In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Regions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. Regions has evaluated all subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the filing date of this Form 10-Q.

The number of individual debt positions in an unrealized loss position in the tables above increaseddecreased from 1,0591,379 at December 31, 20172018 to 1,4481,172 at June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The increasedecrease in the number of securities and the total amount of unrealized losses from year-end 20172018 was primarily due to changes in market interest rates. In instances where an unrealized loss existed, there was no indication of an adverse change in credit on the underlying positions in the tables above. As it relates to these positions, management believes no individual unrealized loss, other than those discussed below, represented an OTTI as of those dates. The Company does not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the positions before the recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity.
As part of the Company's normal process for evaluating OTTI, management did identify a limited number of positions where an OTTI was believed to exist as of June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.

EQUITY INVESTMENTS
Effective January 1, 2018, Regions adopted new accounting guidance that requires equity investments to be recorded at fair value with changes in fair value reported in net income. Regions elected a measurement alternative to fair value for certain equity investments without a readily determinable fair value. See Note 15 for related disclosure.
Marketable equity securities carried at fair value, which primarily consist of assets held for certain employee benefits and money market funds, are reported in other earning assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Total marketable equity securities were $423 million and $414 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Unrealized holding gains and losses for marketable equity securities were immaterial at June 30, 2018.

PORTFOLIO SEGMENT RISK FACTORS
The following describe the risk characteristics relevant to each of the portfolio segments.
Commercial—The commercial portfolio segment includes commercial and industrial loans to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases or other expansion projects. Commercial also includes owner-occupied commercial real estate mortgage loans to operating businesses, which are loans for long-term financing of land and buildings, and are repaid by cash flow generated by business operations. Owner-occupied construction loans

Table of Contents


are made to commercial businesses for the development of land or construction of a building where the repayment is derived from revenues generated from the business of the borrower. Collection risk in this portfolio is driven by the creditworthiness of underlying borrowers, particularly cash flow from customers’ business operations, and the sensitivity to market fluctuations in commodity prices.
Investor Real Estate—Loans for real estate development are repaid through cash flow related to the operation, sale or refinance of the property. This portfolio segment includes extensions of credit to real estate developers or investors where repayment is dependent on the sale of real estate or income generated from the real estate collateral. A portion of Regions’ investor real estate portfolio segment consists of loans secured by residential product types (land, single-family and condominium loans) within Regions’ markets. Additionally, these loans are made to finance income-producing properties such as apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, and retail shopping centers. Loans in this portfolio segment are particularly sensitive to the valuation of real estate.
Consumer—The consumer portfolio segment includes residential first mortgage, home equity, indirect-vehicles, indirect-other consumer, consumer credit card, and other consumer loans. Residential first mortgage loans represent loans to consumers to finance a residence. These loans are typically financed over a 15 to 30 year term and, in most cases, are extended to borrowers to finance their primary residence. Home equity lending includes both home equity loans and lines of credit. This type of lending, which is secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s residence, allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home. Real estate market values as of the time the loan or line is secured directly affect the amount of credit extended and, in addition, changes in these values impact the depth of potential losses. Indirect-vehicles lending, which is lending initiated through third-party business partners, largely consists of loans made through automotive dealerships. Indirect-other consumer lending represents other point of sale lending through third parties. Consumer credit card lending includes Regions branded consumer credit card accounts. Other consumer loans include other revolving consumer accounts, direct consumer loans, and overdrafts. Loans in this portfolio segment are sensitive to unemployment and other key consumer economic measures.

CREDIT QUALITY INDICATORS
The following tables present credit quality indicators for portfolio segments and classes, excluding loans held for sale, as of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, and December 31, 2017.2018. Commercial and investor real estate portfolio segments are detailed by categories related to underlying credit quality and probability of default. Regions assigns these categories at loan origination and reviews the relationship utilizing a risk-based approach on, at minimum, an annual basis or at any time management becomes aware of information affecting the borrowers' ability to fulfill their obligations. Both quantitative and qualitative factors are considered in this review process. These categories are utilized to develop the associated allowance for credit losses.
Pass—includes obligations where the probability of default is considered low;
Special Mention—includes obligations that have potential weakness that may, if not reversed or corrected, weaken the credit or inadequately protect the Company’s position at some future date. Obligations in this category may also be subject to economic or market conditions that may, in the future, have an adverse effect on debt service ability;
Substandard Accrual—includes obligations that exhibit a well-defined weakness that presently jeopardizes debt repayment, even though they are currently performing. These obligations are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company may incur a loss in the future if these weaknesses are not corrected;
Non-accrual—includes obligations where management has determined that full payment of principal and interest is in doubt.
Substandard accrual and non-accrual loans are often collectively referred to as “classified.” Special mention, substandard accrual, and non-accrual loans are often collectively referred to as “criticized and classified.” Classes in the consumer portfolio segment are disaggregated by accrual status.

(1) "Economic amortization associated with borrower repayments" includes both total loan payoffs as well as partial paydowns.

On April 28, 2017,March 27, 2019, the Company purchasedsold $167 million of affordable housing residential mortgage loans and as part of the transaction kept the rights to service the loans, which resulted in a retained residential MSR of approximately $2.7 billion in residential mortgage loans for approximately $30 million.

On July 31, 2018, the Company purchased the rights to service approximately $3.4 billion in residential mortgage loans for approximately $42$2 million.

Data and assumptions used in the fair value calculation, as well as the valuation’s sensitivity to rate fluctuations, related to residential MSRs (excluding related derivative instruments) are as follows:

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. Changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the residential MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption, while in reality changes in one

Residential mortgage loans are sold in the secondary market with standard representations and warranties regarding certain characteristics such as the quality of the loan, the absence of fraud, the eligibility of the loan for sale and the future servicing associated with the loan. Regions may be required to repurchase these loans at par, or make-whole or indemnify the purchasers for losses incurred when representations and warranties are breached.
Regions maintains an immaterial repurchase liability related to residential mortgage loans sold with representations and warranty provisions. This repurchase liability is reported in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and reflects management’s estimate of losses based on historical repurchase and loss trends, as well as other factors that may result in anticipated losses different from historical loss trends. Adjustments to this reserve are recorded in other non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.
COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES
Regions is an approved DUS lender. The DUS program provides liquidity to the multi-family housing market. In connection with the DUS program, Regions services commercial mortgage loans, retains commercial MSRs and intangible assets associated with the DUS license, and assumes a loss share guarantee associated with the loans. See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. Also see Note 13 herein12 for additional information related to the guarantee.
As of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the DUS servicing portfolio was approximately $3.0 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively.$3.6 billion. The related commercial MSRs were valued at approximately $50$55 million and $48$56 million at June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively. The estimated fair value of the loss share guarantee was valued at approximately $4 million at both June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017.2018.

NOTE 6. GOODWILL5. LEASES
Goodwill allocatedLESSEE
Regions' lease portfolio is primarily composed of property leases that are classified as either operating or finance leases with the majority classified as operating leases. Property leases, which primarily include office locations and retail branches, typically have original lease terms ranging from 1 year to each reportable segment (each20 years, some of which may also include an option to extend the lease beyond the original lease term. In some circumstances, Regions may also have an option to terminate the lease early with advance notice. Regions includes renewal and termination options within the lease term if deemed reasonably certain of exercise. As most leases do not state an implicit rate, Regions utilizes the incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. Leases with a reporting unit)term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet, and Regions continues to recognize lease payments as an expense over the lease term as appropriate. The remainder of the lease portfolio is presented as follows:comprised of equipment leases that have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 3 years.
As of March 31, 2019, assets and liabilities recorded under operating leases for properties is $430 million and $511 million, respectively. The difference between the asset and liability balance is largely the result of lease liabilities that existed prior to the January 1, 2019 adoption of the new accounting guidance for leases. The asset is recorded within other assets and the lease liability is recorded within other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

LESSOR
Regions evaluates each reporting unit’s goodwillengages in both direct financing and sales-type leasing. Regions also has portfolios of leveraged and operating leases. These arrangements provide equipment financing for impairmentleased assets, such as vehicles and aircraft. At the commencement date, Regions (lessor) enters into an agreement with the customer (lessee) to lease the underlying equipment for a specified lease term. The lease agreements may provide customers the option to terminate the lease by buying the equipment at fair market value at the time of termination or at the end of the lease term. Regions' equipment finance asset management group performs due diligence procedures on the lease residual and overall equipment values as part of the origination process. Regions performs lease residual value reviews on an annual basisongoing basis.. In order to manage the residual value risk inherent in the fourth quarter, or more often if events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fairsome of its direct financing leases, Regions purchases residual value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.

The following table presents the second quarter of 2018, Regions assessed eventsminimum future payments due from customers for sales-type, direct financing, and circumstances for all three reporting units as of June 30, 2018, and through the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that could potentially indicate goodwill impairment. The indicators assessed included:operating leases:
Recent operating performance,
Changes in market capitalization,
Regulatory actions and assessments,
Changes in the business climate (including legislation, legal factors, and competition),
Company-specific factors (including changes in key personnel, asset impairments, and business dispositions), and
Trends in the banking industry.
After assessing the indicators noted above, Regions determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of each of its reporting units had declined below their carrying value as of June 30, 2018. Therefore, Regions determined that a test of goodwill impairment was not required for each of Regions’ reporting units for the June 30, 2018 interim period.

On June 28, 2018, Regions received no objection from the Federal Reserve to its 2018 capital plan that was submitted as part of the CCAR process, which included the repurchase of common shares and a common stock dividend increase. As part of the Company's capital plan, the Board authorized a new $2.031 billion common stock repurchase plan, permitting repurchases from the beginning of the third quarter of 2018 through the second quarter of 2019. This plan is inclusive of the capital generated from the sale of Regions Insurance Group, Inc. and related affiliates during the third quarter of 2018 (see Note 2)3 "Discontinued Operations" of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for more information).

HEDGING DERIVATIVES
Derivatives entered into to manage interest rate risk and facilitate asset/liability management strategies are designated as hedging derivatives. Derivative financial instruments that qualify in a hedging relationship are classified, based on the exposure being hedged, as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. See Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, for additional information regarding accounting policies for derivatives.
FAIR VALUE HEDGES
Fair value hedge relationships mitigate exposure to the change in fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment.
Regions enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate exposure on the Company’s fixed-rate borrowings. These agreements involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts in exchange for floating-rate interest payments over the life of the agreements. Regions enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate exposure on certain of the Company's fixed-rate available for sale debt securities. These agreements involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts in exchange for floating-rate interest receipts.
CASH FLOW HEDGES
Cash flow hedge relationships mitigate exposure to the variability of future cash flows or other forecasted transactions.
Regions enters into interest rate swap and floor agreements to manage overall cash flow changes related to interest rate risk exposure on LIBOR-based loans. The agreements effectively modify the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk by utilizing receive fixed/pay LIBOR interest rate swaps.swaps and interest rate floors.
Regions recognized an unrealized after-tax gain of $12547 million and $140$136 million in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively, related to terminateddiscontinued cash flow hedges of loan instruments, which will be

of $5 million and $18$15 million during the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively, and pre-tax income of $29 million and $37 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively related to the amortization of discontinued cash flow hedges of loan instruments.
Regions expects to reclassify out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and into earnings approximately $16$31 million in pre-tax expense due to the receipt or payment of interest payments on all cash flow hedges within the next twelve months. Included in this amount is $46$9 million in pre-tax net incomegains related to the amortization of discontinued cash flow hedges. The maximum length of time over which Regions is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is approximately seven years as of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, and a portion of these hedges are forward starting.

