Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other periodic reports filed by Regions Financial Corporation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf to analysts, investors, the media and others, may include forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
The terms “Regions,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” as used herein mean collectively Regions Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries when or where appropriate. The words “future,” “anticipates,” “assumes,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “objectives,” “estimates,” “expects,” “targets,” “projects,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “would,” “will,” “may,” “might,” “could,” “should,” “can,” and similar terms and expressions often signify forward-looking statements. Further, statements about the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our businesses and financial results and conditions may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual effects may differ, possibly materially, from what is reflected in those forward-looking statements due to factors and future developments that are uncertain, unpredictable and in many cases beyond our control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic (including any second wave or resurgences), actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic, and the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our customers, third parties and us. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical information, but rather are related to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations as well as certain assumptions and estimates made by, and information available to, management at the time the statements are made. Those statements are based on general assumptions and are subject to various risks, and because they also relate to the future they are likewise subject to inherent uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from the views, beliefs and projections expressed in such statements. Therefore, we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, the risk identified in Part II Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of this Form 10-Q and those described below:
Current and future economic and market conditions in the United States generally or in the communities we serve (in particular the Southeastern United States), including the effects of possible declines in property values, increases in unemployment rates, financial market disruptions and potential reductions of economic growth, which may adversely affect our lending and other businesses and our financial results and conditions.
Possible changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies of, and other activities undertaken by, governments, agencies, central banks and similar organizations, which could have a material adverse effect on our earnings.
Possible changes in market interest rates or capital markets could adversely affect our revenue and expense, the value of assets and obligations, and the availability and cost of capital and liquidity.
The impact of pandemics, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, on our businesses and financial results and conditions.The duration and severity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted the global economy, has and could continue to adversely affect our capital and liquidity position, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans and increase our allowance for credit losses, impair collateral values, and result in lost revenue or additional expenses. The pandemic could also cause an outflow of deposits, result in goodwill impairment charges and the impairment of other financial and nonfinancial assets, and increase our cost of capital.
Any impairment of our goodwill or other intangibles, any repricing of assets, or any adjustment of valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets due to changes in law, adverse changes in the economic environment, declining operations of the reporting unit or other factors.

Possible changes in the creditworthiness of customers and the possible impairment of the collectability of loans and leases, including operating leases.
Changes in the speed of loan prepayments, loan origination and sale volumes, charge-offs, loan loss provisions or actual loan losses where our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover our eventual losses.
Possible acceleration of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities due to low interest rates, and the related acceleration of premium amortization on those securities.
Loss of customer checking and savings account deposits as customers pursue other, higher-yield investments, which could increase our funding costs.
Possible changes in consumer and business spending and saving habits and the related effect on our ability to increase assets and to attract deposits, which could adversely affect our net income.
Our ability to effectively compete with other traditional and non-traditional financial services companies, some of whom possess greater financial resources than we do or are subject to different regulatory standards than we are.

Our inability to develop and gain acceptance from current and prospective customers for new products and services and the enhancement of existing products and services to meet customers’ needs and respond to emerging technological trends in a timely manner could have a negative impact on our revenue.
Our inability to keep pace with technological changes could result in losing business to competitors.
Changes in laws and regulations affecting our businesses, including legislation and regulations relating to bank products and services, as well as changes in the enforcement and interpretation of such laws and regulations by applicable governmental and self-regulatory agencies, which could require us to change certain business practices, increase compliance risk, reduce our revenue, impose additional costs on us, or otherwise negatively affect our businesses.
Our ability to obtain a regulatory non-objection (as part of the CCAR process or otherwise) to take certain capital actions, including paying dividends and any plans to increasedividend payments, common stock dividends, repurchase common stock under currentrepurchases, or future programs, or redeemredemptions of preferred stock or other regulatory capital instruments, must not cause us to fall below minimum capital ratio requirements, with applicable buffers taken into account, and must comply with other requirements under law or imposed by our regulators, which may impact our ability to return capital to stockholders and market perceptions of us.

The severity and impact of future earthquakes, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, floods and other weather-related events are difficult to predict and may be exacerbated by global climate change.
Changes in commodity market prices and conditions could adversely affect the cash flows of our borrowers operating in industries that are impacted by changes in commodity prices (including businesses indirectly impacted by commodities prices such as businesses that transport commodities or manufacture equipment used in the production of commodities), which could impair their ability to service any loans outstanding to them and/or reduce demand for loans in those industries.

REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Three andSix Months Ended June 30, 20192020 and 20182019
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Regions Financial Corporation (“Regions” or the "Company”) provides a full range of banking and bank-related services to individual and corporate customers through its subsidiaries and branch offices located across the South, Midwest and Texas. The Company competes with other financial institutions located in the states in which it operates, as well as other adjoining states. Regions is subject to the regulations of certain government agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by certain regulatory authorities.
The accounting and reporting policies of Regions and the methods of applying those policies that materially affect the consolidated financial statements conform with GAAP and with general financial services industry practices. The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes to the consolidated financial statements necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. 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, 2018.2019. Regions has evaluated all subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the filing date of this Form 10-Q.
Effective January 1, 2019,During 2020, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to several topics.topics, including CECL. See Note 513 and Note 14below for related disclosures.
CECL
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted CECL, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology. The measurement of expected losses under CECL is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and debt securities held to maturity. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with accounting guidance on leases. In addition, CECL required changes to the accounting for debt securities available for sale. The adoption of CECL had a material impact to the allowance for credit losses (see below). The cumulative effect of the modified retrospective application for all items in scope was a reduction to retained earnings of $377 million, net of taxes, $375 million of which was attributable to the allowance and $2 million of which was attributable to other financial assets.
DEBT SECURITIES
The company adopted CECL using the prospective transition approach for debt securities for which OTTI had previously been recognized. As a result, the amortized cost basis remained the same before and after adoption. Recoveries of amounts previously written off relating to improvements in cash flows after January 1, 2020 will be recorded in earnings when received.
For debt securities available for sale, CECL eliminates the concept of OTTI and instead requires entities to determine if impairment is related to credit loss or non-credit loss. In making the assessment of whether a loss is from credit or other factors, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance is created, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis.
Subsequent activity related to the credit loss component (e.g. write-offs, recoveries) is recognized as part of the allowance for credit losses on debt securities available for sale. Securities held to maturity are evaluated under the allowance for credit losses model. For securities which have an expectation of zero nonpayment of the amortized cost basis (e.g. U.S. Treasury securities or agency securities), the expected credit loss is zero.
LOANS
Loans held for investment are carried at amortized cost (the principal amount outstanding, net of premiums, discounts, unearned income and deferred loan fees and costs). Regions elected to exclude accrued interest receivable balances from the amortized cost basis. Interest receivable is included as a separate line item on the balance sheets. Additionally, Regions elected to not estimate an allowance on interest receivable balances because the Company has non-accrual policies in place that provide for the accrual of interest to cease on a timely basis when all contractual amounts due are not expected. See more information about Regions' non-accrual policies in Note 1 of Regions' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

14




Purchased loans are recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date. Purchased loans are evaluated and classified as either PCD, which indicates that the loan has experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination, or non-PCD loans. For PCD loans, the sum of the loans' purchase price and allowance for credit losses, which is determined using the same methodology as originated loans, becomes their initial amortized cost basis. For non-PCD loans, the difference between the fair value and the par value is considered the fair value mark. The non-credit discount or premium related to PCD loans and the fair value mark on non-PCD loans is accreted or amortized to interest income over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method. Subsequent changes in the allowance related to PCD and non-PCD loans are recognized in the provision for credit losses.
TDRs are loans whereby the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the time of restructuring, and Regions has granted a concession to the borrower. TDRs are undertaken in order to improve the likelihood of recovery on the loan and may take the form of modifications to the stated interest rate such that it is lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, other modifications to the structure of the loan that fall outside of normal underwriting policies and procedures, or in limited circumstances forgiveness of principal and/or interest. Insignificant delays in payments are not considered TDRs. Prior to the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, all loans with the TDR designation were considered to be impaired, even if they were accruing. With the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, the definition of impaired loans was removed from accounting guidance.
ALLOWANCE
Regions adopted CECL using the modified retrospective method for loans held for investment, net investment in lease assets, and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2020 are presented under CECL while prior periods' amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The cumulative effect of the retrospective application for loans and unfunded commitments was an increase in the allowance of $501 million and a reduction to retained earnings of $375 million, with the difference being an increase to deferred tax assets.
Upon the adoption of CECL, the allowance is intended to cover expected credit losses over the contractual life of loans measured at amortized cost, including unfunded commitments. Management’s measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and R&S forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. For periods beyond which Regions makes or obtains such R&S forecasts, Regions reverts to historical credit loss information. Regions maintains an appropriate level of allowance that falls within an acceptable range of estimated losses, measured in accordance with GAAP. Management's determination of the appropriateness of the allowance is based on many factors, including, but not limited to, an evaluation and rating of the loan portfolio; historical loan loss experience; current economic conditions; collateral values securing loans; levels of problem loans; volume, growth, quality and composition of the loan portfolio; regulatory guidance; R&S economic forecasts; and other relevant factors. Changes in any of these factors, assumptions, or the availability of new information, could require that the allowance be adjusted in future periods, perhaps materially. Loss forecasting models are built on historical loss information and then applied to the current portfolio. Outputs from the loss forecasting models in combination with Regions' qualitative framework, and other analyses are used to inform management in its estimation of Regions' expected credit losses. Actual losses could vary, perhaps materially, from management’s estimates. The entire allowance is available to cover all charge-offs that arise from the loan portfolio.
Regions' allowance calculation is a significant estimate. Regions uses its best judgment to assess economic conditions and loss data in estimating the CECL allowance and these estimates are subject to periodic refinement based on changes in underlying external or internal data. Therefore, assumptions and decisions driving the estimate may change as conditions change. These assumptions and estimates are detailed below.
R & S forecast period
During the two-year R&S forecast period, Regions incorporates forward-looking information by utilizing its internally developed and approved Base economic forecast. The scenario is developed by the Chief Economist and approved through a formal governance process. The Base forecast considers market forward/consensus information and is consistent with the Company's organization-wide economic outlook. When appropriate, additional scenarios, including externally created scenarios, are considered as part of the determination of the allowance.
Reversion period
Regions utilizes an exponential reversion approach that reverts to TTC rates derived from the simple average of all historical quarterly observations for PD, LGD, EAD and prepayment rates. The length of the reversion period differs by class of financing receivable.
Historical loss period
Regions does not adjust historical loss information for existing economic conditions or expectations of future economic conditions for periods that are beyond the R&S period. Regions utilizes internal historical loss information; however, there are certain loan portfolios that also benefit from the use of external or other reference data due to identified limitations with internal historical data.

15




Contractual life
Regions estimates expected credit losses over the contractual life of a loan. Regions defines contractual life for non-revolving loans as contractual maturity, net of estimated prepayments and excluding expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless 1) Regions has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that it will execute a TDR with the borrower ("RETDR") or 2) extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by Regions.
RETDR
Regions individually identifies commercial and investor real estate loans for inclusion as RETDRs. The identification criteria are based on internal risk ratings and time to maturity. Regions typically does not identify consumer loans as RETDRs due to the insignificant period between initial contact with a customer regarding a loan modification and when a TDR modification is consummated.
The RETDR status extends the life of the loan past the contractual maturity and includes the allowance impact of interest rate concessions. Loans identified as RETDRs will be treated consistently from a modeling/reserving perspective as loans identified as TDRs.
Contractual term extensions (borrower versus lender option to renew)
Regions' consumer loan contracts do not permit automatic extensions or unilateral customer extensions, and Regions retains the right to approve or deny any extension requested from the borrower. As a result, extensions and renewal options are not included in the life of consumer loans for the purposes of calculating the allowance. Similarly, Regions does not include extension and renewal options in the life of commercial loans for the purposes of calculating the allowance, unless it is a RETDR. Most commercial products do not offer borrowers a unilateral right to renew or extend.
Contractual life of credit card receivables
Regions estimates the life of credit card receivables based on the amount and timing of payments expected to be collected. Regions' credit card allowance estimate only considers the amount of debt outstanding at the reporting date (the current position) because undrawn balances are unconditionally cancellable and therefore are not considered. Regions classifies credit card accounts into one of three payment patterns: dormant, transacting or revolving. The dormant accounts are idle, carry no balance, and do not contribute to the allowance. The transacting account holders tend to pay the entire balance due every month and are, therefore, subject to practically no interest charges. For transactor accounts, the current position balance is expected to be paid off in one quarter. The revolving accounts tend to be subject to interest charges, and their current position balance liquidates over time. Regions' credit card portfolio is comprised primarily of revolvers.
Collateral-dependent loans
Regions' collateral-dependent consumer loans are loans secured by collateral (primarily real estate) that meet the partial charge-down requirements disclosed in Note 1 of Regions' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Regions evaluates significant commercial and investor loans that are in financial difficulty and secured by collateral to determine if they are collateral dependent.
For collateral-dependent loans, CECL requires an entity to measure the expected credit losses based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date when the entity determines that foreclosure is probable. Additionally, CECL allows a fair value of collateral practical expedient as a measurement approach for loans when the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty ("collateral dependent”). For any collateral-dependent loans that meet Regions' specific allowance criteria (see below), Regions will calculate the CECL allowance based on the fair value of collateral methodology. For collateral-dependent consumer, commercial and investor real estate loans that do not meet Regions' specific allowance criteria (as described below), Regions considers the value of the collateral through the LGD component of the loss model based on collateral type.
Credit enhancements
Regions' estimate of credit losses reflects how credit enhancements, other than those that are freestanding contracts, mitigate expected credit losses on financial assets. In the event that a credit enhancement arrangement is considered to be a freestanding contract, Regions excludes the credit enhancement from the related loan when estimating expected credit losses.
Unfunded commitments and other off-balance sheet items
CECL requires an entity to record a liability or allowance for credit losses for the unfunded portion of a loan commitment in the event that the issuer does not have the unconditional right to cancel the commitment. For an unfunded commitment to be considered unconditionally cancellable, Regions must be able to, at any time, with or without cause, refuse to extend credit. The liability is measured over the full contractual period for which Regions is exposed to credit risk through a current obligation to

