Forward-Looking Statements

Certain matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) contain forward-looking statements that are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for such statements provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In addition, East West Bancorp, Inc. (referred to herein on an unconsolidated basis as “East West” and on a consolidated basis as the “Company,” “we” or “EWBC”) may make forward-looking statements in other documents that it files with, or furnishes to, the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and management may make forward-looking statements to analysts, investors, media members and others. Forward-looking statements are those that do not relate to historical facts, and that are based on current assumptions, beliefs, estimates, expectations and projections, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond the Company’s control. Forward-looking statements may relate to various matters, including the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance, business or industry, and usually can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, such as “anticipates,” “assumes,” “believes,” “can,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “goal,” “intends,” “likely,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “plans,” “potential,” “projects,” “remains,” “should,” “target,” “trend,” “will,” “would,” or similar expressions or variations thereof, and the negative thereof, but these terms are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, as they are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described below. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind these risks and uncertainties, as well as any cautionary statements the Company may make.

There are various important factors that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and any forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences, include, but are not limited to:

changes in the global economy, including an economic slowdown, capital or financial market disruption, supply chain disruption, level of inflation, interest rate environment, housing prices, employment levels, rate of growth and general business conditions, which could result in, among other things, reduced demand for loans, reduced availability of funding or increased funding costs, declines in asset values and/or recognition of allowance for credit losses;
changes in local, regional and global business, economic and political conditions and geopolitical events, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine;
the soundness of other financial institutions and the impacts related to or resulting from recent bank failures and other economic and industry volatility, including potential increased regulatory requirements, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance premiums, losses in the value of our investment portfolio, deposit withdrawals, or other adverse consequences of negative market perceptions of the banking industry or the Company;
changes in laws or the regulatory environment, including regulatory reform initiatives and policies of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”), the FDIC, the SEC, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation Division of Financial Institutions, the National Administration of Financial Regulation, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore;
changes and effects thereof in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the ongoing trade, economic and political disputes between the U.S. and the People’s Republic of China and the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve;
changes in the commercial and consumer real estate markets;
changes in consumer or commercial spending, savings and borrowing habits, and patterns and behaviors;
the impact from potential changes to income tax laws and regulations, federal spending and economic stimulus programs;
the impact of any future U.S. federal government shutdown and uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal government’s debt limit and credit rating;
the Company’s ability to compete effectively against financial institutions and other entities, including as a result of emerging technologies;
the success and timing of the Company’s business strategies;
the Company’s ability to retain key officers and employees;
the impact on the Company’s funding costs, net interest income and net interest margin from changes in key variable market interest rates, competition, regulatory requirements and the Company’s product mix;
changes in the Company’s costs of operation, compliance and expansion;
the Company’s ability to adopt and successfully integrate new technologies into its business in a strategic manner;

3


the impact of communications or technology disruption, failure in, or breach of, the Company’s operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of third party vendors with which the Company does business, including as a result of cyber-attacks; and other similar matters which could result in, among other things, confidential and/or proprietary information being disclosed or misused, and materially impact the Company’s ability to provide services to its clients;
the adequacy of the Company’s risk management framework, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting;
future credit quality and performance, including the Company’s expectations regarding future credit losses and allowance levels;
the impact of adverse changes to the Company’s credit ratings from major credit rating agencies;
the impact of adverse judgments or settlements in litigation;
the impact of political developments, pandemics, wars, civil unrest, terrorism or other hostilities that may disrupt or increase volatility in securities or otherwise affect business and economic conditions on the Company and its customers;
heightened regulatory and governmental oversight and scrutiny of the Company’s business practices, including dealings with consumers;
the impact of reputational risk from negative publicity, fines, penalties and other negative consequences from regulatory violations, legal actions and the Company’s interactions with business partners, counterparties, service providers and other third parties;
the impact of regulatory investigations and enforcement actions;
changes in accounting standards as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other regulatory agencies and their impact on the Company’s critical accounting policies and assumptions;
the Company’s capital requirements and its ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms;
the impact on the Company’s liquidity due to changes in the Company’s ability to receive dividends from its subsidiaries;
any strategic acquisitions or divestitures;
changes in the equity and debt securities markets;
fluctuations in the Company’s stock price;
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
the impact of increased focus on social, environmental and sustainability matters, which may affect the operations of the Company and its customers and the economy more broadly; and
the impact of climate change, natural or man-made disasters or calamities, such as wildfires, droughts, hurricanes, flooding and earthquakes or other events that may directly or indirectly result in a negative impact on the financial performance of the Company and its customers.

For a more detailed discussion of some of the factors that might cause such differences, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023 (the “Company’s 2022 Form 10-K”) under the heading Item 1A. Risk Factors, and Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q. You should treat forward-looking statements as speaking only as of the date they are made and based only on information then actually known to the Company. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims, any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of events or circumstances after the date of such statements except as required by law.

EAST WEST BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“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 SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, East West also has six wholly-owned subsidiaries that are statutory business trusts (the “Trusts”). In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards BoardFASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation, the Trusts are not included on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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. While the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation, they primarily serve to update the most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K, and may not include all the information and notes necessary to constitute a complete set of financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on2022 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2022 (the “Company’s 2021 Form 10-K”). In addition, certain items on the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.10-K.

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, income and expenses during the reporting periods, and the related disclosures. Although our current estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual results could be materially different from those estimates. Hence, the current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the year as a whole. Events subsequent to the Consolidated Balance Sheet date have been evaluated through the date the Consolidated Financial Statements are issued for inclusion in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Risk and Uncertainties

The failures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank earlier in the year have resulted in significant disruption in the financial services industry, which has adversely impacted the volatility and market prices of the securities of financial institutions. In addition, these bank failures have caused concern and uncertainty regarding the liquidity of the banking sector as a whole and resulted in some regional bank customers choosing to maintain deposits with larger financial institutions. Further, competition for deposits has increased in recent periods, and the cost of funding has similarly increased, putting pressure on our net interest margin. These events have adversely impacted, and could continue to adversely affect, our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as the market price and volatility of our common stock.

Significant Accounting Policies Update

DuringLoan Modifications — Certain loans are modified in the first quarternormal course of 2022,business for competitive reasons or in conjunction with the Company’s loss mitigation activities. Upon the adoption of ASU 2022-02, the Company transferred $3.01 billionapplies the general loan modification guidance provided in fair value of debt securities from AFSASC 310-20 to HTM.

Transfer between Categories of Debt SecuritiesUpon transfer ofall loan modifications, including modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Under the general loan modification guidance, a debt security frommodification is treated as a new loan only if the AFS to HTM category,following two conditions are met: (1) the security’s new amortized cost is reset to fair value, reduced by any previous write-offs but excluding any allowance for credit losses. Unrealized gains or losses at the date of transfer of these securities continue to be reported in AOCI and are amortized into interest income over the remaining lifeterms of the securitiesnew loan are at least as effective yield adjustments, in a manner consistentfavorable to the Company as the terms for comparable loans to other customers with similar collection risks; and (2) modifications to the amortization or accretionterms of the original purchase premiumloan are more than minor. If either condition is not met, the modification is accounted for as a continuation of the existing loan with any effect of the modification treated as a prospective adjustment to the loan’s effective interest rate. A modification made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may vary by program and by borrower-specific characteristics, and may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, term extensions, and payment delays, and is intended to minimize the Company’s economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or discount onrepossession of collateral. The Company applies the associated security.same credit loss methodology it uses for similar loans that were not modified. For transfers of securities from the AFSCompany’s accounting policy related to HTM category, anythe loan modifications’ allowance for creditloan losses, that was previously recorded under the AFS model is reversedsee Note 7 — Loans Receivable and an allowance for credit losses is subsequently recorded under the HTM debt security model. The reversal and re-establishment of the allowance for credit losses are recorded in the provision for credit losses.

10


Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities Debt securities that the Company has the intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as HTM and are carried at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses. The criteria used to place HTM debt securities on nonaccrual are largely similar to those described for loans. The amortized cost of the Company’s HTM 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 recognize an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables on HTM debt securities, as the Company reverses any accrued interest against interest income if a debt security is placed on nonaccrual status. Any cash collected on nonaccrual HTM securities is applied to reduce the security’s amortized cost basis and not as interest income. Generally, the Company returns an HTM security to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current under the contractual terms of the security, and the collectability of remaining principal and interest is no longer doubtful.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities— Allowance for Credit Losses For each major HTM debt security type,to the allowance for credit losses is estimated collectively for groups of securities with similar risk characteristics. For securities that do not share similar risk characteristics, the losses are estimated individually. The Company applies a zero credit loss assumption to certain HTM debt securities, including debt securities that are either guaranteed or issued by the U.S. government or government-sponsored enterprises, are highly rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”), and have a long history of no credit losses. Any expected credit loss is recorded through the allowance for credit losses on HTM debt securities and deducted from the amortized cost basis of the security, reflecting the net amount the Company expects to collect.Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Note 3 — 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,Under applicable accounting standards, 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 ormeasures a liability. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the useportion of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy described 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 prices derived from data lacking transparency. The fair value of the Company’sits 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 theat fair value of assets or liabilities.value. 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 entiretypredominantly recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. From time to time, certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, they are subject to fair value adjustments only as required through the application of an accounting method such as lower of cost or fair value or write-down of individual assets. The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities into three levels based on the lowest level of input that is significant to theirestablished fair value measurements.hierarchy and conducts a review of fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. For more information regarding the fair value hierarchy and how the Company measures fair value, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Fair Value to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K for additional information.

