Strong Earnings,  
Enhanced Digital Platforms, 
Optimistic Outlook 

Dear Fellow Shareholders, 

When I look back on 2021, it’s amazing how we were able to 
address the many obstacles we faced in our communities—as 
friends, colleagues and families, and as an organization—
while dealing with the ongoing uncertainty of the COVID-19 
pandemic. I am inspired by how our communities showed their 
resilience, and how our FHB team responded, taking great 
pride in our customer relationships and serving our customers 
with excellence as we did whatever it took to cautiously reopen 
our economy. 

Through it all, we made exciting progress in our digital 
transformation strategy. As we saw changes in consumer 
behavior, our efforts were timely and reaffirmed that the key 
to our future is digital. We will not lose sight of our 163-year 
history as a community bank, but will enhance our relationship 
banking strategies and personal service with the digital 
touchpoints that are so important to today’s customer.

Our dedication to service, paired with our progress in our 
digital transformation led to solid earnings, excellent credit 
quality and an active strategy to return capital to shareholders 
despite the ongoing economic challenges caused by rising 
COVID-19 cases. Through these efforts, we have the bank well 
positioned for 2022 with a strong balance sheet and sufficient 
capital to fund loan growth from the rising interest rates 
signaled by the Federal Reserve. 

Reviving Hawai‘i’s Economy 

Hawai‘i’s unemployment rate improved during 2021, reaching 
a low of 5.7% in December. Although Hawai‘i tourism has 
taken a hard hit from the pandemic, demand for travel is high 
and the state remains a desirable destination. The University 
of Hawai‘i Economic Research Organization forecasts that 
tourism will continue its recovery this year throughout the 
islands, which leaves me optimistic about our future.  

As a part of our duty to mitigate the impact of public 
health threats such as COVID-19 on our economy, we have 
taken steps in our branches and offices that have proven 
we can operate in person while keeping employees and 
customers safe.  

It is our goal that 

the communities we 

serve feel a deeper 

connection with 

First Hawaiian.

Robert S. Harrison 
Chairman, President and CEO

We understand that vaccination is a critical component 
to reducing the spread and severity of COVID-19, and 
FHB was one of the first large local companies in Hawai‘i 
to require our employees to be vaccinated or tested 
weekly. Our employees stepped up, and by year end our 
workforce was 95% fully vaccinated and more than 56% of 
those eligible have received booster doses.

In addition to public health efforts, we helped our 
customers create a safety net so they can get back on track 
and minimize the effects of COVID-19 on their finances. 
We continue to assist both our small business customers 
and their employees by guiding their participation in the 
federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). We originated 
over 10,000 PPP loans for $1.4 billion to date and have 
already helped over 90% obtain loan forgiveness.

On a broader level, First Hawaiian’s corporate philanthropy 
emphasized aid to organizations that help people 
struggling to recover from the pandemic. First Hawaiian 
Bank Foundation and our employees donated $5.7 million 
to non-profits that help those in our community still being 
impacted by the pandemic. Our company made more cash 
and in-kind donations than any other organization on the 
2021 “Most Charitable Hawaii Companies” list compiled by 
Hawaii Business magazine.

I’m especially proud that 98% of our team contributed 
to the employee-run Kōkua Mai fundraising campaign. 
Employees and retirees raised $910,225 for 36 charities in 
Hawai‘i, Guam, and Saipan.

Relationship Banking Reimagined

At FHB, digital is about empowering our customers with 
the information they need in the channels they prefer. 
Whether it’s a simple mobile deposit, or utilizing best-in-
class digital tools to fill their needs for mortgage loans, 
credit cards, budget management, or paying bills at the 
click of the button, First Hawaiian’s combination of tailored 
digital and in-person service positions us well for how our 
customers prefer to bank. 

In 2021, we launched the new fhb.com, our new mobile 
app, new features on our residential lending platform, new 
dynamic loan applications and we made major headway 
on our core conversion. I’m excited to report that our 
customers have responded positively to the progress 
we’ve made with these important initiatives. With the 
improved user experience in our digital channels, our data 
shows that customer engagement has increased as they 
integrate their in-branch transactions with the power of 
our digital platforms. 