DERIVATIVES NOT DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
The Company holds a portfolio of interest rate swaps, option contracts, and futures and forward commitments that result from transactions with its commercial customers in which they manage their risks by entering into a derivative with Regions. The Company monitors and manages the net risk in this customer portfolio and enters into separate derivative contracts in order to

40


Table of Contents


reduce the overall exposure to pre-defined limits. For both derivatives with its end customers and derivatives Regions enters into to mitigate the risk in this portfolio, the Company is subject to market risk and the risk that the counterparty will default. The contracts in this portfolio are not designated as accounting hedges and are marked-to market through earnings (in capital markets fee income and other) and included in other assets and other liabilities, as appropriate.
Regions enters into interest rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. At June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, Regions had $338$320 million and $197$191 million, respectively, in total notional amount of interest rate lock commitments. Regions manages market risk on interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held for sale with corresponding forward sale commitments. Residential mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in mortgage income. Commercial mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at either the lower of cost or market or at fair value based on management's election. At June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, Regions had $692$539 million and $481$429 million, respectively, in total notional amounts related to these forward sale commitments. Changes in mark-to-market from both interest rate lock commitments and corresponding forward sale commitments related to residential mortgage loans are included in mortgage income. Changes in mark-to-market from both interest rate lock commitments and corresponding forward sale commitments related to commercial mortgage loans are included in capital markets fee income and other.
Regions has elected to account for residential MSRs at fair value with any changes to fair value being recorded within mortgage income. Concurrent with the election to use the fair value measurement method, Regions began using various derivative instruments, in the form of forward rate commitments, futures contracts, swaps and swaptions to mitigate the effect of changes in the fair value of its residential MSRs in its consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the total notional amount related to these contracts was $5.3$4.0 billion and $4.8$5.7 billion, respectively.
The following table presents the location and amount of gain or (loss) recognized in income on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments in the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 2017:2018:

Credit risk, defined as all positive exposures not collateralized with cash or other assets or reserved for, at June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, totaled approximately $111$178 million and $251$130 million, respectively. These amounts represent the net credit risk on all trading and other derivative positions held by Regions.
CREDIT DERIVATIVES
Regions has both bought and sold credit protection in the form of participations on interest rate swaps (swap participations). These swap participations, which meet the definition of credit derivatives, were entered into in the ordinary course of business to serve the credit needs of customers. Swap participations, whereby Regions has purchased credit protection, entitle Regions to receive a payment from the counterparty if the customer fails to make payment on any amounts due to Regions upon early termination of the swap transaction and have maturities between 20182019 and 2026. Swap participations, whereby Regions has sold credit protection have maturities between 20182019 and 2038. For contracts where Regions sold credit protection, Regions would be required to make payment to the counterparty if the customer fails to make payment on any amounts due to the counterparty upon early termination of the swap transaction. Regions bases the current status of the prepayment/performance risk on bought and sold credit derivatives on recently issued internal risk ratings consistent with the risk management practices of unfunded commitments.
Regions’ maximum potential amount of future payments under these contracts as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was approximately $2.7 billion.$563 million. This scenario would only occur if variable interest rates were at zero percent and all counterparties defaulted with zero recovery. The fair value of sold protection at June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 and 2017 was immaterial. In transactions where Regions has sold credit protection, recourse to collateral associated with the original swap transaction is available to offset some or all of Regions’ obligation.

Table of Contents


Regions has bought credit protection in the form of credit default indices. These indices, which meet the definition of credit derivatives, were entered into in the ordinary course of business to economically hedge credit spread risk in commercial mortgage loans held for sale whereby the fair value option has been elected. Credit derivatives, whereby Regions has purchased credit protection, entitle Regions to receive a payment from the counterparty if losses on the underlying index exceed a certain threshold, dependent upon the tranche rating of the capital structure.
CONTINGENT FEATURES
Certain of Regions’ derivative instrument contracts with broker-dealers contain credit-related termination provisions and/or credit-related provisions regarding the posting of collateral, allowing those broker-dealers to terminate the contracts in the event that Regions’ and/or Regions Bank’s credit ratings falls below specified ratings from certain major credit rating agencies. The aggregate fair values of all derivative instruments with any credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, were $71$50 million and $91$45 million, respectively, for which Regions had posted collateral of $71$49 million and $90$43 million, respectively, in the normal course of business.

NOTE 11.10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
See Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 for a description of valuation methodologies for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value rarely transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. There were no such transfers during the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Marketable equity securities and debt securities available for sale may be periodically transferred to or from Level 3 valuation based on management’s conclusion regarding the observability of inputs used in valuing the securities. Such transfers are accounted for as if they occur at the beginning of a reporting period.
The following table presents assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis and non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017:2018:

(1)All following disclosures related to Level 3 recurring and non-recurring assets do not include those deemed to be immaterial.
(2)Marketable equity securities were reclassified from trading account securities and securities available for sale to other earning assets, beginning in the first quarter of 2018, with the adoption of new accounting guidance. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Table of Contents


(3)With the adoption of new accounting guidance, effective January 1, 2018, equity investments without a readily determinable fair value are required to be adjusted prospectively to estimated fair value when an observable price transaction for a same or similar investment with the same issuer occurs.
Assets and liabilities in all levels could result in volatile and material price fluctuations. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 assets represent only a portion of the risk to market fluctuations in Regions’ consolidated balance sheets. Further, derivatives included in Levels 2 and 3 are used by ALCO in a holistic approach to managing price fluctuation risks.

RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS USING SIGNIFICANT UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS
Residential mortgage servicing rights
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of residential MSRs are OAS and CPR. This valuation requires generating cash flow projections over multiple interest rate scenarios and discounting those cash flows at a risk-adjusted rate. Additionally, the impact of prepayments and changes in the OAS are based on a variety of underlying inputs including servicing costs. Increases or decreases to the underlying cash flow inputs will have a corresponding impact on the value of the MSR asset. The net change in unrealized gains (losses) included in earnings related to MSRs held at period end are disclosed as the changes in valuation inputs or assumptions included in the MSR rollforward table in Note 5.4. See Note 54 for these amounts and additional disclosures related to assumptions used in the fair value calculation for MSRs.
FAIR VALUE OPTION
Regions has elected the fair value option for all FNMA and FHLMC eligible residential mortgage loans and certain commercial mortgage loans originated with the intent to sell. These elections allow for a more effective offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting. Regions has not elected the fair value option for other loans held for sale primarily because they are not economically hedged using derivative instruments. Fair values of residential mortgage loans held for sale are based on traded market prices of similar assets where available and/or discounted cash flows at market interest rates, adjusted for securitization activities that include servicing values and market conditions, and are recorded in loans held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets. Fair values of commercial mortgage loans held for sale are based on traded market prices for comparable commercial mortgage-backed securitizations, into which the loans will be placed, adjusted for movements of interest rates and credit spreads.
The Company also elected to measure certain commercial and industrial loans held for sale at fair value, as these loans are actively traded in the secondary market. The Company is able to obtain fair value estimates for substantially all of these loans through a third party valuation service that is broadly used by market participants. While most of the loans are traded in the market, the volume and level of trading activity is subject to variability and the loans are not exchange-traded. Therefore, these loans have been classified as Level 2.
The following table summarizes the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance for mortgage loans held for sale measured at fair value:

Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is recognized based on contractual rates and is reflected in interest income on loans held for sale in the consolidated statements of income. The following table details net gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value of these loans, which were recorded in mortgage income in the consolidated statements of income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 2017.2018. These changes in fair value are mostly offset by economic hedging activities. An immaterial portion of these amounts was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.

(1)Estimated fair values are consistent with an exit price concept. The assumptions used to estimate the fair values are intended to approximate those that a market participant would use in a hypothetical orderly transaction. In estimating fair value, the Company maintains a corporate governance program to makemakes adjustments for estimated changes in interest rates, market liquidity and credit spreads in the periods they are deemed to have occurred.
(2)The estimated fair value of portfolio loans assumes sale of the loans to a third-party financial investor. Accordingly, the value to the Company if the loans were held to maturity is not reflected in the fair value estimate. In the current whole loan market, financial investors are generally requiring a higher rate of return than the return inherent in loans if held to maturity. The fair value discount on the loan portfolio's net carrying amount at June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was $1.3 billion$771 million or 1.60.9 percent.
(3)Excluded from this table is the capital lease carrying amount of $1.1$1.2 billion at June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.

(2)The estimated fair value of portfolio loans assumes sale of the loans to a third-party financial investor. Accordingly, the value to the Company if the loans were held to maturity is not reflected in the fair value estimate. In the current whole loan market, financial investors are generally requiring a higher rate of return than the return inherent in loans if held to maturity. The fair value discount on the loan portfolio's net carrying amount at December 31, 20172018 was $1.1$1.7 billion or 1.42.1 percent.
(3)Excluded from this table is the capital lease carrying amount of $1.1 billion at December 31, 2017.2018.
(4)
Excluded from this table is the operating lease carrying amount of $489369 million at December 31, 2017.2018.

NOTE 12.11. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
Each of Regions’ reportable segments is a strategic business unit that serves specific needs of Regions’ customers based on the products and services provided. The segments are based on the manner in which management views the financial performance of the business. The Company has three reportable segments: Corporate Bank, Consumer Bank, and Wealth Management, with the remainder split between Discontinued Operations and Other. Additional information about the Company's reportable segments is included in Regions' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.
The application and development of management reporting methodologies is a dynamic process and is subject to periodic enhancements. As these enhancements are made, financial results presented by each reportable segment may be periodically revised.
Discontinued operations includes all brokerage and investment activities associated with the sale of Morgan Keegan which closed on April 2, 2012, as well as the pending sale of Regions Insurance Group, Inc. and related affiliates, which closed on July 2, 2018. See Note 23 "Discontinued Operations" to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for relatedthe year ended December 31, 2018 for further discussion.

NOTE 13.12. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES
COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS
Regions issues off-balance sheet financial instruments in connection with lending activities. The credit risk associated with these instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and is subject to Regions’ normal credit approval policies and procedures. Regions measures inherent risk associated with these instruments by recording a reserve for unfunded commitments based on an assessment of the likelihood that the guarantee will be funded and the creditworthiness of the customer or counterparty. Collateral is obtained based on management’s assessment of the creditworthiness of the customer.
Credit risk associated with these instruments is represented by the contractual amounts indicated in the following table:

Unused commitments to extend credit—To accommodate the financial needs of its customers, Regions makes commitments under various terms to lend funds to consumers, businesses and other entities. These commitments include (among others) credit

Table of Contents


card and other revolving credit agreements, term loan commitments and short-term borrowing agreements. Many of these loan commitments have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being funded, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.
Standby letters of credit—Standby letters of credit are also issued to customers, which commit Regions to make payments on behalf of customers if certain specified future events occur. Regions has recourse against the customer for any amount required to be paid to a third party under a standby letter of credit. Historically, a large percentage of standby letters of credit expire without being funded. The contractual amount of standby letters of credit represents the maximum potential amount of future payments Regions could be required to make and represents Regions’ maximum credit risk.
Commercial letters of credit—Commercial letters of credit are issued to facilitate foreign or domestic trade transactions for customers. As a general rule, drafts will be drawn when the goods underlying the transaction are in transit.
LEGAL CONTINGENCIES
Regions and its subsidiaries are subject to loss contingencies related to litigation, claims, investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Regions evaluates these contingencies based on information currently available, including advice of counsel. Regions establishes accruals for those matters when a loss contingency is considered probable and the related amount is reasonably estimable. Any accruals are periodically reviewed and may be adjusted

