Depository Products and Services
Deposits are our primary source of funds to support our interest-earning assets and provide a source of stable low-cost funds and deposit-related fee income. We offer traditional deposit products to businesses and other customers with a variety of rates and terms, including demand, money market, and time deposits. We also provide international banking services, multi-state deposit services, and asset management services. The Bank’s deposits are insured by the FDIC up to statutory limits.
Our branch network allows us to gather deposits, expand our brand presence and service our customers’ banking and cash management needs.

We face strong competition in gathering deposits from nationwide, regional, and community banks, credit unions, money market funds, brokerage firms and other non-bank financial services companies that target the same customers as we do. We actively compete actively for deposits and emphasize solicitation of noninterest-bearing deposits. We seek to provide a higher level of personal service than our larger competitors, many of whom have more assets, capital and resources than we do and who may be able to conduct more intensive and broader based promotional efforts to reach potential customers. Our cost of funds fluctuates with market interest rates and may be affected by higher rates being offered by other financial institutions. In certain interest rate environments, additional significant competition for deposits may be expected to arise from corporate and government debt securities and money market mutual funds. Competition for deposits is also affected by the ease with which customers can transfer deposits from one institution to another.

Many of the risks outlined above result from market conditions and are not controllable by us. When considering the markets in which to pursue real estate loans, we consider the market conditions, our current loan portfolio concentrations by property type and by market, and our past experiences with the borrower, within the specific market, and with the property type.
When underwriting real estate loans, we seek to mitigate risk by using the following framework:
•requiring borrowers to invest and maintain a meaningful cash equity interest in the properties securing our loans;
•reviewing each loan request and renewal individually;
•using a credit committee approval process for the approval of each loan requestrequests (or aggregated credit exposures) over a certain dollar amount;
•adhering to written loan acceptance standards, including among other factors, maximum loan to acquisition or construction cost ratios, maximum loan to as-is or stabilized value ratios, and minimum operating cash flow requirements;
•considering market rental and occupancy rates relative to our underwritten or projected rental and occupancy rates;
•considering the experience of our borrowers and our borrowers’ abilities to operate and manage the properties securing our loans;
•evaluating the supply of comparable real estate and new supply under construction in the collateral's market area;
•obtaining independent third-party appraisals that are reviewed by our appraisal department;
•obtaining environmental risk assessments; and
•obtaining seismic studies where appropriate.
With respect to real estate construction loans, in addition to the foregoing,points above, we attempt to mitigate project-specific risks by:
•considering the experience of our borrowers and our borrowers’ abilities to manage the properties during construction and into the stabilization periods;
•obtaining project completion guaranties from our borrowers;
•including covenants in our construction loan agreements that require the borrowers to fund costs that exceed the initial construction budgets;
•implementing a controlled disbursement process for loan proceeds in accordance with an agreed upon schedule, which usually results in the borrowers' equity being invested before loan advances commence and which ensures the costs to complete the projects are in balance with our remaining unfunded loan commitments;
•conducting project site visits and using construction consultants who review the progress of the project; and
•monitoring the construction costs compared to the budgeted costs and the remaining costs to complete.
SBA 7(a) and 504 program loans are subject to the risks outlined above and the risk that an SBA 7(a) guaranty may be invalid if specific SBA specific procedures are not followed. We seek to mitigate this risk by maintaining and adhering to additional policies specific to SBA loans which align with SBA requirements.

•compliance with consumer lending regulations;
•additional regulations and oversight by the CFPB; and
•the ability of the sub-servicers of the Bank’s student loans to service the loans in accordance with the terms of the loan purchase agreements.
We seek to mitigate the exposure to such risks through the direct approval of all internally originated consumer loans by reviewing each new loan request and each renewal individually and adhering to written credit policies. Each purchased pool of loans must meet thresholds we have established for weighted average credit scores, weighted average borrower annual income, and weighted average borrower monthly free cash flow. For all purchased student loans, we monitor the performance of the originator and the enforcement of our rights under the loan purchase agreement.

Financing
We depend on deposits and external financing sources to fund our operations. We employ a variety of financing arrangements, including term debt, subordinated debt, and equity. As a member of the FHLB, the Bank had secured financing capacity with the FHLB as of December 31, 20182021 of $3.7$4.0 billion, collateralized by a blanket lien on $5.4$6.2 billion of qualifying loans. The Bank also had secured financing capacity with the FRBSF of $2.0$1.4 billion as of December 31, 20182021 collateralized by liens on $2.7$1.8 billion of qualifying loans.
Information Technology Systems
We devote significant financial and management resources to maintain stable, reliable, efficient, secure and scalable information technology systems. Where possible, we utilize third-party software systems that are hosted and supported by nationally recognized vendors. We selectively employ proprietary software systems to support our specialty lending products. We work with our third-party vendors to monitor and maximize the efficiency of our use of their applications. We use integrated systems to originate and process loans and deposit accounts, which reduces processing time, automates numerous internal controls, improves customer experiences and reduces costs. Most customer records are maintained digitally. We also provide on-line,online, mobile, and telephone banking services to further improve the overall client experience. In 2018, we completed the migration of in-house and outsourced systems for managing customer accounts to an alternative platform to enhance the features and services available to our customers.
We use an enterprise data warehouse system in order to aggregate, analyze, and report key metrics associated with our customers and products. Data is collected across multiple systems so that standard and ad hoc reports are available to assist with managing our business.
16
We maintain an information technology strategic plan. This plan outlines how specific solutions support ourdefines the overall goals, analyzes infrastructure for capacity planning, details migration plans to replace aging hardwareinnovation and software, provides baseline projections for allocatingtechnology agenda and vision, tracks information technology staff, discussesand information security trends and measures, considers future technologies,priorities, and provides details on information technology initiatives over the next several years. Through our annual information technology budgeting process, we analyze our infrastructure for capacity planning, detail migration plans to replace aging hardware and software, and resource plan for internal and external information technology staffing needs against planned initiatives.
Protecting our systems to ensure the safety of our customers’customer information is critical to our business. We use multiple layers of protection to control access, detect unusual activity and reduce risk, including conductingrisk. We regularly conduct a variety of audits and vulnerability and penetration tests on our platforms, systems and applications and maintain comprehensive incident response plans to minimize potential risk to operations, and reduce the risk that cyber-attacks would be successful.risks, including cyber-attacks. To protect our business operations against disasters, we have a backup off-site core processing system and comprehensive recovery plans.
Risk Oversight and Management
We believe risk management is another core competency of our business. We have a comprehensive risk management process that measures, monitors, evaluates, and manages the risks we assume in conducting our activities. Our oversight of this risk management process is conducted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and its standing committees. The committees each report to the Board and the Board has overall oversight responsibility for risk management.
Our risk framework is structured to guide decisions regarding the appropriate balance between risk and return considerations in our business. Our risk framework is based upon our business strategy, risk appetite, and financial plans approved by our Board. Our risk framework is supported by an enterprise risk management program. Our enterprise risk management program integrates all risk efforts under one common framework. This framework includes risk policies, procedures, measured and reported limits and targets, and reporting. Our Board approves our risk appetite statement, which sets forth the amount and type of risks we are willing to accept in pursuit of achieving our strategic, business, and financial objectives. Our risk appetite statement provides the context for our risk management tools, including, among others, risk policies, delegated authorities, limits, portfolio composition, underwriting standards, and operational processes.
Competition
The banking business is highly competitive. We compete nationwide with other commercial banks and financial services institutions for loans and leases, deposits, and employees. Some of these competitors are larger in total assets and capitalization, with more offices over a wider geographic area and offer a broader range of financial services than our operations. Our most direct competition for loans comes from larger regional and national banks, diversified finance companies, venture debt funds, and service-focused community banks that target the same customers as we do. In recent years, competition has increased from institutions not subject to the same regulatory restrictions as domestic banks and bank holding companies. Those competitors include non-bank specialty lenders, insurance companies, private investment funds, investment banks, financial technology companies, and other financial and non-financial institutions.
Competition is based on a number of factors, including interest rates charged on loans and leases and paid on deposits, underwriting standards, loan covenants, required guarantees, the scope and type of banking and financial services offered, convenience of our branch locations, customer service, technological changes, and regulatory constraints. Many of our competitors are large companies that have substantial capital, technological, and marketing resources. Some of our competitors have substantial market positions and have access to a lower cost of capital or a less expensive source of funds. Because of economies of scale, our larger, nationwide competitors may offer loan pricing that is more attractive than what we are willing to offer.
Economic factors, along with legislative and technological changes, will have an ongoing impact on the competitive environment within the financial services industry. We work to anticipate and adapt to dynamic competitive conditions whether it is by developing and marketing innovative products and services, adopting or developing new technologies that differentiate our products and services, cross marketing, or providing highly personalized banking services. We strive to distinguish ourselves from other banks and financial services providers in our marketplace by providing an extremely high level of service to enhance customer loyalty and to attract and retain business.
17
We differentiate ourselves in the marketplace through the quality of service we provide to borrowers while maintaining competitive interest rates, loan fees and other loan terms. We emphasize personalized relationship banking services and the efficient decision-making of our lending business units. We compete effectively based on our in-depth knowledge of our borrowers' industries and their business needs based upon information received from our borrowers' key decision-makers, analysis by our experienced professionals, and interaction between these two groups; our breadth of loan product offerings and flexible and creative approach to structuring products that meet our borrowers' business and timing needs; and our dedication to superior client service. However, we can provide no assurance as to the effectiveness of these efforts on our future business or results of operations, as to our continued ability to anticipate and adapt to changing conditions, and as to sufficiently improving our services and/orand banking products in order to successfully compete in the marketplace.
Our business strategy is to operate a client-focused, well-capitalized and profitable nationwide bank dedicated to providing personal service to our business and individual customers. Our employees are our most important assets and they set the foundation for our ability to achieve our strategic objectives. We believe that we have a competitive advantage in the markets we serve because of our long-standing reputation for providing superior, relationship-based customer service. In order to continue to provide the expertise and customer service for which we are known, it is crucial that we continue to attract, retain, and develop top talent. To facilitate talent attraction and retention, we strive to make the Bank a diverse, inclusive, and safe workplace, with opportunities for our employees to grow and advance in their careers, supported by strong compensation, benefits, and health and wellness programs.
Oversight and Management
We strive to attract, develop, and retain highly qualified employees for each role in the organization. Working under this principle, our Human Resources Department is tasked with managing employment-related matters, including recruiting and hiring, onboarding and training, compensation planning, performance management, and professional development. Our Board of Directors and Board committees provide oversight on certain human capital matters, including our compensation and benefit programs. As of Januarynoted in its charter, our Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for periodically reviewing employee compensation programs and initiatives to ensure they are competitive and aligned with our stockholders’ long-term interests, including incentives and benefits, as well as our succession planning and strategies. Our Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee also works closely with the Risk Committee to monitor current and emerging human capital management risks and to mitigate exposure to those risks.
Demographics
At December 31, 2019,2021, we had 1,833 full time equivalentapproximately 2,200 full-time, part-time, and temporary employees, the overwhelming majority of which were full-time employees. None of the Company'sCompany’s employees are represented by a labor union or by collective bargaining agreements. During 2021, the number of employees increased by approximately 30% due primarily to the Civic and HOA Business acquisitions. During 2021, our employee turnover rate was approximately 15.1%.

Human Capital Management Objectives
Our key human capital management objectives are to attract, retain, and develop the highest quality talent. To support these objectives, our human resources programs are designed to develop talent to prepare them for critical roles and leadership positions for the future, reward and support employees through competitive pay, benefit, and perquisite programs, enhance the Company’s culture through efforts aimed at making the workplace more engaging and inclusive, acquire talent, and facilitate internal talent mobility to create a high-performing, diverse workforce, and evolve and invest in technology, tools and resources to enable employees to effectively and efficiently perform their responsibilities and achieve their full potential.
Some examples of key programs and initiatives that are focused to attract, develop and retain our workforce include:
Compensation and benefits. The philosophy and objectives underlying our compensation programs are to employ and retain talented employees to ensure we execute on our business goals, drive short- and long-term profitable growth of the Company, and create long-term stockholder value. In allocating total compensation, we seek to provide competitive levels of fixed compensation (base salary) and, through annual and long-term incentives, provide for increased total compensation when performance objectives are exceeded and appropriately lower total compensation if performance objectives are not met. Specifically:
•We provide employee wages that are competitive and consistent with employee positions, skill levels, experience, knowledge and geographic location. In 2021, we conducted a review of our starting salaries for our employees and raised our minimum starting wage from $15 per hour to $18 per hour.
•We engage nationally recognized outside compensation and benefits consulting firms to independently evaluate the effectiveness of our compensation and benefit programs and to provide benchmarking against our peers within the industry. This review resulted in our reducing the employee cost of our health insurance for our plans and increasing our 401(k) match to be more in-line with our peers.
•We align our executives’ long-term equity compensation with our stockholders’ interests by linking realizable pay with Company performance.
•Annual increases and incentive compensation are based on merit, which is communicated to employees at the time of hiring and documented through our talent management process as part of our annual review procedures and upon internal transfer and/or promotion.
•All full-time employees are eligible for health insurance (medical, dental, and vision), paid and unpaid leaves, a 401(k) plan with Company matching and life and disability/accident coverage. We also offer a variety of voluntary benefits that allow employees to select the options that meet their personal and family needs, including health savings and flexible spending accounts, paid parental leave, public transportation reimbursement, employee assistance programs, personalized wellness programs and a tuition reimbursement program.
Health, Safety and Wellness. The health, safety, and wellness of our employees is fundamentally connected to the success of our business. We provide our employees and their families with access to a variety of flexible, convenient and innovative health and wellness programs to help them improve or maintain their physical and mental well-being. The safety of our employees and customers is paramount. We strive to ensure that all employees feel safe in their respective work environment. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented significant changes that we determined were in the best interest of our employees, as well as the communities in which we operate, and which comply with government regulations. This includes having the vast majority of our non-branch employees work from home, while implementing additional safety measures and paying special bonuses for employees continuing critical on-site work. In 2021, we introduced an employer-paid mental wellness support benefit provided by a leading external service provider.
19
Talent Development. We believe that creating an environment which encourages continual learning and development is essential for us to maintain a high level of service and to achieve our goal to have every employee feel that they are a valued member of a successful company. This is why we have implemented a variety of learning and development resources for all levels of employees across the bank. Our first focus area has been on building our leadership talent pipeline. Based on our company-wide succession planning discussions, we implemented a new leadership program called LEAD for our most senior leaders. Facilitated by members of our executive team, this program prepares our future leaders for leadership roles within the bank. In addition to our new LEAD program, managers also have the opportunity to refine their skills through our Leadership Essentials program. This program teaches managers how to effectively manage, engage, and develop their teams. Employees have access to ongoing education that is relevant to the banking industry and their job function within the Company leveraging our new Linkedin Learning Platform and other key educational partnerships. We have a strong partnership with Pacific Coast Banking School and send a cohort of leaders for their graduate certificate in banking each year. Though our talent management processes of goal setting, performance reviews, succession planning and career development we strive to continually develop our people and meet the dynamic needs of our customers.
Diversity and Inclusion. We are committed to creating a culture of inclusion – where differences are both appreciated and respected. We take pride in providing equal employment opportunities and building a workplace culture where all employees feel supported and respected, and have equal access to career and development opportunities without regard to race, religion/creed, color, national origin, age, marital status, ancestry, sex, gender, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, veteran status, physical or mental disability, medical condition, military status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local laws. To help accomplish this, we have a SVP, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, who is supported by an Executive/LeadershipDiversity Committee and a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Council made up of 21 employee representatives from throughout the Company to advance our diversity and inclusion initiatives. We strive to build teams and grow talent that reflects the diversity of the clients and communities we serve and foster an inclusive and equitable culture/workplace.

20
Supervision and Regulation
General
The Company and Bank are subject to extensive regulation under federal and state banking laws that establish a comprehensive framework for our operations. Such regulation is intended to, among other things, protect the interests of customers, including depositors, and the federal deposit insurance fund, as well as to minimize risk to the banking system as a whole. These regulations are not, however, generally charged with protecting the interests of our stockholders or other creditors. Described below are elements of selected laws and regulations applicable to our Company or the Bank. The descriptions are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the statutes and regulations described. Changes in applicable law or regulations, particularly in the current U.S. political environment, and in their application by regulatory agencies, cannot be predicted, and they may have a material effect on the business, operations, and results of ourthe Company or the Bank. The current U.S. political environment adds additional uncertainty to the implementation, scope, and timing of regulatory reforms, including those related to the Dodd-Frank Act.
Bank Holding Company Regulation
As a bank holding company, PacWest is registered with and subject to supervision, regulation, and examination by the FRB under the BHCA, and we are required to file with the FRB periodic reports of our operations and additional information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries as the FRB may require.
The Dodd-Frank Act, which codified the FRB's long-standing "source-of-strength" doctrine, requires the Company to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank including committing resources to support the Bank even at times when the Company may not be in a financial position to do so. Similarly, under the cross‑guarantee provisions of the FDIA, the FDIC can hold any FDIC‑insured depository institution liable for any loss suffered or anticipated by the FDIC in connection with (i) the default of a commonly controlled FDIC‑insured depository institution or (ii) any assistance provided by the FDIC to such a commonly controlled institution.
Pursuant to the BHCA, we are required to obtain the prior approval of the FRB before we acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank or the ownership or control of voting shares of any bank if, after giving effect to such acquisition, we would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5 percent of the voting shares of such bank. Pursuant to the Bank Merger Act, the prior approval of the FDIC is required for the Bank to merge with another bank or purchase all or substantially all of the assets or assume any of the deposits of another FDIC-insured depository institution. In reviewing certain merger or acquisition transactions, the federal regulators will consider the assessment of the competitive effect and public benefits of the transactions, the capital position and managerial resources of the combined organization, the risks to the stability of the U.S. banking or financial system, our performance record under the CRA, our compliance with fair housing and other consumer protection laws, and the effectiveness of all organizations involved in combating money laundering activities. The ability of any bank holding company to acquire another bank holding company or bank is also significantly impacted by subjective decisions of federal regulators, including political appointees, as to whether any proposed merger would be consistent with national financial institutions policies. These subjective views may have an impact on the ability of any bank holding company to engage in a merger transaction.
Under the BHCA, we may not engage in any business other than managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to our subsidiaries and such other activities that the FRB deems to be so closely related to banking as “to be a proper incident thereto.” We are also prohibited, with certain exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5 percent of the voting shares of any company unless the company is engaged in banking activities or the FRB determines that the activity is so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident to banking. TheGenerally, the FRB’s approval must be obtained before the shares of any such company can be acquired.
The federal regulatory agencies also have general authority to prohibit a banking subsidiary or bank holding company from engaging in an unsafe or unsound banking practice. Depending upon the circumstances, the agencies could take the position that paying a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. Further, as discussed below under “-Capital Requirements,” we are required to maintain minimum ratios of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, Tier 1 capital, and total capital to total risk‑weighted assets, and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total adjusted quarterly average assets as defined in such regulations. The level of our capital ratios may affect our ability to pay dividends or repurchase our shares. See “Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Shareholder Matters - Dividends” and Note 20. 22. Dividend Availability and Regulatory Matters of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
21
The Dodd-Frank Act
The Dodd‑Frank Act, which was enacted in July 2010, significantly restructured the financial regulatory landscape in the United States, including the creation of a new systemic risk oversight body, the FSOC. The FSOC oversees and coordinates the efforts of the primary U.S. financial regulatory agencies (including the FRB, SEC, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the FDIC) in establishing regulations to address financial stability concerns. The Dodd-Frank Act and the FRB’s implementing regulations impose increasingly stringent regulatory requirements on financial institutions as their size and scope of activities increases.
In May 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (“EGRRCPA”) was enacted. While the EGRRCPA reduced the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on bank holding companies of our size, including in respect to stress testing, the Dodd-Frank Act nonetheless subjected us to additional significant regulatory requirements. In addition, as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act and our having in excess of $10 billion in total consolidated assets, the Company and the Bank are subject to the examination and supervision of the CFPB.CFPB with respect to compliance with certain consumer financial laws.
Transactions with Affiliates
Transactions between the Bank and its affiliates are regulated under federal banking law. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Federal Reserve Act, a bank may enter into “covered transactions” with its affiliates if the aggregate amount of the covered transactions to any single affiliate does not exceed 10 percent of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus or 20 percent of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus for covered transaction with all affiliates. Covered transactions include, among other things, extension of credit, the investment in securities, the purchase of assets, the acceptance of collateral or the issuance of a guaranty. The Dodd-Frank Act significantly expanded the coverage and scope of the limitations on affiliate transactions within a banking organization. Additionally, most transactions that the Bank engages in with an affiliate, including where an affiliate performs a service for the Bank, must be on similar terms and conditions as the Bank would get from a non-affiliate.
Dividends and Share Repurchases
The ability of the Company to pay dividends on or to repurchase its common stock, and the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company, may be restricted due to several factors including: (a) the DGCL (in the case of the Company) and applicable California law (in the case of the Bank), (b) covenants contained in our subordinated debenturesdebt and borrowing agreements, and (c) the regulatory authority of the FRB, the DBODFPI and the FDIC.
Our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders or to repurchase shares of our common stock is subject to the restrictions set forth in the DGCL. The DGCL provides that a corporation, unless otherwise restricted by its certificate of incorporation, may declare and pay dividends (or repurchase shares) out of its surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or for the preceding fiscal year, as long as the amount of capital of the corporation is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets. Surplus is defined as the excess of a corporation’s net assets (i.e., its total assets minus its total liabilities) over the capital associated with issuances of its common stock. Moreover, the DGCL permits a board of directors to reduce its capital and transfer such amount to its surplus. In determining the amount of surplus of a Delaware corporation, the assets of the corporation, including stock of subsidiaries owned by the corporation, must be valued at their fair market value as determined by the board of directors, regardless of their historical book value.
Our ability to pay cash dividends to our stockholders or to repurchase shares of our common stock may be limited by certain covenants contained in the indentures governing trust preferred securities issued by us or entities that we have acquired, and the debentures underlying the trust preferred securities. Generally the indentures provide that if an Event of Default (as defined in the indentures) has occurred and is continuing, or if we are in default with respect to any obligations under our guarantee agreement which covers payments of the obligations on the trust preferred securities, or if we give notice of any intention to defer payments of interest on the debentures underlying the trust preferred securities, then we may not, among other restrictions, declare or pay any dividends with respect to our common stock or repurchase shares of our common stock.
22
In connection with the decision regarding dividends and share repurchase programs, our Board will take into account general business conditions, our financial results, projected cash flows, capital requirements, contractual, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company and such other factors as deemed relevant. We can provide no assurance that we will continue to declare dividends on a quarterly basis or otherwise or to repurchase shares of our common stock. The declaration of dividends by the Company is subject to the discretion of our Board.
PacWest’s primary source of liquidity is the receipt of cash dividends from the Bank. Various statutes and regulations limit the availability of cash dividends from the Bank. Dividends paid by the Bank are regulated by the DBODFPI and FDIC under their general supervisory authority as it relates to a bank’s capital requirements. The Bank may declare a dividend without the approval of the DBODFPI and FDIC as long as the total dividends declared in a calendar year do not exceed either the retained earnings or the total of net earnings for three previous fiscal years less any dividend paid during such period. DividendsThe Bank had a cumulative net loss of $155.3 million during the three fiscal years of 2021, 2020, and 2019 due to the $1.47 billion goodwill impairment in the first quarter of 2020, compared to dividends of $776.0 million paid by the Bank during the previous three fiscal years exceeded the Bank's earnings during that same period by $28.5 million.period. Since the Bank had a retained deficit of $643.9 million$1.5 billion at December 31, 2018,2021, for the foreseeable future, any further cash dividends from the Bank to the Company will continue to require DBODFPI and FDIC approval.