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 towithin the fair value hierarchy.

11


Available-for-Sale Debt Securities — The fair value of AFS 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 expectations 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 issuenewly issued data, monthly payment information, whole loan collateral performance, tranche evaluation and “To Be Announced” prices. In valuing securities issued by state and political subdivisions, inputs used by third-party pricing service providers also include material event notices.

On a monthly basis, the Company validates the valuations provided by third-party pricing service providers to ensure that the fair value determination is consistent with the applicable accounting guidance and the financial 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 significant 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 valuation inputs and methodology for each security category furnished by third-party pricing service providers.

13


When available,a quoted price in an active market exists for the Company uses quoted market pricesidentical security, this price is used to determine the fair value ofand the AFS debt securities that aresecurity is classified as Level 1. Level 1 AFS debt securities consist of U.S. Treasury securities. When pricing is unavailable from third-party pricing service providers for certain securities, the Company requests market quotes from various independent external brokers and utilizes the average quoted market prices. In addition, the Company obtains market quotes from other official published sources. As these valuations are based on observable inputs in the current marketplace, they 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 techniques are reviewed periodically.

Equity Securities — Equity securities consisted of mutual funds as of both SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021.2022. The Company invested in these mutual funds for Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) purposes. The Company uses net 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 intoInterest rate contracts consist of interest rate swapswaps and option contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments with its borrowers to lock in attractive intermediate and long-term interest rates, resulting in the customer obtaining a synthetic fixed-rate loan. To economically hedge against the interest rate risks in the products offered to its customers, the Company enters into mirrored offsetting interest rate contracts with third-party financial institutions. The Company also enters into interest rate swap or interest rate collar contracts with institutional counterparties to hedge against certain variable interest rate borrowings and variable interest rate loans. These interest rate contracts with institutional counterparties are designated as cash flow hedges.options. 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 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. Considering the observable nature of all other significant inputs utilized, the Company classifies these derivative instruments as Level 2.

12


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 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 of foreign exchange contracts 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 is classified as Level 2. As of Septemberboth June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Bank held foreign currency non-deliverable forward contracts 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 contracts were designated as net investment hedges. The fair value of foreign currency non-deliverable forward contracts is determined 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 — TheCredit contracts utilized by the Company may periodically enter intoare comprised of credit risk participation agreements (“RPAs”) to manageentered into by 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 the 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. SinceDue to the majorityobservable nature of theall other significant inputs used toin deriving the estimated fair value, the RPAs are observable, RPAscredit contracts are classified as Level 2.

14


Equity Contracts — As partEquity contracts consisted of the loan origination process, the Company may obtain warrants to purchase preferred and/common or commonpreferred stock of the borrowers, which are mainly in the technologypublic and life sciences sectors. Asprivate companies as of Septemberboth June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021, the warrants included on the Consolidated Financial Statements were from both public and private companies.2022. The Company values these warrants based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For 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 optionequity 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. Since both option volatility and liquidity discount assumptions are subject to management’s judgment, measurement uncertainty is inherent in the valuation of private company warrants. 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. On a quarterly basis, the changes in the fair value of warrants from private companies are reviewed for reasonableness, and a measurement of uncertainty analysis on the option volatility and liquidity discount assumptions is performed.

Commodity Contracts — The Company enters into energy commodityCommodity contracts consistingconsist of swaps and options with its oil and gas loan customers, which allow them to hedge against the risk of fluctuation in energyreferencing commodity prices.products. The fair value of the commodity option contracts is determined using the Black-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 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. 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. As a result, the Company classifies these derivative instruments as Level 2 due to the observable nature of the significant inputs utilized.

The realized/unrealized gains (losses) of equity contracts are recorded in Lending fees on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
(2)During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company transferred $6 thousand of equity contracts measured on a recurring basis out of Level 3 into Level 2 after the corresponding issuer of the equity contracts, which was previously a private company completed its initial public offering and became a public company.

The following table presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of Level 3 fair value measurements as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021.2022. The significant unobservable inputs presented in the table below are those that the Company considers significant to the fair value of the Level 3 assets. The Company considers unobservable inputs to be significant if, by their exclusion, the fair value of the Level 3 assets would be impacted by a predetermined percentage change.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain individually evaluated loans held-for-investment, investments in qualified affordable housing partnerships, tax credit and other investments, OREO,other real estate owned (“OREO”), loans held-for-sale, and other nonperforming assets. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments result from the impairment on certain individually evaluated loans held-for-investment and investments in qualified affordable housing partnerships, tax credit and other investments, from write-downs of OREO and other nonperforming assets, or from the application of lower of cost or fair value on loans held-for-sale.

Individually Evaluated Loans Held-for-Investment — Individually evaluated loans held-for-investment are classified as Level 3 assets. The following two methods are used to derive the fair value of individually evaluated loans held-for-investment:

Discounted cash flow valuation techniques that consist of developing an expected stream of cash flows over the life of the loans, and then calculating the present value of the loans by discounting the expected cash flows at a designated discount rate.
16


When the repayment of an individually evaluated loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral, the fair value of the loan is determined 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 valuation if a third-party appraisal is not required by regulations, or is unavailable. An internal valuation utilizes one or more valuation techniques such as the income, market and/or cost approaches.

Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Partnerships, Tax Credit and Other Investments, Net — The Company conducts due diligence on its investments in qualified affordable housing partnerships, tax credit and other investments prior to the initial investment date and through the placed-in-service date. After these investments are either acquired or placed into service, the Company continues its periodic monitoring process to ensure book values are realizable and that there is no significant tax credit recapture risk. This monitoring process includes reviewing the investment entity’s quarterly review of the financial statements theand annual review of tax returns, of the investment entity, the annual review of the financial statements of the guarantor (if any) and a comparison of the actual performance of the investment against the financial projections prepared at the time when the investment was made. The Company assesses its tax credit and other investments for possible other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on an annual basis or when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the investments may not be realizable. These circumstances can include, but are not limited to the following factors:

expected future cash flows that are less than the carrying amount of the investment;
changes in the economic, market or technological environment that could adversely affect the investee’s operations;
the potential for tax credit recapture; 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 information 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, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures, 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 andor 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.

Loans Held-for-Sale Loans held-for-investment subsequently transferred to held-for-sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value upon transfer. Loans held-for-sale may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when fair value is less than cost. Fair value is generally determined based on available market data for similar loans and therefore, are classified as Level 2.

Other Nonperforming Assets Other nonperforming assets are recorded at fair value upon transfer 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 estimated recovery of the foreclosed asset. The Company records an impairment when the foreclosed asset’s fair value declines below its carrying value. The fair value measurement of other nonperforming assets is classified within one of the three levels in a valuation hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date.

It is also the Company’s policy to take possession, where possible, of the assets underlying resale agreements.

Balance Sheet Offsetting

The Company’s resale and repurchase agreements are transacted under legally enforceable master repurchase agreements that, in the event of default by the counterparty, provide the Company 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 and loans 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. Securities received or pledged as collateral in resale and repurchase agreements with other financial institutions may also be sold or re-pledged by the secured party, and are usually delivered to and held by the third-party trustees.

The following tables present the resale and repurchase agreements included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021:2022:

Each reporting period, theThe Company assessesevaluates each AFS debt security that is in an unrealized loss position to determine whetherwhere the decline in fair value declines below the amortized cost basis resulted from a credit loss or other factors.cost. For a discussion of the factors and criteria the Company uses in analyzing securities for impairment related to credit losses, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Debt Securities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 20212022 Form 10-K.

The gross unrealized losses presented in the preceding tables were primarily attributable to interest rate movement and the widening of liquidity and/or credit spreads. U.S. Treasury, U.S. government agency, U.S. government-sponsored agency, and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise debt and mortgage-backed securities are issued, guaranteed, or otherwise supported by the U.S. government and have a zero credit loss assumption. The otherremaining securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 were mainly comprised of the following:

Non-agency mortgage-backed securities The market value decline as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, was primarily due to interest rate movement and spread widening. Since these securities are rated investment grade by NRSROs,nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”), or have high priority in the cash flow waterfall within the securitization structure, and the contractual payments have historically been on time, the Company believes the risk of credit losses on these securities is low.
Corporate debt securities — The market value decline as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 was primarily due to interest rate movement and spread widening. SinceA portion of the corporate debt securities is comprised of subordinated debt securities issued by U.S. banks. Despite the reduction of the market value of these securities after the banking sector disruption in the first half of 2023, these securities are nearly all rated investment grade by NRSROs or if not, the issuer is aissued by well-capitalized financial institutioninstitutions with strong profitability, and theprofitability. The contractual payments from these bondscorporate debt securities have been and are expected to be received on time,time. The Company will continue to monitor the Company believes thatmarket developments in the riskbanking sector and the credit performance of credit losses on these securities is low.securities.

As of Septemberboth June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Company had the intentintended to hold the AFS debt securities with unrealized losses through the anticipated recovery period and it was more-likely-than-not that the Company willwould not have to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost. The issuers of these securities have not, to the Company’s knowledge, established any cause for default on these securities. As a result, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. Accordingly, there was no allowance for credit losses provided against these securities as of Septemberboth June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021 provided against these securities.2022. In addition, there was no provision for credit losses recognized for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021. If a credit loss had been identified, the Company would record an impairment through the allowance for credit losses with a corresponding Provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statement of Income.2022.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities

The Company separately evaluates its HTM debt securities for any credit losses using an expected loss model, similar to the methodology used for loans. Any expectedFor additional information on the Company’s credit loss is recorded through the allowancemethodology, refer to Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Allowance for credit losses and is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The net amount the Company expectsCredit Losses on Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities to collect is reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.Financial Statements in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

The Company monitors the credit quality of the HTM debt securities using external credit ratings. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, all HTM securities were rated investment grade by NRSROs and issued, guaranteed, or supported by U.S. government entities and agencies. Accordingly, the Company applied a zero credit loss assumption and no allowance for credit losses was recorded as of SeptemberJune 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Overall, the Company believes that the credit support levels of the debt securities are strong, and based on current assessments and macroeconomic forecasts, expects that full contractual cash flows will be received.For more information on the Company’s credit loss methodology, refer to Note 2 — Current Accounting Developments and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

In anticipation of LIBOR’s cessation date on June 30, 2023, certain LIBOR-indexed interest-rate swap contracts with LCH were subject to a conversion process, where the original LIBOR swap contract was exchanged for a SOFR forward-starting swap contract, along with one or more overlap swap contracts replicating the final LIBOR cash flows of the original LIBOR swap contract. The swap contracts exchanged were substantially economically equivalent. The SOFR replacement and overlap LIBOR swaps are considered separate contracts, and the overlay LIBOR swaps will result in a gross-up of the notional amounts presented, until these swaps mature upon settlement of the final LIBOR payment. The interest rate contracts included as cash flow and economic hedges reflect notional gross-ups of $1.00 billion and $161.9 million. These overlay LIBOR swaps are expected to mature in the third quarter of 2023.

Credit Quality Indicators

All loans are subject to the Company’s credit review and monitoring process. For the commercial loan portfolio, loans are risk rated based on an analysis of the borrower’s current payment performance or delinquency, repayment sources, financial and liquidity factors, including industry and geographic considerations. For the consumer loan portfolio, payment performance or delinquency is typically the driving indicator for risk ratings.

The Company utilizes internal credit risk ratings to assign each individual loan a risk rating of 1 through 10:
Pass — loans risk rated 1 through 5 are assigned an internal risk rating category of “Pass.” Loans risk rated 1 are typically loans fully secured by cash. Pass loans have sufficient sources of repayment to repay the loan in full, in accordance with all terms and conditions.
Special mention — loans assigned a risk rating of 6 have potential weaknesses that warrant closer attention by management; these are assigned an internal risk rating category of “Special Mention.”
Substandard — loans assigned a risk rating of 7 or 8 have well-defined weaknesses that may jeopardize the full and timely repayment of the loan; these are assigned an internal risk rating category of “Substandard.”
38


Doubtful — loans assigned a risk rating of 9 have insufficient sources of repayment and a high probability of loss; these are assigned an internal risk rating category of “Doubtful.”
36


Loss — loans assigned a risk rating of 10 are uncollectible and of such little value that they are no longer considered bankable assets; these are assigned an internal risk rating category of “Loss.”

Loan exposures categorized as criticized consist of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss categories. The Company reviews the internal risk ratings of its loan portfolio on a regular basis, and adjusts the ratings based on changes in the borrowers’ financial status and the collectability of the loans.

Troubled Debt RestructuringsLoan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

TDRs are individually evaluated, and the type of restructuring is selected based on the loan type and the circumstances of the borrower’s financial difficulties. A TDR is a modification of the terms of a loan whenEffective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, which in part eliminated the accounting for economic or legal reasons relatedTDR and enhanced disclosures requirements for loan modifications to the borrower’sborrowers experiencing financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not have otherwise considered. The COVID-related modifications that occurred between March 1, 2020 and January 1, 2022, were generally not classified as TDRs due to the relief under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, and the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised), and therefore are not included in the discussion below.difficulty. See Note 12 Current Accounting Developments and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies Update Troubled Debt RestructuringsLoan Modifications to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2021this Form 10-K10-Q for additional information. As part of the Company’s loss mitigation efforts, the Company may agree to modify the contractual terms of a loan to assist borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company negotiates loan modifications on a case-by-case basis to achieve mutually agreeable terms that maximize loan collectability and meet the borrower’s financial needs. The Company considers various factors to identify borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The primary factor for consumer borrowers is delinquency status. For commercial loan borrowers, these factors include credit risk ratings, the probability of loan risk rating downgrades, and overall risk profile changes. The modification may include, but is not limited to, payment deferrals, interest rate reductions, term extensions, principal forgiveness, or a combination of such modifications. Commercial loan borrowers that require immaterial modifications such as insignificant interest rate changes, short-term extensions (90 days or less) from the original maturity date, or temporary waivers or extensions of financial covenants which would not constitute material credit actions are generally not considered to be experiencing financial difficulty and are not included in the disclosure. Insignificant payment deferrals (three months or less in the last 12 months) are also not included in the disclosure.

After a loan is modified as a TDR, the Company continues to monitor its performance under its most recent restructured terms. A TDR may become delinquent and result in payment default (generally 90 days past due) subsequent to restructuring. The following table presents information on loans that entered into default during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and 2021, that were modified as TDRs during the 12 months preceding payment default:

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company has an allowancea current expected credit losses framework under ASU 2016-13 for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The Company’s allowance for credit losses, which includes both the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded credit commitments, is calculated with the objective of maintaining a reserve sufficient to absorb losses inherent in our credit portfolios. The measurement of the allowance for credit losses is based on management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses, and periodic evaluation of the loan portfolio, lending-related commitments, and other relevant factors.

The allowance for credit losses is deducted from the amortized cost basis of a financial asset or a group of financial assets so that the balance sheet reflects the net amount the Company expects to collect. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts, deferred fees and costs, and escrow advances. Subsequent changes in expected credit losses are recognized in net income as a provision for, or a reversal of, credit loss expense.

The allowance for credit losses estimation involves procedures to consider the unique risk characteristics of the portfolio segments. The majority of the Company’s credit exposures that share risk characteristics with other similar exposures are collectively evaluated. The collectively evaluated loans include performing loans and unfunded credit commitments. If an exposure does not share risk characteristics with other exposures, the Company generally estimates expected credit losses on an individual basis. These individually assessed loans include TDR and nonaccrual loans.

Allowance for Collectively Evaluated Loans

The allowance for collectively evaluated loans consists of a quantitative component that assesses the different risk factors considered in our models and a qualitative component that considers risk factors external to the models. Each of these components are described below.

44


Quantitative Component — The Company applies quantitative methods to estimate loan losses by considering a variety of factors such as historical loss experience, the current credit quality of the portfolio, and an economic outlook over the life of the loan. The Company incorporates forward-looking information using macroeconomic scenarios, which include variables that are considered key drivers of increases and decreases in credit losses. The Company utilizes a probability-weighted, multiple-scenario forecast approach. These scenarios may consist of a base forecast representing management's view of the most likely outcome, combined with downside or upside scenarios reflecting possible worsening or improving economic conditions. The quantitative models incorporate a probability-weighted calculation of these macroeconomic scenarios over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. If the life of loans extends beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company will consider historical experience or long-run macroeconomic trends over the remaining lives of the loans to estimate the allowance for loan losses.

There were no changes to the overall model methodology. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were no changes tomethodology or the reasonable and supportable forecast period and reversion to the historical loss experience method.method for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

The following table provides key credit risk characteristics and macroeconomic variables that the Company uses to estimate the expected credit losses by portfolio segment:

Allowance for Loan Losses for the Commercial Loan Portfolio

The Company’s C&I lifetime loss rate model estimates credit losses by estimating athe loss rate expected over the life of a loan. This loss rate is applied to the amortized cost basis, excluding accrued interest receivable, to determine expected credit losses. The lifetime loss rate model’s reasonable and supportable period spans 11 quarters, thereafter, immediately reverting to the historical average loss rate, expressed through the loan-level lifetime loss rate.

To generate estimates of expected loss at the loan level for CRE, multifamily residential, and construction and land loans, projected probabilities of default (“PDs”) and loss given defaults (“LGDs”) are applied to the estimated exposure at default, considering the term and payment structure of the loan. The forecast of future economic conditions returns to long-run historical economic trends within the reasonable and supportable period.

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

Allowance for Loan Losses for the Consumer Loan Portfolio

For single-family residential and HELOC loans, projected PDs and LGDs are applied to the estimated exposure at default, considering the term and payment structure of the loan, to generate estimates of expected loss at the loan level. The forecast of future economic conditions returns to long-run historical economic trends after the reasonable and supportable period. To estimate the life of a loan for the single-family residential and HELOC loan portfolios, the contractual term of the loan is adjusted for estimated prepayments based on historical prepayment experience. For other consumer loans, the Company uses a loss rate approach.

