EAST WEST BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
East West Bancorp, Inc. is a registered bank holding company that offers a full range of banking services to individuals and businesses through its subsidiary bank, East West Bank and its subsidiaries (“East West Bank” or the “Bank”). The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q include the accounts of East West, East West Bank and East West’s subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. As of March 31,September 30, 2023, East West also has six wholly-owned subsidiaries that are statutory business trusts (the “Trusts”). In accordance with FASB 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 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 2022 Form 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 contemplateconsider 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, and Signature Bank in March 2023 and of First Republic Bank earlier in May 2023the 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 institutionsinstitutions. In addition, these bank failures have caused concern and uncertainty regarding the liquidity of the banking sector as a whole and resulted in lower levelssome regional bank customers choosing to maintain deposits with larger financial institutions. Further, competition for deposits has increased in recent periods, and the cost of deposits for us and many other financial institutions.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. In response to these failures, many large depositors have withdrawn deposits in excess of FDIC insurance limits in order to diversify their risk. 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, both of which we are currently experiencing. 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, after-tax proceeds resulting from the sale of such assets may not be sufficient to recover the full amount of our exposure. Under these circumstances, we may be required to access funding from sources such as the Federal Reserve’s discount window or additional funding from its recently established Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”), from which we borrowed $4.50 billion during the first quarter of 2023, in order to manage our liquidity risk. See Note 10 — Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information related to the Company’s borrowings from the BTFP.

| Standard | Required Date of Adoption | Description | Effect on Financial Statements |
ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments —Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and the Vintage Disclosures | January 1, 2023
Early adoption is permitted | ASU 2022-02 eliminates the •accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”), and requires the Company to apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance to determine whether a modification made to a loan results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loanloan; and •requirement to use a discounted cash flow method to measure receivables.
The guidance also requires •enhanced disclosures for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when the borrower is experiencing financial difficultydifficulty; and •vintage disclosures of current period gross charge-offs (on a current year-to-date basis) by year of loan origination (vintage) for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of ASC 326-20: Financial Instruments — Credit Losses — Measured at Amortized Cost. | The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 on January 1, 2023 on a prospective basis, except for the guidance related to the elimination of TDR recognition and measurement, which was adopted on a modified retrospective approach.
This adoption increased the allowance for loan losses on TDRs as of December 31, 2022 by $6.0 million and decreased opening retained earnings on January 1, 2023 by $4.3 million after-tax. Disclosures as of March 31,September 30, 2023 are presented in accordance with this guidance while prior periodyear amounts are reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet to be Adopted
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Standard | Required Date of Adoption | Description | Effect on Financial Statements |
| Standards Not Yet Adopted |
ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements | January 1, 2024
Early adoption is permitted | ASU 2023-01 amends the accounting for leasehold improvements for leases between entities under common control arrangements. The guidance requires leasehold improvements associated with leases between companies under common control to be amortized by a lessee over the economic life of the leasehold improvements, regardless of the lease term or, until the lessee ceases to control the use of the underlying asset through a lease, at which time the remaining value of the leasehold improvement would be accounted for as a transfer between companies under common control through an adjustment to equity.
The amendments in this guidance may be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the period in which the entity first applied Topic 842 or prospectively (1) to all new leasehold improvements recognized on or after the date the entity first applies the amendments, or (2) to all new and existing leasehold improvements recognized on or after the date the entity first applies the amendments. | The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2023-01 on January 1, 2024 on a prospective basis. |
ASU 2023-02, Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method | January 1, 2024
Early adoption is permitted | ASU 2023-02 expands the scope of the proportional amortization method to equity tax credit investment programs if certain conditions are met. Previously, the proportional amortization method could only be used for investments in low-income housing tax credit structures. Under this guidance, companies are able to elect, on a tax credit program-by-tax credit program basis, to apply the proportional amortization method to all equity investments meeting the criteria in ASC 323-740-25-1.
The amendments in this guidance must be applied on a modified retrospective or a retrospective basis. | The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. |
ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations — Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement | January 1, 2025
Early adoption is permitted | ASU 2023-05 requires a joint venture to recognize and initially measure assets contributed to the joint venture in a formation transaction to be measured at fair value. Under this guidance, the initial formation of the joint venture would trigger a new basis of accounting and recognize contributed net assets generally at fair value as of the joint venture’s formation date. The excess of the fair value of the joint venture’s outstanding equity interests over the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities is recognized as goodwill, regardless of whether the joint venture meets the definition of a business in its stand-alone financial statements, and measure its contributed total net assets upon formation as the fair value of the joint venture as a whole, which would equal the fair value of 100% of the joint venture’s outstanding equity interests. The guidance also allows a joint venture to apply the measurement period guidance, which is largely consistent with the acquisition method for business combination in ASC 805-10. The guidance also introduces new disclosure requirements related to the nature and financial effect of the joint venture.
The amendments in this guidance are effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. Additionally, joint ventures that were formed before January 1, 2025 may elect to apply the amendments retrospectively if sufficient information exists. | The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2023-05 on January 1, 2025.

Significant Accounting Policies Update
Loan Modifications — Certain loans are modified in the normal course of business for competitive reasons or in conjunction with the Company’s loss mitigation activities. Upon the adoption of ASU 2022-02, the Company applies the general loan modification guidance provided in ASC 310-20 to all loan modifications, including modifications made forto borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Under the general loan modification guidance, a modification is treated as a new loan only if the following two conditions are met: (1) the terms of the new loan are at least as favorable to the Company as the terms for comparable loans to other customers with similar collection risks; and (2) modifications to the terms of the original loan are more than minor. If either condition is not met, the modification is accounted for as thea 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’sCompany’s economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. The Company applies the same credit loss methodology it uses for similar loans that were not modified. For the Company’s accounting policy related to the loan modifications’ allowance for loan losses, see Note 7 — Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses — Allowance for Credit Losses to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
Note 3 — Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under applicable accounting standards, the Company measures a portion of its assets and liabilities at fair value. These assets and liabilities are predominantly 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 not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but 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 established fair value 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.10-K.
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 within the fair value hierarchy.
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.providers for each security category.
When a quoted price in an active market exists for the identical security, this price is used to determine the fair value and the AFS debt security 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 March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 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.
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 both March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 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-USDnon-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 the 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. Due to the observable nature of all other significant inputs used in deriving the estimated fair value, RPAscredit contracts are classified as Level 2.
Equity Contracts — As partEquity contracts consist 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 technology and life sciences sectors. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the warrants included on the Consolidated Financial Statements were from both public and private companies.companies, and any liability-classified contingent issuable shares of the Company. The Company values thesefair value of the warrants is 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.
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of a 49.99% equity interest in Rayliant Global Advisors Limited (“Rayliant”) during the third quarter of 2023, the Company granted performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) as part of its consideration. The vesting of these equity contracts is contingent on Rayliant meeting certain financial performance targets, and they are accounted for as a derivative liability. The fair value of these liability-classified equity contracts varies based on the operating revenue and operating EBITDA of Rayliant to be achieved during the future performance period. Due to the unobservable nature of the input assumptions, these equity contracts are classified as Level 3. For additional information on the equity contracts, refer to Note 6— Derivatives and Note 8— Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Partnerships, Tax Credit and Other Investments, Net and Variable Interest Entities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
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. The Company enters into offsetting commodity contracts with third-party financial institutions to manage its exposure.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 following tables present financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

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.
•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 financial statements and annual tax returns, the annual 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 the investment was made. The Company assesses its tax credit and other investments for possible other-than-temporary impairment 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.

