our acquisition of Beneficial Bancorp, Inc. (Beneficial) on March
1, 2019, and include $18.9 million (pre-tax), or approximately

costs in 3Q 2019, compared with $3.8 million, or approximately
$0.11 per share, in 3Q 2018. In addition, during 3Q 2019 we
recorded $21.3 million (pre-tax), or approximately $0.31 per share,
of unrealized gains on our investment in VISA Class B shares,
compared with $7.0 million, or approximately $0.17 per share, of
realized and unrealized gains in 3Q 2018.

Highlights for 3Q 2019:
- Core ROA(1) was 1.66% in 3Q 2019
compared to 1.73% for 3Q 2018.
- Core EPS(1) was $0.98 in 3Q 2019 compared to $0.96 for 3Q
2018.
- Core net revenue(1) of $161.8 million increased $63.8 million,
or 65%, from 3Q 2018, including a $57.7 million, or 92%, increase
in core net interest income(1) reflecting strong organic and
acquisition growth, and a $6.1 million, or 18%, increase in core
fee income (noninterest income)(1).
- Core noninterest expense(1) increased $34.1 million, or 60%,
from 3Q 2018 supporting core net revenue growth of $63.8 million,
or 65%, continuing to reflect economies of scale from the
Beneficial acquisition and disciplined cost management, and
resulting in a core efficiency ratio(1) of 55.9% and positive
operating leverage.
- WSFS repurchased $40.6 million, or 959,300 shares, of our
common stock during 3Q 2019. We have 1,906,338 shares, or
approximately 4% of outstanding shares, remaining to repurchase
under the current authorization.
- For additional information
regarding our core results, net interest margin, and loan and
deposit growth, please refer to the 3Q 2019 Earnings Release
Supplement available in the Investor Relations section of WSFS'
website (www.wsfsbank.com).
(1) As used in this press release, core
ROA, core EPS, core net revenue, core net interest income, core fee
income (noninterest income), core noninterest expense, and core
efficiency ratio are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP
measures exclude securities gains, realized/unrealized gains on
equity investments, corporate development and restructuring
expense, and recoveries of legal settlement and fraud loss. For a
reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP measures to their
comparable GAAP measures, see “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” at the end
of this press release.
Notable items in the quarter:
- WSFS recorded unrealized gains of
$21.3 million (pre-tax), or approximately $0.31 per share related
to our investment in Visa Class B shares, compared with $7.0
million, or approximately $0.17 per share, in realized and
unrealized gains related to Visa Class B shares in 3Q 2018. Since
our adoption of ASU 2016-01 in 1Q 2018, cumulative realized and
unrealized gains on Visa Class B shares total $50.1 million. This
gain is excluded from our core results.
- WSFS recorded $18.9 million (pre-tax), or approximately $0.27
per share (after-tax), of net corporate development and
restructuring costs related to our acquisition of Beneficial,
compared with $3.8 million, or approximately $0.11 per share, in 3Q
2018. The merger-to-date and 3Q 2019 amounts are consistent with
our original expectations. These costs are excluded from our core
results.
- Net interest income included $1.7
million due to the impact of a $2.0 billion noninterest bearing,
capital markets-related trust deposit held for 15 days during the
third quarter, and which was withdrawn as expected before the end
of the quarter. This institutional trust deposit reflects our
diversified business model and demonstrates our ability to
successfully execute large, complex transactions on behalf of our
customers. This deposit also resulted in a $329.5 million increase
to average assets and an approximately 6 bps decrease to net
interest margin in the quarter.
CEO outlook and commentary
Rodger Levenson, President and CEO, said, “After
a year of diligent planning and preparation, we successfully and
smoothly completed our systems and branding conversion during the
third quarter, which represents the final major milestone in the
integration phase of our combination with Beneficial. We continue
to execute on the growth and synergy opportunities from our
combination as the largest, full-service, full-product locally
headquartered bank in the greater Delaware Valley.
“Our results through 3Q 2019 reflect our
continued execution of the goals in our Strategic Plan. We
completed our acquisition of Beneficial according to our planned
timeline, and the initial results of the acquisition reflect
positive performance compared to our original expectations. We are
encouraged by the opportunities ahead of us as a combined
organization with a broader footprint. Our balanced business model
and disciplined cost management have delivered core ROA of 1.66% in
3Q 2019 and 1.61% year to date, positioning us well to meet or
exceed our full-year strategic goals, including a core ROA of
greater than 1.50% for full-year 2019.