Dividend Availability and Regulatory Matters of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for a discussion of other factors affecting the availability of dividends and limitations on the ability to declare dividends.
Capital Requirements
We are subject to the comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations known as Basel III. Basel III generally implemented the Basel Committee’s December 2010 final capital framework for strengthening international capital standards. Basel III became effective for the Company and the Bank as of January 1, 2015, subject to phase‑in periods for certain of its components and other provisions.
Basel III, among other things, (i) implemented increased capital levels for the Company and the Bank, (ii) introduced a new capital measure called CET1 and related regulatory capital ratio of CET1 to risk‑weighted assets, (iii) specified that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting certain revised requirements, (iv) mandated that most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components of capital, and (v) expanded the scope of the deductions from and adjustments to capital as compared to existing regulations. Under Basel III, for most banking organizations the most common form of Additional Tier 1 capital is non‑cumulative perpetual preferred stock and the most common form of Tier 2 capital is subordinated notes and a portion of the allowance for loan and leasecredit losses, in each case, subject to Basel III specific requirements.
Pursuant to Basel III, the minimum capital ratios are as follows:
•4.5% CET1 to risk‑weighted assets;
•6.0% Tier 1 capital (that is, CET1 plus Additional Tier 1 capital) to risk‑weighted assets;
•8.0% Total capital (that is, Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk‑weighted assets; and
•4% Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets as reported on regulatory financial statements (known as the “leverage ratio”).
23
Basel III also introduced a new “capital conservation buffer”, composed entirely of CET1, on top of the minimum risk‑weighted asset ratios. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of CET1 to risk‑weighted assets, Tier 1 to risk‑weighted assets or total capital to risk‑weighted assets above the minimum but below the capital conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall and the institution’s “eligible retained income” (that is, four quarter trailing net income, net of distributions and tax effects not reflected in net income). As of January 1, 2019, the capital conservation buffer is fully phased-in and the Company and the Bank are required to maintain an additional capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of CET1, effectively resulting in minimum ratios of (i) CET1 to risk‑weighted assets of at least 7%, (ii) Tier 1 capital to risk‑weighted assets of at least 8.5%, and (iii) total capital to risk‑weighted assets of at least 10.5%.
Basel III provides for a number of deductions from and adjustments to CET1. These include, for example, the requirement that deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences that could not be realized through net operating loss carrybacks and significant investments in non‑consolidated financial entities be deducted from CET1 to the extent that any one such category exceeds 10% of CET1 or all such items, in the aggregate, exceed 15% of CET1.
Basel III provides a standardized approach for risk weightings that, expands the risk‑weighting categories from the previous four Basel I‑derived categories (0%, 20%, 50% and 100%) to a larger and more risk‑sensitive number of categories, depending on the nature of the assets, generally rangingrange from 0% for U.S. government and agency securities, to 600%1,250% for certain equitytrading securitization exposures, resulting in higher risk weights for a variety of asset classes.classes than previous regulations.
The Company has outstanding subordinated debenturesdebt issued to trusts, which, in turn, issued trust preferred securities. The carrying amount of subordinated debenturesdebt totaled $453.8$863.3 million at December 31, 2018.2021. Under Basel III, none$131.0 million of the Company’s trust preferred securities arewere included in Tier 1 capital however $440.2 millionfollowing a reclassification of such trust preferred securities wasfrom Tier 2 capital during the third quarter of 2021, and the remaining $718.2 million of the Company's trust preferred securities continued to be included in Tier 2 capital at December 31, 2018.2021. We believe that, as of December 31, 2018,2021, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements under Basel III. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Regulatory Matters - Capital” for further information on regulatory capital requirements, capital ratios, and deferred tax asset limits as of December 31, 20182021 for the Company and the Bank.
Stress Testing
Though the Company and Bank are no longer required to prepare annual stress tests pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, we continue to prepare an annual stress test of our capital, consolidated earnings and losses under adverse economic and market conditions. Our stress test results are considered by the FRB and FDIC in evaluating our capital adequacy and could have a
negative impact on our ability to make capital distributions in the form of dividends or share repurchases.
Safety and Soundness Standards
As required by the FDIA, guidelines adopted by the federal bank regulatory agencies establish general standards relating to internal controls and information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth and quality, and compensation, fees and benefits. The agencies have adopted regulations and interagency guidelines which set forth the safety and soundness standards used to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If an agency determines that a bank fails to satisfy any standard, it may require the bank to submit an acceptable plan to achieve compliance, consistent with deadlines for the submission and review of such safety and soundness compliance plans. If an institution fails to submit an acceptable compliance plan or fails in any material respect to implement an acceptable compliance plan, the agency must issue an order directing action to correct the deficiency and may issue an order directing other actions of the types to which an undercapitalized institution is subject under the FDIA.
24
Deposit Insurance
The Bank is a state‑chartered, “non‑member” bank regulated by the DBODFPI and the FDIC. The Bank accepts deposits, and those deposits have the benefit of FDIC insurance up to the applicable limits.limits established by law. The applicable statutory limit for FDIC insurance for most types of accounts is $250,000.
Under the FDIC's risk-based deposit premium assessment system, the assessment rates for an insured depository institution are determined by an assessment rate calculator, which is based on a number of elements that measure the risk each institution poses to the Deposit Insurance Fund. The calculated assessment rate is applied to average consolidated assets less the average tangible equity of the insured depository institution during the assessment period to determine the dollar amount of the quarterly assessment. Under the current system, premiums are assessed quarterly and could increase if, for example, criticized loans and leases and/or other higher risk assets increase or balance sheet liquidity decreases.
Under the FDIA, the FDIC may terminate deposit insurance upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC.
Incentive Compensation
In 2010, federal banking regulators issued final joint agency guidance on Sound Incentive Compensation Policies. This guidance applies to executive and non-executive incentive plans administered by the Bank. The guidance notes that incentive compensation programs must (i) provide employees incentives that appropriately balance risk and reward, (ii) be compatible with effective controls and risk management and (iii) be supported by strong corporate governance, including oversight by the Board. The FRBFDIC reviews, as part of its regular examination process, the Company’sBank’s incentive compensation programs.
In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act requires the federal bank regulatory agencies and the SEC to establish joint regulations or guidelines prohibiting incentive based payment arrangements at specified regulated entities having at least $1 billion in total assets, such as the Company and the Bank, that encourage inappropriate risks by providing an executive officer, employee, director or principal stockholder with excessive compensation, fees, or benefits that could lead to material financial loss to the entity. In addition, these regulators must establish regulations or guidelines requiring enhanced disclosure of incentive based compensation arrangements to regulators.
The agencies proposed initial regulations in April 2011 and proposed revised regulations during the second quarter of 2016 that would establish general qualitative requirements applicable to all covered entities (and additional specific requirements for entities with total consolidated assets of at least $50 billion).entities. The proposed general qualitative requirements include (i) prohibiting incentive arrangements that encourage inappropriate risks by providing excessive compensation; (ii) prohibiting incentive arrangements that encourage inappropriate risks that could lead to a material financial loss; (iii) establishing requirements for performance measures to appropriately balance risk and reward; (iv) requiring board of director oversight of incentive arrangements; and (v) mandating appropriate record-keeping. As of this filing, the agencies have not finalized these proposed regulations.
In August 2015, the SEC adopted final rules implementing the pay ratio provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act by requiring companies to disclose the ratio of the compensation of its chief executive officer to the median compensation of its employees. Under SEC guidance issued in September 2017, companies such as the Company are able to use widely-recognized tests to determine who counts as an employee under the rule, use existing internal records such as payroll and tax information and describe the ratio as an estimate. For a registrant with a fiscal year ending on December 31, such as the Company, the pay ratio was first required as part of its executive compensation disclosure in proxy statements or Form 10-Ks filed in 2018.
25
Consumer Regulation
We are subject to a number of federal and state consumer protection laws that extensively govern our relationship with our customers. These laws include the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the Expedited Funds Availability Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Fair Housing Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Service Members Civil Relief Act and these laws’ respective state-law counterparts, as well as state usury laws and laws regarding unfair and deceptive acts and practices. Violations of applicable consumer protection laws can result in significant potential liability from litigation brought by customers, including actual and statutory damages, restitution and attorneys’ fees. Federal bank regulators, state attorneys general and state and local consumer protection agencies may also seek to enforce consumer protection requirements and obtain these and other remedies, including regulatory sanctions, customer rescission rights, action by the state attorneys general and local attorneys generalprosecutors in each jurisdiction in which we operate, and civil money penalties. Failure to comply with consumer protection regulations may also result in our failure to obtain any required bank regulatory approval for merger or acquisition transactions we may wish to pursue or our prohibition from engaging in such transactions even if approval is not required.
The CFPB has broad rulemaking, supervisory, and enforcement powers under various federal consumer financial protection laws. The CFPB is also authorized to engage in consumer financial education, track consumer complaints, request data, and promote the availability of financial services to underserved consumers and communities. The Bank is subject to direct oversight and examination by the CFPB.CFPB with respect to compliance with certain consumer financial laws. The CFPB has broad supervisory, examination, and enforcement authority over various consumer financial products and services, including the ability to require reimbursements and other payments to customers for alleged legal violations and to impose significant penalties, as well as injunctive relief that prohibits lenders from engaging in allegedly unlawful practices. The CFPB also has the authority to obtain cease and desist orders providing for affirmative relief or monetary penalties. State regulation of financial products and potential enforcement actions could also adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
USA PATRIOT Act and Anti-Money Laundering
The USA PATRIOT Act, designed to deny terrorists and others the ability to obtain access to the United States financial system, has significant implications for depository institutions, brokers, dealers and other businesses involved in the transfer of money. The USA PATRIOT Act, as implemented by various federal regulatory agencies, requires the Company and the Bank to establish and implement policies and procedures with respect to, among other matters, anti‑money laundering, compliance, suspicious activity and currency transaction reporting and due diligence on customers and prospective customers. The USA PATRIOT Act and its underlying regulations permit information sharing for counter‑terroristterrorism purposes between federal law enforcement agencies and financial institutions, as well as among financial institutions, subject to certain conditions, and require the FRB, the FDIC and other federal banking agencies to evaluate the effectiveness of an applicant in combating money laundering activities when considering a bank holding company acquisition and/or a bank merger act application.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) drafts regulations implementing the USA PATRIOT ACTAct and other anti-money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act legislation. In May 2017, a FinCEN rule became effective which requires financial institutions to obtain beneficial ownership information with respect to legal entities with which such institutions conduct business, subject to certain exclusions and exemptions.
We regularly evaluate and continue to enhance our systems and procedures to continue to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act and other anti‑money laundering initiatives. Failure of a financial institution to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, or to comply with all of the relevant laws or regulations, could have serious legal, strategic, and reputational consequences for the institution and result in material fines and sanctions.
26
Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulation
The United States has imposed economic sanctions that affect transactions with designated foreign countries, designated nationals and others. These rules are based on their administrationpromulgated and administered by OFAC. The OFAC‑administered sanctions targeting designated countries take many different forms. Generally, however, they contain one or more of the following elements: (i) restrictions on trade with or investment in a sanctioned country, including prohibitions against direct or indirect imports from and exports to a sanctioned country and prohibitions on “U.S. persons” engaging in financial transactions relating to making investments in, or providing investment‑related advice or assistance to, a sanctioned country; and (ii) a blocking of assets in which the government or specially designated nationals of the sanctioned country have an interest, by prohibiting transfers of property subject to U.S. jurisdiction (including property in the possession or control of U.S. persons). These sanctions that are applicable to countries and individuals are also imposed against some non-governmental organizations, associations, or other criminal networks. Blocked assets (e.g., property and bank deposits) cannot be paid out, withdrawn, set off or transferred in any manner without a license from OFAC. Failure to comply with these sanctions could have serious legal, strategic, and reputational consequences, and result in civil money penalties onagainst the Company and the Bank.
Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA")
The CRA generally requires the Bank to identify the communities it serves and to make loans and investments, offer products, make donations in, and provide services designed to meet the credit needs of these communities. The CRA also requires the Bank to maintain comprehensive records of its CRA activities to demonstrate how we are meeting the credit needs of our communities. These documents are subject to periodic examination by the FDIC. During these examinations, the FDIC rates such institutions’ compliance with CRA as “Outstanding,” “Satisfactory,” “Needs to Improve” or “Substantial Noncompliance.” The CRA requires the FDIC to take into account the record of a bank in meeting the credit needs of all of the communities served, including low‑and moderate‑income neighborhoods, in determining such rating. Failure of an institution to receive at least a “Satisfactory” rating could inhibit such institution or its holding company from undertaking certain activities, including acquisitions. The Bank received a CRA rating of “Outstanding” as of its most recent examination. In the case of a bank holding company, such as the Company, when applying to acquire a bank, savings association, or a bank holding company, the FRB will assess the CRA record of each depository institution of the applicant bank holding company in considering the application.
In April 2018, the U.S. Department of Treasury issued a memorandum to the federal banking regulators recommending changes to the CRA’s regulations to reduce their complexity and associated burden on banks. In 2019 and 2020, the federal banking regulators proposed for public comment rules to modernize the agencies’ regulations under the CRA. In July 2021, the FRB, FDIC, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued an interagency statement committing to joint agency action on CRA. In December 2021, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency adopted final CRA rules that were based largely on CRA rules issued jointly by the federal banking regulators in 1995 and subsequently revised, which the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency believed was an important step to the interagency process because it reestablished generally uniform rules that apply to all insured depository institutions. These recent actions may signal that additional joint regulatory action on this issue could be forthcoming in 2022. We will continue to evaluate the impact of any changes to the CRA regulations.
Customer Information Privacy and Cybersecurity
The FRB and other bank regulatory agencies have adopted guidelines for safeguarding confidential, personal, non‑public customer information. These guidelines require each financial institution, under the supervision and ongoing oversight of its board of directors or an appropriate committee thereof, to create, implement, and maintain a comprehensive written information security program designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer information, protect against any anticipated threats or hazard to the security or integrity of such information, and protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer. We have adopted a customer information security program to comply with these requirements.
27
The Gramm‑Leach‑Bliley Act of 1999 (the “GLBA”) requires financial institutions to implement policies and procedures regarding the disclosure of non-public personal information about consumers to non‑affiliated third parties. The GLBA requires disclosures to consumers on policies and procedures regarding the disclosure of such non-public personal information and, except as otherwise required by law, prohibit disclosing such information except as provided in the Bank’s policies and procedures. We have implemented privacy policies addressing these restrictions that are distributed regularly to all existing and new customers of the Bank.
In March 2015, federal regulators issued two related statements regarding cybersecurity. One statement indicates that financial institutions should design multiple layers of security controls to establish lines of defense and to ensure that their risk management processes also address the risk posed by compromised customer credentials, including security measures to reliably authenticate customers accessing Internet-based services of the financial institution. The other statement indicates that a financial institution’s management is expected to maintain sufficient business continuity planning processes to ensure the rapid recovery, resumption and maintenance of the institution’s operations after a cyber-attack involving destructive malware. A financial institution is also expected to develop appropriate processes to enable recovery of data and business operations and address rebuilding network capabilities and restoring data if the institution or its critical service providers fall victim to this type of cyber-attack. If we fail to observe the regulatory guidance, we could be subject to various regulatory sanctions, including financial penalties.
State regulators have been increasingly active in implementing privacy and cybersecurity standards and regulations. Recently, severalSeveral states have adopted regulations requiring certain financial institutions to implement cybersecurity programs and providing detailed requirements with respect to these programs, including data encryption requirements. Many states have also recently implemented or modified their data breach notification and data privacy requirements.requirements, and California and Colorado, which are two states in which we have branch offices, have enacted comprehensive data privacy legislation. In June 2018, the California legislature passed the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “California Privacy Act”“CCPA”), which is scheduled to taketook effect on January 1, 2020. TheIn November 2020, California voters approved the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, which coverstakes effect on January 1, 2023. Together, these California acts, which cover businesses that obtain or access personal information on California resident consumers, grantsgrant consumers enhanced privacy rights and control over their personal information and imposes significant requirements on covered companies with respect to consumer data privacy rights. In July 2021, Colorado became the third state – behind California and Virginia – to enact comprehensive data privacy legislation, commonly referred to as the Colorado Privacy Act, which is set to take effect on July 1, 2023. The Colorado Privacy Act is modeled in part off of the CCPA. We expect this trend of state-level activity to continue, and are continually monitoring developments in the states in which we operate. For a further discussion of risks related to privacy and cybersecurity, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" included in this Form 10-K.
Regulation of Certain Subsidiaries

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In the course of conducting our business operations, we are exposed to a variety of risks, some of which are inherent in the financial services industry and others of which are more specific to our own businesses. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened, and in some cases manifested, certain of the risks we normally face in operating our business. The discussion below addresses the most significant factors, of which we are currently aware, that could affect our businesses, results of operations and financial condition. Additional factors that could affect our businesses, results of operations and financial condition are discussed in "Item 1. Business - Forward-Looking Information." However, other factors not discussed below or elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K could adversely affect our businesses, results of operations and financial condition. Therefore, the risk factorsRisk Factors below should not be considered a complete list of potential risks we may face.
Any risk factorRisk Factor described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or in any of our other SEC filings could by itself, or together with other factors, materially adversely affect our liquidity, cash flows, competitive position, business, reputation, results of operations, capital position or financial condition, including materially increasing our expenses or decreasing our revenues, which could result in material losses.
General Economic and Market Conditions Risk
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and resulting substantial disruption to global and domestic economies could adversely impact our business operations, asset valuations, and financial results.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has created global and domestic economic and financial disruptions that adversely affected our business operations, asset valuations and financial results in 2020 and could adversely affect our business operations, asset valuations, and financial results in the future. The pandemic has negatively impacted the global and domestic economies, disrupted supply chains, lowered some equity market valuations, and created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets. Certain industries have been particularly hard hit by the pandemic, including the travel and hospitality industry, the restaurant industry and the retail industry.
As the pandemic unfolded in March 2020, the credit status of some of our borrowers was adversely affected. We immediately enhanced the monitoring of our loan and lease portfolio with particular emphasis on certain loan and lease portfolios that we expected to be most impacted by the pandemic, such as the hotel, retail, commercial aviation, restaurant, and oil services loan and lease portfolios. We responded by constructively working with affected borrowers, allowing for the deferral of loan payments and the extension of maturity dates, and amending our agreements with them when appropriate and warranted. We continue to closely monitor all of our portfolios, although with the increase in oil prices, the credit risk in the oil services portfolio has diminished. During 2021, we heightened our monitoring of real estate loans secured by office properties because of the risk tenants’ may reduce the office space they lease as some portion of the workforce continues to work remotely. Even with our actions to assist our borrowers coping with the pandemic, we may not collect all amounts contractually owed to us as noted under “Credit Risk” below.
In addition, the pandemic has resulted in remote working environments, travel restrictions, business entry requirements, and proposed return-to-office vaccination and testing requirements. Should economic impacts of COVID-19 persist or further deteriorate, this macroeconomic environment could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The pandemic could also influence the recognition of the provision for credit losses in our loan portfolios and could increase our allowance for credit losses, depending on the duration of the pandemic, the ongoing impact of government stimulus and the ongoing impact on the overall economy. The provision for credit losses reflects estimates of future credit losses, however the actual credit losses that our loan portfolio may experience remains uncertain since the economic cycle is not complete, particularly as businesses remain closed and as more customers may draw on their lines of credit or seek additional loans to help finance their businesses.
Similarly, because of changing economic and market conditions affecting issuers, the securities we hold may lose value. The volatility in the equity markets, particularly early in the pandemic, has impacted our asset valuations, as evidenced by our goodwill impairment charge in the first quarter of 2020, and asset valuations of goodwill or other assets could be further impacted depending on future developments caused by COVID-19.
29
As an essential service, our business operations have continued during the pandemic, however they may be disrupted if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic. To protect the health and safety of our employees and communities, most of our employees in non-client facing roles continue to work remotely. Employees who enter Company branches and offices comply with indoor mask mandates as applicable under state and local guidance. Our branch locations are also prepared to respond to evolving pandemic risks through various actions depending on the circumstances, such as closing lobbies if a drive thru is available, temporarily closing if located within close proximity to another branch or at certain times reducing hours of operation. We may also experience operational difficulties, including increased cybersecurity risk, due to the remote working environments of our employees. We may also experience additional operational risk due to difficulties experienced by our third-party service providers.
Because there have been no comparable recent global pandemics that resulted in a similar global impact, the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business operations, asset valuations and financial results will depend on future developments which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted. These include the scope and duration of the pandemic, including new strains of the virus, the efficacy and distribution of, and participation in, vaccination programs, the continued effectiveness of our business continuity plan, the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our employees, customers and third-party service providers, as well as other market participants, and the effectiveness of actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. If the pandemic continues to spread, morph or otherwise results in a continuation or worsening of the current economic and commercial environments, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to pay dividends, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios could be materially adversely affected.
Our business is adversely affected by unfavorable economic, market, and marketpolitical conditions.
An economic recession or a downturn in various markets could have one or more of the following adverse effects on our business:
•a decrease in the demand for our loans and leases and other products and services offered by us;
•a decrease in our deposit balances due to overall reductions in the accounts of customers;
•a decrease in the value of collateral securing our loans and leases;
•an increase in the level of nonperforming and classified loans and leases:leases;
•an increase in provisions for credit losses and loan and lease charge-offs;
•a decrease in net interest income derived from our lending and deposit gathering activities;
•a decrease in the Company's stock price;
•a decrease in our ability to access the capital markets; or
•an increase in our operating expenses associated with attending to the effects of certain circumstances listed above.
30
Credit Risk
Credit Risk is the Risk of Loss Arising from the Inability or Failure of a Borrower or Counterparty to Meet itsIts Obligation.
We may not recovercollect all amounts that are contractually owed to us by our borrowers.
We are dependent on the collection of loan and lease principal, interest, and fees to partially fund our operations. A shortfall in collections and proceeds may impair our ability to fund our operations or to repay our existing debt.
When we loan money, commit to loan money or enter into a letter of credit or other contract with a counterparty, we incur credit risk. The credit quality of our portfolio can have a significant impact on our earnings. We expect to experience charge-offs and delinquencies on our loans and leases in the future. Many borrowers have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic consequences, and may continue to be similarly or more severely affected in the future. Our clients'borrowers' actual operating results may be worse than our underwriting indicated when we originated the loans and leases, and in these circumstances, if timely corrective actions are not taken, we could incur substantial impairment or loss of the value on these loans and leases. We may fail to identify problems because our clientborrower did not report them in a timely manner or, even if the clientborrower did report the problem, we may fail to address it quickly enough or at all. Even if clientsborrowers provide us with full and accurate disclosure of all material information concerning their businesses, we may misinterpret or incorrectly analyze this information. Mistakes may cause us to make loans and leases that we otherwise would not have made or to fund advances that we otherwise would not have funded, either of which could result in losses on loans and leases, or necessitate that we significantly increase our allowance for loan and lease losses. As a result, we could suffer loan losses and have nonperforming loans and leases, which could have a material adverse effect on our net earnings and results of operations and financial condition, to the extent the losses exceed our allowance for loan and lease losses.
Some of our loans and leases are secured by a lien on specified collateral of the borrower and we may not obtain or properly perfect our liens or the value of the collateral securing any particular loan may not protect us from suffering a partial or complete loss if the loan becomes nonperforming and we proceed to foreclose on or repossess the collateral. In such event, we could suffer loan losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our net earnings, allowance for loan and lease losses, financial condition, and results of operations.
Additionally, loans to venture-backed companies support the borrowers’ operations, including operating losses, working capital requirements and fixed asset acquisitions. Venture-backed borrowers are at various stages in their development and are, generally, reporting operating losses. The primary sources of repayment are future additional venture capital equity investments or the sale of the company or its assets. Our venture-backed borrowers’ business plans may fail, increasing the likelihood for credit losses related to loans to venture-backed companies.
Our allowance for credit losses may not be adequate to cover actual losses.
31
Our federal and state regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, review our loans and leases and allowance for credit losses. While we believe our allowance for credit losses is appropriate for the risk identified in our loan and lease portfolio, we cannot provide assurance that we will not further increase the allowance for credit losses, that it will be sufficient to address losses, or that regulators will not require us to increase this allowance. We also cannot be certain that actual results will be consistent with forecasts and assumptions used in our CECL modeling. Any of these occurrences could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. SeeFor more information, see Note 1(i). Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 7. Management's Discussion8. Financial Statements and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for more information.Supplementary Data."
Our loans and leases are concentrated by location, collateral value, and borrower type which could exacerbate credit losses if certain markets or industries were to experience economic difficulties or operating issues.
Real estate mortgage loans and real estate construction and land loans comprised 57%64% of our total loans and leases at December 31, 2018.2021. Of total loans and leases, 32%39% are secured by real estate collateral located in California, 20%25% are secured by multi-family properties, and 5%4% are secured by commercial real estate construction projects.
For real estate mortgage loans, the respective primary and secondary sources of loan repayments are the net operating incomes of the properties and the proceeds from the sales or refinancing of the properties. For real estate construction and land loans, the primary source of loan repayments is the proceeds from the sales or refinancing of the properties following the completion of construction and the stabilization/attainment of sufficient debt service coverage. As such, our commercial real estate borrowers generally are required to refinance the loans with us or another lender or sell the properties to repay our loans. A portion of our real estate loans are secured by residential properties. Decreases in residential property values could lead to increased credit losses for these loans.
We have a number of large credit relationships and individual commitments.
At December 31, 2018, we had 28 credit relationships with aggregate2021, there were 13 individual real estate construction and land commitments greater than or equal to $100 million with the largest commitment being $181 million. These 28 relationships had commitments that totaled $4.8 billion and corresponding outstanding balances of $2.8 billion. These relationships include loans to borrowers where a common enterprise has been determined to exist. Examples of a common enterprise are control through majority ownership, common management, or the sharing of a material guarantor. The aggregated loans typically are not cross collateralized and each borrower's performance does not usually affect the collectability of the other loans in the aggregation.
At December 31, 2018, our largest2021, these 13 individual loancommitments totaled $1.6 billion and had an aggregate outstanding balance of $587 million. The projects financed by these commitments are nine multi-family projects, one condominium project, one mixed use property, one life science office property, and one industrial project. For these 13 commitments, the average commitment to budgeted project cost ratio was $155.0 million and56.4%.
At December 31, 2021, we had six13 individual loan commitments eachgreater than or equal to $150 million that ranged in size from $150 million to $500 million and totaled $3.3 billion and had an aggregate outstanding balance of $150.0 million. These$1.5 billion. Six of these commitments totaling $1.9 billion were for equity fund loans, four of these commitments totaling $854 million were lender finance loans, and commercial construction loans. At December 31, 2018, our ten largest individual loanone of these commitments totaled $1.5 billion and had corresponding outstanding balances that totaled $732.7 million. These ten largest commitments ranged from $130.0totaling $181 million to $155.0 million. These commitments were for equity fund loans, lender finance loans, commercial construction loans, other commercial real estate loans, and secured business loans. At December 31, 2017, our ten largest individual loan commitments totaled $908.9 million and had corresponding outstanding balances that totaled $516.2 million. These ten largest commitments ranged from $75.0 million to $110.0 million. These commitments were forwas a residential construction lender finance loans, commercial construction loans, other commercial real estate, hospitality loans, and income producing residential loans.
A significant loss related to one of our large lending relationships or individual commitments could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

