Section 2 – Financial Information

 

Item 2.02 Results of Operation and Financial Condition

 

  (a) On January 27, 2015, United Community Financial Corp. issued a press release announcing its results of operations for the fourth quarter of 2014. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.

 

  (b) We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as pretax core earnings, to provide information for investors to effectively analyze financial trends of ongoing business activities, and to enhance comparability with peers across the financial sector. We believe pretax core earnings is useful because it is a measure utilized by regulators, market analysts and investors in evaluating a Company’s financial condition and capital strength. Pretax core earnings, as defined by us, represents net income minus tax benefits and prepayment penalties. A reconciliation form our GAAP net income to core earnings is presented below:
