GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We originated over 7,400 Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans with an aggregate balance of approximately $1.5 billion during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31, 2022, we had outstanding PPP loans of $107.6 million, compared to $967.7 million as of March 31, 2021. Financial measures in this press release that are presented adjusted for our PPP activities are net income available to common stockholders, basic and diluted earnings per share and total loans. These financial measures exclude the impact of PPP loans, net of tax, and are considered non-GAAP financial measures. This press release also contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including tangible common stockholders’ equity, total tangible assets, tangible book value per share and tangible common equity to total tangible assets, each of which excludes goodwill and core deposit intangibles associated with our acquisition of Metro Bancshares, Inc. in January 2015. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP; however, we acknowledge that these non-GAAP financial measures have a number of limitations. As such, you should not view these disclosures as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and they are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that other companies, including those in our industry, use. The following reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of the non-GAAP financial measures as of and for the comparative periods presented in this press release. Dollars are in thousands, except share and per share data.