A slowdown in venture capital investment levels may reduce the market for venture capital investment for our Venture Bankingventure banking clients, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
Market Risk
Market Risk isIs the Risk thatThat Market Conditions May Adversely Impact the Value of Assets or Liabilities or Otherwise Negatively Impact Earnings. Market Risk isIs Inherent toTo the Financial Instruments Associated with ourOur Operations, Including Loans, Deposits, Securities, Short-term Borrowings, Long-term Debt, and Derivatives.
Our business is subject to interest rate risk, and variations in interest rates may materially and adversely affect our financial performance.
Changes in the interest rate environment may reduce our profits. It is expected that we will continue to realize income from the differential or "spread" between the interest earned on loans, securities and other interest-earning assets, and interest paid on deposits, borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest spreads are affected by the difference between the maturities and repricing characteristics of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes in market interest rates generally affect loan volume, loan yields, funding sources and funding costs. Our net interest spread depends on many factors that are partly or completely out of our control, including competition, general economic conditions, and federal economic monetary and fiscal policies, and generalin particular, the Federal Reserve Board. After steadily increasing the target federal funds rate in 2017 and 2018, the Federal Reserve Board in 2019 decreased the target federal funds rate by 75 basis points, and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, an additional 150 basis point decrease to a range of 0.00% to 0.25% as of March 31, 2020 where it has remained. A prolonged low interest rate environment could negatively impact our net interest margin as assets reprice that are not subject to interest rate floors. The Federal Reserve Board has signaled that an increase in rates is coming but the exact timing and extent remain unknown and are largely subject to economic conditions.
While an increase in interest rates may increase our loan yield, it may adversely affect the ability of certain borrowers with variable ratevariable-rate loans to pay the contractual interest and principal due to us. Following an increase in interest rates, our ability to maintain a positive net interest spread is dependent on our ability to increase our loan offering rates, replace loans that mature and repay or that prepay before maturity with new originations, minimize increases on our deposit rates, and maintain an acceptable level and composition of funding. We cannot provide assurances that we will be able to increase our loan offering rates and continue to originate loans due to the competitive landscape in which we operate. Additionally, we cannot provide assurances that we can minimize the increases in our deposit rates while maintaining an acceptable level of deposits. Finally, we cannot provide any assurances that we can maintain our current levels of noninterest-bearing deposits as customers may seek higher-yielding products when interest rates increase.
Accordingly, changes in levels of interest rates could materially and adversely affect our net interest spread, net interest margin, cost of deposits, asset quality, loan origination volume, average loan portfolio balance, deposit balances, liquidity, and overall profitability.
33
We may be adversely impacted by the transition from LIBOR as a reference rate.
In 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority announced that after 2021 it will no longer compel banks to submit the rates required to calculate LIBOR. In November 2020, the administrator of LIBOR announced it will consult on its intention to extend the retirement date of certain offered rates whereby the publication of the one week and two month LIBOR offered rates will cease after December 31, 2021; but, the publication of the remaining LIBOR offered rates will continue until June 30, 2023.Given consumer protection, litigation, and reputation risks, the bank regulatory agencies have indicated that entering into new contracts that use LIBOR as a reference rate after December 31, 2021 would create safety and soundness risks and that they will examine bank practices accordingly. Therefore, the agencies encouraged banks to cease entering into new contracts that use LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as practicable and in any event by December 31, 2021.
To identify a successor rate for LIBOR in the United States, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”), a U.S.-based group convened by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was formed. The ARRC has identified SOFR as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR. SOFR is a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, and is based on directly observable U.S. Treasury-backed repurchase transactions. On July 29, 2021, the ARCC formally recommended SOFR as its preferred alternative replacement rate for LIBOR.
Starting in August 2019, we began including fallback language in our new loan agreements that would allow us to substitute an alternative reference rate in the event LIBOR became unavailable as a published reference rate. As of December 31, 2021, we permanently ceased originating any new loans or entering into any transaction that would increase our LIBOR based exposure. For all variable-rate loans, the Company primarily offers Prime and SOFR as the variable rate index, but may consider alternative rates such as the American Interbank Offered Rate (“Ameribor”) and others based on market condition and/or the type of loan or financial instrument. Nonetheless, we have significant legacy portfolios of loans, securities, and TruPS borrowings that are either directly or indirectly dependent on LIBOR. As of December 31, 2021, we had $7.6 billion of outstanding loans for which the repricing index rate was tied to LIBOR, of which $5.6 billion had maturity dates after June 30, 2023.
The transition from LIBOR could create considerable costs and additional risk. Although the administrator of LIBOR has announced its intention to extend the publication of most tenors of LIBOR for U.S. dollars through June 30, 2023, we cannot predict whether or when LIBOR will actually cease to be available, whether SOFR will become the widely-accepted market benchmark in its place or what impact such a transition may have on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The uncertainty as to the nature and effect of the discontinuance of LIBOR may adversely affect the value of, the return on or the expenses associated with our financial assets and liabilities that are based on or are linked to LIBOR, may require extensive changes to the contracts that govern these LIBOR-based products as well as our systems and processes, and could impact our pricing and interest rate risk models, our loan product structures, our funding costs, our valuation tools and result in increased compliance and operational costs. In addition, the market transition away from LIBOR to an alternative reference rate could prompt inquiries or other actions from regulators in respect of our preparation and readiness for the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate, and result in disputes, litigation or other actions with counterparties regarding the interpretation and enforceability of certain fallback language in LIBOR-based financial instruments. Furthermore, failure to adequately manage this transition process with our customers could adversely impact our reputation.
Although we are currently unable to assess the ultimate impact of the transition from LIBOR, the failure to adequately manage the transition could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
34
The value of our securities in our investment portfolio may decline in the future.
The fair market value of our investment securities may be adversely affected by general economic and market conditions, including changes in interest rates, implied credit spreads, and the occurrence of any events adversely affecting the issuer of particular securities in our investments portfolio or any given market segment or industry in which we are invested. We analyze our securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale, on a quarterly basis to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.measure currently expected credit losses. The process for determining whether impairment is other-than-temporarycurrently expected credit losses usually requires complex, subjective judgments about the future financial performance of the issuer in order to assess the probability of receiving principal and interest payments sufficient to recover our amortized cost of the security. Because of changing economic and market conditions affecting issuers, we may be required to recognize other-than-temporary impairmentcredit losses in future periods, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Capital and Liquidity Risk
Capital and Liquidity Risk isIs the Potential InabilityRisk of Loss Resulting from Insufficient Capital Levels or Inadequate Liquid Assets That Could Impair Our Ability to Operate Free of Regulatory Enforcement Actions and to Meet ourOur Contractual and Contingent Financial Obligations, On- or Off-balanceOff-Balance Sheet, as theyThey Become Due.
We are subject to capital adequacy standards and liquidity rules, and a failure to meet these standards could adversely affect our financial condition.
The Company and the Bank are each subject to capital adequacy and liquidity rules and other regulatory requirements specifying minimum amounts and types of capital that must be maintained. From time to time, the regulators implement changes to these regulatory capital adequacy and liquidity guidelines. If we fail to meet these minimum capital and liquidity guidelines and other regulatory requirements, we may be restricted in the types of activities we may conduct and may be prohibited from taking certain capital actions, such as making TruPS payments or paying executive bonuses or dividends, and repurchasing or redeeming capital securities.
We may need to raise additional capital in the future and such capital may not be available when needed or at all.
We are required by federal and state regulators to maintain adequate levels of capital. We may need to raise additional capital in the future to meet regulatory or other internal requirements. As a publicly traded company, a likely source of additional funds is the capital markets, accomplished generally through the issuance of equity, both common and preferred stock, and the issuance of subordinated debentures.debt. Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on, among other things, conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside of our control, and our financial performance.
We cannot provide any assurance that access to such capital will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Any occurrence that may limit our access to the capital markets, such as a decline in the confidence of debt purchasers or counter-parties participating in the capital markets, may materially and adversely affect our capital costs and our ability to raise capital and, in turn, our liquidity. Further, if we need to raise capital in the future, we may have to do so when many other financial institutions are also seeking to raise capital and would then have to compete with those institutions for investors. The inability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms when needed could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
35
We are subject to liquidity risk, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Effective liquidity management is essential for the operation of our business. Although we have implemented strategies to maintain sufficient and diverse sources of funding to accommodate planned, as well as unanticipated, changes in assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet commitments under various economic conditions, an inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale of investment securities and other sources could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically or the financial services industry in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact our access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of our business activity due to a market disruption, a decrease in the borrowing capacity assigned to our pledged assets by our secured creditors, or adverse regulatory action against us. Deterioration in economic conditions and the loss of confidence in financial institutions may increase our cost of funding and limit our access to some of our customary sources of liquidity, including, but not limited to, inter-bank borrowings and borrowings from the FRBSF and FHLB. Our ability to acquire deposits or borrow could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as a severe disruption of the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry generally as a result of conditions faced by banking organizations in the domestic and international credit markets.
Regulatory, Compliance and Legal Risk
Regulatory, Compliance and Legal Risk Is the Risk of Loss Related to Violations of Laws, Rules, or Regulations, or from Non-Conformance with Prescribed Practices, Internal Policies and Procedures, Contractual Obligations and Other Legal and Ethical Standards.
Our participation in the SBA PPP loan program exposes us to risks related to noncompliance with the PPP, as well as litigation risk related to our administration of the PPP loan program, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The Company is a participating lender in the PPP, a loan program administered through the SBA, that was created to help eligible businesses, organizations and self-employed persons fund their operational costs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under this program, the SBA guarantees 100% of the amounts loaned under the PPP.
The PPP opened on April 3, 2020; however, because of the short window between the passing of the CARES Act and the opening of the PPP, there was some ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operation of the PPP. Subsequent rounds of legislation and associated agency guidance have not provided necessary clarity and have created potential additional inconsistencies and ambiguities. Accordingly, the Company is exposed to risks relating to noncompliance with the PPP.
Additionally, since the launch of the PPP, several larger banks have been subject to litigation regarding the process and procedures that such banks used in processing applications for the PPP, as well as litigation regarding the alleged nonpayment of fees that may be due to certain agents who facilitated PPP loan applications. The Company may be exposed to the risk of litigation, from both customers and non-customers that approached the Bank regarding PPP loans, regarding its process and procedures used in processing applications for the PPP. If any such litigation is filed against the Company and is not resolved in a manner favorable to the Company, it may result in significant financial liability or adversely affect the Company’s reputation. Regardless of outcome, litigation can be costly and distracting.Any financial liability, litigation costs or reputational damage caused by PPP-related litigation could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
PPP loans are fixed, low interest rate loans that are guaranteed by the SBA and subject to numerous other regulatory requirements, and a borrower may apply to have all or a portion of the loan forgiven.If PPP borrowers fail to qualify for loan forgiveness, we face a heightened risk of holding these loans at unfavorable interest rates for an extended period of time. While the PPP loans are guaranteed by the SBA, various regulatory requirements will apply to our ability to seek recourse under the guarantees, and related procedures are currently subject to uncertainty.
36
In addition, the Company may be exposed to credit risk on PPP loans if a determination is made by the SBA that there is a deficiency in the manner in which the loan was originated, funded, or serviced, such as an issue with the eligibility of borrower to receive a PPP loan, which may or may not be related to the ambiguity in the laws, rules and guidance regarding the operations of the PPP. If a deficiency is identified, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty, or, if it has already paid under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency from the Company.
We are subject to extensive regulation, which could materially and adversely affect our business.
The banking industry is extensively regulated and supervised under both federal and state laws and regulations that are intended primarily for the protection of depositors, customers, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole, not for the protection of our stockholders and creditors. The Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the FRB, and the Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the FDIC, DBODFPI and CFPB. The laws and regulations applicable to us govern a variety of matters, including, but not limited to, permissible types, amounts and terms of loans and investments we make, the maximum interest rate that may be charged, consumer disclosures on the products and services we offer, the amount of reserves we must hold against our customers' deposits, the types of deposits we may accept and the rates we may pay on such deposits, the establishment of new branch offices by the Bank, maintenance of adequate capital and liquidity, restrictions on dividends, and establishment of new offices by the Bank.stock repurchases. We must obtain approval from our regulators before engaging in certain activities, including certain acquisitions, and there can be no assurance that any regulatory approvals we may require will be obtained, or obtained without conditions, either in a timely manner or at all. Our regulators have the ability to compel us to, or restrict us from, taking certain actions entirely, such as actions that our regulators deem to constitute unsafe or unsound banking practice. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent violations of the extensive federal and state regulations, any failure to comply with any applicable laws or regulations, or regulatory policies and interpretations of such laws and regulations, could result in regulatory enforcement actions, civil monetary penalties, or damage to our reputation, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operation.
Regulations affecting banks and other financial institutions are undergoing continuous review and frequentfrequently change. The ultimate effect of such changes cannot be predicted. Because our business is highly regulated, compliance with such regulations and laws may increase our costs and limit our ability to pursue business opportunities. Also, participation in any future specific government stabilization programs may subject us to additional restrictions. There can be no assurance that laws, rules, and regulations, including any future government stabilization program, will not be proposed or adopted in the future, which could (i) subject us to additional restrictions, (ii) make compliance much more difficult or expensive, (ii)(iii) restrict our ability to originate, broker, or sell loans or accept certain deposits, (iii)(iv) further limit or restrict the amount of commissions, interest, or other charges earned on loans originated or sold, or (iv)(v) otherwise materially and adversely affect our business or prospects for business. While new legislation in 2018 scaled back portions of the Dodd-Frank Act, and the currentnew administration in the United States may ultimately roll backadopt, enhance or modify certain of the regulations adopted since the financial crisis, future changes in bank regulation, are uncertain and any such new, enhanced or modified regulations could negatively impactadversely affect our business.financial condition or results of operations.
Though the Company and Bank are no longer required to prepare annual stress tests pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, we continue to prepare an annual internal capital stress test of our capital, consolidated earnings and losses under adverse economic and market conditions. Our stress test results are considered by the FRB and FDIC in evaluating our capital adequacy and could have a negative impact on our ability to make capital distributions in the form of dividends or share repurchases.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to changes in federal and state tax laws, interpretation of existing laws, and examinations and challenges by taxing authorities.
Our financial performance is impacted by federal and state tax laws. Given the current economic and political environment, and ongoing budgetary pressures, the enactment of new federal or state tax legislation or new interpretations of existing tax laws could occur. The enactment of such legislation, or changes in the interpretation of existing law, including provisions impacting income tax rates, apportionment, consolidation or combination, income, expenses, and credits, may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity.
37
In the normal course of business, we are routinely subjected to examinations and audits from federal, state, and local taxing authorities regarding tax positions taken by us and the determination of the amount of taxtaxes due. These examinations may relate to income, franchise, gross receipts, payroll, property, sales and use, or other tax returns filed, or not filed, by us.returns. The challenges made by taxing authorities may result in adjustments to the amount of taxes due, and may result in the imposition of penalties and interest. If any such challenges are not resolved in our favor, they could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity.
We are subject to claims and litigation which could adversely affect our cash flows, financial condition, and results of operations, or cause us significant reputational harm.
We and certain of our subsidiariesdirectors, officers, and certain of our and their directors and officerssubsidiaries may be involved, from time to time, in reviews, investigations, litigation, and other proceedings pertaining to our business activities. If claims or legal actions, whether founded or unfounded, are not resolved in a favorable manner to us, they may result in significant financial liability. Although we establish accruals for legal matters when and as required by U.S. GAAP and certain expenses and liabilities in connection with such matters may be covered by insurance, the amount of loss ultimately incurred in relation to those matters may be substantially higher than the amounts accrued and/or insured. Substantial legal liability could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation.
Regulations relating to privacy, information security, and data protection could increase our costs, affect or limit how we collect and use personal information, and adversely affect our business opportunities.
We are subject to various privacy, information security and data protection laws, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which among other things requires privacy disclosures, and maintenance of a robust security program that are increasingly subject to change which could have a significant impact on our current and planned privacy, data protection and information security-related practices, our collection, use, sharing, retention and safeguarding of consumer or employee information, and some of our current or planned business activities.
Additionally, many states have implemented or modified their data breach notification and data privacy requirements, and California and Colorado, which are two states in which we have branch offices, have enacted comprehensive data privacy legislation. The California legislature passed the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), which came into effect on January 1, 2020, and the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, which takes effect on January 1, 2023. Together, these California acts, which cover businesses that obtain or access personal information on California resident consumers, grant consumers enhanced privacy rights and control over their personal information and imposes significant requirements on covered companies with respect to consumer data privacy rights. Additionally, Colorado became the third state – behind California and Virginia – to enact comprehensive data privacy legislation, commonly referred to as the Colorado Privacy Act, which is set to take effect on July 1, 2023. The Colorado Privacy Act is modeled in part off of the CCPA. Our regulators also hold us responsible for privacy and data protection obligations performed by our third-party service providers while providing services to us.
New or changes to existing laws could increase our costs of compliance and business operations and could reduce income from certain business initiatives, including increased privacy-related enforcement activity, higher compliance and technology costs and could restrict our ability to provide certain products and services. Our failure to comply with privacy, data protection and information security laws could result in potentially significant regulatory or governmental investigations or actions, litigation, fines, sanctions and damage to our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
38
Risk of the Competitive Environment in which We Operate
Our ability to attract and retain qualified employees is critical to our success.
Our employees are our most important resource, and in many areas of the financial services industry, competition for qualified personnel is intense. We endeavor to attract talented and diverse new employees and retain and motivate our existing employees to assist in executing our growth, acquisition, and business strategies. We also seek to retain proven, experienced senior employees with superior talent, augmented from time to time by external hires, to provide continuity of succession of our executive management team. In addition, the Company’s Board oversees succession planning, including review of the succession plans for the Chief Executive Officer and other members of executive management. Losses of or changes in our current executive officers or other key personnel, or the inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel in the future could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We face strong competition from financial services companies and other companies that offer banking services, which could materially and adversely affect our business.
The financial services industry has become even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and continued banking consolidation, which may increase in connection with current economic, market and political conditions. We face substantial competition in all phases of our operations from a variety of competitors, including national banks, regional banks, community banks and, more recently, financial technology (or "fintech") companies.Many of our competitors offer the same banking services that we offer and our success depends on our ability to adapt our products and services to evolving industry standards. Increased competition in our market may result in reduced new loan and lease production and/or decreased deposit balances or less favorable terms on loans and leases and/or deposit accounts. We also face competition from many other types of financial institutions, including without limitation, non-bank specialty lenders, insurance companies, private investment funds, investment banks, and other financial intermediaries. While there are a limited number of direct competitors in the venture banking market, some of our competitors have long-standing relationships with venture firms and the companies that are funded by such firms. Many of our competitors have significantly greater resources, established customer bases, more locations, and longer operating histories.
Should competition in the financial services industry intensify, our ability to market our products and services may be adversely affected. If we are unable to attract and retain banking customers, we may be unable to grow or maintain the levels of our loans and deposits and our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected as a result. Ultimately, we may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors.
Failure to keep pace with technological change could adversely affect our business.
The financial services industry experiences continuous technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs. Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands, as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors, however, have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements or are technology focused start-ups with internally developed cloud-native systems that offer improved user interfaces and experiences. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers. In addition, we depend on internal and outsourced technology to support all aspects of our business operations. Interruption or failure of these systems creates a risk of business loss as a result of adverse customer experiences and possible diminishing of our reputation, damage claims or civil fines. Failure to successfully keep pace with technological change affecting the financial services industry or to successfully implement core processing strategies could have a material adverse impact on our business and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations.
39
Our ability to maintain, attract and retain customer relationships and investors is highly dependent on our reputation.
Damage to our reputation could undermine the confidence of our current and potential customers and investors in our ability to provide high-quality financial services. Such damage could also impair the confidence of our counterparties and vendors and ultimately affect our ability to effect transactions. Maintenance of our reputation depends not only on our success in maintaining our service-focused culture and controlling and mitigating the various risks described herein, but also on our success in identifying and appropriately addressing issues that may arise in areas such as potential conflicts of interest, anti-money laundering, client personal information and privacy issues, customer and other third-party fraud, record-keeping, technology-related issues including but not limited to cyber fraud, regulatory investigations and any litigation that may arise from the failure or perceived failure to comply with legal and regulatory requirements. Defense of our reputation, trademarks, and other intellectual property, including through litigation, also could result in costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Risks Related to Risk Management
Risks Related to Risk Management Is the Risk of Loss Resulting from Unknown Risks and Our Inability to Timely and Adequately Identify, Monitor and Manage Key Risks That May Affect Our Business.
Our acquisitions may subject us to unknown risks.
As an active acquirer having successfully completed 2931 acquisitions since 2000, including two acquisitions in 2021, certain events may arise after the date of an acquisition, or we may learn of certain facts, events or circumstances after the closing of an acquisition, that may affect our financial condition or performance or subject us to risk of loss. These events include, but are not limited to: litigation resulting from circumstances occurring at the acquired entity prior to the date of acquisition; loan downgrades and credit loss provisions resulting from deterioration in the credit quality of the acquired loans; personnel changes that cause instability within a department; delays in implementing new policies or procedures or the failure to apply new policies or procedures; and other events relating to the performance of our business. Acquisitions involve inherent uncertainty and we cannot determine all potential events, facts and circumstances that could result in loss or increased costs or give assurances that our due diligence or mitigation efforts will be sufficient to protect against any such loss or increased costs.
Our ability to execute our strategic initiatives successfully will depend on a variety of factors. These factors likely will vary based on the nature of the initiative but may include our success in integrating the operations, services, products, personnel and systems of an acquired company into our business, operating effectively with any partner with whom we elect to do business, retaining key employees, achieving anticipated synergies, meeting expectations and otherwise realizing the undertaking's anticipated benefits. Our ability to address these matters successfully cannot be assured. In addition, our strategic initiatives may divert resources or management's attention from ongoing business operations and may subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny. If we do not successfully execute a strategic undertaking, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation, regulatory relationships and growth prospects. To the extent we issue capital stock in connection with future acquisitions, these transactions may be dilutive to tangible book value and will dilute share ownership.
A failure, interruption, or breach in the security of our systems, or those of contracted vendors, could disrupt our business, result in the disclosure of confidential information, damage our reputation, and create significant financial and legal exposure.
Although we devote significant resources to maintain and regularly update our systems and processes that are designed to protect the security of our computer systems, software, networks and other technology assets, as well as the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information belonging to us and our customers, there is no assurance that all of our security measures will provide absolute security.
40
Many financial institutions, including the Company, have been subjected to attempts to infiltrate the security of their websites or other systems, some involving sophisticated and targeted attacks intended to obtain unauthorized access to confidential information, destroy data, disrupt or degrade service, sabotage systems or cause other damage, including through the introduction of computer viruses or malware, cyber-attacks and other means. We have been targeted by individuals and groups using phishing campaigns, pretext calling, malicious code and viruses, and have experienced distributed denial-of-service attacks with the objective of disrupting on-line banking services and expect to be subject to such attacks in the future.
Despite efforts to ensure the integrity of our systems, it is possible that we may not be able to anticipate, detect or recognize threats to our systems or to implement effective preventive measures against all security breaches of these types inside or outside our business, especially because the techniques used change frequently or are not recognized until launched, and because cyber-attacks can originate from a wide variety of sources, including individuals or groups who are associated with external service providers or who are or may be involved in organized crime or linked to terrorist organizations or hostile foreign governments. Those parties may also attempt to fraudulently induce employees, customers, third-party service providers or other users of our systems to disclose sensitive information in order to gain access to our data or that of our customers or clients. TheseSimilar to other companies, risks mayand exposures related to cybersecurity attacks have increased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the related increased reliance on remote working and increase in digital operations in efforts to comply with state and local mandates. Such risks and exposures are expected to remain high for the foreseeable future due to the rapidly evolving nature and sophistication of these threats and the expanding use of technology, as our web-based product offerings grow or we expand internal usage of web-based applications.
A successful penetration or circumvention of the security of our systems, including those of our third-party vendors, could cause serious negative consequences, including significant disruption of our operations, misappropriation of confidential information, or damage to computers or systems, and may result in violations of applicable privacy and other laws, financial loss, loss of confidence in our security measures, customer dissatisfaction, increased insurance premiums, significant litigation exposure and harm to our reputation, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects.
We rely on other companies to provide key components of our business infrastructure.
We rely on certain third parties to provide products and services necessary to maintain day-to-day operations, such as data processing and storage, recording and monitoring transactions, on-line banking interfaces and services, Internet connections, telecommunications, and network access. Even though we have a vendor management program to help us carefully select and monitor the performance of third parties, we do not control their actions. The failure of a third-party to perform in accordance with the contracted arrangements under service level agreements as a result of changes in the third party’s organizational structure, financial condition, support for existing products and services, strategic focus, system interruption or breaches, or for any other reason, could be disruptive to our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Replacing these third parties could also create significant delays and expense. Accordingly, use of such third parties creates an inherent risk to our business operations.
Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, or other adverse external events could harm the Company's business.
41
Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, public health issues, or other adverse external events could each negatively impact our business operations or the stability of our deposit base, cause significant property damage, adversely impact the values of collateral securing our loans and/or interrupt our borrowers' abilities to conduct their business in a manner to support their debt obligations, which could result in losses and increased provisions for credit losses. There is no assurance that our business continuity and disaster recovery program can adequately mitigate the risks of such business disruptions and interruptions.
Concerns regarding climate risk may lead to further governmental efforts to mitigate those risks, as well as changes in behavior and preferences by consumers and businesses. Future governmental regulations or guidance relating to climate risk, as well as the perspectives of regulators, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders, may at some point in the future affect our product and service offerings. Federal and state banking regulators and supervisory authorities, shareholders and other stakeholders have increasingly viewed financial institutions such as us as playing an important role in helping to address risks related to climate change, both directly and with respect to our clients, which may result in increased pressure regarding the disclosure and management of climate risks and related lending and advisory activities. In the future, we may also become subject to new or heightened regulatory requirements related to climate change, such as requirements relating to operational resiliency or stress testing for various climate stress scenarios. Any new or heightened requirements could result in increased regulatory compliance or other costs or higher capital requirements. The risks associated with, and the perspective of regulators, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders regarding climate change are continuing to evolve rapidly, which can make it difficult to assess the ultimate impact on us of climate change-related risks and uncertainties, and we expect that climate change-related risks will increase over time. Currently, there are no existing regulations applicable to us related to climate risk as such we have not performed a climate risk impact assessment.
Risk from Accounting and Other Estimates
Risk from Accounting and Other Estimates Is the Risk That the Estimates and Assumptions That We Use in Preparing Our Consolidated Financial Statements and In Models We Utilize to Make Business Decisions May Be Subject to Adjustment for Reasons Within or Beyond Our Control, Which Could Result in Unexpected Losses and Adverse Effects on Our Financial Condition.
The Company's consolidated financial statements are based in part on assumptions and estimates which, if incorrect, could cause unexpected losses in the future.
We have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Material estimates subject to change in the near term include, among other items, the allowance for credit losses, the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets,assets; the fair value estimates of certain assets and liabilities,liabilities; and the realization of deferred tax assets and liabilities. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment may be significant.
42
There are risks resulting from the extensive use of models in our business.
We rely on quantitative models to measure risks and to estimate certain financial values. Models may be used in such processes as determining the pricing of various products, grading loans and extending credit, measuring interest rate and other market risks, predicting or estimating losses, assessing capital adequacy and calculating regulatory capital levels, as well as to estimate the value of financial instruments and balance sheet items. Poorly designed or implemented models present the risk that our business decisions based on information incorporating model output could be adversely affected due to the inaccuracy of that information. Models are often based on historical experience to predict future outcomes, as a result new experiences or events which are not part of historical experience can significantly increase model imprecision and impact model reliability. Model inputs can also include information provided by third parties, such as economic forecasts or macroeconomic variables (unemployment, Real GDP, CRE Price Index, BBB Spreads, CPI, etc.) upon which we rely. Some of the decisions that our regulators make, including those related to capital distributions, could be affected due to the perception that the quality of the models used to generate the relevant information is insufficient, which could have a negative impact on our ability to make capital distributions in the form of dividends or share repurchases.Our reliance on models continues to increase as rules, guidance and expectations change.
Risks Related to Investments in Our Securities
The primary source of the holding company's liquidity from which we pay dividends, among other things, is the receipt of dividends from the Bank.
The holding company, PacWest, is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank and our other subsidiaries. The availability of dividends from the Bank is limited by various statutes and regulations. It is possible, depending upon the financial condition of the Bank and other factors, that the FRB, the FDIC and/or the DFPI could assert that payment of dividends or other payments is an unsafe or unsound practice. In the event the Bank is unable to pay dividends to the holding company, it is likely that we, in turn, would have to discontinue capital distributions in the form of dividends or share repurchases and may have difficulty meeting our other financial obligations, including payments in respect of any outstanding indebtedness or subordinated debt. The Bank may declare a dividend without the approval of the DFPI and FDIC as long as the total dividends declared in a calendar year do not exceed either the retained earnings or the total of net earnings for the three previous fiscal years less any dividend paid during such period. The Bank had a cumulative net loss of $155.3 million during the three fiscal years of 2021, 2020, and 2019 due to the $1.47 billion goodwill impairment in the first quarter of 2020, compared to dividends of $776.0 million paid by the Bank during that same period. During 2021, PacWest received $182.0 million in dividends from the Bank. Since the Bank had an accumulated deficit of $1.5 billion at December 31, 2021, for the foreseeable future, any cash dividends from the Bank to the holding company will continue to require DFPI and FDIC approval. The inability of the Bank to pay dividends to the holding company could have a material adverse effect on our business, including the market price of our common stock.
We may reduce or discontinue the payment of dividends on common stock.
Our stockholders are only entitled to receive such dividends as our Board may declare out of funds legally available for such payments. Although we have historically declared cash dividends on our common stock, we are not required to do so and may reduce or eliminate our common stock dividend in the future. Our ability to pay dividends is subject to the restrictions set forth in Delaware law, by the FRB, and by certain covenants contained in our subordinated debt. Notification to the FRB is also required prior to our declaring and paying a cash dividend during any period in which our quarterly and/or cumulative twelve-month net earnings are insufficient to fund the dividend amount, among other requirements. Given the impact of the goodwill impairment charge on net earnings in the first quarter of 2020, we were required to receive approval from the FRB prior to declaring a dividend from March 31, 2020 through March 31, 2021, but are no longer required to obtain such approval. In addition, we may be restricted by applicable law or regulation or actions taken by our regulators, now or in the future, from paying dividends to our stockholders. We cannot provide assurance that we will continue paying dividends on our common stock at current levels or at all.