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.

As of March 31,September 30, 2023, the Company had 555567 AFS debt securities in a gross unrealized loss position with no credit impairment, primarily consisting of 259269 U.S. government agency and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities, 100 non-agency mortgage-backed securities, 6766 corporate debt securities, and 17 U.S. Treasury99 non-agency mortgage-backed securities. In comparison, as of December 31, 2022, the Company had 559 AFS debt securities in a gross unrealized loss position with no credit impairment, primarily consisting of 263 U.S. government agency and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities, 100 non-agency mortgage-backed securities, and 68 corporate debt securities, and 15 U.S. Treasury securities.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
The Company evaluates each AFS debt security where the fair value declines below amortized 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 2022 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 remaining securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31,September 30, 2023 were mainly comprised of the following:
•Non-agency mortgage-backed securities — The market value decline as of March 31,September 30, 2023, was primarily due to interest rate movement and spread widening. Since these securities are rated investment grade by 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 March 31,September 30, 2023 was primarily due to interest rate movement and spread widening. A 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 duringin the first quarternine months of 2023, these securities are nearly all rated investment grade by NRSROs or issued by well-capitalized financial institutions with strong profitability. The contractual payments from these corporate debt securities have been and are expected to be received on time. The Company will continue to monitor the market developments in the banking sector and the credit performance of these securities.
As of both March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company intended to hold the AFS debt securities with unrealized losses through the anticipated recovery period and it was more-likely-than-not that the Company would 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 both March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. In addition, there was no provision for credit losses recognized for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023 and 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. For additional information on the Company’s credit loss methodology, refer to Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Allowance for Credit Losses on Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities to the Consolidated 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 March 31,September 30, 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 Marchboth September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023.2022. 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.

Note 6 — Derivatives
The Company uses derivative instruments to manage exposure to market risk, primarily interest rate and foreign currency risk,risks, as well as to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Company’s goal is to manage interest rate sensitivity and volatility to mitigate the effect of interest rate changes on earnings or capital. The Company also uses foreign exchange contracts to manage the foreign exchange rate risk associated with certain foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, as well as the Bank’s investment in East West Bank (China) Limited. The Company recognizes all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. While the Company designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship, other derivatives serve as economic hedges. For additional information on the Company’s derivatives and hedging activities, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.
The following table presents the notional amounts and fair values of the Company’s derivatives as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Certain derivative contracts are cleared though central clearing organizations where variation margin is applied daily as settlement to the fair values of the contracts. The fair values are presented on a gross basis prior to the application of bilateral collateral and master netting agreements, but after the application of variation margin payments as settlement to fair values of contracts cleared through central clearing organizations. Applying variation margin payments as settlement to the fair values of derivative contracts cleared through the London Clearing House (“LCH”) and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) resulted in reductions in the derivative asset and liability fair values by $16.0 million and $65.7 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2023. In comparison, applying variation margin payments as settlement to LCH- and CME-cleared derivative transactions resulted in reductions in the derivative asset and liability fair values by $167.2 million and $81.3 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2022. Total derivative asset and liability fair values are adjusted to reflect the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and cash collateral received or paid. The resulting net derivative asset and liability fair values are included in Other assets and Accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
Cash Flow Hedges — The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in interest payments received on certain floating-rate commercial loans, or paid on certain floating-rate borrowings due to changes in contractually specified interest rates. As of March 31,September 30, 2023, interest rate contracts in notional amounts of $3.25$5.00 billion were designated as cash flow hedges to convert certain variable-rate loans from floating-rate payments to fixed-rate payments. Gains and losses on the hedging derivative instruments are recognized in AOCI and reclassified to earnings in the same period the hedged cash flows impact earnings and within the same income statement line item as the hedged cash flows. Considering the interest rates, yield curve and notional amount as of March 31,September 30, 2023, the Company expects to reclassify an estimated $56.1$66.2 million of after-tax net losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges from AOCI into earnings during the next 12 months.
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company prepaid the variable-rate borrowing where an interest rate swap contract in notional amount of $200.0 million was designated as a cash flow hedge. The interest rate swap was terminated at the same date the borrowing was prepaid. Pre-tax gains in the amount of $696 thousand were reclassified from AOCI to Interest expense before the termination of the hedge and the remaining gains in the amount of $1.6 million in AOCI were immediately recognized into Noninterest income upon the termination of the hedge as the forecasted interest payments on the borrowing were no longer probable to occur.
The following table presents the pre-tax changes in AOCI from cash flow hedges for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023 and 2022. The after-tax impact of cash flow hedges on AOCI is shown in Note 14 — Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form-10-Q.

Customer-Related Positions and other Economic Hedge Derivatives — The Company enters into interest rate, commodity, and foreign exchange derivatives at the request of its customers and generally enters into offsetting derivative contracts with third-party financial institutions to mitigate the inherent market risk. Income primarily results from the spread between the customer derivative and the offsetting dealer position. Certain offsetting derivative contracts entered into by the Company are cleared though central clearing organizations where variation margin is applied daily as settlement to the fair values of the contracts. Applying variation margin payments as settlement to the fair values of derivative contracts cleared through the London Clearing House (“LCH”) and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) resulted in reductions in the derivative asset and liability fair values of $94.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023. In comparison, applying variation margin payments as settlement to LCH and CME-cleared derivative transactions resulted in reductions in the derivative asset and liability fair values of $163.4 million and $12.1 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2022.
The Company also utilizes foreign exchange contracts to mitigate the effect of currency fluctuations on certain foreign currency-denominated on-balance sheet assets and liabilities.liabilities, primarily foreign currency denominated deposits that it offers to its customers. A majority of the foreign exchange contracts had original maturities of one year or less as of both March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Credit Contracts — The Company periodically enters into credit RPAs with institutional counterparties to manage the credit exposure of the interest rate contracts associated with syndication loans. Under the RPAs, a portion of the credit exposure is transferred from one party (the purchaser of credit protection) to another party (the seller of credit protection). The seller of credit protection is required to make payments to the purchaser of credit protection if the underlying borrower defaults on the related interest rate contract. The Company may enter into protection sold or protection purchased RPAs. Credit risk on RPAs is managed by monitoring the credit worthiness of the borrowers and the institutional counterparties, which is a part of the Company’s normal credit review and monitoring process. The majority of theAll referenced entities of the protection sold RPAs were investment grade and the weighted-average remaining maturity was 2.72.5 years and 2.4 years respectively, as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.2022, respectively. Assuming that the underlying borrowers referenced in the interest rate contracts defaulted, the Company would not have any current exposure in the protection sold RPAs as of both March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had outstanding protection purchased RPAs with notional amount of $25.0 million and minimal fair value. In comparison, the Company did not have any outstanding protection purchased RPAs as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Equity Contracts — As part of the loan origination process, the Company may obtain warrants to purchase the preferred and/or common stock of theirthe borrowers’ companies, which are mainly in the technology and life sciences sectors. Warrants grant the Company the right to buy a certain class of the underlying company’s equity at a certain price before expiration. In connection with the Company’s investment in Rayliant during the third quarter of 2023, the Company granted PRSUs as part of its consideration. The vesting of these equity contracts is contingent on Rayliant meeting certain financial performance targets during the future performance period. For additional information on these equity contracts, refer to Note 3— Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Note 8— Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Partnerships, Tax Credit and Other Investments, Net and Variable Interest Entities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