Our core conversion is a foundational element and the 
next phase of our digital transformation strategy. When 
we embarked on this project, it was to advance our ability 
to develop the types of digital products and services that 
are driving the transformation taking place in the banking 
industry today. It is the key to automating processes 
and broadening our abilities to provide a personalized, 
seamless customer experience between our digital 
channels and our branches. With our transformation, we’ll 
be upgrading over 40 platforms and applications, many of 
which are the systems we rely on every day to operate the 
bank and service our customers. We made tremendous 
progress on our core project in 2021, and we’re excited 
about completing our conversion in May of 2022.

We recognize that with the speed of digital adoption, 
customers will continue to engage with us differently. Still, 
our business is about building relationships, gathering 
deposits, making loans, and providing complimentary 
financial services. Our platforms will support these areas, 
ensuring we’re well positioned to grow for years to come.

Mahalo, Aloha and A Hui Hou 

Leading a successful bank requires a team of collaborative 
and caring individuals, from the Board of Directors to 
our customer-facing employees. I rely on their expertise 
and feedback to guide our direction and decision-making 
process as we navigate a new normal for our state.  

I’m pleased to welcome two new members to our Boards 
of Directors: James S. Moffatt, former Chairman and 
CEO of Deloitte Consulting, and Kelly A. Thompson, 
former Senior Vice President, Chief Operating Officer of 
samsclub.com. Their experience and expertise will help us 
as we continue with our digital transformation efforts. 

I also want to extend a warm mahalo to Jenai S. Wall, 
Foodland Chairman and CEO, and Matthew J. Cox, 
Chairman and CEO of Matson, Inc., who both announced 
that they will not stand for re-election as directors on our 
boards. Their extensive leadership experience in business 
and community affairs has made them a source of wise 
counsel and I can’t thank them enough for their years of 
service and commitment to our community.

With an eye toward our digital future, we strengthened our 
senior leadership with the appointment of Christopher L. 
Dods to Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer of our 
bank and holding company. During his 15-year career with 
First Hawaiian, Chris has led significant initiatives in digital 
banking, card services, and marketing. 

O U R   B R A N D I N G   R E F R E S H

It’s all connected.

As residents in the islands know, we 
are intricately connected. There is the 
ocean, which flows between our shores 
and brings us together. There is culture, 
which defines our daily experiences and 
connects us through everything from 
food to story. And there is community, 
the invisible thread between everything 
we do. Talk story for a minute and we 
find that someone’s auntie is another’s 
co-worker, someone’s neighbor is 
another’s regular customer.

For 163 years, First Hawaiian Bank has been a 
community bank. Community is what motivated 
the creation of our institution, and it continues 
to drive us today. As we reflected on our brand 
refresh in 2021, we realized that connection is 
at the center of everything we do. This purpose 
is reflected in our digital transformation, which 
empowers our customers with information 
when they need it, where they need it. Whether 
they use the Quick Quote mortgage feature on 
fhb.com for estimated rates and closing costs 
while at an open house or manage a personalized 
budget with MoneyMap on our mobile app, 
our digital products and services are meant to 
amplify connections. 

Our customers also demonstrate the power 
of connection. Take Shane Mizusawa of 
535 Plumbing, whose business has grown from 
one to 34 employees in just a few years thanks 
to his tireless work ethic and dedication to family 
values—and who grew up with First Hawaiian 
Hawai‘i Kai branch manager Nohonani Leslie, who 
is now his banker. Customers such as Shane and 
535 Plumbing received Payroll Protection Program 
loans through FHB, relying on the support of their

center of everything we do.

banker while using our online PPP platform. In 
2021, the First Hawaiian Bank Foundation also 
supported Diamond Head Theatre and other 
local organizations who keep us inspired and 
connected in good and trying times. 

Banking with FHB takes many shapes and forms, 
from managing financial wealth with our private 
banking team to using the new mobile app to get 
a comprehensive overview of all financial assets 
in one place. Our customer relationships also 
take many different shapes and sizes. And as our 
customers grow, they too help our community 
thrive. Together, we accelerate Hawai‘i’s 
connections, and it all starts with yes.

