Banc of California, Inc. (NYSE: BANC) (“Banc of California” or the “Company”), the parent company of wholly-owned subsidiary Banc of California (the “Bank”), today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

During the second quarter, the Company completed a strategic reallocation of capital toward higher return opportunities to further strengthen long-term earnings, expand net interest margin, and increase balance sheet flexibility. The Company took three specific actions including (i) the repositioning of $2.3 billion of lower-yielding securities, (ii) initiating the sale of $827.0 million of selected commercial real estate and multi-family construction loans, and (iii) the retirement of $385.0 million of subordinated debt prior to higher contractual interest reset.

The Company transferred $2.3 billion of lower-yielding held-to-maturity securities to available-for-sale, and subsequently sold and redeployed a portion of the proceeds into higher-yielding, shorter-duration available-for-sale securities. The securities repositioning generated a 276 basis point yield pickup on redeployed balances, reduced portfolio duration, and improved the risk-weighted asset profile of the securities portfolio, all while maintaining capital ratios significantly above “well capitalized” regulatory thresholds.

The Company also commenced a targeted sale process of $827.0 million of commercial real estate and multi-family construction loans to reduce selected credit exposures and lower the potential for future credit-related earnings volatility. Following a competitive loan sale process, the Company has entered into purchase and sale agreements for the loans transferred to held-for-sale during the quarter and expects the transactions to close in the third quarter. In addition, the Company retired $385.0 million of subordinated debt prior to a significantly higher interest rate reset. Taken together, these actions are expected to immediately improve net interest margin, support higher recurring earnings, and accelerate organic capital generation.

The Company reported a net loss available to common and equivalent stockholders of $251.3 million, or $(1.61) per diluted common share, reflecting the near-term impact of these strategic actions.

Jared Wolff, Chairman & CEO of Banc of California, commented, “During the second quarter, we made a strategic decision to reallocate capital toward opportunities that we believe will enhance long-term returns for our shareholders. We implemented that strategy through three complementary actions including a securities repositioning, a targeted loan sale and the retirement of higher-cost subordinated debt, that together create a more efficient balance sheet and position the Company for even stronger long-term financial performance.”

Mr. Wolff continued, “These actions resulted in significant one-time charges, but they increase our long-term earnings power, improve capital efficiency and provide greater financial flexibility to support future growth. Just as importantly, they allow us to focus our capital on the businesses, clients and markets where we see the greatest opportunities to create shareholder value.”

Net Interest Income and Margin

Second Quarter of 2026 Compared to First Quarter of 2026

Net interest income decreased by $1.1 million to $250.5 million for the second quarter, from $251.6 million in the first quarter. This decrease was driven by an $8.3 million increase in total interest expense, offset partially by a $7.2 million increase in total interest income. The increase in interest expense was due to a $4.0 million increase in interest expense on deposits, attributable to higher average balances, and a $4.2 million increase in interest expense on our borrowings driven by higher average balances to fund loan growth and replace subordinated debt funding, following the redemption of the 3.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031 during the second quarter. The increase in interest income was driven by a $10.4 million increase from higher average loan balances and an additional day in the quarter, and a $2.3 million increase from investments and deposits in financial institutions driven by higher average balances as a result of the securities repositioning. These increases were offset partially by a $4.6 million reduction primarily related to loans placed on nonaccrual status.

Net interest margin was 3.13% for the second quarter, down 11 basis points from 3.24% for the first quarter. Upon closing of the targeted loan sale, net interest margin is expected to increase to approximately 3.30%. The decrease was primarily driven by nonaccrual interest impacts and an increase in short-term funding associated with strong loan growth and the redemption of subordinated debt, while core deposit growth strengthened toward quarter-end, improving the Company's funding profile entering the third quarter. The average total cost of funds increased to 2.14% from 2.10%, as a result of a 2 basis point increase in the average total cost of deposits to 1.80%, and a 19 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowings to 4.44%. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased to 5.18% from 5.25%, as a result of a 11 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans and leases to 5.63%.

