TABLE OF CONTENTS
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) contain or incorporate statements that East West Bancorp, Inc. (referred to herein on an unconsolidated basis as “East West” and on a consolidated basis as the “Company”) believes are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 175 promulgated thereunder, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 3b-6 promulgated thereunder. These statements relate to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance or business. They usually can be identified by the use of forward-looking language, such as “likely result in,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “intends to,” or may include other similar words or phrases, such as “believes,” “plans,” “trend,” “objective,” “continues,” “remains,” or similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “can,” or similar verbs. You should not place undue reliance on these statements, as they are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in the documents incorporated by reference. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind these risks and uncertainties, as well as any cautionary statements the Company may make. Moreover, you should treat these statements as speaking only as of the date they are made and based only on information then actually known to the Company.
There are a number of important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, include, but are not limited to:
the Company’s ability to compete effectively against other financial institutions in its banking markets;
changes in the commercial and consumer real estate markets;
changes in the Company’s costs of operation, compliance and expansion;
changes in the United States (“U.S.”) economy, including inflation, employment levels, rate of growth and general business conditions;
changes in government interest rate policies;
changes in laws or the regulatory environment including regulatory reform initiatives and policies of the U.S. Department of Treasury, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the California Department of Business Oversight — Division of Financial Institutions;
heightened regulatory and governmental oversight and scrutiny of the Company’s business practices, including dealings with consumers;
changes in the economy of and monetary policy in the People’s Republic of China;
changes in income tax laws and regulations;
changes in accounting standards as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other regulatory agencies and their impact on critical accounting policies and assumptions;
changes in the equity and debt securities markets;
future credit quality and performance, including the Company’s expectations regarding future credit losses and allowance levels;
fluctuations in the Company’s stock price;
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
success and timing of the Company’s business strategies;
ability of the Company to adopt and successfully integrate new technologies into its business in a strategic manner;
impact of reputational risk from negative publicity, fines and penalties and other negative consequences from regulatory violations and legal actions;
impact of potential federal tax changes and spending cuts;
impact of adverse judgments or settlements in litigation;
impact of regulatory enforcement actions;
changes in the Company’s ability to receive dividends from its subsidiaries;
impact of political developments, wars or other hostilities that may disrupt or increase volatility in securities or otherwise affect economic conditions;
impact of natural or man-made disasters or calamities or conflicts or other events that may directly or indirectly result in a negative impact on the Company’s financial performance;
continuing consolidation in the financial services industry;
the Company’s capital requirements and its ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms;
impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on the Company’s business, business practices and cost of operations;
impact of adverse changes to the Company’s credit ratings from the major credit rating agencies;
impact of failure in, or breach of, the Company’s operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties with whom the Company does business, including as a result of cyber attacks; and other similar matters which could result in, among other things, confidential and/or proprietary information being disclosed or misused;
adequacy of the Company’s risk management framework, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting;
the effect of the current low interest rate environment or changes in interest rates on the Company’s net interest income and net interest margin;
the effect of changes in the level of checking or savings account deposits on the Company’s funding costs and net interest margin; and
a recurrence of significant turbulence or disruption in the capital or financial markets, which could result in, among other things, a reduction in the availability of funding or increased funding costs, reduced investor demand for mortgage loans and declines in asset values and/or recognition of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on securities held in the Company’s available-for-sale investment securities portfolio.
For a more detailed discussion of some of the factors that might cause such differences, see the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2017 (the “Company’s 2016 Form 10-K”), under the heading “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” and the information set forth under “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” in this Form 10-Q. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of events or circumstances after the date of such statements except as required by law.

The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principlesgenerally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), applicable guidelines prescribed by regulatory authorities, and general practices in the banking industry,industry. They reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair statement of the interim period Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain items on the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. Events subsequent to the Consolidated Balance Sheet date have been evaluated through the date the Consolidated Financial Statements are issued for inclusion in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto, included in the Company’s 2016annual report on Form 10-K.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2019 (the “Company’s 2018 Form 10-K”).
Note 2 — Current Accounting Developments
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships, to clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument in an existing hedging relationship would not be considered a termination of the derivative instrument or a change in a critical term of the hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria in ASC 815 continue to be met. This clarification applies to both cash flow and fair value hedging relationships. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. |
| | | |
Standard | Required Date of Adoption | Description | Effects on Financial Statements |
Standards Adopted in 2019 |
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and subsequent related ASUs | January 1, 2019 for leases standards other than ASU 2019-01.
January 1, 2020 for ASU 2019-01 Early adoption is permitted. | ASC Topic 842, Leases, supersedes ASC Topic 840, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and provide quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding key information about the leasing arrangements. For short-term leases with a term of 12 months or less, lessees can make a policy election not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. The ASU also expands the qualitative and quantitative lease disclosures.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which provides companies the option to continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, Leases, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year they adopt ASU 2016-02. Companies that elect this transition option recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption rather than in the earliest period presented.
In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842) Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors, which include amendments related to 1) sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from lessees; 2) lessor costs paid directly by a lessee; and 3) the recognition of variable payments for contracts with lease and nonlease components.
In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) Codification Improvements, which addresses issues related to 1) determining the fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers; 2) presentation on the statement of cash flows — sales-type and direct financing leases; and 3) transition disclosures related to Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. | The Company adopted all the new lease standards on January 1, 2019 using the alternative transition method, which allows the adoption of the accounting standard prospectively without revising comparable prior periods’ financial information.
On January 1, 2019, the Company recognized $109.1 million and $117.7 million increase in right-of-use assets and associated lease liabilities, respectively, based on the present value of the expected remaining operating lease payments. In addition, the Company also recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment of $14.7 million to increase beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 related to the deferred gains on our prior sale and leaseback transactions that occurred prior to the date of adoption. The impact to the Company’s Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was a reduction of approximately 4 bps. The adoption of the new leases standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income. |
ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements | Amendments that do not require transition guidance: effective immediately upon issuance in July, 2018.
Amendments that require transition guidance: January 1, 2019. | This ASU makes improvements to various Codification Topics. Some of the improvements include: 1) clarifying that the excess tax benefits for share-based compensation awards should be recognized in the period in which the amount of the deduction is determined; 2) one of the criteria “the intent to set off” under ASC 210-20-45-1 is not required to offset derivative assets and liabilities for certain amounts arising from derivative instruments recognized at fair value and executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement; and 3) clarifying the measurement of certain financial instruments. | The Company adopted the amendments that are effective on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. |
ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes | January 1, 2019
Early adoption (including adoption in an interim period) is permitted for entities that already adopted ASU 2017-12. | This ASU amends ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, by adding the OIS rate based on SOFR to the list of United States (“U.S.”) benchmark interest rates that are eligible to be hedged to facilitate the London Interbank Offered Rate to SOFR transition. The guidance should be applied prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption. | The Company adopted ASU 2018-16 prospectively on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance did not impact existing hedges but may impact new hedge relationships that are benchmarked against the SOFR OIS rate. |
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments, which requires an entity to use a four-step decision model when assessing contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments to determine whether they are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. The Company adopted this guidance on a modified retrospective basis in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323):Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting, to eliminate the requirement for an investor to retroactively apply the equity method when its increase in ownership interest (or degree of influence) in an investee triggers equity method accounting. The amendments in ASU 2016-07 also require that an entity that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method of accounting recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) at the date the investment becomes qualified for use of the equity method. The Company adopted this guidance prospectively in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification in the statements of cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. The changes that impacted the Company included a requirement that excess tax benefits and deficiencies be recognized as a component of Income tax expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income rather than Additional paid-in capital on the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity as required in the previous guidance. The adoption of this guidance results in increased volatility to the Company’s income tax expense, but does not have a material impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheets or the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. The income tax expense volatility is dependent on the Company’s stock price on the dates the restricted stock units (“RSUs”) vest, which occur primarily in the first quarter of each year. Net excess tax benefits for RSUs of $4.6 million have been recognized by the Company as a component of Income tax expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The guidance also removes the impact of the excess tax benefits and deficiencies from the calculation of diluted EPS. In addition, ASU 2016-09 no longer requires a presentation of excess tax benefits and deficiencies as both an operating outflow and a financing inflow on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Instead, excess tax benefits and deficiencies are recorded along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity. These changes to the guidance were applied on a prospective basis. The Company has also elected to retain its existing accounting policy election to estimate award forfeitures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue for contracts to provide goods or services to customers and will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in the U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are also required. ASU 2014-09 is effective on January 1, 2018. The guidance should be applied on either a modified retrospective or full retrospective basis. The Company’s revenue is mainly comprised of net interest income and noninterest income. The scope of the guidance explicitly excludes net interest income, as well as other revenues from financial instruments such as loans, leases, securities and derivatives. The Company has completed a comprehensive scoping exercise to determine the revenue streams that are in the scope of the guidance and the review of its contracts to ascertain whether certain noninterest income revenue items are within the scope of the new guidance. Based on the completed contract reviews thus far, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on its Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Income. The next phase of the Company’s implementation work will be to evaluate any changes that may be required to its applicable disclosures.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which requires equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or consolidated, to be measured at fair value with changes recognized in net income, thus eliminating eligibility for the current available-for-sale category. If there is no readily determinable fair value, the guidance allows entities to measure equity investments at cost less impairment, whereby impairment is based on a qualitative assessment. Furthermore, investments in Federal Reserve Bank and FHLB stock are not subject to this guidance and will continue to be presented at cost. The guidance eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost and changes the presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets or in the footnotes. If an entity has elected the fair value option to measure liabilities, the guidance requires the portion of the change in the fair value of a liability resulting from credit risk to be presented in Other comprehensive income. ASU 2016-01 is effective on January 1, 2018. Early adoption is not permitted except for certain specific changes under the fair value option guidance. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the adoption date. The Company does not have a significant amount of equity securities classified as available-for-sale. Additionally, the Company does not have any financial liabilities accounted for under the fair value option. For the guidance that is applicable to us, the accounting will be implemented on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2018, except for the guidance related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values, which should be applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets or Consolidated Statements of Income.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which is intended to increase transparency and comparability in the accounting for lease transactions. The guidance requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and provide quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding key information about the leasing arrangements. For short-term leases with a term of 12 months or less, lessees can make a policy election not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. ASU 2016-02 is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements by reviewing its existing lease contracts and service contracts that may include embedded leases. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2016-02 to result in additional assets and liabilities, as the Company will be required to recognize operating leases on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company does not expect a material impact to its recognition of operating lease expense on its Consolidated Statements of Income. Upon completion of the contract reviews and consideration of system requirements, the Company will evaluate the impacts of adopting the new accounting guidance on its disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, to introduce a new approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, which modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The new “expected credit loss” impairment model will apply to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loan receivables, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, ASU 2016-13 does not change the measurement method of credit losses, except that the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. ASU 2016-13 also expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses, and requires disclosure of the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination (i.e., by vintage year). ASU 2016-13 is effective on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted on January 1, 2019. The guidance should be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the reporting period of adoption. While the Company is still evaluating the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company expects that ASU 2016-13 may result in an increase in the allowance for credit losses due to the following factors: 1) the allowance for credit losses provides for expected credit losses over the remaining expected life of the loan portfolio, and will consider expected future changes in macroeconomic conditions; 2) the nonaccretable difference on the purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans will be recognized as an allowance, offset by an increase in the carrying value of the PCI loans; and 3) an allowance may be established for estimated credit losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities. The amount of the increase will be impacted by the portfolio composition and quality, as well as the economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date. The Company has begun its implementation efforts by identifying key interpretive issues, assessing its processes and identifying the system requirements against the new guidance to determine what modifications may be required.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, to provide guidance on eight specific issues related to classification on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in order to reduce diversity in practice. The specific issues cover cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; cash outflows for settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments that are not made soon after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests received in securitization transactions; and clarification regarding when no specific U.S. GAAP guidance exists and the sources of the cash flows are not separately identifiable, the classification should be based on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source or use of the cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied using a retrospective transition method. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, whichrequires the Company to include those amounts that are deemed to be restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in its cash and cash equivalent balances on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, the Company is required to explain the changes in the combined total of restricted and unrestricted balances on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. An entity will no longer perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, impairment will be measured using the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. The guidance also eliminates the requirements for any reporting units with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. ASU 2017-04 is effective on January 1, 2020 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests with measurement dates after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. The guidance does not require any accounting changes for debt securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life (to maturity) of the instrument. ASU 2017-08 is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method, with the cumulative-effect adjustment recognized to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. ASU 2017-09 is effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. The Company plans to adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 prospectively.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which better aligns the Company’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the description and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results, expands and refines hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components, and aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item on the Consolidated Financial Statements. ASU 2017-12 is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance should be applied using a retrospective transition method to any existing cash flows or net investment hedges through a cumulative-effect adjustment to AOCI to eliminate the separate measurement of ineffectiveness. The amended presentation and disclosure guidance is applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 3 — Dispositions
In the first quarter of 2017, the Company completed the sale and leaseback of a commercial property in San Francisco, California for cash consideration of $120.6 million and entered into a leaseback with the buyer for part of the property, consisting of a retail branch and office facilities. The property had a net book value of $31.6 million at the time of sale, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $85.4 million after considering $3.6 million in selling costs. As the leaseback is an operating lease, $71.7 million of the gain was recognized on the closing date, and $13.7 million was deferred and will be recognized over the term of the lease agreement. The first quarter 2017 diluted EPS impact from the sale of the commercial property was $0.28 per share, net of tax.
In the third quarter of 2017, the Company sold its insurance brokerage business, East West Insurance Services, Inc., for $4.3 million, and recorded a pre-tax gain of $3.8 million. The third quarter 2017 diluted EPS impact from the sale of the Company’s insurance brokerage business was $0.02 per share, net of tax. |

