APPENDIX


 
Appendix: GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation 15 EAST WEST BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION ($ in thousands) (unaudited) During the first quarter of 2017, the Company consummated a sale and leaseback transaction on a commercial property and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $71.7 million. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted, which resulted in an additional income tax expense of $41.7 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company sold its Desert Community Bank (“DCB”) branches and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $31.5 million. Management believes that presenting the computations of the adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per common share, adjusted return on average assets and adjusted return on average equity that exclude the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and after-tax gains on the sales of the commercial property and DCB branches (where applicable) provides clarity to financial statement users regarding the ongoing performance of the Company and allows comparability to prior periods.

16 EAST WEST BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION ($ in thousands) (unaudited) Adjusted efficiency ratio represents adjusted noninterest expense divided by adjusted revenue. Adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision profitability ratio represents the aggregate of adjusted revenue less adjusted noninterest expense, divided by average total assets. Adjusted revenue represents the aggregate of net interest income and adjusted noninterest income, where adjusted noninterest income excludes the gains on the sales of the commercial property and DCB branches (where applicable). Adjusted noninterest expense excludes the amortization of tax credit and other investments, and the amortization of core deposit intangibles (where applicable). Management believes that the measures and ratios presented below provide clarity to financial statement users regarding the ongoing performance of the Company and allow comparability to prior periods.
