NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1 Basis of Presentation

East West Bancorp, Inc. (referred to herein on an unconsolidated basis as “East West” and on a consolidated basis as the “Company”) is a registered bank holding company that offers a full range of banking services to individuals and businesses through its subsidiary bank, East West Bank and its subsidiaries (“East West Bank” or the “Bank”). The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q include the accounts of East West, East West Bank and East West’s subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, East West also has six6 wholly-owned subsidiaries that are statutory business trusts (the “Trusts”). In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation, the Trusts are not included on the Consolidated Financial Statements. East West also owns East West Insurance Services, Inc. (“EWIS”). In the third quarter of 2017, the Company sold the insurance brokerage business of EWIS, which remains a subsidiary of East West and continues to maintain its insurance broker license. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company acquired Enstream Capital Markets, LLC, a non-publicprivate broker dealer entity, asand also established East West Investment Management LLC, a registered investment adviser. Both East West Markets, LLC and East West Investment Management LLC are wholly-owned subsidiarysubsidiaries of the Company.East West.

The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), applicable guidelines prescribed by regulatory authorities, and general practices in the banking 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. While the COVID-19 outbreak had a material impact on our provision for credit losses, the Company is unable to fully predict the impact that COVID-19 will have on its financial position and results of operations due to numerous uncertainties, and will continue to assess the potential impacts on its financial position and results of operations. 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 annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the United StatesU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 20192020 (the “Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K”).

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. The recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. Lessee accounting for finance leases, as well as lessor accounting are largely unchanged. The standard may be adopted using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment. In addition, 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 can recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption rather than in the earliest period presented.



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 adoption of the new leases standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income. Disclosures related to leases are included in Note 11 — Leases to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
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.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instrumentsand subsequent related ASUs
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-saleAFS 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. ASU 2016-13 also eliminates the guidance for purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans, but requires an allowance for loan losses for purchased financial assets with more than an insignificant deterioration of credit since origination. The ASU also modifies the other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) model for AFS debt securities to require an allowance for credit losses instead of a direct write-down. A reversal of the allowance for credit losses is allowed in future periods based on improvements in credit performance expectations. 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.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which clarifies The new guidance also allows optional relief for certain aspects of accounting for credit losses, hedging activities, and financial instruments. The amendments related to credit losses (addressed by ASU 2016-13) clarify the scope of the credit losses standard and address issues related to accrued interest receivable balances, recoveries, variable interest rates, prepayments and contractual extensions and renewals, among other things.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), which amends ASU 2016-13 to allow companiesinstruments measured at amortized cost with an option to irrevocably elect upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the fair value option on financial instruments that were previously recorded at amortized cost and are within the scope of ASC 326-20 if the instruments are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10.Topic 825,

Financial Instruments.
The Company’s implementation efforts include, but are not limited to, identifying and evaluating key interpretive issues, assessing, and modifying system and process requirements against the new guidance. The Company has completed model development and is undergoing validation and implementation. Additionally, the Company has started to analyze model results, review qualitative factors and update the allowance documentation. The Company will continue to address any gaps from recently issued interpretations and in data and operational processes arising from internal reviews, model validation and parallel runs during the second half of 2019.

The adoption of this ASU may result inincreased the allowance for loan losses by $125.2 million, and allowance for unfunded credit commitments by $10.5 million. The Company also recorded an after-tax decrease to opening retained earnings of $98.0 million on January 1, 2020. The increase into allowance for loan losses was primarily related to the commercial and industrial (“C&I”) and commercial real estate (“CRE”) loan portfolios. The Company did not record an 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 2) the nonaccretable difference on the purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) loans willCompany’s AFS debt securities as a result of this adoption.

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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 3 — DispositionsThe Company has revised the following significant accounting policies as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-13.

On March 17, 2018,Allowance for Loan Losses — The allowance for loan losses is established as management’s estimate of expected credit losses inherent in the Bank completedCompany’s lending activities and increased by the saleprovision for credit losses and decreased by net charge-offs. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated quarterly by management based on periodic review of the collectability of the loans, and more often if deemed necessary. The Company develops and documents the allowance for loan losses methodology at the portfolio segment level commercial loan portfolio comprising C&I, CRE, multifamily residential, and construction and land loans; and the consumer loan portfolio comprising single-family residential, home equity lines of credit (“HELOC”) and other consumer loans.

The allowance for loan losses represents the portion of the loan’s amortized cost basis that the Company does not expect to collect due to anticipated credit losses over the loan’s contractual life. The Company measures the expected loan losses on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Models consisting of quantitative and qualitative components are designed for each pool to develop the expected credit loss estimates. Reasonable and supportable forecast periods vary by loan portfolio. The collectively evaluated loans include non-classified and classified loans that have been determined as not impaired. The Company has adopted lifetime loss rate models for the portfolios, which use historical loss rates and forecast economic variables to calculate the expected credit losses for each loan pool.



When the loans do not share similar risk characteristics, the Company evaluates the loan for expected credit losses on an individual basis (e.g., impaired loans). The Company considers loans to be impaired if, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. For loans determined to be impaired, three different asset valuation measurement methods are available: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows, (2) the fair value of collateral less costs to sell, and (3) the loan's observable market price. The allowance for loan losses for collateral-dependent loans is determined based on the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell. For loans that are not collateral-dependent, the Company applies the present value of expected future cash flows valuation or the market value of the loan. When the loan is deemed uncollectible, the Company’s policy is to promptly charge off the estimated impaired amount.

The amortized cost of loans held-for-investment excludes accrued interest, which is included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables on nonaccrual loans since the Company timely reverses any previously accrued interest when the borrower remains in default for an extended period.

The allowance for loan losses is reported separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the Provision for credit losses is reported on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Allowance for Unfunded Credit Commitments — The allowance for unfunded credit commitments includes reserves provided for unfunded loan commitments, letters of credit, standby letters of credit (“SBLCs”) and recourse obligations for loans sold. The Company estimates the allowance for unfunded credit commitments over the contractual period in which the entity is exposed to credit risk via a present contractual obligation to extend credit. Within the period of credit exposure, the estimate of credit losses will consider both the likelihood that funding will occur, and an estimate of the expected credit losses on the commitments that are expected to fund over their estimated lives.

The allowance for unfunded credit commitments is maintained at a level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb estimated expected credit losses related to unfunded credit facilities. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic evaluations of the unfunded credit facilities. For all off-balance-sheet instruments and commitments, including unfunded lending commitments, letters of credit, SBLCs and recourse obligations for loans sold, the unfunded credit exposure is calculated using utilization assumptions based on the Company's historical utilization experience in related portfolio segments. Loss rates are applied to the calculated exposure balances to estimate the allowance for unfunded credit commitments. Other elements such as credit risk factors for loans outstanding, terms and expiration dates of the unfunded credit facilities, and other pertinent information are considered to determine the adequacy of the allowance.

The allowance for unfunded credit commitments is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes to the allowance for unfunded credit commitments are included in Provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Income Statements.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Debt Securities — ASU 2016-13 modifies the impairment model for AFS debt securities. For each reporting period, AFS debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position are individually analyzed as part of the Company’s ongoing assessments to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. The initial indicator of impairment is a decline in fair value below the amortized cost, excluding accrued interest, of the AFS debt security. In determining whether an impairment is due to credit related factors, the Company considers the severity of the decline in fair value, the financial condition of the issuer, changes in the AFS debt securities’ ratings and other qualitative factors, as well as whether the Company either plans to sell the debt security or it is more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of the amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 removes the ability to consider the length of time the debt security has been in an unrealized loss position as a factor, either by itself or in combination with other factors, to conclude that a credit loss does not exist.



When the Company does not intend to sell the impaired AFS debt security and it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not be required to sell the impaired debt security prior to recovery of its eight Desert Community Bank (“DCB”) branches located inamortized cost basis, the High Desert area of Southern California to Flagstar Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. The assets and liabilitiescredit component of the DCB branches that were soldunrealized loss of the impaired AFS debt security is recognized as an allowance for credit losses, with a corresponding Provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statement of Income and the non-credit component is recognized in this transaction primarily consistedOther comprehensive income (loss), net 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 byapplicable taxes. At each reporting period, the Company increases or decreases the allowance for credit losses as appropriate, while limiting reversals of the allowance for credit losses to Flagstar Bank. After transaction costs, the sale resulted inextent of the amounts previously recorded. If the Company intends to sell the impaired debt security or it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the impaired debt security prior to recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment amount is recognized as an adjustment to the debt security’s amortized cost basis, with a pre-tax gain of $31.5 millioncorresponding Provision for the six months ended June 30, 2018, which was reported as Net gain on sale of businesscredit losses on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

The amortized cost of the Company’s AFS debt securities excludes accrued interest, which is included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables on AFS debt securities since the Company timely reverses any previously accrued interest when the debt security remains in default for an extended period. As each AFS debt security has a unique security structure, where the accrual status is clearly determined when certain criteria listed in the terms are met, the Company assesses the default status of each security as defined by the debt security’s specific security structure.

Collateral-Dependent Financial AssetsA financial asset is considered collateral-dependent if repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The allowance for credit losses is measured on an individual basis for collateral-dependent financial assets and determined by comparing the fair value of the collateral, minus the cost to sell, to the amortized cost basis of the related financial asset at the reporting date. Other than impaired loans, collateral-dependent financial assets could also include resale agreements. In arrangements in which the borrower must continually adjust the collateral securing the asset to reflect changes in the collateral’s fair value (e.g., resale agreements), the Company estimates the expected credit losses on the basis of the unsecured portion of the amortized cost as of the balance sheet date. If the fair value of the collateral is equal to or greater than the amortized cost of the resale agreement, the expected losses would be zero. If the fair value of the collateral is less than the amortized cost of the asset, the expected losses are limited to the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the resale agreement.

Purchased Credit Deteriorated Assets — ASU 2016-13 replaces the concept of PCI accounting under ASC 310-30 Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality with the concept of purchased financial assets with credit deterioration (“PCD”). The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the prospective transition approach for PCD that were previously classified as PCI assets. PCD financial assets are defined as acquired individual financial assets (or groups with similar risk characteristics) that as of the date of acquisition, have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. For PCD debt securities and PCD loans, the company records the allowance for credit losses by grossing up the initial amortized cost, which includes the purchase price and the allowance for credit losses. The expected credit losses of PCD debt securities are measured at the individual security level. The expected credit losses for PCD loans are measured based on the loan’s unpaid principal balance. Beginning January 1, 2020, for any asset designated as a PCD asset at the time of acquisition, the Company estimates and records an allowance for credit losses, which is added to the purchase price to establish the initial amortized cost basis of the financial asset. Hence, there is no income statement impact on the acquisition. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses on PCD assets will be recognized in Provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The noncredit discount or premium will be accreted to interest income based on the effective interest rate on the PCD assets determined after the gross-up for the allowance for credit losses.



Note 43 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.

The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether inputs to the valuation methodology used are observable or unobservable, and the significance of those inputs in the fair value measurement. The Company’s assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurements.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of these instruments pursuant to the fair value hierarchy.

Available-for-Sale InvestmentDebt Securities — When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of available-for-sale investmentAFS debt securities, which are classified as Level 1. Level 1 available-for-sale investmentAFS debt securities are primarily comprised of U.S. Treasury securities. The fair value of other available-for-sale investmentAFS debt securities is generally determined by independent external pricing service providers who have experience in valuing these securities or by taking 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 providers 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 valuations ofvaluing 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 validates the pricingvaluations provided by the third-party pricing service providers to ensure that the fair value determination is consistent with the applicable accounting guidance and the assetsfinancial instruments 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 providers 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 ascertain the reliability of these sources. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the documentation received from the third-party pricing service providers regarding the valuation inputs and methodology used for each category of securities.

TheWhen pricing is unavailable from third-party pricing service providers may not provide pricing for all securities. Under such circumstances,certain securities, the Company requests market quotes from various independent external brokers and utilizes the average quoted market quotes.prices. These valuations are viewed asbased on 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.



Equity Securities — Equity securities were comprisedconsisted of mutual funds as of both June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018.2019. The Company uses net asset valueNet Asset Value (“NAV”) information to determine the fair value of these equity securities. When NAV is available periodically and the equity securities can be put back to the transfer agents at the publicly available NAV, the fair value of the equity securities is classified as Level 1. When NAV is available periodically but the equity securities may not be readily marketable at its periodic NAV in the secondary market, the fair value of these equity securities is classified as Level 2.