I also want to congratulate and thank former Vice 
Chairman of the Retail Banking Group Mitchell 
Nishimoto, who retired after a prestigious 35-
year career at First Hawaiian. With his retirement, 
Executive Vice President Neill Char has expanded 
his role to lead both the Retail Banking and 
Commercial Banking Groups. 

On behalf of the bank, I wish each of these leaders 
the best of luck as they embark on these new 
chapters and thank them for their dedication and 
commitment to serving our customers, employees, 
and community.

Sadly, during 2021 we lost two community giants 
who played major roles in creating today’s 
First Hawaiian.

James C. Wo, who served 19 years on the First 
Hawaiian Bank board, passed away at the age 
of 95. He and his brothers led their family’s 
century-old C.S. Wo & Sons furniture firm. Jim 
also was a philanthropist who supported many 
education causes.

Former Vice Chairman Anthony Guerrero, who 
retired after 42 years with First Hawaiian Bank, 
passed away at 76. Tony’s energy, passion, 
and humor were contagious. He taught us the 
importance of the Hawaiian word “kīnā‘ole,” doing 
the right thing, in the right way, at the right time. 
It’s a good axiom for us all.

Thank you for continuing to put your trust in a bank 
that has put the needs of the people of Hawai‘i first 
for 163 years. We head into 2022 with a positive 
outlook for our company, customers, and the 
communities we serve. Our employees continue to 
help thousands of businesses and families stabilize 
their finances, manage the pandemic’s economic 
side effects, and recover quickly. 

Aloha,

ROBERT S. HARRISON
Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer

standardized approach to creating a safe banking environment 
for our customers and staff. With the introduction of vaccines, we 
also implemented a policy requiring employees to be vaccinated 
or submit to weekly COVID-19 testing, to continue to ensure the 
healthiest possible environment for our customers. Our employees 
responded, with 95% becoming fully vaccinated. 

In terms of supporting local businesses, FHB was second in the 
state in Payroll Protection Program (PPP) applications, and was 
first in the state in loan value issued through the program. PPP 
saw its third round of loans in 2021, and First Hawaiian Bank 
again helped its local business customers apply for and receive 
funds. The bank demonstrated a strong track record for helping 
local businesses get those loans forgiven and continued to use its 
proven dedicated forgiveness portal for this purpose. To date, the 
federal government has forgiven an extraordinarily large amount—
more than 90%—of the loans received through FHB.

We have all learned, as we have responded to the pandemic, 
that things can change overnight. But as always, First Hawaiian 
Bank will continue to be a source of stability and optimism 
for our customers as we help shape a path forward in the 
communities we serve.

Persevering
through a
Pandemic

When the COVID-19 pandemic began, 

no one expected that it would last 

well into the following year. In 2021, 

First Hawaiian continued to offer 

support in an unprecedented time, 

helping its customers recover from 

the most significant financial impacts 

of the pandemic. Along with our 

efforts to ensure necessary health 

and safety measures, the bank went 

above and beyond to continue to 

support local businesses through 

the Payroll Protection Program and 

increased our emphasis on helping 

the communities we serve get back 

on track financially.

Digital
Transformation

A PERSONAL TOUCH 

In 2021, First Hawaiian Bank made great strides in its digital transformation, which 
extends our relationship banking strategy by seamlessly integrating our digital 
and in-person experiences. From the launch of our dynamic website and mobile 
app to the rollout of our Quick Quote feature on our mortgage platform, each 
element of the transformation is meant to provide greater convenience and more 
personalized service to our new and existing customers.  

A Dynamic Experience

Mobile Banking 

We relaunched our website, fhb.com, 
on a data-driven platform that allows 

us to provide dynamic content to our visitors. Content 
is customized based on user behavior, enhancing the 
customer experience and providing a more efficient online 
journey. It is now easier than ever for visitors to get the 
information they need to find and apply for the products 
or services they want. With the launch of the new site, 
FHB has seen an increase of 26.47% in site visits, a 52.15% 
reduction in bounce rate, and an increase of 18.5% in 
online applications. 