Standard | Required Date of Adoption | Description | Effects on Financial Statements |
Standards Not Yet Adopted |
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments | January 1, 2020
Early adoption is permitted on January 1, 2019. | The ASU introduces a new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model that applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loan receivables, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The CECL model utilizes a lifetime “expected credit loss” measurement objective for the recognition of credit losses at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired. The expected credit losses are adjusted in each period for changes in expected lifetime credit losses. This ASU also expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating the allowance for loan and lease losses, and requires disclosure of the amortized cost balance for each class of financial asset by credit quality indicator, disaggregated by the year of origination (i.e., by vintage year). The guidance should be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the reporting period of adoption. | While the Company is still evaluating the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company expects that this ASU may result in an increase in the allowance for credit losses due to the following factors: 1) the allowance for credit losses provides for expected credit losses over the remaining expected life of the loan portfolio, and will consider expected future changes in macroeconomic conditions; 2) the nonaccretable difference on the purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) loans will be recognized as an allowance, offset by an increase in the carrying value of the PCI loans; and 3) an allowance may be established for estimated credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The Company’s implementation efforts include, but are not limited to, identifying key interpretive issues, assessing its processes, identifying the system requirements against the new guidance to determine what modifications may be required. The Company is completing model development and implementation and is in the process of evaluating qualitative factors. The Company will continue to address any gaps in interpretations, methodology, data and operational processes from review, model validation, and parallel runs during the remainder of 2019. The Company expects to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2020. |
ASU 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment | January 1, 2020
Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests with measurement dates after January 1, 2017. | The ASU simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. Under this guidance, an entity will no longer perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, an impairment loss will be recognized when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. The guidance also eliminates the requirement to perform a qualitative assessment for any reporting units with a zero or negative carrying amount. This guidance should be applied prospectively. | The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company expects to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2020. |
ASU 2018-15, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract | January 1, 2020
Early adoption is permitted. | The ASU amends ASC Topic 350-40 to align the accounting for costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement with the guidance on developing internal use software. Specifically, if a cloud computing arrangement is deemed to be a service contract, certain implementation costs are eligible for capitalization. The new guidance prescribes the balance sheet and income statement presentation and cash flow classification for the capitalized costs and related amortization expense. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. | The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company expects to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2020. |
Note 3 — Dispositions
On March 17, 2018, the Bank completed the sale of its eight Desert Community Bank (“DCB”) branches located in the High Desert area of Southern California to Flagstar Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. The assets and liability of the DCB branches that were sold in this transaction primarily consisted of $613.7 million of deposits, $59.1 million of loans, $9.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $7.9 million of premises and equipment. The transaction resulted in a net cash payment of $499.9 million by the Company to Flagstar Bank. After transaction costs, the sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $31.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018, which was reported as Net gain on sale of business on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Note 4 — Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value Determination
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses various methods including market and income approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy noted below is based on the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency. The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities is classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
|
| | | |
• | Level 1 | — | Valuation is based on quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. |
• | Level 2 | — | Valuation is based on quoted prices for similar instruments traded in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable and can be corroborated by market data. |
• | Level 3 | — | Valuation is based on significant unobservable inputs for determining the fair value of assets or liabilities. These significant unobservable inputs reflect assumptions that market participants may use in pricing the assets or liabilities. |

Transfers into or out of fair value hierarchy classifications are made if the significant inputs used in the financial models measuring the fair values of the assets and liabilities become unobservable or observable in the current marketplace. The Company’s policy, with respect to transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, is to recognize transfers into and out of each level as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis into and out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company transferred a non-agency commercial mortgage-backed security with a net carrying amount of $115.6 million from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale to reflect the Company’s intent to sell the security under active liquidity management.Recurring Basis
The following table presents quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of assets measured on a recurring basis classified as Level 3 as of September 30, 2017. Significant unobservable inputs presented in the table below are those that the Company considers significant to the fair value of the Level 3 assets or liabilities. The Company considers unobservable inputs to be significant if, by their exclusion, the fair value of the Level 3 assets or liabilities would be impacted by a predetermined percentage change.

The following is a description ofsection describes the valuation methodologies and significant assumptions used by the Company to measure financial assets and liabilities at fair value, andon a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of these instruments pursuant to estimate fair value for certain financial instruments not recorded at fair value. The description also includes the level of the fair value hierarchy in which the assets or liabilities are classified.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. As such, the estimated fair value is classified as Level 1.
Interest-bearing Deposits with Banks — The fair value of interest-bearing deposits with banks generally approximates their book value due to their short maturities. In addition, due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the estimated fair value, these instruments are classified as Level 2.
Resale Agreements — The fair value of resale agreements is estimated by discounting the cash flows based on expected maturities or repricing dates utilizing estimated market discount rates. In addition, due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the estimated fair value, these instruments are classified as Level 2.hierarchy.
Held-to-Maturity Investment Security — The held-to-maturity investment security as of December 31, 2016 was comprised of a floating rate non-agency commercial mortgage-backed security that was subsequently transferred from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale during the three months ended September 30, 2017. This security was categorized under Available-for-sale investment securities — other securities as of September 30, 2017.The fair value of this security is estimated by discounting the future expected cash flows utilizing the underlying index and a discount margin. Other unobservable inputs include conditional prepayment rate, constant default rate and loss severity. Due to the significant unobservable inputs used in estimating the fair value, this security is classified as Level 3.
Available-for-Sale Investment Securities — When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities, which are classified as Level 1. Level 1 available-for-sale investment securities are primarily comprised of U.S. Treasury securities. Other than the non-agency commercial mortgage-backed security, the fair value of which is described above, theThe fair value of other available-for-sale investment securities areis generally determined by independent external pricing service providers who have experience in valuing these securities or by the average quoted market prices obtained from independent external brokers. The valuations provided by the third-party pricing service providers are based on observable market inputs, which include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, prepayment expectation and reference data obtained from market research publications. Inputs used by the third-party pricing service in valuing collateralized mortgage obligations and other securitization structures also include new issue data, monthly payment information, whole loan collateral performance, tranche evaluation, and “To Be Announced” prices. In obtaining such valuation information from third parties,valuations of securities issued by state and political subdivisions, inputs used by the third-party pricing service providers also include material event notices.
On a monthly basis, the Company reviewedvalidates the methodologiespricing provided by the third-party pricing service to ensure that the fair value determination is consistent with the applicable accounting guidance and the assets are properly classified in the fair value hierarchy. To perform this validation, the Company evaluates the fair values of securities by comparing the fair values provided by the third-party pricing service to prices from other available independent sources for the same securities. When variances in prices are identified, the Company further compares inputs used by different sources to developascertain the resulting fair values. reliability of these sources. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews documentation received from the third-party pricing service regarding the valuation inputs and methodology used for each category of securities.
The available-for-sale investment securities valued usingthird-party pricing service providers may not provide pricing for all securities. Under such methodscircumstances, the Company requests market quotes from various independent external brokers and utilizes the average market quotes. These are viewed as observable inputs in the current marketplace and are classified as Level 2.
The Company periodically communicates with the independent external brokers to validate their pricing methodology. Information such as pricing sources, pricing assumptions, data inputs and valuation technique are reviewed.
Loans Held-for-SaleEquity Securities — — The Company’s loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Loans held-for-saleEquity securities were comprised of single-family residential loansmutual funds as of September 30, 2017,both March 31, 2019 and were primarily comprised of consumer loans as of December 31, 2016.2018. The Company uses net asset value (“NAV”) information to determine the fair value of loans held-for-salethese equity securities. When NAV is derived from current market pricesavailable periodically and comparative current sales. The Company records any fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. Loans held-for-sale are classified as Level 2.
Non-PCI Impaired Loans — The fair value of non-PCI impaired loans is measured using the market comparables or discounted cash flow techniques. For CRE and C&I loans,equity securities can be put back to the fair value is based on each loan’s observable market price ortransfer agents at the publicly available NAV, the fair value of the collateral less cost to sell, ifequity securities is classified as Level 1. When NAV is available periodically but the loan is collateral dependent. Theequity securities may not be readily marketable at its periodic NAV in the secondary market, the fair value of collateral is generally based on third party appraisals (or internal evaluation if third party appraisal is not required by regulations) which utilize one or more valuation techniques (income, market and/or cost approaches). All third party appraisals and evaluations are reviewed and validated by independent appraisers or the Company’s appraisal department staffed by licensed appraisers and/or experienced real estate reviewers. The third party appraisals are ordered through the appraisal department (except for one-to-four unit residential appraisals which are typically ordered through an approved appraisal management company or an approved residential appraiser) at the inception, renewal or, for all real estate related loans, upon the occurrence of any events causing a downgrade to an adverse grade (i.e., “substandard” or “doubtful”). Updated appraisals and evaluations are generally obtained within the last 12 months. The Company increases the frequency of obtaining updated appraisals for adversely graded credits when declining market conditions exist. All appraisals include an “as is” market value without conditions as of the effective date of the appraisal. For certain impaired loans, the Company utilizes the discounted cash flow approach and applies a discount derived from historical data. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of non-PCI impaired loans are discounts applied based on the liquidation cost of collateral and selling cost. On a quarterly basis, all nonperforming assets are reviewed to assess whether the current carrying value is supported by the collateral or cash flow and to ensure that the current carrying value is appropriate. Non-PCI impaired loans are classified as Level 3.
Loans Held-for-Investment, net — The fair value of loans held-for-investment other than non-PCI impaired loans is determined based on a discounted cash flow approach considered for an exit price value. The discount rate is derived from the associated yield curve plus spreads that reflect the rates in the market for loans with similar financial characteristics. No adjustments have been made for changes in credit within any of the loan portfolios. It is management’s opinion that the allowance for loan losses pertaining to performing and nonperforming loans results in a fair value adjustment of credit for such loans. Due to the unobservable nature of the inputs used in deriving the estimated fair value, these instruments are classified as Level 3.
Other Real Estate Owned — The Company’s OREO represents properties acquired through foreclosure, or through full or partial satisfaction of loans held-for-investment, which are recorded at estimated fair value less cost to sell at the time of foreclosure and at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less the cost to sell subsequent to acquisition. The fair values of OREO properties are based on third party appraisals or accepted written offers. Refer to the Non-PCI Impaired Loans section above for a detailed discussion on the Company’s policies and procedures related to appraisals and evaluations. On a monthly basis, the current fair market value of each OREO property is reviewed to ensure that the current carrying value is appropriate. The significant unobservable input used is the selling cost. OREO properties are classified as Level 3.
Restricted Equity Securities — Restricted equity securities are comprised of Federal Reserve Bank stock and FHLB stock. Ownership of these securities is restricted to member banks and these securities do not have a readily determinable fair value. Purchases and sales of these securities are at par value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s restricted equity securities approximate fair value. The valuation of these investments is classified as Level 2.
Accrued Interest Receivable — The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Considering the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the estimated fair value, these instruments are classified as Level 2.
Interest Rate Swaps and OptionsContracts— — The Company enters into interest rate swap and option contracts with institutional counterparties to hedge against interest rate swap and option products offered to bank customers. These products allowits borrowers to lock in attractive intermediate and long-term interest rates, by entering into an interest rate swap or option contract with the Company, resulting in the customer obtaining a synthetic fixed rate loan. To economically hedge against the interest rate risks in the products offered to its customers, the Company enters into mirrored offsetting interest rate contracts with third-party financial institutions. The Company also enters into interest rate swap contracts with institutional counterparties to hedge against certificates of deposit issued. This product allows the Company to lock in attractive floating rate funding.rates. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The variable cash receipts (or payments) are based on the expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observed market interest rate curves. The fair value of the interest rate options, consistingwhich consist of floors and caps, is determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates fellfall below (rise above) the strike rate of the floors (caps). The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the floor (cap) are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. In addition, to comply with the provisions of ASC 820,Fair Value Measurement, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements of its derivatives. The credit valuation adjustments associated with the Company’s derivatives utilize model-derived credit spreads, which are Level 3 inputs, model-derived credit spreads.inputs. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of these interest rate contracts and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative portfolios. As a result, the Company classifies these derivative instruments as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy due to the observable nature of the significant inputs utilized.
Foreign Exchange Contracts— The Company enters into short-term foreign exchange contracts to purchase/sell foreign currencies at set rates inaccommodate the future. These contracts economically hedge againstbusiness needs of its customers. For a majority of the foreign exchange rate fluctuations.contracts entered into with its customers, the Company entered into offsetting foreign exchange contracts with third-party financial institutions to manage its exposure. The Company also enters into contracts with institutional counterparties to hedge againstutilizes foreign exchange products offeredcontracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to bankmitigate the economic effect of fluctuations in certain foreign currency on-balance sheet assets and liabilities, primarily foreign currency denominated deposits that it offers to its customers. These products allow customers to hedge the foreign exchange risk of their deposits and loans denominated in foreign currencies. The Company assumes minimal foreign exchange rate risk because the contracts with the customer and the institutional party mirror each other. The fair value is determined at each reporting period based on changes in the foreign exchange rate.rates. These are over-the-counter contracts where quoted market prices are not readily available. Valuation is measured using conventional valuation methodologies with observable market data. Valuation depends on the type of derivative, and the nature of the underlying rate and contractual terms including period of maturity, price and index upon which the derivative’s value is based. Key inputs include foreign exchange rates (spot and/or forward rates), volatility of currencies and the correlation of such inputs. Due to the short-term nature of the majority of these contracts, the counterparties’ credit risks are considered nominal and resultedresult in no adjustments to the valuation of the foreign exchange contracts. Due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the fair value of these contracts, the valuation of foreign exchange contracts isare classified as Level 2. As of September 30, 2017, foreign exchange forward contracts used to economically hedge the Company’s net investment in East West Bank (China) Limited, a non-U.S. Dollar (“USD”) functional currency subsidiary in China, are included in this caption. See Foreign Currency Forward Contracts in the section below for details on valuation methodologiesMarch 31, 2019 and significant assumptions.
Customer Deposits — The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing checking, savings and money market deposits, approximates the carrying amount as these deposits are payable on demand at the measurement date. Due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the estimated fair value, these instruments are classified as Level 2. For time deposits, the fair value is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows using current market rates for instruments with similar maturities. Due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the estimated fair value, time deposits are classified as Level 2.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances — The fair value of FHLB advances is estimated based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows, using rates currently offered by the FHLB of San Francisco for advances with similar remaining maturities at each reporting date. Due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the estimated fair value, these instruments are classified as Level 2.
Repurchase Agreements — The fair value of the repurchase agreements is calculated by discounting future cash flows based on expected maturities or repricing dates, utilizing estimated market discount rates and taking into consideration the call features of each instrument. Due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the estimated fair value, these instruments are classified as Level 2.
Accrued Interest Payable — The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the estimated fair value, these instruments are classified as Level 2.
Long-Term Debt — The fair value of long-term debt is estimated by discounting the cash flows through maturity based on current market ratesDecember 31, 2018, the Company would pay for new issuances. Due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the estimated fair value, long-term debt is classified as Level 2.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts — During the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company began entering intoheld foreign currency forwardswap contracts to hedge its net investment in its China subsidiary, East West Bank (China) Limited. Previously, theLimited, a non-U.S. dollar (“USD”) functional currency subsidiary in China. These foreign currency forwardswap contracts were eligible for hedge accounting. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the foreign currency forward contracts were dedesignated when the hedge relationship ceased to be highly effective. The Company continues to economically hedge its foreign currency exposure resulting from East West Bank (China) Limited and the foreign currency forward contracts are includeddesignated as part of thenet investment hedges. “Foreign Exchange Contracts” caption as of September 30, 2017. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is valued by comparing the contracted foreign exchange rate to the current market foreign exchange rate. InputsKey inputs of the current market exchange rate include spot rates and forward rates and the interest rate curves of the domestic and foreign currency. Interest ratecontractual currencies. Foreign exchange forward curves are used to determine which forward rate pertains to a specific maturity. Due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the estimated fair value, these instruments are classified as Level 2.
Credit Risk Participation Agreements Contracts —— The Company entersmay periodically enter into RPAs, under which the Company assumes its pro-rata share ofcredit risk participation agreement (“RPA”) contracts to manage the credit exposure on interest rate contracts associated with the borrower’s performance related to interest rate derivative contracts.syndicated loans. The Company may enter into protection sold or protection purchased RPAs with institutional counterparties. The fair value of RPAs is calculated by determining the total expected asset or liability exposure of the derivatives to the borrowers and applying the borrowers’ credit spread to that exposure. Total expected exposure incorporates both the current and potential future exposure of the derivatives, derived from using observable inputs, such as yield curves and volatilities. The credit spreads of the borrowers used in the calculation are estimated by the Company based on current market conditions, including consideration of current borrowing spreads for similar customers and transactions, review of existing collateralization or other credit enhancements, and changes in credit sector and entity-specific credit information. The Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value the RPAs are observable. observable. Accordingly, RPAs fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.2.
WarrantsEquity Contracts — The Company obtainedobtains equity warrants to purchase preferred and common stock of technology and life sciences companies, as part of the loan origination process. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the warrants included on the Consolidated Financial Statements were from both public and private companies. The Company valuedvalues these warrants based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For equity warrants from public companies, the model uses the underlying stock price, stated strike price, warrant expiration date, risk-free interest rate based on a duration-matched U.S. Treasury rate and market-observable company-specific option volatility as inputs to value the warrants. Due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the estimated fair value, warrants from public companies are classified as Level 2. For warrants from private companies, the model uses inputs such as the offering price observed in the most recent round of funding, stated strike price, warrant expiration date, risk-free interest rate based on duration-matched U.S. Treasury rate and option volatility. The option volatility assumption wasCompany applies proxy volatilities based on public market indices that include members that operate in similar industries as the companies in ourindustry sectors of the private company portfolio.companies. The model values were furtherare then adjusted for a general lack of liquidity due to the private nature of the underlying companies. Due to the unobservable nature of the option volatility and liquidity discount assumptions used in deriving the estimated fair value, warrants from private companies are classified as Level 3. ThereSince both option volatility and liquidity discount assumptions are subject to management judgment, measurement uncertainty is a direct correlation between changesinherent in the valuation of private companies’ equity warrants. Given that the Company holds long positions in all equity warrants, an increase in volatility assumption and thewould generally result in an increase in fair value measurement of warrants from private companies, while there is an inverse correlation between changes in themeasurement. A higher liquidity discount assumption and thewould result in a decrease in fair value measurement of warrants from private companies.measurement. On a quarterly basis, the changes in the fair value of warrants from private companies are reviewed for reasonableness, and a sensitivitymeasurement uncertainty analysis on the option volatility and liquidity discount assumptions is performed.
Commodity Contracts — The Company enters into energy commodity contracts in the form of swaps and options with its commercial loan customers to allow them to hedge against the risk of fluctuation in energy commodity prices. The fair value estimates presented hereinof the commodity option contracts is determined using the Black’s model and assumptions that include expectations of future commodity price and volatility. The future commodity contract price is derived from observable inputs such as the market price of the commodity. Commodity swaps are structured as an exchange of fixed cash flows for floating cash flows. The fixed cash flows are predetermined based on pertinent information available to managementthe known volumes and fixed price as specified in the swap agreement. The floating cash flows are correlated with the change of each reporting date. Althoughforward commodity prices, which is derived from market corroborated futures settlement prices. The fair value of the commodity swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments) based on the market prices of the commodity. As a result, the Company is not awareclassifies these derivative instruments as Level 2 due to the observable nature of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these Consolidated Financial Statements since that date, and therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.significant inputs utilized.

