Use of Non‐GAAP Financial Measures

The measures entitled average core deposits; average core deposits excluding average time deposits; Tier 1 common equity ratio; tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio; adjusted net income per common share, diluted; adjusted pre‐tax, pre‐credit cost income; adjusted revenues; adjusted non‐interest income; and adjusted non‐interest expense are not measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and therefore are considered non‐GAAP financial measures. The most comparable GAAP measures are total average deposits; Tier 1 capital to risk‐weighted assets ratio; total shareholders' equity to total assets ratio; net income per common share, diluted; income before income taxes; total revenues; total non‐interest income; and total non‐ interest expense, respectively.

Synovus believes that these non‐GAAP financial measures provide meaningful additional information about Synovus to assist management and investors in evaluating Synovus' capital strength and the performance of its core business. These non‐GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes total average deposits; Tier 1 capital to risk‐weighted assets ratio; total shareholders' equity to total assets ratio; net income per common share, diluted; income before income taxes; total revenues; total non‐interest income; and total non‐interest expense determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures at other companies.

The computations of average core deposits; average core deposits excluding average time deposits; Tier 1 common equity ratio; tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio; adjusted net income per common share, diluted; adjusted pre‐tax, pre‐credit cost income; adjusted revenues; adjusted non‐interest income; and adjusted non‐interest expense; and the reconciliation of these measures to substitutes total average deposits; Tier 1 capital to risk‐weighted assets ratio; total shareholders' equity to total assets ratio; net income per common share, diluted; income before income taxes; total revenues; total non‐interest income; and total non‐interest expense are set forth in the tables below.

1 Per share data for prior periods has been restated to reflect the 1‐for‐7 reverse stock split which was effective on May 16, 2014.
