The volatility in stockholders' equity related to accumulated other comprehensive loss from available-for-sale debt securities has been caused by fluctuations in interest rates including overall increases in rates as compared to market rates when most of C&N's securities were purchased. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is excluded from C&N's regulatory capital ratios.
On September 25, 2023, the Corporation announced a new treasury stock repurchase program. Under this program, C&N is authorized to repurchase up to 750,000 shares of its common stock. There were no shares repurchased during the three-month period ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, 26,034 shares were repurchased for a total cost of $443,000, at an average price of $17.02 per share. At December 31, 2024, there were 723,966 shares available to be repurchased under the program.
Citizens & Northern Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements. At December 31, 2024, Citizens & Northern Bank maintains regulatory capital ratios that exceed all capital adequacy requirements. Management expects the Bank to remain well-capitalized for the foreseeable future.
Trust assets under management by C&N's Wealth Management Group amounted to $1,347,853,000 at December 31, 2024, down 0.8% from $1,359,023,000 at September 30, 2024, and up 13.4% from $1,188,082,000 at December 31, 2023. Fluctuations in values of assets under management reflect the impact of market volatility.
Under U.S. GAAP, interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans are reported at their nominal amounts, with the tax benefit accounted for as a reduction in the income tax provision. C&N presents certain analyses and ratios with net interest income determined on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, which are non-GAAP financial measures as presented. C&N believes presentation of net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis provides investors with meaningful information for purposes of comparing the returns on tax-exempt securities and loans with returns on taxable securities and loans. The excess of net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis over the amounts reported under U.S. GAAP was $217,000, $205,000 and $199,000 for the fourth quarter 2024, third quarter 2024 and fourth quarter 2023, respectively. The excess of net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis over the amounts reported under U.S. GAAP was $819,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and $919,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

PPNR includes net interest income plus noninterest income minus total noninterest expense but excludes provision (credit) for credit losses, realized gains or losses on securities, the income tax provision and nonrecurring items included in earnings. Management believes disclosure of PPNR provides useful information for evaluating C&N's financial performance without the impact of realized gains or losses on securities or unusual items or events that may obscure trends in C&N's underlying performance. This non-GAAP data should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the comparable GAAP measure is provided below under the table "PPNR- NON- GAAP RECONCILIATION."
Tangible common book value per share, tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets and market value as a percentage of tangible common book value are non-GAAP ratios. Management believes this non-GAAP information is helpful in evaluating the strength of the C&N's capital and in providing an alternative, conservative valuation of C&N's net worth. The ratios shown above are based on the following calculations of tangible assets and tangible common equity:

Capital ratios for the most recent period are estimated.
The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP ratio that is calculated as shown above. For purposes of calculating the efficiency ratio, net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis includes amounts of interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans that have been increased to a fully taxable-equivalent basis, using C&N's marginal federal income tax rate of 21%. A reconciliation of net interest income under
U.S. GAAP as compared to net interest income as adjusted to a fully taxable-equivalent basis is provided below under the table "COMPARISON OF INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE."
