(1) This is a non-GAAP measure. We believe non-GAAP measures help investors and users of our financial information understand the effect of adjusting items on our selected reported results and provide alternate measurements of our performance, both in the current period and across periods. See our Financial Supplement, filed as Exhibit 99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K on April 22, 2025 with the SEC, “Table 15: Calculation of Regulatory Capital Measures and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation and additional information on non-GAAP measures.

(2) Pre-provision earnings is a non-GAAP metric calculated based on total net revenue less non-interest expense for the period. Management believes that this financial metric is useful in assessing the ability of a lending institution to generate income in excess of its provision for credit losses. See our Financial Supplement, filed as Exhibit 99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K on April 22, 2025 with the SEC, “Table 15: Calculation of Regulatory Capital Measures and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation and additional information on non-GAAP measures.

(3) Regulatory capital metrics as of March 31, 2025 are preliminary and therefore subject to change.