Interest Rate Contracts The Company enters into interest rate swap and option contracts with its borrowers to lock in attractive intermediate and long-term interest rates, resulting in the customer obtaining a synthetic fixed ratefixed-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. 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 fair value of the interest rate options, which 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 fall below (rise above) the strike rate of the floors (caps). 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. As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, 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 arewere not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative portfolios. As a result, the Company classifies these derivative instruments as Level 2 due to the observable nature of the significant inputs utilized.

Foreign Exchange Contracts The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to accommodate the business needs of its customers. For a majority of the foreign exchange 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 utilizes foreign exchange contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to mitigate 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. The fair value is determined at each reporting period based on changes in the foreign exchange 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. Due to the short-term nature of the majority of these contracts, the counterparties’ credit risks are considered nominal and result 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 are classified as Level 2. TheAs of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company held foreign currency non-deliverable forward contracts as of June 30, 2019 and held foreign swap contracts as of December 31, 2018 to hedge its net investment in its China subsidiary, East West Bank (China) Limited, a non-U.S. dollar (“USD”) functional currency subsidiary in China. These foreign currency non-deliverable forward and swap contracts were designated as net investment hedges. The fair value of foreign currency contracts is valueddetermined by comparing the contracted foreign exchange rate to the current market foreign exchange rate. Key inputs of the current market exchange rate include spot rates and forward rates of the contractual 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 Contracts — The Company may periodically enter into credit risk participation agreements (“RPAs”) to manage the credit exposure on interest rate contracts associated with the 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 majority of the inputs used to value the RPAs are observable. Accordingly, RPAs fall within Level 2.



Equity Contracts TheAs part of the loan origination process, from time to time, the Company obtains equity warrants to purchase preferred andand/or common stock of technology and life sciences companies as part of the loan origination process.it provides loans to. As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the warrants included on the Consolidated Financial Statements were from both public and private companies. The Company values 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 Company applies proxy volatilities based on the industry sectors of the private companies. The model values are 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. Since both option volatility and liquidity discount assumptions are subject to managementmanagement’s judgment, measurement uncertainty is inherent in the valuation of private companies’ equity warrants. Given that the Company holds long positions in all equity warrants, an increase in volatility assumption would generally result in an increase in fair value measurement.value. A higher liquidity discount would result in a decrease in fair value measurement.value. On a quarterly basis, the changes in the fair value of warrants from private companies are reviewed for reasonableness, and a measurement 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 of the commodity option contracts is determined using the Black’sBlack-Scholes 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 the known volumes and fixed price as specified in the swap agreement. The floating cash flows are correlated with the change of forward 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 classifies these derivative instruments as Level 2 due to the observable nature of the significant inputs utilized.

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 from the 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 evaluationvaluation 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 — As part of the Company’s monitoring process, the Company conducts ongoing due diligence on the Company’s investments in its qualified affordable housing partnerships, tax credit and other investments after the initial investment date and prior to the being placed in service date. After these investments are either acquired or placed into service, periodic monitoring is performed, which includes the quarterly review of the financial statements of the tax credit investment entity and the annual review of the financial statements of the guarantor (if any), as well as the review of the annual tax returns of the tax credit investment entity; and comparison of the actual cash distributions received against the financial projections prepared at the time when the investment was made. The Company assesses its tax credit investments for possible other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”)OTTI on an annual basis or when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the tax credit investments may not be realizable. These circumstances can include, but are not limited to the following factors:

The current fair value of the tax credit investment based upon the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount;
Change in the economic, market or technological environment that could adversely affect the investee’s operations; and
Other factors that raise doubt about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as negative cash flows from operations and the continuing prospects of the underlying operations of the investment.

All available evidence is considered in assessing whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary. Generally, none of the aforementioned factors are individually conclusive and the relative importance placed on individual facts may vary depending on the situation. In accordance with ASC 323-10-35-32, an impairment charge would only be recognized in earnings for a decline in value that is determined to be other-than-temporary.

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.

Other nonperforming assetsOther nonperforming assets are recorded at fair value upon transfers from loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based on independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimates of the foreclosed asset. The Company records an impairment when the foreclosed asset’s fair value declines below its carrying value. Other nonperforming assets are classified as Level 3.

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 Sheet when it has a legally enforceable master netting agreement and the transactions are eligible for netting under ASC 210-20-45-11, Balance Sheet Offsetting: Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Collateral received includes securities that are not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Collateral pledged consists of securities that are not netted on the Consolidated Balance Sheet against the related collateralized liability. Collateral received or pledged in resale and repurchase agreements with other financial institutions may also be sold or re-pledged by the secured party, butand is usually delivered to and held by the third-party trustees. The collateral amounts received/pledged are limited for presentation purposes to the related recognized asset/liability balance for each counterparty, and accordingly, do not include excess collateral received/pledged.

Note 76 — Derivatives

The Company uses derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, primarily interest rate risk and foreign currency risk, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Company’s goal is to manage interest rate sensitivity and volatility so that movements in interest rates are not significant to earnings or capital. The Company also uses foreign exchange contracts to manage the foreign exchange rate risk associated with certain foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, as well as the Company’s investment in its China subsidiary, East West Bank (China) Limited. The Company recognizes all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. While the Company designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship, other derivatives consist of economic hedges. For additional information on the Company’s derivatives and hedging activities, see Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Significant Accounting Policies — Derivatives Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K.



The following table presents the total notional amounts and gross fair values of the Company’s derivatives, as well as the balance sheet netting adjustments on an aggregate basis as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018.2019. The derivative assets and liabilities are presented on a gross basis prior to the application of bilateral collateral and master netting agreements, but after the variation margin payments with central clearing organizations have been applied as settlement, as applicable. Total derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and cash collateral received or paid as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018.2019. The resulting net derivative asset and liability fair values are included in Other assets and Accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In comparison, included in the total notional amount of $5.85$7.75 billion of interest rates contracts entered into with financial counterparties as of December 31, 2018,2019, was a notional amount of $1.66$2.53 billion of interest rate swaps that cleared through LCH. Applying variation margin payments as settlement to LCH cleared derivative transactions resulted in a reduction in derivative asset fair valuevalues of $1.5$2.9 million and liability fair valuevalues of $73.5 million, as of June 30, 2019. In comparison, applying variation margin payments as settlement to LCH cleared derivative transactions resulted in a reduction in derivative asset fair value of $16.4 million and liability fair value of $16.0$75.1 million as of December 31, 2018.2019.

For information on the policy for recording payments received and resuming accrual of interest on non-PCI loans that are placed on nonaccrual status, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies— Loans Held-for-Investment to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K.

PCI loans are excluded from the above aging analysis tablestable as of December 31, 2019, as the Company has elected to account for these loans on a pool level basis under ASC 310-30 at the time of acquisition. Refer to the discussion on PCI loans within this Note for additional details on interest income recognition. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018,2019, PCI loans on nonaccrual status totaled $3.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

$297 thousand.

Loans in Process of ForeclosureForeclosed Assets

The Company had $24.3 million in foreclosed assets as of March 31, 2020 compared to $1.3 million as of December 31, 2019. The Company commences the foreclosure process on consumer mortgage loans when a borrower becomes 120 days delinquent in accordance with the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau guidelines. AsThe carrying value of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, consumer mortgage loans of $5.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, were secured by residential real estate properties,loans for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process in accordance with local requirementswas $8.1 million and $7.2 million as of the applicable jurisdictions. As of both June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, no foreclosed residential2019, respectively. The foreclosure proceedings for these consumer real estate property was includedloans were initiated prior to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) passed by Congress in total net OREO of $130 thousand and $133 thousand, respectively.March 2020. In connection with our actions to support our customers during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have suspended certain mortgage foreclosure activities.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Potential troubledTroubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are individually evaluated and the type of restructuring is selected based on the loan type and the circumstances of the borrower’s financial difficulty. A TDR is a modification of the terms of a loan when the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not have otherwise considered. The Company has implemented various consumer and commercial loan modification programs to provide its borrowers relief from the economic impacts of COVID-19. In accordance with the CARES Act, the Company has elected to not apply TDR classification to any COVID-19 related loan modifications. On April 7, 2020, the federal banking regulators issued the “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised)” (the Interagency Statement). The Interagency Statement provides additional TDR relief as it clarifies that it is not necessary to consider the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition of a borrower in connection with a short-term (e.g., six months) COVID-19 related loan modification provided that the borrower is current at the date the modification program is implemented. For COVID-19 related loan modifications in the form of payment deferrals, the delinquency status will not advance and loans that were accruing at the time that the relief is provided will generally not be placed on nonaccrual status during the deferral period. Interest income will continue to be recognized over the contractual life of the loan.

Subsequent to restructuring, if a TDR that becomes delinquent, generally beyond 90 days past due, it is considered to be in default. Because TDRs are individually evaluated for impairment under the specific reserve methodology, subsequentimpairment. Subsequent defaults do not generally have a significant additional impact on the allowance for loan losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were 0 TDRs that experienced payment defaults after modifications within the previous 12 months.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses includes the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded credit commitments. The Company’s Allowance for Credit Losses Committee reviews and approves the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis.

Allowance for Collectively Evaluated Loans

For loans collectively assessed, the Company’s methodology to determine the appropriate allowance for loan losses is based on quantitative credit models, supplemented by qualitative adjustments. The Company utilize a lifetime loss rate model for the C&I portfolio; probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) models for all commercial and consumer real estate loan portfolios, and a loss rate approach for other consumer loans.

Factors incorporated into the qualitative adjustments are designed to capture economic, portfolio, operational and segmentation risks not captured by the quantitative credit models. These factors include, but are not limited to, current and forecast economic or market conditions; risks stemming from borrowers’ exposure to or dependence on the U.S. consumer market; industry specific risks inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio, such as oil price fluctuations or falling oil consumption; profiles of various loan segments; portfolio concentrations by loan type, industry, and geography; loan growth trends; internal credit risk ratings; historical loss experience; current delinquency and problem loan trends, and collateral values. The evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires numerous estimates and judgments that are susceptible to revision as more information becomes available. To the extent actual results differ from estimates or management’s judgment, the allowance for loan losses may be greater or less than future charge-offs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were no changes to the reasonable and supportable forecast period, and reversion to historical loss experience method. The forecasts of macroeconomic variables were updated to include the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, oil price declines and other assumptions. The Company uses a third-party economic forecast to estimate the expected credit losses in its quantitative credit models. The forecast uses three economic scenarios including a base forecast representing management's view of the most likely outcome and equally-probable downside and upside scenarios reflecting possible worsening and improving economic conditions, respectively. The economic outlook deteriorated towards the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2020, reflecting the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. To reflect the sudden sharp recession caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic, U.S. monetary and fiscal responses to the outbreak, oil price declines and other assumptions, the forecast utilized to estimate expected credit losses was updated in late March 2020. Unemployment rate, which is a key macroeconomic variable for the quantitative models, is projected to significantly spike in the second quarter of 2020 and begin a slower recovery but remain at an elevated level during the second half of 2020. The allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2020 also included qualitative adjustments for certain industry sectors, such as the oil and gas loan portfolio that the Company views as higher risk, where quantitative models may not have captured the additional exposure related to such industry sectors.

Allowance for Loan Losses for the Commercial Loan PortfolioThe Company’s C&I lifetime loss rate model estimates credit losses by estimating a loss rate expected over the life of a loan. This loss rate is applied to the amortized cost basis, excluding accrued interest receivables, to determine expected credit losses. This model incorporates portfolio prepayment rate and utilization rates assumptions; loan-specific risk characteristics such as internal credit risk rating, industry segment, time-to-maturity, size and credit spread at origination, and the economic and market conditions. Each of these components, along with economic forecast information through the reasonable and supportable period, are embedded in the forecasted lifetime loss rate. The lifetime loss rate model’s reasonable and supportable period spans eight quarters, thereafter immediately reverting to the historical average loss rate, expressed implicitly through the loan-level lifetime loss rate.

The Company’s CRE PD/LGD models estimate the probability that a loan will default and, in the event of default, estimate the expected credit losses upon default. The product of the PD and LGD determines the Company’s current expected credit losses. In addition to the Company’s macroeconomic outlook, these models also incorporate prepayment estimates, historical loss rates, loan duration and amortization terms, interest rates, property type, and the geographic locations of the properties collateralizing the loans. The PD/LGD model assumptions and variable inputs span the entire contractual life of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments. After a reasonable and supportable period, the forecast of future economic conditions reverts to long-run historical economic trends. The loan-specific variables apply over the lifetime of a loan.

