14 Great Southern Bancorp. Inc | Non - GAAP Reconciliation This document contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principle s g enerally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), specifically, the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets. In calculating the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, we subtract period - end intangible assets from common equi ty and from total assets. Management believes that the presentation of this measure excluding the impact of intangible assets provides useful supplemental information that is helpful in understanding our financial condition and results of operations, as it provides a method to assess management’s success in utilizing our tangible capital as well a s o ur capital strength. Management also believes that providing a measure that excludes balances of intangible assets, which are subjective components of valuation, facilitates th e c omparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. In addition, management believes that this is a standard financial measure used in the banking ind ust ry to evaluate performance. This non - GAAP financial measurement is supplemental and is not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP financial measures. B ecause not all companies use the same calculation of non - GAAP measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as calculated by ot her companies.