Qualitative Component — The Company also considers the following qualitative factors in the determination of the collectively evaluated allowance if these factors have not already been captured by the quantitative model. Such qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to:

—     loan growth trends;
—    the volume and severity of past due financial assets, and the volume and severity of adversely classified financial assets;
45


—    the Company’s lending policies and procedures, including changes in lending strategies, underwriting standards, collection, write-off, and recovery practices;
—    knowledge of a borrower’s operations;
—    the quality of the Company’s credit review system;
—    the experience, ability and depth of the Company’s management and associates;
—    the effect of other external factors such as the regulatory and legal environments, or changes in technology;
—    actual and expected changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions in which the Company operates; and
—    risk factors in certain industry sectors not captured by the quantitative models.

The magnitude of the impact of these factors on the Company’s qualitative assessment of the allowance for credit losses changes from period to period according to changes made by management in its assessment of these factors. The extent to which these factors change may be dependent on whether they are already reflected in quantitative loss estimates during the current period and the extent to which changes in these factors diverge from period to period.

While the Company’s allowance methodologies strive to reflect all relevant credit risk factors, there continues to be uncertainty associated with, but not limited to, potential imprecision in the estimation process due to the inherent time lag of obtaining information and normal variations between expected and actual outcomes. The Company may hold additional qualitative reserves that are designed to provide coverage for losses attributable to such risk.

48


Allowance for Individually Evaluated Loans

When a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other loans, such as in the case of 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 fair value of collateral less costs to sell; (2) the present value of expected future cash flows; andor (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 not to be collateral dependent, the Company uses the present value of future cash flows or the observable market value of the loan.

Collateral-Dependent Loans — The allowance of a collateral-dependent loan is limited to the difference between the recorded value and fair value of the collateral less cost of disposal or sale. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, collateral-dependent commercial and consumer loans totaled $36.4$22.0 million and $13.6$11.2 million, respectively. In comparison, collateral-dependent commercial and consumer loans totaled $37.0$47.4 million and $14.0$13.4 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021.2022. The collateral-dependent loans decreased from December 31, 2022, predominantly driven by the adoption of ASU 2022-02 related to the elimination of TDR guidance. The Company's collateral-dependent loans were secured by real estate. As of both SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the collateral value of the properties securing the collateral-dependent loans, net of selling costs, exceeded the recorded value of the loans.

The Company has three general areas for which it provides the allowance for unfunded credit commitments: (1) recourse obligations for loans sold, (2) letters of credit, and (3) unfunded lending commitments. The allowance for unfunded credit commitments is maintained at a level that management believes to be sufficient to absorb estimated expected credit losses related to unfunded credit facilities. See Note 1011 — Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information related to unfunded credit commitments.

The allowance for credit losses was $606.6$665.1 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, an increase of $37.5$43.2 million, compared with $569.1$621.9 million as of December 31, 2021.2022. The increase in the allowance for credit losses was primarily driven by the current economic outlook whichas well as loan growth. The current economic outlook reflected ongoing concerns with inflation, global supply chain disruptions and risinghigh interest rates, as well as loan growth.rates.

Loans Held-for-SaleThe Company considers multiple economic scenarios to develop the estimate of the allowance for loan losses. The scenarios may consist of a baseline forecast representing management's view of the most likely outcome, and downside or upside scenarios that reflect possible worsening or improving economic conditions, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company did not assign a weighting to its upside scenario. Instead, it assigned a slightly higher weighting to its downside scenario, while maintaining the same weighting to its baseline scenario, compared with the weightings assigned as of December 31, 2022. Management remains cautious regarding the economic outlook given the persistently high level of inflation, high interest rates, the recent strain to the financial system, and continued concerns on global oil prices and supply-chain issues. The U.S. baseline GDP growth forecast for the second half of 2023 has been lowered compared with the December 2022 forecast. The GDP growth forecast for the full year 2024, was lowered to 1.4% from the previous 2.0% forecasted as of December 31, 2022, reflecting an expected GDP slow-down as interest-sensitive spending weakens amid elevated interest rate environment. Average unemployment rates in the U.S. are expected to remain stable at 3.6% for the second half of 2023. However, job market softening is expected in 2024 and 2025. Compared with the baseline scenario, the downside scenario assumes that the combination of increasing supply shortages, political tensions between China and Taiwan, recent bank failures, still-elevated inflation, and the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep the federal funds rate elevated will lead to a recession in the third quarter of 2023.

Loans held-for-sale consisted of a $14.5 million multifamily residential loan and $635 thousand in single-family residential loans as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Note 8 — Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Partnerships, Tax Credit and Other Investments, Net and Variable Interest Entities

The CRA encourages banks to meet the credit needs of their communities, particularly low- and moderate-income individuals and neighborhoods. The Company invests in certain affordable housing projects in the form of ownership interests in limited partnerships or limited liability companies that qualify for CRA consideration and tax credits. These entities are formed to develop and operate apartment complexes designed as high-quality affordable housing for lower income tenants throughout the U.S. To fully utilize the available tax credits, each of these entities must meet the regulatory affordable housing requirements for a 15-year minimum 15-year compliance period. In addition to affordable housing projects, the Company invests in small business investment companies and new market tax credit projects that qualify for CRA consideration, as well as eligible projects that qualify for renewable energy and historic tax credits. Investments in renewable energy tax credits help promote the development of renewable energy sources, and investments in historic tax credits promote the rehabilitation of historic buildings and economic revitalization of the surrounding areas.

Variable Interest Entities

The majority of both the investments in affordable housing partnerships and tax credit and other investments discussed above are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where the Company is a limited partner in these partnerships, and an unrelated third party is typically the general partner or managing member who has control over the significant activities of these 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 structuresinvestments due to the general partner’s or managing member’s ability to manage the entity, which is indicative of the general partner’s or managing member’s power over the entity. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss in connection with these partnerships consists of the unamortized investment balance and any tax credits claimed that may become subject to recapture.

51


Special purpose entities formed in connection with securitization transactions are generally considered VIEs. 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 served as the collateral manager of a CLO that closed in 2019 and subsequently reassigned its portfolio manager responsibilities in 2020. The Company retained the top three investment grade-rated tranches issued by the CLO, for which the total carrying amount was $281.2 million and $291.7 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Note 9 Goodwill

Total goodwill was $465.7 million as of both SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021.2022. The Company’s goodwill impairment test is performed annually, as of December 31, or more frequently ifas events occur or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Based on the Company’s annual goodwill impairment testingtest as of December 31, 2021,2022, there was no impairment. Additional information pertaining to the Company’s accounting policy for goodwill is summarized in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 20212022 Form 10-K. Given the recent volatility in the banking industry, the Company performed an analysis of goodwill during the second quarter of 2023 that consisted of a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying values of each reporting unit exceeded their estimated fair values. The results of this analysis indicated that no impairment of goodwill existed as of June 30, 2023.

Loan commitments are agreements to lend to customers provided 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.commitment fees. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future funding requirements.

54


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.

Litigation — The Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary 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.

While a portion of RSUs are time-based vesting awards, others vest subject to the attainment of specified performance goals, referred to as “performance-based RSUs.” Performance-based RSUs are granted annually upon approval by the Company’s Compensation Committee based on the performance in the year prior to the grant date of the award. The number of awards that vest can range from zero percent to a maximum of 200% of the granted number of awards based on the Company’s achievement of specified performance criteria over a performance period of three years.

Compensation costs are calculated using 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 For information on changes in the share price of the Company’s common stock up to the settlement date.

Note 1415 — Business Segments

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. 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. The information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities due to the interrelationships among the segments.entities.

The Consumer and Business Banking segment primarily provides financial products and services to consumer and commercial customers through the Company’s domestic branch network and digital banking platform. This segment offers consumer and commercial deposits, mortgage and home equity loans, and other products and services. It also originates commercial loans for small- and medium-sized enterprises through the Company’s branch network. Other products and services provided by this segment include wealth management, treasury management, interest rate risk hedging and foreign exchange services.

The Commercial Banking segment primarily generates commercial loan and deposit products. Commercial loan products include CRE lending, construction finance,financing, commercial business lending, working capital lines of credit, trade finance, letters of credit, commercial business lending, affordable housing lending, asset-based lending, asset-backed finance, project finance and equipment financing. Commercial deposit products and other financial services include treasury management, foreign exchange services and interest rate and commodity risk 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 two core segments, namely the Consumer and Business Banking and the Commercial Banking segments.

59


The Company utilizes an internal reporting process to measure the performance of the three operating segments within the Company. The internal reporting process derives operating segment results by utilizing allocation methodologies for revenues 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. Noninterest income and noninterest expense directly attributable to a business segment are assigned to that 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 income, and loan and deposit volume. Charge-offs are recorded to the segment directly associated with the respective loans charged off, and provision for credit losses is recorded to the segments based on the related loans for which allowances are evaluated. The Company’s internal reporting process utilizes a full-allocation methodology. Under this methodology, corporate 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 the Company’s liquidity and interest rate management. The Company’smanagement and the internal FTP process is also managed by the corporate treasury function within the Other segment.process. The FTP 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 characteristics 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.

fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
the impact of increased focus on social, environmental and sustainability matters, which may affect the Company’s operations as well as those of its customers and the economy more broadly;
significant turbulence or disruption in the capital or financial markets, which could result in, among other things, reduced investor demand for loans, a reduction in the availability of funding or increases in funding costs, declines in asset values and/or recognition of allowance for credit losses on securities held in the Company’s debt securities and equity securities portfolio; and
the impact of climate change, natural or man-made disasters or calamities, such as wildfires, droughts and earthquakes, all of which are particularly common in California, or other events that may directly or indirectly result in a negative impact on the Company’s financial performance.

