WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO COMMAND A PREMIUM TO BOOK VALUE?
• From an investor’s
perspective, earnings
are ultimately why
bank stocks trade
above book value
(or below book value)
• Based on a range of
P/E multiples of 11x –
15x, a bank with 9.0%
TCE / TA must earn
between 0.60% and
0.82% ROAA in order
to trade at book value
• However, to trade at a
healthy premium to
book value (150%), a
bank must earn
between 0.90% and
1.23% ROAA

WHY SHOULD A BANK STOCK TRADE AT A PREMIUM TO TBV?
• What makes $1 of tangible book value (TBV) in a bank superior to $1 under the mattress?
• In theory, the $1 of TBV should deliver returns that the $1 under the mattress cannot
• One way investors determine how much to pay for a bank stock relative to its TBV is by comparing
Price / TBV and ROATCE (or Return on Average Tangible Common Equity)
• A general rule is that every 6.5% to 7.0% of ROATCE is worth approximately 1.0x TBV (1)
• With this mind, it is logical to see that the change in industry fundamentals (lower net income and
higher TCE levels) has led to lower valuation multiples for community banks
• Absent an M&A takeout premium, its difficult for investors to envision underperforming community
banks generating the level of standalone profitability required to provide them with an adequate internal
rate of return
• In the following examples, we use a simplified 7.0% ROATCE = 1.0x TBV approach to evaluate how
much investors can pay for a bank assuming the investors seek a 15% IRR over three years

• The capital markets
are supportive of
growth-oriented
healthy community and
regional banks
• The bank IPO market
continues to gain
strength
• The IPO market is
available to smaller
and less profitable
companies than before
- However, valuation
is impacted by size
and profitability
• The smaller the bank,
the more important its
growth story
• Investors’ faith in the
management team can
open and shut the door
for institutions on the
size “bubble”

CAPITAL MARKETS ALTERNATIVES – PRIVATE PLACEMENTS
Commentary
• Early on, most of the
capital being raised
was through private
placements and was
related to the
recapitalization of
distressed banks
• The Southeast saw a
large number of private
placements given this
region saw a
significant number of
troubled banks directly
related to the decline
in real state activity
and values
• The recapitalization
phase is over, so
private placements are
returning to a more
normal level

CAPITAL MARKETS ALTERNATIVES – SUBORDINATED DEBT
Commentary
• The capital markets
are currently very
receptive to community
bank sub debt
• In Q3 2014 alone, over
$400 million of sub
debt was raised
• The emergence of
Kroll ratings for bank
has helped open up
the sub debt markets
- In particular, Kroll’s
BBB- ratings (or
“investment grade
but for size”) allow
insurance
companies to buy
bank sub debt
• Larger issuers can
raise sub debt at
5.50% to 7.50% while
smaller issuers are
typically closer to
7.00% to 9.00%

M&A ENVIRONMENT – WHAT HAS CHANGED
Pre-Recession Environment
• Buyers were willing to take on significant book value
dilution and the market was willing to accept it
• Buyers were willing to take earnings per share
dilution in the first and sometimes second year of a
transaction
• Sellers were willing to accept high-priced stocks
trading off of future growth prospects (often young
banks) with limited liquidity
• Wholesale funding was accepted as a way to
leverage franchise value
• Trust preferred allowed buyers to pay high prices by
financing some or all of the transaction with low cost
debt
Current Environment
• Buyers are focused on managing tangible book
value dilution (10% or less) and earning back the
dilution taken in a reasonable period of time (3 to 4
years)
• Buyers want meaningful and immediate earnings per
share accretion (10% or more)
• Sellers are focused on the quality of the buyer’s
stock (liquidity, dividend, historical performance) and
that it is trading at a reasonable valuation with
potential upside
• Wholesale funding has fallen out of favor with
regulators
• Trust preferred does not exist; alternative sources of
capital (preferred equity, sub debt) are significantly
more expensive
• Regulators want higher capital levels, comprised
mostly of common equity

M&A ENVIRONMENT – WHAT HAS STAYED THE SAME?
• Level of profitability and earnings growth are significant drivers of value
• Demonstrated loan growth is critical
• Diversification in loan portfolio more important than ever
• Core deposits and customer relationships are key
• Growth markets remain attractive
• Buyers wary of seller asset quality
• Fee income only valuable if it is creating bottom-line earnings
• Good management with strong culture creates attractive franchises
• Mergers of peers remain financially attractive but difficult to consummate
17
Discussion Materials | November 2014
CURRENT M&A ENVIRONMENT
Buyer Perspective & Issues
• Increased stock price allows higher offer
prices
Seller Perspective & Issues
• Pricing improving to attractive levels
• Some still holding onto pre-recession pricing
• No need to stretch as far
• Seller expectations are rising faster than
bank values
• No relief from interest rate and regulatory
challenges
• Prior purchase accounting accretion fading
• Shareholder liquidity and ability to reinstate a
dividend
• Asset values more stable – NPAs less of a
concern
• Market becoming more competitive for
attractive targets
• Regulatory focus on post-merge capital
levels require thorough analysis
• Private equity backed banks and large
community banks very interested in making
acquisitions
• Length of time to close deal
• Double dip opportunity
• Comprehensive understanding of deferred
taxed on NOLs necessary
• Raising capital remains expensive / dilutive

Outlook Risks
Potential Challenges to the Outlook
 Fitful Fed exit brings questions for the dollar,
inflation and interest rate outlook/ volatility/
confidence
 Fiscal policy: tax increases and/or spending cuts face
unsustainable long-run outlook
What are the primary risks to
the outlook?
 Housing: able to sustain growth on its own if rates
rise?
 European debt crisis weighs on global growth and
global credit stagnation over the long-run
 China/global trade weakness hits U.S. exports,
foreign earnings of U.S. corporations
 Ebola: Unknown unknown. The unquantifiable risk

Identifying True Risk Profile

Simulations provide most accurate risk profile

Identify timing and degree of sensitivity

Gauge exposure under a variety of rate scenarios

Dependent upon inputs (data, assumptions) and must focus on
right information when developing strategies

Assumptions have a HUGE impact!
Page 22
Bank-Specific Assumptions
Page 23
Critical Model Assumptions
1.
Deposit sensitivity/lives
2.
Replacement/new volume
3.
Prepayment
They Should Be Stress Tested Regularly
Page 24
Prepayment Assumptions
Page 25
New Volume Assumptions: Loans
Page 26
New Volume Assumption: Loans
Page 27
Deposit Assumptions

Key assumptions:
 Rate sensitivity factors or “betas”
 Rates paid on non-maturity deposits (NMD) have greatest impact
 Rising and falling not likely symmetrical
 Core versus “hot” money
 Potential disintermediation or shift due to changing market conditions
 Particularly important under rising rates
 Retention/decay on non-maturity deposits
 Potential cash flows from non-maturity
 Needed for valuation analysis (EVE)

Critical to formulate reliable deposit assumptions, perform
deposit studies and stress test results!
Page 28
Non-Maturity Deposits…Key Assumptions

Potential for Reductions in NMD Balances (“Surge,” “Parked,” etc.)






Disintermediation (leave “banking” system)
Migrate/Shift Back to CDs
Public Funds
Etc.
Sensitized Customers (“Smarter”/More Aware/Less Loyal?)
Important Consideration: > “Normal” Growth Can be “CORE”



Local Market Bank Failures/Troubled Institutions
In-Market Mergers (Large and/or Out-of-Market Banks)
Some Simply DO BETTER JOB @ Increasing Market Share
Page 29
Validating Deposit Assumptions

“Core deposit study”
 Internal or externally performed
 Many different flavors
 Higher cost <> more accurate results
 Can provide meaningful information…but
 Will NOT provide answers with any
certainty

Analyzing historical activity can tell you a lot
 Balances, rates, # of accounts, open/closed activity
 Provides perspective – can serve as reference point

Should relate quantitative results with qualitative experience
 No single right answer – range of possible outcomes
 Too many influencing factors

Applying “optimistic” and “pessimistic” assumptions is best practice
