Total interest income increased $8.06 million, or 34.72%, to $31.26 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with the fourth quarter of 2011.

Deposit costs decreased $33 thousand, or 1.25%, to $2.60 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with the fourth quarter of 2011, which was primarily due to an 18 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits.

The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $399.15 million, or 24.71%, to $2.01 billion for the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with the fourth quarter of 2011, which included a $379.81 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits and a $19.34 million increase in average total borrowings.

The decrease in the ratio of allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans as a percentage of non-covered loans for the fourth quarter of 2012 was impacted by loans marked to fair value as part of the Peoples' acquisition. For the fourth quarter of 2012, net charge-offs decreased $1.35 million, or 51.29%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). This press release also refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures that the Company believes provide investors with important information, when used in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP, regarding our operational performance.

Core earnings are a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain items from net income. Excluded items include gains, losses, and impairment losses on securities; goodwill and intangible impairment; amortization of intangibles; taxes; and other nonrecurring income and expense items. Management believes that core earnings provide the Company and investors a valuable tool to evaluate the Company's financial results.

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that is computed by dividing adjusted noninterest expense by the sum of tax equivalent net interest income and adjusted noninterest income. Management believes this measure provides investors with important information about the Company's operating expense control and efficiency of operations. Management also believes this ratio focuses attention on the core operating performance of the Company over time and is highly useful in comparing period-to-period operating performance of core business operations. The efficiency ratio used by the Company may not be comparable to efficiency ratios reported by other financial institutions.

Tangible book value per common share is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as stockholders' equity less goodwill and other intangibles, divided by as-converted common shares outstanding. Average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as average stockholders' equity less average goodwill, other intangibles, and the preferred liquidation preference.
