Results of each business segment reflect revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities generated by the businesses in that segment. The Bank measures and evaluates the performance of each segment based on cash basis net income, return on average invested capital and economic profit. Cash basis results exclude non-cash charges related to goodwill and intangible amortization from business combinations. Segmented information also appears in Note 21 of the Bank’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