In order to estimate the life of a loan under both models, the contractual term of the loan is adjusted for estimated prepayments, which are based on historical prepayment experience.



The Company’s macroeconomic outlook is a key driver in the commercial loan portfolio. The Company uses numerous key macroeconomic variables within its forecasts, including unemployment, real GDP and U.S. Treasury rates. The macroeconomic outlook also considers national and regional personal income, sales, employment and financial indicators that impact discrete commercial loan industry segments. The Company utilizes a probability-weighted three-scenario forecast approach to estimate the allowance for credit losses.

To the extent that information relevant to the collectability of a loan is available and not already captured by the quantitative models, the Company utilizes qualitative factors to adjust the estimate. These factors include, but are not limited to, operational risks resulting from the quality of the Company’s internal loan ratings; portfolio risks such as higher than normal growth trends, delinquencies and levels of classified loans; industry-specific risks inherent in the Company’s portfolio, and other risks borne out of geopolitical, environmental, or natural disaster events specific to the Company’s portfolio, which are not otherwise captured by the quantitative models.

Allowance for Loan Losses for the Consumer Loan Portfolio — For single-family residential and HELOC loans, PG/LGD model assumptions and variable inputs span the entire contractual life of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments. After a reasonable and supportable period, the forecast of future economic conditions reverts to long- run historical economic trends. The loan-specific variables apply over the lifetime of a loan. In addition to the consideration of the Company’s macroeconomic outlook, the PD/LGD model also incorporates prepayment estimates, historical loss rates, and loan-specific risk characteristics such as the borrower’s FICO score, loan term, interest rates, property purpose and value, and the geographic locations of the properties collateralizing the loans.

For other consumer loans, the Company uses a loss rate approach. In order to estimate the life of a loan, the contractual term of the loan is adjusted for estimated prepayments, which are based on historical prepayment experience.

The Company’s macroeconomic outlook is a key driver in the residential mortgage portfolio. The Company uses several macroeconomic variables, including unemployment rate and home price index, for its residential mortgage portfolio at the national, state and Metropolitan Statistical Area level. The macroeconomic outlook takes into account national and regional personal income, employment and financial indicators impacting the residential loans industry. For other consumer loans, the Company qualitatively adjusts the expected credit loss using real GDP, unemployment, U.S. Treasury Spread and the S&P 500 index. The Company utilizes a probability-weighted three-scenario forecast approach to estimate the allowance for credit losses.

Individually Assessed LoansWhen a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other loans, such as in the case for certain nonaccrual or TDR loans, the Company estimates the allowance for loan losses on an individual loan basis. The allowance for loan losses for individually evaluated loans is measured as the difference between the recorded value of the loans and their fair value. For loans evaluated individually, the Company uses one of three different asset valuation measurement methods: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows; (2) the fair value of collateral less costs to sell; (3) the loan's observable market price. If an individually evaluated loan is determined to be collateral dependent, the Company applies the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell method. If an individually evaluated loan is determined to not be collateral dependent, the Company uses the present value of future cash flows or the observable market value of the loan.

Collateral-Dependent Loans — When a loan is collateral dependent, the allowance is measured on an individual loan basis and is limited to the difference between the recorded value and fair value of the collateral less cost of disposal or sale. As of March 31, 2020, collateral dependent commercial and consumer loans totaled $34.6 million and $17.8 million, respectively. The Company's commercial collateral-dependent loans were secured by real estate or business properties. The Company's consumer collateral dependent loans were all residential mortgage loans, secured by the underlying real estate. As of March 31, 2020, the collateral value of the properties securing each of these collateral dependent loans, net of selling costs, exceeded the amortized cost of the individual loans, except for one C&I loan, against which there was a recorded allowance of $416 thousand. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, there was no significant deterioration or changes in the collaterals securing these loans.

As of March 31, 2020, the allowance for loan losses amounted to $557.0 million or 1.55% of loans held-for-investment, compared with $358.3 million or 1.03% of loans held-for-investment as of December 31, 2019, and $317.9 million or 0.97% of loans held-for-investment as of March 31, 2019. The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year increase in allowance for loan losses was largely due to the adoption of ASU 2016-13, which increased the allowance for loan losses by $125.2 million; deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and outlook as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which drove a $73.9 million provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and loan growth. First quarter 2020 gross charge-offs of $13.0 million were primarily from C&I loans, and were almost entirely offset by recoveries, primarily from CRE loans, resulting in net charge-offs of $898 thousand or annualized 0.01% of average loans held-for-investment. The C&I gross charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 totaled $12.0 million and were primarily from the oil and gas loan portfolio.

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’smember’s ability to manage the entity, which is indicative of power inover them. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss in connection with these partnerships consistsconsist of the unamortized investment balance and any tax credits claimed that may become 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.A CLO is a VIE that purchases a pool of assets consisting primarily of non-investment grade corporate loans and issues multiple tranches of notes to investors to fund the asset purchases and pay upfront expenses associated with forming the CLO. The Company serves as the collateral manager of a CLO that closed in the fourth quarter of 2019 and retained substantially all of the investment grade rated securities issued by the CLO. In accordance with GAAP, the Company does not consolidate the CLO as it does not hold interests that could potentially be significant to the CLO. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss from the CLO is equal to the carrying amount of the retained securities of $259.9 million and $284.7 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Note 109 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets    

Goodwill

Total goodwill was $465.7 million and $465.5 million as of June 30, 2019both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, respectively.2019. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in an acquisition. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, (atequivalent to the same level as the Company’s business segment)segments. This assessment is performed on an annual basis as of December 31 of each year, or more frequently if events or circumstances, such as adverse changes in the economic or business environment, indicate there may be impairment. The Company organizes its operation into three3 reporting segments: (1) Consumer and Business Banking; (2) Commercial Banking; and (3) Other.

Note 11 — Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and 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. As such, 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, such as costs that would qualify for capitalization. The Company also elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term and to assess 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.

Lessee Arrangements

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was obligated under a number of non-cancellable leases, predominantly operating leases for certain retail banking branches and office spaces in the U.S. and Greater China. These operating leases expire in the years ranging from 2019 to 2030, exclusive of renewal and termination options. Some of these leases include options to extend the leases for up to 15 years, while certain leases include lessee termination options. 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 the options. A portion of the operating leases includes variable lease payments, 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. The Company also has equipment and air rights finance leases which expire in the years ranging from 2021 to 2047.

The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the later of the adoption date or the lease commencement date is used to determine the present value of future payments. This approximates a collateralized borrowing rate over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

Lessor Arrangements

The Company finances equipment under direct financing and sales-type leases to its commercial customers. As of June 30, 2019, the total net investment in direct financing and sales-type leases was $153.3 million with expiration in the years ranging from 2019 to 2027, exclusive of renewal options. Some of the leases include options to extend the leases for up to one year and some include early buyout options. 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, which is not guaranteed by the lessee or any third party, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease. In certain cases, the Company obtains residual value insurance from third parties and/or guarantees from the lessee to manage the risk associated with the residual value of the leased assets. The carrying amount of guaranteed residual value, which was included in Loans held-for-investment on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, was $31.5 million as of June 30, 2019.

Note 1210 Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments to ExtentExtend Credit — In the normal course of business, the Company provides customers loan commitments on predetermined terms. These outstanding commitments to extend credit are not reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. While the Company does not anticipate losses as a result of these transactions, commitments to extend credit are included in determining the appropriate level of the allowance for unfunded credit commitments, and outstanding commercial and standby letters of creditSBLCs. (“SBLCs”).



The following table presents the Company’s credit-related commitments as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018:2019:
($ in thousands) June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
Loan commitments $5,391,182
 $5,147,821
 $4,914,602
 $5,330,211
Commercial letters of credit and SBLCs $1,830,902
 $1,796,647
 $1,863,072
 $1,860,414


Loan commitments are agreements to lend to customers 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 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 June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, total letters of credit of $1.83$1.86 billion consisted of SBLCs in the amount of $1.77$1.81 billion and commercial letters of credit in the amount of $62.0$56.0 million.

The Company applies the same credit underwriting criteria to extend 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 a 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,commitments and amounted to $12.9$20.8 million as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and $12.4$11.1 million as of December 31, 2018. These amounts are included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.2019.

Guarantees — The Company sells or securitizes single-family and multifamily residential loans with recourse in the ordinary course of business. The recourse component inof the loans sold or securitized with recourse is considered a guarantee. As the guarantor, the Company is obligated to repurchase up to the recourse component of the loans if the loans default. The following table presents the types of guarantees the Company had outstanding as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018:2019:

The Company’s recourse reserve related to these guarantees is included in the allowance for unfunded credit reservescommitments and totaled $88$65 thousand and $123$76 thousand as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. The allowance for unfunded credit reservescommitments is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company continues to experience minimal losses from the single-family and multifamily residential loan portfolios sold or securitized with recourse.

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 98 — Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Partnerships, Tax Credit and Other Investments, Net and Variable Interest Entities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. As of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, these commitments were $157.2$199.1 million and $161.0$193.8 million, respectively. These commitments are included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

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 no0 contract assetassets or receivable balancescontract liabilities as of both June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018.2019.

The Company offers a range of deposit products to individuals and businesses, which includeincludes 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 monthly account fees may vary with the amount of average monthly deposit balances maintained, or the Company may charge a fixed monthly account maintenance fee if certain average balances are not maintained. 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 or 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 provideprovides 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. This is becauseobligations 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 14 — Income Taxes

The following table presents the income tax expense and the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:
 
($ in thousands) Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
 2019 2018 % Change 2019 2018 % Change
Income before income taxes $223,177
 $196,992
 13% $418,268
 $408,776
 2%
Income tax expense $72,797
 $24,643
 195% $103,864
 $49,395
 110%
Effective tax rate 32.6% 12.5% 20% 24.8% 12.1% 13%
 


The effective tax rates were 32.6% and 24.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 12.5% and 12.1% for the same periods in 2018. The year-over-year increases in the effective tax rate were primarily due to the $30.1 million of additional income tax expense recorded in the second quarter of 2019 to reverse certain previously claimed tax credits related to the Company’s investment in DC Solar. In addition, a year-over-year decrease in tax credits recognized from investments in renewable energy and historic rehabilitation tax credit projects contributed to the higher effective tax rates during three and six months ended June 30, 2019.



Investors in DC Solar funds, including the Company, received tax credits for making these renewable energy investments. The Company had claimed tax credits of approximately $53.9 million in the Consolidated Financial Statements between 2014 and 2018, reduced by a deferred tax liability of $5.7 million related to the 50% tax basis reduction, for a net impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements of $48.2 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company reversed $33.6 million out of the $53.9 million previously claimed tax credits, and $3.5 million out of the $5.7 million deferred tax liability, resulting in $30.1 million of additional income tax expense.

ASC 740-10-25-6 states in part, that an entity shall initially recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The term “more-likely-than-not” means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms “examined” and “upon examination” also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The level of evidence that is necessary and appropriate to support the technical merits of a tax position is subject to judgment and depends on available information as of the balance sheet date. Under ASC 740, Income Taxes, an entity should not consider new information that is received after the balance sheet date, when evaluating an uncertain tax position as of the balance sheet date. Based on the available information known as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, the Company reassessed the technical merits of the position taken and concluded, based on initial and ongoing due diligence performed by the Company, it believed that the DC Solar related tax credits the Company had previously claimed continued to meet the more-likely-than-not criterion for recognition as of those dates.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company, in coordination with other fund investors, engaged an unaffiliated third party inventory firm to report on the actual number of mobile solar generators in existence. As of June 30, 2019, based on the latest inventory report, none of the mobile service generators that had been purchased by the Company’s 2017 and 2018 tax credit funds were found. On the other hand, a vast majority of the Company’s mobile solar generators purchased by the Company’s 2014 and 2015 tax credit funds were found. Therefore, as of June 30, 2019, based on this inventory information, as well as management’s best judgments regarding the future settlement of the related tax positions with the Internal Revenue Service, the Company concluded that a portion of the previously claimed tax credits would be recaptured. Accordingly, the Company recorded $30.1 million of income tax expense during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

The Company continues to conduct an ongoing investigation to gather information related to this matter, including tracking asset seizures of DC Solar and ongoing federal investigations. There can be no assurance that the Company will not recognize additional income tax expense as new information becomes available, or due to changes in tax laws, case law and regulations; or that the Company will not ultimately need to reverse the remaining tax credits previously claimed. For further discussion related to the Company’s investment in DC Solar and the Company’s impairment evaluation and monitoring process in tax credit investments, refer to Note 9 — Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Partnerships, Tax Credit and Other Investments, Net and Variable Interest Entities and Note 4 — Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, respectively.