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.”
•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.”
•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.
The following tables summarize the Company’s loans held-for-investment and current-periodcurrent year-to-date gross write-offs by loan portfolio segments, internal risk ratings and vintage year as of the periods presented. The vintage year is the year of loan origination, renewal or major modification.

The modification may include, but is not limited to, payment deferrals, interest rate reductions, term extensions, principal forgiveness, or charged-off during the period, resulting in an amortized cost balancea combination of zero at the end of each period, were excludedsuch modifications. Commercial loan borrowers that require immaterial modifications such as insignificant interest rate changes, short-term extensions (90 days or less) from the disclosures below.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.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company has a current expected credit losses framework 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.
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.
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 the loans extends beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company will consider historical experience or long-run macroeconomic trends over the remaining liveslife of the loans to estimate the allowance for loan losses.
There were no changes to the overall model methodology or the reasonable and supportable forecast period, except to the C&I segment, and no changes to the reversion to the historical loss experience method for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023 and 2022. The reasonable and supportable forecast period for the C&I segment changed from 11 quarters to eight quarters due to model redevelopment during the third quarter of 2023.
The following table provides key credit risk characteristics and macroeconomic variables that the Company uses to estimate the expected credit losses by portfolio segment:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
| Portfolio Segment | | Risk Characteristics | | Macroeconomic Variables |
| C&I | | Age percentage, size and spread at origination, delinquency status, sector and risk rating | | Volatility IndexUnemployment rate, Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”), and BBB yield to 10-year U.S. TreasuryTwo-Ten treasury spread(1) |
| CRE, Multifamily residential, and Construction and land | | Delinquency status, maturity date, collateral value, property type, and geographic location | | Unemployment rate, Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”),GDP, and U.S. Treasury rates |
| Single-family residential and HELOCs | | FICO score, delinquency status, maturity date, collateral value, and geographic location | | Unemployment rate, GDP, and home price index |
| Other consumer | | Loss rate approach | | Immaterial (1)(2) |
| | | | |
(1)Macroeconomic variables were updated due to model redevelopment.
(2)Macroeconomic variables are included in the qualitative estimate.
Quantitative Component — Allowance for Loan Losses for the Commercial Loan Portfolio
The Company’s C&I lifetime loss rate model estimates the 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 11eight 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 toTo 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.
Quantitative Component — 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;
— 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.
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 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; or (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 March 31,September 30, 2023, collateral-dependent commercial and consumer loans totaled $18.7$18.1 million and $12.3$15.2 million, respectively. In comparison, collateral-dependent commercial and consumer loans totaled $47.4 million and $13.4 million, respectively, as of December 31, 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 March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the collateral value of the properties securing the collateral-dependent loans, net of selling costs, exceeded the recorded value of the loans.

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 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 11 — Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information related to unfunded credit commitments. The following table summarizes the activities in the allowance for unfunded credit commitments for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023 and 2022:

The allowance for credit losses was $647.6$689.1 million as of March 31,September 30, 2023, an increase of $25.7$67.2 million, compared with $621.9 million as of December 31, 2022. The increase in the allowance for credit losses was primarily driven by net loan growth and economic forecasts that reflect continued caution given persistent high inflation, the current economic outlook as well as loan growth. The current economic outlook reflected ongoing concerns with inflation, global supply chain disruptionshigh interest rate environment and rising interest rates.the CRE market outlook.
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,outcome; downside and downside or upside scenarios that reflect possible worsening or improving economic conditions, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, theThe 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 weightingweightings to its baseline, scenario, compared with the weightings assignedupside and downside scenarios as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Management remains cautious regarding the economic outlook, given the persistently high level of inflation, risinghigh interest rates, the recent strain to the financial system, and continued concerns on global oil prices, and supply-chain issues.ongoing global conflicts. The 2023 full year U.S. baseline GDP growth forecast for the first two quartersas of September 30, 2023, rose to 2.5% and 1.0%,has improved, compared with 0.1% and 0.7% inthat as of December 31, 2022. However the December 2022 forecast. Additionally, the2024 full year U.S. baseline GDP growth forecast for the second half of 2023 has been loweredremained at 1.4%, compared with the December 2022 forecast. GDP growth for the full year 2024, was lowered to 1.9% from the previous 2.0% forecasted as of December 31, 2022, reflecting an expected GDP slow-down as interest-sensitive spending weakens amid the elevated interest rates. Averagerate environment. The 2023 full year U.S. unemployment rates are expectedrate is forecasted to remain stablebe at 3.5% for 2023. However, job market softening is expected in 2024 and 2025.3.7%, which improved from that forecasted as of December 31, 2022. Compared with the baseline scenario, the downside scenario assumes thata recession in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to a combination of increasing supply shortages, politicalgeopolitical tensions, between China and Taiwan, recent bank failures, still-elevatedhigh inflation, and high interest rates. The upside scenario assumes the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep the federal funds rate elevated will lead to a recessioneconomy experiences full employment in the second quarter of 2023.near-term, and stable financial markets boosting consumer confidence.

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.