16




extend credit. In determining the liability, management considers the likelihood that funding will occur, and if funded, the related expected credit losses under the CECL model.
Regions' off-balance sheet unfunded commitments in the form of home equity lines, standby letters of credit, commercial letters of credit and commercial revolving products that are deemed to be conditionally cancellable will include unfunded balances within the allowance estimate. Future advances from certain unfunded commitments and other revolving products where Regions does have the unconditional right to cancel these agreements will not be included.
CALCULATION OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Pooled allowances
The allowance is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Segmentation variables for Commercial and Investor Real estate segments include product, loan size, collateral type, risk rating and term. Segmentation variables considered for Consumer segments include product, FICO, LTV, age, TDR status, etc. The allowance is calculated for most portfolios and classes using econometric models (i.e., models that include macro-economic forecasts).
Specific allowances
Due to their size, complexity and individualized risk characteristics and monitoring, the allowance for significant non-accrual commercial and investor real estate loans (including TDRs) and unfunded commitments is measured on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluation. Regions generally measures the allowance for these loans based on the present value of estimated cash flows, considering all facts and circumstances specific to the borrower and market and economic conditions. The allowance measurement for collateral-dependent loans that meet the individually evaluated threshold is based on the fair value of collateral methodology.
TDRs and RETDRs
Loans identified as TDRs and RETDRs are treated consistently in CECL loss models. These loans are included in their respective loan pools (if they do not qualify for specific evaluation) and losses are determined by CECL models. The effect of the interest rate concession on these loans is considered through a post-model adjustment.
Qualitative framework
While quantitative allowance methodologies strive to reflect all risk factors, any estimate involves assumptions and uncertainties resulting in some level of imprecision. Imprecision exists in the estimation process due to the inherent time lag between obtaining information, performing the calculation, as well as variations between estimates and actual outcomes. Regions adjusts the allowance considering quantitative and qualitative factors which may not be directly measured in the modeled calculations. Regions' qualitative framework provides for specific, quantitatively supported model adjustments and general imprecision adjustments. Specific model adjustments capture highly specific issues or events that Regions believes are not adequately captured in model outcomes. General imprecision adjustments address other sources of imprecision that are not specifically identifiable or quantifiable to a particular loan portfolio and have not been captured by the model or by a specific model adjustment. Regions considers general imprecision in three dimensions; economic forecast imprecision, model error imprecision, and process imprecision.

The number of individual debt positions in an unrealized loss position in the tables above decreased from 1,379500 at December 31, 2018,2019, to 66898 at June 30, 2019.2020. The decrease in the number of securities and the total amount of unrealized losses from year-end 20182019 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 OTTIcredit impairment 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 in certain periods, as shown in the table below.

During the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, Regions purchased approximately $526$856 million and $215$526 million in indirect-other consumer and commercial and industrial loans from third parties, respectively.
In January 2019, Regions decided 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 completed any in-process indirect auto loan closings at the end of the second quarter of 2019. The Company will remainremains in the direct auto lending business.
At June 30, 2019, $21.72020, $21.2 billion in securities and net eligible loans held by Regions were pledged to secure current and potential borrowings from the FHLB. At June 30, 2019,2020, an additional $25.2$21.3 billion in net eligible loans held by Regions were pledged to the FRB for potential borrowings.

TableIncluded in the commercial and industrial loan balance are sales-type and direct financing leases totaling $1.3 billion as of Contents


June 30, 2020, with related income of $27 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
On January 1, 2020, Regions determinesadopted CECL, which replaces the appropriate level of the allowance on a quarterly basis.incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology. Refer to Note 1 “Summary"Basis of Presentation" and Note 13 "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" for description of the adoption of CECL and Regions' allowance methodology. Additionally, refer to Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”Policies" to the consolidated financial statements to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, for a description of the methodology.methodology prior to the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020.
During the second quarter of 2020, Regions recorded $4.5 billion of PPP loans. These loans are guaranteed by the Federal government and as the guarantee is not separable from the loans, Regions did not record an allowance on these loans.
ROLLFORWARD OF ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The cumulative effect of the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020 for loans and unfunded commitments was an increase in the allowance of $501 million. During the first half of 2020, Regions increased the allowance by an additional $1.0 billion to $2.4 billion, which represents management's best estimate of expected losses over the life of the portfolio. The increase was due primarily to higher expected credit losses due to the economic impact and ongoing uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and the purchase of Ascentium. Macroeconomic factors utilized in the CECL loss models include, but are not limited to, unemployment rate, GDP, HPI and the S&P 500 index, with unemployment being the most significant macroeconomic factor within the CECL models. Declines in the macroeconomic environment were incorporated into the June 30, 2020 forecast utilized in the CECL loss models.

Table of Contents


Regions' models are sensitive to changes in the economic scenario, specifically to the level of unemployment. The June 30, 2020 economic forecast includes a high degree of uncertainty around how widely the COVID-19 pandemic could spread, how long it could persist and the effectiveness of government relief programs and debt payment relief provided by Regions. These factors cannot be fully reflected in the models. Therefore, the risks to the economic forecast and the model limitations were considered through model adjustments and the qualitative framework.
The following tables present analyses of the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018.2019. The total allowance for loan losses and the related loan portfolio ending balances for the six months ended June 30, 2019 are disaggregated to detail the amounts derived through individual evaluation and collective evaluation for impairment. ThePrior to 2020, the allowance for loan losses related to individually evaluated loans iswas attributable to reservesallowances for non-accrual commercial and investor real estate loans and all TDRs. TheTDRs ("impaired loans") and the allowance for loan losses and the loan portfolio ending balances related to collectively evaluated loans iswas attributable to the remainder of the portfolio. With the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, the impaired loan designation and disclosures related to impaired loans are no longer required.

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

Table of Contents


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 lines, home equity loans, 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 representsincludes 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, 2019, and December 31, 2018. 2020.
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.”
Regions considers factors such as periodic updates of FICO scores, unemployment rates, home prices, accrual status and geography as credit quality indicators for the consumer loan portfolio. FICO scores are obtained at origination as part of Regions' formal underwriting process. Refreshed FICO scores are obtained by the Company quarterly for all consumer loans, including residential first mortgage loans. Current FICO data is not available for certain loans in the portfolio for various reasons; for example, if customers do not use sufficient credit, an updated score may not be available. These categories are utilized to develop the associated allowance for credit losses. The higher the FICO score the less probability of default and vice versa.
With the adoption of CECL in 2020, the disclosure of credit quality indicators for loan portfolio segments and classes, excluding loans held for sale, is presented by credit quality indicator by vintage year. Regions defines the vintage date for the purposes of disclosure as the date of the most recent credit decision. In general, renewals are categorized as new credit decisions and reflect the renewal date as the vintage date. Loans that are modified as a TDR are considered to be a continuation of the original loan, therefore the origination date of the original loan is reflected as the vintage date. The following tables present applicable credit quality indicators for the loan portfolio segments and classes, excluding loans held for sale, as of June 30, 2020. Classes in the commercial and investor real estate portfolio segments are disclosed by risk rating. Classes in the consumer portfolio segment are disaggregateddisclosed by accrual status.

AGING AND NON-ACCRUAL ANALYSIS
The following table presentstables include an aging analysis of DPD and loans on non-accrual status for each portfolio segment and class as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Loans on non-accrual status with no related allowance included $119 million of commercial and industrial loans and $1 million of commercial real estate mortgage-owner-occupied loans as of June 30, 2020. Non–accrual loans with no related allowance typically include loans where the average balancesunderlying collateral is deemed sufficient to recover all remaining principal. Prior to the adoption of totalCECL on January 1, 2020, all TDRs and all non-accrual commercial and investor real estate loans, excluding leases, were deemed to be impaired. The definition of impairment and the required impaired loan disclosures were removed with CECL. Refer to Note 6 "Allowance for Credit Losses" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for disclosure of Regions' impaired loans and interest income foras of December 31, 2019. Loans that have been fully charged-off do not appear in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Interest income recognized represents interest on accruing loans modified in a TDR.tables below.

TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS
Regions regularly modifies commercial and investor real estate loans in order to facilitate a workout strategy. Similarly, Regions works to meet the individual needs of consumer borrowers to stem foreclosure through its CAP. Refer to Note 6 "Allowance Forfor Credit Losses" in the 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for additional information regarding the Company's TDRs.
As provided in the CARES Act passed into law on March 27, 2020, certain loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic beginning March 1, 2020 are eligible for relief from TDR classification. Regions elected this provision of the CARES Act; therefore, modified loans that met the required guidelines for relief are not considered TDRs and are excluded from the disclosures below. The CARES Act relief and short-term nature of most COVID-19 deferrals precluded the majority of Regions' COVID-19 loan modifications from being classified as TDRs as of June 30, 2020.
Further discussion related to TDRs, including their impact on the allowance for loan lossesupon adoption of CECL is included in Note 1 "Basis of Presentation." Additional discussion related to TDRs, including their impact on the allowance and designation of TDRs in periods subsequent to the modification prior to the adoption of CECL is included in Note 1 "Basis of Presentation" and discussion in Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The following tables present the end of period balance for loans modified in a TDR during the periods presented by portfolio segment and class, and the financial impact of those modifications. The tables include modifications made to new TDRs, as well as renewals of existing TDRs. Loans first reported as TDRs during the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 20182019 totaled approximately $121$111 million and $219$121 million, respectively.

TDRs that defaulted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and that were modified in the previous twelve months (i.e., the twelve months prior to default) were immaterial. At June 30, 2019, less than $1 million of commercial and investor real estate loans modified as TDRs during the three months ended June 30, 2019 were on non-accrual status.
At June 30, 2019, Regions had restructured binding unfunded commitments totaling $6 million where a concession was granted and the borrower was in financial difficulty.
NOTE 4. SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES
The fair value of residential MSRs is calculated using various assumptions including future cash flows, market discount rates, expected prepayment rates, servicing costs and other factors. A significant change in prepayments of mortgages in the servicing portfolio could result in significant changes in the valuation adjustments, thus creating potential volatility in the carrying amount of residential MSRs. The Company compares fair value estimates and assumptions to observable market data where available, and also considers recent market activity and actual portfolio experience.

The table below presents an analysis of residential MSRs under the fair value measurement method:

________
(1) "Economic amortization associated with borrower repayments" includes both total loan payoffs as well as partial paydowns. In the first quarter of 2020, Regions revised its MSR decay methodology from a passage of time approach to a discounted net cash flow approach. The change in methodology results in shifts between decay and hedge impacts, but does not impact the overall valuation.

On March 27, 2019, the Company sold $167 million of affordable housing residential mortgage loans and as part of the transaction kept the rights to service the loans, which resulted in athe retained residential MSR of approximately $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 factor may result in changes in another, which may either magnify or counteract the effect of the change. The derivative instruments utilized by Regions would serve to reduce the estimated impacts to fair value included in the table above.

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.

Property leases, which primarily include office locationsfair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. A detailed description of the Company’s methodology and retail branches, typically have original lease terms ranging from 1 year to 20 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 datevaluation approaches used to determine the presentestimated fair value of lease payments. Leases witheach reporting unit is included in Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The remainder of the lease portfolio is comprised of equipment leases that have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 3 years.
As of June 30, 2019, assets2020, and liabilities recorded under operating leases for properties were $430 million and $505 million, respectively. The difference betweenthrough the asset and liability balance is largely the result of lease liabilities that existed prior to the January 1, 2019 adoptiondate of the new accounting guidance for leases.filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that could potentially indicate goodwill impairment including analyzing the impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

LESSOR
Regions engages in both direct financing and sales-type leasing. Regions also has portfolios of leveraged and operating leases. These arrangements provide equipment financing for leased 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 ongoing basis. In order to manage the residual value risk inherent in some of its direct financing leases, Regions purchases residual value insurance from an independent third party. The sales-type, direct financing and leveraged leases are recorded within loans on the consolidated balance sheet and operating leases are recorded within other earning assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
The following tables presents a summary of Regions' sales-type, direct financing, operating, and leveraged leases:

Regions was not required to participate inOn June 25, 2020, the 2019 CCAR; however, as required,Federal Reserve indicated that the Company did submit its plannedexceeded all minimum capital actionslevels under the supervisory stress test. The capital plan submitted to the Federal Reserve forreflected no share repurchases through year-end 2020 and Regions is in compliance with the third quarter of 2019 throughcapital plan. Prior to the second quarter of 2020. Duringsupervisory stress test submission, the second quarter of 2019, the Board had authorized the repurchase of up to $1.37$1.370 billion of the Company's common stock, permitting repurchases from the beginning of the third quarter of 2019 through the second quarter of 2020. The Company began to repurchase shares under this plan in the third quarter of 2019, and as of August 6, 2019, Regions had repurchased approximately 9.3 million shares of common stock at a total cost of approximately $144.8 million. All of these shares were retired upon repurchase and, therefore will not be included in treasury stock.
Prior to the new common stock repurchase plan, Regions had authorization to repurchase $2.031 billion in common shares. As of June 30, 2019, Regions had repurchased approximately 115.38 million shares of common stock, through open market purchases and a contractual repurchase agreement, at a total cost of $2.031 billion under this plan and concluded the plan during the second quarter of 2019.
Regions' Board declared a cash dividend for both the first and second quarter of 20192020 of $0.14$0.155 per share, totaling $0.28$0.310 per common share for the first six months of 2019.2020.

