payables, corporate debt and other borrowings. Net interest income is also earned on our legacy mortgage and consumer loan portfolio which we expect to continue to run off in future periods.
Commissions revenue is generated by customer trades and is largely impacted by trade volume, trade type, and commission rates.
Fees and service charges revenue is mainly impacted by order flow revenue, fees earned on off-balance sheet customer cash and other assets, and advisor management and custody fees, and mutual fund service fees.
Our net revenue is offset by non-interest expenses, the largest of which are compensation and benefits and advertising and market development.

Regulatory Developments
In April 2016, the U.S.US Department of Labor (DOL) published its final fiduciaryConflicts of Interest RuleRetirement Investment Advice regulations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Certain aspects of these regulations began to take effect in June 2017. These regulations1986 (Fiduciary Rule). The Fiduciary Rule generally subjectsubjects particular persons, such as broker-dealers and other financial advisersadvisors providing investment advice to individual retirement accounts and other qualified retirement plans and accounts, to fiduciary duties and additional regulatory restrictions for a wider range of customer interactions. On March 5, 2018, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision vacating the Fiduciary Rule in its entirety, and on June 21, 2018, following expiration of the appeals period for the decision and resolution of certain motions for appeal and intervention, issued a mandate making the decision effective.
In May 2018, the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act of 2018 (EGRRCPA) was passed. The remaining aspects of these regulations are currently scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2018. During this transition period, the Department of Labor indicated in Field Assistance Bulletin 2017-02 issued in May 2017, that it will not take enforcement actions against impacted parties that are in reasonable compliance with the regulations. The Company isEGRRCPA amended provisions in the processDodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of implementing2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) as well as other statutes administered by the remaining applicable components for compliance.
The Company has historically not been subject to certain regulatory requirements that apply to banking organizations with $50 billion or more in total consolidated assets as defined by each applicable regulation. Total consolidated assets of $50 billion, which is measured in accordance with each applicable regulation, but generally onFederal Reserve Board, the basisOffice of the averageComptroller of the four most recent quarters, isCurrency, and the FDIC (collectively, the “federal banking agencies”). In July 2018, the federal banking agencies issued a meaningful regulatory thresholdjoint release clarifying that as U.S. banking organizations become subject to a numberresult of additionalthe passage of EGRRCPA, certain requirements, including company-run stress testing requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act, would no longer be required for savings and in some cases, more stringent regulatory requirements once they reach that size. The Company surpassed $50loan holding companies and banks with less than $100 billion in total consolidated assets, on a four quarter average in the first quarter of 2017.
The Company expects these regulatory requirements, not all of which have been finalized, to start becoming applicable to it in 2018. The Company has begun implementing policies, procedures, systems and governance structures that are designed to comply with the requirements. Additionally, while savings and loan holding companies are currently excluded from the scope of certain regulations that apply to bank holding companies,such as the Company expectsand E*TRADE Bank. In addition the Federal Reserve Board issued a separate statement clarifying that, pursuant to EGRRCPA, it will ultimately be subjectnot take action to these requirements.

The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was primarily due to higher deposits as a result of transferring customer cash held by third parties to our balance sheet.

and higher securities lending activities, partially offset by the continued run-off of our higher yielding legacy mortgage and consumer loan portfolio. Additionally, funding costs increased primarily due to increased rates paid on deposits and customer payables during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. These increases were partially offset by lower corporate debt service costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Commissions
Commissions revenue decreased 7%increased 17% to $100$117 million and increased 4%13% to $332$375 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016.2017. The mainprimary factors that affect commissions revenue are DARTs, average commission per trade and the number of trading days.
DARTs volume increased 35%29% to 205,763266,290 and 32%34% to 207,065277,796 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016,2017. The increase during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was mainly driven by continued improved market sentiment along with the inclusion of OptionsHouse accounts and the strengthhigher volatility of the equity markets.

Average commission per trade is impacted by customertrade mix and differing commission rates on various trade types (e.g. equities, derivatives, stock plan and mutual funds). Average commission per trade for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172018 was also impacted by reduced commission rates implemented in March 2017 as well as the lower price structure for customer accounts associated with the OptionsHouse acquisition. We have also experienced increased trading activity from certaincontinued migration of customers qualifying them forto lower commission rates due to our new active trader pricing. This increased engagement is a key driver behind the decrease in average commission per trade.pricing.

Fees and service charges increased 17% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, to $108 million and $323 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2017. These increases were primarily driven by increased order flow revenue due to higher trade volume and improved rates as well as increased advisor management and custody fees as a result of the acquisition of TCA and higher balances held in our managed products. This increase was partially offset by decreased money market funds and sweep deposits revenue driven by lower customer cash balances held by third parties as a result of transferring cash onto our balance sheet. The impact of the lower balances was partially offset by a higher yield of approximately 145 and 140 basis points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to approximately 120 and 85 basis points for the same periods in 2016. In addition, fees and service charges benefited from increased order flow revenue resulting primarily from higher options trading activity and improved rates.2017.

Provision (Benefit) for Loan Losses
We recognized a benefit for loan losses of $29$34 million and $142$74 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, respectively, compared to a benefit of $62$29 million and $131$142 million for the same periods in 2016.2017. The timing and magnitude of the provision (benefit) for loan losses is affected by many factors that could result in variability. These benefits reflected better than expected performance of our portfolio as well as recoveries in excess of prior estimates,expectations, including sales of charged-off loans and recoveries of previous charge-offs. The benefit for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 also reflected approximately $70 million of benefit recognizedcharge-offs that were not included in the second quarter of 2017 resulting from refined default assumptions based on the sustained outperformance of converted mortgage loans that had been amortizing for 12 months or longer.our loss estimates. For additional information on management's estimate of the allowance for loan losses, see Concentrations of Credit Risk and Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesNote 7—Loans Receivable, Net.

We expect the remaining legacy mortgage and consumer loan portfolio to continue its run-off for the foreseeable future. As our portfolio has seasoned and substantially all interest-only loans have converted to amortizing, we continue to assess underlying performance, the economic environment, and the value of the portfolio in the marketplace. While it is our intention to hold these loans, if the markets improve or our assessment changes, our strategy could change. For additional information on management's estimate of the allowance for loan losses, see Concentrations of Credit Risk and Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesNote 7—Loans Receivable, Net.
In the third quarter of 2017 we introduced a securities-based lending product, where customers can borrow up to 50% of the market value of securities pledged as collateral. Activity for these loans is reflected as consumer and other within loans receivable, net and related disclosures.

SeeMD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information on liquidity and funding sources at E*TRADE Bank.and Note 10—Other Borrowings for additional information on the redemption of TRUPs.
Corporate Debt
Corporate debt increased 42% to $1.4 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as we issued Senior Notes in June 2018 and used the net proceeds from the issuance to redeem our TRUPs. See Note 11—Corporate Debt and Note 15—Commitments, Contingencies and Other Regulatory Matters.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have established liquidity and capital policies to support the successful execution of our business strategy, while maintaining ongoing and sufficient liquidity through the business cycle. We believe liquidity is of critical importance to the Company and especially important for E*TRADE Bank and our broker-dealer subsidiaries.E*TRADE Securities. The objective of our policies is to ensure that we can meet our corporate, banking and broker-dealer liquidity needs under both normal operating conditions and under periods of stress in the financial markets.
Liquidity
Our corporate liquidity needs are primarily driven by capital needs at E*TRADE Bank and E*TRADE Securities as well as by the principal and interest due on our corporate debt and the amount of dividend payments on our preferred stock and common stock. Our banking and brokerage subsidiaries' liquidity needs are driven primarily by the level and volatility of our customer activity. Management maintains a set of liquidity sources and monitors certain business trends and market metrics closely in an effort to ensure we have sufficient liquidity. Potential loans by E*TRADE Bank to the parent company and itsthe parent company's other non-bank subsidiaries are subject to various quantitative, arm’s length, collateralization, capital and other requirements. The Company expects to use existing cash during the fourth quarter of 2018 to fund the acquisition of approximately one million retail brokerage accounts from Capital One.
The Company became subject to the modified LCR requirement beginning April 1, 2018 which required the Company to hold at least 70% of its projected net cash outflows over a 30-day period in high-quality liquid assets. In July 2018, the Federal Reserve Board clarified that, pursuant to EGRRCPA, certain regulatory and reporting requirements, including the modified LCR would no longer apply to firms, like the Company, with less than $100 billion in total consolidated assets.