At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the only asset measured on a recurring basis that was classified as Level 3 was equity warrants issued by private companies. The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of these warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:

The following table presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of assets measured on a recurring basis classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2019. The significant unobservable inputs presented in the table below are those that the Company considers significant to the fair value of the Level 3 assets. The Company considers unobservable inputs to be significant if, by their exclusion, the fair value of the Level 3 assets would be impacted by a predetermined percentage change.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
From time to time, the Company may be required to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. The adjustments to fair value generally require the assets to be recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, or assessed for impairment.
Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain non-PCI loans, investments in qualified affordable housing partnerships, tax credit and other investments, OREO, and loans held-for-sale. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments result from impairment on certain non-PCI loans and investments in qualified affordable housing partnerships, tax credit and other investments, write-downs of OREO, or application of lower of cost or fair value on loans held-for-sale.
Non-PCI Impaired Loans — The Company typically adjusts the carrying amount of impaired loans when there is evidence of probable loss and when the expected fair value of the loan is less than its carrying amount. Impaired loans with specific reserves are classified as Level 3 assets. The following two methods are used to derive the fair value of impaired loans:
Discounted cash flows valuation techniques that consist of developing an expected stream of cash flows over the life of the loans and then valuing the loans at the present value by discounting the expected cash flows at a designated discount rate.
A specific reserve is established for an impaired loan based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which may take the form of real estate, inventory, equipment, contracts or guarantees. The fair value of the underlying collateral is generally based on third-party appraisals, or an internal evaluation if a third-party appraisal is not required by regulations, which utilize one or more valuation techniques such as income, market and/or cost approaches.
Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Partnerships, Tax Credit and Other Investments, Net — These investments are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, at a minimum, as well as upon the occurrence of a triggering event indicating that the investment in question is other-than-temporarily-impaired. This evaluation involves comparing the expected future tax benefits against the current carrying value of the investment. Expected future tax benefit schedules are provided by the partnerships’ general partners on a quarterly basis. Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Partnerships, Tax Credit and Other Investments are impaired when it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of the investments will not be realized through the future recognition of tax credits and other tax benefits. Investments in tax credit and other investments are classified as Level 3.
Other Real Estate Owned — The Company’s OREO represents properties acquired through foreclosure, or through full or partial satisfaction of loans held-for-investment. These OREO properties are recorded at estimated fair value less the costs to sell at the time of foreclosure or at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less the costs to sell subsequent to acquisition. On a monthly basis, the current fair market value of each OREO property is reviewed to ensure that the current carrying value is appropriate. OREO properties are classified as Level 3.

Note 5 — Securities Purchased under Resale Agreements and Sold under Repurchase Agreements
Resale Agreements
Resale agreements are recorded atas receivables for the balancescash paid based on the values at which the securities wereare acquired. The market values of the underlying securities collateralizing the related receivablereceivables of the resale agreements, including accrued interest, are monitored. Additional collateral may be requested by the Company from the counterpartycounterparties or excess collateral may be returned by the Company to the counterparties when deemed appropriate. Gross resale agreements were $1.65 billion and $2.10$1.44 billion as of September 30, 2017both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016,2018. The weighted-average yields were 2.80% and 2.52% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The weighted average interest rates were 2.30% and 1.84% as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Repurchase Agreements
Long-term repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and recorded atas liabilities based on the balancesvalues at which the securities wereare sold. TheAs of March 31, 2019, the collateral for the repurchase agreements is primarilywas comprised of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency and U.S. government sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities and U.S. government agency and U.S. government sponsored enterprise debtmortgage-backed securities. The Company may have to provide additional collateral to the counterparties, or the counterparties may return excess collateral to the Company, for the repurchase agreements aswhen necessary. Gross repurchase agreements were $450.0 million as of each of September 30, 2017both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016.2018. The weighted averageweighted-average interest rates were 3.56%5.01% and 3.15% as of September 30, 20173.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and December2018, respectively.

Balance Sheet Offsetting
The Company’s resale and repurchase agreements are transacted under legally enforceable master repurchase agreements that provide the Company, in the event of default by the counterparty, the right to liquidate securities held and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty. The Company nets resale and repurchase transactions with the same counterparty on the Consolidated Balance SheetsSheet when it has a legally enforceable master netting agreement and the transactions are eligible for netting under ASC 210-20-45.210-20-45-11, Balance Sheet Offsetting: Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Collateral acceptedreceived includes securities that are not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.Sheet. Collateral pledged consists of securities that are not netted on the Consolidated Balance SheetsSheet against the related collateralized liability. Collateral acceptedreceived or pledged in resale and repurchase agreements with other financial institutions may also be sold or re-pledged by the secured party, but is usually delivered to and held by the third partythird-party trustees. The collateral amounts received/postedpledged are limited for presentation purposes to the related recognized asset/liability balance for each counterparty, and accordingly, do not include excess collateral received/pledged.

The Company recognizes all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance SheetsSheet at fair value. While the Company designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship, other derivatives consist of economic hedges.

Credit Quality Indicators
All loans are subject to the Company’s internal and external credit review and monitoring.

For single-family residential loans,the majority of the consumer portfolio, payment performance/delinquency is the driving indicator for the risk ratings.

The Company utilizes a risk rating system, which can be classifiedclassifies loans within the following categories: Pass, Watch, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. The risk ratings reflect the relative strength of the repayment sources.
Pass and Watch loans are generally considered toloans that have sufficient sources of repayment in order to repay the loan in full in accordance with all terms and conditions. Special Mention loans are considered toloans that have potential weaknesses that warrant closer attention by management. Special Mention is considered a transitory grade. If the potential weaknesses are resolved, the loan is upgraded to a Pass or Watch grade. If negative trends in the borrower’s financial status or other information indicate that the repayment sources may become inadequate, the loan is downgraded to a Substandard grade. Substandard loans are considered toloans that have well-defined weaknesses that may jeopardize the full and timely repayment of the loan. Substandard loans have a distinct possibility of loss, if the deficiencies are not corrected. Additionally, whenWhen management has assessed a potential for loss but a distinct possibility of loss is not recognizable, the loan is stillremains classified as Substandard.Substandard grade. Doubtful loans are loans that have insufficient sources of repayment and a high probability of loss. Loss loans are considered to beloans that are uncollectible and of such little value that they are no longer considered bankable assets. These internal risk ratings are reviewed routinely and adjusted based on changes in the borrowers’ financial status and the loans’ collectability.

