This financial measure is included as it is considered to be a critical metric to analyze and evaluate the financial condition 46 and capital strength of Heartland. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP (2) Efficiency ratio, fully tax-equivalent, expresses noninterest expenses as a percentage of fully tax-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income. This efficiency ratio is presented on a tax-equivalent basis, which adjusts net interest income and noninterest expenses for the tax favored status of certain loans, securities and historic rehabilitation tax credits.

This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP.