“Also during the third quarter, we were honored
to receive two major awards from the American Bankers Association
for our ‘Icons’ video, which is one of several multimedia creative
pieces we rolled out in recent months as part of a brand awareness
campaign coinciding with our expansion into the City of
Philadelphia, and surrounding suburbs in southeastern Pennsylvania
and southern New Jersey.
“Finally, we were named a top workplace in
Delaware for the fourteenth consecutive year in The News Journal’s
‘Top Workplaces’ survey, earning first place in the large company
category; we were also named to the 'Soaring 76' for the third year
in a row by the Philadelphia Business Journal, recognizing us as
one of the 76 fastest growing companies in the greater Philadelphia
region. Both of these awards reflect our commitment to our
strategy, Associates and Customers across the Delaware Valley.”
Third Quarter 2019 Discussion of
Financial Results
Net interest margin impacted by purchase
accretion and interest rate environment
Net interest income in 3Q 2019 was $120.8
million, an increase of $57.7 million, or 92%, compared to 3Q 2018.
Net interest margin for 3Q 2019 was a strong 4.38%, an increase of
27 bps from 4.11% for 3Q 2018. The year-over-year increase included
approximately 40 bps of higher purchase accounting accretion
partially offset by approximately 7 basis points of expected margin
compression due to Beneficial's lower-margin balance sheet and
approximately 6 basis points from the $2.0 billion short-term trust
deposit described above.
Net interest income decreased $2.4 million, or
2% (not annualized), from $123.2 million in 2Q 2019. Net interest
margin decreased 30 bps to 4.38% from 4.68% in 2Q 2019. The
quarter-over-quarter decrease included approximately 10 bps from
lower purchase accounting accretion, approximately 10 bps resulting
from the current rate environment, and 6 bps from the impact of the
$2.0 billion short-term trust deposit.
Loans reflect acquisition and organic
growth, offset by run-off portfolios

At September 30, 2019, WSFS’ net loan
portfolio decreased $71.3 million when compared with June 30,
2019. The decrease includes a $100.8 million decline in run-off
portfolios primarily acquired from Beneficial, which consist of
residential mortgages, auto and student loans, CRE participations
and C&I leveraged loan participations. We continue to execute
our strategy of selling most newly originated residential mortgages
in the secondary market, and allowing the loans described above to
run off. Excluding the run-off portfolios, net loans increased
$29.5 million during the quarter, including consumer loans, which
increased $26.9 million, or 9% (annualized), primarily due to loans
originated through our partnership with Spring EQ. Residential
mortgages increased $17.8 million, primarily due to high loan
origination volume during the quarter. C&I loans increased
$12.4 million, primarily due to a robust $225.4 million of newly
funded loans during the quarter, partially offset by elevated
payoffs and paydowns, resulting from the current interest rate and
competitive pricing environments. Partially offsetting these
increases, construction loans decreased $27.4 million, or 20%
(annualized) during the quarter.
Compared to September 30, 2018, net loans
increased $3.6 billion, which includes $3.7 billion of net loans
acquired from Beneficial on March 1, 2019. Excluding the acquired
loans from Beneficial and a $271.5 million purposeful decline in
the run-off portfolios described above, year-over year growth of
$173.2 million resulted from strong consumer loan growth of $94.7
million, or 14%, driven by second-lien home equity installment
loans originated through our partnership with Spring EQ and student
loans though our partnership with LendKey, an increase of $96.4
million from growth in our residential mortgage business, and an
increase of $17.1 million or 1%, in C&I loans, due to robust
growth in newly funded loans, partially offset by elevated payoffs
and paydowns caused by the current interest rate and competitive
pricing environments. These increases were partially offset by a
decrease of $28.5 million in our construction portfolio.
Credit quality metrics remain strong and
stable
Credit quality metrics during 3Q 2019 remain
stable in comparison with 2Q 2019, and demonstrate consistent
trends in both the originated and acquired loan portfolios.