The Board evaluated the common dividend in July 2020, considering the specific Federal Reserve limitations on capital distributions in the third quarter of 2020. The Federal Reserve mandated that banks must not increase their quarterly per share common dividend and implemented an earnings-based payout restriction in connection with the supervisory stress test, requiring the third quarter 2020 dividend to not exceed the average of the prior four quarters of net income excluding preferred dividends. On July 24, 2019,22, 2020, the Board declared an increasea cash dividend for the third quarter of the quarterly common stock dividend to2020 of $0.155 per share.

(1)Certain per share amounts may not appear to reconcile due to rounding.
(2)On April 4, 2018, Regions entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell Regions Insurance Group, Inc to BB&T Insurance Holdings, Inc. The transaction closed on July 2, 2018. The transaction generated an after-tax gain of $196 million. On January 11, 2012, Regions entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell Morgan Keegan and Company and related affiliates to Raymond James Financial Inc. The sale closed on April 2, 2012.
(3)In a period where there is a loss from discontinued operations, basic weighted-average common shares outstanding are used to determine both basic and diluted earnings per share.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, basic and diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for earnings (loss) per common share are the same due to net losses.
The effects from the assumed exercise of 9 million and 7 million stock options, restricted stock units and awards and performance stock units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, were not included in the above computations of diluted earnings per common share because such amounts would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per common share. The effects from the assumed exercise of 6 million stock options, restricted stock units and awards and performance stock units for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was not included in the above computations of diluted earnings per common share because such amounts would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per common share.

(1)Derivatives in a gain position are recorded as other assets and derivatives in a loss position are recorded as other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. There is no fair value presented for contracts that are characterized as settled daily.
(2)Estimated fair value includes premium and change in fair value of approximately $104 million to be amortized over the interest rate floors.remaining life.
(3)As permitted by U.S. GAAP, variation margin payments made or received for derivatives that are centrally cleared are legally characterized as settled, such that no fair value is presented on the balance sheet for the respective derivatives. As of both June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the net amounts of variation margin cash collateral received from central counterparty clearing houses were $643 million and $113 million, respectively.
(4)The gain amounts,which are not collateralized with cash or other assets or reserved for, represent the net credit risk on all trading and other derivative positions. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, financial instruments posted of $25 million and $24 million, respectively, were not offset in the consolidated balance sheets.
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, 2018,2019, 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 and interest rate floors.
Regions recognized an unrealized after-tax gain of $45$51 million and $125$45 million in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively, related to discontinued cash flow hedges of loan instruments, which will be amortized into earnings in conjunction with the recognition of interest payments through 2025.2026. Regions recognized pre-tax income of

$3 $2 million and $14$3 million during the three months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively, and pre-tax income of $8$4 million and $29$8 million during the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively, related to the amortization of discontinued cash flow hedges of loan instruments.
Regions expects to reclassify into earnings approximately $11$349 million in pre-tax income due to the receipt or payment of interest payments and floor premium amortization on all cash flow hedges within the next twelve months. Included in this amount is $8$5 million in pre-tax net gains 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 eightseven years as of June 30, 2019,2020, 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 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 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, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, Regions had $389 million$1.0 billion and $191$366 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, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, Regions had $767 million$1.8 billion and $429$622 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.
Regions has elected to account for residential MSRs at fair value with any changes to fair value being recorded withinin mortgage income. Concurrent with the election to use the fair value measurement method, Regions began using various derivative instruments in

Credit risk, defined as all positive exposures not collateralized with cash or other assets or reserved for, at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, totaled approximately $358 million and $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 20192020 and 2026.2029. Swap participations, whereby Regions has sold credit protection have maturities between 20192020 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, 20192020 was approximately $600$558 million. This scenario would only occuroccurs if variable interest rates were at zero percent and all counterparties defaulted with zero recovery. The fair value of sold protection at June 30, 20192020 and 20182019 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.
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, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, were $53$66 million and $45$64 million, respectively, for which Regions had posted collateral of $53$67 million and $43$67 million, respectively, in the normal course of business.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
See Note 1 “Summary"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”Policies" to the consolidated financial statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 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. 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018:basis:

(1)All following disclosures related to Level 3 recurring and non-recurring assets do not include those deemed to be immaterial.
(2)As permitted under U.S. GAAP, variation margin collateral payments made or received for derivatives that are centrally cleared are legally characterized as settled. As such, these derivative assets and derivative liabilities and the related variation margin collateral are presented on a net basis on the balance sheet.
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 4. See Note 4 for these amounts and additional disclosures related to assumptions used in the fair value calculation for MSRs.

44




FAIR VALUE OPTION
Regions has elected the fair value option for all FNMA and FHLMC eligible agency 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.
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.operations. 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 incomeoperations during the three and six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018.2019. 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 makes 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, 20192020 was $320$219 million or 0.4 percent.0.3 percent, reflecting tightening of credit spreads as of June 30, 2020, following a significant widening in the first quarter of 2020, and PPP loan valuation at par.

(1) Upon adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, the provision for credit losses is the sum of the provision for loans losses and the provision for unfunded credit commitments. Prior to the adoption of CECL, the provision for unfunded commitments was included in other non-interest expense. See Note 23 "Business Segment Information" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for information on how the provision is allocated to each reportable segment.

NOTE 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. The credit risk involved in the issuance of these guarantees is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to clients and as such, the instruments are collateralized when necessary. 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

52


Table of Contents


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 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, 2019,2020, 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 a legal contingenciescontingency that areis subject to thean indemnification agreement with Raymond James.agreement.
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.
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 the 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

49


Table of Contents


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 material to Regions’ business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period of occurrence.
GUARANTEES
INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION
As discussed in Note 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, 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 offor the majority of its DUS servicing portfolio. At both June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Company's DUS servicing portfolio totaled approximately $3.6$3.9 billion. Regions' maximum quantifiable contingent liability related to its loss share guarantee was approximately $1.2$1.3 billion at both June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019. 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 $5 million at June 30, 2019 and $4 million at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2018.2019, respectively. 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, 2018,2019, for additional information.

StandardDescriptionRequired Date of AdoptionEffect on Regions' financial statements or other significant matters
Standards Adopted (or partially adopted) in 2019
ASU 2016-02, Leases

ASU 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842

ASU 2018-10, Narrow Amendments to Topic 842

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.January 1, 2019

The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact.
ASU 2018-07,
Compensation - Stock Compensation
This ASU amends and expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services for non-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 grant date.January 1, 2019


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.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 SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate in addition to the four eligible U.S. benchmark interest rates. The amendments should be applied prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption.January 1, 2019The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact.

ASU 2020-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses

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 supportableR&S 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 amendmentsASU also eliminateeliminates the current accounting model for purchased credit-impaired loans, but requires an allowance to be recognized for purchased-credit-deteriorated (PCD) assets (those that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit impairedquality since origination). Entities that had loans and debt securities. accounted for under ASC 310-30 at the time of adoption should prospectively apply the guidance in this amendment for purchase credit deteriorated assets.

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 is permitted.
Regions’ cross-functional implementation team, which is co-ledThe allowance increased by Finance$501 million based on loan exposure balances and Risk Management, hasRegions' internally developed a project plan that results in running a CECL parallel production during 2019 and themacroeconomic forecast upon adoption of the standardCECL on January 1, 2020.

The increase in the allowance at adoption was primarily the result of significant increases within the consumer portfolio segment, specifically residential first quartermortgages, home equity loans, home equity lines, and indirect-other consumer. The impact to the residential first mortgage and home equity classes was mainly driven by their longer time to maturity. Additionally, a significant portion of 2020. Key project implementation activities for 2019 include finalizationthe indirect-other consumer class is unsecured lending through third parties which yielded higher loss rates. Under CECL these higher loss rates compounded over a life of models, the qualitative framework, and the production process; completion of documentation, policies and disclosures; development of supporting analytics; and process and control testing.loan estimate result in a significantly larger allowance estimate.
The project implementation plan establishes a parallel processing timeline which began with a limited parallel run in the first quarter of 2019. Parallel runs will be enhanced throughout the year. The second quarter parallel run included enhanced analytics, the qualitative framework and a parallel governance/decisioning process.
A suite of controls including governance, data, forecast and model controls iswas in place to support the parallel process. Controls will continually be challenged and enhanced throughout the remainder of 2019, specifically regarding the precision of the controls and enhanced documentation.at adoption.
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 the status of the implementation as discussed above.
Regions expects that the allowance for credit losses of $903 million may increase by approximately $400 million to $600 million upon adoption. This estimate is based on March 31, 2019 loan exposure balances and Regions' internally developed macroeconomic forecast, which provides for a relatively stable macroeconomic environment over a two year reasonable and supportable forecast period. Regions currently utilizes a two year reasonable and supportable forecast period for all portfolio segments which closely aligns with other internal forecast periods. After the forecast period, the Company reverts to longer term historical loss experience, adjusted for prepayments, to estimate losses over the remaining life.
The estimated increase in the allowance is primarily the result of significant increases within residential first mortgage, home equity lending, consumer credit card and indirect- other consumer loan classes. Residential first mortgage and home equity lending products are impacted by having the longest time to maturity. Additionally, home equity lines of credit have the majority of future principal payment resets not beginning until 2023 and beyond with nearly 50% of the portfolio in a second lien position. Both consumer credit card and a significant portion of the indirect-other loan classes are unsecured. Regions' credit card accounts are primarily revolving, as opposed to accounts in which customers pay off their balances monthly.
The disclosed estimate is subject to change based on continuing review and challenge of the models, assumptions, methodologies and judgments. The impact at adoption will also be influenced by the loan portfolio composition and quality at the adoption date, as well as, macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that time.
The impact will bewas reflected as an adjustmenta reduction of approximately $375 million to beginning retained earnings netand an increase of income taxes, at adoption.approximately $126 million to deferred tax assets.

The adoption of CECL on regulatory capital.  The rule allows an add-back to regulatory capital for the impacts of CECL for a two-year period.  At the end of the two years, the impact is then phased in over the following three years. The add-back is calculated as the impact of initial adoption, plus 25 percent of subsequent changes in allowance.  At June 30, 2020 will alsothis amount is approximately $613 million year-to-date.  The impact Regions' ongoing earnings, perhaps materially.on CET1 is approximately 56 basis points.  The interim final rule has been published for comment, but has an immediate effective date.

For the consolidated balance sheets, the emphasis of this discussion will be the balances as of June 30, 20192020 compared to December 31, 2018.2019.
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 67 through 89 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, 2019,2020, Regions operated 1,4601,391 total branch outlets. Regions carries out its strategies and derives its profitability from three reportable business segments: Corporate Bank, Consumer Bank, and Wealth Management, with the remainder split between Discontinued Operations andin Other. See Note 11 “Business"Business Segment Information”Information" to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding Regions’ segment reporting structure.
On May 31, 2019, Regions entered into an agreement to acquire Highland Associates, Inc., an institutional investment firm based in Birmingham, Alabama. The transaction closed on August 1, 2019.
On April 4, 2018,February 27, 2020, Regions entered into a stock purchasean agreement to sell Regions Insurance Group, Inc. and related affiliates to BB&T Insurance Holdings, Inc.acquire Ascentium Capital LLC, an independent equipment financing company headquartered in Kingwood, Texas. The transaction closed on July 2, 2018. The transaction resultedApril 1, 2020, and included approximately $1.9 billion in a $281 million gain ($196 million after tax). On January 11, 2012, Regions entered into a stock purchase agreementloans and leases 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 3 “Discontinued Operations”small businesses. Refer to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K"Ascentium Acquisition" section for the year ended December 31, 2018 for further discussion.more detail.
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 loancredit 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 is focused on providing a competitive mix of products and services, delivering quality customer service, and continuing to develop and optimize distribution channels that include a branch distribution network with offices in convenient locations, as well as electronic and mobile banking.
SECOND QUARTER OVERVIEW
Economic Environment in Regions’ Banking Markets
One of the primary factors influencing the credit performance of Regions’ loan portfolio is the overall economic environment in the U.S. and the primary markets in which it operates. After a brief but violent contraction in economic activity stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and the efforts to stem its spread, the U.S. economy had begun to recover during the second quarter. However, a sharp increase in COVID-19 cases was seen in early July. While this increase in cases is more likely to slow, rather than suppress, the economic recovery, it nonetheless adds another layer of uncertainty over economic forecasts. For full-year 2020, real GDP is expected to contract by 5.8 percent and to grow by 3.3 percent in 2021.

