Non-GAAP Financial Information |
This news release contains financial information and performance measures determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. Truist’s management uses these “non-GAAP” measures in their analysis of Truist’s performance and the efficiency of its operations. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability of results with prior periods and demonstrate the effects of significant items in the current period. Truist believes a meaningful analysis of its financial performance requires an understanding of the factors underlying that performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Below is a listing of the types of non-GAAP measures used in this news release:
•Adjusted net income available to common shareholders and adjusted diluted EPS - Adjusted net income available to common shareholders and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP in that these measures exclude selected items, net of tax. Truist’s management uses these measures in their analysis of Truist’s performance. Truist’s management believes these measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods, as well as demonstrate the effects of significant gains and charges.
•Adjusted efficiency ratio, adjusted fee income ratio, and related measures - The adjusted efficiency ratio is non-GAAP in that it excludes securities gains and losses, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring charges, and other selected items. Adjusted revenue and adjusted noninterest expense are related measures used to calculate the adjusted efficiency ratio. Additionally, the adjusted fee income ratio is non-GAAP in that it excludes securities gains and losses and other selected items, and is calculated using adjusted revenue and adjusted noninterest income. Taxable equivalent revenue and taxable equivalent net interest income include a taxable equivalent adjustment utilizing the federal income tax rate of 21% for certain tax-exempt instruments. Adjusted revenue and adjusted noninterest income exclude securities gains and losses and other selected items. Adjusted noninterest expense excludes restructuring charges and other selected items. Truist’s management calculated these measures based on Truist’s continuing operations. Truist’s management uses these measures in their analysis of Truist’s performance. Truist’s management believes these measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods, as well as demonstrate the effects of significant gains and charges.
•PPNR - Pre-provision net revenue is a non-GAAP measure that adjusts net income determined in accordance with GAAP to exclude the impact of the provision for credit losses and provision for income taxes. Adjusted pre-provision net revenue is a non-GAAP measure that additionally excludes securities gains (losses), restructuring charges, and other selected items. Truist’s management calculated these measures based on Truist’s continuing operations. Truist’s management believes these measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods.
•Tangible Common Equity and Related Measures - Tangible common equity and related measures, including ROTCE and TBVPS, are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of intangible assets, net of deferred taxes, and their related amortization. These measures are useful for evaluating the performance of a business consistently, whether acquired or developed internally. Truist’s management uses these measures to assess profitability, returns relative to balance sheet risk, and shareholder value.
A reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in this release or the appendix to Truist’s Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Presentation, which is available at https://ir.truist.com/earnings.