E*TRADE Q3 2018 10-Q | Page 29


Parent Company Liquidity
The parent company's primary source of liquidity is corporate cash. Corporate cash, a non-GAAP measure, is a component of cash and equivalents; see the consolidated statement of cash flows within Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) for information on cash and equivalents activity. We define corporate cash as cash held at the parent company and subsidiaries, excluding bank, broker-dealer, and futures commission merchant (FCM)FCM subsidiaries that require regulatory approval or notification prior to the payment of certain dividends to the parent company. Corporate cash includes the parent company's deposits placed with E*TRADE Bank. E*TRADE Bank may use these deposits for investment purposes; however, these investments are not included in consolidated cash and equivalents.
We believe corporate cash is a useful measure of the parent company’s liquidity as it is the primary source of capital above and beyond the capital deployed in our regulated subsidiaries. Corporate cash can fluctuate in any given quarter and is impacted primarily by the following:
Dividends from and investments in subsidiaries
Non-cumulative preferred stock dividends
Common stock dividends
Share repurchases
Debt activity, including issuances, paydowns and debt service costs
Acquisitions and other investments
Tax payments and the reimbursementReimbursements from the parent company's subsidiaries for the use of itsthe parent company's deferred tax assets
OtherParent company overhead and expenseless reimbursements through cost sharing arrangements with subsidiaries

DuringCorporate cash decreased $24 million to $517 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we2018 primarily due to the following:
$360 million and $363 million received in net dividends from E*TRADE Securities and E*TRADE Bank, respectively
$384 million received from corporate debt activity which includes $417 million in net debt issuance proceeds partially offset by $33 million in debt service costs
$638 million used $76for share repurchases
$429 million in investments in subsidiaries which includes the $413 million payment to redeem the TRUPs
$102 million used primarily for parent company overhead less reimbursements from subsidiaries under cost sharing arrangements
Corporate cash is monitored as part of our liquidity risk management and our current corporate cash target is $300 million. This target covers approximately 18 months of parent company fixed costs, which includes preferred stock dividends, debt service and other overhead costs. The Company maintains $300 million of corporate cash along with the net proceeds from the issuance of $1 billion of senior notes, to redeem our higher cost corporate debt, and to pay the associated redemption premiums, accrued and unpaid interest and related fees and expenses. This transaction decreased our annual corporate debt service costs from $50 million to $33 million. We maintain corporate cash at a minimum of two times our scheduled annual corporate debt service payments and scheduled maturities over the next 12 months. As we do not have any scheduled maturities of corporate debt in the coming year, our current minimum under this methodology is approximately $66 million; however, we are currently targeting $200 million in corporate cash for future periods. Our nearest maturity of interest-bearing corporate debt is August 2022.
On June 23, 2017, we entered intoadditional liquidity through an unsecured committed revolving credit facility with certain lenders, which replaced our previous secured committed revolving credit facility entered into in November 2014 and increased our total borrowing capacity under the facility to $300 million.facility. The Companyparent has the ability to borrow against the credit facility for working capital and general corporate purposes. The unsecured committed revolving credit facility will mature on June 23, 2020. At September 30, 2017,2018, there was no outstanding balance under this revolving credit facility.
On October 19, 2017, we announced an agreement to acquire TCA For additional information about our liquidity risk management approach see Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of ourAnnual ReportonForm 10-K for $275 million in cash. We anticipate funding the transaction through the issuance of non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock. Based on this structure, we do not expect the acquisition to impact our ability to maintain a 6.5% Tier 1 leverage ratio.year endedDecember 31, 2017.
E*TRADE Bank Liquidity
E*TRADE Bank, including its subsidiary E*TRADE Savings Bank, relies on bank cash and deposits for liquidity needs. Management believes that within deposits, sweep deposits are of particular importance as they are a stable source of liquidity for E*TRADE Bank. We haveThe vast majority of E*TRADE Bank's liquidity is invested in securities backed by the ability to generate liquidity in the form of additional deposits by raising the yield on our customer deposit products and by bringing additional deposits onto our balance sheet. Sweep deposits on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 increased $10.1 billion compared to December 31, 2016. We utilize our sweep deposit platform to efficiently manage our balance sheet size.US government or its agencies, representing highly liquid securities with low credit risk.
We may also utilize wholesale funding sources for short-term liquidity and contingency funding requirements. Our ability to borrow these funds is dependent upon the continued availability of funding in the wholesale borrowings market. In addition, we can borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond's discount window to meet short-term liquidity requirements, although it is not viewed as a primary source of funding. At September 30, 2017,2018, E*TRADE Bank had approximately $5.1$6.7 billion and $0.9$1.0 billion in additional collateralized borrowing capacity with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, respectively.
E*TRADE Securities Liquidity
E*TRADE Securities relies on customer payables, securities lending, and internal and external lines of credit to provide liquidity and to fund margin lending. At September 30, 2017,2018, E*TRADE Securities' external liquidity lines totaled approximately $1.1$1.3 billion and included the following:
A 364-day, $450$600 million senior unsecured committed revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks, with a maturity date ofin June 2018 and a commitment fee of 0.35% on unused balances2019

Liquidity Coverage RatioCapital Resources
As a resultThe Company seeks to manage capital levels in support of our business strategy of generating and effectively deploying capital for the benefit of our shareholders, governed by the Company's balance sheet growth, we will be subject to the modified liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) requirement beginning April 1, 2018. The purpose of the LCR is to require banking organizations to hold minimum amounts of high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) basedrisk management framework. For additional information on a percentage of their net cash outflows over a 30-day period. Bankour bank and savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more, based on the average of the four most recent quarters, are subject to a modified LCR requiring them to hold HQLA in an amount equal to at least 70% of their projected net cash outflows over a 30-day period. The Company believes the LCR is an important measure of liquidity and has been managing against it in preparation for the applicability of these requirements. In addition, beginning October 1, 2018, we will be required to disclose certain quantitative and qualitative information related to our LCR calculation after each calendar quarter.

Our broker-dealer and FCM subsidiaries are subject to capital requirements determined by their respective regulators. At September 30, 2017,2018, these subsidiaries met their minimum net capital requirements. We continue to assess our ability to distribute excess net capital to the parent while maintaining adequate capital at the broker-dealer and FCM subsidiaries. E*TRADE Securities paid dividends of $220 million to the parent company during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. For additional information on our broker-dealer and FCM capital requirements, see Note 13—14—Regulatory Requirements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We enter into various off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business, primarily to meet the needs of our customers and to reduce our own exposure to interest rate risk. These arrangements include firm commitments to extend credit. Additionally, we enter into guarantees and other similar arrangements as part of transactions in the ordinary course of business. For additional information on these arrangements, see Note 14—15—Commitments, Contingencies and Other Regulatory Matters.



E*TRADE | Q3 2017 10-Q    30RISK MANAGEMENT



RISK MANAGEMENT
The identification, mitigation and management of existing and potential risks is critical to effective enterprise risk management. There are certain risks inherent to our industry (e.g. execution of transactions) and certain risks that will surface through the conduct of our business operations. We seek to monitor and manage our significant risk exposures by operating under a set of Board-approved limits and by monitoring certain risk indicators. Our governance framework is designed to comply with applicable requirements and requires regular reporting on metrics and significant risks and exposures to senior management and the Board of Directors.
We face the following key types of risks: credit, interest rate, liquidity, market, operational, information security,technology, data, strategic, reputational, legal, as well as regulatory and compliance. We have a Board-approved Enterprise Risk Appetite Statement (RAS) that is provided to all employees. The RAS specifies significant risk exposures and addresses the Company's tolerance of those risks, which are described in further detail within Part II. Item 7. Management’sManagement's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.
In August 2017, the RAS was updated and approved by the Board to include Data Management Risk—the risk of impairment to or loss of data assets through ineffective governance over the creation, usage, quality, inventory, storage, security and disposal of data assets.
We are also subject to other risks that could impactaffect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in future periods. SeeFor additional information see Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from the inability or failure of a borrower or counterparty to meet its credit obligations. Our mortgage loan portfolio represents our most significant credit risk exposure. See Part II. Item 7. Management’sManagement's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 for additional information on our management of credit risk.
One- to Four-Family Interest-Only Loans
One- to four-family loans include loans with a five to ten year interest-only period, followed by an amortizing period ranging from 20 to 25 years. At September 30, 2017, over 99%2018, nearly 100% of thethese loans were amortizing and the portfolio will be fully converted in 2018.amortizing.


E*TRADE Q3 2018 10-Q | Page 36


Home Equity Loans
The home equity loan portfolio consists of home equity installment loans (HEILs) and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) and is primarily second lien loans on residential real estate properties that have a higher level of credit risk than first lien mortgage loans. HEILs are primarily fixed rate and fixed term, fully amortizing loans that do not offer the option of an interest-only payment. The majority of HELOCs had an interest onlyinterest-only draw period at origination and converted to amortizing loans at the end of the draw period, which typically ranged from five to ten years. At September 30, 2017, 1%2018, nearly 100% of the HELOC portfolio had not converted from the interest-only draw period and will be fully converted in 2019.



E*TRADE | Q3 2017 10-Q    31



Nonperforming Assets
We classify loans as nonperforming when they are no longer accruing interest, which includes loans that are 90 days and greater past due, TDRs that are on nonaccrual status for all classes of loans (including loans in bankruptcy) and certain junior liens that have a delinquent senior lien. The following table shows comparative data for nonperforming loans and assets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (dollars in millions):

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date, as well as the forecasted losses, including economic concessions to borrowers, over the estimated remaining life of loans modified as TDRs. The general allowance for loan losses includes a qualitative component to account for a variety of factors that present additional uncertainty that may not be fully considered in the quantitative loss model but are factors we believe may impact the level of credit losses.

Securities
We focus primarily on security type and credit rating to monitor credit risk in our securities portfolios. We consider securities backed by the U.S.US government or its agencies to have low credit risk as the long-term debt rating of the U.S.US government is AA+ by S&P and AAAAaa by Moody’s and Fitch at September 30, 2017.2018. The amortized cost of these securities accounted for over 99% of our total securities portfolio at September 30, 2017.2018. We review the remaining debt securities that were not backed by the U.S.US government or its agencies according to their credit ratings from S&P Moody’s and FitchMoody’s where available. At September 30, 2017,2018, all municipal bonds in our securities portfolio were rated investment grade (defined as a rating equivalent to a Moody’s rating of "Baa3" or higher, or an S&P or Fitch rating of "BBB-"“BBB-“ or higher).

SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with GAAP.accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Note 1—Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Part II. Item 8.8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, contains a summary of our significant accounting policies, many of which require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the periods presented. We believe that, of our significant accounting policies, the following are critical because they are based on estimates and assumptions that require complex and subjective judgments by management: allowance for loan losses;losses, valuation and impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets;assets and estimates of effective tax rates, deferred taxes and valuation allowance. Changes in these estimates or assumptions could materially impact our financial condition and results of operations, and actual results could differ from our estimates. With respect to the allowance for loan losses, we refined our default assumptions during the second quarter of 2017 based on the sustained outperformance of loans that reached the end of their interest-only period. Our remaining critical accounting policies are more fully described in Part II. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsOperations—Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Description
The allowance for loan losses is management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. In determining the adequacy of the allowance, we perform ongoing evaluations of the loan portfolio and loss forecasting assumptions. As of September 30, 2017, the allowance for loan losses was $94 million on $2.9 billion of total gross loans receivable designated as held-for-investment.
Judgments
Determining the adequacy of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance for loan losses in future periods. For loans that are not TDRs, we establish a general allowance and evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses by loan portfolio segment: one- to four-family, home equity and consumer. For modified loans accounted for as TDRs that are valued using the discounted cash flow model, we establish a specific allowance by forecasting losses, including economic concessions to borrowers, over the estimated remaining life of these loans.



E*TRADE | Q3 2017 10-Q    34

E*TRADE Q3 2018 10-Q | Page 37
 
                    


The estimate of the allowance for loan losses continues to be based on a variety of quantitative and qualitative factors, including:
The composition and quality of the portfolio
Delinquency levels and trends
Current and historical charge-off and loss experience
Our historical loss mitigation experience
The condition of the real estate market and geographic concentrations within the loan portfolio
The interest rate climate
The overall availability of housing credit
General economic conditions, including the impact of weather-related events
Total loans receivable designated as held-for-investment decreased $0.7 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The allowance for loan losses was $94 million, or 3.2% of total loans receivable, as of September 30, 2017 compared to $221 million, or 5.8% of total loans receivable, as of December 31, 2016. The benefit for loan losses was $29 million and $142 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

The allowance for loan losses is typically equal to management’s forecast of loan losses in the 18 months following the balance sheet date as well as the forecasted losses, including economic concessions to borrowers, over the estimated remaining life of loans modified as TDRs. The quantitative allowance methodology also includes the identification of higher risk mortgage loans and the period of loan losses captured within the general allowance includes the total probable loss over the remaining life of these loans. As mortgage loan conversions from interest-only to amortizing have continued, 99% of HELOCs and over 99% of one- to four-family mortgages had converted at September 30, 2017.
During the second quarter of 2017, management refined the default assumptions in the quantitative allowance methodology based on the sustained outperformance of converted mortgage loans that had been amortizing for 12 months or longer. At the time of this refinement, more than 50% of these converted loans had been amortizing 12 months or longer. This actual performance data was better than our prior performance assumptions, and combined with the substantial performance history, the uncertainty with respect to the population of converting loans had significantly decreased as of June 30, 2017. This refinement resulted in approximately $70 million of benefit for loan losses during the second quarter of 2017. In order to refine our default assumptions around the remaining population that had not yet started amortizing or that had not reached 12 months post conversion, we evaluated whether the credit quality and performance of these loans was consistent with the seasoned amortizing portfolio. We determined that FICO scores, LTV/CLTVs and delinquency rates were comparable to the seasoned portfolio, and therefore applied the refined default assumptions to this remaining population.
The general allowance for loan losses also included a qualitative component to account for a variety of factors that present additional uncertainty that may not be fully considered in the quantitative loss model but are factors we believe may impact the level of credit losses. We utilize a qualitative factor framework whereby, on a quarterly basis, management assesses the risk associated with three primary sets of factors: external factors, internal factors, and portfolio specific factors. The uncertainty related to these factors may expand over time, temporarily increasing the qualitative component in advance of the more precise identification of these probable losses being captured within the quantitative component of the general allowance. The total qualitative component was $10 million and $6 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.



E*TRADE | Q3 2017 10-Q    35



Effects if Actual Results Differ
It is difficult to estimate how potential changes in the quantitative and qualitative factors, including the impact of loans converting from interest only to amortizing, might impact the allowance for loan losses. Our underlying assumptions and judgments could prove to be inaccurate, which could materially impact our regulatory capital position and results of operations in future periods.
During the normal course of conducting examinations, our banking regulators, the OCC and Federal Reserve, continue to review our business and practices. This process is dynamic and ongoing and we cannot be certain that additional changes or actions will not result from their continuing review.
ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following discussion about market risk includes forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth in Part I. Forward Looking Statements in this Quarterly Report and Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to interest rate risk is related primarily to interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Managing interest rate risk is essential to profitability. The primary objective of the management of interest rate risk is to control exposure to interest rates within the Board-approved limits and with limited exposure to earnings volatility resulting from interest rate fluctuations. Our general strategies to manage interest rate risk include balancing variable-rate and fixed-rate assets and liabilities and utilizing derivatives to help manage exposures to changes in interest rates. Exposure to interest rate risk requires management to make complex assumptions regarding maturities, market interest rates and customer behavior. Changes in interest rates, including the following, could impact interest income and expense:
Interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities may re-price at different times or by different amounts, creating a mismatch.
The yield curve may steepen, flatten or otherwise change shape, which could affect the spread between short- and long-term rates. Widening or narrowing spreads could impact net interest income.
Market interest rates may influence prepayments, resulting in maturity mismatches. In addition, prepayments could impact yields as premiums and discounts amortize.
Exposure to interest rate risk is dependent upon the distribution and composition of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and derivatives. The differing risk characteristics of each product are managed to mitigate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. At September 30, 2017, 93%2018, 94% of our total assets were interest-earning assets and we had no securities classified as trading.
At September 30, 2017, approximately 67%2018, 66% of total assets were available-for-sale and held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities and residential real estate loans. The values of these assets are sensitive to changes in interest rates as well as expected prepayment levels. As interest rates increase, fixed-rate residential mortgages and mortgage-backed securities tend to exhibit lower prepayments. The inverse is true in a falling rate environment.
When real estate loans or mortgage-backed securities are prepaid, unamortized premiums and/or discounts are recognized immediately in interest income. Depending on the timing of the prepayment, these adjustments to income would impact anticipated yields. The Company reviews estimates of the impact of changing market rates on prepayments. This information is incorporated into our interest rate risk management strategy.



E*TRADE | Q3 2017 10-Q    36



Our liability structure consists of two central sources of funding: deposits and customer payables, both of which re-price at management’s discretion. We may utilize securities lending and wholesale funding sources as needed for short-term liquidity and contingency funding requirements.
Derivative Instruments
We use derivative instruments to help manage interest rate risk using designated hedge relationships. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of fixed-rate and variable-rate interest payments between two parties based on a contractual underlying notional amount, but do not involve the exchange of the


E*TRADE Q3 2018 10-Q | Page 38


underlying notional amounts. See Note 7—8—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for additional information about our use of derivative contracts.
Scenario Analysis
Scenario analysis is an advanced approach to estimating interest rate risk exposure. The Company monitors interest rate risk using the Economic Value of Equity (EVE) approach and the Earnings-at-Risk (EAR) approach.
Under the EVE approach, the present value of expected cash flows of all existing interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, derivatives and forward commitments are estimated and combined to produce an EVE figure. The change in EVE is a long-term sensitivity measure of interest rate risk. The approach values only the current balance sheet in which the most significant assumptions are the prepayment rates of the loan portfolio and mortgage-backed securities and the repricing of deposits. This approach does not incorporate assumptions related to business growth, or liquidation and re-investment of instruments. This approach provides an indicator of future earnings and capital levels because changes in EVE indicate the anticipated change in the value of future cash flows. The sensitivity of this value to changes in interest rates is then determined by applying alternative interest rate scenarios. The change in EVE amounts fluctuate based on instantaneous parallel shifts in interest rates primarily due to the change in timing of cash flows, which considers prepayment estimates, in the Company’s residential loan and mortgage-backed securities portfolios.
EAR is a short-term sensitivity measure of interest rate risk and illustrates the impact of alternative interest rate scenarios on net interest income, including corporate interest expense, over a twelve month time frame. In measuring the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates, we assume instantaneous parallel interest rate shocks applied to the forward curve. In addition, we assume that cash flows from loan payoffs are reinvested in mortgage-backed securities, we exclude revenue from off-balance sheet customer cash and we assume no balance sheet growth.
The following table presents the sensitivity of EAREVE and EVEEAR at the consolidated E*TRADE Financial level at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is as follows (dollars in millions):

We actively manage interest rate risk positions. As interest rates change, we will adjust our strategy and mix of assets, liabilities and derivatives to optimize our position. For example, a 100 basis points increase in rates may not result in a change in value as indicated above. We compare the instantaneous parallel shift in interest rate changes in EVE and EAR to the established limits set by the Board of Directors in order to

assess interest rate risk. In the event that the percentage change in EVE or EAR exceeds the Board limits, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Risk Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer must all be promptly notified in writing and decide upon a plan of remediation. In addition, the Board of Directors must be notified of the exception and the planned resolution. At September 30, 2017,2018, the EVE and EAR percentage changes were within our Board limits.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
E*TRADE Financial Corporation is a financial services company that provides brokerage and related products and services primarily to individual retail investors under the brand E*"E*TRADE Financial." The Company also provides investor-focused banking products, primarily sweep deposits, to retail investors.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements, also referred to herein as the consolidated financial statements, include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries as determined under the voting interest model. Entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but in which the Company does not possess control are generally accounted for by the equity method. Entities in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence are generally carried at cost. Investments in marketable equity securities wherecost, or, to the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the entities are accounted for as available-for-sale equity securities.extent that a readily determinable fair value is available, at fair value through net income. The Company also evaluates its initial and continuing involvement with certain entities to determine if the Company is required to consolidate the entities under the variable interest entity (VIE) model. This evaluation is based on a qualitative assessment of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, which requires the Company to possess both: 1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and 2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The consolidated financial statements do not include any consolidated VIEs for all periods presented.
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These
Beginning January 1, 2018, the Company updated the presentation of the consolidated financial statements shouldas follows:

Prior period amounts have not been reclassified to current period presentation and continue to be read in conjunction withreflected within gains on securities and other, net. Fair value hedging adjustments were as follows:

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

On the consolidated balance sheet, publicly traded equity securities are presented within other assets as a result of the adoption of amended accounting guidance. The prior period has not been reclassified as the amended accounting guidance was adopted on Form 10-Ka modified retrospective basis. Accordingly, publicly traded equity securities for the year ended December 31, 2016. While certain disclosures included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in this quarterly report, the Company believes that the information and disclosuresprior period are presented herein are adequate and that such disclosures are not misleading.within available-for-sale securities.
Use of Estimates
Preparing the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates. Certain significant accounting policies are critical because they are based on estimates and assumptions that require complex and subjective judgments by management. Changes in these estimates or assumptions could materially impactmanagement including the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Material estimates in which management believes changes could reasonably occur include: allowance for loan losses;losses, valuation and impairment of goodwill and acquired intangible assets;assets and estimates of effective tax rates, deferred taxes and valuation allowance.

the Company's ongoing evaluations based on available information.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Accounting for Employee Share-Based Payments
In March 2016, the FASB amended the accounting guidance on employee share-based payments. Relevant changes in the amended guidance include the requirement to recognize all excess tax benefits and deficiencies upon exercise or vesting as income tax expense or benefit in the consolidated statement of income; to treat excess tax benefits and deficiencies as discrete items in the reporting period they occur; to not delay recognition of excess tax benefits until the tax benefit is realized through a reduction in current taxes payable; and to make an accounting policy election to either estimate forfeitures or account for them as they occur. The Company adopted the amended accounting guidance as of January 1, 2017 and recognized a $3 million deferred tax asset and cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 the Company reclassified $17 million related to shares withheld to pay taxesRevenue from cash flows from operating activities to the other line item within cash flows from financing activities. Forfeitures will continue to be estimated consistent with the Company's prior accounting policies. The impact to the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will vary based on, among other factors, the market price of the Company's common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 the Company recognized an $8 million income tax benefit in accordance with the new guidance.
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Revenue Recognition on Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the FASB amended the guidance on revenue recognition onfrom contracts with customers. The new standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to apply in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The Company's accounting for net interest income iswas not expected to be impacted by the new standard. The FASB issued supplemental amendments to the new standard to clarify certain accounting guidance and to provide narrow scope improvements and practical expedients during 2016. The amended guidance will bebecame effective for annual and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2018 and may be appliedthe Company adopted the guidance on either a full retrospective or modified retrospective basis. Based on the Company's analysis to date, thisThis adoption isdid not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as the satisfaction of performance obligations under the new guidance is expected to be materially consistent with the Company's existingprevious revenue recognition policies. Similarly, the amended guidance isdid not expected to have a material impact on the recognition of costs incurred to obtain new contracts. The Company is in process of completing its evaluationFor additional information on the Company's adoption of the newamended guidance, including considerations relating to financial statement presentation, disclosures and controls. The Company intends to apply the guidance on a modified retrospective basis.see Note 3—Net Revenue.
Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
In January 2016, the FASB amended the accounting and disclosure guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. Relevant changes in the amended guidance include the requirement that equity investments, excluding those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those resulting in consolidation of the investee, be measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized in net income. For disclosure purposes, the Company will no longer be required to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheet. The amended guidance will bebecame effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018, and is required to bewas applied on a modified retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the consolidated balance sheet on that date.basis. The adoption isdid not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as debt securities represent the majority of the Company's investment portfolio. Beginning January 1, 2018, publicly traded equity securities are presented within other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