COVID-19 Pandemic - Impact to Our Business
From a business perspective, the impact in 2021 from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has decreased, however, new variants may continue to impact key macroeconomic indicators such as unemployment and GDP and we will continue to closely monitor our loan portfolio. In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced an increase in customers seeking loan modifications through payment deferrals and extension of terms. Most of the modifications were for payment deferrals for three months, while some deferrals were up to six months. Some loans were subsequently modified with deferrals of three to twelve months. As of December 31, 2021, there were 23 loans with a balance of $42.5 million on deferral. The Company did not apply a TDR classification to COVID-19 related loan modifications that met all of the requisite criteria as stipulated in the CARES Act.
We actively participated in both rounds of the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), under the provisions of the CARES Act, originating $1.65 billion of PPP loans in 2020 and 2021 before the program ended on May 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021,PPP loans totaled $156.7 million, net of deferred fees. In the fourth quarter of 2021, forgiven loans under the PPP program totaled approximately $110.6 million. The loans have origination fees that are recognized over the life of the loan with the fee recognition accelerated upon forgiveness or repayment of the loan. Fees recognized in the fourth quarter of 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell $1.5 billion of cash flow loans (the "Cash Flow Loan Sale"). Of the $1.5 billion in loans sold, none2021 were on nonaccrual and $4.7 million were classified, and we also exited our National Lending origination operations related to general, technology, and healthcare cash flow loans. These actions were taken to lower the Company's credit risk profile and improve its funding mix.$3.6 million. As of December 31, 2017, $1.0 billion2021, the remaining unamortized fees, net of deferred costs, totaled $4.2 million. The PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the loans sold had settled, while $481.1SBA and do not carry an allowance.
As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded in March 2020, we immediately enhanced the monitoring of our loan and lease portfolio with particular emphasis on certain loan and lease portfolios that we expected to be most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the hotel, retail, commercial aviation, restaurant, and oil services loan and lease portfolios. We continue to closely monitor all of our portfolios, although with the increase in oil prices, and with our relatively low loan and lease balances with oil services borrowers ($76.7 million were classified as held for sale. The loans held for sale at December 31, 2017 settled2021), the credit risk in the first quarteroil services portfolio has diminished. The hotel portfolio as of 2018. In connectionDecember 31, 2021 is comprised of hotel CRE loans of $593.2 million, hotel construction loans of $301.1 million, and hotel SBA loans of $28.0 million. These portfolios - hotel, retail, commercial aviation, and restaurant - have weathered the pandemic well thus far with net charge-offs of $4.6 million since the Cash Flow Loan Sale, we recognized $2.2 million in charge-offs during the fourth quarter of 2017 to record the loans at the lower of cost or fair value.

From a credit perspective, most of our credit metrics improved during 2021 as economic conditions and economic forecasts continued to improve. This improvement led to a provision for credit losses benefit of $162.0 million for 2021, compared to a provision for credit losses of $339.0 million for 2020.

On a Company-wide basis, our operations continue to run normally despite the ongoing pandemic. Our branches and offices are open to serve our customers, although most non-client facing roles continue to work remotely or under a hybrid model. We expect most employees will return to the office sometime in more than 30 years. The TCJA reduced the federal corporate tax rate from 35%2022, but remain pleased how employees have embraced new technologies to 21% effective January 1, 2018. Other changes affecting us include immediate deductions for acquisitions of certain fixed assets instead of deductions for depreciation expense over time, modification of the deduction for performance-based executive compensation, and limiting the amount of FDIC insurance assessments that are deductible. The effective tax rates for 2018 and 2017 were 26.5% and 35.5%.
assist in performing their responsibilities to ensure our operations continue to run smoothly.
Key Performance Indicators
Among other factors, our operating results generally depend on the following key performance indicators:
The Level of Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the excess of interest earned on our interest‑earninginterest-earning assets over the interest paid on our interest‑bearinginterest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is net interest income (annualized if related to a quarterly period) expressed as a percentage of average interest‑earninginterest-earning assets. Tax equivalent net interest income is net interest income increased by an adjustment for tax-exempt interest on certain loans and municipalinvestment securities based on a 21% federal statutory tax rate for 2018 and a 35% federal statutory tax rate for prior periods.rate. Tax equivalent net interest margin is calculated as tax equivalent net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.
Net interest income is affected by changes in both interest rates and the volume of average interest‑earninginterest-earning assets and interest‑bearinginterest-bearing liabilities. Our primary interest‑earninginterest-earning assets are loans and investment securities, and our primary interest‑bearinginterest-bearing liabilities are deposits.deposits and borrowings. Contributing to our highstrong net interest margin is our highstrong yield on loans and leases and competitive cost of deposits. While our deposit balances will fluctuate depending on deposit holders’ perceptions of alternative yields available in the market, we seek to minimize the impact of these variances by attracting a high percentage of noninterest‑bearingnoninterest-bearing deposits.
Loan and Lease Growth
We actively seek new lending opportunities under an array of lending products. Our lending activities include real estate mortgage loans, real estate construction and land loans, commercial loans and leases, and a small amount of consumer lending. Our commercial real estate loans and real estate construction loans are secured by a range of property types. Our commercial loans areand leases portfolio is diverse and generally includeincludes various asset-secured loans, equipment-secured loans and leases, venture capital loans to support venture capital firms’ operations and the operations of entrepreneurial and venture-backed companies during the various phases of their early life cycles, and secured business loans originated through our Community Banking group, and loans to security alarm monitoring companies. loans.
51
Our loan origination process emphasizes credit quality.To augment our internal loan production, we have historically purchased loans such as multi-family loans from other banks. We have also purchased single-family mortgage and construction loans andbanks, private student loans from third-party lenders.lenders, and, most recently, single-family residential mortgage loans. Prior to our acquisition of Civic, we also purchased loans from Civic. These loan purchases help us manage the concentrations in our portfolio as they diversify the geographic, interest-rate risk, credit risk, and product composition of our loan portfolio. We price loans to preserve our interest spread and maintain our net interest margin. Achieving net loan growth is subject to many factors, including maintaining strict credit standards, competition from other lenders, and borrowers that opt to prepay loans.
The Magnitude of Credit Losses
We emphasize credit quality in originating and monitoring our loans and leases, and we measure our success by the levels of our classified loans and leases, nonaccrual loans and leases, and net charge‑offs.charge-offs. We maintain an allowance for credit losses on loans and leases, which is the sum of ourthe allowance for loan and lease losses and ourthe reserve for unfunded loan commitments. Provisions for credit losses are charged to operations as and when needed for both on and off‑balanceoff-balance sheet credit exposure.exposures. Loans and leases whichthat are deemed uncollectable are charged off and deducted from the allowance for loan and lease losses. Recoveries on loans and leases previously charged off are added to the allowance for loan and lease losses. The provision for credit losses on the loan and lease portfolio is based on our allowance methodology, which considers variousthe impact of assumptions and is reflective of historical experience, economic forecasts viewed to be reasonable and supportable by management, the current loan and lease composition, and relative credit performance measures suchrisks known as historical and current net charge‑offs,of the levels and trends of classified loans and leases, the likelihood of loans defaulting based on the historical degree that similar loans defaulted and the resulting loss severity for these defaulted loans, and the overall level of outstanding loans and leases.balance sheet date. For originated and acquired non‑impairedcredit-deteriorated loans, a provision for credit losses may be recorded to reflect credit deterioration after the origination date or after the acquisition date, respectively.
We regularly review our loans and leases to determine whether there has been any deterioration in credit quality resulting from borrower operations or changes in collateral value or other factors which may affect collectability of our loans and leases. Changes in economic conditions, such as the rate of economic growth, the unemployment rate, rate of inflation, increases in the general level of interest rates, declines in real estate values, changes in commodity prices, and adverse conditions in borrowers’ businesses, could negatively impact our borrowers and cause us to adversely classify loans and leases. An increase in classified loans and leases generally results in increased provisions for credit losses and an increased allowance for credit losses. Any deterioration in the commercial real estate market may lead to increased provisions for credit losses because our loans are concentrated in commercial real estate loans.
The Level of Noninterest Expense
Our noninterest expense includes fixed and controllable overhead, the largest components of which are compensation and occupancy expense. It also includes costs that tend to vary based on the volume of activity, such as loan and lease production and the number and complexity of foreclosed assets. We measure success in controlling both fixed and variable costs through monitoring of the efficiency ratio. We calculate the efficiency ratio, which is calculated by dividing noninterest expense (less intangible asset amortization, net foreclosed assets expense (income), goodwill impairment, and acquisition, integration and reorganization costs) by net revenues (the sum of tax equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, less gain (loss) on sale of securities and gain (loss) on sales of assets other than loans and leases).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results may ultimately differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material adverse effect on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and on our results of operations for the reporting periods.
Our significant accounting policies and practices are described in Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." We have identified severalthree policies and estimates as being critical because they require management to make particularly difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies relate to the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment, accounting for business combinations,the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the realization of deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment
Goodwill and the allowance for credit losses.
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
We are subject to the income tax laws of the U.S., its states, and the municipalities in which we operate. These tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant governing taxing authorities. We review income tax expense and the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities quarterly, and as new information becomes available, the balances are adjusted as appropriate. In establishing a provision for income tax expense, we must make judgments and interpretations about the application of these inherently complex tax laws. We must also make estimates about when in the future certain tax items will affect taxable income in the various tax jurisdictions. Our deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We determine whether a deferred tax asset is realizable based on facts and circumstances, including our current and projected future tax position, the historical level of our taxable income, and estimates of our future taxable income. In most cases, the realization of deferred tax assets is based on our future profitability. If we were to experience either reduced profitability or operating losses in a future period, the realization of our deferred tax assets may no longer be considered more likely than not and, accordingly, we could be required to record a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets by charging earnings.

Non-GAAP Measurements
We use certain non‑GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. The methodology for determining these non-GAAP measures may differ among companies. We use the following non-GAAP measures in this Form 10-K:
•Return on average tangible equity, tangible common equity ratio, and tangible book value per share: Given that the use of these measures is prevalent among banking regulators, investors and analysts, we disclose them in addition to the related GAAP measures of return on average equity, equity to assets ratio, and book value per share, respectively. In 2020, we changed the calculation of return on average tangible equity to add back intangible asset amortization to net earnings to arrive at adjusted net earnings. Prior periods have been conformed to the current period presentation. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP measurements to the GAAP measurements are presented in the following tables for and as of the periods presented.

2021 Compared to 20172020
Net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $465.32021 was $607.0 million, or $3.72$5.10 per diluted share, compared to net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $1.24 billion, or $10.61 per diluted share. The $1.84 billion increase in net earnings was due primarily to a $1.47 billion goodwill impairment charge in the first quarter of 2020 combined with a decrease in the provision for credit losses of $501.0 million due to improvement in both the macroeconomic forecast variables used in the process to determine the allowance for credit losses and the loan portfolio credit quality metrics, offset partially by net loan growth for the year.
2020 Compared to 2019
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $1.24 billion, or $10.61 per diluted share, compared to net earnings for the year ended December 31, 20172019 of $357.8$468.6 million, or $2.91$3.90 per diluted share. The $107.5 million increase$1.71 billion decrease in net earnings was due primarily to higher net interest incomea $1.47 billion goodwill impairment charge in the first quarter of $61.3 million, lower income tax expense of $28.9 million,2020, a lowerhigher provision for credit losses of $12.8$317.0 million, and higher noninterest incomeoperating expense of $20.1$11.8 million, offset partially by higher noninterest expense of $15.6 million. The increase in net interest income was due mainly to higher balances of average loans and leases and average investment securities and a higher yield on average loans and leases, offset partially by a lower yield on average investment securities and higher interest expense. The decrease in income tax expense was due primarily to the TCJA which reduced our effective tax rate to 26.5% for the year ended December 31, 2018 from 35.5% for 2017. The decrease in the provision for credit losses was due mainly to lower specific provisions for impaired loans during 2018, higher recoveries of charge-off loans during 2018, and lower amounts of loans rated special mention and classified at December 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017. The increase in noninterest income was due mostly to a higher gain on sale of securities of $8.7 million, higher warrant income of $4.9 million, higher other commissions and fees of $4.1 million, and higher other income of $3.7 million. The increase in noninterest expense was due mainly to higher compensation expense of $16.0 million, higher intangible asset amortization of $8.3 million, higher other professional services expense of $4.6 million, and higher occupancy expense of $4.4 million, offset partially by lower acquisition, integration and reorganization costs of $18.0 million. The increases in these expense categories are primarily due to twelve months of CUB incremental operating expenses in 2018 compared to only 72 days of expense in 2017.

Net interest income is affected by changes in both interest rates and the amounts of average interest‑earning assets and interest‑bearing liabilities. The changes in the amounts of average interest‑earning assets and interest‑bearing liabilities are referred to as changes in “volume.” The changes in the yields earned on average interest‑earning assets and rates paid on average interest‑bearing liabilities are referred to as changes in “rate.” The changes in the amounts of average interest‑earning assets and interest‑bearing liabilities are referred to as changes in “volume.” The change in interest income/expense attributable to rate reflects the change in rate multiplied by the prior year’s volume. The change in interest income/expense attributable to volume reflects the change in volume multiplied by the prior year’s rate. The change in interest income/expense attributable to rate reflects the change in rate multiplied by the prior year’s volume. The change in interest income/expense not attributable specifically to either volumerate or ratevolume is allocated ratably between the two categories.
The following table presents changes in interest income/income (tax equivalent) and interest expense and related changes in volumerate and ratevolume for the years indicated:

Provisions for credit losses are charged to earnings for both on and off‑balance sheet credit exposures. The provision for credit losses on our loans and leases held for investment is based on our allowance methodology and is an expense that, in our judgment, is required to maintain an adequate allowance for credit losses.
The provision for credit losses decreased by $12.8$501.0 million to $45.0a provision for credit losses benefit of $162.0 million for the year ended December 31, 20182021 compared to $57.8a provision of $339.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 due mainly2020 as a result of improvement in both the macroeconomic forecast variables used in the process to lower specific provisionsdetermine the allowance for impaired loans during 2018, higher recoveries of charged off loans during 2018,credit losses and lower amounts of loans rated special mention and classified at December 31, 2018 compared to December 31, 2017. Loans rated special mention and classified have a higher general reserve amount than loans rated pass.the loan portfolio credit quality metrics, offset partially by net loan growth for the year.
The provision for credit losses decreasedincreased by $8.0$317.0 million to $57.8$339.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $22.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $65.7 million for2019 primarily as a result of the impact of the year ended December 31, 2016 due primarily to lower general reservescurrent economic forecast used in our ACL estimation, which reflected a significant deterioration in key macroeconomic forecast variables such as unemployment and GDP growth as a result of $14.1 million related to the sale of cash flow loans and lower amounts of loans rated special mention and classified at December 31, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016, offset partially by higher specific provisions for impaired loans during 2017.COVID-19 pandemic.

Certain circumstances may lead to increased provisions for credit losses in the future. Examples of such circumstances are an increased amount of classified and/or impairednonperforming loans and leases, net loan and lease and unfunded commitment growth, and changes in economic conditions.conditions and forecasts. Changes in economic conditions and forecasts include the rate of economic growth, the unemployment rate, the rate of inflation, increaseschanges in the general level of interest rates, declineschanges in real estate values, and adverse conditions in borrowers’ businesses.

