(22) Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of tangible equity and/or tangible book value is included on page 23. Management believes that providing certain non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful in understanding our financial performance, our performance trends and financial position. Management utilizes these measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes and management, as well as securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties, also use these measures to compare peer company operating performance. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.