RSUsRestricted Stock Units 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. RSUsgrant and are authorized to settle predominantly in shares of the Company’s common stock. Certain RSUs will be settled in cash, which subjects these RSUs to variable accounting whereby the compensation cost is adjusted to fair value based on changes in the Company’s stock price up to the settlement date.cash. RSUs entitle the recipient to receive cash dividend equivalents to any dividends paid on the underlying common stock during the period the RSUs are outstanding. RSUThe 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“performance-based RSUs.” AllSubstantially all RSUs are subject to forfeiture until vested.vested unless otherwise specified in the employment terms.

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 zero0 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 determineas 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 projected outcome of the performance criteria. Compensation costs of both time-based awards and performance-based awards are estimated based on awards ultimately expected to vest and recognized on a straight-line basis from the grant date until the vesting date of each grant.

Note 1815 — Business Segments

The Company organizes its operations into three3 reportable operating segments: (1) Consumer and Business Banking; (2) Commercial Banking; and (3) Other. These segments are defined by the type of customers served, and the related products and services provided, andprovided. The segments reflect how financial information is currently evaluated by management. Operating segment results are based on the Company’s internal management reporting process, which reflects assignments and allocations of certain balance sheet and income statement items. Because of the interrelationships among the segments, theThe information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities.entities due to the interrelationships among the segments.

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 segmentIt 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 Bankingthis 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,and land loans, 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.


hedging.

The remaining centralized functions, including the corporate treasury activities of the Company and eliminations of inter-segment amounts, have been aggregated and included in the Other segment, which provides broad administrative support to the two2 core segments, namely the Consumer and Business Banking and the Commercial Banking segments.

The Company utilizes an internal reporting process to measure the performance of the three3 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 (“FTP”) process. The process charges a cost to fund loans (“FTP charges for 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. The internal funds transfer pricing rates, which are applied to both FTP charges for loans and FTP credits for deposits, increase as the market interest rates increase, 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 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’ net interest 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 business segment are assigned to the related businessthat segment. Indirect costs, including technology-related costs and corporate overhead, are allocated based on a segment’s estimated usage using factors including but not limited to, full-time equivalent employees, net interest margin,income, 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 corporate treasury-related expenses and insignificant unallocated expenses.

The corporate treasury function within the Other segment is responsible for liquidity and interest rate management of the Company. The Company’s internal FTP process is also managed by the corporate 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’ net interest margins and profitability. The FTP process charges a cost to fund loans (“FTP charges for loans”) and allocates credits for funds provided from deposits (“FTP credits for deposits”) using internal FTP rates. FTP charges for loans are determined based on a matched cost of funds, which is tied to the pricing and term characteristic of the loans. FTP credits for deposits are based on matched funding credit rates, which are tied to the implied or stated maturity of the deposits. FTP credits for deposits reflect the long-term value generated by the deposits. The net spread between the total internal FTP charges and credits is recorded as part of net interest income in the Other segment. The FTP process transfers the corporate interest rate risk exposure to the treasury function within the Other segment, where such exposures are centrally managed.

The Company’s internal FTP assumptions and methodologies are reviewed at least annually to ensure that the process is reflective of current market conditions. During the firstthird quarter of 2019, the Company enhanced its segment cost allocationFTP methodology related to stock compensation expensedeposits by setting a minimum floor rate for the FTP credits paid for deposits in consideration of the flattened and bonus accrual. Effective first quarter of 2019, stock compensation expense is allocatedinverted yield curve. This methodology has been retrospectively applied to all three segments, whereas 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 informationfinancial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 has been restated to conform to the current presentation.March 31, 2019.

The following tables present the operating results and other key financial measures for the individual operating segments as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and 2018:2019:

Overview

The following discussion provides information about the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of East West Bancorp, Inc. (referred to herein on an unconsolidated basis as “East West” and on a consolidated basis as the “Company”, “EWBC” or “we”), and its subsidiaries, including its subsidiary bank, East West Bank and its subsidiaries (referred to herein as “East West Bank” or the “Bank”). This information is intended to facilitate the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this report, and the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 27, 20192020 (the “Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K”).

Company Overview

East West is a bank holding company incorporated in Delaware on August 26, 1998 and is registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company commenced business on December 30, 1998 when, pursuant to a reorganization, it acquired all of the voting stock of the Bank, which became its principal asset. The Bank is an independent commercial bank headquartered in California that has a strong focus on the financial service needs of the Chinese-American community. Through over 130125 locations in the United States (“U.S.”) and Greater China, the Company provides a full range of consumer and commercial products and services through three business segments: Consumer and Business Banking, Commercial Banking, with the remaining operations included in Other. The Company’s principal activity is lending to and accepting deposits from businesses and individuals. The primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is principally derived from the difference between interest earned on loans and investmentdebt securities and interest paid on deposits and other funding sources. As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company had $42.89$45.95 billion in assets and approximately 3,300 full-time equivalent employees. For additional information on products and services provided by the Bank, see Item 1. Business — Banking Services of the Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K.

Impact of COVID-19

In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported in China, and rapidly spread to other countries, including the U.S. In March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) characterized COVID-19 as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. On January 31, 2020, the U.S. declared a national public health emergency, and the President announced a National Emergency on March 13, 2020. Many states and municipalities have declared emergencies as well. The COVID-19 outbreak and public health response to contain it have resulted in economic and financial market deterioration as of March 31, 2020, which did not exist at the beginning of the quarter. The recession resulting from government-mandated closures of certain businesses, and “stay-at-home” orders has significantly impacted business investment and consumer spending, and heightened volatility in the global financial markets. These conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have created financial difficulties for many of the Company’s customers and as a result, some borrowers may not be able to satisfy their obligations. Because many of the Company’s loans are secured by real estate, a potential decline in real estate markets could negatively impact the Company’s business, financial condition and the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, potentially increasing the level of loan charge-offs and the provision for credit losses. In the first quarter of 2020, the impact of COVID-19 pandemic was not yet evident in the Company’s balance sheet growth trends or in most of our asset quality metrics. However, the broad-based response to combat COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic impact had a material impact on the Company’s first quarter 2020 provision for credit losses.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020. As part of the CARES Act passed by Congress, various initiatives to protect individuals, businesses and local economies, such as the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) were established. The Company participates in the SBA PPP, and intends to participate in additional new government-sponsored programs, as they are enacted. Through May 6, 2020, we funded over $1.84 billion of SBA-approved PPP loans to over 6,700 customers. In addition, to provide relief to customers during these turbulent times, we are providing payment accommodations for certain small-to medium-sized business, nonprofit organization and consumer customers impacted by COVID-19, and pausing action on collections and foreclosures on certain residential mortgage loans. Although we are uncertain of the full magnitude and duration of the business and economic impact from the unprecedented public health efforts to contain and combat the spread of COVID-19, we could experience material declines in revenues, profitability and/or cash flows in one or more periods in 2020, compared to the corresponding prior-year periods and compared to our expectations at the beginning of the 2020 fiscal year. Further discussion of the potential impacts on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic is provided below under Part II, Item 1A - Risk Factors.

Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 Adoption

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, often referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model, which establishes a single allowance framework for all financial assets carried at amortized cost, and for certain off-balance sheet exposures. Replacing the prior incurred loss model, this framework requires that management estimate credit losses over the full remaining expected life of a loan, and consider expected future changes in macroeconomic conditions. The adoption of CECL increased the allowance for loan losses by $125.2 million, and the allowance for unfunded credit commitments by $10.5 million. As a result, the Company recorded an after-tax decrease to retained earnings of $98.0 million on January 1, 2020.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

The Company’s primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets andless interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. Net interest income and net interest margin are impacted by several factors, including changes in average balances and composition of interest-earning assets and funding sources, market interest rate fluctuations and the 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.

SecondFirst quarter 20192020 noninterest expense was $177.7$178.9 million, an increasea decrease of $244 thousand,$8.0 million or 4%, compared to $177.4with $186.9 million for the second quarter of 2018. The increasessame period in compensation and employee benefits and other operating expense were almost fully offset by decreases in amortization of tax credits and other investments, consulting expense, and deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments. For the first half of 2019, noninterest expense was $364.6 million, an increase of $18.0 million or 5%, compared to $346.6 million for the first half of 2018.2019. This increasedecrease was primarily attributabledue to increasesdecreases in compensation and employee benefits, other operating expense and amortization of tax credit and other investments, partially offset by decreases in deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments and consultingother operating expense.

Compensation and employee benefits increased by $6.7 million or 7% to $100.5 million for the second quarter of 2019, and increased by $13.7 million or 7% to $202.8 million for the first half of 2019. These increases were primarily attributable to staffing growth to support the Company’s growing business and annual employee merit increases.

Deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments decreased by $2.9 million or 50% to $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2019, and decreased by $6.1 million or 50% to $6.0 million for the first half of 2019. These decreases were primarily due to lower Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assessment rates. Effective October 1, 2018, the FDIC removed the temporary surcharge applied on the larger banks’ assessment base, given that the Deposit Insurance Fund Reserve Ratio exceeded its statutory minimum requirement of 1.35%.

Consulting expense decreased by $3.1 million or 60% to $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2019, and decreased by $3.3 million or 45% to $4.1 million for the first half of 2019. These decreases were primarily due to a reduction in consulting expense related to digital banking, loan-related operations and compliance projects.

Other operating expense primarily consists of loan related expenses, marketing, telecommunications and postage, travel, charitable contributions, loan-related expenses and other miscellaneous expense categories. Other operating expense increased by $1.9The $1.2 million or 9%5% decrease to $22.7$21.1 million for the secondfirst quarter of 2019,2020, was primarily due to increasesdecreases in loan-related, marketing, other miscellaneous and corporate eventtravel expenses, partially offset by decreasesan increase in recruitment and travelloan related expenses. For the first half of 2019, other operating expense increased by $6.6 million or 17% to $45.0 million, primarily due to increases in marketing and loan-related expenses, as well as lower gains on sale of, other real estate owned (“OREO”), partially offset by a decrease in recruitment expense.

Amortization of tax credit and other investments decreased by $3.7$7.6 million or 18%30% to $16.7$17.3 million for the secondfirst quarter of 2020, compared with the first quarter of 2019. In the first quarter of 2019, compared to the second quarter of 2018. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease inCompany fully wrote off the tax credit investments placed in service during this period, partially offset by $2.9 million in other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charges related to DC Solar and recorded a historic tax credit investment and a Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) investment. For the first half of 2019, amortization$7.0 million impairment charge, which was included in Amortization of tax credit and other investments increased by $3.8 million or 10% to $41.6 million, compared toinvestments. There was no such impairment in the first half of 2018. This increase was due to the $7.0 full write-off of the DC Solar tax credit investments, as well as the $2.9 million OTTI charges related to a historic tax credit investment and a CRA investment, partially offset by a decrease in tax credit investments placed in service during thiscurrent period.