E*TRADE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
In August 2016, the FASB amended the guidance on the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the consolidated statement of cash flows to eliminate diversity in practice. The new guidance became effective on January 1, 2018, and the retrospective transition method has been applied to each period presented. Among other changes, the Company now classifies debt extinguishment costs within cash flows from financing activities. The Company reclassified $49 million of debt extinguishment costs incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 to cash flows from financing activities as a result of this adoption.
Classification of Restricted Cash
In November 2016, the FASB amended the guidance on the presentation and classification of changes in restricted cash in the consolidated statement of cash flows to eliminate diversity in practice. The amended guidance requires the consolidated statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The new guidance became effective on January 1, 2018 and has been applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company concluded that cash required to be segregated under federal or other regulations is considered restricted cash and the segregated cash activity is now presented on the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Clarifying the Definition of a Business
In January 2017, the FASB amended the guidance to clarify the definition of a business in order to assist companies in the evaluation of whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The guidance, which became effective on January 1, 2018, did not change the Company's accounting conclusions for the TCA acquisition and is not expected to impact the Company's accounting conclusions for the acquisition of brokerage accounts from Capital One.
Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities
In March 2017, the FASB amended the guidance on the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The amended guidance shortens the amortization period for these securities by requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance does not amend the accounting for securities held at a discount. The Company early adopted this guidance beginning January 1, 2018; however, a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings was not required upon adoption as the Company did not hold any callable debt securities at a premium as of January 1, 2018.
Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities
In August 2017, the FASB amended the guidance to update the recognition and presentation of hedging relationships. Among other changes, the new guidance eases hedge documentation requirements and allows additional types of hedge accounting strategies. The Company early adopted this guidance beginning January 1, 2018. The Company applied the guidance on a modified retrospective basis, which resulted in a $7 million cumulative-effect adjustment to increase retained earnings and to decrease accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition, the guidance provided a one-time transition election to transfer certain debt securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale. The Company transferred agency mortgage-backed and agency debt securities with a fair value of $4.7 billion, and recognized a net pre-tax gain of $7 million within other comprehensive income. For additional information on the Company's adoption of the amended guidance, see Note 8—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
In February 2018, the FASB amended the guidance to address certain income tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the federal tax reform enacted in 2017. The amended guidance provides an option to reclassify tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in the period in which the effect of the tax reform is recorded. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the amended guidance in the first quarter of 2018 and used the portfolio approach to record a $14 million increase to retained earnings and a corresponding decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income. The amount of the reclassification related only to the change in the federal corporate tax rate.
Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements
In August 2018, the FASB amended the guidance on the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of its disclosure effectiveness project. The amended guidance eliminates several disclosure requirements including the policies related to valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements, the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. The amended guidance adds an explicit disclosure requirement to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this guidance as of September 30, 2018 on a retrospective basis.
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Accounting for Leases
In February 2016, the FASB amended the guidance on accounting for leases. The new standard requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all qualifying leases with terms of more than twelve months. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee remains substantially unchanged and depends on classification as a finance or operating lease. The new standard also requires quantitative and qualitative disclosures that provide information about the amounts related to leasing arrangements recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The new guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019, andis required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis to the earliest period presented, which includes practical expedient options in certain circumstances.basis. The Company is in the process of evaluating the new accounting guidance, which includes the assessment of whether certain executory contracts contain embedded leases. The Company has 30 regional branches and 10 corporate locations which are leased. Theexpects to recognize right of use assetassets related to its property leases within the range of $210 million to $250 million based on incremental borrowing rates as of September 30, 2018, which includes leases in effect through the filing of these condensed consolidated financial statements and corresponding lease liability for these leasesterms we expect to be in effect as of the implementation date.

Accounting for Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB amended the accounting guidance on accounting for credit losses. The amended guidance requires measurement of all expected credit losses for financial instruments, including loans and debt securities, and other commitments to extend credit held at the reporting date. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, factors such as historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts will be used to estimate expected credit losses. The amended guidance will also change the mannerresult in which credit losses are recognized on impaired available-for-sale debt securities classified as available-for-sale.being recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The new guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new accounting guidance on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company does not expect the amended accounting guidance to have as significant of an impact as it could have if the Company were originating or purchasing loans. OurCompany's evaluation is contemplatingcontemplates the recent performance of the Company's run-off legacy mortgage and consumer loan portfolio and the credit profile of the current investment securities portfolio; however, the impact of the new guidance will depend on the current and expected macroeconomic conditions and the nature and characteristics of financial assets held by usthe Company on the date of adoption.
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
In August 2016, the FASB amended the guidance on the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the consolidated statement of cash flows to eliminate current diversity in practice. The new guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018, and must be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Among other changes, the Company expects to begin classifying debt extinguishment costs within cash flows from financing activities.
Classification of Restricted Cash
In November 2016, the FASB amended the guidance on the presentation and classification of changes in restricted cash in the consolidated statement of cash flows to eliminate current diversity in practice. The amended guidance requires the consolidated statement of cash flows to explain the change during the period in the total cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The Company expects to begin presenting segregated cash activity on the consolidated statement of cash flows. The guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018, and must be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented.



E*TRADE | Q3 2017 10-Q    52



Clarifying the Definition of a Business
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to clarify the definition of a business in order to assist companies in the evaluation of whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The amended guidance also removes the existing evaluation of a market participant's ability to replace missing elements and narrows the definition of output to achieve consistency with other topics. The guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2018, and must be applied prospectively.
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
In January 2017, the FASB issuedamended the guidance to simplify the test for goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amended guidance requires the Company to perform its annual goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized at the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Income tax effects resulting from any tax deductible goodwill should be considered when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The Company will still have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to conclude whether it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of the Company exceeds its fair value. The guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2020, and must be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted.

E*TRADE | Q3 2017 10-Q    53NOTE 2—BUSINESS ACQUISITION
TCA Acquisition
On April 9, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of TCA for $275 million in cash. TCA is a leading provider of technology solutions and custody services to the RIA market. The acquisition is expected to benefit the Company as the RIA portion of our industry is growing and the Company expects to leverage the E*TRADE brand to accelerate growth. The Company also expects this acquisition to help bolster the Company's ability to retain customers in need of specialized customer service engagement.
The results of TCA's operations have been included in the Company's consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 from the date of acquisition. While we do not maintain discrete financial information for TCA, we estimate TCA's net revenue from April 9, 2018 through September 30, 2018 was approximately $40 million. Supplementary pro forma financial information related to the acquisition is not included because the impact to the Company's consolidated statement of income is not material.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and all the related amendments using the modified retrospective method.
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in the new revenue recognition standard. The transaction price in a contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and is recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.
Commissions Revenue
Commissions are derived from the Company's customers and are impacted by DARTs, average commission per trade and the number of trading days. Commission rates differ by trade type (e.g., equities, derivatives, stock plan and mutual funds) and are also impacted by lower pricing for customers that qualify for active trader pricing. For certain trade types, such as options contracts, the total commission earned varies based on contract volume. Commissions from securities transactions are recognized on a trade-date basis.
Order Flow Revenue
Order flow revenue is generated from market centers that accept trade orders from customer securities transactions. Order flow revenue is recognized on a trade-date basis when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation to the market center.
Money Market Funds and Sweep Deposits Revenue
Money market funds and sweep deposits revenue is driven by fees earned from off-balance sheet customer cash. This revenue is typically based on the average daily balance and the federal funds rate or LIBOR plus a negotiated spread.

Mutual fund service fees are asset-based fees that are driven by the amount of customer assets invested in each fund. Revenue is recognized over time as the performance obligation to provide shareholder services is satisfied.
Other
Other fees and service charges are recognized when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. Fees from software and services for managing equity compensation plans are recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied and are presented within other revenue on the consolidated statement of income.
NOTE 3—
NOTE 4—FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
Fair value is defined as the 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. In determining fair value, the Company may use various valuation approaches, including market, income and/or cost approaches. The fair value hierarchy requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant. Accordingly, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The fair value measurement accounting guidance describes the following three levels used to classify fair value measurements:
Level 1—1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible by the Company
Level 2—2 - quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in an active market, quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly
Level 3—3 - unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities



E*TRADE | Q3 2017 10-Q    54



The availability of observable inputs can vary and in certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the asset or liability.