50


Table of Contents


as circumstances change. Some of Regions' exposure with respect to loss contingencies may be offset by applicable insurance coverage. In determining the amounts of any accruals or estimates of possible loss contingencies however, Regions does not take into account the availability of insurance coverage. To the extent that Regions has an insurance recovery, the proceeds are recorded in the period the recovery is received.
In addition, Regions has agreed to indemnify Raymond James for all legal matters resulting from pre-closing activities in conjunction with the sale of Morgan Keegan and recorded an indemnification obligation at fair value in the second quarter of 2012.
When it is practicable, Regions estimates possible loss contingencies, whether or not there is an accrued probable loss. When Regions is able to estimate such possible losses, and when it is reasonably possible Regions could incur losses in excess of amounts accrued, Regions discloses the aggregate estimation of such possible losses. Regions currently estimates that it is reasonably possible that it may experience losses in excess of what Regions has accrued in an aggregate amount of up to approximately $20 million as of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, with it also being reasonably possible that Regions could incur no losses in excess of amounts accrued. However, as available information changes, the matters for which Regions is able to estimate, as well as the estimates themselves will be adjusted accordingly. The reasonably possible estimate includes legal contingencies that are subject to the indemnification agreement with Raymond James.
Assessments of litigation and claims exposure are difficult because they involve inherently unpredictable factors including, but not limited to, the following: whether the proceeding is in the early stages; whether damages are unspecified, unsupported, or uncertain; whether there is a potential for punitive or other pecuniary damages; whether the matter involves legal uncertainties, including novel issues of law; whether the matter involves multiple parties and/or jurisdictions; whether discovery has begun or is not complete; whether meaningful settlement discussions have commenced; and whether the lawsuit involves class allegations. Assessments of class action litigation, which is generally more complex than other types of litigation, are particularly difficult, especially in the early stages of the proceeding when it is not known whether a class will be certified or how a potential class, if certified, will be defined. As a result, Regions may be unable to estimate reasonably possible losses with respect to some of the matters disclosed below, and the aggregated estimated amount discussed above may not include an estimate for every matter disclosed below.
In July 2006, Morgan Keegan and a former Morgan Keegan analyst were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed by a Canadian insurance and financial services company and its American subsidiary in the Circuit Court of Morris County, New Jersey. Plaintiffs alleged civil claims under the RICO Act and claims for commercial disparagement, tortious interference with contractual relationships, tortious interference with prospective economic advantage and common law conspiracy. Plaintiffs allege that defendants engaged in a multi-year conspiracy to publish and disseminate false and defamatory information about plaintiffs to improperly drive down plaintiffs’ stock price, so that others could profit from short positions. Plaintiffs allege that defendants’ actions damaged their reputations and harmed their business relationships. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages for a number of categories of alleged damages, including lost insurance business, lost financings and increased financing costs, increased audit fees and directors and officers insurance premiums and lost acquisitions. In September 2012, the trial court dismissed the case with prejudice. Plaintiffs filed an appeal, and in April 2017, the appellate court affirmed the dismissal of the plaintiffs’ claims under the RICO Act. The appellate court reversed the trial court’s dismissal of the commercial disparagement and tortious interference claims and remanded those claims but limited the plaintiffs’ damages. Plaintiffs filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of New Jersey in May 2017, and in October 2017, that court denied the plaintiffs' petition and remanded the case to the trial court. The trial date previously set for early June 2018 has been continued to September 2018. This matter is subject to the indemnification agreement with Raymond James.
Regions is involved in formal and informal information-gathering requests, investigations, reviews, examinations and proceedings by various governmental regulatory agencies, law enforcement authorities and self-regulatory bodies regarding Regions’ business, Regions' business practices and policies, and the conduct of persons with whom Regions does business. Additional inquiries will arise from time to time. In connection with those inquiries, Regions receives document requests, subpoenas and other requests for information. The inquiries, including thosethe one described below, could develop into administrative, civil or criminal proceedings or enforcement actions that could result in consequences that have a material effect on Regions' consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a whole. Such consequences could include adverse judgments, findings, settlements, penalties, fines, orders, injunctions, restitution, or alterations in our business practices, and could result in additional expenses and collateral costs, including reputational damage.    
Regions is cooperating with an investigation by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York pertaining to Regions' banking relationship with a former customer and accounts maintained by related entities and individuals affiliated with the customer who may be involved in criminal activity, as well as related aspects of Regions' Anti-Money Laundering and Bank Secrecy Act compliance program.
While the final outcome of litigation and claims exposures or of any inquiries is inherently unpredictable, management is currently of the opinion that the outcome of pending and threatened litigation and inquiries will not have a material effect on

Regions’ business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a whole. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is reasonably possible that an adverse outcome in any of the matters discussed above could be

GUARANTEES
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION
As discussed in Note 2,3 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, on April 2, 2012 (“Closing Date”), Regions closed the sale of Morgan Keegan and related affiliates to Raymond James. In connection with the sale, Regions agreed to indemnify Raymond James for all legal matters related to pre-closing activities, including matters filed subsequent to the Closing Date that relate to actions that occurred prior to closing. Losses under the indemnification include legal and other expenses, such as costs for judgments, settlements and awards associated with the defense and resolution of the indemnified matters. The maximum potential amount of future payments that Regions could be required to make under the indemnification is indeterminable due to the indefinite term of some of the obligations. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the carrying value and fair value of the indemnification obligation were immaterial.
FANNIE MAE DUS LOSS SHARE GUARANTEE
Regions is a DUS lender. The DUS program provides liquidity to the multi-family housing market. Regions services loans sold to Fannie Mae and is required to provide a loss share guarantee equal to one-third of the majority of its DUS servicing portfolio. At June 30, 2018both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company's DUS servicing portfolio totaled approximately $3.0 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively.$3.6 billion. Regions' maximum quantifiable contingent liability related to its loss share guarantee was approximately $967 million and $923 million$1.2 billion at June 30, 2018both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017, respectively.2018. The Company would be liable for this amount only if all of the loans it services for Fannie Mae, for which the Company retains some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement. Therefore, the maximum quantifiable contingent liability is not representative of the actual loss the Company would be expected to incur. The estimated fair value of the associated loss share guarantee recorded as a liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheets was approximately $4 million at both June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017.2018. Refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, for additional information.

________
(1)This revenue is not impacted by the new accounting guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers and continues to be recognized when earned in accordance with the Company's existing revenue recognition policy.
(2)Prior period amounts have not been adjusted under the modified retrospective method.
Regions elected the practical expedient related to contract costs and will continue to expense sales commissions and any related contract costs when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less.
Regions also elected the practical expedient related to remaining performance obligations and therefore did not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for 1) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and 2) contracts for which revenue is recognized at the amount to which Regions has the right to invoice for services performed.

ASU 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedience

ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This ASU supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry topics of the Codification. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis.

January 1, 2018

Regions adopted the new revenue recognition standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, approximately $864 million of non-interest income is within the scope of the new revenue recognition standard and includes service charges on deposit accounts, card and ATM fees, investment management and trust fee income, capital markets fee income, investment services fee income and other components within non-interest income. Income streams that are out of scope of the new standard include interest income, mortgage income, securities gains (losses), bank-owned life insurance and certain other components within non-interest income. Regions also developed additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures required by the new revenue recognition standard. See Note 14.


ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities

ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments

ASU 2018-04, Debt Securities and Regulated Operations
This ASU amends ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments-Overall, and addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other minor amendments applicable to Regions, the main provisions require investments in equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through net income unless they qualify for a practicability exception (excludes investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). Except for disclosure requirements that have been adopted prospectively, the ASU must be adopted on a modified retrospective basis.
January 1, 2018



The adoption of this guidance resulted in trading account assets and equity securities available for sale being reclassified to other earning assets. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact. See Note 3.


ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
This ASU amends Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and provides clarification with respect to classification within the statement of cash flows where current guidance is unclear or silent. The ASU must be adopted retrospectively.

ASU 2017-05, Other Income- Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets



This ASU amends Subtopic 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, to clarify the scope and to add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets.

Standards Adopted (or partially adopted) in 2018 (continued)
ASU 2017-07, Compensation- Retirement Benefits

This ASU amends Topic 715, Retirement Benefits, and provides more prescriptive guidance around the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost in the income statement. The amendment requires that the service cost component be disaggregated from other components of net periodic benefit cost in the income statement. The ASU must be adopted retrospectively.January 1, 2018
Regions recorded the service cost component of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost in salaries and employee benefits in the income statement. The other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost were recorded in other non-interest expense. The second quarter and first six months of 2017 have been revised to conform to this presentation. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact. See Note 9.
ASU 2017-09, Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting

This ASU amends Topic 718, Compensation- Stock Compensation, and clarifies when modification accounting should be applied to changes in terms or conditions of share-based payment awards. The amendments narrow the scope of modification accounting by clarifying that modification accounting should be applied to awards if the change affects the fair value, vesting conditions, or classification of the award. The amendments do not impact current disclosure requirements for modifications, regardless of whether modification accounting is required under the new guidance. The ASU must be adopted prospectively to modifications that occur on or after the adoption date.
January 1, 2018


The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact.


ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities

This ASU amends ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging to (1) improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity’s risk management activities by better aligning the entity’s financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities and (2) reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. Except for disclosure requirements that have been adopted prospectively, the ASU must be adopted on a modified retrospective basis.
January 1, 2019.

Early adoption is permitted.

Regions elected to adopt this ASU for financial reporting as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact. See Note 10.


ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes

This ASU amends SEC guidance in the Codification related to income taxes to reflect the guidance in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, which provides guidance for companies that are not able to complete their accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the period of enactment. The staff believes that to the extent a company can reasonably estimate the impact of the Tax Cuts and Job Act, such items should be reported in the first reporting period in which the Company is able to determine the reasonable estimate.


Adopted upon issuance.

Regions does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact.

ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to Topic 842

ASU 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors

ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements
This ASU creates ASC Topic 842, Leases, and supersedes Topic 840,Leases. The new guidance requires lessees to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability equal to the present value of future rental payments on their balance sheets for all leases with a term greater than one year. There are not significant changes to lessor accounting; however, there were certain improvements made to align lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance expands both quantitative and qualitative required disclosures.
January 1, 2019
Regions adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method, which allowed for a modified retrospective method of adoption with an immaterial cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings without restating comparable periods. Regions elected the relief package of practical expedients for which there is no requirement to reassess existence of leases, their classification, and initial direct costs. Regions also applied the exemption for short-term leases with a term of less than one year, whereby Regions does not recognize a lease liability or right-of-use asset on the balance sheet but instead recognizes lease payments as an expense over the lease term as appropriate. For property leases, Regions did not elect the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components.

The standard resulted in recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while accounting for finance leases remains largely unchanged. Adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition of additional right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases of approximately $451 million as of January 1, 2019.

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most leases do not state an implicit rate, Regions utilizes the incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of the lease payments. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
ASU 2017-08, Receivables- Nonrefundable Fees and Other CostsThis ASU amends Subtopic 310-20, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, to shorten the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. Current guidance generally requires entities to amortize a premium as a yield adjustment over the contractual life of the instrument. Shortening the amortization period is generally expected to more closely align the recognition of interest income with expectations incorporated into the pricing of the underlying securities. The amendments do not affect the accounting treatment of discounts. This ASU should be adopted on a modified retrospective basis.

The implementation team is currently working with a lease administration vendor to set up and testnon-employees. Under this guidance, the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees and employees will be substantially aligned. The measurement of equity-classified non-employee awards will now be fixed at the lease contractsgrant date.

The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact.
ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements
The FASB issued this ASU to clarify, improve, and correct errors in the Codification. The ASU covers nine amendments, which affect a wide variety of Topics including business combinations, debt, derivatives and hedging, and defined contribution pension plans. Some amendments do not require transition guidance and are effective upon issuance, while others will be applicable for Regions starting in 2019. However, all amendments are expected to have an immaterial impact to Regions.January 1, 2019

The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact.
ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging
This ASU amends Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to expand the list of U.S. benchmark interest rates permitted in applying hedge accounting. The amendments permit all entities that elect to apply hedge accounting to benchmark interest rate hedges under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to use the OIS rate based on the lease administration system. Based on preliminary estimates that are subject to change, Regions hasSOFR as a range of approximately $400-$600 million of future lease obligations that would be measured and recognized when the new guidance is adopted (refer to Note 24 to consolidated financial statements includedU.S. benchmark interest rate in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017). While this amount represents a large majority of the leases that are within the scope of the new leasing standard, the implementation team will continue reviewing service contracts up through the effective date and may identify additional leases embedded in those arrangements that will be within the scope of the new standard.

Between now and January 1, 2019, Regions will likely have changesaddition to the lease portfolio as the Company continues to evaluate and execute branch and occupancy optimization initiatives. In addition to final determination of the lease portfolio at the effective date, the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset and the corresponding liability willfour eligible U.S. benchmark interest rates. The amendments should be affected by certain key assumptions such as expectations of renewalsapplied prospectively for qualifying new or extensions and the interest rate to be used to discount the future lease obligations.

Up throughredesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption, the evaluation of the impact of the standard will be adjusted based on new leases that are executed, leases that are terminated prior to the effective date, and any leases with changes to key assumptions or expectations such as renewals and extensions, and discount rates. While there will be some changes to income statement classification, the implementation team does not expect theadoption.

ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

ASU 2018-19 Codification Improvements to Topic 326
This ASU amends Topic 326, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses to replace the current incurred loss accounting model with a current expected credit loss approach (CECL) for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and other commitments to extend credit. The amendments require entities to consider all available relevant information when estimating current expected credit losses, including details about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The resulting allowance for credit losses is to reflect the portion of the amortized cost basis that the entity does not expect to collect. The amendments also eliminate the current accounting model for purchased credit impaired loans and debt securities. Additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures are required upon adoption.

While the CECL model does not apply to available for sale debt securities, the ASU does require entities to record an allowance when recognizing credit losses for available for sale securities, rather than reduce the amortized cost of the securities by direct write-offs.

The ASU should be adopted on a modified retrospective basis. Entities that have loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 at the time of adoption should prospectively apply the guidance in this amendment for purchase credit deteriorated assets.
January 1, 2020

Early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2019.
Regions’ cross-functional implementation team, which is co-led by Finance and Risk Management, has developed a project plan that results in running a CECL parallel production during 2019 and the adoption of the standard in the first quarter of 2020. Key project implementation activities for 2018 focus2019 include finalization of models, the qualitative framework, and the production process; completion of documentation, policies and disclosures; development of supporting analytics; and process and control testing.

The project implementation plan also establishes a parallel processing timeline which began with a limited parallel run in the first quarter of 2019. The first quarter 2019 limited parallel run included running, validating and reconciling all models. However, the qualitative framework and certain internal controls have not been fully developed and therefore were not included in the first quarter parallel run. Parallel runs will be enhanced throughout the year to include the qualitative framework, supporting analytics, end-to-end governance, internal controls and disclosures.
Regions provides updates to senior management and to the Audit Committee and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors. These communications provide an update on model enhancements, execution andthe status of the implementation continued challenge of model outputs, processes and controls, policies, disclosures, and data resolution.as discussed above.

Adoption of the standard may result in an overall material increase in the allowance for credit losses given the change from accounting for losses inherent in the loan portfolio to accounting for losses over the remaining contractual life of the portfolio. However, the impact at adoption will be influenced by the portfolios’ composition and quality at the adoption date as well as economic conditions and forecasts at that time. Based on initial modeling, the consumer loan portfolios are expected to generate the majority of theexperience an increase includedue to longer-dated loans in products such as residential first mortgages and home equity lending products and indirect-other products. However,Additionally, there could be increases or decreases in the allowance in certain other loan portfolios at adoption.

Regions expects no material allowance on held to maturity securities since the majoritybecause most of this portfolio consists of agency-backed securities that inherently have an immaterial risk of loss. Additionally, Regions expects no material allowance impact to available for sale securities.

This financial information is presented to aid in understanding Regions’ financial position and results of operations and should be read together with the financial information contained in the Form 10-K. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted new accounting guidance and certain prior period amounts presented in this discussion and analysis have been reclassified to conform to current period classifications. See Note 1 "Basis of Presentation" and Note 1514 "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" to the consolidated financial statements for further detail. The emphasis of this discussion will be on the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 for the consolidated statements of income. For the consolidated balance sheets, the emphasis of this discussion will be the balances as of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2017.2018.
This discussion and analysis contains statements that may be considered “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See pages 5 through 7 for additional information regarding forward-looking statements.
CORPORATE PROFILE
Regions is a financial holding company headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, that operates in the South, Midwest and Texas. Regions provides traditional commercial, retail and mortgage banking services, as well as other financial services in the fields of asset management, wealth management, securities brokerage, trust services, merger and acquisition advisory services and other specialty financing.
Regions conducts its banking operations through Regions Bank, an Alabama state-chartered commercial bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System. At June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, Regions operated 1,4761,456 total branch outlets across the South, Midwestoutlets. Regions carries out its strategies and Texas. Regions operates underderives its profitability from three reportable business segments: Corporate Bank, Consumer Bank, and Wealth Management, with the remainder split between Discontinued Operations and Other. See Note 1211 “Business Segment Information” to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding Regions’ segment reporting structure.
On April 4, 2018, Regions entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell Regions Insurance Group, Inc. and related affiliates to BB&T Insurance Holdings, Inc. The saletransaction closed on July 2, 2018. The gain associated with the transaction amounted to $281 million gain ($196 million after tax). On January 11, 2012, Regions entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell Morgan Keegan and related affiliates to Raymond James. The sale closed on April 2, 2012. Regions Investment Management, Inc. and Regions Trust were not included in the sale; they are included in the Wealth Management segment. See Note 23 “Discontinued Operations” to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for further discussion.
Regions’ profitability, like that of many other financial institutions, is dependent on its ability to generate revenue from net interest income and other financing income as well as non-interest income sources. Net interest income and other financing income is primarily the difference between the interest income Regions receives on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense Regions pays on interest-bearing liabilities, principally deposits and borrowings. Regions’ net interest income and other financing income is impacted by the size and mix of its balance sheet components and the interest rate spread between interest earned on its assets and interest paid on its liabilities. Net interest income and other financing income also includes rental income and depreciation expense associated with operating leases for which Regions is the lessor. Non-interest income includes fees from service charges on deposit accounts, card and ATM fees, mortgage servicing and secondary marketing, investment management and trust activities, capital markets and other customer services which Regions provides. Results of operations are also affected by the provision for loan losses and non-interest expenses such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, professional, legal and regulatory expenses, FDIC insurance assessments, and other operating expenses, as well as income taxes.
Economic conditions, competition, new legislation and related rules impacting regulation of the financial services industry and the monetary and fiscal policies of the Federal government significantly affect most, if not all, financial institutions, including Regions. Lending and deposit activities and fee income generation are influenced by levels of business spending and investment, consumer income, consumer spending and savings, capital market activities, and competition among financial institutions, as well as customer preferences, interest rate conditions and prevailing market rates on competing products in Regions’ market areas.
Regions’ business strategy has been and continues to be focused on providing a competitive mix of products and services, delivering quality customer service and maintaining a branch distribution network with offices in convenient locations.

PORTFOLIO CHARACTERISTICS
The following sections describe the composition of the portfolio segments and classes disclosed in Table 2, explain changes in balances from 20172018 year-end, and highlight the related risk characteristics. Regions believes that its loan portfolio is well diversified by product, client, and geography throughout its footprint. However, the loan portfolio may be exposed to certain concentrations of credit risk which exist in relation to individual borrowers or groups of borrowers, certain types of collateral, certain types of industries, certain loan products, or certain regions of the country. See Note 43 “Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses” to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion.
Commercial
The commercial portfolio segment includes commercial and industrial loans to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases and other expansion projects. Commercial and industrial loans increased $964 million$1.7 billion since year-end 20172018 driven primarily by new relationships andan increase in line utilization, the expansion of existing customer relationships withinand addition of new relationships. The Company experienced increases in the Company'scorporate, middle market and real estate portfolios aided by growth within specialized lending groups, which offset the impact of large corporate customers utilizing the fixed income market to pay downdiversified lending groups and pay off bank debt.real estate investment trust portfolios. Commercial also includes owner-occupied commercial real estate mortgage loans to operating businesses, which are loans for long-term financing of land and buildings, and are repaid by cash flows generated by business operations. These loans declined $187$27 million from year-end 2017,2018, reflecting a slowing pace of decline. Owner-occupied commercial real estate construction loans are made to commercial businesses for the development of land or construction of a building where the repayment is derived from revenues generated from the business of the borrower.
Over half of the Company’s total loans are included in the commercial portfolio segment. These balances are spread across numerous industries, as noted in the table below. The Company manages the related risks to this portfolio by setting certain lending limits for each significant industry.
The following tables provide detail of Regions' commercial lending balances in selected industries.

________
(1)"Other" contains balances related to non-classifiable and invalid business industry codes offset by payments in process and fee accounts that are not available at the loan level.
(2)As customers' businesses evolve (e.g. up or down the vertical manufacturing chain), Regions may need to change the assigned business industry code used to define the customer relationship. When these changes occur, Regions does not recast the customer history for prior periods into the new classification because the business industry code used in the prior period was deemed appropriate. As a result, comparable period changes may be impacted.

Investor Real Estate
Loans for real estate development are repaid through cash flows related to the operation, sale or refinance of the property. This portfolio segment includes extensions of credit to real estate developers or investors where repayment is dependent on the sale of real estate or income generated from the real estate collateral. A portion of Regions’ investor real estate portfolio segment consists of loans secured by residential product types (land, single-family and condominium loans) within Regions’ markets. Additionally, this category includes loans made to finance income-producing properties such as apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, and retail shopping centers. Total investor real estate loans decreased $73increased $150 million in comparison to 20172018 year-end balances. Due to the nature of the cash flows typically used to repay investor real estate loans, these loans are particularly vulnerable to weak economic conditions.
Residential First Mortgage
Residential first mortgage loans represent loans to consumers to finance a residence. These loans are typically financed over a 15 to 30 year term and, in most cases, are extended to borrowers to finance their primary residence. These loans experienced a $50decreased $163 million increase in comparison to 20172018 year-end balances. This increase was partially offset by the sale of $254 million ofbalances primarily performing troubled debt restructured loans and certain non-restructured interest-only loans duringdue to the first quarter 2019 sale of 2018.$167 million of affordable housing residential mortgage loans, which generated an $8 million pre-tax gain. Approximately $1.4 billion$469 million in new loan originations were retained on the balance sheet through the first sixthree months of 2018.2019.
Home Equity
Home equity lending includes both home equity loans and lines of credit. This type of lending, which is secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower's residence, allows customers to borrow against the equity in their homes. The home equity portfolio totaled $9.7$9.0 billion at June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 as compared to $10.2$9.3 billion at December 31, 2017.2018. Substantially all of this portfolio was originated through Regions’ branch network.

Of the $9.7$9.0 billion home equity portfolio at June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, approximately $6.2$5.7 billion were home equity lines of credit and $3.5$3.3 billion were closed-end home equity loans (primarily originated as amortizing loans). Beginning in December 2016, new home equity lines of credit have a 10-year draw period and a 20-year repayment term. During the 10-year draw period customers do not have an interest-only payment option, except on a very limited basis. From May 2009 to December 2016, home equity lines of credit had a 10-year draw period and a 10-year repayment term. Prior to May 2009, home equity lines of credit had a 20-year repayment term with a balloon payment upon maturity or a 5-year draw period with a balloon payment upon maturity. The term “balloon payment” means there are no principal payments required until the balloon payment is due for interest-only lines of credit.
Other Consumer Credit Quality Data
The Company calculates an estimate of the current value of property secured as collateral for both residential first mortgage and home equity lending products (“current LTV”). The estimate is based on home price indices compiled by a third party. The third party data indicates trends for MSAs. Regions uses the third party valuation trends from the MSAs in the Company's footprint in its estimate. The trend data is applied to the loan portfolios taking into account the age of the most recent valuation and geographic area.
The following table presents current LTV data for components of the residential first mortgage and home equity classes of the consumer portfolio segment. Current LTV data for the remainingsome loans in the portfolio is not available, primarily because some of the loans are serviced by others. Data may also not be available due to mergers and systems integrations. The amounts in the table represent the entire loan balance. For purposes of the table below, if the loan balance exceeds

the current estimated collateral, the entire balance is included in the “Above 100%” category, regardless of the amount of collateral available to partially offset the shortfall.

