Operating net income to common stockholders was $42.2 million (operating EPS $0.84). Net interest income rose 4.4% sequentially to $114.8 million as net interest margin widened to 3.42%. Loans and core deposits grew sequentially at annualized rates of about 5% and 8%. Noninterest expenses (excluding merger items) edged down versus Q1.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), ConnectOne routinely supplements its evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP measures.
