Park National Corporation (NYSEMKT:PRK) Files An 8-K Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Item 2.02 – Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 21, 2017, Park National Corporation (Park) issued a news
release (the Financial Results News Release) announcing financial
results for the three months ended March 31, 2017. A copy of the
Financial Results News Release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to
this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference
herein.
release (the Financial Results News Release) announcing financial
results for the three months ended March 31, 2017. A copy of the
Financial Results News Release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to
this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference
herein.
Park’s management uses certain non-GAAP (generally accepted
accounting principles) financial measures to evaluate Park’s
performance. Specifically, management reviews return on average
tangible equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible
equity to tangible assets and tangible book value per share.
Management has included in the Financial Results News Release
information relating to the annualized return on average tangible
equity, annualized return on average tangible assets, tangible
equity to tangible assets and tangible book value per share for
the three months ended and at March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016
and March 31, 2016. For purposes of calculating the annualized
return on average tangible equity, a non-GAAP financial measure,
net income for each period is divided by average tangible equity
during the period. Average tangible equity equals average
shareholders’ equity during the applicable period less average
goodwill during the applicable period. For the purpose of
calculating the annualized return on average tangible assets, a
non-GAAP financial measure, net income for each period is divided
by average tangible assets during the period. Average tangible
assets equals average assets during the applicable period less
average goodwill during the applicable period. For the purpose of
calculating tangible equity to tangible assets, a non-GAAP
financial measure, tangible equity is divided by tangible assets.
Tangible equity equals total shareholders’ equity less goodwill,
in each case at period end. Tangible assets equals total assets
less goodwill, in each case at period end. For the purpose of
calculating tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP financial
measure, tangible equity is divided by common shares outstanding
at period end. Management believes that the disclosure of return
on average tangible equity, return on average tangible assets,
tangible equity to tangible assets and tangible book value per
share presents additional information to the reader of the
consolidated financial statements, which, when read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements prepared
in accordance with GAAP, assists in analyzing Park’s operating
performance, ensures comparability of operating performance from
period to period, and facilitates comparisons with the
performance of Park’s peer financial holding companies and bank
holding companies, while eliminating certain non-operational
effects of acquisitions. In the Financial Results News Release,
Park has provided a reconciliation of average tangible equity to
average shareholders’ equity, average tangible assets to average
assets, tangible equity to total shareholders’ equity and
tangible assets to total assets solely for the purpose of
complying with SEC Regulation G and not as an indication that
return on average tangible equity, return on average tangible
assets, tangible equity to tangible assets and tangible book
value per share are substitutes for return on average equity,
return on average assets, total shareholders’ equity to total
assets and book value per share, respectively, as determined by
GAAP.

the result of a $629,000 increase in interest income offset by a

$405,000 decrease in interest income on investments. The increase
in interest income on loans was largely the result of a $231
million, or 4.4%, increase in average loans from $5.0 billion for
the three months ended March 31, 2016, to $5.2 billion for the
three months ended March 31, 2017. Included in interest income

LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
Park cautions that any forward-looking statements
contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K or made by
management of Park are provided to assist in the
understanding of anticipated future financial
performance. Forward-looking statements provide current
expectations or forecasts of future events and are not
guarantees of future performance. The forward-looking
statements are based on managements expectations and
are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.
Although management believes that the expectations
reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable, actual results may differ materially from
those expressed or implied in such statements. Risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially include, without limitation: Park’s
ability to execute our business plan successfully and
within the expected timeframe; general economic and
financial market conditions, specifically in the real
estate markets and the credit markets, either
nationally or in the states in which Park and our
subsidiaries do business, may experience a slowing or
reversal of the recent economic expansion in addition
to continuing residual effects of recessionary
conditions and an uneven spread of positive impacts of
recovery on the economy and our counterparties,
including adverse impacts on the demand for loan,
deposit and other financial services, delinquencies,
defaults and counterparties’ ability to meet credit
and other obligations; changes in interest rates and
prices may adversely impact the value of securities,
loans, deposits and other financial instruments and the
interest rate sensitivity of our consolidated balance
sheet as well as reduce interest margins and impact
loan demand; changes in consumer spending, borrowing
and saving habits, whether due to changing business and
economic conditions, legislative and regulatory
initiatives, or other factors; changes in unemployment;
changes in customers’, suppliers’, and other
counterparties’ performance and creditworthiness;
asset/liability repricing risks and liquidity risks;
our liquidity requirements could be adversely affected
by changes to regulations governing bank and bank
holding company capital and liquidity standards as well
as by changes in our assets and liabilities;
competitive factors among financial services
organizations could increase significantly, including
product and pricing pressures, changes to third-party
relationships and our ability to attract, develop and
retain qualified bank professionals; clients could
pursue alternatives to bank deposits, causing us to
lose a relatively inexpensive source of funding;
uncertainty regarding the nature, timing and effect of
changes in banking regulations or other regulatory or
legislative requirements affecting the respective
businesses of Park and our subsidiaries, including
major reform of the regulatory oversight structure of
the financial services industry and changes in laws and
regulations concerning taxes, pensions, bankruptcy,
consumer protection, accounting, bank products and
services, fiduciary standards, securities and other
aspects of the financial services industry,
specifically the reforms provided for in the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010
(the Dodd-Frank Act) and the Basel III regulatory
capital reforms, as well as regulations already adopted
and which may be adopted in the future by the relevant
regulatory agencies, including the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau, the OCC, the FDIC, and the Federal
Reserve Board, to implement the Dodd-Frank Act’s
provisions, the Budget Control Act of 2011, the
American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, the JOBS Act, the
FAST Act and the Basel III regulatory capital reforms;
the effect of changes in accounting policies and
practices, as may be adopted by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board, the SEC, the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board and other regulatory
agencies, and the accuracy of our assumptions and
