release under the caption "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

(1) The interest expense and the rates paid related to "other borrowings" include capitalized interest which totaled $0.8 million and $2.3 million for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024. Capitalized interest was not material for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023. Excluding capitalized interest from the "other borrowings" expense calculation would result in a rate of 4.76% and 5.12% for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024.
(2) Core spread is the difference between the yield on the Bank's loans-FTE and the rate on its interest bearing deposits.