Impact of Investment in DC Solar Tax Credit Funds

The Company invested in four solar energy tax credit funds in the years 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018 as a limited member. These tax credit funds engaged in the acquisition and leasing of mobile solar generators through DC Solar entities. The Company’s investmentsInvestors in the DC Solar funds, including the Company, received tax credit funds qualifiedcredits for federalmaking renewable energy investments. Between 2014 and 2018, the Company had claimed energy tax credit under Section 48credits of approximately $53.9 million, partially reduced by a deferred tax liability of $5.7 million related to the Internal Revenue Code50% tax basis reduction, for a net impact of 1986, as amended. The Company also received a “should” level legal opinion from an external law firm supporting the legal structure of the investments for tax credit purposes. These investments were recorded in Investments in tax credit and other investments, net on$48.2 million to the Consolidated Balance Sheet and were accounted for under the equity method of accounting. 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 special agent stated that DC Solar was operating a fraudulent “Ponzi-like scheme” and that the majority of the mobile solar generators sold to investors and managed by DC Solar, as well as the majority of the related lease revenues claimed to have been received by DC Solar may not have existed.
Financial Statements. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company fully wrote off its tax credit investments related to DC Solar and recorded a $7.0 million OTTIother-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charge within Amortization of tax credit and other investments on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The Company concluded at that time that there would be no material future cash flows related to these investments, in part because of the fact that DC Solar has ceased operations and its bankruptcy case had been converted from Chapter 11 to Chapter 7 on March 22, 2019. More discussion regarding the Company’s impairment evaluation and monitoring process of tax credit investments is provided in Note 4 — Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
Investors in DC Solar funds, including the Company, received tax credits for making these renewable energy investments. The Company had claimed tax credits of approximately $53.9 million in the Consolidated Financial Statements between 2014 and 2018, reduced by a deferred tax liability of $5.7 million related to the 50% tax basis reduction, for a net impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements of $48.2 million. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company concluded that a portion of the previously claimed tax credits would be recaptured, and reversed $33.6 million out of the $53.9 million previously claimed tax credits, and $3.5 million out of the $5.7 million deferred tax liability, resulting in $30.1 million of additional income tax expense.
ASC 740-10-25-6 states in part, that an entity shall initially recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The term “more-likely-than-not” means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms “examined” and “upon examination” also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The level of evidence that is necessary and appropriate to support the technical merits of a tax position is subject to judgment and depends on available information as of the balance sheet date. Under ASC 740, Income Taxes, an entity should not consider new information that is received after the balance sheet date, when evaluating an uncertain tax position as of the balance sheet date. Based on the available information known as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, the Company reassessed the technical merits of the position taken and concluded, based on initial and ongoing due diligence performed by the Company, it believed that the DC Solar related tax credits the Company had previously claimed continued to meet the more-likely-than-not criterion for recognition as of those dates.
During the first quarter of 2019, the Company, in coordination with other fund investors, engaged an unaffiliated third party inventory firm to report on the actual number of mobile solar generators in existence. As of June 30, 2019, based on the latest inventory report, none of the mobile service generators that had been purchased by the Company’s 2017 and 2018 tax credit funds were found. On the other hand, a vast majority of the Company’s mobile solar generators purchased by the Company’s 2014 and 2015 tax credit funds were found. Therefore, as of June 30, 2019, based on this inventory information, as well as management’s best judgments regarding the future settlement of the related tax positions with the Internal Revenue Service, the Company concluded that a portion of the previously claimed tax credits would be recaptured. Accordingly, the Company recorded $30.1 million in income tax expense in the second quarter of 2019.
The Company continues to conduct an ongoing investigation to gather For additional information related to this matter, including tracking asset seizures of DC Solarsolar, refer to Note 8 — Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Partnerships, Tax Credit and ongoing federal investigations. There can be no assurance thatOther Investments, Net and Variable Interest Entities and Note 14 — Income Taxes to the Company will not recognize additional income tax expense as new information becomes available, or due to changes in tax laws, case law and regulations; or that the Company will not ultimately need to reverse the remaining tax credits previously claimed. For additional information on the risks surrounding the Company’s investments in tax-advantaged projects, see Item 1A. Risk Factors Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K.
Tax Impact of CARES Act

On March 27, 2020, the President signed the CARES Act, a $2.2 trillion economic stimulus bill to help individuals and businesses that have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. Among other provisions, the CARES Act allows net operating losses, which were modified with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, to be carried back five years. It also modifies the useful lives of qualified leasehold improvements, relaxing the excess loss limitations on pass-through and increasing the interest expense limitation. The Company does not expect the CARES Act to have a material tax impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operating Segment Results

The Company organizes its operations into three reportable operating segments: (1) Consumer and Business Banking; (2) Commercial Banking; and (3) Other. These segments are defined by the type of customers served and the related products and services provided. The segments reflect how financial information is currently evaluated by management. For additional description of the Company’s internal management reporting process, including the segment cost allocation methodology, see Note 15 — Business Segments to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Net interest income before provision for credit losses of each segment represents the difference between actual interest income earned on loans and interest expense paid on customer deposits of the segment, adjusted for funding charges for loans or funding credits for deposits through the Company’s internal funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) process.During the third quarter of 2019, the Company enhanced its FTP methodology related to deposits by setting a minimum floor rate for the FTP credits for deposits in consideration of the flattened and inverted yield curve. This methodology has been retrospectively applied to the segment financial results for the first quarter of 2019.

Consumer and Business Banking

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 segmentIt 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 Bankingthis segment include wealth management, treasury management and foreign exchange services.

First quarter of 2020 net interest income before provision for credit losses for this segment was $152.6 million, a decrease of $32.5 million or 18%, compared with $185.1 million for the same period in 2019. Year-over-year, interest income earned on loans increased by 1%, driven by average loan growth that was nearly entirely offset by a decrease in average loan yields; interest expense paid on deposits decreased by 19%, driven by a decline in the average cost of deposits; FTP funding charges assessed for loans decreased, reflecting a decline in the loans FTP rate, and FTP credits received for deposits also decreased, reflecting a decline in the deposits FTP rate. Combined, these factors drove the 18% year-over-year decrease in segment net interest income before provision for credit losses, with the largest driver of the negative variance being lower FTP credits received for deposits.

Average loans for this segment were $11.27 billion, an increase of $917.7 million or 9% from $10.35 billion for the same period in 2019, primarily driven by an increase in single-family residential loans. Average deposits for this segment were $25.59 billion, essentially flat compared with average deposits of $25.05 billion for the same period in 2019.



Commercial Banking

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 and land 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.hedging.

The remaining centralizedCommercial Banking segment reported segment net income of $57.1 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared with $62.3 million for the same period in 2019. The $5.2 million or 8% decrease in segment net income reflected an increase in provision for credit losses, partially offset by increases in net interest income before provision for credit losses and noninterest income. First quarter 2020 provision for credit losses was $66.1 million, an increase of $46.5 million or 238%, compared with $19.6 million for the same period in 2019. This increase was primarily due to the deterioration in macroeconomic conditions and outlook as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic during the first quarter of 2020.

Net interest income before provision for credit losses for this segment was $183.5 million, an increase of $30.8 million or 20% compared with $152.7 million for the same period in 2019. Year-over-year, interest income earned on loans decreased by 5%, driven by a decrease in average loan yields, which more than offset income growth from average loan growth; interest expense paid on deposits decreased by 14%, driven by a decline in the average cost of deposits; FTP funding charges assessed for loans decreased, reflecting a decline in the loans FTP rate, and FTP credits received for deposits also decreased, reflecting a decline in the deposits FTP rate. Combined, these factors drove the 20% year-over-year increase in segment net interest income before provision for credit losses, with the largest driver of the positive variance being lower FTP funding charges assessed for loans.

Average loans for this segment were $23.88 billion, an increase of $1.82 billion or 8% from $22.06 billion for the same period in 2019, primarily driven by growth in CRE loans. Average deposits for this segment were $9.18 billion, an increase of $1.16 billion or 14% from $8.02 billion for the same period in 2019, primarily driven by growth in time deposits and noninterest-bearing demand deposits.

First quarter 2020 noninterest income was $32.5 million, an increase of $8.0 million or 32%, compared with $24.5 million for the same period in 2019. This increase was mainly attributable to increases in interest rate contracts and other derivative income and foreign exchange income. The increase in interest rate contracts and other derivative income was driven by strong customer demand for interest rate swaps in response to manage risk associated with increased interest rate volatility, partially offset by a negative credit valuation adjustment of related derivative products. The increase in foreign exchange income was primarily driven by favorable revaluation of certain foreign currency-denominated balance sheet items and an increased volume of foreign exchange transactions.

Other

Centralized functions, including the corporate treasury activities of the Company 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, namely the Consumer and Business Banking and the Commercial Banking segments.

The Company utilizes an internal reporting process to measure the performanceOther segment reported segment income before income taxes of the three operating segments within the Company. The internal reporting process derives operating$10.0 million and segment results by utilizing allocation methodologies for revenue and expenses. Net interestnet income of each segment represents$34.5 million for the difference between actual interest earned on assets and interest incurred on liabilitiesfirst quarter of the segment, adjusted for funding charges or credits through the Company’s internal funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) process.2020, reflecting an income tax benefit of $24.5 million. The process charges a cost to fund loans (“FTP charges for 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. The internal funds transfer pricing rates, which are applied to both FTP charges for loans and FTP credit for deposits, increase as the market interest rates increase, and vice versa. The treasury function within the Other segment is responsiblereported segment income before income taxes of $37 thousand and segment net income of $24.5 million for the 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 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 providing a reasonable and consistent basis for the measurement of its business segments’ net interest 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 a 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 quarterreflecting an income tax benefit of 2019, stock compensation expense is allocated to all three segments, whereas 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 second quarter and first half of 2018 has been restated to conform to the current presentation.

Collectability is generally assessed based on economic and business conditions, the borrower’s financial conditions and the adequacy of collateral, if any.

Period-over-period changes to nonaccrual loans represent loans that are placed on nonaccrual status in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, offset by reductions for loans that are paid down, charged off, sold, foreclosed, or no longer classified as nonaccrual as a result of continued performance and improvement in the borrowers’ financial condition and loan repayments. Nonaccrual loans increased by $32.3 million or 38% to $118.0 million as of June 30, 2019 from $85.7 million as of December 31, 2018. Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of loans held-for-investment increased from 0.26% as of December 31, 2018 to 0.35% as of June 30, 2019. C&I nonaccrual loans were 62% and 51% of total nonaccrual loans as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Credit risks related to the C&I nonaccrual loans were partially mitigated by the collateral in place. As of June 30, 2019, $41.0 million or 35% of non-PCI nonaccrual loans were less than 90 days delinquent. In comparison, $23.8 million or 28% of non-PCI nonaccrual loans were less than 90 days delinquent as of December 31, 2018.

For additional details regarding the Company’s non-PCI nonaccrual loan policy, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies— Loans Held-for-Investment to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K.

A loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider. Loans with contractual terms that have been modified as a TDR and are current at the time of restructuring may remain on accrual status if there is demonstrated performance prior to the restructuring and payment in full under the restructured terms is expected. Otherwise, TDRs are placed on nonaccrual status and are reported as nonperforming, until the borrower demonstrates a sustained period of performance, generally six months, and the ability to repay the loan according to the contractual terms. If accruing TDRs cease to perform in accordance with their modified contractual terms, the loans are placed on nonaccrual status and reported as nonperforming TDRs.

Performing TDRs increased by $57.4 million or 173% from $33.2 million as of December 31, 2018 to $90.6 million as of June 30, 2019. The increase reflects additional new performing C&I loans that were designated as TDRs and the transfer of a HELOC loan from nonperforming status. Nonperforming TDRs increased by $7.3 million or 24% from $30.3 million as of December 31, 2018 to $37.6 million as of June 30, 2019. This increase reflects one new nonperforming C&I loan that was designated as TDR, partially offset by paydowns and payoffs of several nonperforming C&I and CRE loans, and the transfer of a HELOC loan to performing status.

The Company’s impaired loans are predominantly made up of non-PCI loans held-for-investment on nonaccrual status and any non-PCI loans modified as a TDR, on either accrual or nonaccrual status. See Note 1Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Troubled Debt Restructurings and Impaired Loans to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s TDR and impaired loan policies. As of June 30, 2019, the allowance for loan losses included $16.9 million for impaired loans with a total recorded investment balance of $66.3 million. In comparison, the allowance for loan losses included $4.0 million for impaired loans with a total recorded investment balance of $31.1 million as of December 31, 2018.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Allowance for credit losses consists of allowance for loan losses and allowance for unfunded credit reserves. Allowance for loan losses is comprised of reserves for two components, performing loans with unidentified incurred losses, and nonperforming loans and TDRs (collectively, impaired loans), and excludes loans held-for-sale. The allowance for loan losses is calculated after analyzing internal historical loan loss experience, internal loan risk ratings, economic conditions, bank risks, portfolio risks and any other pertinent information. Unfunded credit reserves include reserves provided for unfunded lending commitments, standby letters of credit (“SBLCs”), and recourse obligations for loans sold. The allowance for credit losses is increased by the provision for credit losses which is charged against the current period’s results of operations, and is increased or decreased by the amount of net recoveries or charge-offs, respectively, during the period. The allowance for unfunded credit reserves is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Net adjustments to the allowance for unfunded credit reserves are included in Provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

The Company is committed to maintaining the allowance for credit losses at a level that is commensurate with the estimated inherent losses in the loan portfolio, including unfunded credit reserves. In addition to regular quarterly reviews of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, the Company performs ongoing assessments of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. While the Company believes that the allowance for loan losses is appropriate as of June 30, 2019, future allowance levels may increase or decrease based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, loan growth, portfolio performance and general economic conditions. The calculation of the allowance for credit losses involves subjective and complex judgments. For additional details about the Company’s allowance for credit losses, including the methodologies used, see Note 8 — Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q and Item 7. MD&A — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Allowance for Credit Losses to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K.