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.
Commercial letters of credit are issued to facilitate domestic and foreign trade transactions, while SBLCs are generally contingent upon the failure of the customers to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party. As a result, the total contractual amounts do not necessarily represent future funding requirements. The Company’s historical experience is that SBLCs typically expire without being funded. Additionally, in many cases, the Company holds collateral in various forms against these SBLCs. As part of its risk management activities, the Company monitors the creditworthiness of customers in conjunction with its SBLC exposure. Customers are obligated to reimburse the Company for any payment made on the customers’ behalf. If the customers fail to pay, the Company would, as applicable, liquidate the collateral and/or offset existing accounts. As of March 31,September 30, 2023, total letters of credit of $2.43$2.53 billion consisted of SBLCs of $2.40$2.50 billion and commercial letters of credit of $29.6$32.7 million. In comparison, as of December 31, 2022, total letters of credit of $2.29 billion consisted of SBLCs of $2.27 billion and commercial letters of credit of $21.6 million. As of both March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, substantially all SBLCs were ratedgraded as “Pass” byutilizing the Bank’s internal credit risk rating system.
The Company applies the same credit underwriting criteria to extend loans, commitments, and conditional obligations to customers. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Collateral and financial guarantees may be obtained based on management’s assessment of a customer’s credit risk. Collateral may include cash, accounts receivable, inventory, personal property, plant and equipment, and real estate property.
Estimated exposure to loss from these commitments is included in the allowance for unfunded credit commitments and amounted to $27.7$33.6 million and $26.2 million as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

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 it is impossible to ascertain the ultimate resolution or range of financial liability, based on information known to the Company as of March 31,September 30, 2023, the Company does not believe there is any pending legal proceeding to which the Company is a party that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. In light of the inherent uncertainty in legal proceedings, however, there can be no assurance that the ultimate resolution will not exceed established reserves and it is possible that the outcome of a particular matter, or a combination of matters, may be material to the Company’s financial condition for a particular period, depending upon the size of the loss and the Company’s income for that particular period.

Note 15 — 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, 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.
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 included 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 provideproviding 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.

Current Developments
Economic Developments
In response toRecent external data indicate that the recentpace of inflation has slowed steadily and the volatility in the banking industry earlier in the U.S. government intervened to maintain financial stability by implementing a “systemic risk exception” which allowed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to protect all the depositors of certain failed banks, whileyear has abated. However, inflation remains above the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve SystemSystem’s (“Federal Reserve”) created2% target, which could signal a new lending facilitypotential interest rate hike later this year. The higher interest rate environment continues to mitigate liquidity pressures on the banking system. Although the broader banking system remains well capitalized,negatively impact the market value of U.S. Treasury and government-backed mortgage securities held by banks continues to declinebank-held securities. Additionally, the commercial real estate (“CRE”) market is under pressure due to rising interest rates. Meanwhile, inflationarytighter credit conditions and decreased demand. These factors have adversely affected economic activity and the banking sector. Despite these concerns, continue to drive higher interest rates and weigh onfears of a potential recession in 2023 are falling, bolstered by the economy. The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy has included multiple interest rate hikescommitment to steering the economy towards a “soft landing”, a scenario in which inflation retreats without a sharp uptick in unemployment. However, factors such as the economic impacts of unrest, wars, and acts of terrorism could lead to higher oil prices and increased inflationary pressures, along with the possibility that have slowed the pace of inflation. Despite the slowdown in inflation, the Federal Reserve has indicated that additional measures are necessary to bring inflation in line with its 2% annual target. The combination of higherwill maintain high interest rates depressed global equity prices, elevated market volatility andlonger than anticipated. It is also uncertain whether there will be a slowdownU.S. government shutdown in global economies has led to concerns of a potential recession.

Recent Bank Failures and Potential Regulatory Reforms
Following the bank failures in 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 (“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.
LIBOR Transition
London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”On July 27, 2023, the Federal Reserve, FDIC, and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (together, the “Agencies”), jointly released a benchmark rateproposed rule to implement the international capital standards issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and known as “Basel III Endgame.” The Basel III Endgame proposal would revise the capital framework applicable to large banking 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. In addition, on August 29, 2023, the FDIC released a proposed rule that has historically been widely referenced, will no longerwould require covered insured depository institutions (“IDIs”) to develop and submit detailed plans demonstrating how they could be published after June 30, 2023. On January 1, 2022,resolved in an orderly and timely manner in the Company ceased offering new loansevent of receivership. IDIs with total assets of $100 billion or loan renewals based on LIBOR,more would be required to submit full resolution plans, and began offering loans based on alternative reference rates (“ARRs”) such as Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)IDIs with total assets between $50 billion and $100 billion, including the Bank, would be required to submit more limited informational filings. Under the proposal, if the FDIC deemed a resolution plan or informational filing not credible and the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index. A significant majority ofIDI fails to resubmit a credible plan, the Company’s LIBOR exposure, predominantly comprised of commercial loans and derivative contracts have been remediated (i.e., amended to reference an ARR either before or immediately after June 2023) or already contains appropriate fallback provisions to transitionIDI could become subject to an ARR. The remaining LIBOR exposure represents a small minority of the Company’s assets and liabilities. enforcement action.The Company will leverageis evaluating the appropriate contractual and statutory provisions, including the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act and other relevant legislation, to transition any remaining LIBOR-based product exposures maturing after June 2023 to the appropriate benchmark replacement rates. The Company’s LIBOR transition is anticipated to continue through June 30, 2023.
For additional information related to the potential impact surrounding the transition from LIBOR on the Company’s business, see item 1A. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Financial Matters in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. For additional background information on the LIBOR transition, see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) — Overview in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.this proposal.
Potential Regulatory ReformsOn August 29, 2023, the Agencies jointly released a proposed rule that would require bank holding companies and non-consolidated banks with total assets of $100 billion or more to issue and maintain minimum amounts of long-term debt. The Company has total consolidated assets of less than $100 billion and does not have significant trading activity, and therefore would not be subject to the Basel III Endgame requirements or the long-term debt requirements if they are finalized as proposed. However, by imposing additional costs on banking organizations with $100 billion or more in Response to Recent Bank Failurestotal consolidated assets, these rule proposals could reduce the benefits of growth beyond that size for a banking organization that has less than $100 billion in total consolidated assets, such as the Company.
The recent failures of Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, California,FDIC Special Assessment and Signature Bank, New York, New York, in MarchUninsured Deposits
On May 11, 2023, and First Republic Bank, San Francisco, California, in May 2023, may lead to regulatory changes and initiatives that could impact the Company. For example, the FDIC has statedreleased a proposed rule that it plans towould impose a special deposit insurance assessment on banks in order to recover losses that the FDIC’sFDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund incurs(“DIF”) has incurred in the receivershipreceiverships of these institutions. Changesfailed institutions in 2023. The proposed rule would impose the financial services industry, including an increase inspecial 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 (“bps”), or 0.0313% of a bank’s estimated uninsured deposits and technological advances, have also promptedthat exceeded $5 billion as of December 31, 2022. The estimated impact of the FDICspecial assessment is not expected to explore options and potential reformsbe material to the deposit insurance system. Additionally, in response to these bank failures, President Biden has encouraged the federal banking agencies to adopt various reforms, including establishing more stringent capital and liquidity rules and other enhanced prudential standards for banking organizations with $100 billion or more in assets and completing an incentive compensation rule for bank executives pursuant to Section 956 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Company.
On April 28,July 24, 2023, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC issued reports onFinancial Institution Letter (“FIL”) 37-2023 — Estimated Uninsured Deposits Reporting Expectations, which clarified the potential causesreporting of failuresan insured depository institution’s estimated uninsured deposits in the Call Report Schedule RC-O, Memorandum item 2 (“RC-OM item 2”). This FIL specified that uninsured deposits reported in RC-OM item 2 should include the deposit balances in excess of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, respectively. Among the changes discussed, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC highlighted potential changes neededlimit that have been collateralized by pledged assets, and include all deposits of subsidiaries. The Company revised its calculation of RC-OM item 2 and resubmitted its December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023 Call Reports to supervisory approaches for bankscomply with the FIL during the third quarter of all sizes as well as to regulatory requirements. Currently, it is unclear what actions federal regulatory agencies will take as a result of these failures.2023.
Small Business Lending Data Collection RuleCommunity Reinvestment Act Reform
On March 30,October 24, 2023, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau finalizedAgencies issued a final rule revising their framework for evaluating banks’ records of community reinvestment under section 1071the Community Reinvestment Act. Under the revised framework, banks with assets of at least $2 billion, such as the Bank, are considered large banks and their retail lending, retail services and products, community development financing, and community development services will be subject to periodic evaluation. Depending on a large bank’s geographic distribution of lending, the evaluation of retail lending may include assessment areas in which the bank extends loans but does not operate any deposit-taking facilities, in addition to assessment areas in which the bank has deposit-taking facilities. Certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act requiring lenders to collectfinal rule will apply beginning January 1, 2026, and report data regarding small business lending activity.the remaining provisions will apply beginning January 1, 2027. The Company is evaluating the impact of the newfinal rule.
Bank Term Funding Program
In March 2023, the Federal Reserve announced the creation of the Bank Term Funding Program (“BTFP”), which was designed to make additional funding available to eligible depository institutions by allowing them to receive short-term advances backed by collateral pledged at par value. See Note 10— Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Item 2. MD&A — Balance Sheet Analysis — Deposits and Other Sources of Funding — Other Sources of Funding in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) for additional information related to the Company’s borrowings from the BTFP.
Climate Accountability
In October 2023, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law Senate Bill 253, the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (“CCDAA”) and Senate Bill 261, the Climate-Related Financial Risk Act (“CRFRA”). The CCDAA is applicable to U.S.-organized entities that do business in California with annual revenue in excess of $1 billion. Subject to the adoption of implementing regulations by the California Air Resources Board, these entities will need to file annual reports publicly disclosing their direct greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions from operations (“Scope 1 emissions”), indirect GHG emissions from energy use (“Scope 2 emissions”) and indirect upstream and downstream supply-chain GHG emissions (“Scope 3 emissions”). The reporting requirements related to Scope 1 and 2 emissions will begin in 2026, while the reporting requirements of Scope 3 emissions will begin in 2027. The CRFRA requires U.S.-organized entities that do business in California, with annual revenues over $500 million to prepare biennial reports disclosing climate-related financial risk and the measures they have adopted to reduce and adapt to that risk. The initial round of the climate risk disclosure reports will be due by January 1, 2026. The Company is a reporting entity under both laws and is reviewing them in preparation for compliance.