FHB RESIDENTIAL LENDING PLATFORM’S

Quick Quote  
Mortgage Feature

In real estate, 2021 was a bustling year. First Hawaiian 
Bank was ready to serve its customers with a best-in-class 
residential lending platform that is seamlessly supported 
by our local team who understands the Hawai‘i real estate 
market better than any national provider. In 2021, FHB 
further enhanced the platform with the new “Quick Quote” 
feature, which helps customers understand what they 
can afford, with immediate access to available mortgage 
rates, estimated closing costs and monthly payments, 
empowering them with information that gives them 
confidence in what they can afford. 

First Hawaiian Bank greatly expanded 
its mobile banking services in 2021 with 
the rollout of its new mobile app, which exceeds industry 
standards for check deposits and account overviews. 
Customers can aggregate FHB and non-FHB accounts on 
the app, enabling them to manage and get a complete 
view into their finances on a single platform. The app also 
unlocks the power of MoneyMap, a personal financial 
management tool that allows customers to set customized 
budgets and provides spending overviews based on how 
they manage their money. Further, the Insights feature—
which is exclusive to the mobile app and provides daily 
updates on your accounts—alerts users if there is 
something it thinks needs to be addressed or reviewed, 
such as a loan payment due or duplicate charge.  

Core Conversion

In 2021, FHB continued to make progress 
with its core conversion, which centralizes 

FHB’s customer account information and automates many 
internal processes, which will allow for a faster and more 
seamless customer experience. When this conversion 
is completed, FHB will continue to improve its customer 
experience with more dynamic online applications and 
real-time, personalized information on its mobile app and 
online banking platforms. This major undertaking enables 
the bank to work more efficiently, but more importantly, it 
helps us better serve our customers.

A partnership  
for life

Mike Irish’s mentor Richard Kimi of Hotel Hukilau had advised 
him to find a banker he could trust when he started doing 
business. So when he invested his last $25,000 in Parks Brand 
in 1984, Mike headed down Liliha Street to First Hawaiian Bank. 
There, he met Glenn Goya. “I said, ‘Glenn, would you like to be 
my banker?’” Mike recalls. “He looked at me kind of shocked and 
I just stuck my hand out and shook his hand.” 

Mike  was  soon  spending  his  days  making,  bottling,  and 
delivering sauces. But while he had bought Parks Brand because 
he wanted a cashflow business, he was losing money. Then, 
Goya gave Irish a $15,000 loan to buy Halm’s Kim Chee. Together 
the two companies became profitable, and Mike saw the benefit 
of synergizing the production of food products. Today, he owns 
five sauce companies, nine kimchi companies, Diamond Head 
Seafood, and Keoki’s Lau Lau and Kalua Pig. 

In the meantime, First Hawaiian enabled Mike to get into real 
estate, his first passion. This kicked off in 1999, when FHB 
helped Mike purchase the real estate for the factory where 
the laulau, seafood, kimchi and sauces are produced. Irish’s 
personal relationship with First Hawaiian Bank has also grown, 
from Christmas parties to golfing on Sundays with now-retired 
Vice Chairman and Chief Banking Officer Ray Ono. 

Mike knows he can turn to First Hawaiian Bank for help with 
anything—whether it’s buying a bigger warehouse or just 
cashing a check. “I’ve never thought of banking as a bank,” he 
says. “I’ve always thought of it as relationships. I tell people the 
reason we’re successful is because of the help First Hawaiian 
gave us and the fact that they believed in me.”

Connected by 
culture

Andrew  Cherng  feels  that  Hawai‘i  suits  him,  as  does  First 
Hawaiian Bank. “Culturally, we’re from the same cloth, so it 
just feels right,” says the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Panda 
Restaurant Group. “We share a lot of similar values—family, 
respect, diligence, perseverance, work hard, do well, and do 
good for others.”