Noninterest expense decreased by $1.35 billion to $637.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $2.0 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020 due mainly to a $1.47 billion goodwill impairment charge incurred in the first quarter of 2020. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge, noninterest expense increased by $123.4 million in 2021 compared to 2020. This increase was due primarily to increases of $97.0 million in compensation expense, $8.4 million in acquisition, integration and reorganization costs, $6.9 million in leased equipment depreciation, and $6.2 million in other expense, offset partially by a $5.3 million decrease in insurance and assessment expense. The increase in compensation expense was due to the incremental compensation expense from 11 months of Civic operations and three months of HOA Business operations in the 2021 period and higher bonus expense, given the operating results in 2021, while the 2020 bonus amounts were below historical levels as a result of the higher provisions for credit losses in 2020. The increase in acquisition, integration, and reorganization costs was due to the costs related to the Civic and HOA Business acquisitions. Leased equipment depreciation increased due to a higher average balance of leased equipment. Other expense increased due mainly to higher legal settlement costs. Insurance and assessment expense decreased due mostly to a decrease in the FDIC assessment rate in 2021 partially offset by a higher assessment base. The assessment rate was higher in 2020 due to the goodwill impairment recorded in the first quarter of 2020 resulting in a higher assessment rate for the next four quarters.

At December 31, 2018,2021, we had $4.7$5.6 billion of loans and leases held for investment due to mature over the next twelve months. For any of these loans and leases held for investment, in the event that we provide a concession through a refinance or modification whichthat we would not ordinarily consider in order to protect as much of our investment as possible, such loans may be considered TDRs even though the loans have performed in accordance with their contractual terms. The circumstances regarding any modifications and a borrower's specific situation, such as its ability to obtain financing from another source at similar market terms, are evaluated on an individual basis to determine if oura contractual loan renewal or loan extension constitutes a TDR. Higher levels of TDRs generally lead tomay result in increases in classified loans and credit loss provisions.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment
The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment is the combination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for loan and lease losses is reported as a reduction of the amortized cost basis of loans and leases, while the reserve for unfunded loan commitments is included within "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets. The amortized cost basis of loans and leases does not include accrued interest receivable, which is included in "Other assets" on the consolidated balance sheets. The "Provision for credit losses" on the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) is a combination of the provision for loan and lease losses and the provision for unfunded loan commitments.
Under the CECL methodology, expected credit losses reflect losses over the remaining contractual life of an asset, considering the effect of prepayments and available information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about relevant historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances. Thus, the CECL methodology incorporates a broad range of information in developing credit loss estimates.
For a discussionfurther information regarding the calculation of our policy and methodology on the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment using the CECL methodology, see "- CriticalNote 1(i). Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates - Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment." For further information on the allowance for loan and lease losses on loans and leases held for investment, see Note 1(h). Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 6. Loans and Leases of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
In calculating our allowance for credit losses, we continued to consider the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our estimation of expected credit losses given the changes in economic forecasts and assumptions along with the uncertainty related to the severity and duration of the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our methodology and framework along with the 4-quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period and 2-quarter reversion period have remained consistent since the implementation of CECL on January 1, 2020. Certain management assumptions are reassessed every quarter based on current expectations for credit losses, while other assumptions are assessed and updated on at least an annual basis.
72
In the fourth quarter of 2021, we used the Moody’s Consensus Forecast dated December 9, 2021 for the calculation of our quantitative component, which is consistent with each of the quarters in 2021. The key macroeconomic variables used improved from the prior quarter as a result of updating and advancing the forecast by a quarter which, when combined with improvements in other credit quality metrics such as a decline in classified and special mention loans, drove the decrease in the allowance for credit losses in the fourth quarter. This decrease was offset partially by provisions for net loan growth.
As part of our allowance for credit losses methodology, we consistently incorporate the use of qualitative factors in determining the overall allowance for credit losses to capture risks that may not be adequately reflected in our quantitative models. During the first quarter of 2021, we added qualitative components that were based on management’s assessment of various qualitative factors such as economic conditions and collateral dependency. These qualitative components were primarily related to certain loan portfolios including hotels, retail, and office properties that may react more slowly to the improvements in the general economic conditions. These sectors may see a slower economic recovery to pre-pandemic levels due to changes in consumer behavior such as less business travel due to more virtual meetings, more online shopping versus in person shopping, or the potential for more permanent shifts to remote or hybrid working arrangements. Additionally, small businesses in these sectors may face greater challenges once debt relief and PPP funding is exhausted. Throughout 2021, these qualitative adjustments were updated based on evolving forecasts of property values and the pace of recovery for small businesses.
The use of different economic forecasts, whether based on different scenarios, the use of multiple or single scenarios, or updated economic forecasts and scenarios, can change the outcome of the calculations. In addition to the economic forecasts, there are numerous components and assumptions that are integral to the overall estimation of allowance for credit losses. As part of our allowance for credit losses process, sensitivity analyses are performed to assess the impact of how changing certain assumptions could impact the estimated allowance for credit losses. At times, these analyses can provide information to further assist management in making decisions on certain assumptions. We calculated alternative values for our December 31, 2021 ACL using two different forecast scenarios (Moody's Baseline and Moody's S5) and the calculated amounts for the quantitative component differed from the Consensus Forecast ranging from lower by 1.31% to higher by 2.60%. However, changing one assumption and not reassessing other assumptions used in the quantitative or qualitative process could yield results that are not reasonable or appropriate, hence all assumptions and information must be considered. From a sensitivity analysis perspective, changing key assumptions such as the macro-economic variable inputs from the economic forecasts, the reasonable and supportable forecast period, prepayment rates, loan segmentation, historical loss factors and/or periods, among others, would all change the outcome of the quantitative components of the allowance for credit losses. Those results would then need to be assessed from a qualitative perspective potentially requiring further adjustments to the qualitative component to arrive at a reasonable and appropriate allowance for credit losses.
The determination of the allowance for credit losses is complex and highly dependent on numerous models, assumptions, and judgments made by management. Management's current expectation for credit losses as quantified in the allowance for credit losses considers the impact of assumptions and is reflective of historical credit experience, economic forecasts viewed to be reasonable and supportable, current loan and lease composition, and relative credit risks known as of the balance sheet date.
Management believes the allowance for credit losses is appropriate for the current expected credit losses in our loan and lease portfolio and associated unfunded commitments, and the credit risk ratings and inherent loss rates currently assigned are reasonable and appropriate as of the reporting date. It is possible that others, given the same information, may at any point in time reach different conclusions that could result in a significant impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Regulatory Matters
Capital
Bank regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy through standardized risk-based capital guidelines that compare different levels of capital (as defined by such guidelines) to risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet obligations. At December 31, 2018,2021, banks considered to be “well capitalized” must maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.00%, a minimum common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.50%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.00%, and a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 10.00%. Regulatory capital requirements limit the amount of deferred tax assets that may be included when determining the amount of regulatory capital. Deferred tax asset amounts in excess of the calculated limit are disallowed from regulatory capital. At December 31, 2018, such disallowed amounts were $489,000 for the Company and $39,000 for the Bank. No assurance can be given that the regulatory capital deferred tax asset limitation will not increase in the future or that the Company or Bank will not have increased deferred tax assets that are disallowed.
Basel III currently requires all banking organizations to maintain a 2.50% capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk-based capital requirements to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, stock repurchases and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The capital conservation buffer is exclusively comprised of common equity tierTier 1 capital, and it applies to each of the three risk-based capital ratios but not to the leverage ratio. At December 31, 2018, the Company and Bank were in compliance with the capital conservation buffer requirement. Effective January 1, 2019, the capital conservation buffer increased by 0.625% to its fully phased-in 2.5%, such that the common equity tierTier 1, tierTier 1, and total capital ratio minimums inclusive of the capital conservation buffer were 7.0%7.00%, 8.5%8.50%, and 10.5%10.50%. At December 31, 2021, the Company and Bank were in compliance with the capital conservation buffer requirements.
The Company and Bank elected the CECL 5-year regulatory transition guidance for calculating regulatory capital ratios and the December 31, 2021 ratios include this election. This regulatory guidance allows an entity to add back to capital 100% of the capital impact from the day one CECL transition adjustment and 25% of subsequent increases to the allowance for credit losses through December 31, 2022. This cumulative amount will then be phased out of regulatory capital over the next three years from 2023 to 2025. The add-back as of December 31, 2021 ranged from 0 basis points to 10 basis points for the capital ratios below.
In the third quarter of 2021, approximately $131.0 million of trust preferred securities were reclassified from Tier II capital to Tier I capital due to a reassessment of the Basel III implementation rule that permitted the grandfathering of certain trust preferred securities as Tier I capital. Prior periods were not required to be revised for this change.

Subordinated DebenturesDebt
We issued or assumed through mergers subordinated debenturesdebt to trusts that were established by us or entities we previously acquired, which, in turn, issued trust preferred securities. On April 30, 2021, the Bank completed the sale of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due May 1, 2031. For further information, see Note 12. Borrowings and Subordinated Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."
The carrying value of subordinated debenturesdebt totaled $453.8$863.3 million at December 31, 2018.2021. At December 31, 2018, none2021, $131.0 million of the trust preferred securities were included in the Company's Tier I capital under the phase-out limitations of Basel III, and $440.2$718.2 million were included in Tier II capital. For a more detailed discussion of our subordinated debentures,debt, see "Item 1: Business - Supervision and Regulation - Capital Requirements."
Dividends on Common Stock and Interest on Subordinated DebenturesDebt
As a bank holding company, PacWest is required to notify and receive approval from the FRB prior to declaring and paying a dividend to stockholders during any period in which quarterly and/or cumulative twelve-month net earnings are insufficient to fund the dividend amount, among other requirements. Interest payments made by us on subordinated debenturesdebt are considered dividend payments under FRB regulations.
We may not pay a dividend if the FRB objects or until such time as we receive approval from the FRB or we no longer need to provide notice under applicable regulations. Given the impact of the goodwill impairment charge on net earnings in the first quarter of 2020, we were required to receive approval from the FRB prior to declaring a dividend from March 31, 2020 through March 31, 2021, but are no longer required to obtain such approval.
Liquidity
Liquidity Management
The goals of our liquidity management are to ensure the ability of the Company to meet its financial commitments when contractually due and to respond to other demands for funds such as the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of customers who may be either depositors wanting to withdraw funds or borrowers who have unfunded commitments. We have an Executive Management Asset/Liability Management Committee ("Executive ALM Committee") that is comprised of members of senior management and is responsible for managing commitments to meet the needs of customers while achieving our financial objectives. Our Executive ALM Committee meets regularly to review funding capacities, current and forecasted loan demand, and investment opportunities.

We manage our liquidity by maintaining pools of liquid assets on-balance sheet, consisting of cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other financial institutions, and unpledged securities available-for-sale, which we refer to as our primary liquidity. We also maintain available borrowing capacity under secured credit lines with the FHLB and the FRBSF, which we refer to as our secondary liquidity.
As a member of the FHLB, the Bank had secured borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $3.7$4.0 billion at December 31, 2018,2021, of which $2.7 billionall was available on that date. The FHLB secured credit line was collateralized by a blanket lien on $5.4$6.2 billion of certain qualifying loans. The Bank also had secured borrowing capacity with the FRBSF of $2.0$1.4 billion at December 31, 2018,2021, all of which was available on that date. The FRBSF secured credit line was collateralized by liens on $2.7$1.8 billion of qualifying loans.
In addition to its secured lines of credit, the Bank also maintains unsecured lines of credit for the purpose of borrowing overnight funds, subject to availability, of $141.0$112.0 million with the FHLB and $180.0 million in the aggregate with several correspondent banks. As of December 31, 2018,2021, there was a $141.0 millionno balance outstanding related to the FHLBthese unsecured linelines of credit. The Bank is a member of the AFX, through which it may either borrow or lend funds on an overnight or short-term basis with a group of pre-approved commercial banks. The availability of funds changes daily. As of December 31, 2018,2021, the Bank had borrowed $190.0 millionnothing through the AFX.

In addition to our primary liquidity, we generate liquidity from cash flows from our loan and securities portfolios and from our large base of core customer deposits, defined as noninterest-bearing demand, interest checking, savings, and non-brokered money market accounts. At December 31, 2018,2021, core deposits totaled $16.3$32.7 billion and represented 87%93% of the Company's total deposits. These coreCore deposits are normally less volatile, often with customer relationships tied to other products offered by the Bank promoting long-standing relationships and stable funding sources. See "- Balance Sheet Analysis - Deposits" for additional information and detail of our core deposits. We evaluate the stability of deposit relationships through a deposit scorecard process, considering factors such as balance, transactional activity, length of relationship, interest rate sensitivity, and utilization of other Bank products. The deposit scorecard results are used as an input for our liquidity stress test, which we routinely conduct as part of our liquidity management process.
Our deposit balances may decrease if interest rates increase significantly or if customers withdraw funds from the Bank. In order to address the Bank’s liquidity risk asfrom fluctuating deposit balances, may fluctuate, the Bank maintains adequate levels of available off-balance sheet liquidity.liquidity on and off the balance sheet.
We use brokered deposits, the availability of which is uncertain and subject to competitive market forces and regulation, for liquidity management purposes. At December 31, 2018,2021, brokered deposits totaled $1.1 billion, consisting primarily of $890.0 million of non-maturity brokered accounts and $195.7 million of brokered time deposits. At December 31, 2020, brokered deposits totaled $1.3 billion, consisting mainly of $729.4 million of brokered time deposits, $518.2 million$1.1 billion of non-maturity brokered accounts and $3.7 million of other brokered deposits. At December 31, 2017, brokered deposits totaled $1.6 billion, consisting of $732.2$195.7 million of brokered time deposits, $835.6 million of non-maturity brokered accounts, and $7.5 million of other brokered deposits.
Our liquidity policy includes guidelines for On-Balance Sheet Liquidity (a measurement of primary liquidity to total deposits plus borrowings), Liquidity Buffer Coverage Ratio (the ratio of cash and unpledged securities to the estimated 30 day cash outflow in a defined stress scenario), Liquidity Stress Test Survival Horizon (the number of days that the Bank’s liquidity buffer plus available secured borrowing capacity is sufficient to offset cumulative cash outflow in a defined stress scenario), Loan to Funding Ratio (measurement of gross loans net of fees divided by deposits plus borrowings), Wholesale Funding Ratio (measurement of wholesale funding divided by interest-earning assets), and other guidelines developed for measuring and maintaining liquidity. As ofAt December 31, 2018, we were2021, the Bank was in compliance with all of our established liquidity guidelines.
Holding Company Liquidity
PacWest acts a source of financial strength for the Bank which can also include being a source of liquidity. The primary sources of liquidity for the holding company include dividends from the Bank, intercompany tax payments from the Bank, and PacWest's ability to raise capital, issue subordinated debt, and secure outside borrowings. OurPacWest's ability to obtain funds for the payment of dividends to our stockholders, the repurchase of shares of common stock, and other cash requirements is largely dependent upon the Bank’s earnings. The Bank is subject to restrictions under certain federal and state laws and regulations that limit its ability to transfer funds to the holding company through intercompany loans, advances, or cash dividends. PacWest's ability to pay dividends is also subject to the restrictions set forth in Delaware law, by the FRB, and by certain covenants contained in our subordinated debt. Approval by the FRB is required prior to our declaring and paying a cash dividend during any period in which our quarterly and/or cumulative twelve-month net earnings are insufficient to fund the dividend amount, among other requirements. PacWest may not pay a dividend if the FRB objects or until such time as we receive approval from the FRB or we no longer need to provide notice under applicable regulations. In addition, we may be restricted by applicable law or regulation or actions taken by our regulators, now or in the future, from paying dividends. Due to the impact of the goodwill impairment charge on net earnings in the first quarter of 2020, we were required to receive approval from the FRB, as described above, prior to declaring a dividend, for the period of March 31, 2020 to March 31, 2021, but are no longer required to obtain such approval.
Dividends paid by California state-chartered banks are regulated by the FDIC for non-member banks and the DBODFPI under their general supervisory authority as it relates to a bank’s capital requirements.authority. The Bank may declare a dividend without the approval of the DBODFPI and FDIC as long as the total dividends declared in a calendar year do not exceed either the retained earnings or the total of net earnings for the three previous fiscal years less any dividends paid during such period. DividendsThe Bank had a cumulative net loss of $155.3 million during the three fiscal years of 2021, 2020, and 2019, compared to dividends of $776.0 million paid by the Bank during the three previous fiscal years exceeded the Bank's net earnings during that same period by $28.5 million.period. During the year ended December 31, 2018,2021, PacWest received $684.0$182.0 million in dividends from the Bank. Since the Bank had an accumulated deficit of $643.9 million$1.5 billion at December 31, 2018,2021, for the foreseeable future any dividends from the Bank to the holding companyPacWest will continue to require DBODFPI and FDIC approval.approval consistent with what has been required since 2008 when the Bank first had an accumulated deficit triggered by goodwill impairment write-downs during the financial crisis of 2007-2008.
At December 31, 2018,2021, PacWest had $242.9$176.9 million in cash and due from banks,cash equivalents, of which substantially all is on deposit at the Bank. We believe this amount of cash, along with anticipated future dividends from the Bank, will be sufficient to fund the holding company’s cash flow needs over the next 12 months, including any stock repurchases pursuant to the Company'smonths.

We believe that we will be able to meet our contractual obligations as they come due through the maintenance of adequate liquidity levels. We expect to maintain adequate liquidity levels through profitability, loan and lease payoffs, securities repayments and maturities, and continued deposit gathering activities. We also have in place various borrowing mechanisms for both short-term and long-term liquidity needs.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our obligations also include off-balance sheet arrangements consisting of loan commitments, of which only a portion is expected to be funded, and standby letters of credit. At December 31, 2018,2021, our loan commitments and standby letters of credit were $7.5$9.0 billion and $364.2 million.$345.8 million, respectively. The loan commitments, a portion of which will eventually result in funded loans, increase our profitability through net interest income when drawn and unused commitment fees prior to being drawn. We manage our overall liquidity taking into consideration funded and unfunded commitments as a percentage of our liquidity sources. Our liquidity sources, as described in “- Liquidity - Liquidity Management,” have been and are expected to be sufficient to meet the cash requirements of our lending activities. For further information on loan commitments, see Note 12. 14. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risk - Foreign Currency Exchange
We enter into foreign exchange contracts with our clients and counter-partycounterparty banks primarily for the purpose of offsetting or hedging clients' foreign currency exposures arising out of commercial transactions, and we enter into cross currency swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge exposures to loans and debt instruments denominated in foreign currencies. We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our net earnings as a result of transaction gains or losses related to revaluing certain asset and liability balances that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, and the derivative instrumentsderivatives that hedge those exposures. As of December 31, 2018,2021, the U.S. Dollar notional amounts of loans receivable and subordinated debenturesdebt payable denominated in foreign currencies were $48.3 million and $29.6was $29.3 million, and the U.S. Dollar notional amounts of derivatives outstanding to hedge these foreign currency exposures were $51.3 million and $29.2was $28.5 million. We recognized foreign currency translation net gains of $0.3 million, $0.3 million,$296,000, $3,000, and $0.5 million$150,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017,2021, 2020, and 2016,2019, respectively.
Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Interest Rate Risk
We measure our IRR position on at least a quarterlymonthly basis using two methods: (i) NII simulation analysis; and (ii) MVE modeling. The Executive ALM Committee and the Board Asset/Liability Management Committee review the results of these analyses quarterly. If hypothetical changes to interest rates cause changes to our simulated net present value of equity and/or net interest income outside our pre‑establishedpre-established limits, we may adjust our asset and liability mix in an effort to bring our interest rate risk exposure within our established limits.
We evaluated the results of our NII simulation model and MVE model prepared as of December 31, 2018,2021, the results of which are presented below. Our NII simulation indicatesand MVE model indicate that our balance sheet is asset-sensitive, while our MVE model indicates that our balance sheet had a slightly liability-sensitive profile.asset-sensitive. An asset-sensitive profile would suggest that a sudden sustained increase in rates would result in an increase in our estimated NII and MVE, while a liability-sensitive profile would suggest that these amounts would decrease.
Net Interest Income Simulation
We used a NII simulation model to measure the estimated changes in NII that would result over the next 12 months from immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2018.2021. This model is an interest rate risk management tool and the results are not necessarily an indication of our future net interest income. This model has inherent limitations and these results are based on a given set of rate changes and assumptions at one point in time. We have assumed no growth or changes in the product mix of either our total interest‑sensitiveinterest-sensitive assets or liabilities over the next 12 months, therefore the results reflect an interest rate shock to a static balance sheet.
This analysis calculates the difference between NII forecasted using both increasing and decreasing interest rate scenarios using the forward yield curve at December 31, 2018.2021. In order to arrive at the base case, we extend our balance sheet at December 31, 20182021 one year and reprice any assets and liabilities that would contractually reprice or mature during that period using the products’ pricing as of December 31, 2018.2021. Based on such repricing, we calculate an estimated tax equivalent NII and NIM for each rate scenario.
91
The NII simulation model is dependent upon numerous assumptions. For example, the substantial majority of our loans are variable rate whichthat are assumed to reprice in accordance with their contractual terms. Some loans and investment securities include the opportunity of prepayment (imbedded(embedded options) and the simulation model uses prepayment assumptions to estimate these prepaymentsaccelerated cash flows and reinvest these proceeds at current simulated yields. Our interest-bearing deposits reprice at our discretion and are assumed to reprice at a rate less than the change in market rates. The 12 month NII simulation model as of December 31, 20182021 assumes interest-bearing deposits reprice at 46%31% of the change in market rates in a rising interest rate scenario, depending on the amount of the rate change (this is commonly referred to as the "deposit beta").The effects of certain balance sheet attributes, such as fixed-rate loans, variable-rate loans that have reached their floors, and the volume of noninterest‑bearingnoninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of earning assets, impact our assumptions and consequently the results of our NII simulation model. ChangesAdditionally, we assume that all market interest rates have an interest rate floor of 0%. Changes that could vary significantly from our assumptions include loan and deposit growth or contraction, loan and depositdeposit pricing, changes in the mix of our earning assets or funding sources, and future asset/liability management decisions, all of which may have significant effects on our net interest income.
The following table presents forecasted net interest income and net interest margin for the next 12 months using the static balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and forward yield curve as of December 31, 2021 (which presumes three interest rate hikes in 2022) as the base scenario, with immediate and sustained parallel upward and downward movements in interest rates of 100, 200, and 300 basis points and sustained parallel downward movements in interest rates of 25, 50, and 100 basis points as of the date indicated:

In addition to parallel interest rate shock scenarios, we also model various alternative rate vectors that are viewed as more likely to occur in a typical monetary policy tightening cycle.vectors. The most favorable alternate rate vector that we model is the “Bear Flattener”Flattener Severe” scenario, when short-term rates increase faster than long-term rates, and the least favorable alternate rate vector that we model is the “Bull Steepener,” when short-term rates fall faster than long-term rates. In the “Bear Flattener”Flattener Severe” scenario, Year 1 tax equivalent NII increases increases by 0.3%,2.3%. Because of the low level of market interest rates and in the “Bull Steepener” scenario, Year 1 tax equivalent NII decreases by 2.1%.assumption that market rates contain a 0% floor, the ad hoc scenarios that assume decreasing interest rates do not differ materially from the base case scenario.