For a more detailed discussion of some of the factors that might cause such differences, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022 (the “Company’s 2021 Form 10-K”) under the heading Item 1A.

Current Developments

Economic Developments

Heightened inflationary pressures caused by rising oilRecent external data indicate that the pace of inflation has moderated in recent months and other commodity pricesthe volatility in the banking industry earlier in the year appears to have abated. However, inflation remains above the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s (“Federal Reserve”) 2% target and further interest rate hikes are anticipated later this year. The higher interest rate environment continues to negatively impact the market value of bank-held securities. Additionally, the commercial real estate market is under pressure due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,tighter credit conditions and global supply chain disruptions related todecreased demand. These factors have adversely affected economic activity and the COVID-19 pandemic continue to weigh on the economy. Concernsbanking sector.

LIBOR Transition

LIBOR is a widely referenced benchmark rate that is intended to reflect the rate at which banks can borrow wholesale funds from other banks on an unsecured and short-term basis. In March 2021, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority and Intercontinental Exchange Benchmark Administration announced that the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR settings and non-USD LIBOR settings would cease to be published after December 31, 2021. The publication of the overnight, one-, three-, six- and 12-month USD LIBOR settings has been extended through June 30, 2023, which will provide additional time to wind down or renegotiate existing contracts that reference these LIBOR settings.

In March 2022, President Biden signed into law the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the “LIBOR Act”). The LIBOR Act provides a clear and uniform federal solution to transition legacy LIBOR-based contracts that either contain insufficient contractual fallback provisions addressing the LIBOR cessation and its transition to a benchmark selected by the Federal Reserve or lack contractual fallback provisions entirely. The LIBOR Act also establishes a safe harbor for lenders, shielding lenders from potential litigation resulting from their choice of a replacement rate, under certain situations including the use of a Federal Reserve-selected replacement rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The Federal Reserve published its proposed rulemaking that implements the LIBOR Act in the Federal Register in July 2022, which establishes benchmark replacement recommendations for various product types.

The Company holds a significant volume of LIBOR-based products, including loans, derivatives, debt securities, assets purchased under resale agreements (“resale agreements”), junior subordinated debt, and assets sold under repurchase agreements (“repurchase agreements”) that are indexed to LIBOR tenors that will cease to be published after June 30, 2023. The Company has a cross-functional team to manage the communication of the Company’s transition plans with both internal and external stakeholders. The team helps to ensure that the Company appropriately updates its business processes, analytical tools, information systems and contract language to minimize disruption during and after the LIBOR transition. The Company has invested in updates to business and legal processes, models, analytical tools, and information and operational systems to facilitate the transition of legacy LIBOR products and offer products under alternative rates.Phase Out

The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), a benchmark rate that was widely referenced in the past, ceased publication on July 1, 2023. In preparation for this phase out, beginning January 1, 2022, the Company startedceased offering new loans or loan renewals based on LIBOR, and began offering loans based on alternative reference rates including SOFR(“ARRs”) such as Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index during the fourth quarterIndex. The Company’s LIBOR exposures were predominantly comprised of 2021, and ceased offering new LIBORcommercial loans and LIBOR loan renewals beginning January 1, 2022. The Company continuesderivative contracts, which have been remediated (i.e., amended to engage with customersreference an ARR either on or before June 30, 2023 or at the instrument’s next reset date after June 30, 2023), or already contained appropriate fallback provisions to proactively modify LIBOR-based product contracts and transition to a benchmark replacement prioran ARR. As of July 3, 2023, the remaining small portion of the Company’s LIBOR-based assets and liabilities have all been amended to June 30, 2023. The Company will leverage relevant contractual and statutory solutions, if necessary, includinguse the LIBORAdjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act and other relevant legislation to transition any residual LIBOR-based product exposures maturing after June 2023 to appropriate benchmark replacements. The Company’s LIBOR transition is anticipated to continue through June 30, 2023.and regulation.

The Company will continue to monitor potential risks and impacts associated with the transition.

Deposit Insurance Assessment RatesPotential Regulatory Reforms in Response to Recent Bank Failures

In October 2022,Following the bank failures of March 2023, Congress and federal regulatory agencies are considering potential changes to the laws and regulations that apply to banks. On April 28, 2023, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) issued reports on the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, respectively, identifying potential causes that the federal banking agencies may seek to address through changes to their supervisory and regulatory policies. On July 27, 2023, the Federal Reserve, FDIC, adoptedand Office of the Comptroller of the Currency jointly issued a final rulenotice of proposed rulemaking that would revise the capital framework applicable to increasebanking organizations with $100 billion or more in total consolidated assets or with significant trading activity and, if finalized, would likely result in meaningfully increased capital requirements for those organizations. By imposing additional costs on banking organizations with $100 billion or more in total consolidated assets, the initial base deposit insurance assessment rate schedules uniformlyproposal could reduce the benefits of growth beyond that size for insured depository institutionsa banking organization that has less than $100 billion in total consolidated assets. The extent of any further actions to be taken by two basis points (“bps”), beginningthese agencies or Congress in response to the bank failures, and potential causes highlighted in the first quarterly assessment periodFederal Reserve and FDIC reports, and the impact of 2023. The increaseany such actions on institutions with less than $100 billion in total consolidated assets, such as the assessment rate schedules is intended to: (1) increase the likelihood that the reserve ratio of the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) will reach at least 1.35 percent by the statutory deadline of September 30, 2028; (2) reduce the FDIC’s need to consider a potentially pro-cyclical assessment rate increase, and (3) support growth in the DIF in progressing towards the FDIC’s long-term goal of a 2 percent Designated Reserve Ratio. The new assessment rate schedules will remain in effect unless and until the reserve ratio meets or exceeds 2 percent. As a result of the adoption of the assessment rate schedules, the FDIC insurance costs of the Bank will likely increase but not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.Company, remains unclear.

Community Reinvestment ActFDIC Special Assessment and Uninsured Deposits

On May 5, 2022,11, 2023, the federal banking agencies issuedFDIC published a proposed rule that would substantially revise how they evaluateimpose a special deposit insurance assessment on banks in order to recover losses that the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) has incurred in the receiverships of failed institutions. The proposed rule would impose the special assessment for eight quarterly assessment periods beginning with the first quarter of 2024 assessment period, subject to adjustments if the total amount collected is insufficient to cover the DIF’s costs. Each quarterly special assessment would be equal to 3.13 basis points (0.0313%) of a bank’s estimated uninsured deposits that exceeded $5 billion as of December 31, 2022.

On July 24, 2023, the FDIC issued Financial Institution Letter (“FIL”) 37-2023 Estimated Uninsured Deposits Reporting Expectations, which clarifies the reporting of an insured depository institution’s record of satisfyingestimated uninsured deposits in the credit needs of its entire communities, including low- and moderate-income individuals and neighborhoods, underCall Report Schedule RC-O, Memorandum item 2 (“RC-OM item 2”). This FIL specifies that uninsured deposits reported in RC-OM item 2 should include the Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”). We are evaluating the potential impactdeposit balances in excess of the proposed ruleFDIC limit that have been collateralized by pledged assets, and include all deposits of subsidiaries. The Company will evaluate previously filed call reports based on the Bank.

Inflation Reduction Act

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. federal government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The bill contains numerous tax provisions, including a 15 percent corporate minimum tax. At this point, the legislation is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

The Company’s primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the interest income earned on interest-earning assets less 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 the 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, the volume of noninterest-bearing sources of funds, and asset quality.

The increasedecrease in deposits was primarily due to a decrease in noninterest-bearing demand accounts, which was partially offset by increases in time deposits and interest-bearing checking. The growth in time deposits partially offset by decreasesand interest-bearing checking reflected customers seeking higher yields in noninterest-bearing demand and money market deposits. This move from noninterest-bearing and lower paying non-maturity deposits to time deposits was largely driven by continued increases in benchmark rates.a rising interest rate environment. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits comprised 40%30% and 43%38% of total deposits as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively.

Our deposit base is seasoned, stable and well-diversified. We offer our customers an insured cash sweep (“ICS”) product that allows customers to insure deposits above FDIC insurance limits. During the first half of 2023, we have seen an increase in the demand for the ICS product by our customers. The Company’s domestic uninsured deposits, excluding collateralized and affiliate deposits ratio improved to 40% as of June 30, 2023, compared with 51% as of December 31, 2022. Management believes that presenting uninsured deposits excluding collateralized and affiliate deposits provides a more accurate view of the deposits at risk, given that the collateralized deposits are secured, and the affiliate deposits are not customer-facing and eliminate in consolidation.