Average total deposits increased by $299.1 million, with a $323.5 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits, offset partially by a $24.4 million decrease in average noninterest-bearing deposits. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 28.5% of average total deposits in the second quarter, down from 28.9% in the first quarter.

YTD June 30, 2026 vs YTD June 30, 2025

Net interest income increased $29.5 million to $502.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, from $472.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $41.0 million decrease in interest expense on deposits primarily due to lower interest rates following federal funds rate cuts, and an $8.8 million increase in interest income from investment securities reflecting the benefits of prior balance sheet repositioning actions and reinvestment into higher-yielding assets. These benefits were offset partially by a $10.3 million decrease in interest income from deposits in financial institutions due to lower balances and lower market interest rates, a $6.3 million increase in borrowing costs associated with funding loan growth and the subordinated debt redemption in the second quarter of 2026, and a $3.6 million decrease in loan interest income primarily attributable to a reversal of previously accrued interest on loans placed on nonaccrual status, offset partially by the benefit of higher average loan balances.

The net interest margin was 3.18% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, up 9 basis points from 3.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by a 30 basis point decrease in the average total cost of funds to 2.12%, offset partially by a 20 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.21%.

The average total cost of funds decreased by 30 basis points to 2.12%, driven mainly by lower market interest rates. The average cost of deposits declined by 33 basis points to 1.79%, reflecting the impact of federal funds rate cuts in the second half of 2025. Average total deposits increased by $356.0 million year over year, as a result of a $229.2 million increase in average noninterest-bearing deposits and a $126.8 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 28.7% of average total deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2026, up from 28.2% for the comparable period in 2025. The average cost of borrowings also decreased by 60 basis points to 4.52%, reflecting the paydown of higher-cost borrowings in the prior year and their replacement with lower-cost long-term Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances.

The average yield on interest-earning assets declined by 20 basis points to 5.21%, due primarily to a 23 basis point decline in the average yield on loans and leases.

Provision For Credit Losses

Second Quarter of 2026 Compared to First Quarter of 2026

The provision for credit losses was $161.8 million for the second quarter compared to $9.8 million for the first quarter. The increase was primarily driven by $161.6 million of charge-offs, the impact of loan growth and higher loss given default rates on commercial real estate and multi-family construction loans, offset partially by improved risk ratings for our held for investment ("HFI") portfolio. The increase in net charge-offs in the quarter related primarily to the transfer of $827.0 million of loans to held for sale ("HFS") in connection with the targeted loan sale process. The transfer required the loans to be recorded at lower of cost or market value, resulting in charge-offs and additional provision expense during the quarter.

The first quarter provision for loan losses and unfunded loan commitments was primarily driven by net charge off activity and changes in loan risk ratings including specific reserves, offset partially by lower balances in the HFI portfolio and lower qualitative reserves.

YTD June 30, 2026 vs YTD June 30, 2025

The provision for credit losses was $171.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $48.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The provision for 2026 included a provision for loan losses of $171.8 million, including the impact of the proposed targeted loan sale process, offset by a $2.0 million reduction in provision for unfunded loan commitments.

The provision for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included the impact of $506.7 million of loans transferred to HFS and recorded at the lower of cost or market value. The remaining increase in the provision for loan losses and unfunded loan commitments was primarily driven by net charge-off activity experienced in the first half of the year, with additional impacts from changes in loan risk ratings, and higher unfunded commitments. These were offset partially by lower qualitative reserves, lower specific reserves, and a favorable shift in the portfolio mix due to growth in loan segments with lower expected credit losses.