Table of Contents


Economic activity bottomed at the end of April 2020. By the end of May, each state had taken steps to ease restrictions on economic activity, though these steps varied across individual states. May marked the beginning of economic improvement with the addition of over 2.6 million non-farm jobs, a rebound in consumer spending, and improved conditions in the industrial sector. Further economic improvement was experienced in June with both the ISM Manufacturing Index and the ISM Non-Manufacturing index pushing above the 50 percent break between contraction and expansion and non-farm payrolls rising by 4.8 million jobs. Additionally, motor vehicle sales rebounded sharply through June and applications for purchase loans stood at more than a 12-year high based on the MBA’s weekly survey data. The economy has clearly benefitted from the aggressive fiscal and monetary policy response in the early phases of the pandemic.
As the spike in the number of positive COVID-19 tests persisted into early July, several state and local governments rolled back some of the reopening measures, with most of the interventions directed at bars and restaurants. The policy response, at least thus far, has come in the form of targeted interventions rather than re-imposing the broad shutdowns seen in the early phases of the pandemic, which should limit the disruption to the economy. Barring a more intense and geographically dispersed increase in the number of COVID-19 cases than seen thus far, it is likely these targeted interventions will be the template for policy makers to deal with any subsequent spikes in cases.
Aside from the potential fallout from the policy response, consumer and business confidence could be adversely impacted by rising numbers of COVID-19 cases, which could in turn weigh on growth in consumer spending and slow the pace of improvement in the labor market. Nonetheless, after what are likely to be extraordinarily large swings in real GDP in the second quarter (contraction) and the third quarter (expansion) of 2020, the economy is likely to settle on a path of steady but moderate growth over subsequent quarters. Though many households are facing an “income cliff” at the end of July as the supplemental unemployment insurance benefits provided by the CARES Act are set to expire, it is likely that fiscal and monetary policy will remain supportive of the economic recovery. The July 2020 baseline forecast anticipates that it will be 10 to 12 quarters before the level of real GDP returns to the level from the fourth quarter of 2019, which is the last quarter free of the effects of COVID-19.
The effects within the Regions footprint will be broadly similar to those seen in the U.S. as a whole. Florida’s economy has an above-average exposure to leisure and hospitality services, while Texas and Louisiana have above-average exposure to energy, so these economies could be more prone to lasting effects if the recovery does prove to be slower than is now anticipated.
The continued economic uncertainty, as described above, impacted Regions' forecast utilized in calculating the ACL as of June 30, 2020. See the "Allowance" section for further information.
COVID-19 Pandemic
Regions' business operations and financial results are influenced by the economic environment in which the Company operates. The adverse economic conditions and uncertainty in the economic outlook as of June 30, 2020 driven by the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact the second quarter 2020 financial results in the areas as described below. Regions expects that the pandemic will continue to influence economic conditions and the Company's financial results in future quarters.
Even as businesses re-open across the country, Regions continued to keep measures in place to ensure associate and customer safety, such as continuing to limit in-person branch activity to drive-through and in-office services to appointment only. As of June 30, 2020, approximately 95% of branches were open. Regions is in the process of implementing a phased approach to return remote working associates to office locations. As of June 30, 2020, approximately 90 percent of the Company's non-branch associates are working remotely.
During the second quarter of 2020, the Company continued to offer special financial assistance to support customers who were experiencing financial hardships related to the COVID-19 pandemic. This assistance included offering customer payment deferrals or forbearances to existing loans over a set period of time, typically 90 days. Residential mortgage payment assistance is granted through a forbearance. During the forbearance period, a borrower's payment obligation is suspended and no foreclosure action will be pursued. All payments are then due at expiration of the forbearance period, unless the loan has been modified. For most other loan products (commercial and consumer products except for residential real estate), payment assistance is granted through deferrals or extensions. Deferrals and extensions are different than forbearances in that all payments are normally not due at the end of the deferral or extension period. Instead, the payment due date is advanced. However, for most all products, interest continues to accrue on the loan during the deferral or forbearance period, unless the loan is on non-accrual.
As of June 30, 2020, Regions had processed approximately 27,200 consumer payment deferral requests totaling $1.9 billion, including approximately 5,500 forbearances related to residential mortgages totaling approximately $1.4 billion. During May and June of 2020, approximately 34% of borrowers made mortgage payments while in forbearance. Additionally, approximately 36% of borrowers made home equity payments, approximately 56% made credit card payments, and approximately 41% made auto loan payments while in deferral. In addition, payment deferral requests for approximately 18,100 mortgage loans serviced for others have been processed totaling approximately $3.0 billion. Regions has also processed approximately 14,300 requests for business customers totaling approximately $3.8 billion.

While a significant amount of payment deferrals and forbearances were granted in the second quarter of 2020, the deferrals and forbearances initially granted at the end of March 2020 expired prior to the end of the second quarter. As of June 30, 2020, approximately 2,160 residential first mortgage forbearances, totaling approximately $585 million, were scheduled to expire. As of mid-July 2020, approximately 37% of the forbearances scheduled to expire on June 30, 2020 extended the forbearance periods by one to three months. Approximately 23% of the expired forbearances had either completed a loan modification or were in process of being modified. In addition, approximately 25% of the remaining expired forbearances were considered current because borrowers continued to make regular payments throughout the forbearance period. Regions is in process of contacting borrowers for the remaining 15% of these expired forbearances.
As noted above, loan products other than residential first mortgage have payment deferrals or extensions which either advance the payment due date or adjust the amount due each period so the borrower is not past due. The majority of these borrowers do not consider a second deferral period until the next payment is due. As a result, it is early to ascertain what actions are being taken for these other loan products after their initial deferral period expiration. In many cases, Regions is being proactive and reaching out to borrowers with payment deferrals to determine their financial capacity and whether additional payment deferrals or loan modifications are needed. As of mid-July 2020, Regions has performed few second deferral requests for its consumer products (excluding residential first mortgage) and its commercial and investor real estate loans.
As provided in the CARES Act passed into law on March 27, 2020, certain loan modifications related to COVID-19 beginning March 1, 2020 through the earlier of 60 days after the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak ends or December 31, 2020 are eligible for relief from TDR classification. Refer to Table 15 "Troubled Debt Restructurings" for further information.
As a certified SBA lender, Regions experienced an increase in lending activity in the second quarter of 2020 as the Company continued to assist customers through the loan process under the PPP. Under this program, Regions has approximately 44,600 loans outstanding totaling approximately $4.5 billion as of June 30, 2020.
Regions continues to have strong liquidity and capital levels, which have the Company well-prepared to respond to the increase in customer borrowing needs. The Company has ample sources of liquidity that include a granular and stable deposit base, cash balances held at the Federal Reserve, borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank, unencumbered highly liquid securities, and borrowing availability at the Federal Reserve's discount window. See the "Liquidity", "Shareholders' Equity", and "Regulatory Capital" sections for further information.
The COVID-19 pandemic affected the second quarter provision for credit losses, which was $882 million in total and $700 million in excess of net charge-offs (see below and the "Allowance for Credit Losses" section for further detail). Loan and deposit balances also increased due to the current environment. Contributing to the ending loan balance increase was $4.5 billion of lending through the PPP. Ending deposit levels continued to increase as customers have retained excess cash from line draws, PPP loans, and other government stimulus funds. See Table 2 "Loan Portfolio" and Table 19 "Deposits" for further information.
The COVID-19 pandemic also affected non-interest income. At the beginning of the second quarter of 2020, consumer spending remained low due to "non essential" business closures, but did start to increase during the quarter as restrictions on economic activity were eased throughout the country. Overall, customer spending activity negatively impacted non-interest income as evidenced by reductions in service charges of $47 million and card and ATM fess of $4 million compared to the first quarter. If current spending levels persist, the Company estimates non-interest income will be negatively impacted by $10 million to $15 million per month from pre-March 2020 levels. See Table 28 "Non-Interest Income" for more detail.
During the second quarter of 2020, Regions tested goodwill for impairment in light of the decline in the economic environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company concluded that goodwill impairment did not exist. Refer to the "Goodwill" section for further detail.
Regions has experienced a modest increase in cyber events as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, however the Company's layered control environment has effectively detected and prevented any material impact related to these events. Refer to the "Information Security" section for further detail.
Supervisory Stress Test Update
On June 25, 2020, the Federal Reserve indicated that the Company exceeded all minimum capital levels under the supervisory stress test. The capital plan submitted to the Federal Reserve reflected no share repurchases through year-end 2020. The Company's preliminary stress capital buffer for the fourth quarter of 2020 through the third quarter of 2021 is currently estimated at 3 percent. The Federal Reserve has provided specific limitations on capital distributions in the third quarter of 2020 that the Company will need to maintain compliance with in order to maintain its common stock dividend. On July 22, 2020, the Company declared a cash dividend for the third quarter of 2020 of $0.155 per share, which was in compliance with the Federal Reserve's limit.
Second Quarter Results
Regions reported net income (loss) available to common shareholders of $(237) million, or $(0.25) per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $374 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $359 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2018. The primary driver of the increase in net income was lower non-interest expense offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses.2019.

The increase in the provision for credit losses during the second quarter of 2020 was driven primarily by adverse economic conditions and uncertainty in the economic outlook resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and credit deterioration as evidenced by the increase in both criticized and classified loans during the second quarter. Downgrades were primarily in the retail, energy, restaurant, and hotel portfolios (see Note 3 "Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses" to the consolidated financial statements for additional information).

The increase was driven primarily by charge-offs within the energy and restaurant portfolios, as well as additions related to the acquisition of Ascentium. See Note 3 "Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses" to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
The allowance for loan losses was 1.022.68 percent of total loans, net of unearned income at June 30, 2019 as2020 compared to 1.011.10 percent at December 31, 2018. 2019. The increase was impacted by all of the factors discussed above regarding the increase in the provision. Additionally in the second quarter of 2020, Regions completed the acquisition of Ascentium, and recognized an initial increase to the allowance of $60 million associated with the purchase of credit deteriorated loans. The allowance was 395 percent of total non-performing loans at June 30, 2020compared to 180 percentat December 31, 2019.

The increase in non-performing loans was driven primarily by downgrades in administrative support, waste and repair, manufacturing, restaurant and energy-related credits. Refer to the "Allowance for Credit Losses" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis for further detail.
Non-interest income from continuing operations was $494$573 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $5122020, a $79 million forincrease from the second quarter of 2018.2019.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents increased approximately $950 million$9.1 billion from year-end 20182019 to June 30, 2019,2020, due primarily to an increase in cash on deposit with the FRB,FRB. Significant deposit growth during the quarter has contributed to historically elevated liquidity sources for the Company. Commercial customer deposit levels have significantly increased as customers have kept their excess cash from line draws, PPP loans, and other government stimulus in their deposit accounts. Some of these liquidity sources were used to increase cash at the result of normal day-to-day operating variations.FRB. See the "Liquidity" and "Deposits" sections for more information.

DuringDebt securities increased $1.2 billion from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Despite the interest rate volatility during the first half of 2020, Regions' comprehensive securities repositioning executed in the second quarterand third quarters of 2019 the Company executed strategies to optimize its securities portfolio by reducing the overall size, through a combination of maturities and sales, and further repositioning the portfolio. The repositioning strategy consisted of the sale of primarily agency mortgage-backed securities that were lower yielding and reinvestment in similar higher-yielding securities, which drove the securities loss of $19 million during the quarter. The portfolio was reduced significantly on an amortized cost basis, but as a result of the repositioning strategy net unrealized gains recorded during the period increased the fair value ofpositioned the portfolio to a level thatreact favorably to the current economic environment.

PORTFOLIO CHARACTERISTICS
The following sections describe the composition of the portfolio segments and classes disclosed in Table 2, explain changes in balances from 20182019 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 3 “Loans"Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses”Losses" to the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion.
Most classes within Regions' portfolio segments continue to experience the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, Regions' energy, freight transportation, healthcare, travel and leisure, retail and restaurant portfolios have experienced significant operational challenges as a result of COVID-19 and are at the highest risk. Energy credits continue to be stressed even though oil prices slightly recovered during the second quarter. The restaurant portfolio, particularly credits in the casual dining space, also continues to come under stress even as shelter in place orders have been lifted. Small business sectors of the portfolio, as well as consumer portfolios, are being impacted by social distancing and limited capacity rules created by the COVID-19 pandemic along with the fact that these types of borrowers tend to have limited liquidity or access to alternate liquidity sources. The extent to which Regions' borrowers are ultimately impacted will be a factor of the duration and severity of the economic impact as well as the effectiveness of the various government programs in place to support individuals and businesses. See Table 3 "Selected Industry Exposure" for more detail.
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 $1.2$7.7 billion since year-end 2018.2019. This expansion was due to the origination of approximately $4.5 billion of PPP

loans, the addition of $1.9 billion in loans related to the Ascentium acquisition that occurred at the beginning of the second quarter (see the "Second Quarter Overview" and the "Ascentium Acquisition" sections for more information) and, to a lesser degree, elevated draws on commercial lines of credit. Line utilization levels approached normalized levels by the end of the second quarter. The increaseexpansion was broad-based across industry sectors and geographic markets, driven primarily by increases in line utilization, expansion of existing customer relationshipsthe real estate, retail trade, manufacturing, healthcare and the addition of new relationships. utilities industry sectors.
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 $94 million from year-end 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.
(3)"Real estate" includes REITs, which are unsecured commercial and industrial products that are real estate related.

Regions has identified certain industry sectors within the commercial and investor real estate portfolio segments that have the highest risk due to COVID-19 as of June 30, 2020. These high-risk industries include energy, freight transportation, healthcare, other consumer services, restaurants, retail, travel and leisure, hotels and retail. Industries identified as high-risk may change in future periods depending on how the macroeconomic environment conditions develop over time. These identified high-risk industries, and specified sectors within these industries, are detailed in Table 4 below. PPP loan balances are not included in Table 4 as these loans are not considered high risk. Regions is closely monitoring customers in these industries and has frequent dialogue with these customers. Certain of these exposures are also represented in Table 5 through Table 8 below. All loans within these tables are in the commercial portfolio segment, unless specifically identified as IRE.

Energy
Regions' direct energy portfolio is comprised mostly of E&P and midstream sector borrowers. As of June 30, 2020, oil prices have rebounded from all-time lows in April 2020, but have not yet reached pre-pandemic levels. None of Regions' direct energy credits are leveraged loans and Regions has no second lien energy exposure. During the first six months of 2020, Regions has recognized approximately $86 million in energy charge-offs, of which $84 million was associated with four customers. Since first quarter 2015, utilization rates have remained between 40-60%. Hedge positions are adequate for oil producers and strong for natural gas providers, and 4% of energy loans are currently operating under a COVID-19 payment deferral.

Restaurant
The quick service sector comprises over half of Regions' restaurant portfolio balances outstanding. Quarantining, social distancing, and reduced business travel as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic has and will continue to result in lost demand, much of which may not be recoverable. Casual dining is the sector under the most stress in the current environment. Quick service restaurants focus on fast food service and limited menus. This sector has performed relatively well during the pandemic given digital platforms, drive-through and delivery capabilities. The $798 million in COVID high-risk balances related to restaurants disclosed in Table 4 above are included across the quick service, casual dining and other sectors disclosed in Table 6 below. Approximately 18% of restaurant outstandings are leveraged. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Regions strategically exited some higher risk restaurant relationships at par. Approximately 27% of restaurant, accommodation and lodging portfolio balances are in payment deferrals as of June 30, 2020. During the first six months of 2020, Regions has recognized approximately $31 million in restaurant charge-offs.

Hotel-related
Regions' hotel-related portfolio is the most impacted property type given cancellations of events, conventions, and most business and leisure travel. While demand is expected to increase in 2021, the average daily rate will likely be slower to recover. Regions' hotel-related portfolio is primarily comprised of 12 REIT customers. These loans are unsecured commercial and industrial loans; however, they are real estate related. The REIT portfolio benefits from low leverage, strong liquidity, and diversity of property holdings. Companies have also taken proactive steps to reduce capital expenditures, cut dividends, and reduce overhead to preserve cash. SNCs comprise 59% of Regions' total hotel-related loans. Most of Regions' borrowers for secured hotel loans have requested deferrals. As noted above, approximately 27% of restaurant, accommodation and lodging portfolio balances are in payment deferrals as of June 30, 2020. During the first six months of 2020, Regions has recognized no charge-offs in hotel related lending. REITs and IRE balances in the table below comprise the hotels COVID high-risk industry sector balance of $983 million disclosed in Table 4. The consumer services and PPP balances included in the table below along with the total restaurants balance in Table 6 above comprise the restaurant, accommodation and lodging balance in Table 3 above.

Retail-related
Regions' retail-related industry is mainly comprised of REITs and non-leveraged commercial and industrial sectors. Approximately $553 million of outstanding balances across the REIT and IRE portfolios relate to shopping malls and outlet centers. Portfolio exposure to REITs specializing in enclosed malls consists of a small number of credits. Approximately 48% of mall REIT balances are investment grade with low leverage. The IRE portfolio is widely distributed. The largest tenants typically include "basic needs" anchors. However, almost all IRE retail credits were downgraded to criticized in the second quarter due to low rent collections and concerns over tenant viability in the long term. The commercial and industrial retail portfolio is also widely distributed. The largest categories include motor vehicle and parts dealers, building materials, garden equipment and supplies, and non-store retailers. Owner-occupied CRE consists primarily of small strip malls and convenience stores which are largely term loans where a higher utilization rate is expected. Approximately 6% of retail-related lending is operating in a deferral as of June 30, 2020. During the first six months of 2020, Regions has recognized approximately $7 million in retail-related lending charge-offs. REIT and IRE balances totaling $2,529 million in the table below comprise the COVID high-risk REITs and IRE retail-related sector balance in Table 4. Portions of the commercial and industrial-not leveraged, CRE owner-occupied and asset-based lending balances in the table below comprise the $247 million of the COVID high-risk commercial retail sector in Table 4. Additionally, the commercial and industrial leveraged and non-leveraged, asset-based lending, PPP and CRE owner-occupied balances totaling $3,119 million in the table below comprise the retail trade commercial industry sector balance in Table 3.

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 increased $17$572 million in comparison to 20182019 year-end balances. Due to the nature of the cash flows typically used to repaybalances reflecting new fundings and draws on investor real estate loans, these loans are particularly vulnerable to weak economic conditions.construction lines.

Of the $8.8 billion home equity portfolio at June 30, 2019, approximately $5.6 billion were home equity lines of credit and $3.2 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.

Home Equity Loans
Home equity loans are also secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower's residence, are primarily originated as amortizing loans, and allow customers to borrow against the equity in their homes. Home equity loans decreased by $147 million in comparison to 2019 year-end balances. Substantially all of this portfolio was originated through Regions’ branch network.
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, home equity lines and home equity loans classes of the consumer portfolio segment. Current LTV data for some loans in the portfolio is not 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

61




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 lending, which is lending initiated through third-party business partners, largely consists of loans made through automotive dealerships. This portfolio class decreased $638$481 million from year-end 2018.2019. The decrease is due to the termination of a third-party arrangement during the fourth quarter of 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.business. Regions ceased originating new indirect auto loans in the first quarter of 2019 and completed any in-process indirect auto loan closings at the end of the second quarter of 2019. The Company will remain in the direct auto lending business.

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 dataFor more information on credit quality indicators refer to Note 3 "Loans and the Allowance 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 5 percent of the combined portfolios for both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Credit Losses" .
ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
In preparing financial information, management is required to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses for the periods shown. The accounting principles followed by Regions and the methods of applying these principles conform with GAAP, regulatory guidance (where applicable), and general banking practices. The allowance for credit losses (“allowance”)is one of the most significant estimates and assumptions to Regions. The allowance consists of two components: the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded credit commitments. DiscussionUnfunded credit commitments include items such as letters of credit, financial guarantees and binding unfunded loan commitments.

On January 1, 2020, Regions adopted CECL, which replaced the incurred loss allowance methodology used to calculate thewith an expected loss allowance is included inmethodology. See Note 1 “Summary"Basis of Significant Accounting Policies”Presentation", Note 3 "Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses" and Note 6 “Allowance13 "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" for Credit Losses” toinformation about CECL adoption, areas of judgment and methodologies used in establishing the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as well as related discussion in Management’s Discussion and Analysis.allowance.
The allowance foris sensitive to a number of internal factors, such as modifications in the mix and level of loan losses totaled $853 million at June 30, 2019 as compared to $840 million at December 31, 2018.balances outstanding, portfolio performance and assigned risk ratings. The allowance for loan lossesis also sensitive to external factors such as a percentage of net loans was 1.02% at June 30, 2019 compared to 1.01% at December 31, 2018.
The provision for loan losses increased by $133 million for the first six months of 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. During the first six months of 2018, lower than anticipated losses associated with certain 2017 hurricanes resulted in the releasegeneral health of the Company's $40 million hurricane-specific loan loss allowance, and the sale of $254 millioneconomy, as evidenced by changes in residential first mortgage loans consisting primarily of performing troubled debt restructured loans resulted in a $16 million net reduction to the provision for loan losses. Both of these factors, combined with broad-based improved credit metrics, resulted in a lower provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2018. Also contributing to the increase in the provision for loan losses were higher loan balances, higher net charge-offs, and the stabilization and normalization of credit during the first six months of 2019. The provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2019 was approximately $13 million greater than net charge-offs. Net charge-offs for the first six months of 2019 were approximately $24 million higher compared to the same period in 2018.
Management expects that net loan charge-offs will be in the 0.40 percent to 0.50 percent range for the 2019 year based on recent trends and current market conditions. Economic trends such as interest rates, GDP, unemployment rates, changes in real estate demand and values, volatility in commodity prices, bankruptcy filings, health pandemics, government stimulus, and collateral valuations willthe effects of weather and natural disasters such as droughts, floods and hurricanes.
Management considers these variables and all other available information when establishing the final level of the allowance. These variables and others have the ability to result in actual credit losses that differ from the originally estimated amounts.
Since the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, Regions has increased the allowance by $1.0 billion from $1.4 billion to $2.4 billion, which represents management's best estimate of expected losses over the life of the loan and credit commitment portfolios. Key drivers of the change in the allowance are presented in Table 11 below. While many of these items overlap regarding impact, they are included in the category most relevant.

There continues to be a significant amount of uncertainty surrounding the economic environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Elevated unfavorable credit metrics and charge-offs, deferrals and forbearances, continued low consumer spending and the potential for a second wave of the pandemic are all negative signs of the current economic landscape. Conversely, unprecedented stimulus is working its way through the economic system, with early signs that the deferral programs are working (as evidenced by a high savings rate). Consumers entered the COVID-19 crisis in a stronger position compared to the economic downturn in 2007 and, with the unemployment stimulus, many on unemployment have higher cash flows than when they were employed. Additionally, mortgage LTVs and the HPI are holding up well. As the credit risk within Regions' loan portfolio continues to be

evaluated going into the second half of 2020, the negative and positive factors of the ever-evolving economic landscape were considered in determining the allowance estimate.
Credit metrics are monitored throughout the quarter in order to understand external macro-views of credit metrics, trends and industry outlooks as well as Regions' internal specific views of credit metrics and trends. The second quarter of 2020 exhibited continued signs of economic stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as commercial and investor real estate criticized balances increased approximately $1.7 billion and classified balances increased $491 million compared to the first quarter. Non-performing loans excluding held for sale decreased $24 million compared to the first quarter; however, total net charge-offs increased $59 million during the second quarter. Approximately $8.4 billion of commercial and investor real estate loans are in COVID-19 high-risk industry segments. These high-risk industries include energy, freight transportation, healthcare, other consumer services, restaurants, retail, travel and leisure, hotels and retail commercial real estate. Refer to the "Portfolio Characteristics" section for more information about the high-risk industries.
Regions purchased Ascentium, an independent equipment financing company on April 1, 2020. The purchase included approximately $1.9 billion in loans and leases to small businesses, of which approximately 46% were considered to be PCD. Regions considered loan payment status, COVID-19 deferral status, and loans in high-risk industries in COVID-19 highly-impacted states in its determination of PCD. The Ascentium acquisition resulted in $136 million in additional allowance in the second quarter, of which $76 million was recorded through the provision for credit losses and the remaining $60 million was for acquired PCD loans and did not impact the futureprovision for credit losses. See the "Ascentium Acquisition" section for more information.
Changes in the macroeconomic environment can be extremely impactful to the allowance estimate under CECL. Regions' economic forecast utilized in the January 1, 2020 allowance estimate upon adoption of CECL considered a relatively benign economic environment. The forecast utilized in the March 31, 2020 allowance estimate considered a more stressed economic environment due to COVID-19 pandemic based on early stage pandemic information. The economic forecast utilized in the June 30, 2020 allowance estimate included further deterioration primarily due to higher levels of net charge-offsunemployment. Refer to the Economic Outlook section for more information. Regions benchmarked its internal forecast with external forecasts and external data available.
Risks to the economic forecast included a high degree of uncertainty around how wide the COVID-19 pandemic could spread, how long it could persist, and the effectiveness of government relief programs and debt payment relief being provided by the Company. Also, the unique nature of the COVID-19 economic environment produced unintuitive modeled results due to sensitivity to the unemployment forecasts, specifically the transient spike in unemployment rates. The CECL models are not built or conditioned to reflect the unprecedented levels of stimulus and cannot anticipate (or connect) the new relationships between economic variables and portfolio risks that exist in the current environment. There were several points of analysis used to inform appropriate model adjustments for economic uncertainty. Industry-level stress analyses were also performed on industries most acutely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Refer to the "Portfolio Characteristics" section for more information about COVID-19 impacted industries. These economic uncertainties and model limitations were evaluated and resulted in a reduction to the modeled life of loan loss estimate.
While Regions' quantitative allowance methodologies strive to reflect all risk factors, any estimate involves assumptions and uncertainties resulting in some level of imprecision. The qualitative framework has a general imprecision component which is meant to acknowledge that model and forecast errors are inherent in any modeling estimate. The June 30, 2020 general imprecision allowance considered the incremental risk specific to COVID-19 payment deferrals and delinquency trends for certain consumer models that are not economically conditioned and as such does not fully consider these impacts.
The components of the changes in the ACL during 2020 are reflected in Table 11 above. The decrease in ACL related to portfolio runoff for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to a reduction in indirect–other consumer and credit card balances which carry a relatively higher allowance. Additionally, first quarter growth in commercial loans occurred in lower risk rating tranches, while balance runoff occurred in higher risk rating tranches.
The table below reflects a range of macroeconomic factors utilized in the Base forecast over the two-year R&S forecast period as of June 30, 2020. The unemployment rate is the most significant macroeconomic factor among the CECL models. As noted above, the June 30, 2020 allowance includes a reduction to the modeled Base forecast to adjust for over-sensitivity within the models, specifically for unemployment.

Based on the overall analysis performed, management deemed an increase in the allowance of $760 million as compared to March 31, 2020 to be appropriate to absorb expected credit losses in the loan and credit commitment portfolios as of June 30, 2020.
In June 2020, the Federal Reserve disclosed their estimated modeled credit losses for Regions as a part of the supervisory stress test. The Federal Reserve's economic scenario resulted in estimated losses for Regions of $5.3 billion. Whereas this scenario assumed a different macroeconomic outlook than Regions', it may resultrepresent a possible range of potential credit losses assuming a longer-term, widespread pandemic. As a point of clarification, the Federal Reserve's scenario assumes severe deterioration across both business services (commercial and investor real estate) and consumer portfolios, while Regions assumes deterioration mainly in volatilitythe business services portfolio. Additionally, the Federal Reserve's estimate includes no benefit of government stimulus or benefit from debt payment relief being offered by Regions and other financial institutions. See the "Second Quarter Overview" section for further information regarding the Company's economic outlook.
Changes in the factors used by management to determine the appropriateness of the allowance or the availability of new information could cause the allowance to be increased or decreased in future periods. In addition, bank regulatory agencies, as part of their examination process, may require changes in the level of allowance based on their judgments and estimates. Volatility in certain credit metrics during the remainder of 2019.is to be expected. Additionally, changes in circumstances related to individually large credits, commodity prices, or certain portfoliosmacroeconomic forecast assumptions may result in volatility. The scenarios discussed above, or other scenarios, have the ability to result in actual credit losses that differ, perhaps materially, from the originally estimated amounts. In addition, it is difficult to predict how changes in economic conditions, including changes resulting from various pandemic scenarios, the impact of government stimulus, and other relief programs could affect borrower behavior. This analysis is not intended to estimate changes in the overall allowance, which would also be influenced by the judgment management applies to the modeled loss estimates to reflect uncertainty and imprecision based on then-current circumstances and conditions.
Details regarding the allowance and net charge-offs, including an analysis of activity from the previous year’s totals, are included in Table 7 “Allowance13 "Allowance for Credit Losses." As noted above, economic trends such as interest rates, unemployment, volatility in commodity prices and collateral valuations as well as the length and depth of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the CARES Act and other policy accommodations will impact the future levels of net charge-offs and may result in volatility of certain credit metrics during the remainder of 2020 and beyond.
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 CECL approach, 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. As provided in the CARES Act passed into law on March 27, 2020, certain loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic beginning March 1, 2020 are eligible for relief from TDR classification. Regions elected this provision of the CARES Act; therefore, modified loans that met the required guidelines for relief are not considered TDRs and are excluded from the disclosures below.
Under Regions' COVID-19 deferral and forbearance programs, customer payments are deferred for a period of time, typically 90 days. During this time, a customer's loan is not considered past due and continues to accrue interest (unless it is a nonperforming loans). As of June 30, 2020, the initial 90-day deferral period had expired for a portion of COVID-19 modified loans. Upon expiration of the deferral period, customers may apply for additional relief or resume making payments on their loans. Repayment plans for the deferrals differ depending on the loan type and repayment ability of the borrower. The CARES Act relief and short-term nature of most COVID-19 deferrals precluded these modifications from being classified as TDRs as of June 30, 2020.

Table of Contents


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. Insignificant modifications are not considered TDRs. More detailed information is included in Note 3 "Loans and the Allowance Forfor 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 inflowsadditions 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 inflowsadditions 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 3 “Loans"Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses”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.

to comply with their present loan repayment terms. This is a likely estimate ofAt June 30, 2020, Regions estimates that the amount of commercial and investor real estate loans that have the potential to migrate to non-accrual status in the next quarter is within the range of $325 million to $475 million. The estimated range increased from the first quarter estimated range of $225 million to $350 million due to certain large dollar investor real estate, energy and natural resources, manufacturing and restaurant commercial loans that represent potential for migration in the third quarter.
In order to arrive at the estimateestimated range of potential problem loans for the next quarter, credit personnel forecast certain larger dollar loans that may potentially be downgraded to non-accrual at a future time, depending onupon the occurrence of future events. These personnel consider aA variety of factors are included in the assessment of potential problem loans, including thea 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, forFor other loans (for example, smaller dollar loans), a trend analysis is also incorporated to determine thean estimate of potential future downgrades. In addition, the economic environment and industry trends are evaluated in the establishment of the estimated range of potential problem loans for the next quarter. Current trends will additionally influence the size of the estimated range. Because of the inherent uncertainty in forecasting future events, the estimateestimated range of potential problem loans ultimately represents the estimated aggregate dollar amounts of loans, as opposed to an individual listing of loans.
The majorityMany 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 3 “Loans"Loans and the Allowance for Credit Losses”Losses" to the consolidated financial statements.

GOODWILL
Goodwill totaled $5.2 billion at June 30, 2020 and $4.8 billion at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and is allocated2019. The increase was related to eachthe Company's acquisition of Regions’ reportable segments (each a reporting unit), at which level goodwill is tested for impairmentAscentium during the second quarter of 2020.
Based on an annual basis or more often ifrecent events and circumstances, indicateRegions concluded that a triggering event had occurred in the second quarter which required Regions to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The results of the test did not require Regions to record a goodwill impairment charge as all three reporting units continued to have a fair value in excess of book value. Regions will continue to monitor for indicators of impairment throughout 2020. Refer to Note 5 "Goodwill" to the reporting unit may have declined below the carrying value (referconsolidated financial statements for further information.

The result of the assessment performed for the second quarter of 2019 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, 2019 interim period.unit.
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.

These increases were partially offset by decreases in non-interest bearingcorporate treasury other deposits and customer time deposits. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits increased as customers began to pay down line of credit draws using liquidity sources outside of the bank and brought the elevated cash levels back to Regions. Savings, interest-bearing transaction and savingsdomestic money market categories increased due to customers choosing to keep excess cash from government stimulus and funds from PPP loans in their deposit accounts. While slowingAdditionally, lower consumer spend due to the economic environment impacted increased balances. Customer time deposits decreased due to maturities during the second quarter, and lower rates during the second quarter drove a decrease in the utilization of time deposit accounts. Corporate treasury other deposits decreased as these deposits were used to supplement incremental balance sheet funding at year-end 2019, but were not utilized at the end of the second quarter of 2019, the Company was impacted by deposit remixing from lower cost to higher cost or wholesale products during the first six months2020.

Table of 2019, which was influenced by market interest rate levels during the period. Money market and time deposit balances increased due to the offering of higher acquisition rates, portfolio remixing, and overall account growth. The non-interest-bearing demand decline was primarily due to customers using liquidity to pay down debt or invest in their businesses, as well as portfolio remixing. The decline in interest-bearing deposits was due to the Company's intentional reduction of certain higher cost deposits, and also impacted by a deposit optimization initiative that was executed by the Company during the second quarter. Corporate Treasury time deposits were increasingly used by the Company primarily to supplement balance sheet funding needs.Contents

Short-term secured borrowings, such as securities sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances, are a core portion of Regions'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""Liquidity" section for further detail of Regions' borrowing capacity with the FHLB.

Long-term borrowings decreased by approximately $1.5 billion since year-end 2019, due primarily to the decrease in FHLB advances of $2.1 billion, partially offset by several other debt transactions. As mentioned above in the "Short-Term Borrowings" section, the increase in deposits also reduced the need for long-term borrowings from the FHLB. See the "Liquidity" section for further detail of Regions' borrowing capacity with the FHLB. In the second quarter of 2020, Regions issued $750 million of senior notes due 2025. The issuance was largely offset by a partial tender of the two Regions Bank Senior Notes due April 2021. In conjunction with the partial tender of the two senior bank notes and early terminations of FHLB advances, Regions incurred related early extinguishment pre-tax charges totaling $6 million. Lastly, through the Ascentium acquisition, Regions acquired securitized borrowings, which the Company will manage within its broader liability management process and in line with the allowable terms of the contracts.
Long-term FHLB advances have a weighted-average interest rate of 0.55 percent at June 30, 2020 and 1.9 percent at December 31, 2019, with remaining maturities ranging from less than 1 year to 8 years and a weighted-average of less than 1 year.
The Ascentium note securitizations have various classes and have a weighted-average interest rate of 2.25% as of June 30, 2020, with remaining maturities ranging from 4 years to 7 years and a weighted-average of 6.2 years.

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. Additional discussion of the Basel III Rules, their applicability to Regions, recent proposals and final rules issued by the federal banking agencies and recent laws enacted that impact regulatory requirements is included in the "Regulatory Requirements" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis in the 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional discussion is also included in Note 1413 "Regulatory Capital Requirements and Restrictions" to the consolidated financial statements in the 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In late March 2020, the federal banking agencies published an interim final rule related to revised transition of the impact of CECL on regulatory capital requirements.  The rule allows an add-back to regulatory capital for the impacts of CECL for a two-year period.  At the end of the two years, the impact is then phased-in over the following three years.  The add-back is calculated as the impact of initial adoption, adjusted for 25 percent of subsequent changes in the allowance. This amount was approximately $613 million at June 30, 2020, an increase of $175 million from March 31, 2020. The impact of the addback on the CET1 ratio was approximately 56 basis points at June 30, 2020, an increase of 16 basis points from March 31, 2020.

(1) The current quarter Basel III CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital, Total capital, and Leverage capital ratios are estimated.
LIQUIDITY COVERAGE RATIO
Regions is currently subjectIn the first quarter of 2020, the Federal Reserve finalized the stress capital buffer framework which, when implemented in October 2020, will create a firm-specific risk sensitive buffer to be applied to regulatory minimum capital levels in determining effective minimum ratio requirements. The stress capital buffer will be floored at 2.5% to ensure effective minimum capital levels do not decline as a result of this rule change. When implemented, the Basel III-based U.S. LCR rule,stress capital buffer will replace the current Capital Conservation Buffer, which is a quantitative liquidity metric designedstatic 2.5% in addition to ensurethe minimum risk-weighted asset ratios shown above.
During the second quarter of 2020, the Federal Reserve released the results of its supervisory stress test and indicated that a coveredRegions exceeded all minimum capital levels under the severely adverse scenario. Regions' preliminary stress capital buffer requirement for the fourth quarter of 2020 through the third quarter of 2021, as determined by the Federal Reserve, is 3.0%, representing the amount of capital degradation under the supervisory severely adverse scenario, inclusive of four quarters of planned common stock dividends. Regions' final stress capital buffer is to be determined by August 31, 2020.
The Federal Reserve approved its rule for tailoring enhanced prudential standards for 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, havingholding companies with $100 billion or more but less than $250 billion in total consolidated assetsassets.  The framework outlines tailored standards for matters related to capital and less than $10 billionliquidity.  Regions is a "Category IV" institution under these rules.  See the “Supervision and Regulation” subsection of the “Business” section in total on-balance sheet foreign exposure. However,the 2019 Annual Report on October 31, 2018,Form 10-K for more information.

LIQUIDITY
Regions maintains a robust liquidity management framework designed to effectively manage liquidity risk in accordance with sound risk management principals, as well as regulatory requirements as applicable to Regions' Category IV status under the Federal Reserve, the OCCtailoring rules. Regions' framework establishes sustainable processes and tools to effectively identify, measure, mitigate, monitor, and report liquidity risks beginning with Regions’ Liquidity Management Policy and the FDIC proposed rules that would, among other things, make institutions suchLiquidity Risk Appetite Statements approved by the Board. Processes within the liquidity management framework include, but are not limited to, liquidity risk governance, cash management, cash flow forecasting, liquidity stress testing, liquidity risk limits, contingency funding plans, and collateral management.  The framework is designed to simultaneously meet the expectations of regulations, as Regionswell as be aligned with less than $250 billion in total consolidated assets no longer subject to the LCR requirement. The LCR rule also imposes a monthly calculation requirement. 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 with results from the fourth quarter of 2018.
At June 30, 2019, the Company was fully compliant with the LCR requirements. Changes in theRegions' business mix and size ofoperating model and their impact to liquidity management.
See 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.

On July 30, 2019, Fitch Ratings upgraded its short-term default ratingApril 3, 2020, Moody's revised outlooks for Regions Bank and Regions Financial Corporation to F1stable from F2.positive citing expectations for a contracting economy in 2020 which is expected to have a direct negative impact on U.S. banks' asset quality and profitability.
On April 9, 2020, Fitch also upgraded its short-term deposit ratingrevised the outlook for Regions BankFinancial Corporation to F1stable from F2. Fitch attributedpositive as part of an overall revision of its U.S. bank sector and rating outlook. Revision to the upgrade to changes in its short-term ratings criteria, while also referencingoverall outlook was driven by concerns over the Company’s robust liquidity managementnegative financial and funding profile. Furthermore, Fitch viewedeconomic impacts from the Company’s liquidity stress testing process as supportive of the rating given the measurement and monitoring of liquidity outflow coverage under various stress scenarios and time horizons.COVID-19 pandemic.
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, 20182019 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”, "ending total loans excluding PPP, net", "ACL to adjusted ending total loans ratio", “adjusted efficiency ratio,”ratio”, “adjusted fee income ratio,”ratio”, “return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity,” on a consolidated and continuing operations basis,shareholders' equity”, and end of period “tangible common stockholders’ equity,” and “Basel III CET1, on a fully phased-in basis”shareholders’ equity”, 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 averageAverage total loans isare 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 exit portfolio to arrive at adjusted average total loans (non-GAAP). Regions believes adjusting average total loans provides a meaningmeaningful calculation of loan growth rates and presents them on the same basis as that applied by management.
Ending total loans are presented excluding loan balances related to loans originated through the SBA's PPP program. Regions believes the related ACL to adjusted ending loans ratio provides meaningful information about credit loss allowance levels when the SBA's PPP loans, which are fully backed by the U.S. government, are excluded from total loans.
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 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’shareholders’ 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,CET1, the calculation of which is codified in federal banking regulations. Analysts and banking regulators have assessed Regions’ capital adequacy using the tangible common stockholders’shareholders’ equity measure. Because tangible common stockholders’shareholders’ 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’shareholders’ equity, Regions believes that it is useful to provide investors the ability to assess Regions’ capital adequacy on this same basis.
The calculation of the fully phased-in pro-forma "Common equity Tier 1" (CET1) is based on Regions’ understanding of the Final Basel III requirements. For Regions, the Basel III framework became effective on a phased-in approach starting in 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' July 2019 final rule to revise and simplify the capital treatment of selected categories of assets is effective April 1, 2020. 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 the fully phased-in capital rules, this pro-forma measure is considered to be a non-GAAP financial 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 the ability to assess Regions’ capital adequacy on this 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.shareholders.
The following tables provide: 1) a reconciliation of average total loans to adjusted average total loans (non-GAAP), 2) a reconciliation of ending total loans to ending total loans excluding PPP loans and a computation of ACL to ending loans excluding PPP loans, 3) a reconciliation of net income (loss) (GAAP) to net income (loss) available to common shareholders (GAAP), 3)4) a reconciliation of non-interest expense from continuing operations (GAAP) to adjusted non-interest expense from continuing operations (non-GAAP), 4)5) a reconciliation of net interest income/margin, taxable equivalent basis (GAAP) to adjusted net interest income/margin, taxable equivalent basis (non-GAAP), 6) a reconciliation of non-interest income from continuing operations (GAAP) to adjusted non-interest income from continuing operations (non-GAAP), 5)7) a computation of adjusted total revenue (non-GAAP), 6)8) a computation of the adjusted efficiency ratio (non-GAAP), 7)9) a computation of the adjusted fee income ratio (non-GAAP), 8)and 10) a reconciliation of average and ending stockholders’shareholders’ equity (GAAP) to average and ending tangible common stockholders’shareholders’ 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).

utilization on commercial credit lines. Net interest income also benefited from the execution of the Company's interest rate hedging strategy. The hedges are designed to protect net interest income in a low short-term interest rate environment, such as the one that currently exists, and had a positive impact of approximately $69 million for the first six months of 2020, of which $60 million was realized in the three months ended June 30, 2020.
The declines in net interest margin for the second quarter 2020 and the first six months of 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019, were primarily driven by elevated liquidity levels, increases in loan balances due to PPP lending, the Company's equipment finance company acquisition and increased utilization on commercial credit lines.
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. Given low market rates by historical standards, the Company continues to present the minus 100 basis pointfocuses on a falling rate shock as well asscenario with most yield curve tenors floored near zero and a larger magnitude down rate scenarioreduction in mortgage indices based on historical yield curve minimums as explained in the 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—As of June 30, 2019,2020, Regions was modestly asset sensitive to both gradual and instantaneous parallel yield curve shifts as compared to the base case for the measurement horizon ending June 2020. Twelve month horizon2021. The second quarter showed strong balance sheet growth, particularly in low-cost deposits and cash balances held with the Federal Reserve. These trends increase reported asset sensitivity levelslevels; however, they are expected to decline through early 2020 as forward starting hedges move into the measurement window. normalize over time.
The estimated exposure associated with the parallel yield curve shift of minus 100 basis pointsfalling rate scenarios 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 resulted in a modest increase in deposit and other funding costs for Regions. Therefore,Under that environment, it is expected that declines in funding costs and increases in balance sheet hedging income will only partiallycompletely offset the decline in asset yields. Therefore, net interest income sensitivity to short-term rates is approximately neutral. Net interest income remains exposed to longer yield curve tenors. 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.
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 $96 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 $127 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. These forward starting hedging relationships, which primarily begin in early 2020, are being used to protect net interest income and other financing income as the macroeconomic cycle continues to evolve. Therefore, the Company'sTwelve-month horizon asset sensitivity levels are expected to continue to decline through early 2020.2020 as forward starting hedges move completely into the measurement window and recent balance sheet growth begins to normalize. More information regarding forward starting hedges is disclosed in Table 1926 and its accompanying description.

As market interest rates have increased in recent years, larger than 100 basis point magnitude falling rate shockRegions had established 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, equatesequated to the lesser of -200 basis points,the shock scenario amount, or a rate modestly35 basis points lower than the historical all-time minimum. This providesRecent market volatility and new historic lows established for longer yield curve tenors have resulted in a sufficiently punitiveshock scenario where the majority of rates now fall to approximately zero. Mortgage rates, which have retained somewhat elevated levels, are still being shocked in the manner previously described. Further, the scenarios presented do not allow for negative rates. The falling rate environment, while maintaining a higher level of reasonableness. The -200 basis points (floored) scenarioscenarios in Table 1825 above quantifiesquantify the expected impact for theboth gradual and instantaneous shockshocks under this environment.
As discussed above, the interest rate sensitivity analysis presented in Table 1825 is informed by a variety of assumptions and estimates regarding the courseprogression 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 thatwhich 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 growthnormalization 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 - 100 basis point gradual interestbase case scenario and falling rate change scenarioscenarios in Table 18, the25, interest-bearing deposit re-pricing sensitivity over the 12 month horizon is expected to be between 30 percent and 35 percent of changes in short-term market rates (e.g., Fed Funds). A 5 percentage point lower sensitivity than the baseline assumption would decrease 12 month net interest income and other financing income in the gradual -100 basis points scenario by approximately $24 million when compared to the baseline scenario. 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.
achieve historical lows. In rising rate scenarios only, management assumes that the mix of deposits will change versus the baselinebase case balance sheet growth assumptions as 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 and equates to approximately $1.5$2.5 billion over 12 months in the gradual +100 basis point scenario in Table 18. In25. While estimates should be used as a guide, differences may result driven by the event this shift increased by an additional $1.5 billion over 12 months, the result would be a reductionpace of 12 month net interest incomerate changes, and other financing income in the gradual +100 basis points scenario by approximately $10 million.

market competitive factors.
Interest rate movements may also have an impact on the value of Regions’ securities portfolio, which can directly impact the carrying value of stockholders’shareholders’ 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:

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 hedging 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, 20182019 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.operations.
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 9 “Derivative"Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities”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.
LIBOR Transition - In 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that by the end of 2021, panel banks will no longer be required to submit estimates that are used to construct LIBOR, confirming that the continuation of LIBOR will not be guaranteed beyond that date.  Regions holds instruments that may be impacted by the likely discontinuance of LIBOR, including loans, investments, hedgingderivative products, floating-rate obligations, and other financial instruments that use LIBOR as a benchmark rate. The Company cannot currently predict the full impact of the LIBOR discontinuation on net interest income and other financing income or the related processes. However, Regions is coordinating with regulators and industry groups to identify an appropriate replacement rate for contracts expiring after 2021, as well as preparing for this transition as it relates to both new and existing exposures. The Company has established a LIBOR Transition Program, which includes dedicated leadership and staff, with all relevant business lines and support groups engaged. An initial LIBOR impactAs part of this program, the Company continues to identify, assess, and risk assessment has been performed, which identifiedmonitor risks associated with the associated risks across products, systems, models,discontinuation, unavailability, or non-representativeness of LIBOR. Regions is also coordinating with regulatory agencies and processes. Plansindustry groups to identify appropriate alternative rates for contracts expiring after 2021, and preparing for this transition as it relates to both new and existing exposures. Significant uncertainty remains; however, steps to mitigate risks associated with the transition are under development and are being overseen by Regions’ Executive LIBOR Steering Committee as partCommittee. Continuing activities of the LIBOR Transition Program.Program include facilitating the transition of all financial and strategic processes, systems, and models; performing assessments of the transition’s impact to contracts and products; evaluating necessary operational and infrastructure enhancements to implement alternative benchmark rates; and coordinating communications with customers.

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.MSRs. 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. TheRegions maintains strong liquidity coverage ratio rulelevels that position the Company to respond to stressed environments. As discussed below, Regions has a variety of liquidity sources, which it continues to utilize to fund customer needs.
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law as a response to the economic uncertainty amid the COVID-19 pandemic. A focus of the Act is designedthe establishment of federally guaranteed loans for small businesses under the PPP. Regions, a certified SBA lender, has and will continue to ensure that financial institutions haveassist its customers through the necessary assets on handprocess of utilizing this program. As a lending institution in this program, additional liquidity is available to withstand short-term liquidity disruptions. See the "Liquidity Coverage Ratio" discussion included inCompany through the "Regulatory Requirements" sectionFederal Reserve's Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility. As of Management's Discussion and Analysis for additional information.June 30, 2020, Regions has not used the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility.
Regions intends to fund its obligations primarily through cash generated from normal operations. Regions also has obligations related to potential litigation contingencies. See Note 12 “Commitments,"Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees”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’shareholders’ 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.needs in normal and stressed conditions. 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 $3.0$2.7 billion at June 30, 2019.2020. 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. These minimum requirements are informed by internal stress testing measures which are reflective of Regions' portfolio and business mix. The Bank's funding and contingency planning does not currently includeassume any reliance on short-term unsecured sources. Risk limits are established by the Board through its Risk Appetite Statement and Liquidity Policy. The Company's Board, LROC and ALCO regularly review 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 2 “Debt Securities” "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 relyassume reliance on short-term unsecured wholesale marketsources of 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, 2019,2020, Regions had approximately $2.5$11.5 billion in cash on deposit with the FRB, an increase from approximately $1.5$2.5 billion at December 31, 2018.2019, due to the significant increase in deposits associated with government programs offered in relation to COVID-19. Refer to the "Cash and Cash Equivalents" section for more information.

Regions’ borrowing availability with the FRB as of June 30, 2019,2020, based on assets pledged as collateral on that date, was $19.0$14.7 billion.
Regions’ financing arrangement with the FHLB adds additional flexibility in managing the Company's liquidity position. As of June 30, 2019,2020, Regions’ outstanding balance of FHLB borrowings was $7.4 billion$401 million and its total borrowing capacity from the FHLB totaled $17.4approximately $17.2 billion.

Additionally, investment in FHLB stock is required in relation to the level of outstanding borrowings. Refer to Note 8 "Other Earning Assets" to the consolidated financial statements in the 2018 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 Bank to issue up to $10 billion in aggregate principal amount of bank notes outstanding at any one time. Refer to Note 13 "Long-Term Borrowings"12 "Borrowings" to the consolidated financial statements in the 20182019 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 diversifiedvarious processes to manage credit risk as described below. In order to assess the risk profile of the loan portfolio, in terms of product type, collateral and geography. See Table 2 for further details of eachRegions considers risk factors within the loan portfolio segment.segments and classes, the current U.S. economic environment and that of its primary banking markets, as well as counterparty risk. See the “Portfolio Characteristics” section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 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 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 respond to evolving disruptive technology and 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.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Regions has experienced a modest increase in cyber events, such as phishing attacks and malicious traffic from outside the United States.  However, the Company's layered control environment has effectively detected and prevented any material impact related to these events.
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 and receives education to ensure that their oversight efforts accommodate for the ever-evolving information security threat landscape. 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 internal and third-party 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,Risk Management, and Internal Audit. The Board annually reviews the information security program and, 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. Regions 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 and minimize necessary recovery time. Some of Regions' financial risk exposure with respect to data breaches may be offset by applicable insurance.
Even if Regions successfully prevents cyber attacks to its own network, the Company may still incur losses that result from customers' account information being 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-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 FOR LOANCREDIT LOSSES
The provision for loancredit losses is used to maintain the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded credit losses at a level that in management’s judgment is appropriate to absorb probableexpected credit losses inherent inover the contractual life of the loan and credit commitment portfolio at the balance sheet date. Regions adopted CECL on January 1, 2020. Upon adoption, Regions classified the provision for unfunded credit losses as provision for credit losses. Prior to 2020, the provision for unfunded credit losses was included in non-interest expense. The provision for loancredit losses totaled $92$882 million in the second quarter of 20192020 compared to $60the provision for loan losses of $92 million during the second quarter of 2018.2019. The provision for loancredit losses totaled $183 million$1.3 billion for the first six months of 20192020 compared to $50the provision for loan losses of $183 million during the first six months of 2018.2019.

See Table 1 "Debt Securities" section for additional information.
Market value adjustments on employee benefit assets—Market value adjustments on employee benefit assets, both defined benefit and other, are the reflection of market value variations related to assets held for certain employee benefits. The adjustments reported as employee benefit assets - other are offset in salaries and benefits. Changes to market valuation adjustments in 2020 compared to 2019 are driven by the overall performance of the equity markets. The decrease in market valuation adjustments for the first six months of 2020 compared to 2019 is due to a decline in the equity markets in the first quarter of 2020. The markets somewhat recovered during the second quarter of 2020, leading to an increase compared to the second quarter of 2019. Furthermore, the Company repositioned its defined benefit employee benefits assets portfolio during the second quarter of 2019 into investments that are no longer subject to the volatility of the equity markets.
Other miscellaneous income—incomeOther miscellaneous income includes net revenue from affordable housing, valuation adjustments to equity investments, fees from safe deposit boxes, check fees and other miscellaneous income.

However, the second quarter of 2019 and the first six months of 2019 comparedCompany is subject to the same periods in 2018 primarily due to an increase in commercial leasing income, partially offset by decreases in the value of certain equity method investments. The first quarter of 2018 also included $7 million in net gains associated witha conventional post-issuance 180 day lock-up period, which prevents the sale of certain lowits position. Realized and unrealized gains and losses will be recognized within other miscellaneous income housing investments, while the first quarter of 2019 also included an $8 million gain associated with the sale of $167 million of affordable housing residential mortgage loans..

Net occupancy expense—Net occupancy expense includes rent, depreciation, ad valorem taxes, utilities, insurance, and maintenance. Net occupancy expense decreased in the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to lower maintenance expenses resulting from the shelter in place orders during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Furniture and equipment expense—Furniture and equipment expense includes depreciation, maintenance and repairs, rent, taxes, and other expenses of equipment utilized by Regions and its affiliates. Furniture and equipment expense increased during the first six months of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 primarily due to increases in rental expenses and maintenance and repairs related to investments in technology.
Outside Services—Outside services consists of expenses related to routine services provided by third parties, such as contract labor, servicing costs, data processing, loan pricing and research, data license purchases, data subscriptions, and check printing. Outside services decreased during the second quarter and the first six months of 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 due to Regions exiting a third party lending relationship in late 2019, combined with decreases in other outside services.
Credit/checkcard expenses—Credit/checkcard expenses include credit and checkcard fraud and expenses. Credit/checkcard expenses decreased during the second quarter and first six months of 2020 compared to the same periods in 2019 primarily due to a decline in checkcard fraud.
Branch consolidation, property and equipment charges—Branch consolidation, property and equipment charges include valuation adjustments related to owned branches when the decision to close them is made. Accelerated depreciation and lease write-off charges are recorded for leased branches through and at the actual branch close date. Branch consolidation, property and equipment charges also include costs related to occupancy optimization initiatives.
Visa class B shares expense—Visa class B shareshares expense is associated with shares sold in thea prior year. The Visa class B shares have restrictions tied to the finalization of certain covered litigation.

See the "Long-Term Borrowings" section for additional information.
Other miscellaneous expenses—Other miscellaneous expenses include expenses related to communications, postage, supplies, certain credit-related costs, foreclosed property expenses, mortgage repurchase costs, operational losses and other costs (benefits) related to employee benefit plans. Other miscellaneous expenses increaseddecreased during the second quarter and first six months of 20192020 compared to the same periodsperiod in 20182019 primarily due to an increaselower operational losses and declines in expenses related to non-service related pension costs associated with a lower discount rate as well as higher operational losses.costs.
INCOME TAXES
The Company’s income tax expensebenefit from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 20192020 was $93$47 million and $89compared to income tax expense of $93 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018,2019, resulting in effective taxestax rates of 18.3 percent and 19.4 percent, and 19.2 percent, respectively. IncomeThe income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $5 million compared to income tax expense from continuing operationsof $198 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was $198 million compared to income tax expense of $217 million for the same period in 2018, resulting in effective tax rates of 20.210.1 percent and 21.520.2 percent, respectively. The Company expectseffective tax rates are lower in both current year periods due primarily to a consistent level of permanent income tax preferences having a proportionally larger impact relative to pre–tax earnings, which were negatively impacted in the full-yearcurrent year because of the COVID–19 pandemic.
Many factors impact the effective tax rate will range from 20 percent to 22 percent for 2019 excluding 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 (loss), the mix of income (loss) 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.
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted CECL. This resulted in an adjustment to the opening balance of the allowance. The tax impact of this adjustment increased deferred tax assets by approximately $126 million. See Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
At June 30, 2019,2020, the Company reported a net deferred tax liability of $313$538 million compared to a net deferred tax assetliability of $20$328 million at December 31, 20182019. The changeincrease in the net deferred tax liability was primarily due primarily to a decreasean increase in unrealized gains on derivative instruments and available for sale securities, partially offset by an increase in the deferred tax asset related to unrealized gains and losses related to available for sale securities and derivative instruments.the allowance.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONSASCENTIUM ACQUISITION
On April 4, 2018,1, 2020, Regions entered into a stock purchase agreementcompleted its acquisition of an equipment finance company Ascentium Capital, LLC. The acquisition gives Regions the ability to sell Regions Insurance Group, Inc.increase business loans and related affiliatesleases to BB&T Insurance Holdings, Inc. The transaction closed on July 2, 2018. Morgan Keegan was sold on April 2, 2012.
Regions' results from discontinued operations are presented in Note 3 "Discontinued Operations" to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The results from discontinued operations for both the second quarter of 2019small business customers using Ascentium's tech-enabled same-day credit decision and 2018 were immaterial.

As a result of the acquisition Regions recorded approximately $2.4 billion of assets and assumed $1.9 billion of liabilities. Of the total assets acquired, $1.9 billion were loans and leases that are included in Regions' commercial and industrial loan portfolio. Of the liabilities assumed, $1.8 billion were long-term borrowings. Regions subsequently paid down a significant portion of the borrowings, as discussed below. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at estimated fair value.
These fair value estimates are considered preliminary as of June 30, 2020. Fair value estimates, including loans, intangible assets and goodwill, are subject to change for up to one year after the acquisition date as additional information becomes available.
Of the loans acquired, a portion were determined to be credit deteriorated on the date of purchase. Purchased loans that have experienced a more than insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination are considered to be credit deteriorated. PCD loans are initially recorded at purchase price less the ALLL recognized at acquisition. Subsequent credit loss activity is recorded within the provision for credit losses.
Regions recorded PCD loans of $873 million as a result of the acquisition, which was reflective of a purchase discount as the Company is not expected to collect the contractual cash flows of the loans. Regions recorded an ALLL related to these loans of $60 million, which was included in the total acquired asset value as part of the acquisition.
The non-credit discount related to Ascentium's PCD loans and the fair value mark on non-PCD loans will be amortized to interest income over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method. The amortization will not be material.
In conjunction with the acquisition, Regions recognized goodwill of $348 million and other intangible assets of $47 million. Intangible assets are comprised of trademarks, customer lists and other intangibles. Intangible assets will be amortized over the expected useful life of each recognized asset.
Subsequent to the acquisition, Regions paid down a significant portion of the long-term borrowings, and as of June 30, 2020, $459 million of long-term debt remained, which is associated with three securitizations. The securitization debt has various classes and associated maturity dates and has an effective interest rate of 2.25%. The Company will manage these securitized borrowings within its broader liability management process and in line with the allowable terms of the contracts.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Information required by this item is set forth in Note 12, “Commitments,"Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees”Guarantees" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) in Part I. Item 1. of this report, which is incorporated by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
An investment in the Company involves risk, some of which, including market, liquidity, credit, operational, legal, compliance, reputational and strategic risks, could be substantial and is inherent in our business. This risk also includes the possibility that the value of the investment could decrease considerably, and dividends or other distributions concerning the investment could be reduced or eliminated. Discussed below is a risk factor that could adversely affect Regions' financial results and condition, as well as the value of, and return on investment in the Company, that was not included in Part II, Item 1A of the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K as it arose after the filing.
Our business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations have been, and will likely continue to be, adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created economic and financial disruptions that have adversely affected, and are likely to continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations. We cannot predict at this time the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to negatively affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations. The extent of any continued or future adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and outside our control, including the scope and duration of the pandemic (including the possibility of resurgence of COVID-19 after initial abatement), the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on our employees, clients, customers, counterparties and service providers, as well as other market participants, and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to (i) increased unemployment and decreased consumer confidence and business generally, leading to an increased risk of delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures; (ii) sudden and significant declines, and significant increases in volatility, in financial markets; (iii) ratings downgrades, credit deterioration and defaults in many industries, including transportation, natural resources (in particular oil and gas), hospitality and commercial real estate; (iv) significant draws on credit lines as customers seek to increase liquidity; (v) significant reductions in the targeted federal funds rate (which was reduced to a target rate of between zero and 0.25% in the first quarter and may be reduced to below zero if the Federal Reserve determines economic conditions warrant); (vi) increased spending on our business continuity efforts, which may in turn require that we further cut costs and investments in other areas; and (vii) heightened cybersecurity, information security and operational risks as a result of work-from-home arrangements.In addition, we also face an increased risk of client disputes, litigation and governmental and regulatory scrutiny as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on market and economic conditions and actions governmental authorities take in response to those conditions.
We are prioritizing the safety of our customers and employees, and have temporarily closed a small number of branches and have limited branch activity to drive-through services or in-office appointments. Additionally, approximately 90% of non-branch associates are working remotely. If these measures are not effective in serving our customers or affect the productivity of our associates, they may lead to significant disruptions in our business operations.
Many of our counterparties and third-party service providers have also been, and may further be, affected by “stay-at-home” or similar orders, market volatility and other factors that increase their risks of business disruption or that may otherwise affect their ability to perform under the terms of any agreements with us or provide essential services. Even in areas in which stay-at-home or similar orders have been eased or lifted, resurgence of COVID-19 may require such measures to be re-imposed at a later time. As a result, our operational and other risks are generally expected to remain elevated until the pandemic subsides.
We have experienced an increase in cyber events, such as phishing attacks and malicious traffic from outside the United States.  Our layered control environment has effectively detected and prevented any material impact related to these events to date. Our information security risks are generally expected to remain elevated until the pandemic subsides.
We are offering special financial assistance to support customers who are experiencing financial hardships related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including waivers of certain withdrawal fees from time deposits and savings and money market accounts, loan payment deferrals and extensions, credit card payment extensions, consumer mortgage payment forbearance and payment deferment, suspending initiation of new repossessions of automobiles and other vehicles and suspending new residential property foreclosures on consumer real estate loans. If such measures are not effective in mitigating the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on borrowers, we may experience higher rates of default and increased credit losses in future periods.In addition, in many cases, the initial periods of payment deferrals, extensions, and forbearances may soon end, which may require us to provide additional assistance or lead to higher rates of default and increased credit losses.
Additionally, we are a certified and qualified SBA lender and have provided approximately $4.5 billion in PPP loans. These assistance efforts may adversely affect our revenue and results of operations and may make our results more difficult to forecast

as the PPPforgiveness process has just begun and the timing and amount of forgiveness to which our borrowers will be entitled cannot be predicted. The PPP and other government programs in which we may participate are complex and our participation may lead to governmental and regulatory scrutiny, negative publicity and damage to our reputation. Further, Regions has been named in lawsuits in connection with its participation in the PPP and may be named in additional lawsuits in the future
Certain industries where Regions has credit exposure, including restaurants (in particular, casual dining restaurants), hotels, agriculture, commercial retail, and transportation, have experienced significant operational challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. These negative effects have resulted in a number of corporate lending clients making higher than usual draws on outstanding lines of credit, which may negatively affect our liquidity if current economic conditions persist. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may also cause our commercial customers to be unable to pay their loans as they come due or decrease the value of collateral, which we expect would cause significant increases in our credit losses.The pandemic may also alter consumer behavior, including spending patterns. Accordingly, certain of these industries may continue to be negatively impacted even after the pandemic has subsided.
Our earnings and cash flows are dependent to a large degree on net interest income (the difference between interest income from loans and investments and interest expense on deposits and borrowings). Net interest income is significantly affected by market rates of interest. The significant reductions to the federal funds rate has led to a decrease in the rates and yields on U.S. Treasury securities. If interest rates are reduced further in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect that our net interest income will decline, perhaps significantly. The overall effect of lower interest rates cannot be predicted at this time and depends on future actions the Federal Reserve may take to increase or reduce the targeted federal funds rate in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and resulting economic conditions.
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic and market conditions have increased demands on our liquidity as we meet our customers’ and clients’ needs. During the third quarter of
2020, the Federal Reserve has required large banks, including Regions, to preserve capital by suspending share repurchases, capping dividend payments at the amount paid in the second quarter, and further limiting dividends according to a formula based on recent net income. In addition, the Federal Reserve is requiring large firms, including Regions, to update and resubmit their capital plans later this year to reflect current economic stresses. The Federal Reserve has indicated that it will evaluate these resubmitted plans and that it may extend the restrictions on capital actions on a quarter-by-quarter basis as the economic situation continues to evolve. We must comply with these restrictions and will otherwise continue to exercise prudent capital management and monitor the business environment. In particular, if the Federal Reserve extends the dividend restriction that is based on recent net income, and the pandemic continues or worsens, it may be difficult for us to maintain our dividend at its current level.
The COVID-19 pandemic may impact our assessment of our goodwill. During the second quarter of 2020, Regions concluded that a triggering event had occurred in the second quarter which required Regions to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The results of the test did not require Regions to record a goodwill impairment charge as all three reporting units continued to have a fair value in excess of book value. Risks to our goodwill assessment are generally expected to increase until the pandemic subsides.
Governmental authorities worldwide have taken unprecedented measures to stabilize the markets and support economic growth. The success of these measures is unknown and they may not be sufficient to address the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or avert severe and prolonged reductions in economic activity.
Other negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that may impact our business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations cannot be predicted at this time, but it is likely that our business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations will continue to be adversely affected until the pandemic subsides and the U.S. economy begins to recover. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Until the pandemic subsides, we expect continued draws on lines of credit, reduced revenues from our lending businesses, increased credit losses in our lending portfolios and decreased fee income. Even after the pandemic subsides, it is possible that the U.S. and other major economies continue to experience a prolonged recession, which we expect would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, capital and results of operations.