At December 31, 2021, we had $23.0 billion of total gross loans in the portfolio, $11.0that included $10.9 billion havewith variable interest rate terms (excluding hybrid loans discussed below). Of the variable interest rate loans, $9.2 billion, or 84%, contained interest rate floor provisions, which included $8.5 billion of loans with "in-the-money" floors, meaning the loan coupon will not adjust down if there are future decreases to the index interest rate. The following table summarizes the estimated balance of loans with "in-the-money" floors for the indicated increases in interest rates:

At December 31, 2018, $10.9 billion of these variable-rate loans have a loan rate higher than their floor rate, which allows them to reprice at their next reprice date upon a change in their index. Approximately 52% of the variable-rate loans (excluding hybrid loans) have a LIBOR index rate. Of the $186 million of loans with rates below their floor rates at December 31, 2018, $174 million (93.6%) will rise above their floor rates with a 100 basis point increase in market rates. LIBOR is expected to be phased out after 2021, as such the Company is assessing the impacts of this transition and exploring alternatives to use in place of LIBOR. The business processes impacted relate primarily to our variable-rate loans and our subordinated debentures, both of which are indexed to LIBOR.
LIBOR is expected to be phased out in 2023, as such the Company stopped originations of LIBOR-indexed loans effective December 31, 2021. The business processes impacted relate primarily to our variable-rate loans and our subordinated debt, both of which are indexed to LIBOR. For further information see Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Market Value of Equity
We measure the impact of market interest rate changes on the net present value of estimated cash flows from our assets, liabilities, and off‑balanceoff-balance sheet items, defined as the market value of equity, using our MVE model. This simulation model assesses the changes in the market value of our interest‑sensitiveinterest-sensitive financial instruments that would occur in response to an instantaneous and sustained increase or decrease in market interest rates of 100, 200, and 300 basis points and sustained decrease in market interest rates of 25, 50, and 100 basis points. This analysis assigns significant value to our noninterest-bearing deposit balances. The projections include various assumptions regarding cash flows and interest rates and are by their nature forward‑lookingforward-looking and inherently uncertain.
The MVE model is an interest rate risk management tool and the results are not necessarily an indication of our actual future results. Actual results may vary significantly from the results suggested by the market value of equity table. Loan prepayments and deposit attrition, changes in the mix of our earning assets or funding sources, and future asset/liability management decisions, among others, may vary significantly from our assumptions. The base case is determined by applying various current market discount rates to the estimated cash flows from the different types of assets, liabilities, and off‑balanceoff-balance sheet items existing at December 31, 2018.2021.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of PacWest Bancorp, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management maintains a comprehensive system of controls intended to ensure that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization, assets are safeguarded, and financial records are reliable. Management also takes steps to see that information and communication flows are effective and to monitor performance, including performance of internal control procedures.
As of December 31, 2018,2021, PacWest Bancorp management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework(2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018,2021, is effective.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements should they occur. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the control procedures may deteriorate.
On February 1, 2021, the Company acquired Civic Financial Services, LLC. As a result, $1.4 billion of loans, $6.8 million of allowance for credit losses, $74.1 million of loan servicing accounts receivable and $4.9 million of accrued interest receivable included in other assets, and $59.3 million of loan interest income in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended December 31, 2021 have been excluded from management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting of the Company as of December 31, 2021.
KPMG LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10‑K, has issued a report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018.2021. The report, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018,2021, is included in this Item under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
PacWest Bancorp:
Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PacWest Bancorp and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 20182021 and 2017,2020, the related consolidated statements of earnings (loss), comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2018,2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20182021 and 2017,2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2018,2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018,2021 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
The Company acquired Civic Financial Services, LLC during 2021, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, Civic Financial Services, LLC's internal control over financial reporting associated with $1.4 billion of loans, $6.8 million of allowance for credit losses, $74.1 million of loan servicing accounts receivable and $4.9 million of accrued interest receivable included in other assets, and $59.3 million of loan interest income included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Civic Financial Services, LLC.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for the recognition and measurement of credit losses as of January 1, 2020 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Overover Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
97
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Assessment of the allowance for credit losses for loans and leases collectively evaluated
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s allowance for credit losses for loans and leases collectively evaluated is the combination of an allowance for loan and lease losses collectively evaluated (reserve on pooled loans and leases) and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments (collective ACL). As discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s total allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2021 was $273.6 million, of which $271.0 million related to the collective ACL (the collective ACL). The collective ACL is measured with the current expected credit loss (CECL) approach for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and other commitments to extend credit which share similar risk characteristics and reflects losses over the remaining contractual life of an asset, considering the effect of prepayments and available information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about relevant historical loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances. The Company’s CECL methodology for the reserve on pooled loans and leases component includes both quantitative and qualitative loss factors which are applied to the population of loans and leases and assessed at a pool level. The Company estimates the probability of default (PD) during the reasonable and supportable period using econometric regression models developed to correlate macroeconomic variables to historical credit performance. The loans and unfunded commitments are grouped into loss given default (LGD) pools based on portfolio classes that share similar collateral risk characteristics. LGD rates are computed based on the net charge-offs recognized divided by the exposure at default (EAD) of defaulted loans. The Company estimates the reserve for unfunded loan commitments using the same PD, LGD, and prepayment rates as used for the reserve on pooled loans and leases. The reserve for unfunded loan commitments is computed using expected future utilization rates of the unfunded commitments during the contractual life of the commitments based on historical usage of unfunded commitments by loan pool. For the reasonable and supportable forecast period, future macroeconomic events and
98
circumstances are estimated using a single scenario economic forecast that is consistent with the Company’s current expectations for the loan pools. The EAD is multiplied by the PD and LGD rates to calculate expected losses through the end of the forecast period. The Company then reverts on a straight-line basis from the PD, LGD and prepayment rates used during the reasonable and supportable period to the Company’s historical PD, LGD and prepayment experience. The qualitative portion of the reserve on pooled loans and leases represents the Company’s judgment of additional considerations to account for internal and external risk factors that are not adequately measured in the quantitative reserve, including consideration of idiosyncratic risk factors, conditions that may not be reflected in quantitatively derived results, or other relevant factors to ensure the collective ACL reflects the Company’s best estimate of current expected credit losses.
We identified the assessment of the collective ACL as a critical audit matter. A high degree of audit effort, including specialized skills and knowledge, and subjective and complex auditor judgment was involved in the assessment. Specifically, the assessment encompassed the evaluation of the collective ACL methodology, including the methods and models used to estimate the PD, LGD, prepayments and their significant assumptions, including the pooling of loans and leases which share similar risk characteristics, the economic forecast and macroeconomic events and circumstances, the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the reversion to the Company’s historical PD, LGD and prepayment experience for the remaining contractual life of the loans and leases, internal risk ratings for commercial loans, and the qualitative loss factors and their significant assumptions, including the idiosyncratic risk factors. The assessment included an evaluation of the conceptual soundness of the PD, LGD, and prepayment models. The assessment also encompassed the determination of expected future utilization rates on unfunded loan commitments utilized in the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. In addition, auditor judgment was required to evaluate the sufficiency of audit evidence obtained.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s measurement of the collective ACL estimate, including controls over the:
•development and approval of the collective ACL methodology
•development of the PD, LGD and prepayment models
•identification and determination of the significant assumptions used in the PD, LGD and prepayment models used to calculate the collective ACL
•development of the qualitative loss factors, including the significant assumptions used in the measurement of the qualitative factors
•development of the expected future utilization rates of unfunded loan commitments
•analysis of the collective ACL results, trends and ratios.
We evaluated the Company’s process to develop the collective ACL estimate by testing certain sources of data, factors, and assumptions that the Company used, and considered the relevance and reliability of such data, factors and assumptions. In addition, we involved credit risk professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in the following:
•evaluating the collective ACL methodology for compliance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
•evaluating judgments made by the Company relative to the development and performance of the PD, LGD, and prepayment models by comparing them to relevant Company-specific metrics and trends and the applicable industry and regulatory practices
•assessing the conceptual soundness and performance of the PD, LGD and prepayment models by inspecting the model documentation to determine whether the models are suitable for their intended use
•evaluating the selection of the economic forecast and underlying assumptions by comparing them to relevant Company-specific metrics and trends and the applicable industry and regulatory practices
99
•evaluating the economic forecast and macroeconomic events and circumstances through comparison to publicly available forecasts
•evaluating the length of the historical observation period, reasonable and supportable forecast period, and reversion period by comparing them to specific portfolio risk characteristics and trends
•determining whether the loan and lease portfolio is pooled by similar risk characteristics by comparing to the Company’s business environment and relevant industry practices
•evaluating individual internal risk ratings for a selection of commercial loans by evaluating the financial performance of the borrower, sources of repayment, and any relevant guarantees or underlying collateral
•evaluating the methodology used to develop the qualitative loss factors and their significant assumptions, and the effect of those factors on the collective ACL compared with relevant credit risk factors and consistency with credit trends and identified limitations of the underlying quantitative models
•evaluating the methodology of the expected future utilization rates of unfunded loan commitments by comparing them to relevant Company-specific metrics and trends.
We also assessed the sufficiency of the audit evidence obtained related to the Company’s collective ACL by evaluating the:
•cumulative results of the audit procedures
•qualitative aspects of the Company’s accounting practices
•potential bias in the accounting estimate.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company early-adopted ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." The TCJA required deferred tax assets and liabilities to be re-measured at its enactment date for the effect of the change in the federal corporate tax rate. This process resulted in "stranded tax effects" in AOCI for deferred tax asset or liabilities which were established with an offsetting amount in AOCI. ASU 2018-02 allows for a reclassification of the stranded tax effects resulting from the enactment of the TCJA from AOCI to retained earnings. The Company elected to reclassify all of its stranded tax effects of $6.665 million from AOCI to retained earnings effective January 1, 2018, while no other income tax effects related to the application of the TCJA were reclassified.
In August 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-06, "Presentation of operations, or cash flows.
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The adoption of this disclosure guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of: (1) cash and due from banks, and (2) interest‑earning deposits in financial institutions.institutions, and (3) securities purchased under resale agreements. Interest‑earning deposits in financial institutions represent mostly cash held at the FRBSF, the majority of which is immediately available.
(f) Investment in Debt Securities
We determine the classification of securities at the time of purchase. If we have the intent and the ability at the time of purchase to hold securities until maturity, they are classified as held‑to‑maturity. Securities held‑to‑maturity areand stated at amortized cost. We do not classify any securities as held-to-maturity. Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time, but not necessarily to be held‑to‑maturity or on a long‑term basis, are classified as available‑for‑sale and carried at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes. Securities available‑for‑sale include securities that management intends to use as part of its asset/liability management strategy and that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, and other related factors. Securities are individually evaluated for appropriate classification when acquired. As a result, similar types of securities may be classified differently depending on factors existing at the time of purchase.
The carrying values of all securities are adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using the interest method. Premiums on callable securities are amortized to the earliest call date. Realized gains or losses on the sale of securities, if any, are determined using the amortized cost of the specific securities sold. DeclinesSuch gains or losses are included in "Gain on sale of securities" on the consolidated statements of earnings (loss).
Prior to January 1, 2020, debt securities available-for-sale were measured at fair value and declines in the fair value of debt securities classified as available-for-sale arewere reviewed to determine whether the impairment iswas other-than-temporary. This review considers a number of factors, including the severity ofIf the decline in fair value current market conditions, historical performancewas considered temporary, the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of thea security risk ratings and the length of time the security has beenwas recognized in an unrealized loss position.other comprehensive income (loss). If we dodid not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, then an other-than-temporary impairment iswas considered to have occurred. The cost basis of the security iswas written down to its estimated fair value and the amount of the write‑down iswrite-down was recognized through a charge to earnings. If the amount of the amortized cost basis expected to be recovered increased in a future period, the cost basis of the security was not increased but rather recognized prospectively through interest income.
Effective January 1, 2020, upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," debt securities available-for-sale are measured at fair value and are subject to impairment testing. A security is impaired if the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis. When an available-for-sale debt security is considered impaired, the Company must determine if the decline in fair value has resulted from a credit-related loss or other factors and then, (1) recognize an allowance for credit losses by a charge to earnings for the credit-related component (if any) of the decline in fair value, and (2) recognize in other comprehensive income (loss) any non-credit related components (if any) of the fair value decline. If the amount of the amortized cost basis expected to be recovered increases in a future period, the valuation allowance would be reduced, but not more than the amount of the current existing allowance for that security.
(g) Equity and Other Investments
Investments in equity securities are classified into one of the following two categories and accounted as follows:
•Securities with a readily determinable fair value are reported at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in earnings.
•Securities without a readily determinable fair value for which we have elected the "measurement alternative" are reported at cost less impairment (if any) plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer.
109
PACWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Investments in common or preferred stock that are not publicly traded and certain investments in limited partnerships are considered equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value. On a quarterly basis, we review our equity investments without readily determinable fair values for impairment. We consider a number of qualitative factors such as whether there is a significant deterioration in earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee in determining if impairment exists. If the investment is considered impaired, an impairment loss equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds its fair value is recorded through a charge to earnings. The impairment loss may be reversed in a subsequent period if there are observable transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer at a higher amount than the carrying amount that was established when the impairment was recognized. Impairment as well as upward or downward adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments are included in “Noninterest income - other.”
Included in our equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value are our investments in non-public Small Business Investment Companies ("SBICs"). All of our SBIC investments meet the definition of investment companies, as defined in ASC 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. We elected the practical expedient available in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, which permits the use of net asset value ("NAV") per share or equivalent to value investments in entities that are or are similar to investment companies. SBICs are required to value and report their investments at estimated fair value. We record the unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of our SBIC investments as gains or losses on equity investments in our consolidated statements of earnings (loss). The carrying value of our SBIC investments is equal to the capital account balance per each SBIC entities' quarterly financial statements.
Realized gains or losses resulting from the sale of equity investments are calculated using the specific identification method and are included in "Noninterest income - other."
If we have the ability to significantly influence the operating and financial policies of the investee, the investment is accounted for pursuant to the equity method of accounting. This is generally presumed to exist when we own between 20% and 50% of a corporation, or when we own greater than 5% of a limited partnership or similarly structured entity. Our equity investment carrying values are included in other assets and our share of earnings and losses in equity method investees is included in "Noninterest income - other" on the consolidated statements of earnings (loss).
Investments in FHLB stock are carried at cost and evaluated regularly for impairment. FHLB stock is expected to be redeemed at par and is a required investment based on measurements of the Bank’s assets and/or borrowing levels.
Originated loans. Loans are originated by the Company with the intent to hold them for investment and are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income. Unearned income includes deferred unamortized nonrefundable loan fees and direct loan origination costs. Net deferred fees or costs are recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the contractual life of the loans primarily using the effective interest method or taken into income when the related loans are paid off or sold. The amortization of loan fees or costs is discontinued when a loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis in accordance with the terms of the respective loan.
Purchased loans. Purchased loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned discounts or unamortized premiums. All loans acquired in our acquisitions are initially measured and recorded at their fair value on the acquisition date. A component of the initial fair value measurement is an estimate of the credit losses over the life of the purchased loans. Purchased loans are also evaluated for impairmentto determine if they have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination or issuance as of the acquisition date and are accounted forclassified as “acquired non‑impaired”either (i) loans purchased without evidence of deteriorated credit quality (“non-PCD loans”), or “purchased(ii) loans purchased that have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit impaired” loans.quality, referred to as purchased credit deteriorated loans ("PCD loans”).
Acquired non‑impairedPCD loans. Acquired non‑impairedPCD loans are those loans for which there was no evidence of a more-than-insignificant credit deterioration at their acquisition date and it was probable that we would be able to collect all contractually required payments. Acquired non‑impairedPCD loans, together with originated loans, are referred to as Non‑PCIPCD loans. Purchase discounts or premiums on acquired non‑impairedPCD loans are recognized as an adjustment to interest income over the contractual life of such loans using the effective interest method or taken into income when the related loans are paid off or sold.

Purchased loans with credit impaired loans. Purchaseddeterioration. Prior to January 1, 2020, purchased credit impaired loans are referred to as PCI loans and arewere accounted for in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310‑30,310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality.” AAt the time of acquisition, these loans were recorded at estimated fair value based upon estimated future cash flows with no related allowance for credit losses.

This allowance is recognized through a gross-up that collection of all contractually required payments is unlikely. We apply PCI loan accounting when we acquire loans deemed to be impaired, and as a general policy election when we acquire a portfolio of loans in a distressed bank acquisition. As our gross PCI loan portfolio represented less than 0.4% of total loans asincreases the amortized cost basis of the end of 2017, beginningasset with no effect on net income.

We also haveprovide equipment financing through operating leases where we facilitate the purchase of equipment which is then leased to customers. The equipment is shown on our customers.consolidated balance sheets as "Equipment leased to others under operating leases" and is depreciated to its estimated residual value at the end of the lease term, shown as "Leased equipment depreciation" in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss), according to our fixed asset accounting policy. We receive periodic rental income payments under the leases, which are recorded as "Noninterest income" in the consolidated statements of earnings and the equipment remains on our balance sheet and is depreciated according to our fixed asset accounting policy.(loss).
Delinquent or past due loans and leases. Loans and leases are considered delinquent when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more. Delinquent loans may remain on accrual status between 30 days and 89 days past due.
Nonaccrual loans and leases. When we discontinue the accrual of interest on a loan or lease it is designated as nonaccrual. We discontinue the accrual of interest on a loan or lease generally when a borrower's principal or interest payments or a lessee's payments are past due 90 days or when, in the opinion of management, there is a reasonable doubt as to collectability in the normal course of business. Loans with interest or principal payments past due 90 days or leases with payments past due 90 days may be accruing if the loans or leases are concluded to be well-secured and in the process of collection; however, these loans or leases are still reported as nonperforming. When loans or leases are placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Interest on nonaccrual loans or leases is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash is received and the loan principal balance or lease balance is deemed collectable. Loans or leases are restored to accrual status when the loans or leases become both well‑secured and are in the process of collection.
Individually Evaluated Loans and Leases. Loans and leases that do not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets are individually evaluated for impairment and excluded from loan pools used within the collective evaluation of estimated credit losses. We defined the following criteria for what constitutes a “default,” which results in a loan no longer sharing similar risk characteristics with other loans, and therefore requires an individual evaluation for expected credit losses.The criteria for default may include any one of the following:
•On nonaccrual status,
•Modified under a TDR,
•Payment delinquency of 90 days or more,
•Partial charge-off recognized,
•Risk rated doubtful or loss, or
•Reasonably expected to be modified under a TDR.

Troubled debt restructurings. A loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring when we grant a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties that we otherwise would not consider under our normal lending policies. These concessions may include a reduction of the interest rate, principal or accrued interest, extension of the maturity date or other actions intended to minimize potential losses. All modifications of criticized loans are evaluated to determine whether such modifications are troubled debt restructurings as outlined under ASC Subtopic 310‑40, “Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors.” Loans restructured with an interest rate equal to or greater than that of a new loan with comparable market risk at the time the loan is modified may be excluded from certain restructured loan disclosures in years subsequent to the restructuring if the loans are in compliance with their modified terms.
Between March 2020 and December 2021, the Company granted various commercial and consumer loan modifications to provide borrowers relief from the economic impacts of COVID-19. In accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, the Company elected to not apply TDR classification to COVID-19 related loan modifications that met all of the requisite criteria as stipulated in the CARES Act.
A loan that has been placed on nonaccrual status that is subsequently restructured will usually remain on nonaccrual status until the borrower is able to demonstrate repayment performance in compliance with the restructured terms for a sustained period of time, typically for six months. A restructured loan may return to accrual status sooner based on other significant events or circumstances. A loan that has not been placed on nonaccrual status may be restructured and such loan may remain on accrual status after such restructuring. In these circumstances, the borrower has made payments before and after the restructuring. Generally, this restructuring involves maturity extensions, a reduction in the loan interest rate and/or a change to interest‑only payments for a period of time. The restructured loan is considered impaired despite the accrual status and a specific reserve is calculatedLoan modifications that qualify as troubled debt restructurings are individually evaluated for expected credit losses based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate or based on the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.