As of June 30, 2019, the allowance for loan losses amounted to $330.6 million or 0.98% of loans held-for-investment. This compares to $311.3 million or 0.96% of loans held-for-investment as of December 31, 2018 and $301.6 million or 1.00% of loans held-for-investment as of June 30, 2018, respectively. The increase in allowance for loan losses was largely due to loan portfolio growth.

The provision for credit losses includes the provision for loan losses and unfunded credit reserves. A provision for credit losses is charged to income to bring the allowance for credit losses to a level deemed appropriate by the Company based on its calculation methodology. The provision for credit losses was $19.2 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $15.5 million for the second quarter of 2018. For the first half of 2019, the provision for credit losses was $41.8 million, compared to $35.8 million for the first half of 2018. The increases in the provision for credit losses for both the second quarter and first half of 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018, reflected loan portfolio growth and an increase in the specific valuation allowance. The increase in the specific valuation allowance was attributable to newly impaired C&I loans during the second quarter of 2019.



The Company believes that the allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was appropriate to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio, including unfunded credit commitments.

PCI loan losses are estimated collectively for groups of loans with similar characteristics. As of June 30, 2019, the Company established an allowance for loan losses of $5 thousand for $270.9 million of PCI loans. In comparison, the Company established an allowance for loan losses of $22 thousand for $308.0 million of PCI loans as of December 31, 2018. The allowance balances for PCI loans were attributed to CRE loans as of both dates.

Capital

The Company maintains an adequatea strong capital base to support its anticipated asset growth, operating needs and credit risks, and to ensure that the Company and the Bank are in compliance with all regulatory capital guidelines. The Company engages in regular capital planning processes on at least an annual basis to optimize the use of available capital and to appropriately plan for future capital needs, allocating capital to existing and future business activities. Furthermore, the Company conducts capital stress tests as part of its capital planning process. The stress tests enable the Company to assess the impact of adverse changes in the economy and interest rates on its capital base.

In March 2020, the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $500.0 million of the Company’s common stock. This $500.0 million repurchase authorization is inclusive of the Company’s $100.0 million stock repurchase authorization previously outstanding. The Company determines the timing and amount of repurchases, based on its assessment of various factors, including prevailing market conditions, alternate uses of capital, liquidity and the economic environment. The Company repurchased 4,471,682 shares at a total cost of $146.0 million during the first quarter of 2020. The Company's total remaining available share repurchase authorization as of March 31, 2020 was $354.0 million.

Regulatory Capital and Ratios

The federal banking agencies have risk-based capital adequacy guidelines intended to ensure that banking organizations maintain capital that is commensurate with the degree of risk associated with a banking organization’s operations. In 2013, the Federal Reserve Board, FDIC and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued the final Basel III Capital Rules. See Item 1. Business — Supervision and Regulation — Capital Requirements of the Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K for additional details.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. The Company has elected the phase-in option provided by regulatory guidance, which delays the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital for two years and phases the impact over three years beginning in 2022. As a result, the March 31, 2020 ratios exclude the impact of the increased allowance for credit losses. The following table presents the Company’s and the Bank’s capital ratios as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 under the Basel III Capital Rules, require that banking organizations maintain a minimum CET1and those required by regulatory agencies for capital ratio of 4.5%, a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%adequacy and a minimum total capital ratio of 8.0% to be considered adequately capitalized. In addition, the rules require banking organizations to maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% above the capital minimums in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions (including common stock dividends and share repurchases) and certain discretionary incentive compensation payments. The capital conservation buffer has been fully phased-in over four years beginning in 2016. As of January 1, 2019, banking organizations are required to maintain a minimum CET1 capital ratio of 7.0%, a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% and a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5% in a fully phased-in basis.well-capitalized classification purposes:

Other Matters

LIBOR Transition

On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, (“FCA”), which regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), announced that it will no longer persuade or require banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. Given LIBOR’s extensive use across financial markets, the transition away from LIBOR presents various risks and challenges to financial markets and institutions, including to the Company. The Company’s commercial and consumer businesses issue, trade, and hold various products that are currently indexed to LIBOR. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $7.34 billion of loans and $4.39 billion in notional value of derivatives indexed to LIBOR that mature after 2021. In addition, aA portion of the Company’s investmentloans, derivatives, debt securities, resale agreements, FHLB advances, and deposits, and all theas well as junior subordinated debt and repurchase agreements are indexed to LIBOR and mature after 2021. The volume of the Company’s products that are indexed to LIBOR is significant, and if not sufficiently planned for, the discontinuation of LIBOR could result in financial, operational, legal, reputational or compliance risks.

The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative rate for LIBOR. In early 2019, the ARRC released final recommended fallback contract language for new issuances of LIBOR indexed bilateral business loans, syndicated loans, floating ratefloating-rate notes and securitizations. The International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) is expected to providein the process of developing detailed guidance on fallback contract language.

The Company has been closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 and any potential delay in the cessation of LIBOR. Although the Financial Conduct Authority has expressed that it is assessing the potential impacts of COVID-19 on transition timelines, the target date currently remains unchanged.

Due to the uncertainty surrounding the future of LIBOR, the transition is anticipated to span several reporting periods through the end of 2021.2021, unless there is a delay in the cessation of LIBOR due to impacts of COVID-19. Certain actions already taken by the Company related to the transition of LIBOR include (1) establishing a cross-functional team to identify, assess and monitor risks associated with the transition of LIBOR and other benchmark rates, (2) developing an inventory of LIBOR indexed products, and (3) implementing more robust fallback contract language for new loans, which identifies LIBOR cessation trigger events, provides for an alternative index and permits an adjustment to the margin as applicable. As a result, theThe Company continues to monitor this activity and evaluate the related risks. The Company’s cross-functional team also manages communication of the Company’s transition plans with both internal and external stakeholders and ensures that the Company appropriately updates its business processes, analytical tools, information systems and contract language to minimize disruption during and after the LIBOR transition. For additional information related to the potential impact surrounding the transition from LIBOR on the Company’s business, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the course of the Company’s business, the Company may enter into or be a party to transactions that are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are considered to be off-balance sheet arrangements. Off-balance sheet arrangements are any contractual arrangements to which a nonconsolidated entity is a party and under which the Company has: (1) any obligation under a guarantee contract; (2) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets; (3) any obligation under certain derivative instruments; or (4) any obligation under a material variable interest held by the Company in a nonconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with the Company.



Commitments to extend creditExtend Credit

As a financial service provider, the Company routinely enters into commitments to extend credit such as loan commitments, commercial letters of credit for foreign and domestic trade, SBLCsstandby letters of credit (“SBLCs”) and financial guarantees to meet the financing needs of our customers. Many of these commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. The credit policies used in underwriting loans to customers are also used to extend these commitments. Under some of these contractual agreements, the Company may also have liabilities contingent upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company’s liquidity sources have been, and are expected to be, sufficient to meet the cash requirements of its lending activities. Information about the Company’s loan commitments, commercial letters of credit and SBLCs is provided in Note 1210 — Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.



Guarantees

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various guarantee agreements in which the Company sells or securitizes loans with recourse. Under these guarantee arrangements, the Company is contingently obligated to repurchase the recourse component of the loans when the loans default. Additional information regarding guarantees is provided in Note 1210 Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

A discussion of significant contractual arrangements under which the Company may be held contingently liable is included in Note 1210 Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. In addition, the Company has commitments and obligations under post-retirement benefit plans as described in Note 1617 Employee Benefit Plans to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K, and has contractual obligations for future payments on debts, borrowings and lease obligations as detailed in Item 7. MD&A — Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations of the Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K.

Risk Management

Overview

In the course of conducting its businesses, the Company is exposed to a variety of risks, some of which are inherent to the financial services industry and others of which are more specific to the Company’s businesses. The Company operates under a Board approved enterprise risk management (“ERM”) framework, which outlines its company-wide approach to risk management and oversight and describes the structures and practices employed to manage the current and emerging risks inherent to the Company. The Company’s ERM program incorporates risk management throughout the organization in identifying, managing, monitoring, and reporting risks. It identifies the Company’s major risk categories as capital risk, strategic risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk, operational risk, reputational risk, and legal and compliance risk.

The Board of Directors monitors the ERM program to ensure independent review and oversight of the Company’s risk appetite and control environment. The Risk Oversight Committee provides focused oversight of the Company’s identified enterprise risk categories on behalf of the full Board of Directors. Under the direction of the Risk Oversight Committee, management committees apply targeted strategies to reduce the risks to which the Company’s operations are exposed.

The Company’s ERM program is executed along the three lines of defense model, which provides for a consistent and standardized risk management control environment across the enterprise. The first line of defense is comprised of production, operational, and support units. The second line of defense is comprised of various risk management and control functions charged with monitoring and managing specific major risk categories and/or risk subcategories. The third line of defense is comprised of the Internal Audit function and Independent Asset LiabilityReview. Internal Audit provides assurance and Marketevaluates the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes as established by the Company. Internal Audit has organizational independence and objectivity, reporting directly to the Board’s Audit Committee. Further discussion and analyses of each major risk area are included in the following sub-sections of Risk Management.

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk is the risk that a borrower or counterparty will fail to perform according to terms and conditions of a loan or investment and expose the Company to loss. Credit risk exists with many of our assets and exposures such as loans and certain derivatives. The majority of our credit risk is associated with lending activities.

The Risk Oversight Committee has primary oversight responsibility of identifying enterprise risk categories including credit risk. The Risk Oversight Committee monitors management’s assessment of asset quality and credit risk trends, credit quality administration and underwriting standards, portfolio credit risk management and processes to enable management to control credit risk including diversification and liquidity. At the management level, the Credit Risk Management Committee has primary oversight responsibility for credit risk. The Senior Credit Supervision function manages credit policy and provides the resources to manage the line of business transactional credit risk, assuring that all exposure is risk rated according to the requirements of the credit risk rating policy. The Senior Credit Supervision function reports on the overall credit risk portfolio to senior management and the Risk Oversight Committee. The Independent Asset Review function supports a strong credit risk management culture by providing independent and objective assessments of the quality of underwriting and documentation, reporting directly to the Board’s Risk Oversight Committee. A key to our credit risk management is adherence to a well-controlled underwriting process.



A meaningful way to assess overall credit quality performance of our held-for-investment portfolio is through an analysis of specific performance ratios. This approach forms the basis of the discussion in the sections immediately following: Non-performing Assets, Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”), and Allowance for Credit Losses.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”), and other nonperforming assets. OREO and other nonperforming assets are repossessed assets and properties acquired through foreclosure, or through full or partial satisfaction of loans held-for-investment. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due or when the full collection of principal or interest becomes uncertain regardless of the length of past due status. Collectability is generally assessed based on economic and business conditions, the borrower’s financial condition and the adequacy of collateral, if any. For additional details regarding the Company’s nonaccrual loan policy, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Loans Held-for-Investment to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K.

Period-over-period changes to nonaccrual loans represent loans that are placed on nonaccrual status in accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, offset by reductions for loan repayments and for loans that are paid down, charged off, sold, foreclosed, or no longer classified as nonaccrual as a result of continued performance and improvement in the borrowers’ financial condition. Nonaccrual loans were $126.7 million as of March 31, 2020, an increase of $6.4 million or 5% from $120.2 million as of December 31, 2019. This increase is primarily due to new additions from C&I and residential mortgage loans, partially offset by charge-offs and loans returned to accrual status, paid down or paid off. Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of loans held-for-investment were 0.35% as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. C&I nonaccrual loans were 70% and 62% of total nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Credit risk related to the C&I nonaccrual loans were partially mitigated by the collateral in place. As of March 31, 2020, $61.9 million, or 49%, of the $126.7 million nonaccrual loans were less than 90 days delinquent. In comparison, $35.6 million or 30%, of the $120.2 million nonaccrual loans were less than 90 days delinquent as of December 31, 2019.



OREO was $19.5 million as of March 31, 2020, a quarter-over-quarter increase of $19.4 million because the Company took possession of a retail CRE property located in Southern California.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

TDRs are loans, for which contractual terms have been modified by the Company for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, and for which a concession to the borrower was granted that the Company would not otherwise consider. Our loan modifications are handled on a case-by-case basis and are negotiated to achieve mutually agreeable terms that maximize loan collectibility and meet the borrower’s financial needs. The Company has implemented various consumer and commercial loan modification programs to provide its borrowers relief from the economic impacts of COVID-19. In accordance with the CARES Act, the Company has elected to not apply TDR classification to any COVID-19 related loan modifications. On April 7, 2020, the federal banking regulators issued the “Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customer Affected by the Coronovirus (Revised)” (the Interagency Statement). The Interagency Statement provides additional TDR relief as it clarifies that it is not necessary to consider the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition of a borrower in connection with a short-term (e.g., six months) COVID-19 related loan modification provided that the borrower is current at the date the modification program is implemented. For COVID-19 related loan modifications in the form of payment deferrals, the delinquency status will not advance and loans that were accruing at the time that the relief is provided will generally not be placed on nonaccrual status during the deferral period. Interest income will continue to be recognized over the contractual life of the loan.