Regulatory Capital and Ratios

The federal banking agencies have risk-based capital adequacy requirements intended to ensure that banking organizations maintain capital that is commensurate with the degree of risk associated with their operations. The Company and the Bank are each subject to these regulatory capital adequacy requirements. See Item 1. Business — Supervision and Regulation — Regulatory Capital Requirements and Regulatory Capital-Related Development in the Company’s 20212022 Form 10-K for additional details.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, which requires the measurement of the allowance for credit losses to be based on management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses inherent in the Company’s relevant financial assets. The Company has elected the phase-in option provided by a final rule that delays an estimate of the current expected credit losses methodology (“CECL”) effect on regulatory capital for two years and phases in the impact over three years. The rule permits certain banking organizations to exclude from regulatory capital the initial adoption impact of CECL, plus 25% of the cumulative changes in the allowance for credit losses under CECL for each period until December 31, 2021, followed by a three-year phase-out period in which the aggregate benefit is reduced by 25% in 2022, 50% in 2023 and 75% in 2024. Accordingly, theour capital ratios as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022 delayed 75%2023 reflect a delay of 50% of the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital through the year 2021.

Risk Management

Overview

In the normal course of conducting its business, 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.business. The Company operates under a Board-approved enterprise risk management (“ERM”) framework, which outlines the 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 asas: credit, risk, liquidity, risk, capital, risk, market, risk, operational, risk, compliance, legal, strategic, technology and regulatory risks, legal risks, strategic risks, and reputational risks.reputational.

The Risk Oversight Committee of the Board of Directors monitors the ERM program through establishedidentified risk categories and provides 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 manage and 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 Review (“IAR”). Internal Audit and IAR providesprovide assurance and evaluatesevaluate the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes as established by the Company. Reporting directly to the Board’s Audit Committee, Internal Audit maintains organizational independence and objectivity. Further discussion and analysis of thecertain primary risk areas are detailed in the following subsections of Risk Management.

Credit Risk Management

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

The Risk Oversight Committee has primary oversight responsibility for identified enterprise risk categories including credit risk. The Risk Oversight Committee monitors management’s assessment of asset quality, credit risk trends, credit quality administration, underwriting standards, and portfolio credit risk management strategies and processes, such as diversification and concentration limits, all of which enable management to control credit risk. At the management level, the Credit Risk Management Committee has primary oversight responsibility for credit risk. The Senior Credit Supervision function manages credit policy for 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 evaluates and reports the overall credit risk exposure to senior management and the Risk Oversight Committee. Reporting directly to the Board’s Risk Oversight Committee, the Independent Asset ReviewIAR function provides additional support to the Company’s strong credit risk management culture by providing an independent and objective assessment of underwriting and documentation quality. A key focus of our credit risk management is adherence to a well-controlled underwriting and audit monitoring process.

The Company assesses the overall credit quality performance of the loans held-for-investment portfolio through an integrated analysis of specific performance ratios. This approach forms the basis of the discussion in the sections immediately following: Credit Quality, Nonperforming Assets Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”) and Allowance for Credit Losses.

Credit Quality

The Company utilizes a credit risk rating system to assist in monitoring credit quality. Loans are evaluated using the Company’s internal credit risk rating of 1 through 10. For more information on the Company’s credit quality indicators and internal credit risk ratings, refer to Note 7 — Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

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. The Company’s loan modifications are handled on a case-by-case basis and are negotiated to achieve mutually agreeable terms that maximize loan collectability and meet the borrower’s financial needs. The following table presents the performing and nonperforming TDRs by portfolio segment as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses for TDRs was $16.9 million as of September 30, 2022 and $4.8 million as of December 31, 2021.

Performing TDRs were $91.9 million as of September 30, 2022, a decrease of $21.9 million or 19% from $113.8 million as of December 31, 2021. This decrease primarily reflected the payoffs and paydowns of performing C&I and single-family residential TDR loans. Approximately 94% of the performing TDRs were current as of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Nonperforming TDRs were $32.7 million as of September 30, 2022, an increase of $2.3 million or 8% from $30.4 million as of December 31, 2021. This increase primarily reflected newly designated nonperforming C&I TDR loans, partially offset by payoffs and paydowns of C&I and single-family residential nonperforming TDR loans.

Existing TDRs that were subsequently modified in response to the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be classified as TDRs. Customers who require further assistance upon exiting from the COVID-19 deferral programs may receive further modifications which may be classified as TDRs. As of September 30, 2022, there were no TDRs that were provided modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the amount of TDRs that were provided modification related to the COVID-19 pandemic were insignificant as of December 31, 2021.

Loan Modifications Due to COVID-19 Pandemic

The Company has granted a range of commercial and consumer loan accommodations, predominantly in the form of payment deferrals, to provide relief to borrowers experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For COVID-19 related loan modifications, which occurred between March 1, 2020 through January 1, 2022, that have met the loan modification criteria under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, or under the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised), the Company elected to temporarily suspend TDR accounting under ASC Subtopic 310-40, Receivables — Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. As of September 30, 2022, COVID-19 loans under payment deferral and forbearance programs totaled $42.4 million, or 0.1% of total loans, compared with $363.1 million, or 0.9% of total loans as of December 31, 2021. Loans that have exited the modification program were substantially all current as of September 30, 2022.

Allowance for Credit Losses

ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments requires the measurement of the allowance for credit losses to be based on management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses inherent in the Company’s relevant financial assets. The allowance for credit losses estimate uses various models and estimation techniques based on historical loss experience, current borrower characteristics, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other relevant factors.

In addition to the allowance for loan losses, the Company maintains an allowance for unfunded credit commitments. The Company has three general areas for which it provides the allowance for unfunded credit commitments: (1) recourse obligations for loans sold, (2) letters of credit, and (3) unfunded lending commitments. The Company’s methodology for determining the allowance calculation for unfunded lending commitments uses the lifetime loss rates of the on-balance sheet commitment. Recourse obligations for loans sold and letters of credit use the weighted loss rates for the applicable segment of the individual credit.

In the case of loans and securities, allowance for credit losses are contra-asset valuation accounts that are deducted from the amortized cost basis of these assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. In the case of unfunded credit commitments, the allowance for credit losses is a liability account that is reported as a component of Accrued expenses and other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company is committed to maintaining the allowance for credit losses at a level that is commensurate with thesufficient to provide appropriate reserves to absorb estimated inherentfuture credit losses in the loan portfolio, including unfunded credit facilities. While the Company believes that the allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2022 was appropriate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio and in unfunded credit commitments basedaccordance with GAAP. For additional information on the information available, 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. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires numerous estimates and judgements. For a description of the policies, methodologies and judgments used to determine the allowance for credit losses, see Item 7. MD&A — Critical Accounting Estimates and Item 8. Financial Statements — Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 20212022 Form 10-K, and Note 7Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

The Company considers multiple economic scenarios to develop the estimate of the allowance for loan losses. The scenarios may consist of a baseline forecast representing management's view of the most likely outcome, and downside or upside scenarios reflecting possible worsening or improving economic conditions. As of September 30, 2022, the Company assigned a lower weighting to its downside scenario and higher weightings to the baseline and upside scenarios, compared with the weightings assigned as of December 31, 2021. The current forecast as of September 30, 2022 incorporates an updated impact of high inflation, lower than previously expected annual Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth, rising interest rates, and continued global oil and supply chain issues caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Macroeconomic assumptions underlying the baseline forecast include annual GDP growth of 1.6% and 1.4% for 2022 and 2023, respectively, and the unemployment rate to average 3.7% and 3.9% for 2022 and 2023, respectively. The downside scenario assumed annual GDP growth of 1.5% in 2022 dropping to a 2.0% decline for 2023, and the unemployment rate to rise from a 4.2% average for 2022 to a 7.3% average for 2023. The upside scenario assumed annual GDP growth of 1.9% and 4.1% for 2022 and 2023, respectively, and the unemployment rate to improve from an average of 3.6% for 2022 to 3.3% for 2023.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, PPP loans outstanding were $110.9 million and $534.2 million, respectively. Because these loans are fully guaranteed by the Small Business Administration, there was no allowance for loan losses established for these loans as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.portfolio.

The allowance for unfunded credit commitments was $24.0 million as of September 30, 2022, compared with $27.5 million as of December 31, 2021.

Liquidity Risk Management

Liquidity

Liquidity is a financial institution’s capacityrisk arises from the Company’s inability to meet its customer deposit withdrawals and obligations to other counterparties as they come due, or to obtain adequate funding at a reasonable cost to meet those obligations. Liquidity risk also considers the stability of deposits. 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,flow 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 over liquidity risk management. At the management level, the Company’s Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) establishes the liquidity guidelines that govern the day-to-day active management of the Company’s liquidity position by requiring sufficient asset-based liquidity to cover potential funding requirements and avoid over-dependence on volatile, less reliable funding markets. These guidelines are established and monitored for both the Bank and East West on a stand-alone basis to ensure that the Company can serve as a source of strength for its subsidiaries. The ALCO regularly monitors the Company’s liquidity status and related management processes, providingand provides regular reports to the Board of Directors. The Company’s liquidity management practices have been effective under normal operating and stressed market conditions.

Liquidity Risk — Liquidity Sources. The Company’s primary source of funding is from deposits generated by its banking business, which arewe believe is a relatively stable and low-cost. Totallow-cost source of funding. Our loans are funded by deposits, which amounted to $53.86$55.66 billion as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, compared with $53.35$55.97 billion as of December 31, 2021.2022. The Company’s loan-to-deposit ratio was 88%90% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, compared with 78%86% as of December 31, 2021.2022.