Noninterest Income

Second Quarter of 2026 Compared to First Quarter of 2026

Noninterest income decreased by $269.4 million, resulting in a loss of $234.1 million for the second quarter, compared to noninterest income of $35.3 million for the first quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by a $256.7 million pre-tax loss recognized as part of the securities repositioning, and a $12.5 million loss recorded as part of the lower of cost or market adjustment on HFS loans. Also included in noninterest income was a $3.1 million loss related to the redemption of $385.0 million aggregate principal amount of subordinated notes during the quarter. The loss was offset partially by a $3.8 million gain recognized on the sale of the Company's single-family mortgage servicing rights portfolio, which serviced approximately $1.35 billion of underlying loans.

YTD June 30, 2026 vs YTD June 30, 2025

Noninterest income decreased by $265.1 million to a loss of $198.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to income of $66.3 million for the same period 2025. The year-to-date decrease was primarily attributable to the $256.7 million pre-tax loss recognized as part of the securities repositioning, and a $12.5 million lower of cost or market adjustment on the HFS loans, as discussed above.

Noninterest Expense

Second Quarter of 2026 Compared to First Quarter of 2026

Noninterest expense increased by $8.5 million to $189.9 million for the second quarter from $181.4 million for the first quarter, primarily reflecting a $7.7 million increase in insurance and assessment due to a higher FDIC assessment rate resulting from the balance sheet repositioning and its effect on assessment-related metrics and a $5.0 million increase in other expense related mainly to software obsolescence charges. These increases were offset partially by a $6.0 million decrease in compensation expense due to seasonal payroll related costs recognized in the first quarter.

YTD June 30, 2026 vs YTD June 30, 2025

Noninterest expense increased by $1.7 million to $371.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $369.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is primarily due to a $6.3 million increase in other expense related mainly to software obsolescence charges, a $4.6 million increase in insurance and assessment due to the higher assessment rate resulting from the balance sheet repositioning, and a $2.5 million increase in loans expense related to legal fees. These increases were offset partially by a $6.5 million decrease in customer related expenses primarily due to federal fund rate cuts in the fourth quarter of 2025 and a $3.0 million decrease in leased equipment depreciation.

Income Taxes

Second Quarter of 2026 Compared to First Quarter of 2026

Income tax benefit of $93.9 million was recorded for the second quarter, resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.0%, compared to income tax expense of $23.8 million and an effective tax rate of 24.9% for the first quarter. The second quarter tax rate reflects the effects of the Company's balance sheet repositioning actions. Due to the significant impact of these actions on projected annual earnings, the Company calculated its second quarter income tax provision using a year to date effective tax rate approach rather than the estimated annual effective tax rate method.

YTD June 30, 2026 vs YTD June 30, 2025

Income tax benefit of $70.1 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2026, resulting in an effective tax rate of 29.3%, compared to income tax expense of $39.0 million and effective tax rate of 32.2% for the same period 2025. The decrease in effective tax rate from 2025 to 2026 is due primarily to the impact of deferred tax asset revaluation recorded following the California state tax changes passed as part of the 2025 California budget enacted on June 30, 2025.

Securities

As part of the securities repositioning, the Company reclassified its entire held-to-maturity ("HTM") securities portfolio with an aggregate amortized cost basis of $2.3 billion to available-for-sale ("AFS") securities and subsequently sold primarily all of the securities. The $2.3 billion of securities sold had an average yield of approximately 2.1% and were sold at a pre-tax loss of $251.3 million. The transaction improved the Company's earning-asset mix by facilitating the redeployment of proceeds into higher-yielding assets while enhancing balance sheet flexibility. As of June 30, 2026 we reinvested $1.7 billion at a weighted average yield of 4.87%, which resulted in a 276 basis point yield pickup on redeployed balances.

AFS securities increased by $1.8 billion during the second quarter to $4.5 billion at June 30, 2026 compared to $2.7 billion at March 31, 2026, due primarily to the transfer of HTM securities to AFS of $2.3 billion and purchases of $1.9 billion, offset partially by the sale of $2.3 billion, as part of the securities repositioning, $116.9 million of principal paydowns, $16.7 million of maturities, $8.2 million decrease in the fair value of AFS securities, and $2.0 million of net amortization. As of June 30, 2026, AFS securities had aggregate unrealized net after-tax losses in AOCI of $145.3 million, up from $143.3 million at March 31, 2026, driven by higher interest rates.