Performing TDRs were $67.9 million as of March 31, 2020, a decrease of $10.0 million or 13% from $77.9 million as of December 31, 2019. This decrease reflects performing C&I loans no longer classified as TDR, loan pay-offs and loan paydowns, offset by three C&I loans that were newly designated as TDR. Nonperforming TDRs were $34.4 million as of March 31, 2020, a decrease of $20.2 million, or 37% from $54.6 million as of December 31, 2019. This decrease primarily reflects one CRE loan transferred to OREO.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses includes the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded credit commitments.

Allowance for Loan Losses — The allowance for loan losses is a valuation account that is deducted from, or added to, the amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.

Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical loan loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loan loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level as well as for changes in environmental conditions.

Allowance for loan losses is measured on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluation. When management determines that foreclosure is probable or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral, adjusted for selling cost as appropriate.

Allowance for Unfunded Credit Commitments The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for unfunded credit commitments is adjusted through Provision for credit losses. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The allowance for unfunded credit commitments include reserves provided for unfunded lending commitments, SBLCs, and recourse obligations for loans sold.



The allowance for loan losses is reported separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, whereas the allowance for unfunded credit commitments is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Provision for credit losses is reported on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

The Company is committed to maintaining the allowance for credit losses at a level that is commensurate with the estimated inherent losses in the loan portfolio, including unfunded credit facilities. In addition to regular quarterly reviews of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, the Company performs ongoing assessments of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio. While the Company believes that the allowance for credit losses was appropriate as of March 31, 2020, future allowance levels may increase or decrease based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, accounting standard and regulatory changes, loan growth, portfolio performance and general economic conditions. The Company adopted ASU2016-13 on January 1, 2020. For additional information, see Note 2 —Current Accounting Developments and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies —New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted. The calculation of the allowance for credit losses involves subjective and complex judgments. For additional details about the Company’s allowance for credit losses, including the methodologies used, see Note 7 — Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 7. MD&A — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in this Form 10-Q.

As of March 31, 2020, the allowance for loan losses amounted to $557.0 million or 1.55% of loans held-for-investment, compared with $358.3 million or 1.03% and $317.9 million or 0.97% of loans held-for-investment as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The increase in allowance for loan losses was largely due to a combination of factors: the adoption of ASU 2016-13 which increased allowance for loan losses by $125.2 million, a deterioration in the forecasted macroeconomic variables related to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and loan growth that resulted in a $73.9 million increase in provision for credit losses. Gross charge-offs of $13.0 million were primarily from C&I loans, which were almost entirely offset by recoveries, primarily from CRE loans. C&I charge-offs in the first quarter of 2020 of $12.0 million, primarily resulted from our oil and gas loan portfolio.


The allowance for unfunded credit commitments was $20.8 million as of March 31, 2020 and $11.2 million as of December 31, 2019. The allowance for unfunded credit commitments as of March 31, 2020 included a cumulative-effect adjustment due to the adoption of ASU 2016-13. The Company believes that the allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was adequate.

The allowance for loan losses increased $198.7 million or 55% from December 31, 2019, primarily driven by ASU 2016-13 adoption impact of $74.2 million in C&I and $72.2 million in CRE loans, as well as first quarter 2020 provision for C&I credit losses of $60.6 million mainly due to the significant deterioration in the economic outlook from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, allowance for loan losses for PCD loans is determined using the same methodology as other loans held-for-investment. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had no allowance for loan losses against $222.9 million of PCI loans.



Liquidity Risk Management

Liquidity

Liquidity is a financial institution’s capacity to meet its deposit and other counterparties’ obligations as they come due, or to obtain adequate funding at a reasonable cost to meet those obligations. The objective of liquidity management is to manage the potential mismatch of asset and liability cash flows. Maintaining an adequate level of liquidity depends on the institution’s ability to efficiently meet both expected and unexpected cash flows, and collateral needs without adversely affecting daily operations or the financial condition of the institution. To achieve this objective, the Company analyzes its liquidity risk, maintains readily available liquid assets and utilizes diverse funding sources including its stable core deposit base.

The Board of Directors’ Risk Oversight Committee has primary oversight responsibility. At the management level, 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 of Directors.

Liquidity Risk — Liquidity Sources. The Company’s primary source of funding is from deposits generated by its banking business, which is relatively stable and low-cost. Total deposits amounted to $38.69 billion as of March 31, 2020, compared with $37.32 billion as of December 31, 2019. The Company’s loan-to-deposit ratio was 93% as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. In addition, the Company maintainshas access to various sources of wholesale funding, as well as borrowing capacity at the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”) to sustain an adequate liquid asset portfolio, meet daily cash demands and allow management flexibility to execute its liquidity business strategy. Economic conditions and the stability of capital markets impact the Company’s access to and the cost of wholesale financing. The Company’s access to capital markets is also affected by the ratings received from various credit rating agencies. See Item 2— MD&A — Balance Sheet Analysis — Deposits and Other Sources of Funds in this Form 10-Q for further detail related to the form ofCompany’s funding sources.

The Company’s liquid assets include cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing deposits with banks, short-term resale agreements and unpledged investmentAFS debt securities. These assets, which includesThe following table presents the Company’s reserve requirement of $698.5 million, totaled $6.22 billion and accounted for 15% of totalliquid assets as of June 30, 2019.

As a means of augmenting the Company’s liquidity, the Company maintains available borrowing capacity under secured borrowing lines with the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”),FRB, unsecured federal funds lines of credit with various correspondent banks, and several master repurchase agreements with major brokerage companies. The Company’s available borrowing capacity with the FHLB and FRB was $5.98$6.68 billion and $2.83$2.91 billion, respectively, as of June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. 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 lines of credit, with correspondent banks, subject to availability, totaled $625.0$875.0 million with correspondent banks as of June 30, 2019. TheMarch 31, 2020. Estimated borrowing capacity from unpledged AFS debt securities totaled $2.51 billion as of March 31, 2020. In sum, the Company had available borrowing capacity of $13.0 billion as of March 31, 2020, and the Company believes that its liquidity sources are sufficient to meet all reasonably foreseeable short-term needs over the next 12 months.



The Company’s long-term funding source comes predominantly from core deposits. In addition, the Company may use long-term borrowings, repurchase agreements and unsecured debt issuance to sustain an adequate liquid asset portfolio, meet daily cash demands and allow management flexibility to execute business strategy. Economic conditions and the stability of capital markets impact the Company’s access to and the cost of wholesale financing. The Company’s access to capital markets is also affected by the ratings received from various credit rating agencies.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that will or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on its liquidity position. Furthermore, the Company is not aware of any material commitmentsLiquidity Risk — Liquidity for capital expenditures in the foreseeable future.

East West. East West’s primary source of liquidity has historically been dependent on the payment ofis from cash dividends by its subsidiary, East West Bank. The Bank which areis subject to applicable statutes, regulationsvarious statutory and special approvalregulatory restrictions on its ability to pay dividends as discussed in Item 1. Business — Supervision and Regulation — Dividends and Other Transfers of Funds of the Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K. During the first halfquarters of 20192020 and 2018,2019, the Bank paid total dividends of $90.0$211.0 million and $70.0$40.0 million to East West, respectively.

Liquidity Risk — Liquidity Stress Testing.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.

In response to recent developments relating to COVID-19, the Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on its business. The uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and in the financial service industry in general could potentially impact the liquidity of the Company. The strained economic, capital, credit and/or financial market conditions may expose the Company to liquidity risk. As of March 31, 2020, the Company was not aware of any material commitments for capital expenditures in the foreseeable future and believes it has adequate liquidity resources to conduct operations and meet other needs in the ordinary course of business. Given the uncertainty and the rapidly changing market and economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will continue to actively evaluate the nature and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and financial position.

Financing activitiesActivities Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.33$1.12 billion and $1.17 billion$749.4 million for the first halfquarters of 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. During the first halfquarters of 2020, net cash provided by financing activities primarily reflected net increases of $1.37 billion in deposits and $40.0 million in short-term borrowings, partially offset by $146.0 million in shares repurchased, $100.0 million repayment of FHLB advances, and $41.4 million in cash dividends. During the same period in 2019, net cash provided by financing activities primarily reflected a $1.04 billion net increase of $800.1 million in deposits, and a $418.0 million net increase in FHLB advances, partially offset by $34.9 million in cash dividends of $74.9 milliondividends.

Market Risk Management

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 impact the level of noninterest-bearing funding sources at the Company, and affect the difference between the interest the Company earns on interest-earning assets and pays on interest-bearing liabilities. 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 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 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 analyses under multiple interest rate scenarios. The model incorporates the Company’s cash instruments, loans, investmentdebt securities, resale agreements, deposits, borrowings and repurchase agreements, as well as financial instruments from the Company’s foreign operations. The Company incorporates both a static balance sheet and a forward growth balance sheet in order to perform these analyses. The simulated interest rate scenarios include a non-parallel shift in the yield curve (“rate shock”) and a gradual non-parallel shift in the yield curve (“rate ramp”). In addition, the Company also performs simulations using alternative interest rate scenarios, including various permutations of the yield curve flattening, steepening or inverting. 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 net interest income 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. It also incorporates various assumptions, which management believes to be reasonable but may have a significant impact on results. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the timing and magnitude of changes in interest rates, the yield curve evolution and shape, the correlation between various interest rate indices, financial instrument future repricing characteristics and spread relative to benchmark rates, and the effect of interest rate floors and caps. The modeled results are highly sensitive to deposit decay and deposit beta assumptions, derived from a regression analysis of the Company’s historical deposit data. Deposit beta commonly refers to the correlation of the change in interest rates paid on deposits to changes in benchmark market interest rates. The model is also sensitive to the loan and investment prepayment assumptions, based on an independent model and the Company’s historical prepayment data, which consider anticipated prepayments under different interest rate environments.

Simulation results are highly dependent on input 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 assumptions applied in the model are documented and supported for reasonableness, and periodically back-tested to assess their effectiveness. The Company makes appropriate calibrations to the model as needed, continually refining the model, methodology and results. Changes to key model assumptions are reviewed by the ALCO. Scenario results do not reflect strategies that management could employ to limit the impact of changing interest rate expectations.



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 interest rate sensitive asset and liability cash flows, expressed in terms of Net Interest Income,net interest income, over a specified time horizon for defined interest rates scenarios. Net Interest Incomeinterest income simulations generate insight into the impact of changes in market rates changes 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 sensitivity as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019 related to an instantaneous and sustained non-parallel shift in market interest rates of 100 and 200 basis points in both directions:

-200 (15.9)% (16.7)% (0.7)% (8.7)%
(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 June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 was lower when compared towith the sensitivity as of December 31, 2018,2019, for both the upward 100 and upward 200 basis point rate scenarios. This reflects a greater rate of upward repricing in the Company’s deposit portfolio, offsettingwhich offsets simulated increases in interest income from higher interest rates.rates on assets. The reduction in simulated increases in interest income is also impacted by the increase in the population of floating rate loans that are currently at their floors, which has increased under the current low interest rate environment. In both of the simulated downward interest rate scenarios, sensitivity is primarily decreased mainly due to the impactas a result of the changes150 basis point reduction in the yield curve between June 30, 2019federal funds target rate range to 0.00% and December 31, 2018.0.25% during March 2020.

The Company’s net interest income profile as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 reflects an asset sensitive position. Net interest income would be expected to increase if interest rates rise and to decrease if interest rates decline.decline, albeit the federal funds rate is floored at the target range between 0.00% and 0.25%. The Company is naturally asset sensitive due to the large share of variable rate loans in its loan portfolio, which are primarily linked to Prime and LIBOR indices. The Company’s interest income is vulnerable to changes in short-term interest rates. The Company’s deposit portfolio is primarily comprised of non-maturity deposits, which are not directly tied to short-term interest rate indices, but are, nevertheless, sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates.