Impaired Loans
The Company’s loans are grouped into heterogeneous and homogeneous (mostly consumer loans) categories. Classified loans in the heterogeneous category are identified and evaluated for impairment on an individual basis. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all scheduled payments of principal or interest due in accordance with the original contractual terms. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent, less costs to sell. When the value of an impaired loan is less than the recorded investment and the loan is classified as nonperforming and uncollectible, the deficiency is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans exclude the homogeneous consumer loan portfolio, which is evaluated collectively for impairment. The Company’s impaired loans include predominantly non-PCI loans held-for-investment on nonaccrual status and any non-PCI loans modified in a TDR, which may be on accrual or nonaccrual status.

Purchased Credit ImpairedCredit-Impaired Loans
At the date of acquisition, PCI loans are pooled and accounted for at fair value, which represents the discounted value of the expected cash flows of the loan portfolio. A pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single interest rate, cumulative loss rate and cash flowflows expectation. The cash flows expected over the life of the pools are estimated by an internal cash flowflows model that projects cash flows and calculates the carrying values of the pools, book yields, effective interest income and impairment, if any, based on pool level events. Assumptions as to cumulative loss rates, loss curves and prepayment speeds are utilized to calculate the expected cash flows. The amount of expected cash flows over the initial investment in the loan represents the “accretable yield,” which is recognized as interest income on a level yield basis over the life of the loan. PrepaymentsProjected loss rates and prepayment speeds affect the estimated life of PCI loans, which may change the amount of interest income, and possibly principal, expected to be collected. The excess of total contractual cash flows over the cash flows expected to be receivedcollected at originationacquisition, considering the impact of prepayments, is deemedreferred to beas the “nonaccretable difference.”

$30.9 million and $31.2 million of equity securities with readily determinable fair values were included in Investments in tax credit and other investments, net, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These equity securities are CRA investments and were measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in net income. The Company recorded unrealized gains on these equity securities of $392 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and unrealized losses of $454 thousand for the same period in 2018.
The Company has previously invested in mobile solar generators sold and managed by DC Solar, which were included in Investments in tax credit and other investments, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For reasons that were not known or knowable to the Company, DC Solar had its assets frozen in December 2018. DC Solar filed for bankruptcy protection in February 2019. In February 2019, an affidavit from a Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) special agent stated that DC Solar was operating a fraudulent "Ponzi-like scheme" and that the majority of mobile solar generators sold to investors and managed by DC Solar and the majority of the related lease revenues claimed to have been received by DC Solar may not have existed. Certain investors in DC Solar, including the Company, received tax credits for making these renewable resource investments. The Company has claimed tax credit benefits of approximately $53.9 million in the Consolidated Financial Statements between 2014 through 2018. If the allegations set forth in the declaration filed by the FBI are proven to be accurate, up to the entire amount of the tax credits claimed by the Company could potentially be disallowed. The Company has fully written off the tax credit investments related to DC Solar in the first quarter of 2019 and recorded a pre-tax $7.0 million impairment charge, which is included in Amortization of tax credit and other investments was $66.1 million and $60.8 million for on the nineConsolidated Statement of Income during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019. Based on the information known as of March 31, 2019, the Company believes that it has not met the more-likely-than-not criterion to recognize an uncertain tax position liability under ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company continues to closely monitor the progress of the allegations set forth in the FBI declaration, and 2016, respectively.it is reasonably possible that an uncertain tax position will be required for at least part, if not potentially all, of the tax credit benefits the Company has claimed.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company invests in unconsolidated limited partnerships and similar entities that construct, own and operate affordable housing, historic rehabilitation projects, wind and solar projects, of which the majority of such investments are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). As a limited partner in these partnerships, these investments are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits and tax benefits. An unrelated third party is typically the general partner or managing member who has control over the significant activities of such investments. While the Company’s interest in some of the investments may exceed 50% of the outstanding equity interests, the Company does not consolidate these structures due to the general partner or managing partner’s ability to manage the entity, which is indicative of power in them. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss in connection with these partnerships consist of the unamortized investment balance and any tax credits claimed subject to recapture.
Special purpose entities formed in connection with securitization transactions are generally considered VIEs. The Company is the servicer of the multifamily residential loans it has securitized in the first quarter of 2016. The Company does not consolidate the multifamily securitization entity because it does not have power and does not have a variable interest that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Note 11 — Leases
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and all subsequent related ASUs using the alternative transition method with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings without revising comparable prior periods’ financial information. As both a lessee and lessor, the Company elected the package of practical expedients available for leases that commenced before the adoption date where the Company need not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) the initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases (i.e., whether those costs qualify for capitalization). The Company also elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term and in assessing impairment on the Company’s right-of-use assets, and the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components, consistently across all leases.
Leases - Lessee
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. The Company leases certain retail banking branches and office spaces in the U.S. and Greater China under operating leases. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 128 operating leases with lease expiration in the years ranging from 2019 to 2030, exclusive of renewal options. Certain operating leases include options to extend the leases for up to 15 years, while some of which include options to terminate the leases after four to five years of occupancy. The Company's measurement of the operating lease liability and right-of-use asset does not include payments associated with the options to extend or terminate the lease since it is not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company also has equipment and air rights finance leases. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has four finance leases with lease expiration in the years ranging from 2021 to 2047.
A portion of the operating leases includes variable lease payments that are primarily based on the usage of the asset or the consumer price index ("CPI") as specified in the lease agreements. The Company does not remeasure lease liabilities as a result of changes to variable lease payments. As most of the Company’s operating and financing leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) based on the information available at the later of adoption date or lease commencement date is used in determining the present value of future payments. The FHLB of San Francisco secured advance rate, effected for the Company’s borrowing capacity ratio, and the rate of interest on the unsecured borrowings are blended in a weighted average calculation to arrive at the Company’s IBR that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

Leases - Lessor
The Company provides equipment financing leases to its commercial customers. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has 106 direct finance leases with expiration in the years ranging from 2019 to 2027, exclusive of renewal options. Some of the leases include options to extend leases for up to one year, and some include early buy out options for the lessee to purchase the equipment before the end of the contract. All equipment leases include options to purchase the underlying assets. As the Company is not reasonably certain at lease commencement that the purchase options will be exercised by the lessees, the lease terms exclude the purchase option.
The unguaranteed residual value is recorded at the present value of the amount the Company expects to derive from the underlying asset following the end of the lease term that is not guaranteed by the lessee or any third party, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease. The guaranteed residual value is included in Loans held-for-investment on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, measured on a discounted basis. The Company utilizes residual value insurance on equipment as a risk management strategy for residual assets.

Loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customercustomers provided that there are no violations of any conditions established in the agreement. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require maintenance of compensatory balances. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future funding requirements.
Commercial letters of credit are issued to facilitate domestic and foreign trade transactions, while SBLCs are generally contingent upon the failure of the customers to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party. As a result, the total contractual amounts do not necessarily represent future funding requirements. The Company’s historical experience is that SBLCs typically expire without being funded. Additionally, in many cases, the Company holds collateral in various forms against these SBLCs. As a part of its risk management activities, the Company monitors the creditworthiness of customers in conjunction with its SBLC exposure. Customers are obligated to reimburse the Company for any payment made on the customers’ behalf. If the customers fail to pay, the Company would, as applicable, liquidate the collateral and/or offset accounts. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, total letters of credit which amounted to $1.76of $1.81 billion were comprised of SBLCs of $1.70$1.73 billion and commercial letters of credit of $59.1$71.4 million.
The Company usesapplies the same credit underwriting criteria in extending loans, commitments and conditional obligations to customers. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Collateral and financial guarantees may be obtained based on management’s assessment of the customer’s credit. Collateral may include cash, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial property.
Estimated exposure to loss from these commitments is included in the allowance for unfunded credit reserves, and amounted to $14.0$14.4 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and $15.7$12.4 million as of December 31, 2016.2018. These amounts are included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.Sheet.

Litigation —— The Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the course of its business. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies,, the Company accrues reserves for outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings when a loss contingency is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company estimates the amount of loss contingencies using current available information from legal proceedings, advice from legal counsel and available insurance coverage. Due to the inherent subjectivity of the assessments and unpredictability of the outcomes of the legal proceedings, any amounts accrued or included in this aggregate amount may not represent the ultimate loss to the Company from the legal proceedings in question. Thus, the Company’s exposure and ultimate losses may be higher, and possibly significantly more than the amounts accrued.
Other Commitments —— The Company has commitments to invest in qualified affordable housing partnerships, tax credit and other investments as discussed in Note 9 — Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Partnerships, Tax Credit and Other Investments, Net and Variable Interest Entitiesto the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1) | Primarily represents revenue from contracts with customers that are out of the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. |
Generally, the Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers when it satisfies its performance obligations. The Company’s performance obligations are typically satisfied as services are rendered. The Company generally records contract liabilities, or deferred revenue, when payments from customers are received or due in advance of providing services. The Company records contract assets when services are provided to customers before payment is received or before payment is due. Since the Company receives payments for its services during the period or at the time services are provided, there were no contract asset or receivable balances as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
The major revenue streams by fee type that are within the scope of ASC 606 presented in the above tables are described in additional detail below:
Deposit Account Fees — Deposit Service Charges and Related Fee Income
The Company offers a range of deposit products to individuals and businesses, which includes savings, money market, checking and time deposit accounts. The deposit account services include ongoing account maintenance, as well as certain optional services such as automated teller machine usage, wire transfer services or check orders. In addition, treasury management and business account analysis services are offered to commercial deposit customers. The Company may charge a fixed monthly account maintenance fee if certain average balances are not maintained, therefore making the fee variable. In addition, each time a deposit customer selects an optional service, the Company may earn transactional fees, generally recognized by the Company at the point in time when the transaction occurs. For business analysis accounts, commercial deposit customers receive an earnings credit based on their account balance, which can be used to offset the cost of banking and treasury management services. Business analysis accounts that are assessed fees in excess of earnings credits received are typically charged at the end of each month, after all transactions are known and the credits are calculated.
Deposit Account Fees — Card Income
Card income is comprised of merchant referral fees and interchange income. For merchant referral fees, the Company provides marketing and referral services to acquiring banks for merchant card processing services and earns variable referral fees based on transaction activities. The Company satisfies its performance obligation over time as the Company identifies, solicits, and refers business customers who are provided such services. The Company receives monthly fees net of consideration it pays to the acquiring bank performing the merchant card processing services. The Company recognizes revenue on a monthly basis when the uncertainty associated with the variable referral fees is resolved after the Company receives monthly statements from the acquiring bank. For interchange income, the Company, as a card issuer, has a stand ready performance obligation to authorize, clear, and settle card transactions. The Company earns, or pays, interchange fees, which are percentage-based on each transaction, and based on rates published by the corresponding payment network for transactions processed using their network. The Company measures its progress toward the satisfaction of its performance obligation over time, as services are rendered, and the Company provides continuous access to this service and settles transactions as its customer, the payment network, requires. Interchange income is presented net of direct costs paid to the customer and entities in their distribution chain, which are transaction-based expenses such as rewards program expenses and certain network costs. Revenue is recognized when the net profit is determined by the payment networks at the end of each day.
Wealth Management Fees
The Company employs financial consultants to provide investment planning services for customers including wealth management services, asset allocation strategies, portfolio analysis and monitoring, investment strategies, and risk management strategies. The fees the Company earns are variable and are generally received monthly. The Company recognizes revenue for the services performed at quarter-end based on actual transaction details received from the broker-dealer the Company engages.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
The Company applies the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 and does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations as the Company’s contracts with customers generally have a term that is less than one year, are open-ended with a cancellation period that is less than one year, or allow the Company to recognize revenue in the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice.
In addition, given the short-term nature of the contracts, the Company also applies the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-32-18 and does not adjust the consideration from customers for the effects of a significant financing component, if at contract inception the period between when the entity transfers the goods or services and when the customer pays for that good or service is one year or less.
Note 1214 — Stock Compensation Plans
Pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, the Company may issue stocks, stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSAs”RSUs”), RSUs, stock appreciation rights, stock purchase warrants, phantom stock and dividend equivalents to certaineligible employees, consultants, other service providers, and non-employee directors of the Company and its subsidiaries.

