Forward Looking Statements
This slide presentation and certain of our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and subject to the protections of, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through Synovus’ use of words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “assumes,” “should,” “predicts,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “intends,” “targets,” “estimates,” “projects,” “plans,” “potential” and other similar words and expressions of the future or otherwise regarding the outlook for Synovus’ future business and financial performance and/or the performance of the banking industry and economy in general. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements on (1) future loan growth; (2) future deposit growth and loan to deposit ratios; (3) future net interest income and net interest margin; (4) future adjusted non-interest income; (5) future non-interest expense levels and e?ciency ratios; (6) future credit trends and key metrics; (7) future e?ective tax rates; (8) our strategy and initiatives for future growth, capital management, strategic transactions, our brand initiative and ?nancial planning; (9) our expectations regarding the approval and closing of certain transactions, and (10) our assumptions underlying these expectations. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Synovus to be materially di?erent from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the information known to, and current beliefs and expectations of, Synovus’ management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may di?er materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual results to di?er materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements in this presentation. Many of these factors are beyond Synovus’ ability to control or predict.
These forward-looking statements are based upon information presently known to Synovus’ management and are inherently subjective, uncertain and subject to change due to any number of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the risks and other factors set forth in Synovus’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 under the captions “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” and in Synovus’ quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date that they are made. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as otherwise may be required by law.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This slide presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Such non-GAAP financial measures include the following: return on average tangible common equity (ROATCE); average core transaction deposits; cost of interest bearing core deposits; adjusted non-interest income; adjusted non-interest expense; adjusted efficiency ratio; tangible common equity ratio; and common equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio (fully phased-in). The most comparable GAAP measures to these measures are return on average common equity; total average deposits; effective cost of funds; total non-interest income; total non-interest expense; efficiency ratio; total shareholders’ equity to total assets ratio; and CET1 ratio, respectively. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to assess the performance of Synovus’ business and the strength of its capital position. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful additional information about Synovus to assist management, investors, and bank regulators in evaluating Synovus’ operating results, financial strength, the performance of its business and the strength of its capital position. However, these non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of operating results or capital position as reported under GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as additional views of the way our financial measures are affected by significant items and other factors, and since they are not required to be uniformly applied, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures at other companies. Return on average tangible common equity is a measure used by management to compare Synovus’ performance with other financial institutions because it calculates the return available to common shareholders without the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization, thereby allowing management to evaluate the performance of the business consistently. Average core transaction deposits is a measure used by management to evaluate organic growth of deposits and the quality of deposits as a funding source. The cost of interest bearing core deposits is a measure used to evaluate the cost of deposits as a funding source exclusive of brokered deposits and non-interest bearing deposits. Adjusted non-interest income is a measure used by management to evaluate non-interest income exclusive of net investment securities gains/losses and changes in fair value of private equity investments, net. Adjusted non-interest expense and the adjusted efficiency ratio are measures utilized by management to measure the success of expense management initiatives focused on reducing recurring controllable operating costs. Tangible common equity ratio and common equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio (fully phased-in) are used by management and bank regulators to assess the strength of our capital position. The computations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this slide presentation are set forth in the Appendix to this slide presentation.