The federal funds target rate was between 2.25%0.00% and 2.50%0.25% as of both June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and between 1.50% and 1.75% as of December 31, 2018.2019. In its statement released on June 19, 2019,March 3, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) decided to maintainlower the target range for the federal funds rate at 2.25% to 2.50%,a range of between 1.00% to 1.25% and, in lighton March 15, 2020, further announced its decision to lower the target range to 0.00% and 0.25%. The Fed deemed that the effects of increased uncertainties in globalthe COVID-19 pandemic will weigh on economic and financial developments and muted inflation pressures, the FOMC will act as appropriate to sustain expansion. The market perceived the statement as laying the foundation for interest rate cutsactivity in the near-term.near term and pose risks to the economic outlook.

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)
 
Net Interest Income Volatility (1)
June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
+200 Rate Ramp 8.1% 6.3% 5.0% 6.0%
+100 Rate Ramp 4.0% 3.0% 2.2% 3.0%
-100 Rate Ramp (4.2)% (3.0)% (0.3)% (2.6)%
-200 Rate Ramp (9.2)% (6.3)% (0.4)% (5.1)%
(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, 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. Between June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company’s modeled sensitivity increasedslightly decreased under a ramp simulation. This reflects model refinements to better incorporate the current, inverted yield curve in the analysis, as well as the gradual spreading of interest rate changes over 12 months, rather than at the end of each quarters.

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 June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20182019 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 portfolio value of the Company in a stable interest rate environment versus net portfolio value in the various rate scenarios.

The Company’s EVE sensitivity for both of the upward and downward interest rate scenarios increased as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020. The sensitivity for the downward 100 basis points scenario decreased while the sensitivity for the downward 200 basis points scenario increased or remained flat fromas of March 31, 2020, as compared with the results as of December 31, 2018.2019. The increaseschanges in EVE sensitivity during this period were primarily due to changesthe reduced base EVE and the change in thelevel and shape of the yield curve being inverted.curve.



The Company’s EVE profile as of June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 reflects an asset sensitive EVE position. The Company is naturally asset sensitive due to the large share of variable rate loans in its loan portfolio, which are primarily linked to Prime and LIBOR indices. The Company’s interest income is vulnerable to changes in short-term interest rates. The Company’s deposit portfolio is primarily funded by non-maturity deposits, which are not directly tied to short-term interest rate indices, but are, nevertheless, sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates. 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, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. However, the Company will, from time to time, enter into derivative transactions in order to reduce its exposure to market risks, primarily 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 and liabilities and against risk in specific transactions. Hedging transactions may be implemented using a variety of derivative instruments such as swaps, caps, floors, 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/or 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.

Fair Value Hedges — As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company had two cancellable interest rate swap contracts with original terms of 20 years. These swap contracts involve the exchange of variable rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. The changes in fair value of the hedged brokered certificates of deposit are expected to be effectively offset by the changes in fair value of the swaps throughout the terms of these contracts.

Net Investment Hedges — 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. The Company entered into foreign currency forward 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 East West Bank (China) Limited, against the risk of adverse changes in the foreign currency exchange rate of the Chinese Renminbi.Renminbi (“RMB”). As of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the outstanding foreign currency forwards effectively hedged approximately 90%92% of the Chinese RenminbiRMB exposure in East West Bank (China) Limited. The fluctuation in foreign currency translation of the hedged exposure is expected to be offset by changes in the fair value of the forwards.

Interest 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 clearing organizations. Certain derivative contracts entered with central clearing organizations are settled-to-market daily to the extent the central clearing organizations’ 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 marketmarked-to-market at each reporting period. The changes in fair values of the 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 the counterparties, 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 entered into with its customers, the Company enteredmanaged its foreign exchange exposure by entering into offsetting foreign exchange contracts with third-party financial institutions and/or entering into bilateral collateral and master netting agreements with customer counterparties to manage its credit 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 that are not designated as hedging instruments to mitigate the economic effect of fluctuations in certain foreign currency on-balance sheet assets and liabilities, primarily foreign currency denominated deposits offered to its customers. The Company’s policies permit taking proprietary currency positions within approved limits, in compliance with the proprietary trading exemption provided under Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (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.

Credit Contracts — The Company may periodically enter into RPAs to manage the credit exposure on interest rate contracts associated with its syndicated loans. The Company may enter into protection sold or protection purchased RPAs with institutional counterparties. Under the RPA, the Company will receive or make a payment if a borrower defaults on the related interest rate contract. The Company manages its credit risk on the RPAs by monitoring the credit worthiness of the borrowers, which is based on the Company’s normal credit review process.

Equity Contracts TheAs part of the loan origination process, from time to time, the Company obtained warrants to purchase preferred andand/or common stock of technology and life sciences companies as part of the loan origination process.it provides loans to. The warrants included on the Consolidated Financial Statements were from public and private companies.

Commodity Contracts — The Company entered into energy commodity contracts with its customers to allow them to hedge against the risk of fluctuation in energy commodity prices. To economically hedge against the risk of fluctuation in commodity prices in the products offered to its customers, the Company enters into offsetting commodity contracts with third-party financial institutions including with central clearing organizations. Certain derivative contracts entered with central clearing organizations are settled to market daily to the extent the central clearing organizations’ rulebooks legally characterize the variation margin as settlement. The changes in fair values of the energy commodity contracts traded with third-party financial institutions are expected to be largely comparable to the changes in fair values of the energy commodity transactions executed with customers throughout the terms of these contracts.

Additional information on the Company’s derivatives is presented in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K, Note 43 Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Note 76 — Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.Form 10-Q.

Impact of Inflation

The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented in this report have been prepared according to GAAP, which require the measurement of financial and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs and the effect that general inflation may have on both short-term and long-term interest rates. Since almost all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than do general levels of inflation. Although inflation expectations do affect interest rates, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s significant accounting policies and use of estimates (see(for significant accounting policies and use of estimates of allowance for credit losses, see Note 2 — Current Accounting Developments and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in this Form 10-Q and for all other significant accounting policies and use of estimates, see Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Item 7. MD&A Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates of the Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K) are fundamental to understanding its results of operations and financial condition. Some accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation methods,techniques, valuation assumptions and mayother subjective assessments. In addition, some significant accounting policies require significant judgment in applying complex accounting principles to individual transactions.transactions to determine the most appropriate treatment. The Company has procedures and processes in place to facilitate making these judgments.


Certain accounting policies are considered to have a critical effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s judgment. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that require the most complex or subjective judgments and are reflective of significant uncertainties, and whose actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates. Future changes in the key variables could change future valuations and impact the results of operations. In each area, the Company has identified the most important variables in the estimation process. The Company has used the best information available to make the estimations necessary for the related assets and liabilities. The following accounting policies are critical to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as they require management to make subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain where actual results could differ materially from the Company’s estimates:

fair value of financial instruments;
allowance for credit losses;
goodwill impairment; and
income taxes.

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. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a $7.0 million pre-tax impairment charge related to DC Solar. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company reversed $30.1 million of certain previously claimed tax credits related to DC Solar. 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 impact of the impairment charge related to DC Solar, the reversal of certain previously claimed tax credits related to DC Solar and the after-tax impact of the gain on the sale of the Bank’s DCB branches from net income, diluted EPS, ROA, ROE and effective tax rate, will provide clarity to financial statement users regarding the ongoing performance of the Company and allows comparability to prior periods.

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. Non-GAAP tangible common equity represents stockholders’ equity, which has been reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

See Item 1. Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1210 Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation in Part I of this report, incorporated herein by reference.


ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

The Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K contains disclosure regarding the risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s business under the heading Item 1A. Risk Factors. There has been no material changechanges to the Company’s risk factors as presented in the Company’s 20182019 Form 10-K.10-K, other than the risk factors set forth below:

The effects of the COVID-19 disease pandemic will impact the Company’s businesses, results of operations and financial condition, and the extent and duration of these impacts remain uncertain. In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported in China, which rapidly spread to other countries, including the U.S. In March 2020, the WHO characterized COVID-19 as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. On January 31, 2020, the U.S. declared a national public health emergency, and the President announced a National Emergency on March 13, 2020. Many states and municipalities have declared emergencies as well. Along with these declarations, there have been extraordinary and wide-ranging actions undertaken by international, federal, state and local public health and governmental authorities to contain the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 across the world and in the U.S., including quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders and similar mandates for individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations. A significant outbreak of epidemic, pandemic, or contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the broader economies, financial markets and overall demand environment for the Company’s businesses.

East West Bank is considered an essential business in the seven states where we have branches. As part of the CARES Act passed by Congress in March 2020, various initiatives to protect individuals, businesses and local economies, such as the SBA PPP were established. The Company participates in the SBA PPP, and intends to participate in additional new government-sponsored programs, as they are enacted. In addition, to provide relief to customers during these turbulent times, we are providing payment accommodations for certain small-to medium-sized business, nonprofit organization and consumer customers impacted by COVID-19, and pausing action on collections and foreclosures on certain residential mortgage loans. These initiatives and accommodations made to our customers are expected to negatively impact our revenue and results of operations in the near term and, if not effective in mitigating the effect of COVID-19 on our customers, may adversely affect our business and results of operations more substantially over a longer period of time.

Further, in order to facilitate our business and in response to enhanced safety measures, the Company has consolidated certain branch locations in the U.S., resulting in temporary closure of certain branches, adjusted branch hours and implemented certain employee travel restrictions. In addition, we have implemented business continuity plans, which include shifting a majority of our corporate and division office functions to work remotely, alternating workplace arrangements such as split work sites and rotating shifts for certain employees to suit the changing business requirements. To date, the business continuity plans work as designed and support our ongoing normal course of business. However, our ability to provide services has been, and may continue to be, to some extent, negatively impacted by interruptions due to illnesses of our employees, or the safety measures implemented to prevent illnesses of our employees, including the potential closure of particular branches and certain employees working remotely.

We may face increased cybersecurity risks due to the shifting of a majority of our corporate and division office functions to operating remotely in regions impacted by stay-at-home orders. Increased levels of remote access may create additional opportunities for cybercriminals to attempt to exploit vulnerabilities, and our employees may be more susceptible to phishing and social engineering attempts due to increased stress caused by the crisis and from balancing family and work responsibilities at home. In addition, our technological resources may be strained due to the number of remote users.

The conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to adversely affect the ability of the Company’s borrowers to satisfy their obligations, and because many of the Company’s loans are secured by real estate, a potential decline in real estate markets could further impact the Company’s business and financial condition and the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, hence potentially increasing our level of charge-offs and provision for credit losses. Further, the disruptions related to COVID-19 may decrease our borrowers’ confidence or with respect to purchasing real estate or homes and adversely affect the demand for the Company’s loans and other products and services, the valuation of our loans, securities and derivatives portfolios, the carrying value of our deferred tax assets, our capital levels and liquidity, and our results of operations.


In addition, recent developments and reports relating to COVID-19 have coincided with heightened volatility in financial markets in the U.S. and worldwide. Our businesses and results of operations are affected by the financial markets and general economic conditions primarily in the U.S. and Greater China. The Company executes transactions with various counterparties in the financial industry, including brokers and dealers, commercial banks and investment banks. Defaults by financial services institutions and uncertainty in the financial services industry in general could lead to market-wide liquidity problems and may expose the Company to credit risk in the event of default of its counterparties or clients. This pandemic, and any further measures undertaken by governmental authorities to address it, could significantly disrupt or prevent us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an extended period, and thereby, and/or along with any associated economic and/or social instability or distress, have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, the earnings impacts from recent and future emergency interest rate cuts could further compress interest margins, which could potentially have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and any resultant economic downturn impacts our business, operations, and financial results is uncertain and will depend on numerous evolving factors that are outside our control and we may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and scope of the pandemic and the governmental, business and individual actions taken in response to the pandemic and the impact of those actions on global economic activity.

PriceDeclines in Oil & Gas Sector May Adversely Affect Our Business. The fluctuations in the oil and gas markets have generally been dependent upon the prevailing view of future gas and oil prices, which are influenced by numerous supply and demand factors, including availability and cost of capital, global and domestic economic conditions, environmental regulations, policies of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russia, geopolitics, U.S. consumer demand and consumption, transportation industry activity, and other factors. The COVID-19 pandemic, along with recent actions by Saudi Arabia and Russia, have led to a significant decline in oil and gas prices. In consideration of any further price declines in this sector, we have increased our allowance for loan loss against the oil & gas loan portfolio. However, continuous volatility and downward pressure on oil and gas prices in the global market could lead to increased credit losses, which could adversely affect our financial results. For a description of our oil and gas loan exposure, refer to Part 1. Item 2. MD&A Balance Sheet Analysis Loan Portfolio Commercial Commercial and Industrial Loans in this Form 10-Q.
