"Our outstanding team of bankers has delivered another strong quarter of well-managed growth," said George Martinez, Allegiance's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "We are pleased with our third quarter results despite an increase in our provision for loan losses, which signifies the strength of our Bank.  Allegiance's credit quality continues to be strong despite today's challenging market.  Our third quarter results reflect solid organic loan and deposit growth as we continue to focus on serving our customers and executing on our super-community bank growth strategy.

"October marks Allegiance's one-year anniversary as a public company.  We have achieved a lot in the past year, including generating strong internal growth and positioning ourselves for continued growth by adding exceptional bankers.  We are well on track to complete another outstanding year of increasing value to our shareholders leading into 2017," continued Martinez.

GAAP Reconciliation and Management’s Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)

Allegiance’s management uses certain non−GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to evaluate its performance. Specifically, Allegiance reviews tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common equity and the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Allegiance has included in this Earnings Release information relating to these non-GAAP financial measures for the applicable periods presented.  Allegiance believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to management and investors that is supplementary to our financial condition and results of operations computed in accordance with GAAP.  These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which Allegiance calculates the non-GAAP financial measures may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.
