Efficiency
ratio
is
defined
by
the
Federal
Reserve
guidance
as
noninterest
expense
divided
by
the
sum
of
net
interest
income
plus
noninterest
income,
excluding
investment
securities
gains
/
losses,
net.
Efficiency
ratio,
fully
taxable
equivalent,
is
noninterest
expense,
excluding
other
intangible
amortization,
divided
by
the
sum
of
taxable
equivalent
net
interest
income
plus
noninterest
income,
excluding
investment
securities
gains
/
losses,
net
and
asset
gains
/
losses,
net.
This
efficiency
ratio
is
presented
on
a
taxable
equivalent
basis,
which
adjusts
net
interest
income
for
the
tax-favored
status
of
certain
loans
and
investment
securities.
Management
believes
this
measure
to
be
the
preferred
industry
measurement
of
net
interest
income
as
it
enhances
the
comparability
of
net
interest
income
arising
from
taxable
and
tax-exempt
sources
and it
excludes
certain
specific
revenue
items
(such
as
investment
securities
gains
/
losses,
net
and
asset
gains
/
losses,
net).
Definition
of
Tier
1
Common
Equity:
Common
Equity
Tier
1
(CET1),
a
non-GAAP
financial
measure,
is
used
by
banking
regulators,
investors
and
analysts
to
assess
and
compare
the
quality
and
composition
of
our
capital
with
the
capital
of
other
financial
services
companies.
Management
uses
Tier
1
common
equity,
along
with
other
capital
measures,
to
assess
and
monitor
our
capital
position.
Common
Equity
Tier
1
is
Tier
1
capital
excluding
qualifying
perpetual
preferred
stock
and
qualifying
trust
preferred
securities.