Recurring Fair Value Measurement Techniques
Mortgage-backed Securities
The Company’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio is comprised of agency mortgage-backed securities which are guaranteedguaranteed by U.S.US government sponsored enterprises and federal agencies. The fair value of agency mortgage-backed securities was determined using a market approach with quoted market prices, recent transactions and spread data for identical or similar instruments. Agency mortgage-backed securities were categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Other Debt Securities
The Company's fair value level classification of U.S.US Treasuries is based on the original maturity dates of the securities and whether the securities are the most recent issuances of a given maturity. U.S.US Treasuries with original maturities less than one year are classified as Level 1. U.S.US Treasuries with original maturities longergreater than one year are classified as Level 1 if they represent the most recent issuance of a given maturity; otherwise, these securities are classified as Level 2.
The fair value measurements of agency debentures and agency debt securities were determined using market and income approaches along with the Company’s own trading activities for identical or similar instruments and were categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
All of the Company’s municipal bonds were rated investment grade at September 30, 2017.2018. These securities were valued using a market approach with pricing service valuations corroborated by recent market transactions for identical or similar bonds. Municipal bonds and corporate bonds were categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Publicly Traded Equity Securities
The fair value measurements of the Company's publicly traded equity securities were classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as they were based on quoted prices in active markets.
Derivative Instruments
Interest rate swap and option contractsswaps were valued with an income approach using pricing models that are commonly used by the financial services industry. The market observable inputs used in the pricing models include the swap curve the volatility surface, and prime or overnight indexed swap basis from a financial data provider. The Company does not consider these models to involve significant judgment on the part of management, and the Company corroborated the fair value measurements with counterparty valuations. The Company’s derivative instruments were categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The consideration of credit risk, the Company’s or the counterparty’s, did not result in an adjustment to the valuation of its derivative instruments in the periods presented.



E*TRADE | Q3 2017 10-Q    55



Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurement Techniques
Certain other assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis: 1) one- to four-family and home equity loans in which the amount of the loan balance in excess of the estimated current value of the underlying property less estimated selling costs has been charged-off; and 2) real estate owned that is carried at the lower of the property’s carrying value or fair value less estimated selling costs.
The Company evaluates and reviews assets that have been subject to fair value measurement requirements on a quarterly basis in accordance with policies and procedures that were designed to be in compliance with guidance from the Company’s regulators. These policies and procedures govern the frequency

Loans Receivable
Loans that have been delinquent for 180 days or that are in bankruptcy and certain TDR loan modifications are charged-off based on the estimated current value of the underlying property less estimated selling costs. Property valuations for these one- to four-family and home equity loans are based on the most recent "as is" property valuation data available, which may include appraisals, broker price opinions, (BPOs), automated valuation models or updated values using home price indices. Subsequent to the recording of an initial fair value measurement, these loans continue to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, utilizing the estimated value of the underlying property less estimated selling costs. These property valuations are updated on a monthly, quarterly or semi-annual basis depending on the type of valuation initially used. If the valuation data obtained is significantly different from the valuation previously received, the Company reviews additional property valuation data to corroborate or update the valuation. If the value of the underlying property has declined, an additional charge-off is recorded. If the value of the underlying property has increased, previously charged-off amounts are not reversed. Recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are recognized within the allowance for loan losses when received.
Real Estate Owned
Property valuations for real estate owned are based on the lowest value of the most recent property valuation data available, which may include appraisals, listing prices or approved offer prices.
Nonrecurring fair value measurements on one- to four-family andloans, home equity loans and real estate owned were classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the valuations included unobservable inputs that were significant to the fair value. The following table presents additional information about significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis that were categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:hierarchy:

(1)The fair value of securities that the Company received as collateral in connection with margin receivables and securities borrowing activities, where the Company is permitted to sell or re-pledge the securities, was approximately $9.8$12.8 billion at December 31, 2016.2017. Of this amount, $2.0$3.2 billion had been pledged or sold in connection with securities loaned and deposits with clearing organizations at December 31, 2016.2017.
(2)The carrying value of loans receivable, net includes the allowance for loan losses of $221$74 million and loans that are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2016.2017.
(3)The $18 million in other assets at December 31, 2017 represents securities borrowing from customers under the fully paid lending program.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The fair value measurement techniques for financial instruments not carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are summarized as follows:
Cash and equivalents, cash required to be segregated under federal or other regulations, margin receivables, receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations, other assets, customer payables and payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations—Due to their short term nature, fair value is estimated to be carrying value.
Held-to-maturity securitiesThe held-to-maturity securities portfolio included agency mortgage-backed securities, agency debentures, agency debt securities, and other debt securities. The fairFair value of held-to-maturity securities is determined consistentlyin a manner consistent with the pricing of available-for-sale securities described above.
Loans receivable, net—Fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Loans are differentiated based on their individual portfolio characteristics, such as product classification, loan category and pricing features. Assumptions for expected losses, prepayments, cash flows and discount rates are adjusted to reflect the individual characteristics of the loans, such as credit risk, coupon, lien position, and payment characteristics, as well as the secondary market conditions for these types of loans.



E*TRADE | Q3 2017 10-Q    61



Credit receivables, included in Consumer and other, is estimated to be carrying value consistent with the Company's valuation of margin receivables.
Although the market for one- to four-family and home equity loan portfolios has improved, given the lack of observability of valuation inputs, these fair value measurements cannot be determined with precision and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates, could significantly affect the results of current or future fair value estimates. In addition, the amount that would be realized in a forced liquidation, an actual sale or immediate settlement could be lower than both the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the portfolio.
DepositsForFair value of certificates of deposit fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow model. For the remainder of deposits, fair value is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.
FHLB advances—Fair value for FHLB advances was determined by discounting future cash flows using discount factors derived from current observable rates implied for other similar instruments with similar remaining maturities.
Trust preferred securitiesFor subordinated debentures, fairFair value iswas estimated by discounting future cash flows at the yield implied by dealer pricing quotes. See Note 10—Other Borrowings, Note 11—Corporate Debt and Note 15—Commitments, Contingencies and Other Regulatory Matters.
Corporate debtFor interest-bearing corporate debt, fairFair value is estimated using dealer pricing quotes.
Fair Value of Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company makes various commitments to extend credit and incur contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the economy or interest rates may influence the impact that these commitments and contingencies have on the Company in the future. The Company does not estimate the fair value of those commitments. The Company has the right to cancel these commitments in certain circumstances and has closed a significant amount of customer HELOCs in the past ten years. Information related to such commitments and contingent liabilities is included in Note 14—15—Commitments, Contingencies and Other Regulatory Matters.Matters.

NOTE 4—OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
NOTE 5—OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
For financial statement purposes, the Company does not offset derivative instruments or securities borrowing and securities lending transactions. These activities are generally transacted under master agreements that are widely used by counterparties and that may allow for net settlements of payments in the normal course, as well as offsetting of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event of bankruptcy or default of one of the two parties to the transaction. The following table presents information about thesethe Company's derivative instruments, securities borrowing and securities lending transactions which are transacted under master agreements to enable the users of the Company’s consolidated financial statements to evaluate the potential effect of rights of set-off between these recognized assets and liabilities at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (dollars in millions):