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.
First quarter 2023 net interest income before provision for credit losses was $599.9 million, an increase of $184.2 million or 44%, compared with $415.6 million for the first quarter of 2022. First quarter 2023 net interest margin was 3.96%, an increase of 109 bps from 2.87% for the first quarter of 2022. The increases in net interest income in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2023, and the increase in net interest margin for the first nine months of 2023, compared with the same prior year periods primarily reflected higher interest-earning assetloan yields and strongincreased loan growth,volume, partially offset by a higher average cost of interest-bearing deposits. The decrease in net interest margin for the third quarter of 2023, compared with the same prior year period was primarily driven by a higher rate of increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, which has more than offset expanding interest-earning asset yields. The changes in yieldsyield and ratesrate reflected rising benchmark interest rates.
Average interest-earning assets were $61.48$65.05 billion for the firstthird quarter of 2023, an increase of $2.79$5.57 billion or 5%9% from $58.69$59.48 billion for the third quarter of 2022. For the first nine months of 2023, the average interest-earning assets were $63.55 billion, an increase of $4.60 billion or 8% from $58.95 billion for the first quarternine months of 2022. The increaseincreases in average interest-earning assets in both periods primarily reflected loan growth, and higher interest-bearing cash and deposits with banks, partially offset by decreases in assets purchased under resale agreements and available-for-sale (“resale agreements”AFS”) and interest-bearing cash and deposits with banks.debt securities.
The yield on average interest-earning assets for the firstthird quarter of 2023 was 5.51%5.87%, an increase of 252168 bps from 2.99%4.19% for the firstthird quarter of 2022. The yield on average interest-earning assets for the first nine months of 2023 was 5.69%, an increase of 215 bps from 3.54% for the first nine months of 2022. The year-over-year increaseincreases in the yield on average interest-bearinginterest-earning assets primarily resulted from rising benchmark interest rates.
The average loan yield for the firstthird quarter of 2023 was 6.14%6.51%, an increase of 251176 bps from 3.63%4.75% for the third quarter of 2022. The average loan yield for the first quarternine months of 2022 was 6.33%, an increase of 220 bps from 4.13% for the first nine months of 2022. The changes in the average loan yield reflected the loan portfolio’s sensitivity to rising benchmark interest rates. Approximately 61%59% and 65%62% of loans held-for-investment were variable-rate or hybrid loans in their adjustable-rate period as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Deposits are an important source of funds and impact both net interest income and net interest margin. Average deposits were $54.95$55.20 billion for the third quarter of 2023, which increased $1.15 billion or 2% from $54.05 billion for the third quarter of 2022. For the first nine months of 2023, average deposits were $54.81 billion, an increase of $744.2 million or 1% from $54.07 billion for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $928.6 million or 2% from $54.03 billion for the first quarternine months of 2022. Average noninterest-bearing deposits were $19.71$16.30 billion for the firstthird quarter of 2023, a decrease of $3.72$6.12 billion or 16%27% from $23.43$22.42 billion for the third quarter of 2022. For the first nine months of 2023, average noninterest-bearing deposits were $17.63 billion, a decrease of $5.61 billion or 24% from $23.24 billion for the first quarternine months of 2022. Average noninterest-bearing deposits made up 36%30% and 43%41% of average deposits for the third quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 32% and 43% for the first quartersnine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The average cost of deposits was 1.60%2.43% for the firstthird quarter of 2023, a 150192 bps increase from 0.10%0.51% for the firstthird quarter of 2022. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 3.45% for the third quarter of 2023, a 259 bps increase from 0.86% for the third quarter of 2022. The average cost of deposits was 2.06% for the first nine months of 2023, a 180 bps increase from 0.26% for the first nine months of 2022. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 3.03% for the first nine months of 2023, a 258 bps increase from 0.45% for the first nine months of 2022. The year-over-year increases primarily reflected higher rates paid on time deposits, and money market and checking deposits in response to the rising interest rate environment.
The average cost of funds calculation includes deposits, short-term borrowings, Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, assets sold under repurchase agreements (“repurchase agreements”), and long-term debt and short-term borrowings.debt. For the firstthird quarter of 2023, the average cost of funds was 1.69%2.59%, a 157204 bps increase from 0.12%0.55% for the firstthird quarter of 2022. The increase inFor the first nine months of 2023, the average cost of funds was primarily2.21%, a 192 bps increase from 0.29% for the first nine months of 2022. The increases in both periods were mainly driven by the increase in theincreased cost of deposits discussed above.