As of June 30, 2026, there are no HTM securities.

Total loans and leases HFI decreased by $569.5 million in the second quarter to $24.2 billion at June 30, 2026. The decline reflected, in part, the transfer of $827.0 million of loans to HFS in connection with the balance sheet repositioning, including $491.9 million of multi-family loans, $300.6 million of multi-family construction loans, and $34.5 million of commercial real estate mortgage loans. Excluding the impact of the loans transferred to HFS, the Company continued to generate loan growth in other residential real estate mortgage loans, venture capital loans, and asset-based lending portfolios. Loan production and disbursements totaled $2.8 billion in the second quarter with a weighted average interest rate on production of 6.39%.

Total loans and leases HFS increased by $656.1 million in the second quarter and totaled $915.2 million at June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily driven by the Company's targeted loan sale process discussed above.

Credit quality metrics improved from the first quarter, primarily reflecting the transfer of certain loans to HFS as part of the balance sheet repositioning. Nonperforming, classified, and special mention loans and leases as a percentage of total loans held for investment increased 9 basis points, and decreased 99 basis points and 154 basis points, respectively.

At June 30, 2026, total delinquent loans and leases were $173.7 million, compared to $345.1 million at March 31, 2026. The 30 to 89 days delinquent category decreased by $140.7 million in residential real estate construction and land loans, $32.9 million in commercial real estate construction and land loans, and $32.8 million in multi-family real estate mortgage loans, offset partially by increases of $27.9 million in other residential real estate mortgage loans. In the 90 or more days delinquent category, there were increases of $11.8 million in other commercial loans and $9.1 million in multi-family real estate mortgage loans, offset partially by decreases of $23.2 million in commercial real estate loans.

At June 30, 2026, nonperforming loans and leases were $203.7 million, compared to $185.7 million at March 31, 2026. During the second quarter, nonperforming loans and leases increased by $18.0 million due to additions of $391.7 million, offset partially by transfers to loans HFS of $248.0 million, charge-offs of $91.8 million, paydowns of $32.4 million, and transfers to accrual status of $1.5 million.

At June 30, 2026, nonperforming assets were $220.0 million, or 0.63% of total assets, compared to $203.8 million, or 0.59% of total assets, as of March 31, 2026. At June 30, 2026, nonperforming assets included $16.3 million of foreclosed assets, consisting primarily of single-family residences.

The allowance for credit losses - loans, which includes the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, totaled $276.2 million, or 1.14% of total loans and leases at June 30, 2026, compared to $276.5 million, or 1.12% of total loans and leases at March 31, 2026. The $0.3 million decrease in the allowance was driven by net charge-offs of $160.3 million, largely associated with loans transferred to HFS during the quarter, offset partially by the provision of $160.0 million.

Our ability to absorb credit losses is also bolstered by (i) $105.0 million of loss coverage from the credit-linked notes, pursuant to which the bank sold the first 5% of any losses on $2.1 billion of single-family residential mortgage loans in our portfolio; and (ii) unearned credit marks of $12.9 million on approximately $1.2 billion of purchased loans without credit deterioration. When the loss coverage from the credit-linked notes and unearned credit marks is added to our allowance for credit losses, this provides additional economic coverage on top of our ACL ratio. We refer to this adjusted ACL ratio as our economic coverage ratio (1), which equaled 1.63% of total loans and leases at June 30, 2026 compared to 1.60% at March 31, 2026.

The ACL coverage of nonperforming loans and leases was 136% at June 30, 2026 compared to 149% at March 31, 2026.

Net charge-offs were 2.54% of average loans and leases (annualized) for the second quarter, compared to net charge-offs of 0.23% for the first quarter.