(i) Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases Held for Investment
Effective January 1, 2020, upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company replaced the incurred loss accounting approach with the current expected credit loss ("CECL") approach for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and other commitments to extend credit. CECL requires the immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the estimated remaining life of the asset. The forward-looking concept of CECL requires loss estimates to consider historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases held for investment is the combination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. The allowance for loan and lease losses is reported as a reduction of outstanding loanthe amortized cost basis of loans and lease balances andleases, while the reserve for unfunded loan commitments is included within "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheets. ForThe amortized cost basis of loans and leases acquireddoes not include accrued interest receivable, which is included in "Other assets" on the consolidated balance sheets. The "Provision for credit losses" on the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) is a combination of the provision for loan and measured atlease losses and the provision for unfunded loan commitments.
Under the CECL methodology, expected credit losses reflect losses over the remaining contractual life of an asset, considering the effect of prepayments and available information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about relevant historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances. Thus, the CECL methodology incorporates a broad range of information in developing credit loss estimates. The resulting allowance for loan and lease losses is deducted from the associated amortized cost basis to reflect the net amount expected to be collected. Subsequent changes in this estimate are recorded through the provision for credit losses and the allowance. The CECL methodology could result in significant changes to both the timing and amounts of provision for credit losses and the allowance as compared to historical periods. Loans and leases that are deemed to be uncollectable are charged off and deducted from the allowance. The provision for credit losses and recoveries on loans and leases previously charged off are added to the allowance.
The allowance for loan and lease losses is comprised of an individually evaluated component for loans and leases that no longer share similar risk characteristics with other loans and leases and a pooled loans component for loans and leases that share similar risk characteristics.
A loan or lease with an outstanding balance greater than $250,000 is individually evaluated for expected credit loss when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the agreement. We select loans and leases for individual assessment on an ongoing basis using certain criteria such as payment performance, borrower reported and forecasted financial results, and other external factors when appropriate. We measure the current expected credit loss of an individually evaluated loan or lease based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan or lease is collateral-dependent or the present value of cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate, if the loan or lease is not collateral-dependent. To the extent a loan or lease balance exceeds the estimated collectable value, a reserve or charge-off is recorded depending upon either the certainty of the estimate of loss or the fair value of the loan’s collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent.
Our CECL methodology for the pooled loans component includes both quantitative and deemed non-impairedqualitative loss factors which are applied to our population of loans and leases and assessed at a pool level. The quantitative CECL model estimates credit losses by applying pool-specific probability of default ("PD") and loss given default ("LGD") rates to the expected exposure at default ("EAD") over the contractual life of loans and leases. The qualitative component considers internal and external risk factors that may not be adequately assessed in the quantitative model.
The loan portfolio is segmented into four loan segments, eight loan classes, and 18 loan pools (excluding Paycheck Protection Program loans, which are fully government guaranteed) based upon loan type that share similar default risk characteristics to calculate quantitative loss factors for each pool. Two of these loan pools have insignificant current balances and/or insignificant historical losses, thus, estimated losses are calculated using historical loss rates from the first quarter of 2009 to the current period rather than econometric regression modeling. For the remaining 16 loan pools, we estimate the PD during the reasonable and supportable forecast period using seven econometric regression models developed to correlate macroeconomic variables to historical credit performance (based on quarterly transition matrices for the economic cycle from 2009 to 2019, which include risk rating upgrades/downgrades and defaults).
113
PACWEST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The loans and unfunded commitments are grouped into eight LGD pools based on portfolio classes that share similar collateral risk characteristics. LGD rates are computed based on the acquisitionnet charge-offs recognized divided by the EAD of defaulted loans starting with the first quarter of 2009 to the current period. The PD and LGD rates are applied to the EAD at the loan or lease level based on contractual scheduled payments and estimated prepayments. We use our actual historical loan prepayment experience from 2009 to 2019, consistent with the economic cycle used for our PD regression models, to estimate future prepayments by loan pool. Loans and leases with outstanding balances less than or equal to $250,000, where it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the agreement, remain in their respective pools and are assigned a 100% probability of default.
For the reasonable and supportable forecast period, future macroeconomic events and circumstances are estimated over a 4-quarter time horizon using a single scenario economic forecast that is consistent with management's current expectations for the 16 loan pools. We use economic forecasts from Moody's Analytics in this process. The economic forecast is updated monthly; therefore, the forecast used for each quarter-end calculation is generally released a few weeks prior to quarter-end. If economic conditions as of the balance sheet date change materially, management would consider a qualitative adjustment. The key macroeconomic assumptions used in each of the seven PD regression models include two or three of the following economic indicators: Real GDP, unemployment rates, CRE Price Index, the BBB corporate spread, nominal disposable income, and CPI.
The quantitative CECL model applies the projected rates based on the economic forecasts for the 4-quarter reasonable and supportable forecast horizon to EAD to estimate defaulted loans. During this forecast horizon, prepayment rates during a historical period that exhibits economic conditions most similar to the economic forecast are used to estimate EAD. If no historical period from the 2009 to 2019 economic cycle exhibits economic conditions that are similar to the economic forecast, management uses its best estimate of prepayments expected over the reasonable and supportable forecast period which may, in some circumstances, be the average of all historical prepayment experience. Historical LGD rates are applied to estimated defaulted loans to determine estimated credit losses. We then use a 2-quarter reversion period to revert on a straight-line basis from the PD, LGD, and prepayment rates used during the reasonable and supportable forecast period to the Company’s historical PD, LGD, and prepayment experience. Subsequent to the reversion period for the remaining contractual life of loans and leases, the PD, LGD, and prepayment rates are based on historical experience during the economic cycle from 2009 to 2019. PD regression models and prepayment rates are updated on an annual basis. During the annual model performance assessment for 2021, we considered updating the prepayment rates and PD models with 2020 data, however, we elected not to include historical data from 2020 to assess the quantitative expected credit losses because we believe 2020 did not represent normal economic behavior considering the changes in macroeconomic variables and the significant levels of government relief programs. As such, we continued to use the most recent and complete economic cycle from 2009 to 2019 to assess quantitative expected credit losses. LGD rates are updated every quarter to reflect current charge-off activity.
The PDs calculated by the quantitative models are highly correlated to our allowance methodology measuresinternal risk ratings assigned to each loan and lease. To ensure the accuracy of our credit risk ratings, an independent credit review function assesses the appropriateness of the credit risk ratings assigned to loans and leases on a regular basis. The credit risk ratings assigned to every loan and lease are as follows:
•High Pass: (Risk ratings 1-2) Loans and leases rated as "high pass" exhibit a favorable credit profile and have minimal risk characteristics. Repayment in full is expected, even in adverse economic conditions.
•Pass: (Risk ratings 3-4) Loans and leases rated as "pass" are not adversely classified and collection and repayment in full are expected.
•Special Mention: (Risk rating 5) Loans and leases rated as "special mention" have a potential weakness that requires management's attention. If not addressed, these potential weaknesses may result in further deterioration in the borrower's ability to repay the loan or lease.
•Substandard: (Risk rating 6) Loans and leases rated as "substandard" have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the collection of the debt. They are characterized by the possibility that we will sustain some loss if the weaknesses are not corrected.
•Doubtful: (Risk rating 7) Loans and leases rated as "doubtful" have all the weaknesses of those rated as "substandard," with the additional trait that the weaknesses make collection or repayment in full highly questionable and improbable.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
We may refer to the loans and leases with assigned credit qualityrisk ratings of "substandard" and "doubtful" together as "classified" loans and leases. For further information on classified loans and leases, see Note 5. Loans and Leases.
In addition to our internal risk rating process, our federal and state banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s loan and lease risk rating classifications. Our regulators may require the Company to recognize rating downgrades based on information available to them at the time of their examinations. Risk rating downgrades generally result in increases in the provisions for credit losses and the allowance for credit losses.
The qualitative portion of the reserve on pooled loans and leases represents management’s judgment of additional considerations to account for internal and external risk factors that are not adequately measured in the quantitative reserve. The qualitative loss factors consider idiosyncratic risk factors, conditions that may not be reflected in quantitatively derived results, or other inherent risksrelevant factors to ensure the allowance for credit losses reflects our best estimate of current expected credit losses. Current and forecasted economic trends and underlying market values for collateral dependent loans are generally considered to be encompassed within the CECL quantitative reserve. An incremental qualitative adjustment may be considered when economic forecasts exhibit higher levels of volatility or uncertainty.
In addition to economic conditions and collateral dependency, the other qualitative criteria we consider when establishing the loss factors include the following:
•Legal and Regulatory - matters that could impact our borrowers’ ability to repay our loans and leases;
•Concentrations - loan and lease portfolio composition and any loan concentrations;
•Lending Policy - current lending policies and the effects of any new policies or policy amendments;
•Nature and Volume - loan and lease production volume and mix;
•Problem Loan Trends - loan and lease portfolio credit performance trends, including a borrower's financial condition, credit rating, and ability to meet loan payment requirements;
•Loan Review - results of independent credit review; and
•Management - changes in management related to these acquired assetscredit administration functions.
We estimate the reserve for unfunded loan commitments using the same PD, LGD, and prepayment rates for the quantitative credit losses and qualitative loss factors as used for the allowance for loan and lease losses. The EAD for the reserve for unfunded loan commitments is computed using expected future utilization rates of the unfunded commitments during the contractual life of the commitments based on historical usage by loan pool from 2015 to 2020. The utilization rates are updated on an annual basis.
The CECL methodology requires a significant amount of management judgment in determining the appropriate allowance for credit losses. Most of the steps in the methodology involve judgment and are subjective in nature including, among other things: segmenting the loan and lease portfolio; determining the amount of loss history to consider; selecting predictive econometric regression models that use appropriate macroeconomic variables; determining the methodology to forecast prepayments; selecting the most appropriate economic forecast scenario; determining the length of the reasonable and supportable forecast and reversion periods; estimating expected utilization rates on unfunded loan commitments; and assessing relevant and appropriate qualitative factors. In addition, the CECL methodology is dependent on economic forecasts which are inherently imprecise and will change from period to period. Although the allowance for credit losses is considered appropriate, there can be no assurance that it will be sufficient to absorb future losses.
Management believes the allowance for credit losses is appropriate for the current expected credit losses in our loan and lease portfolio and associated unfunded commitments, and the credit risk ratings and inherent loss rates currently assigned are reasonable and appropriate as of the reporting date. It is possible that others, given the same information, may occur afterat any point in time reach different conclusions that could result in a significant impact to the acquisition date.Company's consolidated financial statements.
Prior to January 1, 2020, the allowance for loan losses was measured using the incurred loss accounting approach. The allowance for credit losses iswas maintained at a level deemed appropriate by management to adequately provide for known and inherent risks in the loan and lease portfolio and other extensions of credit at the balance sheet date. The allowance iswas based upon our review of the credit quality of the loan and lease portfolio, which includes payment trends, borrowers' compliance with loan agreements, borrowers' current and budgeted financial performance, collateral valuation trends, and current economic factors and external conditions that may affect our borrowers' ability to make payments to us in accordance with contractual terms. Loans and leases that are deemed

Notes to be uncollectable are charged off and deducted from the allowance. The provision for loan and lease losses and recoveries on loans and leases previously charged off are added to the allowance.Consolidated Financial Statements
The allowance for loan and lease losses hashad a general reserve component for unimpaired loans and leases and a specific reserve component for impaired loans and leases.
A loan or lease iswas considered impaired when it iswas probable that we willwould be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the agreement. We assessassessed our loans and leases for impairment on an ongoing basis using certain criteria such as payment performance, borrower reported financial results and budgets, and other external factors when appropriate. We measuremeasured impairment of a loan or lease based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan or lease iswas collateral-dependent or the present value of cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate, if the loan or lease iswas not collateral-dependent. To the extent a loan or lease balance exceedsexceeded the estimated collectable value, a specific reserve or charge-off iswas recorded depending upon either the certainty of the estimate of loss or the fair value of the loan’s collateral if the loan iswas collateral-dependent. Impaired loans and leases with outstanding balances less than or equal to $250,000 maymight not be individually assessed for impairment but arewould be assessed with reserves based on the average loss severity on historical impaired loans with similar risk characteristics.
Our allowance methodology for the general reserve component includesincluded both quantitative and qualitative loss factors which arewere applied to our population of unimpaired loans and leases to estimate our general reserves.The quantitative loss factors considerdetermination was based on a probability of default/loss given default ("PD/LGD") methodology which considered the likelihood of loans defaulting based on the historical degree that similar loans defaulted and the degree of credit losses based on the historical average degree of loss experienced for these similar loans and leases pooled both by loan or lease type and credit risk rating; loans with more adverse credit risk ratings havehad higher quantitative loss factors. The qualitative loss factors consider,considered, among other things, current economic trends and forecasts, current collateral values and performance trends, credit performance trends, and the loan portfolio's current composition. As noted below in " Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses - Change in Methodology," we changed our methodology for calculating the ALLL in the second quarter of 2018. See that section for details regarding this change.
The quantitative estimation of the allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2018 considered actual historical loan and lease charge-off experience over a 40-quarter44-quarter look-back period starting with the first quarter of 2009. This look-back period iswas inclusive of the average timeframe over which charge-offs typically occuroccurred following loan or lease origination. The estimationorigination and allowed for the capture of the allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2017 considered actual historical loan and lease charge-off experience over a 31-quarter look-back period starting with the first quarter of 2010. The increase in the historical look-back period to a 40-quarter look-back period at December 31, 2018 from 31 quarters at December 31, 2017 was done as part of our ALLL methodology change in the second quarter of 2018 and allows the look-back period to capture sufficient loss observations that iswere relevant to the current portfolio. In a good economic cycle with less frequent loss events, management believes a longer look-back period is more appropriate to reflect the level of incurred losses over an entire economic cycle. When estimating the general reserve component for the various pools of similar loan types, the loss factors applied to the loan pools considerconsidered the current credit risk ratings, giving greater weight to loans with more adverse credit risk ratings. We recognizerecognized that the determination of the allowance for credit losses iswas sensitive to the assigned credit risk ratings and inherent loss rates at any given point in time. To ensure the accuracy of our credit risk ratings, an independent credit review function assesses the appropriateness of the credit risk ratings assigned to loans on a regular basis.
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation and amortization is charged to "Noninterest expense" in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) using the straight‑line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of furniture, fixtures and equipment range from 3 to 7 years and for buildings up to 30 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives, or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter.
Foreclosed assets include OREO and repossessed non-real estate assets. Foreclosed assets are initially recorded at the estimated fair value of the property, based on current independent appraisals obtained at the time of acquisition, less estimated costs to sell, including senior obligations such as delinquent property taxes. The excess of the recorded loan balance over the estimated fair value of the property at the time of acquisition less estimated costs to sell is charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Any subsequent write‑downs are charged to "Noninterest expense" in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) and recognized through a foreclosed assets valuation allowance. Subsequent increases in the fair value of the asset less selling costs reduce the foreclosed assets valuation allowance, but not below zero, and are credited to "Noninterest expense." Gains and losses on the sale of foreclosed assets and operating expenses of such assets are included in "Noninterest expense."

(l) Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. Any interest or penalties assessed by the taxing authorities is classified in the financial statements as income tax expense. Deferred tax assets and liabilities of the same jurisdiction, net of valuation allowances, are grouped together and reported net on the consolidated balance sheets.
On a quarterlyperiodic basis, the Company evaluates its deferred tax assets to assess whether they are expected to be realized in the future. This determination is based on currently available facts and circumstances, including our current and projected future tax positions, the historical level of our taxable income, and estimates of our future taxable income. In most cases, the realization of deferred tax assets is based on our future profitability. To the extent our deferred tax assets are not considered more likely than not to be realized, we are required to record a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets by charging earnings. The Company also evaluates existing valuation allowances periodically to determine if sufficient evidence exists to support an increase or reduction in the allowance.
Goodwill and other intangible assets arise from the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Goodwill and other intangible assets generated from business combinations and deemed to have indefinite lives are not subject to amortization and instead are tested for impairment at least annually unless certain events occur or circumstances change.a triggering event occurs thereby requiring an updated assessment. Our regular annual impairment assessment occurs in the fourth quarter. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets and other identifiable intangible assets acquired. We test for goodwill impairment annually or earlier if events or changes in circumstances indicate goodwill might possibly be impaired. Impairment exists when the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. An impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess as a charge to "Noninterest expense" in the consolidated statements of earnings.earnings (loss).
Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over such useful lives to their estimated residual values. CDI and CRI are recognized apart from goodwill at the time of acquisition based on market valuations. In preparing such valuations, variables considered included deposit servicing costs, attrition rates, and market discount rates. CDI assets are amortized to expense over their useful lives, which we have estimated to range from 7 to 10 years. CRI assets are amortized to expense over their useful lives, which we have estimated to range from 4 to 7 years. The amortization expense represents the estimated decline in the value of the underlying deposits or customer relationships acquired.
Both CDI and CRI are reviewed for impairment quarterly or earlier if events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. If the recoverable amount of either CDI or CRI is determined to be less than its carrying value, we would then measure the amount of impairment based on an estimate of the intangible asset’s fair value at that time. If the fair value is below the carrying value, then the intangible asset is reduced to such fair value; an impairment loss for such amount would be recognized as a charge to "Noninterest expense" in the consolidated statements of earnings.earnings (loss).
As of December 31, 2021, the Company only had operating leases related to our leased facilities. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by assessing whether there is an identified asset and whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating leases with a term of more than one year are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, which are reported in "Other assets" and "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.The Company made a policy election to apply the short-term lease exemption to any operating leases with an original term of less than 12 months, therefore no ROU asset or lease liability is recorded for these operating leases. The Company has agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses the incremental borrowing rate commensurate with the lease term based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. ROU assets initially equal the lease liability, adjusted for any prepaid lease payments and initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received.
Certain of the Company's lease agreements include rental payments that adjust periodically based on changes in the CPI. We initially measure the present value of the lease payments using the index at the lease commencement date. Subsequent increases in the CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. The ROU assets and lease liabilities are not re-measured as a result of changes in the CPI. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options to extend or terminate are assessed on a lease-by-lease basis, and the ROU assets and lease liabilities are adjusted when it is reasonably certain that an option will be exercised. Rent expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in "Occupancy expense" on the Company's consolidated statements of earnings (loss).
The Company uses the long-lived assets impairment guidance under ASC Topic 360-10-35, "Property, Plant and Equipment,"to determine whether an ROU asset is impaired, and if impaired, the amount of loss to recognize. Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. These could include vacating the leased space, obsolescence, or physical damage to a facility. Under ASC Topic 842, "Leases," if an impairment loss is recognized for a ROU asset, the adjusted carrying amount of the ROU asset would be its new accounting basis. The remaining ROU asset (after the impairment write-down) is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.
(o) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company issues stock-based compensation instruments consisting of TRSAs and PRSUs. Compensation expense related to TRSAs is based on the fair value of the underlying stock on the award date and is recognized over the vesting period using the straight‑line method. Forfeitures of stock-based awards are recognized when they occur. Compensation expense related to PRSUs is based on the fair value of the underlying stock on the award date and is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method unless it is determined that: (1) attainment of the financial metrics is less than probable, in which case a portion of the amortization is suspended, or (2) attainment of the financial metrics is improbable, in which case a portion of the previously recognized amortization is reversed and also suspended. If it is determined that attainment of a financial measure higher than target is probable, the amortization will increase up to 150% or 200% of the target amortization amount. Annual PRSU expense may vary during the three-year performance period based upon changes in management's estimate of the number of shares that may ultimately vest. In the case where the performance target for the PRSU’s is based on a market condition (such as total shareholder return), the amortization is neither reversed nor suspended if it is subsequently determined that the attainment of the performance target is less than probable or improbable.improbable and the employee continues to meet the service requirement of the award.
Unvested TRSAs participate with common stock in any dividends declared and paid. Dividends are paid on unvested TRSAs and are charged to equity and the related tax impact is recorded to income tax expense. Dividends paid on forfeited TRSAs are charged to compensation expense. Unvested PRSUs participate with common stock in any dividends declared, but are only paid only on the shares which ultimately vest, if any, at the end of the three-year performance period. At the time of vesting, the vested shares are entitled to receive cumulative dividends declared and paid during the three-year performance period. Such dividends are accrued during the three-year performance period at the estimated level of shares to be received by the award holder.

The Bank offers interest rate swap products to certain loan customers to allow them to hedge the risk of rising interest rates on their variable-rate loans. When such products are issued, we also enter into an offsetting swap with institutional counterparties to eliminate the interest rate risk to us. These back-to-back swap agreements, which generate fee income for us, are intended to offset each other. We retain the credit risk of the original loan. The net cash flow for us is equal to the interest income received from a notionalvariable rate loan originated with the client plus a fee. These swaps are not designated as accounting hedges and are recorded at fair value in "Other assets" and "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities" in the consolidated balance sheets. The changes in fair value are recorded in "Noninterest income - other" in the consolidated statements of $80.5 million.earnings (loss).
In connection with negotiated credit facilities and certain other services, we may obtain equity warrant assets giving us the right to acquire stock in primarily private, venture-backed companies. We account for equity warrant assets as derivatives when they contain net settlement terms and other qualifying criteria under ASC 815. These equity warrant assets are measured at estimated fair value on a monthly basis and are classified as "Other assets" in the consolidated balance sheets at the time they are obtained.
Derivative instruments expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. This risk exposure consists primarily of the termination value of agreements where we are in a favorable position. We manage the credit risk associated with various derivative agreements through counterparty credit review and monitoring procedures.
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net earnings and net unrealized gains (losses) on debt securities available‑for‑sale, net, and is presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.income (loss).
In accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share,” all outstanding unvested share‑based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends are considered participating securities and are included in the two‑class method of determining basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. All of our unvested restricted stock participates with our common stockholders in dividends. Accordingly, earnings allocated to unvested restricted stock are deducted from net earnings (loss) to determine that amount of earnings (loss) available to common stockholders. In the two‑class method, the amount of our earnings (loss) available to common stockholders is divided by the weighted average shares outstanding, excluding any unvested restricted stock, for both the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share.

(s) Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” Under the acquisition method, the acquiring entity in a business combination recognizes 100 percent of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, regardless of the percentage owned, at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets and other identifiable intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. To the extent the fair value of net assets acquired, including other identifiable assets, exceeds the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recognized. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed from contingencies must also be recognized at fair value, if the fair value can be determined during the measurement period. Results of operations of an acquired business are included in the statementconsolidated statements of earnings (loss) from the date of acquisition. Acquisition‑related costs, including conversion and restructuring charges, are expensed as incurred.
We regularly assess our strategic plans, operations and reporting structures to identify our reportable segments. Changes to our reportable segments are expected to be infrequent. As of December 31, 20182021 and since December 31, 2015, we have operated as one1 reportable segment. Civic, which we acquired on February 1, 2021, is an operating segment, however, it does not meet the quantitative thresholds for disclosure as a reportable segment. The factors considered in making this determination include the nature of products and offered services, geographic regions in which we operate, the applicable regulatory environment, and the discrete financial information reviewed by our key decision makers. Through our network of banking offices nationwide, our entire operations provide relationship-based banking products, services and solutions for small to mid-sized companies, entrepreneurial and venture-backed businesses, venture capital and private equity investors, real estate investors, professionals and other individuals. Our products and services include commercial real estate, multi-family, commercial business, construction and land, consumer and government-guaranteed small business loans, business and personal deposit products, HOA services, and treasury cash management services.

FHLB Stock
In connection with outstanding FHLB advances, the Bank owned FHLB stock carried at cost of $32.1 million and $20.8$17.3 million at December 31, 20182021 and 2017.2020. At December 31, 20182021 and 2017,2020, the Bank was required to own FHLB stock at least equal to 2.7%a percentage of outstanding FHLB advances. During the year ended December 31, 2018, FHLB stock increased by $11.3 million due to $55.6 million in purchases, offset partially by $44.3 million in redemptions. We evaluated the carrying value of our FHLB stock investment at December 31, 2018,2021 and determined that it was not impaired. Our evaluation considered the long-term nature of the investment, the current financial and liquidity position of the FHLB, repurchase activity of excess stock by the FHLB at its carrying value, the return on the investment from recurring dividends, and our intent and ability to hold this investment for a period of time sufficient to recover our recorded investment.

TDRs are a result of rate reductions, term extensions, fee concessions, transfers to foreclosed assets, discounted loan payoffs, and debt forgiveness, or a combination thereof. Between March 2020 and December 2021, the Company granted various commercial and consumer loan modifications to provide borrowers relief from the economic impacts of COVID-19. In accordance with the CARES Act, the Company elected to not apply TDR classification to COVID-19 related loan modifications that met all of the requisite criteria as stipulated in the CARES Act. The following table presents our troubled debt restructurings of loans held for investment and defaulted troubled debt restructurings of loans held for investment by loan portfolio segment and class for the years indicated:

Leases Receivable
We provide equipment financing to our customers primarily with operating and direct financing leases. For direct financing leases, lease receivables are recorded on the balance sheet but the leased equipment is not, although we generally retain legal title to the leased equipment until the end of each lease. Direct financing leases are stated at the net amount of minimum lease payments receivable, plus any unguaranteed residual value, less the amount of unearned income and net acquisition discount at the reporting date. Direct lease origination costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the leases. Direct financing leases are subject to our accounting for allowance for loan and lease losses. See Note 10. Leases for information regarding operating leases where we are the lessor.

The allowance for loan and lease losses decreased by $147.6 million in 2021 due primarily to a provision benefit for loan and lease losses of $149.5 million. The lower provision for loan and lease losses in 2021 was primarily a result of improvement in both macroeconomic forecast variables and loan portfolio credit quality metrics.
We actively participated in both rounds of the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), under the provisions of the CARES Act during 2020 and 2021, originating $1.65 billion of such loans. As of December 31, 2021, PPP loans totaled $156.7 million, net of deferred fees.The loans have two or five year terms, are fully guaranteed by the SBA, and do not carry an allowance.
A loan is considered collateral-dependent, and is individually evaluated for reserve purposes, when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The following table summarizes collateral-dependent loans held for investment by collateral type as of the following date:

NOTE 8. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
The unprecedented decline in economic conditions triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant decline in stock market valuations in March 2020, including our stock price. These triggering events indicated that goodwill related to our single reporting unit may be impaired and resulted in us performing a goodwill impairment assessment in the first quarter of 2020. We applied the market approach using an average share price of the Company's stock and a control premium to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The control premium was based upon management judgment using historical information of control premiums for completed bank acquisitions. As a result, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $1.47 billion in the first quarter of 2020 as the estimated fair value of equity was less than book value. This was a non-cash charge to earnings and had no impact on our regulatory capital ratios, cash flows, or liquidity position.
In performing our annual goodwill assessment in the fourth quarter of 2020, we considered relevant events and circumstances that may affect the fair value or carrying amount of our reporting unit. The events and circumstances we considered included macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, and our financial performance. Based on our qualitative assessment, we concluded that there were no conditions, changes in operations, or results that indicated a triggering event had occurred in the fourth quarter of 2020. Thus, a quantitative assessment was not required and we determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was greater than its carrying value and there was no evidence of impairment.
We have obligations under a numberperformed our annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth quarter of noncancelable operating leases for premises2021.

The Company invests as a limited partner in LIHTC partnerships that operate qualified affordable housing projects and generate tax benefits for investors, including federal low income housing tax credits. The partnerships are deemed to be VIEs because they do not have sufficient equity investment at risk and are structured with non-substantive voting rights; however, we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and do not consolidate them. We amortize the investment in proportion to the allocated tax benefits using the proportional amortization method of accounting and record such benefits net of investment amortization in income tax expense.
The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain employees and has also acquired life insurance policies through acquisitions. BOLI is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract, which is the cash surrender value. The increase in the cash surrender value each period and the receipt of death benefit proceeds in excess of the cash surrender value are recorded to "Noninterest income - other."
The Company's equity investments without readily determinable fair values include investments in privately held companies, and limited partnerships, as well as investments in entities from which we issued trust preferred securities. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-01securities, CRA-related loan pool investments, and ASU 2018-03 which changed the way we account forCRA-related equity investments. The CRA-related loan pool and equity investments without readily determinable fair values previously accounted for using the cost method. Upon adoption, we have electedprimarily consist of investments in partnerships which provide affordable housing and participations in loan pools which provide low-cost loans to low and moderate income applicants. We measure our equity investments without readily determinable fair values using the measurement alternative. The Company reclassified $1.2 million of equity securities without readily determinable fair values previously included in securities available-for-sale to other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet in the first quarter of 2018. The reclassification was applied prospectively without prior period amounts being restated. Carrying values of these investments are adjusted to fair value upon observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold a portion of one of our equity investments without a readily determinable fair value for an amount in excess of its basis, and consequently increased by $286,000 the remaining carrying value of this investment at December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded impairment of $278,000 in the aggregate on five of our CRA equity investments without readily determinable fair values.

