Appendix: GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation 14 Quarter Ended March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 March 31, 2016 Net income (a) $ 169,736 $ 110,734 $ 107,516 Less: Gain on sale of the commercial property, net of tax (1) (b) (41,526 ) — — Adjusted net income (c) $ 128,210 $ 110,734 $ 107,516 Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding (d) 145,732 145,428 144,803 Diluted EPS (a)/(d) $ 1.16 $ 0.76 $ 0.74 Diluted EPS impact of gain on sale of the commercial property, net of tax (b)/(d) (0.28 ) — — Adjusted diluted EPS $ 0.88 $ 0.76 $ 0.74 Average total assets (e) $ 34,928,031 $ 34,679,137 $ 32,486,723 Average stockh lders’ equity (f) $ 3,493,396 $ 3,423,405 $ 3,181,368 Return on average assets (2) (a)/(e) 1.97 % 1.27 % 1.33 % Adjusted return on average assets (2) (c)/(e) 1.49 % 1.27 % 1.33 % Return on average equity (2) (a)/(f) 19.71 % 12.87 % 13.59 % Adjusted return on average equity (2) (c)/(f) 14.88 % 12.87 % 13.59 % (1) Applied statutory tax rate of 42.05%. (2) Annualized. As previously disclosed on the March 30, 2017 Form 8-K, the Company consummated a sale and leaseback transaction on a commercial property and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $71.7 million during the first quarter of 2017. The table below shows the computation of the diluted earnings per common share excluding the after-tax effect of the gain on sale of the commercial property, return on assets excluding the after-tax effect of the gain on sale of the commercial property and return on equity excluding the after-tax effect of the gain on sale of the commercial property. Management believes that eliminating the effects of the gain on sale of the commercial property makes it easier to analyze the results by presenting them on a more comparable basis.


 
15 Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision profitability ratio represents the aggregate of net interest income and adjusted noninterest income less adjusted noninterest expense, divided by average total assets. Adjusted noninterest income excludes the gain on sale of the commercial property (where applicable). Adjusted noninterest expense excludes the reversal of a legal accrual (where applicable), the amortization of tax credit and other investments and the amortization of core deposit intangibles. The ratios presented below provide clarity to financial statement users regarding the ongoing performance of the Company and allow comparability to prior periods. Quarter Ended March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 March 31, 2016 Net interest income before provision for credit losses (a) $ 272,122 $ 272,702 $ 252,204 Total noninterest income 116,023 48,800 40,513 Less: Gain on sale of the commercial property (71,654 ) — — Adjusted noninterest income (b) $ 44,369 $ 48,800 $ 40,513 Net interest income and adjusted noninterest income (a)+(b) = (c) $ 316,491 $ 321,502 $ 292,717 Total noninterest expense $ 153,073 $ 149,904 $ 146,606 Less: Legal accrual reversal — 13,417 — Amortization of tax credit and other investments (14,360 ) (22,667 ) (14,155 ) Amortization of core deposit intangibles (1,817 ) (1,909 ) (2,104 ) Adjusted noninterest expense (d) $ 136,896 $ 138,745 $ 130,347 Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income (c)-(d) = (e) $ 179,595 $ 182,757 $ 162,370 Average total assets (f) $ 34,928,031 $ 34,679,137 $ 32,486,723 Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision profitability ratio (1) (e)/(f) 2.09 % 2.10 % 2.01 % Adjusted noninterest expense (1)/average assets (d)/(f) 1.59 % 1.59 % 1.61 % Adjusted efficiency ratio represents adjusted noninterest expense divided by the aggregate of net interest income and adjusted noninterest income. The Company believes that presenting the adjusted efficiency ratio shows the trend in recurring overhead-related noninterest expense relative to recurring net revenues. This provides clarity to financial statement users regarding the ongoing performance of the Company and allows comparability to prior periods. Quarter Ended March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 March 31, 2016 Adjusted noninterest expense (g) $ 136,896 $ 138,745 $ 130,347 Net interest income and adjusted noninterest income (h) $ 316,491 $ 321,502 $ 292,717 Adjusted efficiency ratio (g)/(h) 43.25 % 43.16 % 44.53 % (1) Annualized.

17 The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance. Tangible equity and tangible equity to tangible assets ratios are non- GAAP disclosures. Tangible equity represents stockholders’ equity which has been reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets. Given that the use of such measures and ratios are more prevalent in the banking industry, and used by banking regulators and analysts, the Company has included them for discussion. Appendix: GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation (cont’d) March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 March 31, 2016 Stockholders’ equity $ 3,565,954 $ 3,427,741 $ 3,216,781 Less: Goodwill (469,433 ) (469,433 ) (469,433 ) Other intangible assets (1) (33,843 ) (35,670 ) (39,676 ) Tangible equity (a) $ 3,062,678 $ 2,922,638 $ 2,707,672 Total assets $ 35,342,126 $ 34,788,840 $ 33,109,169 Less: Goodwill (469,433 ) (469,433 ) (469,433 ) Other intangible assets (1) (33,843 ) (35,670 ) (39,676 ) Tangible assets (b) $ 34,838,850 $ 34,283,737 $ 32,600,060 Tangible equity to tangible assets ratio (a)/(b) 8.79 % 8.52 % 8.31 % Adjusted return on average tangible equity represents adjusted tangible net income divided by average tangible equity. Adjusted tangible net income excludes the after-tax effect of the amortization of core deposit intangibles, the after-tax effect of the amortization of mortgage servicing assets and the after-tax effect of the gain on sale of the commercial property.