RSUs —RSUs are granted under the Company’s long-term incentive plan at no cost to the recipient. RSUs vest ratably over three years or cliff vest after three or five years of continued employment from the date of the grant. RSUs are authorized to settle predominantly in shares of the Company’s common stock. Certain RSUs will be settled in cash that subject these RSUs to variable accounting whereby compensation expense is adjusted to fair value based on changes in the Company’s stock price up to the settlement date. RSUs entitle the recipient to receive cash dividends equivalentdividend equivalents to any dividends paid on the underlying common stock during the period the RSUs are outstanding. RSU dividends are accrued during the vesting period and are paid at the time of vesting. While a portion of RSUs are time-vesting awards, others vest subject to the attainment of specified performance goals referred to as “Performance-based RSUs.” All RSUs are subject to forfeiture until vested.
Performance-based RSUs are granted at the target amount of awards. Based on the Company’s attainment of specified performance goals and consideration of market conditions, the number of shares that vest can be adjusted to a minimum of zero and to a maximum of 200% of the target. The amount of performance-based RSUs that are eligible to vest is determined at the end of each performance period and is then added together to determine the total number of performance shares that are eligible to vest. Performance-based RSUs cliff vest three years from the date of each grant.
Compensation costs for the time-based awards that will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock are based on the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. Compensation costs for certain time-based awards that will be settled in cash are adjusted to fair value based on changes in the share price of the Company’s common stock up to the settlement date. Compensation costs associated with performance-based RSUs are based on grant date fair value which considers both market and performance conditions, and is subject to subsequent adjustments based on the changes in the Company’s stock price and the projected outcome of the performance criteria. Compensation costs of both time-based awards and performance-based awards are recognized on a straight-line basis from the grant date until the vesting date of each grant.

The Company utilizes an internal reporting system to measure the performance of variousorganizes its operations into three reportable operating segments within the Banksegments: (1) Consumer and the Company. The Company has identified three operating segments for purposes of management reporting: (1) RetailBusiness Banking; (2) Commercial Banking; and (3) Other. These three business segments meet the criteria of an operating segment: the segment engages in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses; its operating results are regularly revieweddefined by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker to render decisions about resources to be allocated totype of customers and the segmentsrelated products and assess its performance;services provided, and discretereflect how financial information is available.
The Retail Banking segment focuses primarily on retail operations through the Bank’s branch network. The Commercial Banking segment, which includes C&I and CRE operations, primarily generates commercial loans and deposits through the bank’s commercial lending offices. Furthermore, the Company’s Commercial Banking segment offers a wide variety of international finance, trade finance, and cash management services and products. The remaining centralized functions, including treasury activities and eliminations of inter-segment amounts, have been aggregated and included in the “Other” segment, which provides broad administrative support to the two core segments.

Operating segment results are based on the Company’s internal management reporting process, which reflects assignments and allocations of certain operatingbalance sheet and income statement items. Because of the interrelationships among the segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities.
The Consumer and Business Banking segment primarily provides financial products and services to consumer and commercial customers through the Company’s domestic branch network. This segment offers consumer and commercial deposits, mortgage and home equity loans, and other products and services. The Consumer and Business Banking segment also originates commercial loans for small and medium-sized enterprises through the Company’s branch network. Other products and services provided by the Consumer and Business Banking segment include wealth management, treasury management, and foreign exchange services.
The Commercial Banking segment primarily generates commercial loans and deposits. Commercial loan products include commercial business loans and lines of credit, trade finance loans and letters of credit, CRE loans, construction lending, affordable housing loans and letters of credit, asset-based lending, and equipment financing. Commercial deposit products and other financial services include treasury management, foreign exchange services, and interest rate and commodity hedging risk management.
The remaining centralized functions, including the treasury activities of the Company and eliminations of inter-segment amounts, have been aggregated and included in the Other segment, which provides broad administrative costssupport to the two core segments, the Consumer and Business Banking and the provisionCommercial Banking segments.
The Company utilizes an internal reporting process to measure the performance of the three operating segments within the Company. The internal reporting process derives operating segment results by utilizing allocation methodologies for credit losses.revenue and expenses. Net interest income is allocated basedof each segment represents the difference between actual interest earned on assets and interest incurred on liabilities of the segment, adjusted for funding charges or credits through the Company’s internal funds transfer pricing system, which assignsprocess. The process charges a cost of funds or a creditto fund loans and allocates credits for funds to assets or liabilitiesprovided from deposits using internal funds transfer pricing rates, which are based on their type, maturity or repricing characteristics.

When market interest rates increase, costs charged to the related business segment.

The provisiontreasury function within the Other segment is responsible for credit lossesliquidity and interest rate management of the Company. Therefore, the net spread between the total internal funds transfer pricing charges and credits is allocated based on actual charge-offs forrecorded as part of net interest income in the period as well as average loan balances for each segment during the period.

The internal funds transfer pricing process is formulated with the goal of encouraging loan and deposit growth that is consistent with the Company’s overall profitability objectives, as well as to provide a reasonable and consistent basis for the measurement of the Company’sits business segments and productsegments’ net interest margins.margins and profitability. The Company’s internal funds transfer pricing assumptions and methodologies are reviewed at least annually to ensure that the process is reflective of current market conditions. Noninterest income and noninterest expense directly attributable to a segment are assigned to the related business segment. Indirect costs, including technology-related costs and corporate overhead, are allocated based on that segment’s estimated usage using factors, including but not limited to, full-time equivalent employees, net interest margin, and loan and deposit volume. Charge-offs are allocated to the respective segment directly associated with the loans that are charged off, and the remaining provision for credit losses is allocated to each segment based on loan volume. The Company’s internal reporting process utilizes a full-allocation methodology. Under this methodology, corporate expenses and indirect expenses incurred by the Other segment are allocated to the Consumer and Business Banking and the Commercial Banking segments, except certain treasury-related expenses and insignificant unallocated expenses.
ChangesDuring the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company enhanced its segment cost allocation methodology related to stock compensation expense and bonus accrual. Effective the first quarter of 2019, stock compensation expense is allocated to the respective segments, while it was previously recorded in the Company’s management structure or reporting methodologies may result in changes inOther segment as a corporate expense.

Net income increased $22.5 million or 20% to $132.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $110.1 million for the same period in 2016. Diluted EPS was $0.91 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $0.15 or 20% from the prior year period. Net income increased $99.8 million or 31% to $420.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $320.9 million for the same period in 2016. Diluted EPS was $2.88 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $0.67 or 30% from the prior year period. As discussed in Note 3 — Dispositions to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company completed the sale and leaseback of a commercial property, which resulted in an after-tax net gain of $41.5 million recorded during the first quarter of 2017. Additionally, the Company sold its insurance brokerage business, EWIS, and recorded an after-tax net gain of $2.2 million during the third quarter of 2017. Excluding the net gains on the sales of the commercial property and EWIS’s business during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“non-GAAP”) net income of $377.0 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $2.58 increased $56.1 million and $0.37 per share, respectively, from the same prior year period (see reconciliations of non-GAAP measures used below under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”).
Revenue, or the sum of net interest income before provision for credit losses and noninterest income, increased $49.3 million or 16% to $352.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017, from $303.5 million during the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily due to a $49.0 million increase in net interest income, reflecting the growth in the loan portfolio and the positive impact of short-term interest rate increases in 2017. Revenue increased $184.4 million or 21% to $1.08 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from $894.1 million during the same period in 2016. This increase was due to a $105.4 million increase in net interest income, reflecting the growth in the loan portfolio and the positive impact of short-term interest rate increases in 2017; and a $78.9 million increase in noninterest income, primarily due to the $71.7 million pre-tax gain recognized from the sale of the commercial property during the first quarter of 2017 and the $3.8 million pre-tax gain recognized from the sale of EWIS’s business.
Noninterest expense was $164.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $6.0 million or 4% from $170.5 million for the same period in 2016. This decrease was largely driven by lower amortization expense of tax credits and other investments and lower legal expense, partially offset by an increase in compensation and employee benefits. Noninterest expense was $486.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $20.7 million or 4% from $466.0 million for the same period in 2016. This increase was largely driven by higher compensation and employee benefits and amortization expense of tax credit and other investments, partially offset by lower consulting and legal expenses.
Strong returns on average assets and average equity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 reflected the Company’s ability to achieve higher profitability while expanding the loan and deposit base. The return on average assets increased 13 basis points to 1.46% while the return on average equity increased 93 basis points to 14.01% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. The return on average assets increased 28 basis points to 1.59% while the return on average equity increased 238 basis points to 15.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. Excluding the impact of the after-tax gains on the sales of the commercial property and EWIS’s business that were recognized in the first and third quarters of 2017, respectively, non-GAAP return on average assets was 1.43% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a 12 basis point increase from the same prior year period, while non-GAAP return on average equity was 13.89% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a 77 basis point increase from the same prior year period. (See reconciliations of non-GAAP measures used below under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.)
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company’s unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirement.
The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance. Management believes that excluding the non-recurring after-tax effect of the gains on sales of the commercial property and EWIS’s business from net income, diluted EPS, and returns on average assets and average equity, will make it easier to analyze the results by presenting them on a more comparable basis. However, note that these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or preferable to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The following table presents a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

A discussion of net interest income, noninterest income, noninterest expense, income taxes and operating segment results are presented below.
Net Interest Income
The Company’s primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on loans, investment securities, resale agreements and other interest-earning assets lessand interest expense paid on customer deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreements (“repurchase agreements”), borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing the annualizedratio of net interest income byto average interest-earning assets. Net interest income and net interest margin are affectedimpacted by several factors, including changes in average balances and composition of interest-earning assets and funding sources, market interest rate fluctuations and slope of the yield curve, repricing characteristics and maturity of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, volume of noninterest-bearing sources of funds and asset quality.
Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2017first quarter of 2019 was $303.2$362.5 million, an increase of $49.0$35.8 million or 19%11%, compared to $254.1$326.7 million for the same period in 2016.2018. The increase was primarily due to the expansion of loan yields and loan growth, partially offset by a higher cost of funds. Net interest incomemargin for the nine months ended September 30, 2017first quarter of 2019 was $865.4 million, an3.79%, a six basis point increase of $105.4 million or 14% compared to $759.9 millionfrom 3.73% for the same period in 2016. The notable increases in net interest income2018.
Average loan yield for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same periods in 2016, were primarily due to increased interest income resulting from loan growth and higher yields on interest-earning assets, partially offset byfirst quarter of 2019 was 5.30%, a 16 and 1261 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.60% and 0.55% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 0.44% and 0.43% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, net interest margin increased to 3.52%, compared to 3.26%from 4.69% for the same period in 2016. For2018. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, netaverage loan yield in 2019 reflected the upward repricing of the Company’s loan portfolio in response to rising interest margin increased to 3.45%, compared to 3.29%rates. Average loans of $32.41 billion for the same period in 2016. The increases in net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were due to higher yields from interest-earning assets (primarily due to an increase in loan yields for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same prior year period, and primarily due to increases in yieldsfirst quarter of loans, interest-bearing cash and deposits with banks and investment securities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017), as a result of the short-term interest rate increases in 2017. The higher loan yields for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were partially offset by lower accretion income from the purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans accounted for under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, total accretion income from loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 was $4.5 million and $14.0 million, respectively, compared to $7.1 million and $33.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2016.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, average interest-earning assets2019 increased $3.15$3.20 billion or 10% to $34.21 billion11% from $31.06$29.21 billion for the same period in 2016.2018.

Average interest-earning assets of $38.75 billion for the first quarter of 2019 increased $3.23 billion or 9% from $35.51 billion for the same period in 2018. This increase was primarily due to increases of $3.22$3.20 billion or 13% in average loans and $751.0$254.9 million or 47% in average interest-bearing cash and deposits with banks, partially offset by decreases of $508.2$212.0 million or 28% in average available-for-sale investment securities and $15.0 million in average securities purchased under resale agreements and $310.7 million or 9% in average investment securities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, average interest-earning assets increased $2.73 billion or 9% to $33.54 billion from $30.81 billion for the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily due to increases of $2.78 billion or 12% in average loans, and $305.1 million or 17% in average interest-bearing cash and deposits with banks, partially offset by a $228.3 million or 7% decrease in average investment securities.(“resale agreements”).

The ratiocost of averagefunds was 1.15% and 0.56% for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The higher cost of funds was due to a shift in deposit mix from noninterest-bearing demand deposits to totalinterest-bearing checking and time deposits, as well as an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits. The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased to 34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, from 32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income increased $283 thousand or 1% to $49.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $49.3 million for the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily due to a $3.8 million increase in net gain on sale of EWIS’s business and an $872 thousand increase in derivative fees and other income, partially offset by a $4.0 million decrease in other fees and operating income. Noninterest income increased $78.9 million or 59% to $213.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $134.1 million for the same period in 2016. This increase was comprised of a $71.2 million increase in net gains on sales of fixed assets, primarily related to the sale of a commercial property, and a $3.8 million increase in net gain on the sale of EWIS’s business, partially offset by a $4.5 million decrease in other fees and operating income. Noninterest income represented 14% and 20% of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 16% and 15%, respectively, for the same periods in 2016.