Total deposits increased by $799.0 million to $28.1 billion at June 30, 2026 from $27.3 billion at March 31, 2026, driven by an increase in interest-bearing deposits of $838.5 million and a decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits of $39.4 million. Interest-bearing deposits increased due mainly to higher balances in checking accounts of $560.9 million and higher money market accounts of $493.2 million, offset partially by lower savings accounts of $156.5 million and lower brokered and non-brokered time deposits of $59.1 million.

At June 30, 2026, noninterest-bearing checking deposits totaled $7.8 billion, or 28% of total deposits, compared to $7.8 billion, or 29% of total deposits, at March 31, 2026.

At June 30, 2026, uninsured and uncollateralized deposits totaled $7.6 billion, or 27% of total deposits, compared to $7.8 billion, or 28% of total deposits, at March 31, 2026.

In addition to deposit products, we also offer alternative, non-depository corporate treasury solutions for select clients to invest excess liquidity. These off-balance sheet client funds totaled $1.0 billion as of June 30, 2026 and $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2026.

Borrowings

Borrowings decreased by $90.9 million to $2.5 billion at June 30, 2026 from $2.6 billion at March 31, 2026, driven primarily by the repayment of a long-term FHLB advance.

Subordinated Debt

On May 1, 2026, the Company redeemed all $385 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 3.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031 originally issued by Pacific Western Bank. The remaining unamortized discount and debt issuance costs were recorded as a loss on redemption of subordinated notes in noninterest income. As a result of the redemption, subordinated debt decreased to $573.6 million at June 30, 2026, from $954.1 million at March 31, 2026.

Equity

During the second quarter, total stockholders’ equity decreased by $143.2 million to $3.4 billion and tangible common equity (1) decreased by $136.8 million to $2.6 billion at June 30, 2026. The decrease in total stockholders’ equity for the second quarter resulted primarily from net losses of $241.3 million and common and preferred stock dividends of $29.3 million, offset partially by a decrease in the unrealized after-tax net loss in AOCI for AFS and HTM securities of $125.3 million.

