At December 31, 2015, the after-tax unrealized loss on the Company's available for sale portfolio was $4.1 million, as compared to an after-tax unrealized loss of $3.9 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease in the level of government core deposits between December 31, 2014 is primarily related to these deposit customers not receiving their normal government funding as a result of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania not timely passing a fiscal budget.
Capital
Stockholders' equity at December 31, 2015 totaled $283.0 million, compared to $265.5 million at December 31, 2014. Return on average stockholders' equity (ROE) for the fourth quarter of 2015 was 7.79%, compared to 7.03% for the previous quarter and 8.43% for the fourth quarter last year. Exclusive of net gains (losses) on sales/calls of securities and merger-related expenses, adjusted ROE was 8.38%* for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to 8.55%* for the same period last year. ROE for the year 2015 was 7.41%, compared to 8.46% for the year 2014. Exclusive of net gains on sales/calls of securities and certain nonrecurring expenses during 2015, adjusted ROE for the year 2015 was 8.75%* compared to 8.48%* for the year 2014.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This document contains supplemental financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The tables that follow present reconciliations of certain non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These reconciliations exclude certain nonrecurring charges incurred during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015, which the Company believes do not reflect the operating performance of the Company during those periods. These nonrecurring charges include (1) merger-related expenses during the third and fourth quarters of 2015 (which will continue to be incurred through the first quarter of 2016, when the merger is planned to occur), (2) stock-based compensation expense related to the immediate vesting of all outstanding employee stock options during the second quarter of 2015, (3) a write-off during the second quarter of 2015 of pre-construction costs related to a terminated land lease agreement for a planned future store, and (4) accelerated depreciation expense recognized during the first half of 2015 due to closing two stores. There have not been similar nonrecurring charges within the prior two years and, based on current information, the Company believes the nature of each nonrecurring charge is such that it is not reasonably likely to recur within two years. Additionally, these reconciliations exclude net gains from the sales/calls of securities for all periods presented. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of the Company and believes this presentation also increases the comparability of period-to-period results.
The Company believes these non-GAAP measures, in addition to GAAP measures, provide useful information for investors to evaluate the Company’s results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP measures, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP measures that may be presented by other companies.