Total problem assets, which includes all
criticized, classified, and nonperforming loans as well as other
real estate owned (OREO), were $222.7 million at September 30,
2019 compared to $219.7 million at June 30, 2019. Total
problem assets to total Tier 1 capital plus ALLL was 16.29% at
September 30, 2019, compared to 16.78% at June 30, 2019.
The Company’s ratio of classified assets to total Tier 1 capital
plus ALLL was 13.79% at September 30, 2019, compared to 13.77%
at June 30, 2019.
Total delinquencies, which include nonperforming
delinquencies, were $66.6 million at September 30, 2019, or
0.78%, of gross loans, compared to $67.5 million, or 0.78% of gross
loans at June 30, 2019. Excluding nonperforming delinquencies,
performing loan delinquencies were only 0.62% of gross loans at
September 30, 2019, compared to 0.54% at June 30, 2019.
Included in total delinquencies were $18.8 million of delinquent,
but still accruing, U.S. government-guaranteed student loans that
carry little risk of credit loss.
Total nonperforming assets were $56.2 million at
September 30, 2019 compared to $55.5 million at June 30,
2019. The nonperforming assets to total assets ratio was 0.46% at
September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019.
Net charge-offs for 3Q 2019 were $1.8 million,
or 0.09% (annualized), of average gross loans, a decrease from
$13.2 million, or 0.61% (annualized), for 2Q 2019, due to elevated
charge-offs in 2Q 2019, and $2.9 million, or 0.24% (annualized),
during 3Q 2018. Total credit costs (provision for loan losses, loan
workout expenses, OREO expenses and other credit costs), which can
be uneven, were $5.0 million in 3Q 2019, $13.6 million in 2Q 2019
and $3.7 million in 3Q 2018.
The ratio of the ALLL to total gross loans was
0.56% at September 30, 2019, an increase from 0.53% at
June 30, 2019. Excluding the balances for acquired loans
(which are marked to market at acquisition), the ALLL to total
gross loans ratio would have been 1.00% at September 30, 2019
compared with 0.99% at June 30, 2019. The ALLL was 124% of
nonaccruing loans at September 30, 2019 compared to 121% at
June 30, 2019 and 114% at September 30, 2018.

Total customer funding was $9.3 billion at
September 30, 2019, a $19.4 million increase from
June 30, 2019. Core deposits were $8.0 billion at
September 30, 2019, an increase of $48.5 million, or 2%
(annualized), over the prior quarter. No- and low-cost checking
deposit accounts increased $163.9 million including $177.6 million
from seasonally higher public funding deposits and $105.0 million
due to higher institutional trust deposits, partially offset by
anticipated Beneficial attrition. Savings balances decreased $62.2
million, which was also primarily due to expected Beneficial
attrition. Money markets decreased $53.3 million, primarily due to
lower trust-related deposits, and time deposits decreased $29.1
million, primarily due to CD maturities.
Customer funding increased $3.9 billion compared
to September 30, 2018. Excluding the $3.7 billion of customer
funding acquired from Beneficial, customer funding increased $185.1
million, or 3%. Core deposits increased $272.2 million, or 6%, over
the prior year, including a $348.8 million increase in no- and
low-cost checking deposit accounts, partially offset by a decrease
of $82.8 million in savings deposits. Time deposits decreased $87.2
million, primarily due to CD maturities.
Core deposits were a strong 86% of total
customer deposits, and no- and low-cost checking deposit accounts
represented a robust 48% of total customer deposits at
September 30, 2019. These core deposits predominantly
represent longer-term, less price-sensitive customer relationships.
The ratio of loans to customer deposits was 92% at
September 30, 2019.
Core fee income reflects diversification
and growth over the prior year
Core fee income (noninterest income) was $41.0
million, an increase of $6.1 million, or 18%, compared to 3Q 2018,
including an increase of $4.3 million from traditional
banking-related fee income, primarily related to Beneficial, and an
increase of $1.6 million from our mortgage banking business.
When compared to 2Q 2019, core fee income
decreased $0.8 million, or 2% (not annualized), primarily due to a
$0.7 million decrease in gains on sale of SBA loans, which can be
uneven.