The following provides a discussion of the major changes in noninterest expense and the factors contributing to the changes.regulatory assessments.
Compensation and employee benefits increased $4.5$7.1 million or 6%7% to $79.6$102.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $75.0 million for the same period in 2016, and increased $24.8 million or 11% to $244.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $220.2 million for the same period in 2016. The increases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 werefirst quarter of 2019, primarily attributable to an increase in headcountthe annual employee merit increases and staffing growth to support the Company’s growing business and risk management and compliance requirements, as well as additional severance expenses.business.
Deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments decreased $3.2 million or 51% to $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to lower Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assessment rates due to the removal of the temporary surcharge imposed on large banks, which was effective October 1, 2018.
Other operating expense primarily consists of marketing, telecommunication and postage expenses, travel, charitable contributions and other miscellaneous expense categories. The $4.7 million or 27% increase to $22.3 million for the first quarter of 2019, was primarily due to increases in marketing and other real estate owned (“OREO”) expense.
Amortization of tax credit and other investments decreased $8.8 million or 27% to $23.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $32.6 million for the same period in 2016, and increased $5.3 million or 9% to $66.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $60.8 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in the third quarter of 2017, compared with the prior year period, was mainly driven by higher amortization, which resulted from a renewable energy tax credit investment newly placed in service in the third quarter of 2016. Likewise, the increase in the first nine months of 2017, compared with the prior year period, was primarily driven by additional renewable energy and historical rehabilitation tax credit investments placed in service during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Legal expense decreased $2.0 million or 38% to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $5.4 million for the same period in 2016, and decreased $3.8 million or 30% to $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $12.7 million for the same period in 2016. The decreases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were predominantly due to lower legal fees and litigation expense following the resolution of previously outstanding litigation.
Consulting expense decreased $507 thousand or 11% to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $4.6 million for the same period in 2016, and decreased $8.3$7.5 million or 43% to $10.8$24.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, comparedfirst quarter of 2019. The Company has fully written off the tax credit investments related to $19.0DC Solar and recorded a $7.0 million for the same periodimpairment charge, which is included in 2016.

The effective tax rate was 24.3% and 25.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to 10.8% and 21.9%, respectively, for the same periods in 2016. |

Fortax credit projects in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, tax credits generated from these investments were $40.0 million and $106.4 million, respectively, compared to $33.3 million and $83.7 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2016. In addition, thefirst quarter. The lower effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were further reduced by the adoptionrate of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, beginning January 1, 2017.

Management regularly reviews the Company’s tax positions and deferred tax assets. Factors considered in this analysis include the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income, implement tax-planning strategies and utilize taxable income from prior carryback years (if such carryback is permitted under the applicable tax law), as well as future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach, the objective of which is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized and settled. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $142.0 million and $129.7 million, respectively.
A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of all positive evidence against all negative evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance is used, as needed, to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Management has concluded that it is more likely than not that all of the benefits of the deferred tax assets will be realized, with the exception of the deferred tax assets related to net operating losses in certain states. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded for these amounts. The Company believes that adequate provisions have been made for all income tax uncertainties consistent with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes.
Operating Segment Results
The Company definesorganizes its operating segments based on its core strategy and has identifiedoperations into three reportable operating segments: Retail Banking,(1) Consumer and Business Banking; (2) Commercial BankingBanking; and (3) Other.
The RetailConsumer and Business Banking segment focuses primarily on retail operationsprovides financial products and services to consumer and commercial customers through the Bank’sCompany’s domestic branch network. This segment offers consumer and commercial deposits, mortgage and home equity loans, and other products and services. The Consumer and Business Banking segment also originates commercial loans for small and medium-sized enterprises through the Company’s branch network. Other products and services provided by the Consumer and Business Banking segment include wealth management, treasury management, and foreign exchange services.
The Commercial Banking segment which includes commercial and industrial (“C&I”) and commercial real estate (“CRE”) operations, primarily generates commercial loans and deposits through domesticdeposits. Commercial loan products include commercial lending offices located in California, New York, Texas, Washington, Massachusetts, Nevadabusiness loans and Georgia, and foreign commercial lending offices located in China and Hong Kong. Furthermore, the Commercial Banking segment offers a wide varietylines of international finance,credit, trade finance loans and cashletters of credit, CRE loans, construction lending, affordable housing loans and letters of credit, asset-based lending, and equipment financing. Commercial deposit products and other financial services include treasury management, foreign exchange services, and products. interest rate and commodity hedging risk management.
The remaining centralized functions, including the treasury activities of the Company and eliminations of inter-segment amounts, have been aggregated and included in the “Other”Other segment, which provides broad administrative support to the two core segments, the Consumer and Business Banking and the Commercial Banking segments.
ChangesThe Company utilizes an internal reporting process to measure the performance of the three operating segments within the Company. The internal reporting process derives operating segment results by utilizing allocation methodologies for revenue and expenses. Net interest income of each segment represents the difference between actual interest earned on assets and interest incurred on liabilities of the segment, adjusted for funding charges or credits through the Company’s internal funds transfer pricing process. The process charges a cost to fund loans (“FTP charges from loans”) and allocates credits for funds provided from deposits (“FTP credits for deposits”) using internal funds transfer pricing rates, which are based on market interest rates and other factors. When market interest rates increase, costs charged to the segments to fund the loans increase correspondingly, in addition to the credits allocated to the segments for deposit balances, and vice versa. The treasury function within the Other segment is responsible for liquidity and interest rate management of the Company. Therefore, the net spread between the total internal funds transfer pricing charges and credits is recorded as part of net interest income in the Company’s management structure or reporting methodologies may result in changes in the measurement of operating segment results. Results for prior periods are generally restated for comparability when there are changes in management structure or reporting methodologies, unless it is deemed not practicable to do so.Other segment.
The Company’s internal funds transfer pricing process is managed by the treasury function within the Other segment. The process is formulated with the goal of encouraging loan and deposit growth that is consistent with the Company’s overall profitability objectives, as well as to provide a reasonable and consistent basis for the measurement of its business segments and productsegments’ net interest margins.margins and profitability. The Company’s internal funds transfer pricing assumptions and methodologies are reviewed at least annually to ensure that the process is reflective of current market conditions. Noninterest income and noninterest expense directly attributable to a segment are assigned to the related business segment. Indirect costs, including technology-related costs and corporate overhead, are allocated based on that segment’s estimated usage using factors, including but not limited to, full-time equivalent employees, net interest margin, and loan and deposit volume. Charge-offs are allocated to the respective segment directly associated with the loans that are charged off, and the remaining provision for credit losses is allocated to each segment based on loan volume. The Company’s internal reporting process utilizes a full-allocation methodology. Under this methodology, corporate expenses and indirect expenses incurred by the Other segment are allocated to the Consumer and Business Banking and the Commercial Banking segments, except certain treasury-related expenses and insignificant unallocated expenses.
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company enhanced its segment cost allocation methodology related to stock compensation expense and bonus accrual. Effective first quarter 2019, stock compensation expense is allocated to the respective segments, while it was previously recorded in the Other segment as a corporate expense. In addition, bonus expense is now allocated at a more granular level at the segment level. For comparability, segment information for the first quarter of 2018 have been restated to conform to the current period presentation. Note 1517 — Business Segments to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes the Company’s segment reporting methodology and the business activities of each business segment, andin this Form 10-Q presents more detailed financial results of these business segments for the threefirst quarter of 2019 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.2018.

The increase in net charge-offs compared to the same period in 2018 was mainly attributable to the charge-offs in the C&I portfolio due to a combination of deterioration in collateral value and borrower cash flows. The loan portfolio growth and decline in historical loss rates were driven by the continued improvement in the U.S. economy and labor markets and proactive credit risk management.

Asset Liability and Market Risk Management
Liquidity
Liquidity refers to the Company’s abilityis a financial institution’s capacity to meet its contractualdeposit and contingent financialother counterparties’ obligations on or off-balance sheet, as they become due.come due or obtain adequate funding at a reasonable cost to meet those obligations. The Company’s primaryobjective of liquidity management objective is to provide sufficient funding for its businesses throughout market cyclesmanage the potential mismatch of asset and be ableliability cash flows. Maintaining an adequate level of liquidity depends on the institution’s ability to manageefficiently meet both expected and unexpected cash flowflows and collateral needs and requirements without adversely impactingaffecting either daily operations or the financial healthcondition of the Company.institution. To achieve this objective, the Company analyzes its liquidity risk, maintains readily available liquid assets and accessesutilizes diverse funding sources including its stable core deposit base. The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) sets the liquidity guidelines that govern the day-to-day active management of the Company’s liquidity position. The ALCO regularly monitors the Company’s liquidity status and related management processes, and provides regular reports to the Board.Board of Directors.
The Company maintains its liquidity in the form of cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing deposits with banks, short-term resale agreements and available-for-saleunpledged investment securities. These assets, which includes the Company’s reserve requirement of $624.6 million, totaled $5.10$6.49 billion and $5.54 billion, accountingaccounted for 14% and 16%15% of total assets as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019. In comparison, these assets, which includes the Company’s reserve requirement of $707.3 million,totaled $6.05 billion and accounted for 15% of total assets as of December 31, 2016, respectively. 2018. Investment securities included as part of liquidity sources are primarily comprised of mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government agency and U.S. government sponsored enterprises, as well as the U.S. Treasury securities. The Company believes these investment securities provide quick sources of liquidity through sales or pledging to obtain financing, regardless of market conditions. In particular, the Company deemed cash and cash equivalents, and unencumbered high quality liquid securities as the Company’s primary source of liquidity. Traditional forms of funding such as customer depositsdeposit growth and borrowings augment these liquid assets. Total customer deposits amounted to $31.31$36.27 billion as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, compared to $29.89$35.44 billion as of December 31, 2016,2018, of which core deposits comprised 81%73% and 74% of total deposits as of each of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016. 2018, respectively.
As a means of augmenting the Company’s liquidity, the Company maintains available borrowing capacity under secured borrowing lines with the FHLB and FRB,Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”), unsecured federal funds’funds lines of credit with various correspondent banks for purchase of overnight funds, and several master repurchase agreements with major brokerage companies. The Company’s available borrowing capacity with the FHLB and FRB was $6.45$6.03 billion and $3.23$3.01 billion, respectively, as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. Unencumbered loans and/or securities were pledged to the FHLB and FRB discount window as collateral. Eligibility of collateral is defined in guidelines from the FHLB and FRB and is subject to change at their discretion. The Bank’s unsecured federal funds’funds lines of credit, subject to availability, totaled $731.0$737.4 million with correspondent banks as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. The Company believes that its liquidity sources are sufficient to meet all reasonably foreseeable short-term needs over the next 12 months.
While the Company’s long-term funding source is predominantly provided by core deposits, the Company may use long-term borrowings, repurchase agreements and intermediate-term needs.

The Company experienced net cash inflows from operating activitieseconomic conditions and stability of $665.0 millioncapital markets impact the Company’s access to, and $417.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The $247.4 million increase in net cash inflows from operating activities between these periods was primarily due to a $99.8 million increase in net income, a $108.3 million increase in net changes in cash flows receivable from other assets and a $76.2 million increase in net changes in the cash flows from accrued expenses and other liabilities, partially offset by a $32.5 million change in non-cash amounts. The $108.3 million increase in net changes in cash flows receivable from other assets, comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2017cost of wholesale financing. Access to the same period in 2016, was primarily due to a reduction in tax receivables, and an increase in fair value of interest rate swaps and options during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 contributing to operating cash outflows in that period. The $76.2 million increase in net changes in the cash flows from accrued expenses and other liabilities, comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to the same period in 2016, was primarily due to a larger wire transfer in transit and an increase in tax payables.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $2.07 billion and $473.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The $1.59 billion increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to a $1.69 billion increase in net cash outflows from loans held-for-investment, partially offset by a $150.0 million increase in net cash inflows from resale agreements.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,capital markets for the Company experienced net cash inflowsis also affected by the credit ratings received from financing activities of $1.24 billion and $365.6 million, respectively. Net cash inflows from financing activities of $1.24 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily comprised of a $1.39 billion net increase in customer deposits, partially offset by $87.9 million in cash dividends paid. Net cash inflows from financing activities of $365.6 million during the same period in 2016 were primarily comprised of a $1.13 billion net increase in customer deposits and a $37.7 million increase in short-term borrowings, partially offset by a $700.0 million repayment of short-term FHLB advances and $87.0 million in cash dividends paid.various rating agencies.
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Company is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that hadwill or wereare reasonably likely to have a material effect on its liquidity position. Furthermore, the Company is not aware of any material commitments for capital expenditures in the foreseeable future.
East West’s liquidity has historically been dependent on the payment of cash dividends by its subsidiary, East West Bank, which are subject to applicable statutes, regulations and special approval.approval as discussed in Item 1. Business — Supervision and Regulation — Dividends and Other Transfers of Funds of the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K. The Bank paid total dividends of $255.0 million and $100.0$40.0 million to East West during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.first quarter of 2019. In comparison, no dividend was paid to East West during the same period in 2018. In addition, in October 2017,April 2019, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.20$0.275 per share, for the Company’s common stock payable on NovemberMay 15, 20172019 to stockholders of record on NovemberMay 1, 2017.2019.
Liquidity stress testing is performed at the Company level as well as at the foreign subsidiary and foreign branch levels. Stress testing and scenario analysis are intended to quantify the potential impact of a liquidity event on the financial and liquidity position of the entity. These scenarios include assumptions about significant changes in key funding sources, market triggers and potential uses of funding and economic conditions in certain countries. In addition, Company specific events are incorporated into the stress testing. Liquidity stress tests are conducted to ascertain potential mismatches between liquidity sources and uses over a variety of time horizons, both immediate and longer term, and over a variety of stressed conditions. Given the range of potential stresses, the Company maintains a series of contingency funding plans on a consolidated basis and for individual entities.