(5)(6)Collateral pledged included held-to-maturity securities at amortized cost at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.2017.
Securities Lending Transactions
Deposits paid for securities borrowed and deposits received for securities loaned are recorded at the amount of cash collateral advanced or received. Securities borrowing transactions require the Company to deposit cash with the lender whereas securities lending transactions result in the Company receiving collateral in the form of cash, with both requiring cash in an amount generally in excess of the market value of the securities. These transactions have overnight or continuous remaining contractual maturities.
Securities lending transactions expose the Company to counterparty credit risk and market risk. To manage the counterparty risk, the Company maintains internal standards for approving counterparties, reviews and analyzes the credit rating of each counterparty, and monitors its positions with each counterparty on an ongoing basis. In addition, for certain of the Company's securities lending transactions, the Company uses a program with a clearing organization that guarantees the return of securities.collateral. The Company monitors the market value of the securities borrowed and loaned using collateral arrangements that require additional collateral to be obtained from or excess collateral to be returned to the counterparties based on changes in market value, to maintain specified collateral levels.
Derivative Transactions
Certain types of derivatives that the Company utilizes in its hedging activities are subject to derivatives clearing agreements (cleared derivatives contracts) under the Dodd-Frank Act.. These cleared derivatives contracts enable clearing by a derivatives clearing organization through a clearing member. Under the contracts, the clearing member typically has a one-way right to offset all contracts in the event of the Company's default or bankruptcy. Collateral exchanged under these contracts is not included in the preceding table above as the contracts may not qualify as master netting agreements. At September 30, 2017See Note 8—Derivative Instruments and December 31, 2016, the Company had $92 million and $165 million, respectively, of cleared derivative contract assets. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $30 million and $25 million, respectively, of cleared derivative contract liabilities.Hedging Activities for additional information.
In January 2017, a clearing organization through which the Company executes certain of its derivative contracts amended its rulebook to legally characterize variation margin payments as settlements of the derivatives' exposure rather than collateral against the exposure. For these contracts, amounts exchanged with counterparties are reflected as a reduction of the related derivative assets or liabilities, including accrued interest, on the consolidated balance sheet. At September 30, 2017, the Company had derivative assets and liabilities of $10 million and $20 million, respectively, excluding accrued interest, that were settled by variation margin payments and are therefore excluded from the table above.

(1)In August 2018, the Company sold available-for-sale securities and reinvested the sale proceeds in agency-backed securities at current market rates. A subset of these securities had been purchased in lower interest rate environments and were in unrealized loss positions at the time of sale. As both the change in intent related to these securities and the sale of these securities occurred within the same reporting period, the Company presented the losses on the sale of these securities within the gains on securities and other, net line item.
(2)Includes a $5 million gain on the sale of our Chicago Stock Exchange investment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
(3)
Includes a loss of $2 million and $5 million on hedge ineffectiveness for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Beginning January 1, 2018 fair value hedging adjustments are recognized within net interest income.

These factors include: loan type, estimated current LTV/CLTV ratios, delinquency history, borrowers’ current credit scores, housing prices, loan vintage and geographic location of the property. The Company believes LTV/CLTV ratios and credit scores are the key factors in determining future loan performance. The factors are updated on at least a quarterly basis. The Company tracks and reviews delinquency status to predict and monitor credit risk in the consumer loan portfolio on at least a quarterly basis.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date, as well as the forecasted losses, including economic concessions to borrowers, over the estimated remaining life of loans modified as TDRs. The general allowance for loan losses includes a qualitative component to account for a variety of factors that present additional uncertainty that may not be fully considered in the quantitative loss model but are factors we believe may impact the level of credit losses.

The benefit for loan losses of $142 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 reflected approximately $70 million of benefit recognized in the second quarter of 2017 resulting from the Company's refinement of default assumptions in the quantitative allowance methodology based on the sustained outperformance of converted mortgage loans that had been amortizing for 12 months or longer. In order to refine the default assumptions around the remaining population that had not yet started amortizing or that

The allowance for loan losses was $41 million, or 1.8% of total loans receivable, as of September 30, 2018 compared to $74 million, or 2.7% of total loans receivable, as of December 31, 2017. Net recoveries for the Company evaluated whethernine months ended September 30, 2018 were $41 million compared to $15 million in the credit qualitysame period in 2017.
The benefit for loan losses was $74 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The timing and magnitude of the provision (benefit) for loan losses is affected by many factors that could result in variability. These benefits reflected better than expected performance of these loans was consistent with the seasoned amortizing portfolio. The Company determined that FICO scores, LTV/CLTVs and delinquency rates were comparable to the seasonedour portfolio and therefore applied the refined default assumptions to this remaining population. The current period benefit also reflectedas well as recoveries in excess of prior estimates,expectations, including sales of charged-off loans and recoveries of previous charge-offs.charge-offs that were not included in our loss estimates.

Impaired Loans—Troubled Debt Restructurings
Delinquency status is the primary measure the Company uses to evaluate the performance of loans modified as TDRs. The Company classifies loans as nonperforming when they are no longer accruing interest. The recorded investment in loans modified as TDRs includes the charge-offs related to certain loans that were written down to estimated current value of the underlying property less estimated selling costs.

Fair Value Hedges
Fair value hedges are used to offset exposure to changes in value of certain fixed-rate assets. Fair value hedges are accounted for by recordingAll of the Company's derivative instruments were designated in fair value ofhedging relationships at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. For each fair value hedge, both the gain or loss on the derivative, instrument andincluding interest accruals, as well as the fair value of the asset being hedgedoffsetting gain or loss on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes inhedged item attributable to the fair value of both the derivative instruments and the underlying assetshedged risk are recognized in the gains on securities and other, net line item in the consolidated statement of income. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, the changes in the fair values will not offset and the difference, or hedge ineffectiveness, is reflected in the gains on securities and other, net line item in the consolidated statement of income.
earnings. Hedge accounting is discontinued for fair value hedges if a derivative instrument is sold, terminated or otherwise de-designated. If fair value hedge accounting is discontinued, the previously hedged item is no longer adjusted for changes in fair value through the consolidated statement of income and the cumulative net gain or loss on the hedged asset or liability at the time of de-designationitem is amortized to net interest income or interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected remaining life of the hedged item. Changes
Beginning January 1, 2018, the net earnings impact of a fair value hedge that is not perfectly effective is recognized in the interest income line item in the consolidated statement of income. Prior to January 1, 2018, the net earnings impact due to changes in fair value of the derivative instruments after de-designation of fair value hedge accounting are recordedand the hedged item, which was previously referred to as ineffectiveness, is reflected in the gains on securities and other, net line item in the consolidated statement of income. The earnings impact of interest accruals on the derivative is reflected in the interest income line item in the consolidated statement of income.
In January 2017, one of the two central clearing organizations through which the Company executes certain of its derivative contracts amended its rulebooks to legally characterize variation margin payments as settlements of the derivatives' exposure rather than collateral against the exposure. By January 2018, both central clearing organizations had adopted similar rulebook amendments. As a result, for centrally cleared derivatives contracts, amounts exchanged with counterparties are reflected as a reduction of the related derivative assets or liabilities, including accrued interest, on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company therefore had no centrally cleared derivative contract assets or liabilities reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as a result of the rulebook changes as of September 30, 2018. At December 31, 2017, the Company had $131 million and $9 million of centrally cleared derivative contract assets and liabilities, respectively, reflected on the consolidated balance sheet.
The consolidated balance sheet and the table below exclude the following as these contracts were executed through a central clearing organization and were settled by variation margin payments:
Derivative assets of $371 million and $6 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively
Derivative liabilities of $1 million and $18 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively

Under the Aggregate Indebtedness method, a broker-dealer is required to maintain net capital equal to or in excess of the greater of 6 2/3% of its aggregate indebtedness, as defined, or a minimum dollar amount. E*TRADE Securities has elected the Alternative method, under which it is required to maintain net capital equal to the greater of $250,000 or 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions. The Company’s international broker-dealer subsidiary is subject to capital requirements determined by its respective regulator.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 14—
NOTE 15—COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company reviews its lawsuits, regulatory inquiries and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and provides disclosure and records loss contingencies in accordance with the loss contingencies accounting guidance. The Company establishes an accrual for losses at management's best estimate when it assesses that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company monitors these matters for developments that would affect the likelihood of a loss and the accrued amount, if any, and adjusts the amount as appropriate.
Litigation Matters
On October 27, 2000, Ajaxo, Inc. (Ajaxo) filed a complaint in the Superior Court for the State of California, County of Santa Clara. Ajaxo sought damages and certain non-monetary relief for the Company’s alleged breach of a non-disclosure agreement with Ajaxo pertaining to certain wireless technology that Ajaxo offered the Company as well as damages and other relief against the Company for their alleged misappropriation of Ajaxo’s trade secrets. Following a jury trial, a judgment was entered in 2003 in favor of Ajaxo against the Company for $1 million for breach of the Ajaxo non-disclosure agreement. The trial court subsequently denied Ajaxo’s requests for additional damages and relief following which Ajaxo appealed. Although the Company paid Ajaxo the full amount due on the above-described judgment, the case was remanded back to the trial court by the California Court of Appeal, and on May 30, 2008, a jury returned a verdict in favor of the Company denying all claims raised and demands for damages against the Company. After various appeals the case was again remanded back to the trial court. Following the third trial of thein this matter, in a Judgment and Statement of Decision filed September 16, 2015, the Court denied all claims for royalties by Ajaxo. Ajaxo’s post-trial motions were denied. Ajaxo has appealed to the Court of Appeal,Appeals, Sixth District. Briefing of this appeal is expected to continue to November 21, 2017. The Company will continue to defend itself vigorously in this matter.
On May 16, 2011, Droplets Inc., the holder of two patents pertaining to user interface servers, filed a complaint in the U.S.US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against E*TRADE Financial Corporation, E*TRADE Securities, E*TRADE Bank and multiple other unaffiliated financial services firms. The plaintiff contends that the defendants engaged in patent infringement under federal law and seeks unspecified damages and an injunction against future infringements, plus royalties, costs, interest and attorneys’ fees. On March 28, 2012, a change of venue was granted and the case was transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Company's motion for summary judgment on the grounds of non-infringement was granted by the U.S.US District Court in a Decision and Order dated March 9, 2015. All remaining claims are stayed pending resolution of issues on Droplet's remaining patents under review by the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). After a hearing, the PTAB deemed Droplets’ putative '115 patent to be “unpatentable” on June 23, 2016. In a separate proceeding, the PTAB has also separately deemed Droplets’ putative '838 patent to be “unpatentable.” Droplets has appealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. The briefingdecision of the PTAB was completedaffirmed on July 24, 2017, and oral argument has not yet been scheduled.April 19, 2018. The Company will continue to defend itself vigorously in this matter.
On April 30, 2013, a putative class action was filed by John Scranton, on behalf of himself and a class of persons similarly situated, against E*TRADE Financial Corporation and E*TRADE Securities in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, pursuant to the California procedures for a private Attorney General action. The complaint alleged that the Company misrepresented through its website that it would always automatically exercise options that were in-the-money by $0.01 or more on expiration date. The plaintiffs allege violations of the California Unfair Competition Law, the California Consumer Remedies Act, fraud, misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty and plaintiffs seek unspecified damages. Final judgment was entered in the Company's favor on April 8, 2015, and the plaintiff filed an appeal. The briefing is complete and oral argument was heard on October 24, 2017. The Company will continue to defend itself vigorously in this matter.



E*TRADE | Q3 2017 10-Q    86



On March 26, 2015, a putative class action was filed in the U.S.US District Court for the Northern District of California by Ty Rayner, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, naming E*TRADE Financial Corporation and E*TRADE Securities as defendants. The complaint alleges that E*TRADE breached a fiduciary duty and unjustly enriched itself in connection with the routing of its customers’ orders to various market-makers and exchanges. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages, declaratory relief, restitution, disgorgement of payments received by the Company, and attorneys’ fees. On April 2, 2017, the District Court dismissed the complaint in Rayner. The plaintiffs in Rayner appealed and the oral argument was heard by the Second Court of Appeals on December 7, 2017. On July 31, 2018, the Second Court of


E*TRADE Q3 2018 10-Q | Page 98





E*TRADE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Appeals upheld the dismissal of the complaint. The Company will continue to defend itself vigorously in this matter.
On July 23, 2016, a putative class action was filed in the U.S.US District Court for the Southern District of New York by Craig L. Schwab, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated, naming E*TRADE Financial Corporation, E*TRADE Securities, and former Company executives as defendants. The complaint alleges that E*TRADE violated federal securities laws in connection with the routing of its customers’ orders to various market-makers and exchanges. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages, declaratory relief, restitution, disgorgement of payments received by the Company, and attorneys’ fees. By stipulation both matters are now venued in the Southern District of New York. On April 2, 2017, the District Court dismissed the complaint in Rayner. The plaintiffs in Rayner appealed. Oral argument on the appeal is scheduled for December 8, 2017. On July 10, 2017 the Court dismissed the Schwab claims without prejudice. The plaintiff in Schwab filed a third amended complaint on August 9, 2017, which E*TRADE has moved to dismiss. On January 22, 2018, the Court dismissed all claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs have appealed to the Second Court of Appeals on October 23, 2018. On October 26, 2018, the Second Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal of the complaint. The Company will continue to defend itself vigorously in these matters.this matter.
In addition to the matters described above, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. In each pending matter, the Company contests liability or the amount of claimed damages. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, or where investigation or discovery have yet to be completed, the Company is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses on its remaining outstanding legal proceedings; however, the Company believes any losses, both individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
An unfavorable outcome in any matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, even if the ultimate outcomes are resolved in the Company’s favor, the defense of such litigation could entail considerable cost or the diversion of the efforts of management, either of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Regulatory Matters
The securities, futures, foreign currency and banking industries are subject to extensive regulation under federal, state and applicable international laws. From time to time, the Company has been threatened with or named as a defendant in lawsuits, arbitrations and administrative claims involving securities, banking and other matters. The Company is also subject to periodic regulatory examinations and inspections. Compliance and trading problems that are reported to regulators, such as the SEC, FINRA, NASDAQ, CFTC, NFA, FDIC, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, OCC, or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) by dissatisfied customers or others are investigated by such regulators, and may, if pursued, result in formal claims being filed against the Company by customers or disciplinary action being taken against the Company or its employees by regulators. Any such claims or disciplinary actions that are decided against the Company could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Insurance
The Company maintains insurance coverage that management believes is reasonable and prudent. The principal insurance coverage it maintains covers commercial general liability; property damage; hardware/software damage; cyber liability; directors and officers; employment practices liability; certain criminal acts against the Company; and errors and omissions. The Company believes that such insurance coverage is adequate for the purpose of its business. The Company’s ability to maintain this level of insurance coverage in the future, however, is subject to the availability of affordable insurance in the marketplace.
Commitments
In the normal course of business, the Company makes various commitments to extend credit and incur contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheet. Significant changes in the economy or interest rates may influence the impact that these commitments and contingencies have on the Company in the future.
The Company’s equity method, cost method and other investments are generally limited liability investments in partnerships, companies and other similar entities, including tax credit partnerships and community development entities, which are not required to be consolidated. The Company had $115$77 million in unfunded commitments with respect to these investments at September 30, 2017.    2018.
At September 30, 2017,2018, the Company had approximately $21$17 million of certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year.
Guarantees
In prior periods when the Company sold loans, the Company provided guarantees to investors purchasing mortgage loans, which are considered standard representations and warranties within the mortgage industry. The primary guarantees are that: the mortgage and the mortgage note have been duly executed and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms; the mortgage has been duly acknowledged and recorded and is valid; and the mortgage and the mortgage note are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto. The Company is responsible for the guarantees on loans sold. If these claims prove to be untrue, the investor can require the Company to repurchase the loan and return all loan purchase and servicing release premiums. Management does not believe the potential liability exposure will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition due to the nature of the standard representations and warranties, which have resulted in a minimal amount of loan repurchases.
Prior to 2008, ETBHETB Holdings raised capital through the formation of trusts, which sold TRUPs in the capital markets. The capital securities mustwere required to be redeemed in whole at the due date, which is generally 30 years after issuance. Each trust issued TRUPs at par, with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per capital security. The trusts used the proceeds from the sale of issuances to purchase subordinated debentures issued by ETBH.

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)in this Quarterly Report and is incorporated by reference into this item.
ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017, except for the risk factor included below:
Risks Relating to Owning Our Stock
Our future ability to pay cash dividends to holders of our common stock is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will be limited by our ability to generate sufficient earnings and cash flows.

We recently announced the declaration of a quarterly dividend on shares of our common stock. Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors that the board of directors deems relevant, including future earnings, the success of our business activities, capital requirements, the general financial condition and future prospects of our business and general business conditions. If we are unable to generate sufficient earnings and cash flows from our business, we may not be able to pay dividends on our common stock.

The failure to declare a quarterly dividend in the future could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