For 3Q 2019, core fee income was 25.3% of core
net revenue, compared to 35.5% for 3Q 2018, and was diversified
among various sources, including traditional banking, mortgage
banking, trust and wealth management and cash logistics services
(Cash Connect®). The year-over-year percentage decline primarily
reflects the effect of our combination with Beneficial, which had
lower fee income.
Noninterest expenses reflect growth in
revenue and effective cost management
Our core efficiency ratio was 55.9% in 3Q 2019,
compared to 55.7% in 2Q 2019, and 57.6% in 3Q 2018. Core
noninterest expense for 3Q 2019 was $90.7 million, an increase of
$34.1 million, or 60.2%, from $56.6 million in 3Q 2018, primarily
due to higher ongoing operating costs from our combination with
Beneficial and other franchise growth.
When compared to 2Q 2019, core noninterest
expense decreased $1.3 million, or 1.5% (not annualized). The
quarter-over-quarter decrease includes the effect of a Deposit
Insurance Fund (DIF) credit received from the FDIC when the DIF
reached the required threshold. The remainder primarily reflects
our continuing investment in franchise growth offset by cost
synergies resulting from our combination with Beneficial.
Income taxes
We recorded a $15.9 million income tax provision
in 3Q 2019, compared to provisions of $10.1 million in 2Q 2019 and
$9.9 million in 3Q 2018.
The effective tax rate was 22.9% in 3Q 2019,
21.9% in 2Q 2019, and 20.3% in 3Q 2018. The higher tax rate in 3Q
2019 compared to 2Q 2019 and 3Q 2018 primarily reflects lower
benefits realized from stock-based compensation activity and higher
state income taxes resulting from our combination with
Beneficial.
Selected Business Segments (included in
previous results):
Wealth Management segment revenue
grows 20% over the prior year
The Wealth Management segment provides a broad
array of planning and advisory services, investment management,
trust services, and credit and deposit products to individual,
corporate, and institutional clients through multiple integrated
businesses. Combined, these businesses had $20.2 billion in assets
under management (AUM) and assets under administration (AUA) as of
September 30, 2019.
Total Wealth Management revenue (net interest
income, fiduciary fees and other fee income) was $16.8 million for
3Q 2019, an increase of $2.8 million, or 20%, compared to 3Q 2018,
primarily due to continued strength in our institutional trust
services business and including $1.7 million of income as a result
of the aforementioned short-term institutional trust deposit. Our
AUM businesses also generated higher year-over-year investment
advisory fees, as they benefited from improvements in market
valuations and positive net inflows of $108.4 million since 3Q
2018. Compared to 2Q 2019, revenue increased $1.8 million, or 12%
(not annualized).
Our trust and private banking businesses
continued to generate low- and no-cost core deposit balances.
Average balances in 3Q 2019 increased by $42.2 million, or 7% (not
annualized and excluding the $2.0 billion short-term trust
deposit), compared to 2Q 2019.
Total noninterest expense (including
intercompany allocations and provision for loan losses) was $9.3
million in 3Q 2019, an increase of $0.5 million compared to 3Q 2018
(excluding previously disclosed insurance recoveries in 3Q 2018)
and an increase of $0.3 million compared to 2Q 2019. The increase
was driven by higher compensation costs from adding advisors and
private bankers in the Beneficial footprint as well as an increase
in provision for loan losses, where the business had experienced
net recoveries in both 2Q 2019 and 3Q 2018. Wealth Management
reported pre-tax income in 3Q 2019 of $7.6 million, which includes
$1.4 million of income net of expenses directly related to the
short-term institutional trust deposit, compared to $5.2 million in
3Q 2018, excluding the previously disclosed insurance recoveries,
and $6.1 million in 2Q 2019.
As we continue to further execute on future
growth opportunities resulting from the Beneficial acquisition,
Wealth Management has hired four wealth advisors and three private
bankers since the beginning of the year to support our expansion
into the Pennsylvania and New Jersey markets and has a strong
pipeline of new business activity.
Cash Connect®
pre-tax income increases 13%
over same quarter in 2018
Cash Connect® is a premier provider of ATM vault
cash, smart safe and cash logistics services in the United States.