In addition to deposits, the Company has access to various sources of wholesale financing, including borrowing capacity with the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRBSF”), such as under the BTFP, unsecured federal funds lines of credit with various correspondent banks, and several master repurchase agreements with major brokerage companies to sustain an adequate liquid asset portfolio, meet daily cash demands and allow management flexibility to execute its business strategy. EconomicHowever, general financial market and economic conditions and the stability of capital marketscould impact the Company’sour access to and the cost of wholesale financing. Theexternal funding. Additionally, the Company’s access to capital markets is also affected by the ratings received from various credit rating agencies. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had available borrowing capacity of $20.51 billion. The available borrowing capacity included $10.88 billion with the FHLB, $2.17 billion with the FRBSF, unsecured federal funds lines of credit with correspondent banks of $936.0 million, and borrowing capacity from unpledged debt securities of $6.52 billion.

Unencumbered loans and/or debt securities were pledged to the FHLB, and the FRBSF discount window, and the FRBSF BTFP as collateral. The Company has established operational procedures to enable borrowing against these assets, including regular monitoring of the total pool of loans and debt securities eligible as collateral. Eligibility of collateral is defined in guidelines from the FHLB and FRBSF and is subject to change at their discretion. The Company believes that its liquidity sources are sufficient to meet all reasonably foreseeable short-term needs. See Item 2 — MD&A — Balance Sheet Analysis — Deposits and Other Sources of Funding in this Form 10-Q for further detaildetails related to the Company’s funding sources.

The Company believes these AFS debt securities provide quick sources of liquidity to obtain financing, regardless of market conditions, through sale or pledging.

Liquidity Risk — Cash Requirements. In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company enters into contractual obligations that require future cash payments, including funding for customer deposit withdrawals, repayments for short- and long-term borrowings, leases obligations and other cash commitments. For additional information on these obligations, see Note 9 — Deposits to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K, and Note 4 — Assets Purchased under Resale Agreements and Sold under Repurchase Agreements, Note 8 — Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Partnerships, Tax Credit and Other Investments, Net and Variable Interest Entities and Note 10— Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

The Company also has off-balance sheet arrangements which represent transactions that are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements include (1) commitments to extend credit, such as loan commitments, commercial letters of credit for foreign and domestic trade, standby letters of credit (“SBLCs”), and financial guarantees, to meet the financing needs of its customers, (2) future interest obligations related to customer deposits and the Company’s borrowings, and (3) transactions with unconsolidated entities that provide financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company, or engage in leasing, hedging or research and development services with the Company. SinceBecause many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future funding requirements. The Company does not expect the total commitment amounts as of June 30, 2023 to have a material current or future impact on the Company’s financial conditions or results of operations. Information about the Company’s loan commitments, commercial letters of credit and SBLCs is provided in Note 1011 — Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. The Company’s liquidity sources have been, and are expected to be, sufficient to meet all such cash requirements.

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows summarizes the Company’s sources and uses of cash by type of activitiesactivity for the first ninesix months of 2022ended June 30, 2023 and 2021.2022. Excess cash generated by operating and investing activities may be used to repay outstanding debt or invest in liquid assets.

Liquidity Risk — Liquidity for East West. In addition to bank level liquidity management, the Company manages liquidity at the parent company level for various operating needs including payment of dividends, repurchases of common stock, principal and interest payments on its borrowings, acquisitions and additional investments in its subsidiaries. East West’s primary source of liquidity is from cash dividends distributed by its subsidiary, East West Bank. The Bank is subject to various statutory and regulatory restrictions on its ability to pay dividends as discussed in Item 1. Business — Supervision and Regulation — Dividends and Other Transfers of Funds ofin the Company’s 20212022 Form 10-K. East West held $226.5$253.9 million and $345.0$228.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. Management believes that East West has sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet the projected cash obligations for the currentcoming year.

Liquidity Risk — Liquidity Stress Testing. The Company utilizes liquidity stress analysis to determine the appropriate amounts of liquidity to maintain at the Company, foreign subsidiary and foreign branch levels needed to meet contractual and contingent cash outflows under a range of scenarios. Scenario analyses include assumptions about significant changes in key funding sources, market triggers, potential uses of funding and economic conditions in certain countries. In addition, Company specificCompany-specific events are incorporated into the stress testing. For example, based on the Company’s analysis of the banking industry disruption in the first half of 2023, deposit runoffs were assumed to be more front-loaded to trigger earlier remediation actions. 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 contingency funding plans on a consolidated basis and for individual entities.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, 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.business, and is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its liquidity, capital resources or operations. Given the uncertaintyuncertain and the rapidly changing market and economic conditions, the Company will continue to actively evaluate the impact on its business and financial position.

Interest Rate Risk Management

Interest rate risk results primarily fromis the Company’s traditional banking activities of gathering deposits and extending loans, which are the primary areas ofrisk that 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, as well as affect the difference between the interest the Company earns on interest-earning assets and pays on interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, changesfluctuations in interest rates can influencehave a negative impact on the Company’s earnings and capital stemming from mismatches in the Company’s asset and liability cash flows primarily arising from customer-related activities such as lending and deposit-taking. The Company is subject to interest rate of principal prepayments on loansrisk because:

Assets and liabilities may mature or reprice at different times. If assets reprice faster than liabilities and interest rates are generally rising, earnings will initially increase;
Assets and liabilities may reprice at the speed of deposit withdrawals. Due to the pricing term mismatchessame time but by different amounts;
Short- and the embedded options inherent in certain products, changes inlong-term market interest rates may change by different amounts. For example, the shape of the yield curve may affect not only the expected near-term earnings, but alsoyield of new loans and funding costs differently;
The remaining maturity of various assets or liabilities may shorten or lengthen as interest rates change. For example, if long-term mortgage interest rates increase sharply, mortgage-related products may pay down at a slower rate than anticipated, which could impact portfolio income and valuation; or
Interest rates may have a direct or indirect effect on loan demand, collateral values, mortgage origination volume, and the economicfair 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.other financial instruments.

In addition, the Company’s policies permit the use of derivative instruments to assist in managing interest rate risk.

The interestInterest rate risk exposure is measured and monitored through various risk management tools, which include a simulation model that performs interest rate sensitivity analyses under variousmultiple interest rate scenarios.scenarios against a baseline. The simulation model incorporates the Company’s cash instruments, loans, debt securities, resale agreements, deposits, borrowingsmarket’s forward rate expectations and repurchase agreements, as well as financial instruments from the Company’s foreign operations. The Company uses both a static balance sheetearning assets and a forward growth balance sheet to perform the interest rate sensitivity analyses. The simulated interest rate scenarios include an instantaneous non-parallel shift in the yield curve and a gradual non-parallel shift in the yield curve (“rate ramp”) over a static balance sheet. In addition, the Company also performs simulations using other 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.

liabilities. The net interest income simulation model is based on the actual maturity and repricing characteristics of the Company’s interest-rateinterest 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 the 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 instruments’ 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, which are derived from a regression analysis of the Company’s historical deposit data. The Company used full- through-the-economic-cycle betas with each incremental rate increase in the rate ramp scenarios, and did not assume lags in repricing. Deposit beta commonly refers to the correlation of the changes in interest rates paid on deposits to changes in the benchmark interest rates. The model is also sensitive to the loan and investment prepayment assumptions that are 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 the actual behavior is different from the assumptions used in the models, there could be material changes in interest rate sensitivity results. The assumptions applied in the model are documented, supported, and periodically back-tested to assess the reasonableness and effectiveness. The Company makes appropriate calibrationsFor a more detailed discussion of the Company’s interest income simulation model, refer to Item 7.

Twelve-Month Net Interest Income Simulation

Net interest income simulation modeling measures interest rate risk through earnings volatility. The simulation projects the cash flow changes in interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, expressed in terms of net interest income, over a specified time horizon for defined interest rate scenarios. Net interest income simulations provide insight into the impact of market ratesrate changes on earnings, which help guide risk management decisions. The Company assesses interest rate risk by comparing the changes of net interest income in different interest rate scenarios.

The composition of the Company’s loan portfolio creates sensitivity to interest rate movements due to the fastera mismatch of repricing ofbehavior between the floating-rate loan portfolio than theand deposit products. Growth and/or contraction in the Company’s loans, other earning assets, deposits, and borrowings may lead to changes in the sensitivity to interest rate movements. Year-to-date decreases in cash and cash equivalents, resale agreements, and short-term investments, together with growth in fixed-rate loans, as well as the interest rate hedging activities and changes in the funding mix have decreased the Company’s asset sensitivity. In the table above, net interest income volatility is expressed in relation to the base-case net interest income which increased between Septemberdecreased as of June 30, 20222023.