Indirect—Vehicles
Indirect-vehicles lending, which is lending initiated through third-party business partners, largely consists of loans made through automotive dealerships. This portfolio class decreased $107$294 million from year-end 2017, primarily because Regions terminated2018. The decrease is due to the termination of a third-party purchase arrangement during the fourth quarter of 2016.2016 and Regions' decision in January 2019 to discontinue its indirect auto lending business due to competition-based margin compression impacting overall returns on the portfolio. Regions ceased originating new indirect auto loans in the first quarter of 2019 and intends to complete any in-process indirect auto loan closings by the end of the second quarter of 2019. The balance is expected to continue to decrease during 2018.Company will remain in the direct auto lending business.
Indirect—Other Consumer
Indirect-other consumer lending represents other point of sale lending through third parties. This portfolio class increased $422$198 million from year-end 2017,2018, primarily due to continued growth in existing point of sale initiatives.
Consumer Credit Card
Consumer credit card lending represents primarily open-ended variable interest rate consumer credit card loans. These balances decreased $26$71 million from year-end 2017.2018 reflecting seasonality.
Other Consumer
Other consumer loans primarily include direct consumer loans, overdrafts and other revolving loans. Other consumer loans decreased $25 million from year-end 2018.
Regions qualitatively considers factors such as periodic updates of FICO scores, unemployment, home prices, and geography as credit quality indicators for consumer loans. FICO scores are obtained at origination and refreshed FICO scores are obtained by the Company quarterly for all consumer loans. The following tables present estimated current FICO score data for components of classes of the consumer portfolio segment. Current FICO data is not available for the remaining loans in the portfolio for various reasons; for example, if customers do not use sufficient credit, an updated score may not be available. Residential first mortgage and home equity balances with FICO scores below 620 were 4 percent and 5 percent of the combined portfolios for June 30, 2018both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017, respectively.2018.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for credit losses (“allowance”) consists of two components: the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded credit commitments. Discussion of the methodology used to calculate the allowance is included in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 6 “Allowance for Credit Losses” to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017,2018, as well as related discussion in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $838$853 million at June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 as compared to $934$840 million at December 31, 2017.2018. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of net loans decreased from 1.17 percentwas 1.01% at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017 to 1.04 percent at June 30, 2018. The decrease in percentage is attributable to reductions in non-performing, criticized and TDR loans, as well as total delinquencies.
The provision (credit) for loan losses decreasedincreased by $68$101 million for the first six monthsquarter of 20182019 as compared to the same period in 2017.2018. During the first six monthsquarter of 2018, the provision for loan losses was less than net charge-offs by approximately $96 million, as a result of broad-based improvements in credit metrics, as well as payoffs and paydowns of criticized loans. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 2018 were approximately $22 million lower as compared to the same period in 2017, also reflecting broad-based asset quality improvement. Additionally, lower than anticipated losses associated with certain 2017 hurricanes resulted in the releasea reduction of $30 million to the Company's $40 million hurricane-specific loan loss allowance, during 2018. Lastly, a $16 million net reduction toand the provision for loan losses from the first quarter of 2018 sale of $254 million in residential first mortgage loans consisting primarily of performing troubled debt restructured loans also contributedresulted in a $16 million net reduction to the results. provision for loan losses. Both of these factors, combined with broad-based improved credit metrics, resulted in the credit for loan losses for the first quarter of 2018. Higher loan balances and the stabilization and normalization of credit resulted in the increased provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2019. The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2019 was approximately $13 million greater than net charge-offs, which included provision for loan growth. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2019 were approximately $6 million lower compared to the same period in 2018.
Management expects that net loan charge-offs will be in the 0.350.40 percent to 0.50 percent range for the 2018 year;2019 year based on recent trends and current market conditions, Regions currently expects to be at the lower end of that range.conditions. Economic trends such as interest rates, unemployment, volatility in commodity prices and collateral valuations will impact the future levels of net charge-offs and may result in volatility of certain credit metrics during the remainder of 2018.2019. Additionally, changes in circumstances related to individually large credits or certain portfolios may result in volatility.
Details regarding the allowance and net charge-offs, including an analysis of activity from the previous year’s totals, are included in Table 7 “Allowance for Credit Losses.”
Refer to Note 14 "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" to the consolidated financial statements for discussion regarding the pending accounting pronouncement that will replace the current incurred loss accounting model for the allowance for credit losses with a current expected credit loss approach (CECL), which will be effective for Regions on January 1, 2020.

TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS (TDRs)
TDRs are modified loans in which a concession is provided to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. Residential first mortgage, home equity, consumer credit card and other consumer TDRs are consumer loans modified under the CAP. Commercial and investor real estate loan modifications are not the result of a formal program, but represent situations where modifications were offered as a workout alternative. Renewals of classified commercial and investor real estate loans are considered to be TDRs, even if no reduction in interest rate is offered, if the existing terms are considered to be below market. More detailed information is included in Note 43 "Loans and the Allowance For Credit Losses" to the consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes the loan balance and related allowance for accruing and non-accruing TDRs for the periods presented:

Note: All loans listed in the table above are considered impaired under applicable accounting literature.
The following table provides an analysis of the changes in commercial and investor real estate TDRs. TDRs with subsequent restructurings that meet the definition of a TDR are only reported as TDR inflows in the period they were first modified. Other than resolutions such as charge-offs, foreclosures, payments, sales and transfers to held for sale, Regions may remove loans from TDR classification if the following conditions are met: the borrower's financial condition improves such that the borrower is no longer in financial difficulty, the loan has not had any forgiveness of principal or interest, the loan has not been restructured as an "A" note/"B" note, the loan has been reported as a TDR over one fiscal year-end and the loan is subsequently refinanced or restructured at market terms such that it qualifies as a new loan.
For the consumer portfolio, changes in TDRs are primarily due to inflows from CAP modifications and outflows from payments and charge-offs. Given the types of concessions currently being granted under the CAP, as detailed in Note 43 “Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses” to the consolidated financial statements, Regions does not expect that the market interest rate condition will be widely achieved. Therefore, Regions expects consumer loans modified through CAP to continue to be identified as TDRs for the remaining term of the loan.

At June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, Regions had approximately $75 million to $150$135 million of potential problem commercial and investor real estate loans that were not included in non-accrual loans, but for which management had concerns as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with their present loan repayment terms. This is a likely estimate of the amount of commercial and investor real estate loans that have the potential to migrate to non-accrual status in the next quarter.
In order to arrive at the estimate of potential problem loans, credit personnel from geographic regions forecast certain larger dollar loans that may potentially be downgraded to non-accrual at a future time, depending on the occurrence of future events. These personnel consider a variety of factors, including the borrower’s capacity and willingness to meet the contractual repayment terms, make principal curtailments or provide additional collateral when necessary, and provide current and complete financial information including global cash flows, contingent liabilities and sources of liquidity. Based upon the consideration of these factors, a probability weighting is assigned to loans to reflect the potential for migration to the pool of potential problem loans during this specific time period. Additionally, for other loans (for example, smaller dollar loans), a trend analysis is incorporated to determine the estimate of potential future downgrades. Because of the inherent uncertainty in forecasting future events, the estimate of potential problem loans ultimately represents the estimated aggregate dollar amounts of loans as opposed to an individual listing of loans.
The majority of the loans on which the potential problem loan estimate is based are considered criticized and classified. Detailed disclosures for substandard accrual loans (as well as other credit quality metrics) are included in Note 43 “Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses” to the consolidated financial statements.
The following table provides an analysis of non-accrual loans (excluding loans held for sale) by portfolio segment:

Goodwill totaled $4.9$4.8 billion at both June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20172018 and is allocated to each of Regions’ reportable segments (each a reporting unit), at which level goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more often if events and circumstances indicate the fair value of the reporting unit may have declined below the carrying value (refer to Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the 2017 consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 for further discussion of when Regions tests goodwill for impairment and the Company's methodology and valuation approaches used to determine the estimated fair value of each reporting unit).
The result of the assessment performed for the secondfirst quarter of 20182019 did not indicate that the estimated fair values of the Company’s reporting units (Corporate Bank, Consumer Bank and Wealth Management) had declined below their respective carrying values. Therefore, Regions determined that a test of goodwill impairment was not required for each of Regions’ reporting units for the June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 interim period.
OTHER EARNING ASSETS
Other earning assets totaled $1.7 billion at June 30, 2018, consisting primarily of $778 million of FRB and FHLB stock, $420 million of operating lease assets, and $423 million marketable equity securities. At December 31, 2017, other earning assets totaled $1.9 billion, consisting primarily of $684 million of FRB and FHLB stock, $489 million of operating lease assets, and $414 million of marketable equity securities.

DEPOSITS
Regions competes with other banking and financial services companies for a share of the deposit market. Regions’ ability to compete in the deposit market depends heavily on the pricing of its deposits and how effectively the Company meets customers’ needs. Regions employs various means to meet those needs and enhance competitiveness, such as providing a high level of customer service, competitive pricing and convenient branch locations for its customers. Regions also serves customers through providing centralized, high-quality banking services and alternative product delivery channels such as mobile and internet banking.
The following table summarizes deposits by category:

Total deposits at June 30, 2018 decreasedMarch 31, 2019 increased approximately $1.6$1.2 billion compared to year-end 2017 levels.2018 levels, with the deposit mix experiencing movement from lower cost to higher cost products. During the first quarter of 2019, balance increases in interest-bearing transaction accounts, savings, customer time deposits, and brokered treasury time deposits were partially offset by balance decreases in non-interest-bearing demand and money market accounts. Specifically, interest-bearing transaction and time deposit balances increased due to the offering of higher rates, portfolio remixing, and overall account growth. Savings account balances increased, generally reflecting seasonal trends. The decreasenon-interest-bearing demand decline was driven by decreasesdue primarily to customers using liquidity to pay down debt or invest in their businesses, as well as portfolio remixing. The decrease in money market accounts and interest-bearing transaction accounts offset by increases in savings accounts. Interest-bearing transaction accounts have declined primarily due toaccount balances reflects the Company's continued strategic reduction of certain trust customer deposits, which require collateralization by securities, and have been shifted into other fee income-producing customer investments. Money market accounts have continued to decline as a resultfinal portion of a decisionlonger-term initiative to reduce higher-cost retail brokered deposits that were no longer a necessary component of the Company's funding strategy. Customersweep deposits. Treasury brokered time deposits declined approximately $260 million as a result of the Company's strong liquidity profile providing less need for higher-cost deposits as part of itswere used to supplement incremental balance sheet funding strategy. Also contributing to the decrease was a continuing customer preference for more liquid deposit products as market interest rates remain relatively low.needs.
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS
Short-term borrowings, which consist of FHLB advances, totaled $1.4$1.6 billion at June 30, 2018 as compared to $500 million atboth March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017.2018. The levels of these borrowings can fluctuate depending on the Company's funding needs and the sources utilized.
In the near term, Regions expects the use of wholesale unsecured borrowings for its funding needs to remain low. Short-term secured borrowings, such as securities sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances, are a core portion of Regions' funding strategy.
The securities financing market and specifically short-term FHLB advances continue to provide reliable funding at attractive rates. See the "Liquidity Risk" section for further detail of Regions' borrowing capacity with the FHLB.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Stockholders’ equity was $15.8$15.5 billion at June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 as compared to $16.2 billion$15.1 billion at December 31, 2017.2018. During the first sixthree months of 2018,2019, net income increased stockholders’ equity by $789$394 million, while cash dividends on common stock reduced stockholders' equity by $201$142 million and cash dividends on preferred stock reduced stockholder's equity by $32$16 million. Changes in accumulated other comprehensive income decreasedincreased stockholders' equity by $506$366 million, primarily due to the net change in unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale and derivative instruments.instruments as a result of changes in market interest rates during the first quarter of 2019. Common stock repurchased during the first sixthree months of 20182019 reduced stockholders' equity by $470$190 million. These shares were immediately retired and therefore are not included in treasury stock.
Total equity includes noncontrolling interest of $11 million, representing the unowned portion of a low income housing tax credit fund syndication, of which Regions held the majority interest at March 31, 2019.
On June 28, 2018, Regions received no objection from the Federal Reserve to its 2018 capital plan that was submitted as part of the CCAR process, which included the repurchase of common shares and a common stock dividend increase.