Cash Connect® services approximately 30,300 non-bank ATMs and
retail safes nationwide supplying or servicing over $1.1 billion in
cash at September 30, 2019 and provides other fee-based
services. Cash Connect® also operates 477 ATMs for WSFS Bank, which
is one of the largest branded ATM networks in our market.
Our Cash Connect® division recorded $11.6
million of net revenue (fee income less funding costs) in 3Q 2019,
an increase of $1.3 million, or 12%, from 3Q 2018, primarily due to
continued growth in the bailment, cash management and smart safe
lines of business. Compared to 2Q 2019, net revenue increased $0.3
million, or 2% (not annualized), primarily due to growth in
surcharge and interchange revenue as a result of the acquired
branch ATMs as well as bailment and seasonality.
Noninterest expense (including intercompany
allocations of expense) was $9.8 million in 3Q 2019, an increase of
$1.0 million compared to 3Q 2018 and an increase of $0.2 million
compared to 2Q 2019. The increases in expenses were primarily due
to higher operating costs associated with growth. Cash Connect®
reported pre-tax income of $1.8 million for 3Q 2019, which was an
increase of $0.2 million, or 13% compared to 3Q 2018, primarily due
to organic growth. Pre-tax income was essentially flat compared to
2Q 2019, primarily due to higher revenue offset by operating costs
associated with growth.
Cash Connect® remains focused on expanding both
ATM and smart safe managed services to offset margin compression
and a changing rate environment and to improve overall returns. 3Q
2019 results demonstrate progress in driving efficiencies in
operations to optimize both cost of funds and mix of WSFS’ cash and
other sources of cash. These efforts have resulted in 3Q 2019 ROA
of 1.75%, a significant improvement from 1.48% in 2Q 2019 and 0.88%
in 3Q 2018 and which is accretive to WSFS's overall ROA
performance. Cash Connect® continues to experience strong growth in
the strategic Remote Cash Capture (RCC- smart safe, recycler and
kiosk) space with approximately 2,900 devices under service. Our
pipeline is experiencing significant growth as we continue to add
new channel partners with strong networks of national retail
relationships.
Capital management
WSFS’ total stockholders’ equity increased $20.4
million, or 1% (not annualized) during 3Q 2019, primarily due to
the effect of quarterly earnings and market-value changes on
available-for-sale securities partially offset by share buybacks
and the payment of dividends on our common stock during the
quarter.
WSFS’ tangible common equity(2) increased $24.2
million, or 1.92% (not annualized) compared to June 30, 2019
for the reasons described in the paragraph above. WSFS’ common
equity to assets ratio was 15.13% at September 30, 2019, and
our tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio(2) increased by
9 bps during the quarter to 10.98%.
At September 30, 2019, book value per share
was $35.41, an increase of $0.91, or 3%, from June 30, 2019,
and tangible common book value per share(2) was $24.50, an increase
of $0.81, or 3%, from June 30, 2019.
At September 30, 2019, WSFS Bank’s Tier 1
leverage ratio of 11.13%, Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio and
Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.01%, and Total Capital ratio of 13.50%
were all substantially in excess of the “well-capitalized”
regulatory benchmarks.
The Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.12 per share of common stock. This dividend will be
paid on November 21, 2019 to stockholders of record as of
November 7, 2019.
During 3Q 2019, WSFS repurchased 959,300 shares
of common stock at an average price of $42.33 as part of our share
buyback program approved by the Board of Directors in 4Q 2018. WSFS
has 1,906,338 shares, or approximately 4% of outstanding shares,
remaining to repurchase under this authorization. We continue to
execute the Board-approved share buyback plan, including
opportunistically repurchasing shares, based on current valuation
levels, above our stated practice of returning a minimum of 25% of
annual net income to stockholders through dividends and share
repurchases.
(2) As used in this release, tangible
common equity, tangible common equity to tangible assets and
tangible common book value per share are non-GAAP financial
measures. These non-GAAP measures exclude goodwill and intangible
assets and the related tax-effected amortization. For a
reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP measures to their
comparable GAAP measures, see “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” at the end
of this press release.

