    2016 Annual Report GreatWesternBank.com 1 Great Western Bancorp, Inc. Making Life Great 2 TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS Focusing on What Matters As a locally-focused community bank, our company has always been about building meaningful relationships with the individuals and businesses we serve. Simply put, our mission is to Make Life Great. We do that by living our values of putting the customer first and doing the right thing. Making Life Great is part of our culture and our employees live up to those values every day. In FY16, Making Life Great was defined in a number of new and exciting ways. Our financial performance for the most recent fiscal year was once again strong. Net income grew by 20.1% year- over-year and fully-diluted EPS increased by 21.6%. Each of these measures are calculated excluding the impact of non-recurring costs we incurred related to the acquisition of HF Financial Corp. Our return on average tangible common equity was an impressive 15.1%, driven largely by our outstanding efficiency ratio of 49.6%. Finally, we increased our quarterly dividend to $0.17 per share, an increase of 21%. Driving performance and results has always been a part of Making Life Great, but in FY16 our company delivered under pressure. Four months after National Australia Bank, Ltd. completed its divestiture of GWB, we returned to the acquisition arena and announced our agreement to acquire HF Financial Corp., a strong South Dakota-based organization with $1.2 billion in total assets. The acquisition, valued at $142 million, signaled a clear indication to the market that we were returning to our acquisitive roots.