NOTE 10. LEASES
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception by assessing whether there is an identified asset, and whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. ASC Topic 842 also requires a lessee to classify a lease as either finance or operating.
ROU assets represent a lessee's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We amortize the operating lease ROU assets and record interest expense on the operating lease liabilities over the lease terms.
Operating leases with a term of more than one year are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, which are reported in "Other assets" and "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Short-term leases (initial term of less than 12 months) are not recorded on the balance sheet and lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease from one to ten years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. Some of our leases also include termination options. We have determined that we do not meet the reasonably certain threshold to exercise any renewal or termination options, therefore our lease terms do not reflect any optional periods. We rent or sublease certain office space to third parties. Our subleases consist of operating leases for offices that we have fully or partially vacated.
Certain of our lease agreements also include rental payments that adjust periodically based on changes in the CPI. We initially measured our lease payments using the index at the lease commencement date. Subsequent increases in the CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. The ROU assets and lease liabilities are not re-measured as a result of changes in the CPI. Our lease agreements do not contain any purchase options, residual value guarantees, or restrictive covenants.

We provide equipment financing to our customers through operating leases where we facilitate the purchase of equipment leased to our customers. The equipment is shown on our consolidated balance sheets as "Equipment leased to others under operating leases" and is depreciated to its estimated residual value at the end of the lease term, shown as "Leased equipment depreciation" in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss), according to our fixed asset accounting policy. We receive periodic rental income payments under the leases, which are recorded as "Leased equipment income" in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss). The equipment is tested periodically for impairment. No impairment was recorded on "Equipment leased to others under operating leases" for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Company uses derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, primarily foreign currency risk and interest rate risk, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. Our derivatives are carried at fair value and recorded in "Other assets" or "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities," as appropriate, in the consolidated balance sheets. The changes in fair value of our derivatives and the related fees are recognized in "Noninterest income - other" in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss). For the year ended December 31, 2021, changes in fair value and fees recorded to noninterest income in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) were immaterial. See Note 9.

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off‑balanceoff-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement that the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Commitments to extend credit are contractual agreements to lend to our customers when customers are in compliance with their contractual credit agreements and when customers have contractual availability to borrow under such agreements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. We provide standby letters of credit in conjunction with someseveral of our lending arrangements and property lease obligations. Most guarantees expire within one year from the date of issuance. If a borrower defaults on its commitments subject to any letter of credit issued under these arrangements, we would be required to meet the borrower's financial obligation but would seek repayment of that financial obligation from the borrower. In some cases, borrowers have pledged cash and investment securities as collateral with us under these arrangements.
The following table presents the years in which commitments are expected to be paid for our commitments to contribute capital to these entities totaling $102.0 millionSBICs and $62.6 million. We also had commitments to contribute up to an additional $50,000 and $2.5 million to private equity funds at December 31, 2018 and 2017.CRA-related loan pools as of the date indicated:

Legal Matters
In the ordinary course of our business, we are party to various legal actions, which we believe are incidental to the operation of our business. The outcome of such legal actions and the timing of ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict. In the opinion of management, based upon information currently available to us, any resulting liability, in addition to amounts already accrued, and taking into consideration insurance which may be applicable, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial statements or operations.
The range of any reasonably possible liabilities is also not significant.

NOTE 13.15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value including a three‑level valuation hierarchy, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date reflecting assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. The hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as follows:
•Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
•Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in less active markets, or other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. This category generally includes municipal securities, agency residential CMOs, agency commercial and commercialresidential MBS, municipal securities, collateralized loan obligations, registered publicly rated private label CMOs, corporate debt securities, SBA securities, and asset-backed securitizations.
•Level 3: Inputs to a valuation methodology that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity, and significant to the fair value measurement. These valuation methodologies generally include pricing models, discounted cash flow models, or a determination of fair value that requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category also includes observable inputs from a pricing service not corroborated by observable market data, and includes our non-rated private label residential CMOs, non-rated private label asset-backed securities,commercial MBS, and equity warrants.
We use fair value to measure certain assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, primarily securities available‑for‑sale and derivatives. For assets measured at the lower of cost or fair value, the fair value measurement criteria may or may not be met during a reporting period and such measurements are therefore considered “nonrecurring” for purposes of disclosing our fair value measurements. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to adjust carrying values for impairedindividually evaluated loans and leases and other real estate owned and also to record impairment on certain assets, such as goodwill, CDI, and other long‑livedlong-lived assets.
The Company also holds SBIC investments measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient that are not required to be classified in the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of these investments was $46.9 million.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to measure our assets recorded at fair value (under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement”) and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value (under ASC Topic 825).
Cash and due from banks. The carrying amount is assumed to be the fair value because of the liquidity of these instruments.
Interest‑earning deposits in financial institutions. The carrying amount is assumed to be the fair value given the short‑term nature of these deposits.
Securities available‑for‑sale. Securities available‑for‑sale are measured and carried at fair value on a recurring basis. Unrealized gains and losses on available‑for‑sale securities are reported as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5. 4. Investment Securities for further information on unrealized gains and losses on securities available‑for‑sale.
Fair value for securities categorized as Level 1, which are publicly traded securities, are based on readily available quoted prices. In determining the fair value of the securities categorized as Level 2, we obtain a report from a nationally recognized broker‑dealer detailing the fair value of each investment security we hold as of each reporting date. The broker‑dealer uses observable market information to value our securities, with the primary source being a nationally recognized pricing service. We review the market prices provided by the broker‑dealer for our securities for reasonableness based on our understanding of the marketplace and we consider any credit issues related to the securities. As we have not made any adjustments to the market quotes provided to us and they are based on observable market data, they have been categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Our non-rated private label residential CMOs and non-rated private label asset-backed securitiescommercial MBS (collectively, “the Level 3 AFS Securities”) were categorized as Level 3 due in part to the inactive market for such securities. There is a wide range of prices quoted for our Level 3 AFS Securities among independent third party pricing services, and this range reflects the significant judgment being exercised over the assumptions and variables that determine the pricing of such securities. We consider this subjectivity relating to our Level 3 AFS Securities to be a significant unobservable input. Our fair value estimate was based on either 1) prices provided to us by a nationally recognized pricing service which we also use to determine the fair value of the majority of our securities portfolio, or 2) pricing estimates we obtained from brokers. We determined the reasonableness of the fair values by reviewing assumptions at the individual security level about prepayment, default expectations, estimated loss severity factors, and discount rates, all of which are not directly observable in the market. SignificantHad significant changes in default expectations, loss severity factors, or discount rates which occuroccurred all together or in isolation, it would resulthave resulted in different fair value measurements.measurements at December 31, 2021.
FHLB stock. Investments in FHLB stock are recorded at cost and measured for impairment quarterly. Ownership of FHLB stock is restricted to member banks and the securities do not have a readily determinable market value. Purchases and sales of these securities are at par value with the issuer. The fair value of investments in FHLB stock is equal to the carrying amount.
Loans and leases. As loans and leases are not measured at fair value, the following discussion relates to estimating the fair value disclosures under ASC Topic 825. Fair values are measured using the exit price and are estimated for portfolios of loans and leases with similar characteristics. Loans are segregated by type and further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest buckets by credit risk categories and by maturity dates. To determine the exit price of a loan or lease, the cash flows are estimated using a model which utilizes credit spreads and illiquidity premiums. The credit spread for a loan is determined by mapping loans' credit risk ratings to an equivalent corporate bond rating. Once the corporate bond rating is assigned, the credit spread is determined using corporate credit curves for corporate bonds that have a similar corporate bond rating and remaining term as the loan being valued. Illiquidity premiums are assigned to individual loans in a similar manner as an illiquidity premium amount is determined for each corporate bond rating. The credit spread above the appropriate rate curve and the illiquidity premium are considered to arrive at the discount rate curve applied to loan cash flows. The Community Bank group originates and purchases a number of similar, homogeneous loans. For this portfolio, management may make adjustments to the discount rate arrived at using the previously described methodology based upon the pricing for recent loan pool purchases and/or rates on recent originations.

Individually evaluated loans and leases. Nonaccrual loans and leases and performing troubled debt restructured loans are considered impaired for reporting purposes and are measured and recorded at fair value on a non‑recurring basis. ImpairedDefaulted loans and leases with outstanding balances over $250,000 are reviewed individually for the amount of impairment,expected credit loss, if any. Impairedany, and are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These defaulted loans and leases with outstanding balances less thanare excluded from the loan pools used within the collective evaluation of estimated credit losses.The criteria for default may include any one of the following: (1) on nonaccrual status, (2) modified under a TDR, (3) payment delinquency of 90 days or equalmore, (4) partial charge-off recognized, (5) risk rated doubtful or loss, or (6) reasonably expected to $250,000 may not be individually assessed for impairment but are assessed with reserves based on the average loss severity on historical impaired loans with similar risk characteristics.modified under a TDR.
To the extent a defaulted loan or lease is collateral dependent, we measure such impaired loanexpected credit loss based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. The fair value of each loan’s collateral is generally based on estimated market prices from an independently prepared appraisal, which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidating such collateral; such valuation inputs result in a nonrecurring fair value measurement that is categorized as a Level 2 measurement. The Level 2 measurement is based on appraisals obtained within the last 12 months and for which a charge‑off was recognized or a change in the specific valuation allowance was made during the year ended December 31, 2018.2021.
When adjustments are made to an appraised value to reflect various factors such as the age of the appraisal or known changes in the market or the collateral, such valuation inputs are considered unobservable and the fair value measurement is categorized as a Level 3 measurement. The impairedindividually evaluated loans and leases categorized as Level 3 also include unsecured loans and other secured loans whose fair values are based significantly on unobservable inputs such as the strength of a guarantor, including an SBA government guarantee, cash flows discounted at the effective loan rate, and management’s judgment.
The impairedindividually evaluated loan and lease balances shown above as measured on a non-recurring basis represent those nonaccrualdefaulted loans and restructured loansleases for which impairmentexpected credit loss was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2018.2021. The amounts shown as net losses include the impairmentexpected credit loss recognized during the year ended December 31, 2018,2021, for the loan and lease balances shown.
OREO. The fair value of OREO is generally based on the lower of estimated market prices from independently prepared current appraisals or negotiated sales prices with potential buyers, less estimated costs to sell; such valuation inputs result in a fair value measurement that is categorized as a Level 2 measurement on a nonrecurring basis. As a matter of policy, appraisals are required annually and may be updated more frequently as circumstances require in the opinion of management. The Level 2 measurement for OREO is based on appraisals obtained within the last 12 months and for which a write‑down was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2018.2021.
When a current appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value as a result of known changes in the market or the collateral and there is no observable market price, such valuation inputs result in a fair value measurement that is categorized as a Level 3 measurement. To the extent a negotiated sales price or reduced listing price represents a significant discount to an observable market price, such valuation input would result in a fair value measurement that is also considered a Level 3 measurement. The OREO losses disclosed are write‑downs based on either a recent appraisal obtained after foreclosure or an accepted purchase offer by an independent third party received after foreclosure.
Equity warrants. Equity warrants with net settlement terms are received in connection with extending loan commitments to certain of our customers. We estimate the fair value of equity warrants using a Black-Scholes option pricing model to approximate fair market value. For warrants of private companies, the model estimates market value for each warrant based on the most recent equity offering at the time of issuance, the warrant's exercise price, the warrant's expected life, a risk-free interest rate based on a duration-matched U.S. Treasury rate and volatility factors derived from the iShares Russell Microcap index (IWC). For warrants of publicly-traded companies, the model estimates market value for each warrant based on the underlying share price as of the evaluation date, the warrant's exercise price, the warrant's expected life, a risk-free interest rate based on a duration-matched U.S. Treasury rate and uses a company-specific volatility factor. We typically classify our equity warrant derivatives in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Equity investments with readily determinable fair values. Our equity investments with readily determinable fair values include investments in public companies and publicly-traded mutual funds. Equity investments with readily determinable fair values are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in “Noninterest income - other.” During the first quarter of 2018, the Company reclassified $5.9 million of equity securities with readily determinable fair values previously included in securities available-for-sale to other assets on our consolidated balance sheet. The reclassification was applied prospectively without prior period amounts being restated. Fair value measurements related to these investments are typically classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Deposits. Deposits are carried at historical cost. The fair values of deposits with no stated maturity, such as core deposits (defined as noninterest‑bearing demand, interest checking, money market, and savings accounts) and non-core non-maturity deposits, are equal to the amount payable on demand as of the balance sheet date and considered Level 2. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows and considered Level 2. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. No value has been separately assigned to the Company’s long‑term relationships with its deposit customers, such as a core deposit intangible.

Borrowings. Borrowings include overnight FHLB advances and other fixed‑rate term borrowings. Borrowings are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of overnight FHLB advances is equal to the carrying value and considered Level 1. The fair value of fixed‑rate borrowings is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the maturity dates or call dates, if applicable, using estimated market discount rates that reflect current rates offered for borrowings with similar remaining maturities and characteristics and are considered Level 2.
Subordinated debentures. debt. Subordinated debentures aredebt is carried at amortized cost. The fair value of subordinated debentures with variable ratesdebt is determined using a market discount rate on the expected cash flows and areis considered Level 2.
Derivative assets and liabilities. Derivatives are carried at fair value on a recurring basis and primarily relate to forward exchange contracts which we enter into to manage foreign exchange risk. Our derivatives are principally traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. Instead, the fair value of derivatives is estimated using market observable inputs such as foreign exchange forward rates, interest rate yield curves, volatilities and basis spreads. We also consider counter-party credit risk in valuing our derivatives. We typically classify our foreign exchange derivatives in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Commitments to extend credit. The majority of our commitments to extend credit carry current market interest rates if converted to loans. Because these commitments are generally not assignable by either the borrower or us, they only have value to the borrower and us. The estimated fair value approximates the recorded deferred fee amounts and is excluded from the table above because it is not material.
Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect income taxes or any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on what management believes to be conservativereasonable judgments regarding expected future cash flows, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimated fair values are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Since the fair values have been estimated as of December 31, 2018,2021, the amounts that will actually be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the instruments could be significantly different.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company had net income taxes receivable of $36.3 million and $59.3 million at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 20182021 and 2017,2020, the Company had a valuation allowance of $78.4$24.9 million and $94.1$41.1 million against DTAs. Periodic reviews of the carrying amount of DTAs are made to determine if a valuation allowance is necessary. A valuation allowance is required, based on available evidence, when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a DTA will not be realized due to the inability to generate sufficient taxable income in the period and/or of the character necessary to utilize the benefit of the DTA. All available evidence, both positive and negative, that may affect the realizability of the DTA is identified and considered in determining the appropriate amount of the valuation allowance. It is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets subject to a valuation allowance will not be realized primarily due to their character and/or the expiration of the carryforward periods.
The net reduction in the total valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 20182021 was $15.7$16.2 million. Of this amount, $11.6$14.3 million consistedconsisted principally of adjustments to state net operating loss DTAs. The adjustment to the state operating loss DTAs for tax attributes that expiredat December 31, 2021, was a result of changes in 2018.state apportionments. The DTAs had been subjected to a full valuation allowance because the Company had previously determined that they were more likely than not to not be utilized.expired unused. As a result, the expiration ofchange in the tax attributes supporting the $11.6the $14.3 million of deferred tax assets had no impact on the Company's effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2018.2021. The remaining $4.1$1.9 million reduction in the valuation allowance was primarily due to an increase in the amount of foreign tax credit and capital loss carryforwards that were determined to be more likely than notexpected to be utilized priorprior to expiration.expiration and adjustments to capital deferred tax assets.

Due to the potential for the resolution of federal and state examinations and the expiration of various statutes of limitations, it is reasonably possible that our gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease within the next twelve months by as much as $5.3$2.1 million.

For the yearyears ended December 31, 2018, we recognized $0.2 million in expense for interest expense2021 and penalties. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we recognized $0.2 million in expense related to these items.

NOTE 16.18. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
In certain cases, other parties are involved with providing products and services to our customers. If the Company is a principal in the transaction (providing goods or services itself), revenues are reported based on the gross consideration received from the customer and any related expenses are reported gross in noninterest expense. If the Company is an agent in the transaction (arranging for another party to provide goods or services), the Company reports its net fee or commission retained as revenue. Rebates, waivers, and reversals are recorded as a reduction of revenue either when the revenue is recognized by the Company or at the time the rebate, waiver, or reversal is earned by the customer.
The Company has elected the following practical expedients: (1) we do not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less; and (2) we do not adjust the consideration from customers for the effects of a significant financing component if at contract inception the period between when the Company transfers the goods or services and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
Nature of Goods and Services
Substantially all of the Company's revenue, such as interest income on loans, investment securities, and interest-earning deposits in financial institutions, is specifically out-of-scope of ASC Topic 606. For the revenue that is in-scope, the following is a description of principal activities, separated by the timing of revenue recognition, from which the Company generates its revenue from contracts with customers:
•Revenue earned at a point in time.Examples of revenue earned at a point in time are ATM transaction fees, wire transfer fees, NSF fees, and credit and debit card interchange fees. Revenue is generally derived from transactional information accumulated by our systems and is recognized as revenue immediately as the transactions occur or upon providing the service to complete the customer's transaction. The Company is the principal in each of these contracts with the exception of credit and debit card interchange fees, in which case the Company is acting as the agent and records revenue net of expenses paid to the principal.
•Revenue earned over time.The Company earns certain revenue from contracts with customers monthly. Examples of this type of revenue are deposit account service fees, investment management fees, merchant referral services, MasterCard marketing incentives, and safe deposit box fees. Account service charges, management fees, and referral fees are recognized on a monthly basis while any transaction-based revenue is recorded as the activity occurs. Revenue is primarily based on the number and type of transactions and is generally derived from transactional information accumulated by our systems. Revenue is recorded in the same period as the related transactions occur or services are rendered to the customer.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
At December 31, 2018,2021, there were 325,741were 512,863 units of unvested PRSUs that have been granted. The PRSUs will vest only if performance goals with respect to certain financial metrics are met over a three-year performance period. The PRSUs are not considered issued and outstanding until they vest. PRSUs are granted and initially expensed based on a target number. The number of shares that will ultimately vest based on actual performance will range from zero to a maximum of either 150% or 200% of target.
Compensation expense related to PRSUs is based on the fair value of the underlying stock on the award date and is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method unless it is determined that: (1) attainment of the financial metrics is less than probable, in which case a portion of the amortization is suspended, or (2) attainment of the financial metrics is improbable, in which case a portion of the previously recognized amortization is reversed and also suspended. If it is determined that attainment of a financial measure higher than target is probable, the amortization will increase up to 150% or 200% of the target amortization amount. Annual PRSU expense may vary during the three-year performance period based upon changes in management's estimate of the number of shares that may ultimately vest. In the case where the performance target for the PRSU’s is based on a market condition (such as total shareholder return), the amortization is neither reversed nor suspended if it is subsequently determined that the attainment of the performance target is less than probable or improbable.improbable and the employee continues to meet the service requirement of the award.
Upon a change in control, each PRSU will (i) be deemed earned at the target level with respect to all open performance periods if the change in control occurs within six months after the grant date, and (ii) be deemed earned at the actual performance level as of the date of the change in control if a change in control occurs more than six months after the grant date, and in both cases, the PRSU will cease to be subject to any further performance conditions, but will be subject to time-based service vesting following the change in control in accordance with the original performance period.
The weighted average grant date fair value per share of PRSUs granted during 2018, 2017,2021, 2020, and 20162019 was $57.52, $57.80$32.19, $36.20 and $27.32. There were no$40.39.

NOTE 20.22. DIVIDEND AVAILABILITY AND REGULATORY MATTERS
Holders of Company common stock may receive dividends declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available under DGCL and certain federal laws and regulations governing the banking and financial services business. Our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders is subject to the restrictions set forth in DGCL and certain covenants contained in our subordinated debenturesdebt and borrowing agreements. Notification to the FRB is also required prior to our declaring and paying dividends during any period in which our quarterly and/or cumulative twelve‑month net earnings are insufficient to fund the dividend amount, among other requirements. Should the FRB object to payment of dividends, we would not be able to make the payment until approval is received or we no longer need to provide notice under applicable regulations.
It is possible, depending upon the financial condition of the Bank and other factors, that the FRB, the FDIC, or the DBO,DFPI, could assert that payment of dividends or other payments is an unsafe or unsound practice. The Bank is subject to restrictions under certain federal and state laws and regulations governing banks which limit its ability to transfer funds to the holding company through intercompany loans, advances or cash dividends. Dividends paid by California state-chartered banks such as Pacific Western are regulated by the DBODFPI and FDIC under their general supervisory authority as it relates to a bank’s capital requirements. The Bank may declare a dividend without the approval of the DBODFPI and FDIC as long as the total dividends declared in a calendar year do not exceed either the retained earnings or the total of net earnings for the three previous fiscal years less any dividend paid during such period. DividendsThe Bank had a cumulative net loss of $155.3 million during the three fiscal years of 2021, 2020, and 2019, compared to dividends of $776.0 million paid by the Bank during the previous three fiscal years exceeded the Bank's net earnings during that same period by $28.5 million.period. During 2018,2021, PacWest received $684.0$182.0 million in dividends from the Bank. Since the Bank had an accumulated deficit of $643.9 million$1.5 billion at December 31, 2018,2021, for the foreseeable future, dividends from the Bank to PacWest will continue to require DBODFPI and FDIC approval.
PacWest, as a bank holding company, is subject to regulation by the FRB under the BHCA. The FDICIA required that the federal regulatory agencies adopt regulations defining capital tiers for banks: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off‑balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total capital to risk‑weighted assets ("total capital ratio"), and of Tier I capital to average assets, adjusted for goodwill and other non-qualifying intangible assets and other assets (“leverage ratio”). Common equity Tier 1 capital includes common stockholders’ equity less goodwill and certain other deductions (including a portion of servicing assets and the after‑tax unrealized net gains and losses on securities available‑for‑sale). Tier 1 capital includes common equity Tier 1 plus additional Tier 1 capital instruments meeting certain requirements. Total capital includes Tier 1 capital and other items such as subordinated debt and the allowance for credit losses. All three measures are stated as a percentage of risk‑weighted assets, which are measured based on their perceived credit risk and include certain off‑balance sheet exposures, such as unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit.
Regulatory capital requirements limit the amount of deferred tax assets that may be included when determining the amount of regulatory capital. Deferred tax asset amounts in excess of the calculated limit are disallowed from regulatory capital. At December 31, 2018,2021, such disallowed amounts were $489,000$10,000 for the Company and $39,000$41.0 million for the Bank. No assurance can be given that the regulatory capital deferred tax asset limitation will not increase in the future or that the Company or Bank will not have increased deferred tax assets that are disallowed.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Banks considered to be “adequately capitalized” are required to maintain a minimum total capital ratio of 8.0%, a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%, a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%, and a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. Banks considered to be “well capitalized” must maintain a minimum total capital ratio of 10.0%, a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.0%, a minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5%, and a minimum leverage ratio of 5.0%. As of December 31, 2018,2021, the most recent notification date to the regulatory agencies, the Company and the Bank are each “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Company’s or any of the Bank’s categories.
Management believes, as of December 31, 2018,2021, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject.
Basel III, the comprehensive regulatory capital rules for U.S. banking organizations, requires all banking organizations to maintain a capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, stock repurchases and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The capital conservation buffer is exclusively comprised of common equity tierTier 1 capital, and it applies to each of the three risk-based capital ratios but not to the leverage ratio. Effective January 1, 2019, the capital conservation buffer is fully phased-in at 2.5%, such that the common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and total capital ratio minimums inclusive of the capital conservation buffers were 7%, 8.5%, and 10.5%. At December 31, 2018,2021, the Company and Bank were in compliance with the capital conservation buffer requirement. Effective January 1, 2019,requirements.
The Company and Bank elected the CECL 5-year regulatory transition guidance for calculating regulatory capital conservation buffer increased by 0.625%ratios and the December 31, 2021 ratios include this election. This guidance allows an entity to its fully phased-in 2.5%, such that the common equity tier 1, tier 1 and totaladd back to capital ratio minimums inclusive100% of the capital conservation buffer were 7.0%, 8.5%,impact from the day one CECL transition adjustment and 10.5%.25% of subsequent increases to the allowance for credit losses through December 31, 2022. This cumulative amount will then be phased out of regulatory capital over the next three years.
