(1) Interest on third party debt calculated above utilizes monthly average balances. The average third party debt balance outstanding, from the date of issuance through September 30, 2014, was $10.8 billion and accrued interest at an effective rate of 2.63%, excluding the impact of a one time charge incurred in connection with the prepayment of the Bank term loan facility.
(2) Interest rate spread represents the difference between the yield on total interest earning assets and the rate on total interest bearing liabilities.
(3) Net interest margin represents net interest income divided by average interest earning assets.

(1) Tangible Common Equity ("TCE") is a non-GAAP measure. We believe TCE is a more meaningful measure to investors of the net asset value of the Company. For corresponding reconciliation of TCE to a GAAP financial measure see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures and Calculations of Regulatory Measures.
(2) Regulatory capital metrics as of the end of 3Q 2014 are preliminary and therefore subject to change. As a new savings and loan holding company, the Company historically has not been required by regulators to disclose capital ratios, and therefore these ratios are non-GAAP measures. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures and Calculation of Regulatory Measures for components of capital ratio calculations.
(3) Total risk-based capital ratio is the ratio of total risk-based capital divided by risk-weighted assets.
(4) Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio is the ratio of Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets.
(5) Tier 1 common ratio is the ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital divided by risk-weighted assets.
(6) Tier 1 leverage ratio is calculated based on Tier 1 capital divided by total assets, after certain adjustments.
(7) Our Basel III Tier 1 common ratio is the ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets, each as calculated in accordance with the U.S. Basel III capital rules (on a fully phased-in basis). Our Basel III Tier 1 common ratio is a preliminary estimate reflecting management’s interpretation of the final Basel III capital rules adopted in July 2013 by the Federal Reserve Board, which have not been fully implemented, and our estimate and interpretations are subject to, among other things, ongoing regulatory review and implementation guidance.