limitation, references to the Company's predictions or expectations
of future business or financial performance as well as its goals
and objectives for future operations, financial and business
trends, business prospects, and management's outlook or
expectations for earnings, revenues, expenses, capital levels,
liquidity levels, asset quality or other future financial or
business performance, strategies or expectations. The words
“believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,”
“project” and similar expressions, among others, generally identify
forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are
based on various assumptions (some of which may be beyond the
Company's control) and are subject to risks and uncertainties
(which change over time) and other factors which could cause actual
results to differ materially from those currently anticipated. Such
risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those
related to difficult market conditions and unfavorable economic
trends in the United States generally, and particularly in the
markets in which the Company operates and in which its loans are
concentrated, including the effects of declines in housing markets,
an increase in unemployment levels and slowdowns in economic
growth; the Company's level of nonperforming assets and the costs
associated with resolving problem loans including litigation and
other costs; possible additional loan losses and impairment of the
collectability of loans; changes in market interest rates which may
increase funding costs and reduce earning asset yields and thus
reduce margin; the impact of changes in interest rates and the
credit quality and strength of underlying collateral and the effect
of such changes on the market value of the Company's investment
securities portfolio; the credit risk associated with the
substantial amount of commercial real estate, construction and land
development, and commercial and industrial loans in our loan
portfolio; the extensive federal and state regulation, supervision
and examination governing almost every aspect of the Company's
operations including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act) the Economic Growth, Regulatory
Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (which amended the Dodd-Frank
Act), and the rules and regulations issued in accordance therewith
and potential expenses associated with complying with such
regulations; the Company's ability to comply with applicable
capital and liquidity requirements (including the finalized Basel
III capital standards), including our ability to generate liquidity
internally or raise capital on favorable terms; possible changes in
trade, monetary and fiscal policies, laws and regulations and other
activities of governments, agencies, and similar organizations; any
impairment of the Company's goodwill or other intangible assets;
failure of the financial and operational controls of the Company's
Cash Connect® division; conditions in the financial markets that
may limit the Company's access to additional funding to meet its
liquidity needs; the success of the Company's growth plans,
including the successful integration of past and future
acquisitions; the Company's ability to fully realize the cost
savings and other benefits of its acquisitions, manage risks
related to business disruption following those acquisitions, and
post-acquisition customer acceptance of the Company's products and
services and related Customer disintermediation; negative
perceptions or publicity with respect to the Company's trust and
wealth management business; adverse judgments or other resolution
of pending and future legal proceedings, and cost incurred in
defending such proceedings; system failures or cybersecurity
incidents or other breaches of the Company's network security; the
Company's ability to recruit and retain key employees; the effects
of problems encountered by other financial institutions that
adversely affect the Company or the banking industry generally; the
effects of weather and natural disasters such as floods, droughts,
wind, tornadoes and hurricanes as well as effects from geopolitical
instability and man-made disasters including terrorist attacks;
possible changes in the speed of loan prepayments by the Company's
customers and loan origination or sales volumes; possible changes
in the speed of prepayments of mortgage-backed securities due to
changes in the interest rate environment, and the related
acceleration of premium amortization on prepayments in the event
that prepayments accelerate; regulatory limits on the Company's
ability to receive dividends from its subsidiaries and pay
dividends to its stockholders; any reputation, credit, interest
rate, market, operational, legal, liquidity, regulatory and
compliance risk resulting from developments related to any of the
risks discussed above; and the costs associated with resolving any
problem loans, litigation, and other risks and uncertainties,
including those discussed in the Company's Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2018 and other documents filed by the Company
with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.
We caution readers not to place undue reliance
on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the
date on which they are made, and the Company disclaims any duty to
revise or update any forward-looking statement, whether written or
oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the
Company for any reason, except as specifically required by law. As

The Company uses non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles) financial information in its analysis of the Company’s
performance. The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP
measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations,
enhance comparability of results of operations with prior periods
and show the effects of significant gains and charges in the
periods presented. The Company’s management believes that investors
may use these non-GAAP measures to analyze the Company’s financial
performance without the impact of unusual items or events that may
obscure trends in the Company’s underlying performance. This
non-GAAP data should be considered in addition to results prepared
in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for, or superior
to, GAAP results. For a reconciliation of these and other non-GAAP
measures to their comparable GAAP measures, see “Non-GAAP
Reconciliation” at the end of this press release. |