Operating activities — The Company’s operating assets and liabilities support the Company’s lending and capital market activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $139.2 million and $217.9 million for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. During the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, net cash provided by operating activities mainly reflected $164.0 million and $187.0 million of net income, respectively. During the first quarter of 2019, non-cash adjustments to reconcile net income to net operating cash of $62.2 million, was primarily comprised of depreciation and amortization/accretion, of which was partially offset by $60.8 million of changes in accrued expenses and other liabilities, and $27.6 million of changes in accrued interest receivable and other assets. The $60.8 million decrease in accrued expenses and other liabilities between the first quarter of 2019 and fourth quarter of 2018 was primarily due to decreases in derivative liability fair values and bonus payouts. In comparison, net operating cash inflows for the same period in 2018 benefited from $18.0 million in non-cash adjustments to reconcile net income to net operating cash, and $14.5 million of changes in accrued interest receivable and other assets.
Investing activities —Net cash used in investing activities was $118.7 million and $1.04 billion for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.During the first quarter of 2019, net cash used in investing activities primarily reflected a $465.0 million increase in net loans held-for-investment, and $33.3 million in net fundings of investments in qualified affordable housing partnerships, tax credit and other investments, partially offset by a $245.4 million decrease in interest-bearing deposits with banks and net cash inflows from available-for-sale investment securities of $137.2 million. In comparison, during the first quarter of 2018, net cash used in investing activities primarily reflected a $586.8 million increase in net loans held-for-investment, and a $503.7 million payment for the DCB sale, partially offset by net cash inflows from available-for-sale investment securities of $144.5 million.
Financing activities —Net cash provided by financing activities of $749.4 million and $944.4 million for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively, was primarily reflective of $800.1 million and $964.4 million net increases in deposits for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company paid cash dividends of $34.9 million and $30.2 million during the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Interest Rate Risk Management
Interest rate risk results primarily from the Company’s traditional banking activities of gathering deposits and extending loans, and is the primary market risk for the Company. Economic and financial conditions, movements in interest rates and consumer preferences affect the difference between the interest the Company earns on interest-earning assets and pays on interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of the noninterest-bearing funding sources. In addition, changes in interest rates can influence the rate of principal prepayments on loans and the speed of deposit withdrawals. Due to the pricing term mismatches and the embedded options inherent in certain products, changes in market interest rates not only affect expected near-term earnings, but also the economic value of these interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Other market risks include foreign currency exchange risk and equity price risk. These risks are not considered significant to the Company’s interest rate riskCompany and no separate quantitative information concerning these risks is presented herein.
With oversight by the Company’s Board of Directors, the ALCO coordinates the overall management of the Company’s interest rate risk. The ALCO meets regularly and is responsible for reviewing the Company’s open market positions and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to market risk. Management of interest rate risk is carried out primarily through strategies involving the Company’s investment securities portfolio, loan portfolio, available funding channels and capital market activities. In addition, the Company’s policies permit the use of off-balance sheet derivative instruments to assist in managing interest rate risk. Refer to Item 2. MD&A — Asset Liability and Market Risks Management — Derivatives in this Form 10-Q for additional information.
The interest rate risk exposure is measured and monitored through various risk management tools which include a simulation model that performs interest rate sensitivity analysis under multiple interest rate scenarios. The model includesincorporates the Company’s cash instruments, loans, investment securities, resale agreements, customer deposits and borrowing portfolios, includingand repurchase agreements. The financial instruments from the Company’s domestic and foreign operations, forecasted noninterest income and noninterest expense items are also incorporated in the simulation. The simulated interest rate scenarios simulated include an instantaneous parallel shift anda non-parallel shift in the yield curve.curve (“rate shock”) and a gradual non-parallel shift in the yield curve (“rate ramp”). In addition, the Company also performs various simulations using alternative interest rate scenarios. The alternative interest rate scenarios include yield curve flattening, yield curve steepening and yield curve inverting. In order to apply the assumed interest rate environment, adjustments are made to reflect the shift in the U.S. Treasury and other appropriate yieldinterest rate curves. The Company incorporates both a static balance sheet and a forward growth balance sheet in order to perform these evaluations.analyses. Results of these various simulations are used to formulate and gauge strategies to achieve a desired risk profile within the Company’s capital and liquidity guidelines.
The simulation model is based on the actual maturity and re-pricing characteristics of the Company’s interest-rate sensitive assets, liabilities and related derivative contracts. The Company’s net interest income simulation model incorporates various assumptions, which management believes to be reasonable but may have a significant impact on results. They include: the timing and magnitude of changes in interest rates, the yield curve evolution and shape, repricing characteristics, and the effect of interest rate floors, periodic loan caps and lifetime loan caps. In addition, the modeled results are highly sensitive to the deposit decay assumptions used for deposits that do not have specific maturities. The Company uses historical regression analysis of the Company’s internal historical deposit data as a guide to set deposit decay assumptions. In addition, theThe model is also highly sensitive to certain assumptions on the correlation of the change in interest rates paid on core deposits to changes in benchmark market interest rates, commonly referred to as deposit beta assumptions. Deposit beta assumptions are developed based on the Company’s historical experience. The model is also sensitive to the loan and investment prepayment assumption.assumptions. The loan and investment prepayment assumption,assumptions, which considersconsider the anticipated prepayments under different interest rate environments, isare based on an independent model, as well as the Company’s historical prepayment experiences.
Existing investment securities, loans, customer deposits and borrowings are assumed to roll into new instruments at a similar spread relative to benchmark interest rates and internal pricing guidelines. The assumptions applied in the model are documented and supported for reasonableness.reasonableness and periodically back-tested to assess their effectiveness. Changes to key model assumptions are reviewed by the ALCO. Due to the sensitivity of the model results, the Company performs periodic testing to assess the impact of the assumptions. The Company also makes appropriate calibrations when necessary. Scenarios do not reflect strategies that management could employ to limit the impact as interest rate expectations change. Simulation results are highly dependent on these assumptions. To the extent actual behavior is different from the assumptions in the models, there could be a material change in interest rate sensitivity. The Company performs periodic testing to assess the sensitivity of the model results to the assumptions used. The Company also makes appropriate calibrations to the model when necessary. Scenario results do not reflect strategies that management could employ to limit the impact as interest rate expectations change.
Twelve-Month Net Interest Income Simulation
Net Interest Income simulation is a modeling technique that looks at interest rate risk through earnings. It projects the changes in asset and liability cash flows, expressed in terms of Net Interest Income, over a specified time horizon for defined interest rates scenarios. Net Interest Income simulations generate insight into the impact of changes in market rates on earnings and guide risk management decisions. The Company assesses interest rate risk by comparing net interest income using different interest rate scenarios.
The following table presents the Company’s net interest income and economic value of equity (“EVE”) sensitivity as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20162018 related to an instantaneous and sustained non-parallel shift in market interest rates of 100 and 200 basis points in both directions:

(1) | The percentage change represents net interest income over 12 months in a stable interest rate environment versus net interest income in the various rate scenarios. |
The Company’s estimated twelve-month net interest income sensitivity as of March 31, 2019 was higher compared to December 31, 2018 for both the upward 100 and 200 basis point rate scenarios. Simulated increases in interest income are offset by increases in the rate of repricing for the Company’s deposit portfolio. In both simulated downward interest rate scenarios, sensitivity decreased overall mainly due to the impact of the change in yield curve as well as the changes in balance sheet portfolio mix.
The Company’s net interest income profile as of March 31, 2019 reflects an asset sensitive position. Net interest income would be expected to increase if interest rates rise and to decrease if interest rates decline. The Company is naturally asset sensitive due to its large portfolio of variable rate loans that are funded in large part by low cost non-maturity deposits. The Company’s interest income is vulnerable to changes in short-term interest rates. The Company’s variable rate loan portfolio is generally comprised of Prime and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) indexed products and as such, is vulnerable to changes in those rate indexes. The Company’s deposit portfolio is primarily funded by low cost non-maturity deposits. Though the interest rates for these deposit products are not directly subject to changes in short-term interest rates, they are, nevertheless, sensitive to changes in product mix as customers shift their balances to higher interest rate products as these products become more attractive.
The federal funds target rate was between 2.25% and 2.50% as of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. In its statement released on March 20, 2019, the Federal Open Market Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 2.25% to 2.50% in light of global economic and financial developments and muted inflation pressures. Up until that point, the Federal Open Market Committee had been increasing the federal funds target rate in a steady pace of 25 basis points per quarter during 2018.
While an instantaneous and sustained non-parallel shift in market interest rates was used in the simulation model described in the preceding paragraphs, the Company believes that any shift in interest rates would likely be more gradual and would therefore have a more modest impact. The rate ramp table below shows the net income volatility under a gradual non-parallel shift upward and downward of the yield curve in even quarterly increments over the first twelve months, followed by rates held constant thereafter:
|
| | | | | | |
|
Change in Interest Rates (Basis Points) | | Net Interest Income Volatility (1) |
| March 31, 2019 | | December 31, 2018 |
+200 Rate Ramp | | 6.5 | % | | 6.3 | % |
+100 Rate Ramp | | 3.5 | % | | 3.0 | % |
-100 Rate Ramp | | (1.2 | )% | | (3.0 | )% |
-200 Rate Ramp | | (4.2 | )% | | (6.3 | )% |
|
| |
(2)(1) | The percentage change represents net interest income under a gradual non-parallel shift in even quarterly increments over 12 months. |
The Company believes that the rate ramp table, shown above, and when evaluated together with the results of the rate shock simulation, presents a better indication of the potential impact to the Company’s twelve-month net interest income in a rising and falling rate scenario.
Economic Value of Equity at Risk
Economic value of equity (“EVE”) is a cash flow calculation that takes the present value of all asset cash flows and subtracts the present value of all liability cash flows. This calculation is used for asset/liability management and measures changes in the economic value of the bank. The fair market values of a bank's assets and liabilities are directly linked to interest rates. In some ways, the economic value approach provides a broader scope than the net income volatility approach since it captures all anticipated cash flows.
EVE simulation reflects the effect of interest rate shifts on the value of the Company and is used to assess the degree of interest rate risk exposure. In contrast to the earnings perspective, the economic perspective identifies risk arising from repricing or maturity gaps for the life of the balance sheet. Changes in economic value indicate anticipated changes in the value of the bank’s future cash flows. Thus, the economic perspective can provide a leading indicator of the bank’s future earnings and capital values. The economic valuation method also reflects those sensitivities across the full maturity spectrum of the bank’s assets and liabilities.
The following table presents the Company’s EVE sensitivity as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 related to an instantaneous and sustained non-parallel shift in market interest rates of 100 and 200 basis points in both directions:
|
| | | | | | |
| | | | |
Change in Interest Rates (Basis Points) | | EVE Volatility (1) |
| March 31, 2019 | | December 31, 2018 |
+200 | | 8.7 | % | | 6.3 | % |
+100 | | 3.6 | % | | 1.2 | % |

(1) | The percentage change represents net portfolio value of the Company in a stable interest rate environment versus net portfolio value in the various rate scenarios. |
Twelve-Month Net Interest Income Simulation
The Company’s estimated twelve-month net interest income sensitivity as of September 30, 2017 was slightly lower compared to December 31, 2016 for both upward interest rate scenarios, as simulated increases in interest income are offset by an increase in the rate of repricing for the Company’s deposit portfolio. In a simulated downward interest rate scenario, sensitivity increased overall for both of the downward interest rate scenarios, mainly due to the impact of the recent interest rate increases on December 14, 2016, March 15, 2017, and June 14, 2017. As interest rates rise further away from all time historical lows, there is more room for the Company’s simulated interest income to decline in a downward interest rate scenario, relative to previous simulations.
Under most rising interest rate environments, the Company would expect some customers to move balances in demand deposits into higher interest-bearing deposits such as money market, savings or time deposits. The models are particularly sensitive to the assumption about the rate of such migration. The federal funds target rate was between 0.50% and 0.75% as of December 31, 2016, and between 1.00% and 1.25% as of September 30, 2017. It should be noted that despite the two interest rate increases in 2017, as of September 30, 2017, the Company has not experienced this deposit movement, though there can be no assurance as to how long this is expected to last.
The following table presents the Company’s net interest income sensitivity as of September 30, 2017 for the +100 and +200 basis points interest rate scenarios assuming a $1.00 billion, $2.00 billion and $3.00 billion demand deposit migrations:
|
| | | | | | | | | |