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 2022 Form 10-K for additional details.
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 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 (“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, our capital ratios as of March 31,September 30, 2023 reflect a delay of 50% of the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital.

Risk Management
Overview
In the normal course of 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 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 as: credit, liquidity, capital, market, operational, compliance, legal, strategic, technology and reputational.
The Risk Oversight Committee of the Board of Directors monitors the ERM program through such identified 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 to reduce the risks to which the Company’s operations are exposed.
The Company’s ERM program is executed along the three lines of defense model, which provides for a consistent and standardized risk management control environment across the enterprise. The first line of defense is comprised of production, operational and support units. The second line of defense is comprised of various risk management and control functions charged with monitoring and managing specific major risk categories and/or risk subcategories. The third line of defense is comprised of the Internal Audit function and Independent Asset Review (“IAR”)., Internal Audit and IAR providereports to the Chief Audit Executive (“CAE”) who reports to the Board’s Audit Committee. Internal Audit provides assurance and evaluateevaluates the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes as established by the Company. Reporting directlyIAR serves as an internal loan review and independent credit risk monitoring function within the Bank that works under the direction of the CAE and reports to the Board’s AuditRisk Oversight Committee Internal Audit maintains organizational independence(“ROC”). IAR provides management and objectivity.the ROC with an objective and independent assessment of the Bank’s credit profile and credit risk management process. Further discussion and analysis of theselected primary risk areas are detaileddiscussed 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,liquidity, 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 IAR function provides additional support to the Company’s strong credit risk management culture by providingperforming 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 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.

Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due or when the full collection of principal or interest becomes uncertain regardless of the length of past due status. Collectability is generally assessed based on economic and business conditions, the borrower’s financial condition, and the adequacy of collateral, if any. For additional details regarding the Company’s nonaccrual loan policy, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Loans Held-for-Investment to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses represents 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.
For 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. For 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 maintainingmaintains 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 March 31, 2023 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 2022 Form 10-K, and Note 7—Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity
Liquidity risk 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 on the Company’s liquidity position relative to policy limits and guidelines to the Board of Directors. The Company’s liquidity management practices have been effective under normal operating and stressed market conditions.
The Company also maintains a Liquidity Contingency Plan to detect early-warning indicators of liquidity problems and provide timely response. The Liquidity Contingency Plan describes the procedures, roles and responsibilities, and communication protocols for managing any identified liquidity problem. Management monitors the early-warning indicators defined in the Liquidity Contingency Plan, which are categorized according to their relevance to liquidity, ratings, market conditions, credit performance, or financial performance. Other indicators can include company specific or systemic events, as well as market speculation, rumors about the Company, or the banking industry in general. When early-warning signals are detected, the ALCO is informed, and the problem is evaluated for severity. The ALCO will determine the course of action and appropriate contingency funding sources, if any, that are needed.
Liquidity Risk — Liquidity Sources. The Company’s primary source of funding is from deposits generated by its banking business, which we believe is a relatively stable and low-cost source of funding. Our loans are funded by deposits, which amounted to $54.74$55.09 billion as of March 31,September 30, 2023, compared with $55.97 billion as of December 31, 2022. The Company’s loan-to-deposit ratio was 89%92% as of March 31,September 30, 2023, compared with 86% as of December 31, 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 newly established 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. However, general financial market and economic conditions could impact our access and cost of external funding. Additionally, the Company’s access to capital markets is affected by the ratings received from various credit rating agencies.
Unencumbered loans and/or debt securities were pledged to the FHLB, 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. 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 its cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity described below provide sufficient liquidity above its expected cash needs.
The Company maintains its source of liquidity in the form of cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity with its eligible loans and debt securities as collateral. The following table presents the Company’s total cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

