GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation of Non - GAAP Financial Measures 34 During the fourth quarter of 2023 , we recorded a one - time expense of $ 7 . 2 million associated with the FDIC’s special assessment to recapitalize the Deposit Insurance Fund following bank failures in the spring of 2023 . This assessment was updated in the first quarter of 2024 resulting in additional expense of $ 1 . 8 million . These expenses are unusual, or infrequent, in nature and not part of the noninterest expense run rate . Each of adjusted net income, adjusted net income available to common stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average common stockholders’ equity and adjusted efficiency ratio excludes the impact of these items, net of tax, and are all considered non - GAAP financial measures . During the fourth quarter of 2021 , we recorded $ 3 . 0 million of expenses associated with our core operating system conversion scheduled to be completed during the third quarter of 2022 . The expenses relate to negotiated liquidated damages of our existing system contracts and the procurement of our data from those providers . We recorded a $ 1 . 7 million credit to our FDIC and other regulatory assessments expense in 2019 as a result of the FDIC’s Small Bank Assessment Credit . We recorded $ 3 . 1 million of additional tax expense as a result of revaluing our net deferred tax assets at December 31 , 2017 due to lower corporate income tax rates provided by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed into law in December 2017 . The revaluation adjustment of our net deferred tax asset position was impacted by a number of factors, including increased loan charge - offs in the fourth quarter of 2017 , increases in deferred tax liabilities relating to depreciation expense on our new headquarters building, and dividends from our captive real estate investment trusts . In 2017 we also recorded expenses of $ 347 , 000 related to terminating the lease agreement on our previous headquarters building in Birmingham, Alabama and expenses of moving into our new headquarters building . We recorded expenses of $ 2 . 1 million in 2015 related to the acquisition of Metro Bancshares, Inc . and the merger of Metro Bank with and into the bank, and recorded an expense of $ 500 , 000 resulting from the initial funding of reserves for unfunded loan commitments, consistent with guidance provided in the Federal Reserve Bank’s Interagency Policy Statement SR 06 - 17 . We recorded a non - routine expense of $ 703 , 000 for the first quarter of 2014 resulting from the correction of our accounting for vested stock options previously granted to members of our advisory boards in our Dothan, Huntsville and Montgomery, Alabama markets . The table below presents computations of earnings and certain other financial measures which exclude the significant adjustments discussed above . These non - GAAP financial measures include “adjusted net income available to common stockholders,” “adjusted earnings per share, basic,” “adjusted earnings per share, diluted,” “adjusted return on average assets,” “adjusted return on average stockholders’ equity,” “adjusted return on average common stockholders’ equity” and “adjusted efficiency ratio . ” Adjusted earnings per share, basic is adjusted net income available to common stockholders divided by weighted average shares outstanding . Adjusted earnings per share, diluted is adjusted net income available to common stockholders divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding . Adjusted return on average assets is adjusted net income divided by average total assets . Adjusted return of average stockholders’ equity is adjusted net income divided by average total stockholders’ equity . Adjusted return of average common stockholders’ equity is adjusted net income divided by average common stockholders’ equity . The adjusted efficiency ratio is adjusted non - interest expense divided by the sum of adjusted net interest income and adjusted non - interest income . Our management and board use these non - GAAP measures for reporting financial performance to internal users for management purposes and externally as part of presentations to investors . We believe these non - GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management, our board and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP ; however, we acknowledge that these non - GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not audited and are not required to be uniformly applied . All amounts are in thousands, except share and per share data .