At June 30, 2026, book value per common share decreased to $18.38 compared to $19.80 at March 31, 2026, and tangible book value per common share (1) decreased to $16.44 compared to $17.77 at March 31, 2026. The decrease primarily reflected the repositioning actions completed during the quarter.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 1,709,935 shares of common and common equivalent stock at a weighted average price per share of $18.68, or $31.9 million in the aggregate. As of June 30, 2026, $82.6 million remained available under the current stock repurchase authorization, which expires in March 2027.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “Safe-Harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to our expectations regarding the performance of our business, liquidity and capital ratios; the anticipated benefits of our strategic repositioning including, among others, a strengthened credit profile, possible net interest income and net interest margin expansion and an enhanced earnings profile; and other non-historical statements. Words or phrases such as “believe,” “will,” “should,” “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” “plans,” “strategy,” or similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These statements are necessarily subject to risk and uncertainty and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated due to various factors, including those set forth from time to time in the documents filed or furnished by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release any revision or update to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made, except as required by law.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated or projected include, but are not limited to: (i) changes in general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, including the impact of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and the risk of recession or an economic downturn; (ii) changes in the interest rate environment, including the recent and potential future changes in the FRB benchmark rate, which could adversely affect our revenue and expenses, the value of assets and obligations, the realization of deferred tax assets, the availability and cost of capital and liquidity, and the impacts of continuing or renewed inflation; (iii) the credit risks of lending activities, which may be affected by deterioration in real estate markets and the financial condition of borrowers, and the operational risk of lending activities, including the effectiveness of our underwriting practices and the risk of fraud, any of which may lead to increased loan delinquencies, losses, and non-performing assets, and may result in our allowance for credit losses not being adequate; (iv) fluctuations in the demand for loans, and fluctuations in commercial and residential real estate values in our market area; (v) the quality and composition of our securities portfolio; (vi) our ability to develop and maintain a strong core deposit base, including among our venture banking clients, or other low cost funding sources necessary to fund our activities particularly in a rising or high interest rate environment; (vii) the rapid withdrawal of a significant amount of demand deposits over a short period of time; (viii) our ability to achieve or maintain the anticipated benefits of our strategic repositioning due to one or more of the other factors described herein or otherwise, or the failure to complete our anticipated loan sales due to a condition to closing not being satisfied or otherwise; (ix) our ability to raise capital or incur debt on reasonable terms; (x) the costs and effects of litigation; (xi) risks related to the Company’s acquisitions, including disruption to current plans and operations; difficulties in customer and employee retention; fees, expenses and charges related to these transactions being significantly higher than anticipated; and our inability to achieve expected revenues, cost savings, synergies, and other benefits; (xii) the competitive and other impacts on our business of emerging technologies, including stablecoins and other digital currencies, tokenized deposits, blockchain, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and related innovations affecting both the Company and the banking industry; (xiii) results of examinations by regulatory authorities of the Company and the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, limit our business activities, restrict our ability to invest in certain assets, refrain from issuing an approval or non-objection to certain capital or other actions, increase our allowance for credit losses, result in write-downs of asset values, restrict our ability or that of our bank subsidiary to pay dividends, or impose fines, penalties or sanctions; (xiv) legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business, including changes in tax laws and policies, accounting policies and practices, privacy laws, and regulatory capital or other rules; (xv) the risk that our enterprise risk management framework may not be effective in mitigating risk and reducing the potential for losses; (xvi) errors in estimates of the fair values of certain of our assets and liabilities, as well as the value of collateral supporting our loans, which may result in significant changes in valuation or recoveries; (xvii) cybersecurity threats and failures or security breaches with respect to the network, applications, vendors and computer systems on which we depend; (xviii) our ability to attract and retain key members of our senior management team; (xix) the effects of climate change, severe weather events, natural disasters such as earthquakes and wildfires, pandemics, epidemics and other public health crises, military activity (including the ongoing Iran war) or acts of terrorism, and other external events on our business; (xx) the impact of bank failures or other adverse developments at other banks on general depositor and investor sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks; (xxi) the possibility that our recorded goodwill could become impaired, which may have an adverse impact on our earnings and capital; (xxii) our existing indebtedness, together with any future incurrence of additional indebtedness, could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital and to meet our debt obligations; (xxiii) changes in market conditions or strategic balance sheet actions, which may result in realized losses on investment securities or other assets; (xxiv) the effects of any damage to our reputation resulting from developments related to any of the items identified above; and (xxv) other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services and the other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and from time to time in other documents that we file with or furnish to the SEC.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

We refer to certain financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in this press release, including: tangible common equity, tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common equity, pre-tax pre-provision income, efficiency ratio, and economic coverage ratio. These non-GAAP measures are used by management in its analysis of the Company's performance.

Tangible common equity is calculated by subtracting preferred stock, as applicable, from total common equity. Return on average tangible common equity is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders, after adjustment for amortization of intangible assets and any goodwill impairment, by average tangible common equity. Banking regulators also exclude goodwill and other intangible assets from stockholders' equity when assessing the capital adequacy of a financial institution.

Pre-tax pre-provision income is calculated by subtracting noninterest expense from total revenue, which is the sum of net interest income and noninterest income.

Efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing noninterest expense (less intangible asset amortization and acquisition, integration and reorganization costs) by total revenue (the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, less gain (loss) on securities AFS).

Economic coverage ratio is calculated by dividing the allowance for credit losses adjusted for the impact of the credit-linked notes and unearned credit mark from purchase accounting by loans and leases HFI.

Management believes the presentation of these financial measures adjusting the impact of these items provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the financial results and operating performance of the Company. This disclosure should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

The following tables provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to financial measures defined by GAAP.