While an instantaneous and sustained non-parallel shift in market interest rates was used in the simulation model described in the preceding paragraph, theThe Company also models scenarios based on gradual shifts in interest rates and assesses the corresponding impacts. These interest rate scenarios provide additional information to estimate the Company’s underlying interest rate risk. The rate ramp table below shows the net interest income volatility under a gradual non-parallel shift of the yield curve, in even monthly increments over the first 12 months, followed by rates held constant thereafter based on a staticflat balance sheet as of the date of the analysis. Actual results will vary based on the timing and pace of interest rate changes, as well as changes in the balance sheet.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the Company’s net interest income profile reflects an asset sensitive position.position, where assets reprice more than liabilities. Net interest income is expected to increase when interest rates rise as the Company has a large sharepopulation of variable rate loans, in its loan portfolio, primarily linkedtied to Prime or LIBORand Term SOFR indices. The Company’s interest income is sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates. As of June 30, 2023, the Company designated interest rate contracts with a notional amount of $5.25 billion as cash flow hedges, which reduced net interest income volatility by approximately 1.6% of the base net interest income for every 100 bps change in interest rate. The Company’s deposit portfolio is primarily composed 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 modeled results are highly sensitive to reinvestment yielddeposit durations, beta, deposit mix and deposit beta assumptions.other behavioral assumptions, which were derived using a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches. Actual results may deviate from the model results in terms of net interest income growth during a period of rising interest rates will also reflectdue to earning asset growth variation and deposit mix changes based on customer preferences relative to the interest rate environment. During a period of declining interest rates, balance sheet growth could offset headwinds to net interest income from yield compression.

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 economic value approach provides a comparatively broader scope than the net interest income volatility approach since it captures all anticipatedrepresents the discounted present value of cash flows.

The EVE simulation reflectsflows over the sensitivityexpected life of the instruments. Due to this longer horizon, EVE is useful to interest rate changes across the full maturity spectrum of the Company’s assets and liabilities. It identifiesidentify risks arising from repricing, prepayment and maturity gaps between assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, as well as from off-balance sheet derivative exposures that are off-balance sheet. The simulation providesexposure, over their lifetime. This long-term economic perspective into the Bank’sCompany’s interest rate risk profile which allows the BankCompany to manageidentify anticipated negative effects of interest rate fluctuations.However, the difference in time horizons can cause the EVE analysis to diverge from the shorter term net interest income analysis presented above. Given the uncertainty of the magnitude, timing and direction of future interest rate movements, the shape of the yield curve, and potential changes to the balance sheet, 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 energy commodity prices. However, the Company periodically enters into derivative transactions in order to reducemanage its exposure to market risks,risk, primarily interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The Company believes that these derivative transactions, when properly structured and managed, providesprovide a hedge against inherent risk in certain assets and liabilities or against risk in specific transactions. Hedging transactions may be implemented using a variety of derivative instruments such as swaps, forwards, options, and collars. The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in interest received on certain floating-rate commercial loans and interest paid on certain floating-rate borrowings. Foreign exchange derivatives are used in net investment hedging strategies to mitigate the risk of changes in the U.S. dollar equivalent value of a designated monetary amount of the Company’s net investment in East West Bank (China) Limited. Prior to entering into any hedgingaccounting hedge activities, the Company analyzes the costs and benefits of the hedge in comparison to alternative strategies. The Company also repositions its hedging derivatives portfolio based on the current assessment of economic and financial conditions, including the interest rate and foreign currency environments, balance sheet composition and trends, and the relative mix of its cash and derivative positions.

In addition, the Company enters into derivative transactions in order to accommodate its customers with their business needs or to assist customers with their risk management objectives, such as managing exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currencies and energy commodity prices. To economically hedge against the derivative contracts entered into with the Company’s customers, the Company enters into mirroredoffsetting derivative contracts with third-party financial institutions.institutions, some of which are cleared through central clearing organizations. 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 counterparty financial institutions. 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 in the contracts and the spread variances between the customer derivatives and the offsetting financial counterparty positions. 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 is subject to credit risk associated with the counterparties to the derivative contracts. This counterparty credit risk is a multi-dimensional form of risk, affected by both the exposure and 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 risksrisk and the Company has guidelines in place to manage counterparty concentration, tenor limits, and collateral. The Company manages the credit risk of its derivative exposurespositions by diversifying its positions among various counterparties, by entering into legally enforceable master netting arrangements,agreements, and by requiring collateral arrangements, where possible. The Company may also transfer counterparty credit risk related to interest rate swaps to third-party financial institutionsinstitutional third-parties through the use of credit risk participation agreements. Certain derivative contracts are required to be centrally cleared through central clearinghouses, whichto further mitigatesmitigate counterparty credit risk.

Changes to the composition of the Company’s derivatives designated as hedging instruments during the first nine months of 2022 reflect actions taken for interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate risk management. The Company repositions its hedging derivatives portfolio based on the current assessment of economic and financial conditions, including the interest rate and foreign currency environments, balance sheet composition and trends, and the relative mix of its cash and derivative positions.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments — The Company enters into interest rate, foreign exchange and energy commodity contracts to support the business needs of its customers. When derivative transactions are executed with its customers, the derivative contracts are offset by paired trades with third-party financial institutions. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are either exchange-traded, centrally cleared through a clearinghouse or over-the-counter. Derivative contracts entered with central clearing organizations are settled-to-market daily to the extent the central clearing organizations’ rulebook legally characterize daily payments of variation margin as a settlement.

The Company offers various interest rate derivative contracts to its customers and enters into offsetting contracts with third-party financial institutions, including central clearing organizations, to manage its interest risk. Interest rate 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 any specific Company assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, or to forecasted transactions in a hedging relationship, and are therefore classified as economic hedges. The contracts are marked-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.

The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts with its customers to accommodate their business needs. The foreign exchange contracts include forward and spot contracts, swaps and options. To manage the foreign exchange risk and credit exposures from the contracts with its customers, the Company enters into offsetting foreign exchange contracts with third-party financial institutions and/or enters into bilateral collateral and master netting agreements with certain customer counterparties. The changes in the fair values of contracts 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. As of September 30, 2022, the Company anticipates performance by all counterparties and has not experienced nonperformance by any of its counterparties, and therefore did not incur any related losses. 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-denominated 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 exemptions to proprietary trading restrictions provided under Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Volcker Rule. The Company does not speculate in the foreign exchange markets, and actively manages its foreign exchange exposures within prescribed risk limits and defined controls.

The Company enters into energy commodity contracts with its customers to allow them to hedge against the risk of energy commodity price fluctuations. To economically hedge against the risk of fluctuation in energy commodity prices in the products offered to its customers, the Company enters into offsetting energy commodity contracts with third-party financial institutions, including central clearing organizations. 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.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with, or as an alternative to U.S. GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have such an effect, that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable financial measure that is calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. AThe non-GAAP financial measure maymeasures discussed in this Form 10-Q are return on average TCE, adjusted efficiency ratio, and tangible book value per share. Certain additional non-GAAP financial measures that are components of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures are also be a financial metric that is not required by U.S. GAAP or other applicable requirements.set forth and reconciled in the table below. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding U.S. 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.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

See Note 1011 Commitments and Contingencies — Litigation to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q, incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Company’s 20212022 Form 10-K contains disclosure regarding the risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s business under the heading Item 1A. Risk Factors. There hashave been no material changechanges to the Company’s risk factors as presented in the Company’s 20212022 Form 10-K.10-K, except as described below:

Risks Related to Our Operations

We may be impacted by the actions, soundness or creditworthiness of other financial institutions, which can cause disruption within the industry and increase expenses. (1)

Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, or other relationships. We execute transactions with various counterparties in the financial industry, including broker-dealers, commercial banks, and investment banks. Defaults or failures of financial services institutions and instability in the financial services industry in general can lead to market-wide liquidity problems, increased credit risk and withdrawals of uninsured deposits. The failures of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank in the first half of 2023 resulted in significant disruption in the financial services industry and negative media attention, which has also adversely impacted the volatility and market prices of the securities of financial institutions and resulted in outflows of deposits for us and many other financial institutions. These events have adversely impacted and could continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as the market price and volatility of our common stock.

The cost of resolving the recent bank failures is expected to lead to special assessments by the FDIC to replenish the DIF, pursuant to a rule the FDIC proposed on May 11, 2023. Such events may also increase the risk of a recession or lead to regulatory changes and initiatives that could adversely impact the Company. Changes to laws or regulations, or the impositions of additional restrictions through supervisory or enforcement activities, could have a material impact on our business. Regulatory changes could also adversely impact our ability to access funding, increase the cost of funding, limit our access to capital markets, and negatively impact our overall financial condition.

The proportion of our deposit account balances that exceed FDIC insurance limits may expose us to enhanced liquidity risk.

A significant factor in the bank failures in the first half of 2023 appears to have been the proportion of the deposits held by each institution that exceeded applicable FDIC insurance limits, and the withdrawal of such deposits over a short period of time. If a significant portion of our deposits were to be withdrawn within a short period of time such that additional sources of funding would be required to meet withdrawal demands, we may be unable to obtain funding at favorable terms, which may have an adverse effect on our net interest margin. Moreover, obtaining adequate funding to meet our deposit obligations may be more challenging during periods of elevated interest rates and financial industry instability. Our ability to attract depositors during a time of actual or perceived distress or instability in the marketplace may be limited. Further, interest rates paid for borrowing generally exceed the interest rates paid on deposits. This spread may be exacerbated by higher prevailing interest rates. In addition, because our AFS debt securities lose value when interest rates rise, our ability to cover liquidity needs from sale or pledging of these securities may be negatively impacted during periods of elevated interest rates. Under these circumstances, we may be required to access additional funding from other sources in order to manage our liquidity risk.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

There were no unregistered sales of equity securities or repurchase activities during the third quarterthree months ended June 30, 2023.
