Forward-looking statements are those that are not historical facts.

You should understand that various factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this document, could affect our future results and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, including:

  • the inability to complete the proposed merger with FNB, including obtaining regulatory approvals, in a timely manner or at all; 
  • the possibility that any of the anticipated benefits of the proposed merger will not be realized; 
  • the effect of the announcement of the merger on Metro’s, FNB’s or the combined company’s respective business relationships, operating results and business generally; 
  • diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; 
  • difficulties and delays in integrating Metro's businesses with those of FNB; 
  • the effects of and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies, including in particular interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, including the duration of such policies; 
  • general economic or business conditions, either nationally, regionally or in the communities in which we do business, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality and loan performance or a reduced demand for credit; 
  • federal budget and tax negotiations and their effects on economic and business conditions in general and our customers in particular; 
  • the federal government’s inability to reach a deal to permanently raise the debt ceiling and the potential negative results on economic and business conditions;

  • possible impacts of the capital and liquidity requirements of the Basel III standards as implemented or to be implemented by the Federal Reserve and other US regulators, as well as other regulatory pronouncements and prudential standards; 
  • changes in regulatory policies on positions relating to capital distributions; 
  • our ability to generate sufficient earnings to justify capital distributions; 
  • continued effects of the aftermath of recessionary conditions and the impacts on the economy in general and our customers in particular, including adverse impacts on loan utilization rates as well as delinquencies, defaults and customers' ability to meet credit obligations; 
  • our ability to manage current levels of impaired assets; 
  • continued levels of loan volume origination; 
  • the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses or any provisions; 
  • the views and actions of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding consumer credit protection laws and regulations; 
  • changes resulting from legislative and regulatory actions with respect to the current economic and financial industry environment; 
  • changes in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) deposit fund and the associated premiums that banks pay to the fund; 
  • interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; 
  • the results of the regulatory examination and supervision process; 
  • unanticipated regulatory or legal proceedings and liabilities and other costs; 
  • compliance with laws and regulatory requirements of federal, state and local agencies, including regulatory expectations regarding enhanced compliance programs; 
  • our ability to continue to grow our business internally or through acquisitions and successful integration of new or acquired entities while controlling costs; 
  • deposit flows; 
  • the inability to achieve anticipated cost savings in the amount of time expected, and the emergence of unexpected offsetting costs in the compliance or risk management areas or otherwise; 
  • changes in consumer spending and saving habits relative to the financial services we provide; 
  • the ability to hedge certain risks economically and effectively; 
  • the loss of key officers or other personnel; 
  • changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), and other accounting standards setters; 
  • the timely development of competitive new products and services by us and the acceptance of such products and services by customers; 
  • the willingness of customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for our products and services and vice versa, based on price, quality, relationship or otherwise; 
  • other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors affecting the Company’s operations, pricing, products and services; 
  • rapidly changing technology; 
  • our continued relationships with major customers; 
  • the effect of terrorist attacks and threats of actual war; 
  • interruption or breach in security of our information systems, including cyber-attacks, resulting in failures or disruptions in customer account management, general ledger processing and loan or deposit systems or disclosure of confidential information;

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The tables that follow present reconciliations of certain non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These reconciliations exclude certain nonrecurring charges incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, which the Company believes do not reflect the operating performance of the Company during those periods. These nonrecurring charges include (1) merger-related fees during the third quarter of 2015 (which will continue to be incurred through the first quarter of 2016, when the merger is planned to occur), (2) stock-based compensation expense related to the immediate vesting of all outstanding employee stock options during the second quarter of 2015, (3) a write-off during the second quarter of 2015 of pre-construction costs related to a terminated land lease agreement for a planned future store, and (4) accelerated depreciation expense recognized during the first half of 2015 due to closing two stores. There have not been similar nonrecurring charges within the prior two years and, based on current information, the Company believes the nature of each nonrecurring charge is such that it is not reasonably likely to recur within two years. Additionally, these reconciliations exclude net gains from the sales/calls of securities for all periods presented. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of the Company and believes this presentation also increases the comparability of period-to-period results.

The Company believes these non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP measures, provide useful information for investors to evaluate the Company’s results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP measures, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other companies.