The Company’s total cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity totaled $30.66$29.53 billion as of March 31,September 30, 2023, compared with $26.52 billion as of December 31, 2022. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily related to an increase in collateral available at the FRBSF and an increase in cash and cash equivalents, which was funded by borrowings from the BTFP duringin the first quarter of 2023. The BTFP wasborrowings were secured by pledged securities.securities and reflected the Company’s conservative liquidity management practices in response to the volatility in the banking industry earlier in the year.
Liquidity Risk — Cash Requirements. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters contractual obligations that require future cash payments, including funding for customer deposit withdrawals, repayments for short- and long-term borrowings, 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. Because 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 September 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 11 — Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows summarizes the Company’s sources and uses of cash by type of activity for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2023 and 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 in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. East West held $243.0$263.2 million and $228.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Management believes that East West has sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet the projected cash obligations for the coming 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 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 earlier in 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 March 31,September 30, 2023, the Company believes it has adequate liquidity resources to conduct operations and meet other needs in the ordinary course of 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 uncertain and rapidly changing market and economic conditions, the Company will continue to actively evaluate the impact on its business and financial position. For more informationdetails on how economic conditions may impact our liquidity, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.
Market Risk Management
Market risk refers to the risk of potential loss due to adverse movements in market risk factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, and credit spreads. The Company is primarily exposed to interest rate risk through its core business activities of extending loans and acquiring deposits. There have been no significant changes in our risk management practices as described in Item 7. MD&A — Market Risk Management in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.
Interest Rate Risk Management
Interest rate risk results primarily fromis the risk that market fluctuations in interest rates can have a negative impact on the Company’s traditional bankingearnings 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 risk 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 same time but by different amounts;
•Short- and long-term market interest rates may change by different amounts. For example, the shape of gathering depositsthe yield curve may affect the yield of new loans and extending loans,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 arecould 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 primary areasfair value of market risk for the Company. other financial instruments.
The ALCO coordinates the overall management of the Company’s interest rate risk, meets regularly to review the Company’s open market positions and establishes policies to monitor and limit exposure to market risk. Interest rate risk management is carried out primarily through strategies involving the Company’s loan portfolio, debt securities portfolio, loan portfolio, available funding channels and capital market activities. In addition, the Company’s policies permit the use of derivative instruments to assist in managing interest rate risk.
InterestWe measure and monitor interest rate risk exposure is measured and monitored through various risk management tools, which include a simulation model that performs interest rate sensitivity analyses under multiple interest rate scenarios against a baseline. The simulation model incorporates the market’s forward rate expectations and the Company’s earning assets and liabilities. The Company uses both a static balance sheet 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”). In addition, the Company also performs simulations using other alternative interest rate scenarios, including various permutations of the yield curve flattening, steepening or inverting. The Company uses the results of these simulations to formulate and gauge strategies to achieve a desired risk profile within its capital and liquidity guidelines.
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. ItThis model also incorporates various assumptions, which management believes to be reasonable but that may have a significant impact on the results. These key assumptions include 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 we derive from a regression analysis of the Company’s historical deposit data.
Simulation results are highly dependent on modeled behaviors and input assumptions. To the extent thethat actual behavior isbehaviors are different from the assumptions used in the models, there could be material changes into the interest rate sensitivity results. The key behavioral models impacting interest rate sensitivity simulations include deposit repricing, deposit balance forecasts, and mortgage prepayments. These models and assumptions applied in the model are documented, supported, and periodically back-tested to assess the reasonableness and effectiveness. ForThe Company also regularly monitors the sensitivity of the other important modeling assumptions, such as loan and security prepayments and early withdrawal on fixed-rate customer liabilities. The Company makes appropriate calibrations to the model as needed and continually validates the model, methodology and results. Changes to key model assumptions are reviewed by the ALCO. Scenario results do not reflect strategies that the management could employ to limit the impact of changing interest rate expectations. The simulation does not represent a more detailed discussionforecast of the Company’s net interest income simulation model, referbut is a tool utilized to assess the risk of the impact of changing market interest rates across a range of interest rate environments.
Item 7. MD&A — Market Risk Management
The Company employs a variety of quantitative and qualitative approaches to capture historical deposit repricing and balance behaviors. These historical observations are performed at a granular level based on key product characteristics, including distinctions for brokered, public, and large commercial deposits, which are then combined with forward-looking market expectations and the competitive landscape to generate the deposit repricing and balance forecasting models. The Company uses these deposit repricing models to forecast deposit interest expense. The repricing models provide sufficient granularity to reflect key behavioral differences across product and customer types. The deposit beta is a key parameter of the deposit rate forecast. The deposit beta defines the sensitivity of deposit rates to changes in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.Effective Fed Funds Rate (“EFFR”).
The Federal Reserve continuedCompany recalibrated its aggressive responsedeposit repricing models and betas in December 2022, and qualitatively increased the long run (through the cycle) betas in March, June, and September of 2023 to inflation by incrementally raising the target range for thebetter reflect increased competition and higher terminal fed funds rate torates than previously observed in the historical data. Overall, the Company observed a rangeweighted average increase of 4.75% to 5.00%the deposit beta for total deposits of approximately 5% in March 2023 from the 2022 year-end range(taking total deposit beta to 39% as of 4.25%March 31, 2023), an additional 5% in June 2023 (taking total deposit beta to 4.50%. On May 3, 2023 the Federal Reserve raised the target rate range to 5.00% to 5.25%. However, increased uncertainty regarding a potential recession has also led to the expectation44% as of rate cuts potentially startingJune 30, 2023), and an additional 2% in September 2023.2023 (taking total deposit beta to 46% as of September 30, 2023). These increases reflected the Company’s forward-looking views of deposit rates given the expected EFFR at the time. The Company also modified deposit balance runoff models in December 2022, to better capture behavioral differences across product and customer types and carved out stable and non-stable balances to reflect the volatility and interest rate sensitivity of such deposit balances. The assumptions used for the identification of stable balances were updated in June and September 2023 to reflect a larger portion of potential non-stable balances.
Additionally, to reflect changes in interest expense due to the shift from noninterest-bearing to interest-bearing accounts in the deposit mix, the Company utilized a qualitative assumption in March 2023. This assumption considered the amount of surplus noninterest-bearing deposits assumed to be rate sensitive and migrated them to interest-bearing deposits. This assumption was included in the net interest income volatility simulations to reflect more realistic net interest income volatility in rising rate scenarios. The qualitative assumption was enhanced in June 2023 with a more robust quantitative approach. This updated approach incorporated internally observed historical data reflecting the evolution of noninterest-bearing deposits as a percent of total deposits, based on the historical behavior observed during the prior rising interest rate cycle. The assumption forecasts that a portion of noninterest-bearing deposits would migrate to interest-bearing certificates of deposits as the 12-month moving average of the overnight indexed swap rate increases.
In the net interest income simulations, the Company also makes assumptions on the yield related to the re-investment of investment securities and the yields on new loan originations. These assumptions are updated quarterly to reflect recent market conditions as well as forward-looking expectations. In March 2023, loans and deposits with cash flows indexed to China related benchmark interest rates were removed from the interest rate scenario shocks, which reduced net interest income sensitivity by approximately 0.4%.
As loan and security prepayment assumptions are key components of the Company’s model, the Company incorporates third-party vendor models to forecast prepayment behavior on mortgage loans and securities which have mortgage loans as underlying collateral. These third-party vendor models have access to more comprehensive industry-level data which can capture specific borrower and collateral characteristics over a variety of interest rate cycles. The Company will periodically assess and adjust the vendor models when appropriate to include its own available observations and expectations. In March 2023, the Company updated its version of the asset liability management simulation tool and vendor prepayment model. This change updated the calibration of the vendor model to better fit recent data and better supported the transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) indexed loans. Overall, the update had minimal impact on forecasted prepayments. During the third quarter 2023, the Company updated the vendor prepayment model tuning factors to slow down prepayment speeds on single-family residential mortgages so that it better aligned with actual and expected prepayments.
During the third quarter 2023, the Company replaced the U.S. dollar (“USD”) LIBOR Swap curve and rates with the respective SOFR Swap and SOFR reference rates. This change had a minimal impact on the overall results of net interest income and economic value of equity (“EVE”) simulations as the overall yields and discount rates were not impacted.
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 rate 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 following table presents the Company’s net interest income sensitivity related to an instantaneous and sustained non-parallel shift in market interest rates by 100 and 200 bps as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, based on a static balance sheet as ofassuming flat forward rates and flat loan and deposit growth on the date of analysis. The non-parallel shift scenarios were calibrated internally based on historical analysis. As of December 31, 2022, the analysis.up 100 and 200 bps scenarios reflected parallel shifts due to the significant inversion of the yield curve while the down 100 and 200 bps scenarios reflected a bull steepening yield curve.

(1)The percentage change represents net interest income change over a 12-month period in a stable interest rate environment versus in the various interest rate scenarios.
The composition of the Company’s loan portfolio creates sensitivity to interest rate movements due to a mismatch of repricing behavior between the floating-rate loan portfolio and deposit products. In the table above, net interest income volatility expressed in relation to base-case net interest income decreased quarteras of September 30, 2023. This decrease -over-quarter primarily as a result of changes inreflected updates to the Company’s balance sheet composition.deposit repricing assumptions and deposit product mix. Noninterest-bearing deposit account balances are assumed to be sensitive to interest rate levels and migrate to interest-bearing deposit accounts.
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.