In 1983, Andrew was invited to open a quick-service version of 
his restaurant, Panda Inn, at a mall in Southern California. By 
that time, Andrew regularly frequented Hawai‘i with family. As 
Andrew and his wife and co-Founder, Peggy, were figuring out 
the model for Panda Express, they visited O‘ahu, and Andrew 
found inspiration at Patti’s Chinese Kitchen at Ala Moana 
Shopping Center. “They had a line on both sides going in, and 
lots of food that was really inexpensive,” he remembers. “I sat 
there for like two or three days just watching the traffic and what 
they did, taking it all in.” 

Today in Hawai‘i and Guam, Panda Restaurant Group has 
around 50 Panda Expresses and the licensing rights to Raising 
Cane’s. First Hawaiian Bank is the exclusive bank for all these 
Panda Express locations. FHB also supports the Cherng Family 
Trust (CFT) in its real estate ventures in the islands and beyond. 

The Cherngs’ relationship with FHB grew from their relationship 
with Dan Nishikawa, whom they first encountered in the local 
luxury development scene. “Dan is very instrumental in terms 
of getting us to a closer relationship—providing us with credit 
lines and competitive pricing,” says Andrew. “He goes out of his 
way to take care of us.” 

A new real estate venture Andrew is excited about is the Pacific 
Business News building in Waikīkī, which CFT is converting to a 
hotel. “We’ll talk about financing needs with FHB,” Andrew says. 
“Plus Dan is very experienced with development, so I’m sure we’ll 
get plenty of advice, too.”

Treating everyone 
like family

It was after Shane Mizusawa of 535 Plumbing took time off to 
be with his daughter, who was born with complications, that 
he found the drive to start his own company. “People were still 
calling and saying, ‘Can you fix my problem?’” Shane remembers. 
“I felt like I had to help them.” 

He established 535 Plumbing in 2015 after realizing those calls 
were a full-time job. Soon, ensuring he could help everyone who 
called also meant hiring an employee. Now, 535 Plumbing has a 
staff of 34. “It’s a close-knit group,” he says. “I feel like all of our 
managers, they lead with empathy, humility, and concern. I feel 
like I’m super lucky that I have managers that lead with that.”

First Hawaiian Bank was Shane’s choice of bank for his company 
from the beginning. Having grown up with banker Nohonani 
Leslie and having watched her rise to branch manager at Hawai‘i 
Kai, Shane reached out to her for help with 535. “Noho was kind 
enough to introduce me to private banking and commercial 
lenders so I got to pick their brains,” he says. 

Nohonani started by helping Shane get auto loans and a line of 
credit, and in 2020, she also helped Shane receive a PPP loan. 
“She was there during the pandemic when I didn’t know what 
was going on or if we were going to stay open,” Shane says. 
His partnership with Nohonani and First Hawaiian Bank has 
extended to Urgent Island Restoration, a restoration company 
Shane co-founded in 2016. 

Shane has plans for additional divisions within 535 Plumbing 
and  is  pursuing  a  commercial  property  for  a  plumbing 
distribution store. “Now I understand borrowing money,” he 
says, “and I feel like we have the capacity to make these leaps, 
to take these risks.”

A practice of caring

Growing up, Dr. Lisa Shitamoto tagged along with her mom to 
First Hawaiian Bank to make deposits and went to work with her 
dad, a pathologist at Maui Memorial Medical Center. Inspired by 
him, Lisa wanted to go into healthcare. She also wanted to serve 
the Maui community. When she figured out being a dentist was 
how she would do so, her father took out a First Hawaiian loan 
so she could attend school. 

When Lisa returned to Maui after graduating, she kept her 
personal banking at First Hawaiian. “My parents are longtime 
FHB people,” she says, “so it was only natural for me to follow 
in their footsteps.”

Lisa first worked for a dental practice, but she soon decided she 
wanted to serve the community in her own way. This meant 
buying the practice of a retiring dentist in Wailuku. To do so, she 
went to First Hawaiian for a loan, which is how she met banker 
Royle Taogoshi. “He’s been with me every step of the way,” she 
says. Most recently, Royle has helped Lisa with loans to expand 
her practice to a location she’ll own, with more dental chairs and 
new technology to enhance her service and practice.

When Lisa was buying Maui Mino‘aka Dentistry, she didn’t know 
she was pregnant, or that her son would need heart surgery. 
Following that was the pandemic and the arrival of her daughter. 
Throughout, she’s continued to strive to help the community 
through her dental work, with the support of her family and 
First Hawaiian. “I’m grateful for the trust and relationship we’ve 
built together,” she says of Royle. “I’m very appreciative that he 
trusted in me, who I am as a person, and my goals and vision 
for my career.”

A matter of trust

One day, Diane Ono got a call from First Hawaiian Bank’s 
Jeff Sakamoto, who wanted to learn about the law firm she 
managed. After catching up with Jeff, whom the firm had 
previously worked with, and lunch with Neill Char, who was 
the University Branch manager at that time, Diane and her 
firm decided to move all 100 or so of the firm’s accounts to First 
Hawaiian. “You need a good relationship with a bank to have a 
credit line you can depend on,” Diane says. 

About seven years ago, when Diane needed help with wealth 
management, she again chose First Hawaiian. She is happy she 
did. “I don’t want to worry that somebody is doing something 
wild and crazy with my retirement,” she says. “And I’ve never 
ever felt that with First Hawaiian.”

Now retired from practicing law, Diane continues to find use for 
her legal background, including on boards of nonprofits such 
as the Friends of William S. Richardson School of Law and the 
Hawai‘i State Bar Foundation, of which she is president. When 
Diane was referred to Lynn Takahashi, a banker in FHB’s Private 
Banking Division, they already knew each other from being on 
the board for the Friends of the UH Cancer Research Center.

Recently, Diane told her wealth management team that she 
wanted to donate to charities while she was alive. Jodie Duvall, 
FHB’s Senior Vice President and Wealth Advisory Division 
Manager, recommended stock transfers, which would be more 
financially beneficial for Diane. “I never would have thought 
about that,” Diane says. To her, this exemplifies how the First 
Hawaiian team is both practical and low pressure.

Diane grew up in a Japanese family that never talked about 
money, but she is comfortable discussing wealth management 
with Lynn, Jodie, and Paul Gauci, her new wealth adviser. They’ve 
covered long-term care insurance, estate planning, diversifying 
her portfolio, and changes in the law. “We’ve been doing our 
meetings on Zoom,” she says. “But I said maybe next year we 
can get together over lunch, because those were always fun.”

Persevering for the 
people

At any given time, Diamond Head Theatre has about 400 
volunteers. They perform, collect tickets, sell snacks, tend 
gardens, and design costumes. “There’s such a wide depth 
and breadth of opportunity here, and everyone feels a part of 
the family,” says Deena Dray, the theater’s executive director. 

There are also about 1,000 children who take part in educational 
classes every year. For Deena, “music, singing and dancing 
brings a joy to people that nothing else does.” Her wish is 
to get everyone through the theater’s door, because after 
they experience its magic, they will understand. Some of its 
subscribers have been coming to shows for 30 years, sitting in 
the same seats and creating their own theatrical neighborhood.
While the pandemic presented a unique challenge to the 
theater, Deena knew it needed to keep offering creative outlets 
and camaraderie. They debuted drive-in performances on the 
loading dock and a Pandemic Adapted Performance Series. 
Essential to keeping the theater running were two PPP loans, 
which they secured with the help of First Hawaiian Bank.

First Hawaiian has also supported the nonprofit’s future in the 
form of a new theater. Since 2007, the board has been working 
on this vision, and in 2011, “we finally had to decide whether we 
were going to try to raise the money,” Deena recalls. The first 
major gift came from Joan Bellinger, a board member and wife 
of John Bellinger, former chair and CEO of First Hawaiian Bank. 

Diamond  Head  Theatre’s  finance  committee  chose  First 
Hawaiian to invest the campaign funds and be its primary 
mortgage lender. For Deena, who formerly was a banker at 
First Hawaiian, it’s a welcome choice. “I love the people at 
First Hawaiian Bank,” she says. “When you have that kind of 
familiarity and feeling about an organization, you want to go 
back to them.”

Deena says of the theater, which is expected to be open by 
January 2023, “It’s going to be state-of-the-art.” Donors can 
buy seats and put names on the armrests—one couple did so 
for their dog, who appeared in a “Wizard of Oz” performance; 
another woman donated in honor of her mother, who used 
to bring her to shows. “All of this propelled me and the board 
forward,” says Deena, “continuing the hopes and dreams and 
106-year history of our theater.”

GAAP/NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION

We present net interest income, noninterest income, noninterest expense, net income, earnings per share, and the related ratios described below, 
on an adjusted, or ‘‘core,’’ basis, each a Non-GAAP financial measure. These core measures exclude from the corresponding GAAP measure the 
impact of certain items that we do not believe are representative of our financial results. We believe that the presentation of these Non-GAAP 
financial measures helps identify underlying trends in our business from period to period that could otherwise be distorted by the effect of 
certain expenses, gains and other items included in our operating results. We believe that these core measures provide useful information about 
our operating results and enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future performance. Investors should consider our 
performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing our performance or financial 
condition. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for 
analysis of our financial results or financial condition as reported under GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of net interest income, 
noninterest income, noninterest expense, and net income to their “core” Non-GAAP financial measures:

(a) Costs associated with the sale of stock for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 related to changes in the valuation of the funding swap entered into with the 

buyer of our VISA Class B restricted sales in 2016.

(b) One-time items for the year ended December 31, 2021 consisted of fees related to the prepayment of $200.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances and

(c) Represents the adjustments to net income, tax effected at the Company's effective tax rate for the respective period.

Note (1): Core net interest margin is a Non-GAAP financial measure. We compute our core net interest margin as the ratio of core net interest income to average earning 
assets. For a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for core net interest income, see GAAP/Non-GAAP Reconciliation above.
Note (2): Core efficiency ratio is a Non-GAAP financial measure. We compute our core efficiency ratio as the ratio of core noninterest expense to the sum of core net interest 
income and core noninterest income. For a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for core noninterest expense, core net interest income and 
core noninterest income, see GAAP/Non-GAAP Reconciliation above.
Note (3): Core return on average total assets is a Non-GAAP financial measure. We compute our core return on average total assets as the ratio of core net income to average 
total assets. For a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for core net income, see GAAP/Non-GAAP Reconciliation above.
Note (4): Core return on average total stockholders’ equity is a Non-GAAP financial measure. We compute our core return on average total stockholders’ equity as the ratio of 
core net income to average total stockholders’ equity. For a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for core net income, see GAAP/Non-GAAP 
Reconciliation above.
Note (5): Core basic earnings per share and core diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing core net income by the weighted average number of common shares 
outstanding for the period and, in the case of core diluted earnings per share, assuming conversion of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.
Note (6): Tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets is a Non-GAAP financial measure. We compute our tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets as the ratio of 
tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets. We compute our tangible stockholders’ equity by subtracting (and thereby effectively excluding) amounts related to the effect 
of goodwill from our average total stockholders’ equity. We compute our tangible assets by subtracting (and thereby effectively excluding) amounts related to the effect of 
goodwill from our average total assets.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING   
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the 
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These 
forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect 
to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. 
These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of 
words or phrases such as “may”, “might”, “should”, “could”, “predict”, 
“potential”, “believe”, “expect”, “continue”, “will”, “anticipate”, “seek”, 
“estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “projection”, “would”, “annualized” and 
“outlook”, or the negative version of those words or other comparable 
words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These 
forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on 
current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, 
management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, 
many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond 
our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking 
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject 
to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to 
predict. Further, statements about the potential effects of the COVID-19 
pandemic on our businesses and financial results and conditions may 
constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk 
that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is 
reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future 
developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases 
beyond our control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, 
actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, 
and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our customers, 
third parties and us. Although we believe that the expectations 
reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the 
date made, there can be no assurance that actual results will not prove 
to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the 
forward-looking statements. For a discussion of some of these risks 
and important factors that could affect our future results and financial 
condition, see our U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 
filings, including, but not limited to, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 
the year ended December 31, 2021.
