USE OF NON-GAAP MEASURES 25 The accounting and reporting policies of German American Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and general practices within the banking industry. As a supplement to GAAP, the Company has provided certain, non-GAAP financial measures, which it believes are useful because they assist investors in assessing the Company's operating performance. Specifically, the Company has presented its provision for credit losses, non-interest expense, net income, earnings per share, efficiency ratio, return on average assets and return on average tangible equity on an as adjusted basis for the year ended December 31, 2022 to reflect the exclusion of the following items related to the CUB merger: (1) the Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL") "Day 1" provision expense for acquired loans that have only insignificant credit deterioration (i.e., non-PCD loans), and (2) non-recurring acquisition- related expenses. Management believes excluding such items from these financial measures may be useful in assessing the Company's underlying operational performance since the merger transaction does not pertain to its core business operations and exclusion may facilitate better comparability between periods. In addition, management believes that excluding non-recurring acquisition-related expenses and the CECL Day 1 non-PCD provision expense such measures may be useful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, since these expenses can vary significantly based on the size, type, and structure of each acquisition. Additionally, management believes excluding these items may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes. Although intended to enhance investors' understanding of the Company's business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.