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
CAPITAL RULES
Regions and Regions Bank are required to comply with regulatory capital requirements established by Federal and State banking agencies. These regulatory capital requirements involve quantitative measures of the Company's assets, liabilities and selected off-balance sheet items, and also qualitative judgments by the regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can subject the Company to a series of increasingly restrictive regulatory actions.
Under the Basel III Rules, Regions is designated as a standardized approach bank and, as such, began transitioning to the Basel III Rules in January 2015 subject to a phase-in period extending to January 2019. When fully phased in, the Basel III Rules will increase capital requirements through higher minimum capital levels as well as through increases in risk-weights for certain exposures. Additionally, the Basel III Rules place greater emphasis on common equity. The Basel III Rules, among other things, (i) introduce a measure called CET1, (ii) specify that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting specified requirements, (iii) define CET1 narrowly by requiring that most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components of capital and (iv) expand the scope of the deductions/adjustments to capital as compared to prior regulations.
Additionally, the Basel III Rules introduce a new capital conservation buffer designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. The capital conservation buffer is on top of minimum risk-weighted asset ratios. The Basel III Rules also prescribe a standardized approach for risk-weightings of assets and off-balance sheet exposures to derive the capital ratios.
In September 2017, the federal banking agencies proposed to revise and simplify the capital treatment for selected categories of deferred tax assets, MSRs, investments in non-consolidated financial entities and minority interests for banking organizations, such as Regions and Regions Bank, that are not subject to the advanced approach. In November 2017, the federal banking agencies revised the Basel III Rules to extend the current transitional treatment of these items for standardized approach banking organizations until the September 2017 proposal is finalized. The September 2017 proposal would also change the capital treatment of high volatility commercial real estate loans under the standardized approach. These changes would have the impact of increasing regulatory capital ratios for some standardized approach banking organizations such as Regions. Regions continues to review the proposal and its impact on the Company’s capital requirements.
In December 2017, the Basel Committee published standards that it described as the finalization of the Basel III post-crisis regulatory reforms (the standards are commonly referred to as “Basel IV”). Among other things, these standards revise the Basel Committee’s standardized approach for credit risk (including by recalibrating risk-weights and introducing new capital requirements for certain “unconditionally cancellable commitments,” such as unused credit card lines of credit) and provide a new standardized approach for operational risk capital. Under the Basel framework, these standards will generally be effective on January 1, 2022, with an aggregate output floor phasing in through January 1, 2027. Under the current U.S. capital rules, operational risk capital requirements and a capital floor apply only to advanced approach institutions, and not to Regions or Regions Bank. The impact of Basel IV on the Company will depend on the manner in which it is implemented by the federal banking regulators.

On April 10, 2018, the federal banking agencies issued a proposal to simplify capital rules for large banks. The proposal introduces a “stress capital buffer," which would replace the existing capital conservation buffer and incorporate forward-looking stress test results into non-stress capital requirements. The proposed stress capital buffer is defined as the greater of the sum of a bank’s degradation in its CET1 capital ratio in CCAR, excluding any planned capital actions, and four quarters of planned common stock dividends or a floor of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets.

On May 14, 2018, the federal banking agencies issued a proposal that would amend regulatory capital rules to provide banks with the option to phase in the day-one effects on regulatory capital that may result from adoption of the new current expected credit losses accounting standard (see Note 15 "Recent Accounting Pronouncements"). Additionally, the agencies are proposing amendments to stress testing regulations which would delay incorporation of the new accounting standard in stress testing until the 2020 stress test cycle.

The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (“EGRRCPA”) was enacted on May 24, 2018, which provides certain limited amendments to the Dodd-Frank Act as well as other modifications to certain post-crisis regulatory requirements. The EGRRCPA raises the asset threshold for the Systemically Important Financial Institution designations from $50 billion to $250 billion and eliminates the company-run stress tests for institutions with less than $250 billion in assets. The EGRRCPA will likely decrease the overall regulatory burden on institutions like Regions, however the ultimate impact is uncertain at this time and will depend on the implementation of the law by the federal banking agencies. On July 6, 2018, the federal banking agencies issued an interagency statement regarding the impact of the EGRRCPA. The statement provides information on rules and associated reporting requirements that EGRRCPA affected such as company-run stress testing, resolution plans, Volcker Rule, HVCRE exposures, and other provisions. Among other things, the statement permits banks to use current information to estimate

LIQUIDITY COVERAGE RATIO
TheRegions is currently subject to the Basel III-based U.S. LCR rule, which is a quantitative liquidity metric designed to ensure that a covered bank or BHC maintains an adequate level of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets under an acute 30-day liquidity stress scenario. Following the threshold amendments recently made by EGRRCPA, the LCR rule currently applies in a modified, less stringent, form to BHCs, such as Regions, having $100 billion or more but less than $250 billion in total consolidated assets and less than $10 billion in total on-balance sheet foreign exposure. However, on October 31, 2018, the Federal Reserve, the OCC and the FDIC approved a final rule in 2014 implementing a minimum LCR requirement for certain large BHCs, savings and loan holding companies and depositoryproposed rules that would, among other things, make institutions and a less stringent LCR requirement (the "modified LCR") for other banking organizations, such as Regions with $50less than $250 billion or more in total consolidated assets.assets no longer subject to the LCR requirement. The finalLCR rule also imposes a monthly calculation requirement. As of January 1, 2017, the LCR calculation rule has been fully phased in. In December 2016, the Federal Reserve issued a final rule on the public disclosure of the LCR calculation that requires BHCs, such as Regions, to disclose publicly, on a quarterly basis, quantitative and qualitative information about certain components of its LCR beginning October 1,with results from the fourth quarter of 2018.
At June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company was fully compliant with the LCR requirements. Changes in the mix and size of the Company's balance sheet and investment portfolio are likely to occur in the future, and additional funding may need to be sourced to remain compliant.

In general, ratings agencies base their ratings on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including capital adequacy, liquidity, asset quality, business mix, probability of government support, and level and quality of earnings. Any downgrade in credit ratings by one or more ratings agencies may impact Regions in several ways, including, but not limited to, Regions’ access to the capital markets or short-term funding, borrowing cost and capacity, collateral requirements, and acceptability of its letters of credit, thereby potentially adversely impacting Regions’ financial condition and liquidity. See the “Risk Factors” section in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 for more information.
A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and the ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
The table below presents computations of earnings and certain other financial measures, which exclude certain significant items that are included in the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include “adjusted average total loans,” “adjusted efficiency ratio,” “adjusted fee income ratio,” “return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity,” averageon a consolidated and continuing operations basis, and end of period “tangible common stockholders’ equity,” and “Basel III CET1, on a fully phased-in basis” and related ratios. Regions believes that expressing earnings and certain other financial measures excluding these significant items provides a meaningful base for period-to-period comparisons, which management believes will assist investors in analyzing the operating results of the Company and predicting future performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are also used by management to assess the performance of Regions’ business because management does not consider the activities related to the adjustments to be indications of ongoing operations. Regions believes that presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as that applied by management. Management and the Board utilize these non-GAAP financial measures as follows:
Preparation of Regions’ operating budgets
Monthly financial performance reporting
Monthly close-out reporting of consolidated results (management only)
Presentations to investors of Company performance
Total average loans is presented including (1) the impact of the fourth quarter of 2018 reclassification of purchase cards to commercial and industrial loans from others assets, (2) excluding the impact of the first quarter 2018 residential first mortgage loan sale, and (3) excluding the indirect vehicles third-party exit portfolio to arrive at adjusted average total loans (non-GAAP). Regions believes adjusting average total loans provides a meaning calculation of loan growth rates and presents them on the same basis as that applied by management.
The adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP), which is a measure of productivity, is generally calculated as adjusted non-interest expense divided by adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis. The adjusted fee income ratio (non-GAAP) is generally calculated as adjusted non-interest income divided by adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis. Management uses these

ratios to monitor performance and believes these measures provide meaningful information to investors. Non-interest expense (GAAP) is presented excluding adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest expense (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for

Table of Contents


the adjusted efficiency ratio. Non-interest income (GAAP) is presented excluding adjustments to arrive at adjusted non-interest income (non-GAAP), which is the numerator for the adjusted fee income ratio. Net interest income and other financing income on a taxable-equivalent basis and non-interest income are added together to arrive at total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis. Adjustments are made to arrive at adjusted total revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis (non-GAAP), which is the denominator for the adjusted efficiency and adjusted fee income ratios.
Tangible common stockholders’ equity ratios have become a focus of some investors in analyzing the capital position of the Company absent the effects of intangible assets and preferred stock. Traditionally, the Federal Reserve and other banking regulatory bodies have assessed a bank’s capital adequacy based on Tier 1 capital, the calculation of which is codified in federal banking regulations. Analysts and banking regulators have assessed Regions’ capital adequacy using the tangible common stockholders’ equity measure. Because tangible common stockholders’ equity is not formally defined by GAAP, this measure is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and other entities may calculate it differently than Regions’ disclosed calculations. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions’ capital adequacy using tangible common stockholders’ equity, Regions believes that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions’ capital adequacy on this same basis.
The Basel Committee'scalculation of the fully phased-in pro-forma "Common equity Tier 1" (CET1) is based on Regions’ understanding of the Final Basel III framework will strengthen international capital and liquidity regulations. When fully phased-in, Basel III will increase capital requirements through higher minimum capital levels as well as through increases in risk-weights for certain exposures. Additionally, the Basel III Rules place greater emphasis on common equity. The Federal Reserve released its final Basel III Rules detailing the U.S. implementation of Basel III in 2013.requirements. For Regions, as a standardized approach bank, began transitioning to the Basel III framework became effective on a phased-in approach starting in January 2015 with full implementation extending to 2019. The Basel III rules are now fully phased in, other than with respect to deductions and adjustments whose transitional treatment has been extended until the federal banking agencies' September 2017 proposal to revise and simplify the capital treatment of selected categories of assets is finalized. The calculation provided in the following table includes estimated pro-forma amounts for the ratio on a fully phased-in basis. Regions’ current understanding of the final framework includes certain assumptions, including the Company’s interpretation of the requirements, and informal feedback received through the regulatory process. Regions’ understanding of the framework is evolving and will likely change as analyses and discussions with regulators continue. Because Regions is not currently subject to a phase-in period extending through January 2019. Because the Basel III implementation regulations will not be fully phased-in until 2019 and, are not formally defined by GAAP, these measures arecapital rules, this pro-forma measure is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measures.measure, and other entities may calculate it differently from Regions’ disclosed calculation. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess Regions’ capital adequacy using the fully phased-in Basel III framework, Regions believes that it is useful to provide investors information enabling themthe ability to assess Regions’ capital adequacy on thethis same basis.
Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. In particular, a measure of earnings that excludes selected items does not represent the amount that effectively accrues directly to stockholders.
The following tables provide: 1) a reconciliation of average total loans to adjusted average total loans (non-GAAP), 2) a reconciliation of net income (GAAP) to net income available to common shareholders (GAAP), 3) a reconciliation of non-interest expense from continuing operations (GAAP) to adjusted non-interest expense from continuing operations (non-GAAP), 4) a reconciliation of non-interest income from continuing operations (GAAP) to adjusted non-interest income from continuing operations (non-GAAP), 5) a computation of adjusted total revenue (non-GAAP), 6) a computation of the adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP), 7) a computation of the adjusted fee income ratio (non-GAAP), 8) a reconciliation of average and ending stockholders’ equity (GAAP) to average and ending tangible common stockholders’ equity (non-GAAP) and calculations of related ratios (non-GAAP), 9) a reconciliation of stockholders’ equity (GAAP) to Basel III CET1, on a fully phased-in basis (non-GAAP), and 10) calculation of the related ratio based on Regions’ current understanding of the Basel III requirements (non-GAAP).

(1)Loans, net of unearned income include non-accrual loans for all periods presented.
(2)Interest income includes net loan fees of $11 million for both six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.
(3)Total deposit costs may be calculated by dividing total interest expense on deposits by the sum of interest-bearing deposits and non-interest-bearing deposits. The rates for total deposit costs equal 0.22% and 0.15% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
(4)The computation of taxable-equivalent net interest income and other financing income is based on the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% and 35% for June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, adjusted for applicable state income taxes net of the related federal tax benefit.

For the secondfirst quarter of 2018,2019, net interest income and other financing income (taxable-equivalent basis) totaled $938$961 million compared to $904$922 million in the secondfirst quarter of 2017.2018. The net interest margin (taxable-equivalent basis) was 3.49 percent for the second quarter of 2018 and 3.32 percent for the second quarter of 2017. Net interest income and other financing income (taxable-equivalent basis) totaled $1.9 billion and $1.8 billion for the first six months of 2018 and 2017, respectively. The net interest margin (taxable-equivalent basis) was 3.48 percent and 3.283.53 percent for the first six monthsquarter of 20182019 and 2017, respectively.3.46 percent for the first quarter of 2018. The increase in net interest margin (taxable-equivalent basis) for the secondfirst quarter and first six months of 2018,2019, compared to the same periodsperiod of 2017,2018, was primarily due to higher market interest rates and prudent deposit cost management.

Management expects tohigher yields on earning assets, particularly loans, exceeding the increase adjusted net interest income and other financing income (non-GAAP and non-taxable equivalent) in the range of 4 to 6 percent on a full year basis in 2018. Based on recent performance and market conditions, the Company currently expects to be toward the upper end of the range.total funding costs.
MARKET RISK—INTEREST RATE RISK
Regions’ primary market risk is interest rate risk. This includes uncertainty with respect to absolute interest rate levels as well as relative interest rate levels, which are impacted by both the shape and the slope of the various yield curves that affect the financial products and services that the Company offers. To quantify this risk, Regions measures the change in its net interest income and other financing income in various interest rate scenarios compared to a base case scenario. Net interest income and other financing income sensitivity to market rate movements is a useful short-term indicator of Regions’ interest rate risk.
Sensitivity Measurement—Financial simulation models are Regions’ primary tools used to measure interest rate exposure. Using a wide range of sophisticated simulation techniques provides management with extensive information on the potential impact to net interest income and other financing income caused by changes in interest rates. Models are structured to simulate cash flows and accrual characteristics of Regions’ balance sheet. Assumptions are made about the direction and volatility of interest rates, the slope of the yield curve, and the changing composition of the balance sheet that results from both strategic plans and from customer behavior. Among the assumptions are expectations of balance sheet growth and composition, the pricing and maturity characteristics of existing business and the characteristics of future business. Interest rate-related risks are expressly considered, such as pricing spreads, the pricing of deposit accounts, prepayments and other option risks. Regions considers these factors, as well as the degree of certainty or uncertainty surrounding their future behavior.
The primary objective of asset/liability management at Regions is to coordinate balance sheet composition with interest rate risk management to sustain reasonable and stable net interest income and other financing income throughout various interest rate cycles. In computing interest rate sensitivity for measurement, Regions compares a set of alternative interest rate scenarios to the results of a base case scenario derived using “market forward rates.” The standard set of interest rate scenarios includes the traditional instantaneous parallel rate shifts of plus 100 and 200 basis points. While not presented, up-rateGiven low market rates by historical standards, the Company continues to present the minus 100 basis point shock. Rising and falling rate scenarios of greater magnitude are also analyzed. LargerWhile not presented in Table 18, the impact of a larger magnitude down-rate scenarios continue to be of limited usedown rate scenario based on historical yield curve minimums is explained in the current rate environment; however, recent increases in short-term rates have caused Regions to transition to a minus 100 basis point scenario, as opposed to the minus 50 basis point scenario that had been presented in recent years.following section. In addition to parallel curve shifts, multiple curve steepening and flattening scenarios are contemplated. Regions includes simulations of gradual interest rate movements phased in over a six-month period that may more realistically mimic the speed of potential interest rate movements.
Exposure to Interest Rate Movements—MovementsAs of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, Regions was asset sensitive to both gradual and instantaneous parallel yield curve shifts as compared to the base case for the measurement horizon ending June 2019.March 2020. The estimated exposure associated with the parallel yield curve shift of minus 100 basis points in the table below reflects the combined impacts of movements in short-term and long-term interest rates. The decline in short-term interest rates (such as the Fed Funds rate, the rate of Interest on Excess Reserves and 1 month LIBOR) will lead to a reduction of yield on assets and liabilities contractually tied to such rates. Recent Fed Funds increases have not resulted in a meaningfulmodest increase in deposit and other funding costs for Regions. Therefore, it is expected that declines in depositfunding costs will only partially offset the decline in asset yields. A reduction in intermediate and long-term interest rates (such as intermediate to longer-term U.S. Treasuries, swap and mortgage rates) will drive yields lower on certain fixed rate, newly originated or renewed loans, reduce prospective yields on certain investment portfolio purchases, and increase amortization of premium expense on existing securities in the investment portfolio. At current rate levels, the interest income sensitivity afforded by potential further extension of investment securities and the resulting impact on premium amortization is reduced, making intermediate and long-term interest rate sensitivity primarily attributable to changes in the level of reinvestment yields on fixed rate assets.
With respect to sensitivity along the yield curve, the balance sheet is estimated to be asset sensitive to short-term, intermediate-term, and long-term rates individually. Current simulation models estimate that, as compared to the base case, net interest income and other financing income over a 12 month horizon would respond favorably by approximately $83$82 million if intermediate and longer-term interest rates were to immediately and on a sustained basis exceed the base scenario by 100 basis points. Conversely, if intermediate and longer-term interest rates were to immediately and on a sustained basis underperform the base case by 100 basis points, then net interest income and other financing income, as compared to the base case, would decline by approximately $116$119 million.
The table below summarizes Regions' positioning in various parallel yield curve shifts (i.e., including all yield curve tenors). The scenarios are inclusive of all interest rate risk hedging activities. Forward starting hedges that have been transacted are contemplated to the extent they start within the measurement horizon. Forward starting hedging relationships are currently being used to protect net interest income and other financing income as the macroeconomic cycle continues to evolve. Therefore, the Company's sensitivity levels are expected to decline to be roughly neutral in early 2020. More information regarding forward starting hedges is disclosed in Table 19 and its accompanying description.

As market interest rates have increased in recent years, larger magnitude falling rate shock scenarios have become possible, although the probability of such a movement is currently low. Regions has established a scenario by which yield curve tenors will fall to a consistent level. The shock magnitude for each tenor, when compared to market forward rates, equates to the lesser of -200 basis points, or a rate modestly lower than the historical all-time minimum. This provides a sufficiently punitive rate environment, while maintaining a higher level of reasonableness. An instantaneous shock under this environment would be expected to reduce net interest income and other financing income when compared to the base case by $384 million over the next 12 months.
As discussed above, the interest rate sensitivity analysis presented in Table 18 is informed by a variety of assumptions and estimates regarding the course of the balance sheet in both the baseline scenario as well as the scenarios of instantaneous and gradual shifts in the yield curve. Though there are many assumptions that affect the estimates for net interest income and other financing income, those pertaining to deposit pricing, deposit mix and overall balance sheet composition are particularly impactful. Given the uncertainties associated with the prolonged period of low interest rates, management evaluates the impact to its sensitivity analysis of these key assumptions. Sensitivity calculations are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future results.
The Company’s baseline balance sheet growth assumptions include moderate loan and deposit growth reflecting management's best estimate. The behavior of deposits in response to changes in interest rate levels is largely informed by analyses of prior rate cycles, but with suitable adjustments based on management’s expectations in the current rate environment. In the +200+ 100 basis point gradual interest rate change scenario in Table 18, the total cumulative interest bearinginterest-bearing deposit re-pricing sensitivity over the 12 month horizon is expected to be approximately 60between 50 percent and 70 percent of changes in short-term market rates (e.g., Fed Funds), as compared to approximately 55 percent in the 2004 to 2007 historical timeframe. Recently observed market rate movements have yielded higher levels of asset sensitivity than modeled due primarily to outperformance in deposit betas as compared to the model assumption.. A 5 percentage point lowerhigher sensitivity than the 60 percent baseline assumption would increasedecrease 12 month net interest income and other financing income in the gradual +200+100 basis points scenario by approximately $60$22 million. While the estimates should be used as a guide, differences may result driven by the pace of rate changes, and other market and competitive factors.
Similarly, management assumes that the change in the mix of deposits in a rising rate environment versus the baseline balance sheet growth assumptions is informed by analyses of prior rate cycles. Management assumes that in rising rate scenarios, some shift from non-interest bearing to interest-bearing products will occur. As the rate cycle has progressed and a mix shift has become inherent in the baseline forecast, management has reduced the sensitivity impact on the shock scenarios. The magnitude of the shift is rate dependent butand equates to approximately $3.5$1.5 billion over 12 months in the gradual +200+100 basis point scenario in Table 18. In the event this shift increased by an additional $3.0$1.5 billion over 12 months, the result would be a reduction of 12 month net interest income and other financing income in the gradual +200+100 basis points scenario by approximately $30$19 million.
Interest rate movements may also have an impact on the value of Regions’ securities portfolio, which can directly impact the carrying value of stockholders’ equity. Regions from time to time may hedge these price movements with derivatives (as discussed below).
Derivatives—Regions uses financial derivative instruments for management of interest rate sensitivity. ALCO, which consists of members of Regions’ senior management team, in its oversight role for the management of interest rate sensitivity, approves the use of derivatives in balance sheet hedging strategies. Derivatives are also used to offset the risks associated with customer derivatives, which include interest rate, credit and foreign exchange risks. The most common derivatives Regions employs are forward rate contracts, Eurodollar futures contracts, interest rate swaps, options on interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and floors, and forward sale commitments.
Forward rate contracts are commitments to buy or sell financial instruments at a future date at a specified price or yield. A Eurodollar futures contract is a future on a Eurodollar deposit. Eurodollar futures contracts subject Regions to market risk associated with changes in interest rates. Because futures contracts are cash settled daily, there is minimal credit risk associated with Eurodollar

futures. Interest rate swaps are contractual agreements typically entered into to exchange fixed for variable (or vice versa) streams of interest payments. The notional principal is not exchanged but is used as a reference for the size of interest settlements. Interest rate options are contracts that allow the buyer to purchase or sell a financial instrument at a predetermined price and time. Forward sale commitments are contractual obligations to sell market instruments at a future date for an already agreed-upon price. Foreign currency contracts involve the exchange of one currency for another on a specified date and at a specified rate. These contracts

are executed on behalf of the Company's customers and are used by customers to manage fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Company is subject to the credit risk that another party will fail to perform.
Regions has made use of interest rate swaps and floors in balance sheet hedging strategies to effectively convert a portion of its fixed-rate funding position and available for sale securities portfolios to a variable-rate position and to effectively convert a portion of its variable-rate loan portfolios to fixed-rate. Regions also uses derivatives to economically manage interest rate and pricing risk associated with its mortgage origination business. In the period of time that elapses between the origination and sale of mortgage loans, changes in interest rates have the potential to cause a decline in the value of the loans in this held-for-sale portfolio. Futures contracts and forward sale commitments are used to protect the value of the loan pipeline and loans held for sale from changes in interest rates and pricing.
The following table presents additional information about the hedging interest rate derivatives used by Regions to manage interest rate risk:

A portion of the cash flow hedging relationships designated above in Table 19 are forward starting, and therefore do not impact, or have limited impact to the estimated annual change in net interest income discussed in Table 18. As of March 31, 2019, $4.75 billion notional of the outstanding cash flow swaps were forward starting. All interest rate floors are forward starting. Forward starting swaps and floors have maturities of approximately five years from their respective start dates. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, the Company executed $750 million notional of forward starting cash flow swaps and $1.0 billion notional of forward starting floors with similar characteristics, start dates and maturities, to the forward starting hedges already transacted. Inclusive of these contracts, the total receive rate and strike price on all forward starting cash flow swaps and floors was 2.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively.
Regions manages the credit risk of these instruments in much the same way as it manages credit risk of the loan portfolios by establishing credit limits for each counterparty and through collateral agreements for dealer transactions. For non-dealer transactions, the need for collateral is evaluated on an individual transaction basis and is primarily dependent on the financial strength of the counterparty. Credit risk is also reduced significantly by entering into legally enforceable master netting agreements. When there is more than one transaction with a counterparty and there is a legally enforceable master netting agreement in place, the exposure represents the net of the gain and loss positions with and collateral received from and/or posted to that counterparty. All of interest rate swap derivatives traded by Regions are subject to mandatory clearing. The counterparty risk for cleared trades effectively moves from the executing broker to the clearinghouse allowing Regions to benefit from the risk mitigation controls in place at the respective clearinghouse. The “Credit Risk” section in Regions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 contains more information on the management of credit risk.
Regions also uses derivatives to meet the needs of its customers. Interest rate swaps, interest rate options and foreign exchange forwards are the most common derivatives sold to customers. Other derivative instruments with similar characteristics are used to hedge market risk and minimize volatility associated with this portfolio. Instruments used to service customers are held in the trading account, with changes in value recorded in the consolidated statements of income.

The primary objective of Regions’ hedging strategies is to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes, from an economic perspective, on net interest income and other financing income and the net present value of its balance sheet. The overall effectiveness of these hedging strategies is subject to market conditions, the quality of Regions’ execution, the accuracy of its valuation assumptions, counterparty credit risk and changes in interest rates. See Note 109 “Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities” to the consolidated financial statements for a tabular summary of Regions’ quarter-end derivatives positions and further discussion.
Regions accounts for residential MSRs at fair market value with any changes to fair value being recorded within mortgage income. Regions enters into derivative and balance sheet transactions to economically mitigate the impact of market value fluctuations related to residential MSRs. Derivative instruments entered into in the future could be materially different from the current risk profile of Regions’ current portfolio.

MARKET RISK—PREPAYMENT RISK
Regions, like most financial institutions, is subject to changing prepayment speeds on mortgage-related assets under different interest rate environments. Prepayment risk is a significant risk to earnings and specifically to net interest income and other financing income. For example, mortgage loans and other financial assets may be prepaid by a debtor, so that the debtor may refinance its obligations at lower rates. As loans and other financial assets prepay in a falling rate environment, Regions must reinvest these funds in lower-yielding assets. Prepayments of assets carrying higher rates reduce Regions’ interest income and overall asset yields. Conversely, in a rising rate environment, these assets will prepay at a slower rate, resulting in opportunity cost by not having the cash flow to reinvest at higher rates. Prepayment risk can also impact the value of securities and the carrying value of equity. Regions’ greatest exposures to prepayment risks primarily rest in its mortgage-backed securities portfolio, the mortgage fixed-rate loan portfolio and the residential MSR, all of which tend to be sensitive to interest rate movements. Each of these assets is also exposed to prepayment risk due to factors which are not necessarily the result of interest rates, but rather due to changes in policies or programs related, either directly or indirectly, to the U.S. Government's governance over certain lending and financing within the mortgage market. Such policies can work to either encourage or discourage financing dynamics and represent a risk that is extremely difficult to forecast and may be the result of non-economic factors. The Company attempts to monitor and manage such exposures within reasonable expectations while acknowledging all such risks cannot be foreseen or avoided. Further, Regions has prepayment risk that would be reflected in non-interest income in the form of servicing income on the residential MSR. Regions actively monitors prepayment exposure as part of its overall net interest income and other financing income forecasting and interest rate risk management.
LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity is an important factor in the financial condition of Regions and affects Regions’ ability to meet the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawal requirements of its customers. The liquidity coverage ratio rule is designed to ensure that financial institutions have the necessary assets on hand to withstand short-term liquidity disruptions. See the "Liquidity Coverage Ratio" discussion included in the "Regulatory Requirements" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis for additional information.
Regions intends to fund its obligations primarily through cash generated from normal operations. Regions also has obligations related to potential litigation contingencies. See Note 1312 “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees” to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion of the Company’s funding requirements. Regions also has obligations related to potential litigation contingencies.
Assets, consisting principally of loans and securities, are funded by customer deposits, borrowed funds and stockholders’ equity. Regions’ goal in liquidity management is to satisfy the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, while at the same time meeting the Company’s cash flow needs. Having and using various sources of liquidity to satisfy the Company’s funding requirements is important.
In order to ensure an appropriate level of liquidity is maintained, Regions performs specific procedures including scenario analyses and stress testing at the bank, holding company, and affiliate levels. Regions' liquidity policy requires the holding company to maintain cash sufficient to cover the greater of (1) 18 months of debt service and other cash needs or (2) a minimum cash balance of $500 million. Cash and cash equivalents at the holding company totaled $1.0$2.3 billion at June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. Compliance with the holding company cash requirements is reported to the Risk Committee of the Board on a quarterly basis. Regions also has minimum liquidity requirements for the Bank and subsidiaries. The Bank's funding and contingency planning does not currently include any reliance on short-term unsecured sources. Risk limits are established withinby the Board through its Risk Appetite Statement and Liquidity Policy. The Company's Liquidity Risk Oversight CommitteeBoard, LROC, and ALCO which regularly reviewsreview compliance with the established limits.
The securities portfolio is one of Regions’ primary sources of liquidity. Proceeds from maturities and principal and interest payments of securities provide a constant flow of funds available for cash needs (see Note 32 “Debt Securities” to the consolidated financial statements). The agency guaranteed mortgage-backed securities portfolio is another source of liquidity in various secured borrowing capacities.
Maturities in the loan portfolio also provide a steady flow of funds. Additional funds are provided from payments on consumer loans and one-to-four family residential first mortgage loans. Regions’ liquidity is further enhanced by its relatively stable customer deposit base. Liquidity needs can also be met by borrowing funds in state and national money markets, although Regions does not currently rely on short-term unsecured wholesale market funding.

The balance with the FRB is the primary component of the balance sheet line item, “interest-bearing deposits in other banks.” At June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, Regions had approximately $2.4$2.1 billion in cash on deposit with the FRB, an increase from approximately $1.9$1.5 billion at December 31, 2017.2018.
Regions’ borrowing availability with the FRB as of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, based on assets pledged as collateral on that date, was $17.4$19.8 billion.
Regions’ financing arrangement with the FHLB adds additional flexibility in managing the Company's liquidity position. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, Regions’ outstanding balance of FHLB borrowings was $6.6$8.5 billion and its total borrowing capacity from the FHLB totaled $17.1$17.5 billion. FHLB borrowing capacity is contingent on the amount of collateral pledged to the FHLB. Regions Bank pledged certain securities, commercial and real estate mortgage loans, residential first mortgage loans on one-to-four family

Refer to Note 8 "Other Earning Assets" to the consolidated financial statements in the 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. The FHLB has been and is expected to continue to be a reliable and economical source of funding.
Regions maintains a shelf registration statement with the SEC that can be utilized by Regions to issue various debt and/or equity securities. Additionally, Regions' Board has authorized Regions may alsoBank to issue up to $10 billion in aggregate principal amount of bank notes from time to time, either as part of a bank note program or as stand-alone issuances.outstanding at any one time. Refer to Note 13 "Long-Term Borrowings" to the consolidated financial statements in the 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Regions may, from time to time, consider opportunistically retiring outstanding issued securities, including subordinated debt in privately negotiated or open market transactions for cash or common shares. Regulatory approval would be required for retirement of some instruments.
CREDIT RISK
Regions’ objective regarding credit risk is to maintain a credit portfolio that provides for stable credit costs with acceptable volatility through an economic cycle. Regions has a diversified loan portfolio in terms of product type, collateral and geography. See Table 2 for further details of each loan portfolio segment. See the “Portfolio Characteristics” section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 for a discussion of risk characteristics of each loan type.
INFORMATION SECURITY RISK
Regions faces a variety of operational risks, including information security risks. Information security risks, such as evolving and adaptive cyber attacks that are conducted regularly against Regions and other large financial institutions to compromise or disable information systems, have generally increased in recent years. This trend is expected to continue for a number of reasons, including the proliferation of new technologies, including technology-based products and services used by us and our customers, the increasing use of mobile devices and cloud technologies, the ability to conduct more financial transactions conducted online, and the increasing sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, nation-states, activists and other external parties or fraud on the part of employees.
Regions devotes significant financial and non-financial resources to identify and mitigate threats to the confidentiality, availability and integrity of its information systems. Regions regularly assesses the threats and vulnerabilities to its environment so it can update and maintain its systems and controls to effectively mitigate these risks. Layered security controls are designed to complement each other to protect customer information and transactions. Regions regularly tests its control environment utilizing practices such as penetration testing and more targeted assessments to ensure its controls are working as expected. Regions will continue to commit the resources necessary to mitigate these growing cyber risks, as well as continue to develop and enhance controls, processes and technology to protect its systems from attacks or unauthorized access. In addition, Regions maintains a strong commitment to a comprehensive risk management program that includes due diligence and oversight of third-party relationships with vendors.
Regions’ system of internal controls also incorporates an organization-wide protocol for the appropriate reporting and escalation of information security matters to management and the Board, to ensure effective and efficient resolution and, if necessary, disclosure of any matters. The Board is actively engaged in the oversight of Regions’ continuous efforts to reinforce and enhance its operational resilience. The Board monitors Regions’ information management risk policies and practices primarily through its Risk Committee, which oversees areas of operational risk such as information technology activities; risks associated with development, infrastructure, and cybersecurity; approval and oversight of information security risk assessments, strategies, policies and programs; and disaster recovery, business continuity, and incident response plans. Additionally, the Board’s Audit Committee regularly reviews Regions’ cybersecurity practices, mainly by receiving reports on the cybersecurity management program prepared by the Chief Information Security Officer, risk management, and Internal Audit. The Board, through its various committees, is briefed at least quarterly on information security matters.
Regions participates in information sharing organizations such as FS-ISAC, to gather and share information with peer banks and other financial institutions to better prepare and protect its information systems from attack. FS-ISAC is a nonprofit organization whose objective is to protect the financial services sector against cyber and physical threats and risk. It acts as a trusted third party

that provides anonymity to allow members to submit threat, vulnerability and incident information in a non-attributable and trusted manner so information that would normally not be shared is instead made available to other members for the greater good of the membership. In addition to FS-ISAC, Regions is a member of BITS. BITS serves the financial community and its members by providing industry best practices on a variety of security and fraud topics.
Regions has contracts with vendors to provide denial of service mitigation. These vendors have also committed the necessary resources to support Regions in the event of a cyber event. Even though Regions devotes significant resources to combat cyber security risks, there is no guarantee that these measures will provide absolute security. As an additional security measure, Regions has engaged a computer forensics firm and an industry-leading consulting firm on retainer in case of a cyber event. Furthermore, someRegions has also developed and maintains robust business continuity and disaster recovery plans that it could implement in the event of a cyber event so as to mitigate the effects of any such event. Some of Regions' exposure with respect to data breaches may be offset by applicable insurance.
Even if Regions successfully prevents cyber attacks on to its own network, the Company may still incur losses that result from customers' account information obtained through breaches of retailers' networks where customers have transacted business. The fraud losses, as well as the costs of investigations and re-issuing new customer cards, may impact Regions' financial results. In addition, Regions also relies on some vendors to provide certain components of its business infrastructure, and although Regions actively assesses and monitors the information security capabilities of these vendors, Regions' reliance on them may also increase exposure to information security risk.
In the event of a cyber attackcyber-attack or other data breach, Regions may be required to incur significant expenses, including with respect to remediation costs, costs of implementing additional preventative measures, addressing any reputational harm and addressing any related regulatory inquiries or civil litigation arising from the event.

PROVISION (CREDIT) FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision (credit) for loan losses is used to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that in management’s judgment is appropriate to absorb probable losses inherent in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. The provision (credit) for loan losses totaled $60$91 million in the secondfirst quarter of 20182019 compared to $48$(10) million during the secondfirst quarter of 2017. The provision for loan losses totaled $50 million for the first six months of 2018 compared to $118 million for the first six months of 2017.2018.

Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in merger and acquisition advisory services.
Mortgage income—Mortgage income is generated through the origination and servicing of residential mortgage loans for long-term investors and sales of residential mortgage loans in the secondary market.

INCOME TAXES
The Company’s income tax expense from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was $89$105 million and $133$128 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, resulting in effective taxes rates of 19.221.0 percent and 29.523.6 percent, respectively. Income tax expense from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $217 million compared to income tax expense of $260 million for the same period in 2017, resulting in effective tax rates of 21.5 percent and 29.9 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate is lower in both current periods due to Tax Reform enacted in December 2017 that reduced the federal statutory rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018. The Company expects the full-year effective tax rate will range fromto be 20 percent to 22 percent for 2018 excluding2019.
Many factors impact the impact of unanticipated discrete items.
The effective tax rate is affected by many factors including, but not limited to, the level of pre-tax income, the mix of income between various tax jurisdictions with differing tax rates, net tax benefits related to affordable housing investments, bank-owned life insurance, tax-exempt interest, and nondeductible expenses. In addition, the effective tax rate is affected by items that may occur in any given period but are not consistent from period-to-period, such as the termination of certain leveraged leases, share-based payments, valuation allowance changes and changes to unrecognized tax benefits. Accordingly, the comparability of the effective tax rate between periods may be impacted.
At June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company reported a net deferred tax assetliability of $222$120 million compared to a net deferred tax asset of $163$20 million at December 31, 2017.