Economic Value of Equity at Risk
The Company’s EVE sensitivity increased as of September 30, 2017, compared to December 31, 2016, for both of the upward interest rate scenarios.scenarios as of March 31, 2019 increased from December 31, 2018. In the simulated upward 100 basis points and 200 basis pointspoint interest rate scenarios, EVE sensitivity was 7.0%3.6% and 13.4%, respectively. The increase in sensitivity8.7% as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019, respectively, compared to 1.2% and 6.3% as of December 31, 2016 in the upward interest rate scenario was2018, respectively. These increases were primarily due to changes in the balance sheet portfolio mix. EVE declined 3.7%mix and 9.6% of the base level as of September 30, 2017 in declining rate scenarios ofyield curve. In the downward 100 and 200 basis points,point interest rate scenarios, the Company’s EVE sensitivity improved for both of the downward 100 and 200 basis point interest rate scenarios as of March 31, 2019, compared to December 31, 2018. In the simulated downward 100 and 200 basis point interest rate scenarios, EVE sensitivity was (2.6)% and (11.3)% as of March 31, 2019, respectively, compared to (3.1)% and (11.9)% as of December 31, 2018, respectively.
The Company regularly reviews and updates its assumptions with regards to the timing and magnitude of changes in interest rates, and the shape and evolution of the yield curve to more accurately reflect expected customer behavior.
The Company’s net interest income and EVE profile as of September 30, 2017, as presented in the net interest income and EVE tables,March 31, 2019 reflects an asset sensitive net interest income position and an asset sensitive EVE position. The Company is naturally asset sensitive due to its large portfolio of rate-sensitive loans that are funded in large part by noninterest-bearing and rate-stablestable core deposits. As a result, if there are no significant changes in the mix of assets and liabilities, net interest income increases when interest rates increase, and decreases when interest rates decrease. Given the uncertainty of the magnitude, timing and direction of future interest rate movements, and the shape of the yield curve, actual results may vary from those predicted by the Company’s model.
Derivatives
It is the Company’s policy not to speculate on the future direction of interest rates, or foreign currency exchange rates.rates and commodity prices. However, the Company will, from time to time, enter into derivativesderivative transactions in order to reduce its exposure to market risks, includingprimarily interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The Company believes that these derivative transactions, when properly structured and managed, may provide a hedge against inherent risk in certain assets orand liabilities and against risk in specific transactions. Hedging transactions may be implemented using a variety of derivative instruments such as swaps, caps, floors, financial futures, forwards and options. Prior to entering into any hedging activities, the Company analyzes the costs and benefits of the hedge in comparison to alternative strategies. In addition, the Company enters into derivative transactions in order to assist customers with their risk management objectives, primarily to manage exposures to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currencies and commodity prices. To economically hedge against the derivative contracts entered into with the Company’s customers, the Company enters into mirrored derivative contracts with third-party financial institutions. The exposures from derivative transactions are collateralized by cash and eligible securities based on limits as set forth in the respective agreements entered between the Company and the financial institutions.
The Company is subject to credit risk associated with the counterparties to the derivative contracts. This counterparty credit risk is a multidimensional form of risk, affected by both the exposure to a counterparty and the credit quality of the counterparty, both of which are sensitive to market-induced changes. The Company’s Credit Risk Management Committee provides oversight of credit risks and the Company has guidelines in place to manage counterparty concentration, tenor limits and collateral. The Company manages the credit risk of its derivative positions by diversifying its positions among various counterparties, by entering into legally enforceable master netting arrangements and requiring collateral arrangements, where possible. The Company may also transfer counterparty credit risk related to interest rate swaps to institutional third parties through the use of credit risk participation agreements (“RPAs”). Certain derivative contracts are required to be centrally cleared through clearinghouses to further mitigate counterparty credit risk. The Company incorporates credit value adjustments and other market standard methodologies to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements of its derivatives.
Interest Rate Swaps on Certificates of DepositFair Value Hedges — As of September 30, 2017 and DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2019, the Company had two cancellable interest rate swap contracts with original terms of 20 years. The objective of these interest rate swaps, which were designated as fair value hedges, was to obtain low-cost floating rate funding on the Company’scertain brokered certificates of deposit. AsThese swap contracts involve the exchange of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, undervariable rate payments over the termslife of the swap contracts,agreements without the Company received a fixed interest rate and paid a variable interest rate. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the notional amountsexchange of the Company’sunderlying notional amounts. The changes in fair value of these brokered certificates of deposit interest rate swaps were $42.6 million and $48.4 million, respectively. Theare expected to be effectively offset by the changes in fair value liabilities of the interest rate swaps were $6.6 million and $6.0 million asthroughout the terms of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.these contracts.
Interest Rate Swaps and OptionsNet Investment Hedges — The Company also offers various interest rate derivative products to its customers. When derivative transactions are executed with its customers, the derivative contracts are offset by paired trades with registered swap dealers. These contracts allow borrowers to lock in attractive intermediate and long-term fixed rate financing while not increasing the interest rate risk to the Company. These transactions are not linked to specific Company assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets or to forecasted transactions in a hedge relationship and, therefore, are economic hedges. The contracts are marked to market at each reporting period. Fair values are determined from verifiable third-party sources that have considerable experience with derivative markets. The Company provides data to the third party source to calculate the credit valuation component of the fair values of the client derivative contracts.
As of September 30, 2017, the total notional amounts of interest rate swaps and options, including mirrored transactions with institutional counterparties and the Company’s customers, totaled $4.37 billion for derivatives that were in an asset valuation position and $4.37 billion for derivatives that were in a liability valuation position. As of December 31, 2016, the total notional amounts of interest rate swaps and options, including mirrored transactions with institutional counterparties and the Company’s customers, totaled $3.86 billion for derivatives that were in an asset valuation position and $3.81 billion for derivatives that were in a liability valuation position. The fair values of interest rate swap and option contracts with institutional counterparties and the Company’s customers amounted to a $64.8 million asset and a $64.2 million liability as of September 30, 2017. The fair values of interest rate swap and option contracts with institutional counterparties and the Company’s customers amounted to a $67.6 million asset and a $65.1 million liability as of December 31, 2016.
Foreign Exchange Contracts — The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts with its customers, primarily comprised of forward, swap and spot contracts to enable its customers to hedge their transactions in foreign currencies from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, and also to allow the Company to economically hedge against foreign currency fluctuations in certain foreign currency denominated deposits that it offers to its customers, as well as the Company’s investment in its China subsidiary, East West Bank (China) Limited.
For a majority of the foreign exchange transactions entered with its customers, the Company enters into offsetting foreign exchange contracts with institutional counterparties to mitigate the foreign exchange risk. These transactions are economic hedges and the Company does not apply hedge accounting. The Company’s policies also permit taking proprietary currency positions within approved limits, in compliance with the proprietary trading exemption provided under Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Company does not speculate in the foreign exchange markets, and actively manages its foreign exchange exposures within prescribed risk limits and defined controls.
ASC 830-20, Foreign Currency Matters — Foreign Currency Transactions and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, allow hedging of the foreign currency risk of a net investment in a foreign operation. During the fourth quarter of 2015, theThe Company began enteringentered into foreign currency forwardswap contracts to hedge its investment in East West Bank (China) Limited, a non-U.S. dollar (“USD”) functional currency subsidiary in China. The hedging instruments, designated as net investment hedges, involve hedging the risk of changes in the USD equivalent value of a designated monetary amount of the Company’s net investment in China,East West Bank (China) Limited, against the risk of adverse changes in the foreign currency exchange rate.rate of the Chinese Renminbi. As of March 31, 2019, the outstanding foreign currency swaps effectively hedged approximately half of the Chinese Renminbi exposure in East West Bank (China) Limited. The notional amount andfluctuation in foreign currency translation of the hedged exposure is expected to be offset by changes in the fair value of the net investment hedges were $83.0 million and a $4.3 million asset, respectively, as of December 31, 2016. Since recent policy changes by the People’s Bank of China, the central bank of the People’s Republic of China, as well as market sentiments have caused a divergence in the exchange rate movements of the on-shore Chinese Renminbi and off-shore Chinese Renminbi, the net investment hedge relationships were dedesignated during the first quarter of 2017, even though they continued to meet the hedge effectiveness test. As of September 30, 2017, the notional amount and fair value of these two foreign exchange forward contracts designated as economic hedges were $93.3 million and a $4.8 million liability, respectively, and have been included in the foreign exchange contracts’ notional amount of $1.13 billion and fair value of $14.2 million disclosed below.swaps.
AsInterest Rate Contracts — The Company offers various interest rate derivative contracts to its customers. When derivative transactions are executed with its customers, the derivative contracts are offset by paired trades with third-party financial institutions including with central counterparties (“CCPs”). Certain derivative contracts entered with CCPs are settled-to-market daily to the extent the CCPs’ rulebooks legally characterize the variation margin as settlement. Derivative contracts allow borrowers to lock in attractive intermediate and long-term fixed rate financing while not increasing the interest rate risk to the Company. These transactions are not linked to specific Company assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet or to forecasted transactions in a hedging relationship and, therefore, are economic hedges. The contracts are marked to market at each reporting period. The changes in fair values of September 30, 2017the derivative contracts traded with third-party financial institutions are expected to be largely comparable to the changes in fair values of the derivative transactions executed with customers throughout the terms of these contracts, except for the credit valuation adjustment component. The Company records credit valuation adjustments on derivatives to properly reflect the variances of credit worthiness between the Company and December 31, 2016, the Company’s total notional amountscounterparties, considering the effects of enforceable master netting agreements and collateral arrangements.
Foreign Exchange Contracts — The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts with its customers, consisting of forward, spot, swap and option contracts to accommodate the business needs of its customers. For a portion of the foreign exchange contracts that were not designated as hedging instruments were $1.13 billion and $767.8 million, respectively.entered into with its customers, the Company entered into offsetting foreign exchange contracts with third-party financial institutions to manage its exposure. The changes in the fair values entered with third-party financial institutions are expected to be largely comparable to the changes in fair values of the foreign exchange transactions executed with the customers throughout the terms of these contracts. The Company also utilizes foreign exchange contracts were a $14.2 million assetthat are not designated as hedging instruments to mitigate the economic effect of fluctuations in certain foreign currency on-balance sheet assets and a $20.1 million liability, respectively, asliabilities, primarily foreign currency denominated deposits offered to its customers.

The Company does not speculate in the foreign exchange markets, and an $11.9 million assetactively manages its foreign exchange exposures within prescribed risk limits and an $11.2 million liability, respectively, as of December 31, 2016.defined controls.
Credit Risk Participation AgreementsContracts — The Company has enteredmay periodically enter into credit risk participation agreements (“RPAs”) under which the Company assumed its pro-rata share ofRPAs to manage the credit exposure on interest rate contracts associated with the borrower’s performance related to interest rate derivative contracts.its syndicated loans. The Company may enter into protection sold or may not be a party toprotection purchased RPAs with institutional counterparties. Under the interest rate derivative contract and enters into such RPAs in instances whereRPA, the Company iswill receive or make a party to the related loan participation agreement with the borrower. The Company will make/receive payments under the RPAspayment if thea borrower defaults on its obligation to perform under the related interest rate derivative contract. The Company manages its credit risk on the RPAs by monitoring the credit worthiness of the borrowers, which is based on the normal credit review process. The notional amount of the RPAs reflects the Company’s pro-rata share of the derivative instrument. As of September 30, 2017, the notional amount and fair value of the RPAs purchased were $47.8 million and a $1 thousand liability, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, the notional amount and fair value of the RPAs sold were $20.6 million and a $2 thousand asset, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the notional amount and fair value of the RPAs purchased were $48.3 million and a $3 thousand liability, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the notional amount and fair value of the RPAs sold were $23.1 million and a $3 thousand asset, respectively.
WarrantsEquity Contracts — The Company obtained warrants to purchase preferred and common stock of technology and life sciences companies, as part of the loan origination process. As of September 30, 2017, theThe warrants included on the Consolidated Financial Statements were from public and private companies.
Commodity Contracts — The Company valued these warrants based onentered into energy commodity contracts with its customers to allow them to hedge against the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For warrants from public companies,risk of fluctuation in energy commodity prices. To economically hedge against the model uses the underlying stock price, stated strike price, warrant expiration date, risk-free interest rate based on duration-matched U.S. Treasury rate and market-observable company-specific option volatility as inputs to value the warrants. For warrants from private companies, the model uses inputs such as the offering price observedrisk of fluctuation in commodity prices in the most recent round of funding, stated strike price, warrant expiration date, risk-free interest rate based on duration-matched U.S. Treasury rate and option volatility. The option volatility assumption was based on publicproducts offered to its customers, the Company enters into offsetting commodity contracts with third-party financial institutions including with CCPs.

Supplemental Information — Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company’s unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by GAAP or other applicable requirement. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance, and allow comparability to prior periods.
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a pre-tax impairment charge related to certain tax credit investments of $7.0 million. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company sold its eight DCB branches and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of $31.5 million. Management believes that excluding the nonrecurring after-tax impacts of the impairment charge related to certain tax credit investments and the gain on the sale of the Bank’s DCB branches from net income, diluted EPS, ROA and ROE, will make it easier to analyze the results by presenting them on a more comparable basis.
Non-GAAP efficiency ratio represents non-GAAP noninterest expense divided by non-GAAP revenue. Non-GAAP revenue represents the aggregate of net interest income and non-GAAP noninterest income, where Non-GAAP noninterest income excludes the gain on the sale of the DCB branches that were sold in the first quarter of 2018. Non-GAAP noninterest expense excludes the amortization of tax credit and other investments and the amortization of core deposit intangibles.
The following tables present reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018:
