In 2013, the total number of ϐinancial institution merger announcements equaled 242.

For the merger transactions with reported deal ratios, the average price to tangible book value (P/TBV) ratio for the 2013 announcements at 1.28x was slightly higher than the average P/TBV ratio of 1.20x for the 2012 merger announcements.

That 3.9% drop essentially matched the percentage decline in 2012 and brought the number of banks to an historic low in the annuls of FDIC history. By the end of 2013, there were 17 fewer ϐinancial institutions headquartered in California than at the start of the year. The number of publicly‐traded California banks declined, with 2013 ending with seven fewer banks in the Carpenter & Company tracking report. Scarcity may be a contributing factor for the exceptional stock performance of the California banking industry. Over 83% of the companies tracked in the Carpenter & company stock report recorded higher stock prices, and more than 85% of the companies with rising stock prices experienced price gains well in excess of 10%. Largely due to the run‐up in stock prices, the market capitalization of California’s publicly‐traded banks and thrifts was 67% higher than at the end of 2012.

Industry Rankings: LTM through Sept. 2013 Returns on Average Assets and Average Equity

ABOUT THE RETURN RANKINGS Rankings of the 2013 returns on average assets and average equity are based upon data for California financial institutions, as of September 30, 2013, obtained from SNL Financial. Removed from this analysis are California non-depository trust companies. Wherever possible, the rankings were based upon earnings estimates that were adjusted for S-Corporate treatment. S-Corp returns, however, were not generally available for savings associations. The rankings were based upon the following metrics:

Returns on assets and equity for the LTM (last 12 months) ending September 30, 2013. Year-over-year change in the two measures

Note: No adjustments were make in the return data and, therefore, in the rankings for the following factors that may cause a distortion in the return ratios relative to other financial institutions:

A savings association that is a Sub-chapter S corporation. A financial institution with a high dependency on fee income. A financial institution that is owned by a holding company, especially a holding company

absorbing a portion of the operating expenses of the individual financial institution. A financial institution with a large income tax loss carry-forward or for a number of reason

does not have earnings that are not taxed at the full tax rate for California corporations.
