The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2013 increased $220 thousand, or 23.86%, to $1.14 million, compared with the same period of the prior year.

Non-covered loans and other real estate owned are those assets not covered by the loss share agreement between the FDIC and the Bank in relation to the acquisition of Waccamaw. The allowance for loan losses decreased to $24.85 million at March 31, 2013, compared with $25.77 million at December 31, 2012, and $25.80 million at March 31, 2012.

The decrease in the ratio of allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-covered loans for the first quarter of 2013, compared to the first quarter of 2012, was impacted by loans marked to fair value as part of the Peoples' acquisition. For the first quarter of 2013, net charge-offs increased $777 thousand, or 60.47%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2012, and $735 thousand, or 55.39%, compared with the first quarter of 2012.

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.

(1) Fully taxable equivalent at the rate of 35% ("FTE"). The FTE basis adjusts for the tax benefits of income on certain tax exempt loans and investments using the federal statutory rate of 35% for each period presented. The Company believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income and provides relevant comparison between taxable and nontaxable amounts.
(2) Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances outstanding, but with no related interest income during the period of nonaccrual.
(3) Represents the difference between the yield on earning assets and cost of funds.
(4) Represents tax equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets.
