Item 2.02 - Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On July 28, 2014, Park National Corporation (“Park”) issued a news release (the “Financial Results News Release”) announcing financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. A copy of this Financial Results News Release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
Park's management uses certain non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to evaluate Park's performance. Specifically, management reviews return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets and tangible common book value per common share. Management has included in the Financial Results News Release information relating to the return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets and tangible common book value per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. For purposes of calculating the return on average tangible common equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, net income available to common shareholders for each period is divided by average tangible common equity during the period. Average tangible common equity equals average shareholders' equity during the applicable period less average goodwill and other intangible assets during the applicable period. For the purpose of calculating the return on average tangible assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, net income available to common shareholders for each period is divided by average tangible assets during the period. Average tangible assets equals average assets during the applicable period less average goodwill and other intangible assets during the applicable period. For the purpose of calculating tangible common equity to tangible assets, a non-GAAP financial measure, tangible common equity is divided by tangible assets. Tangible common equity equals shareholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets, in each case at period end. Tangible assets equals total assets less goodwill and intangible assets, in each case at period end. For the purpose of calculating tangible common book value per common share, a non-GAAP financial measure, tangible common equity is divided by common shares outstanding at period end. Management believes that the disclosure of return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets and tangible common book value per common share presents additional information to the reader of the consolidated financial statements, which, when read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, assists in analyzing Park's operating performance and ensures comparability of operating performance from period to period, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of Park's peer financial holding companies and bank holding companies, while eliminating certain non-operational effects of acquisitions. In the Financial Results News Release, Park has provided a reconciliation of average tangible common equity to average shareholders' equity, average tangible assets to average assets, tangible common equity to shareholders' equity and tangible assets to total assets solely for the purpose of complying with SEC Regulation G and not as an indication that return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets and tangible common book value per common share are substitutes for return on average equity, return on average assets, shareholders' equity to total assets and common book value per common share, respectively, as determined by GAAP.

The “Park Parent Company” above excludes the results for SEPH, an entity which is winding down commensurate with the disposition of its problem assets. Management considers the “Ongoing operations” results to be reflective of the business of Park and its subsidiaries on a going forward basis. The discussion below provides some additional information regarding the segments that make up the “Ongoing operations”, followed by additional information on SEPH.
Vision Bank (“Vision”) merged with and into SEPH, a non-bank subsidiary of Park, following the sale of the Vision business to Centennial Bank (“Centennial”) on February 16, 2012. The results of Vision through February 16, 2012 are included in the SEPH results presented in the table above. The sale of the Vision business in the first quarter of 2012 resulted in a pre-tax gain of $22.2 million ($14.4 million after-tax), which is included in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 SEPH results presented in the table above. SEPH holds the remaining assets and liabilities retained by Vision subsequent to the sale. SEPH assets consist primarily of performing and nonperforming loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”). This segment represents a run-off portfolio of the legacy Vision assets.
The Park National Bank (PNB)
The table below reflects the results for PNB for the first and second quarters of 2014, for the first half of 2014, for the first half of 2013 and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

SEPH financial results for the first half of 2014 included net recoveries of $5.6 million. The net recoveries during the first half of 2014 consisted of charge-offs of $0.8 million, offset by recoveries of $6.4 million. Other income for the first six months ended June 30, 2014 at SEPH of $1.7 million was related to net gains on the sale of OREO of $1.7 million. Other expense increased by $0.8 million in the second quarter 2014 compared to the first quarter 2014. This increase was due to higher legal expenses related to loan collection activity.
On February 16, 2012, when Vision merged with and into SEPH, the loans then held by Vision were transferred to SEPH by operation of law at their fair market value and no allowance for loan loss is carried at SEPH. The loans included in both the performing and nonperforming portfolios have been charged down to their fair value. The table below provides additional information for SEPH regarding charge-offs as a percentage of unpaid principal balance, as of June 30, 2014.

As previously discussed, SEPH had net recoveries of $5.6 million and PNB had net charge-offs of $3.0 million for the six - month period ended June 30, 2014, resulting in an overall net recovery for Park. Included in PNB net charge-offs for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are recoveries of $1.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively, related to a participation from SEPH. Provision for loan losses for Park's ongoing operations (PNB and GFSC) was $2.1 million for the six - month period ended June 30, 2014, a $3.6 million decline from the $5.7 million provision for the same period in 2013. The table below provides additional information related to specific reserves and general reserves for Park's ongoing operations as of June 30, 2014, December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013.

Note: Table includes only those loans at PNB and GFSC, as these are the entities that have an ALLL balance. The table in the attached Exhibit 99.1 in the asset quality section includes all Park loans (including those at SEPH) and thus shows slightly different information.
As the table above shows, specific reserves were $6.3 million at June 30, 2014, a decrease of $4.2 million, compared to $10.5 million at December 31, 2013. The decline in specific reserves was largely related to the charge-off of approximately $4.7 million related to one loan relationship, which previously had a specific reserve of $4.8 million that was established in the third quarter of 2013. General reserves for Park’s ongoing operations increased to $51.6 million at June 30, 2014, an increase of $2.6 million, or 5.2%, compared to $49.0 million at December 31, 2013. The general reserve as a percentage of performing loans increased to 1.11% at June 30, 2014, compared to 1.09% at December 31, 2013. The increase in general reserves was primarily due to additional reserves established in the consumer loan portfolio, as this portfolio of loans has experienced significant growth through the first six months of 2014.
