F ORWARD  LOOKING STATEMENTS Todays presentation may contain forward - looking statements, which may be identified by the use of such words as believe, expect, anticipate, should, planned, estimated and potential .  Examples of forward - looking statements include, but are not limited to, estimates with respect to our financial condition and results of operation and business that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates . These factors include, but are not limited to : changes in the interest rate environment that reduce margins ; changes in the regulatory environment ; the highly competitive industry and market area in which we operate ; general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality ; changes in business conditions and inflation ; changes in credit market conditions ; changes in the securities markets which affect investment management revenues ; increases in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance premiums and assessments ; changes in technology used in the banking business ; the soundness of other financial services institutions ; certain of our intangible assets may become impaired in the future ; our controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented ; new lines of business or new products and services, including the additions of the Westfield Wealth Management and Insurance Group ; changes in key management personnel ; recent or proposed legislative and regulatory initiatives ; and other factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31 , 2013 , and other reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC ) . This presentation includes the following non - GAAP financial measures : adjusted net income . A description of the adjusted calculations and reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the accompanying table titled Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income to GAAP Pretax Net Income .  Company management uses these non - GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate its operating results and trends on an on - going basis, and internally for operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes . Company management believes the non - GAAP information is useful for investors by offering the ability to better identify trends in our business and better understand how management evaluates the business . These non - GAAP measures have limitations, however, because they do not include all items of income and expense that affect the Company . These non - GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measurements required by GAAP . Any or all of our forward - looking statements in todays presentation or in any other public statements we make may turn out to be wrong . They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or known or unknown risks and uncertainties . Consequently, no forward - looking statements can be guaranteed . We disclaim any obligation to subsequently revise any forward - looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements, or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events . 2