As of March 31,September 30, 2023, the Company’s net interest income profile reflects an asset sensitive position.position, where assets reprice faster or more significantly than liabilities. Net interest income is expected to increase when interest rates rise as the Company has a large population of variable rate loans, primarily linkedtied to Prime LIBOR, and Term SOFR indices. The Company’s interest income is sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates. As of March 31,September 30, 2023, the Company designated interest rate contracts with a notional amount of $3.25$4.75 billion as cash flow hedges,. The modeled results incorporated an additional $1.00 billion of interest rate contracts that were designated as cash flow hedges during April 2023. The increase in the total notional amount of cash flow hedges to $4.25 billion which reduced net interest income volatility by approximately 1.5%2.73% of the base net interest income for every 100 bps change in interest rates. 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 deposit durations, beta, deposit mixmodeled behavior and other behavioral assumptions, which were derived using a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches.assumptions. Actual net interest income results may deviate from the model results in terms ofmodel’s net interest income due 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”)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.bank’s assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates.
The economic value approach provides a comparatively broader scope than the net interest income volatility approach since it represents the discounted present value of cash flows over the expected life of the instruments. Due to this longer horizon, EVE is useful to identify risks arising from repricing, prepayment and maturity gaps between assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, as well as from off-balance sheet derivative exposure,exposures, over their lifetime. This long-term economic perspective into the Company’s interest rate risk profile allows the Company to identify anticipated negative effects of interest rate fluctuations. However, the difference in time horizons can cause the EVE analysis to diverge from the shorter termshorter-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.
The following table presents the Company’s EVE sensitivity related to an instantaneous non-parallel shift in market interest rates by 100 and 200 bps as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:2022. The non-parallel shift scenarios were calibrated internally based on historical analysis. As of December 31, 2022, the up 100 and 200 bps scenarios reflect parallel shifts due to the significant inversion of the yield curve while the down 100 and 200 bps scenarios reflect a bull steepening of the yield curve.

(1)The percentage change represents net portfolio value change of the Company in a stable interest rate environment versus in the various interest rate scenarios.
As of March 31,September 30, 2023, the Company’s EVE profile reflects a liability sensitive position as the Company’s EVE is expected to decrease when interest rates rise. The change in EVE sensitivity decreased quarter-over-quarter primarilywas due to increases inshorter deposit durations as a result of deposit modeling assumptions, slower prepayments on fixed-rate short-term borrowingsmortgages and mortgage-backed securities, and additional cash and cash equivalents.flow hedges to reduce net interest income volatility.
Derivatives
It is the Company’s policy not to speculate on the future direction of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. However, the Company periodically enters into derivative transactions in order to manage its exposure to market risk, primarily interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The Company believes 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 payments received on certain floating-rate commercial loans and interest payments 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. dollarUSD equivalent value of a designated monetary amount of the Company’s net investment in East West Bank (China) Limited. Prior to entering into any accounting 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 commodity prices. To economically hedge against the derivative contracts entered into with the Company’s customers, the Company enters into offsetting derivative contracts with third-party financial 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 between the Company and counterparty financial institutions. The changes in fair valuesvalue changes of the derivative contracts traded with third-party financial institutions are expected to be largely comparable to the changes in fair valuesvalue changes 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 risk and the Company has guidelines in place to manage counterparty concentration, tenor limits, and collateral. The Company manages the credit risk of its derivative positions by diversifying its positions among various counterparties, by entering into legally enforceable master netting agreements, and by requiring collateral arrangements, where possible. The Company may also transfer counterparty credit risk related to interest rate swaps to institutional third-parties through the use of credit risk participation agreements. Certain derivative contracts are required to be cleared through central clearinghouses, to further mitigate counterparty credit risk, where variation margin is applied daily as settlement to the fair value of the derivative contracts. In addition, the Company incorporates credit value adjustments and other market standard methodologies to appropriately reflect the counterparty’s and itsthe Company’s own nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement of its derivatives. As of March 31,September 30, 2023, the Company anticipates performance by its counterparties and has not incurred any related credit losses.
The following table summarizes certain information on derivative instruments designated as accounting hedges and utilized by the Company in its management of interest rate and foreign currency risk as of March 31,September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Additional information on the Company’s derivatives is presented in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K, Note 3 — Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments, and Note 6 — Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K. Certain of these policies include critical accounting estimates, which are subject to valuation assumptions, subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain, and it is likely that materially different amounts could be reported under different assumptions and conditions. The Company has procedures and processes in place to facilitate making these judgments. The following accounting policies are critical to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements:
•allowance for credit losses;
•fair value estimates;
•goodwill impairment; and
•income taxes.
For additional information on the Company’s critical accounting estimates involving significant judgments, see Item 7. MD&A — Critical Accounting Estimates in the Company’s 2022 Form 10-K.
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. The non-GAAP financial measures 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 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.
The following tables present the reconciliations of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for the periods presented:

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
See Note 11 — 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 2022 Form 10-K contains disclosure regarding the risks and uncertainties related to the Company’s business under the heading Item 1A. Risk Factors. There have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors as presented in the Company’s 2022 Form 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, and Signature Bank, in March 2023 and of First Republic Bank in Maythe first half of 2023 have 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 lower levelsoutflows 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 mayis expected to lead to further increases inspecial assessments by the FDIC premiums or additional special assessments.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, orand 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 recentbank failures in the first half of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic Bank2023 appears to have been the proportion of the deposits held by each institution that exceeded applicable FDIC insurance limits. In response to these failures, many large depositors have withdrawnlimits, and the withdrawal of such deposits in excessover a short period of FDIC insurance limits in order to diversify their risk.time. The ease and speed of the electronic withdrawals may accelerate this process. 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 aton 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, both of which we are currently experiencing.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, after-tax proceeds resultingour ability to cover liquidity needs from the sale or pledging of such assetsthese securities may not be sufficient to recover the full amountnegatively impacted during periods of our exposure.elevated interest rates. Under these circumstances, we may be required to access funding from sources such as the Federal Reserve’s discount window or additional funding from its recently established Bank Term Funding Program, from which we borrowed $4.50 billion during the first quarter of 2023,other sources in order to manage our liquidity risk. See Note 10— Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional information related to the Company’s borrowings from the BTFP.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
There were no unregistered salesUnregistered Issuances of Equity Securities
On July 3, 2023, the Company acquired a 49.99% equity securities or repurchase activitiesinterest in Rayliant Global Advisors Limited (“Rayliant”). As consideration for this purchase, the Company paid $94.7 million in cash and granted 349,138 (target) performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) to the sellers of the Rayliant shares, each of whom was an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
