29 Appendix Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Financial Measures (1) Computed on a tax - equivalent basis using a federal income tax rate of 21 percent, adjusted to reflect the effect of the nondeduc tible interest expense associated with owning tax - exempt securities and loans. Management believes the presentation of this non - GAAP measure provides supplemental useful information for proper understanding of the financial results, as it enhances the comparability of income arising from taxable and nontaxable sources (2) The efficiency ratio expresses noninterest expense as a percent of fully taxable equivalent net interest income and nonintere st income, excluding specific noninterest income and expenses. Management believes the presentation of this non - GAAP measure provides supplemental useful information for proper unde rstanding of the Company’s financial performance. It is a standard measure of comparison within the banking industry.
