Non-GAAP Reconciliations & Disclosures This section provides reconciliations and disclosures for non-GAAP financial measures, explaining their use and relationship to GAAP and regulatory metrics Use of Non-GAAP and Regulatory Measures This section clarifies the use of non-GAAP financial measures, such as fully taxable equivalent metrics and adjusted performance, which management deems relevant for understanding financial condition, distinguishing them from regulatory measures - Non-GAAP measures are used by management to understand financial condition, capital position, and financial performance, despite not conforming to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)[19] - Non-GAAP measures include fully taxable equivalent metrics, pre-provision net revenue (PPNR), return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE), tangible common equity (TCE) to tangible assets (TA) ratio, tangible book value per common share (TBV), and various consolidated and segment results and performance metrics adjusted for notable items[20] - Regulatory measures, such as Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), Tier 1 Capital, and risk-weighted assets, are not considered “non-GAAP” measures under U.S. financial reporting rules as long as they comply with regulatory standards, providing a meaningful basis for comparison with other similarly regulated financial institutions[21] Tangible Common Equity Reconciliation The reconciliation shows tangible common equity (non-GAAP) of $6.98 billion and tangible book value per share of $13.94 for 3Q25, with a tangible common equity to tangible assets
