Unaudited Core Earnings and Core Cash Earnings Reconciliations
(Dollars In thousands except per share amounts)
Core earnings and related data are "Non-GAAP Disclosures." These
disclosures present information which management considers useful to the
readers of this report since they present a measure of the results of the
Company's ongoing operations during the period (exclusive of gains or
losses on sales of securities and other real estate owned and other
material non-recurring items).
Core cash earnings and related data are also "Non-GAAP Disclosures." These
disclosures present information which management considers useful to the
readers of this report since they present a measure of the tangible equity
generated from operations during each period presented. Tangible
stockholders' equity is derived from stockholders' equity, with various
adjustment items that are based upon standards of the Company's primary
regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision. Tangible stockholders' equity
generation is a significant financial measure since banks are subject to
regulatory requirements involving the maintenance of minimum tangible
capital levels. A reconciliation between GAAP stockholders' equity (GAAP
capital) and tangible stockholders' equity (regulatory capital) can be
found in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
The following tables present a reconciliation of GAAP net income and both
core earnings and core cash earnings, as well as financial performance
ratios determined based upon core earnings and core cash earnings, for each
of the periods presented:
