Forward-Looking Statements

Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
national, regional and local economic conditions may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, increased charge-offs of loans, higher provisions for credit losses and/or reduced demand for the Company's services;
disruptions to the credit and financial markets, either nationally or globally, including downgrades of the U.S. government's credit rating and the failure of the European Union to stabilize the fiscal condition of member countries;globally;
weakness in the real estate market, including the secondary residential mortgage market, which can affect, among other things, the value of collateral securing mortgage loans, mortgage loan originations and delinquencies, and profits on sales of mortgage loans;
legislative, regulatory or accounting changes, including changes resulting from the adoption and implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act, which may adversely affect our business and/or competitive position, impose additional costs on the Company or cause us to change our business practices;
the Dodd-Frank Act'simpact of consumer protection regulations, which could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations;
including the CFPB's residential mortgage and other retail lending regulations, which could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations;
further instability ofvolatile or declining oil prices, which could have a negative impact on the economies and real estate markets of states such as Texas, resulting in, among other things, higher delinquencies and increased charge-offs in the energy lending portfolio as well as other commercial and consumer loan portfolios indirectly impacted by changes indeclining oil prices;
if the Bank's CRA rating whichwere to decline, that could result in certain restrictions on the Company's activities;
disruptions in the Company's ability to access capital markets, which may adversely affect its capital resources and liquidity;
the Company's heavy reliance on communications and information systems to conduct its business and reliance on third parties and affiliates to provide key components of its business infrastructure, any disruptions of which could interrupt the Company's operations or increase the costs of doing business;
that the Company's financial reporting controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or fraud;
the Company is subject to certain risks related to originating and selling mortgages. It may be required to repurchase mortgage loans or indemnify mortgage loan purchases as a result of breaches of representations and warranties, borrower fraud or certain breaches of its servicing agreements, and this could harm the Company's liquidity, results of operations and financial condition;
the Company's dependence on the accuracy and completeness of information about clients and counterparties;
the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies;
the failure to satisfy capital adequacy and liquidity guidelines applicable to the Company;

changes in interest rates which could affect interest rate spreads and net interest income;
costs and effects of litigation, regulatory investigations or similar matters;
a failure by the Company to effectively manage the risks the Company faces, including credit, operational and cyber security risks;

increased pressures from competitors (both banks and non-banks) and/or an inability by the Company to remain competitive in the financial services industry, particularly in the markets which the Company serves, and keep pace with technological changes;

changes in the creditworthiness of customers;
increased loan losses or impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets;intangibles;
potential changes in interchange fees;
negative public opinion, which could damage the Company's reputation and adversely impact business and revenues;
the Company has in the past and may in the future pursue acquisitions, which could affect costs and from which the Company may not be able to realize anticipated benefits;
the Company depends on the expertise of key personnel, and if these individuals leave or change their roles without effective replacements, operations may suffer;
the Company may not be able to hire or retain additional qualified personnel and recruiting and compensation costs may increase as a result of turnover, both of which may increase costs and reduce profitability and may adversely impact the Company's ability to implement the Company's business strategies; and
changes in the Company's accounting policies or in accounting standards which could materially affect how the Company reports financial results and condition.
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the time they are made and do not necessarily reflect the Company’s outlook at any other point in time. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or for any other reason. However, readers should carefully review the risk factors set forth in other reports or documents the Company files periodically with the SEC.

BBVA COMPASS BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1) Basis of Presentation
General
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and the methods of applying those policies that materially affect the consolidated financial statements conform with U.S. GAAP and with general financial services industry practices. The accompanying interim condensedunaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BBVA Compass Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the rulesinstructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and regulationsArticle 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the SECSecurities 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 U.S. GAAP.Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to determine if either recognition or disclosure of significant events or transactions is required.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, the most significant of which relate to the allowance for loan losses, goodwill impairment, fair value measurements and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Stock Compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The FASB issued this ASU to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions as part of its simplification initiative. The areas for simplification in this ASU involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU were effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014,, the FASB released ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of this codified guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this ASU were originally effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Subsequently, the FASB issued a one-year deferral for implementation, which results in the new guidance being effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB, however, permitted adoption of the new guidance on the original effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its selection of transition method. Because the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities accounted for under other U.S. GAAP, the Company does not expect the new revenue recognition guidance to have a material impact on the elements of its statement of income most closely associated with financial instruments, including securities gains, interest income and interest expense. The Company plans to adopt this standard utilizing a modified retrospective transition method in the first quarter of 2018.2018 and will be subject to expanded disclosure requirements upon adoption. The Company's implementation efforts include the identification of
Consolidation
In February 2015,revenue within the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments toscope of the Consolidation Analysis. The amendments in this ASU modifyguidance, as well as the evaluation of whether limited partnershipsrevenue contracts. While the Company has not yet identified any material changes in the timing of revenue recognition, the Company's review is ongoing and similar legal entities are variable interest entities or voting interest entities, eliminatecontinues to evaluate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with variable interest entities and provide a scope exception from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interest in certain investment funds. The amendments in this ASU were effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. To simplify presentation of debt issuancecertain contract costs the amendments in this ASU require debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be(whether presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendments in this ASU were effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial conditiongross or results of operations of the Company.
Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement

The Company does not have the intentintend to sell these securities and believesnor is it is not more likely than not thatmore-likely-than-not-that it will be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery.
The Company regularly evaluates each available for sale and held to maturity security in a loss position for OTTI. In its evaluation, the Company considers such factors as the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below cost, the financial condition of the issuer, the Company’s intent to hold the security to an expected recovery in market value and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will have to sell the security before its fair value recovers. Activity related to the credit loss component of the OTTI is recognized in earnings. The portion of OTTI related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Management does not believe that any individual unrealized loss in the Company’s investment securities available for sale or held to maturity portfolios, presented in the preceding tables, represents an OTTI at either September 30, 20162017 or December 31, 20152016, other than those noted below.
The following table discloses activity related to credit losses for debt securities where a portion of the OTTI was recognized in other comprehensive income.

(1)Covered loans represent loans acquired from the FDIC subject to loss sharing agreements. The loss sharing agreements provide for FDIC loss sharing for five years for commercial loans and 10 years for single family residential loans. The loss sharing agreement for commercial loans expired in the fourth quarter of 2014. In July 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with the FDIC to terminate the Company's single family residential loss share agreement ahead of the contractual maturity. Loans no longer covered under a loss share agreement were reclassified to their appropriate loan type.
At September 30, 2016, the Company considered its energy lending portfolio as a concentration due to the impact on this portfolio of declining oil prices that began in late 2014 and continued into 2016. Total energy exposure, including unused commitments to extend credit and letters of credit was $8.2 billion and $9.4 billion at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The funded amount of the Company's energy lending portfolio was approximately $3.3 billion and $3.8 billion at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and is reported in total commercial, financial and agricultural in the table above. The decline in oil prices has negatively impacted the financial results of many borrowers in the energy lending portfolio, leading to internal risk rating downgrades. If oil prices remain unstable or resume their decline, the energy-related portfolio may be subject to additional pressure on credit quality metrics including past due, criticized, and nonperforming loans, as well as net charge-offs.

Detailed information on the Company's allowance for loan losses methodology and the Company's impaired loan policy are included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.
The Company monitors the credit quality of its commercial portfolio using an internal dual risk rating, which considers both the obligor and the facility. The obligor risk ratings are defined by ranges of default probabilities of the borrowers, through internally assigned letter grades (AAA through D2) and the facility risk ratings are defined by ranges of the loss given default. The combination of those two approaches results in the assessment of the likelihood of loss and it is mapped to the regulatory classifications. The Company assigns internal risk ratings at loan origination and at regular intervals subsequent to origination. Loan review intervals are dependent on the size and risk grade of the loan, and are generally conducted at least annually. Additional reviews are conducted when information affecting the loan’s risk grade becomes available. The general characteristics of the risk grades are as follows:
The Company’s internally assigned letter grades “AAA” through “B-” correspond to the regulatory classification “Pass.” These loans do not have any identified potential or well-defined weaknesses and have a high likelihood of orderly repayment. Exceptions exist when either the facility is fully secured by a CD and held at the Company or the facility is secured by properly margined and controlled marketable securities.
Internally assigned letter grades “CCC+” through “CCC” correspond to the regulatory classification “Special Mention.” Loans within this classification have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close

attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Internally assigned letter grades “CCC-” through “D1” correspond to the regulatory classification “Substandard.” A loan classified as substandard is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the loan. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
The internally assigned letter grade “D2” corresponds to the regulatory classification “Doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable or improbable.
The Company considers payment history as the best indicator of credit quality for the consumer portfolio. Nonperforming loans in the tables below include loans classified as nonaccrual, loans 90 days or more past due and loans modified in a TDR 90 days or more past due.
The following tables, which exclude loans held for sale and covered loans, illustrate the credit quality indicators associated with the Company’s loans, by loan class.

Modifications to a borrower’sborrowers' loan agreementagreements are considered TDRs if a concession is granted for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties that otherwise would not be considered. Within each of the Company’s loan classes, TDRs typically involve modification of the loan interest rate to a below market rate or an extension or deferment of the loan. During the three months ended September 30, 2016,2017, $1.23.3 million of TDR

modifications included an interest rate concession and $36.5102.3 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications to the loan’s structure. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, $2.02016, $1.2 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $4.7$36.5 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications to the loan’s structure. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, $5.2 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $212.5 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications to the loan’s structure. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, $4.2 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $49.8 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications to the loan’s structure. During the nine

months ended September 30, 2015, $2.9 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $14.0 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications to the loan’s structure.

Charge-offs and changes to the allowance related to modifications classified as TDRs were approximately $20.3 million and $26.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, and 2015, charge-offs and changes to the allowance related to modifications classified as TDRs were not material.
The Company considers TDRs aged 90 days or more past due, charged off or classified as nonaccrual subsequent to modification, where the loan was not classified as a nonperforming loan at the time of modification, as subsequently defaulted.

The following tables provide a summary of initial subsequent defaults that occurred within one year of the restructure date. The table excludes loans classified as held for sale as of period-end and includes loans no longer in default as of period-end.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses is largely driven by updated risk ratings assigned to commercial loans, updated borrower credit scores on consumer loans, and borrower delinquency history in both commercial and consumer portfolios.  As such, the provision for loan losses is impacted primarily by changes in borrower payment performance rather than TDR classification.  In addition, all commercial and consumer loans modified in a TDR are considered to be impaired, even if they maintain their accrual status.
At September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016, there were $21.98.0 million and $5.712.6 million, respectively, of commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose terms have been modified in a TDR.
Foreclosure Proceedings
OREO totaled $22 million and $21 million at September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. OREO included $20$16 million and $17$18 million of foreclosed residential real estate properties at September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. As of September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, there were $29$59 million and $30$48 million, respectively, of residential real estate loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process.

(5)(4) Loan Sales and Servicing
Loans held for sale were $102$78 million and $71$162 million at September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.

Loans held for sale at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 20152017, were comprised entirely of residential real estate -— mortgage loans. Loans held for sale at December 31, 2016, were comprised of $57 million of commercial, financial and agricultural loans and $105 million of residential real estate — mortgage loans.
The following table summarizes the Company's activity in the loans held for sale portfolio and loan sales, excluding activity related to loans originated for sale in the secondary market.

(6)(2)Recorded under the fair value method and included in other assets on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of MSRs is significantly affected by mortgage interest rates available in the marketplace, which influence mortgage loan prepayment speeds. In general, during periods of declining rates, the fair value of MSRs declines due to increasing prepayments attributable to increased mortgage-refinance activity. During periods of rising interest rates, the fair value of MSRs generally increases due to reduced refinance activity. The Company maintains a non-qualifying hedging strategy to manage a portion of the risk associated with changes in the fair value of the MSR portfolio.  This strategy includes the purchase of various trading securities.  The interest income, mark-to-market adjustments and gain or loss from sale activities associated with these securities are expected to economically hedge a portion of the change in the fair value of the MSR portfolio.
The following table is an analysis of the activity in the Company’s MSRs.

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, 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, in this table, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption; while in reality, changes in one assumption may result in changes to another, which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

(6)(5) Derivatives and Hedging
The Company is a party to derivative instruments in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The

Company has made an accounting policy decision not to not offset derivative fair value amounts under master netting agreements. See Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016, for additional information on the Company's accounting policies related to derivative instruments and hedging activities. The following table reflects the notional amount and fair value of derivative instruments included on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis.

(1)Derivative assets, except for trading account assets that are recorded as a component of trading account assets on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are recorded in other assets on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(2)
Derivative liabilities are recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(3)Changes in fair value are cash settled daily; therefore, there is no ending balance at any given reporting period.
(4)In January 2017, a clearing organization adopted a rule change that requires transactions to be considered settled-to-market each day. Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, to the extent the Company determined transactions with this clearing organization to be settled-to-market, the impact was a reduction to the derivative assets and liabilities as well as a corresponding decrease in cash collateral.

Hedging Derivatives
The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the risk of earnings fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility. For those financial instruments that qualify and are designated as a hedging relationship, either a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge, the effect of interest rate movements on the hedged assets or liabilities will generally be offset by change in fair value of the derivative instrument.

Fair Value Hedges
The Company enters into fair value hedging relationships using interest rate swaps to mitigate the Company’s exposure to losses in value as interest rates change. Derivative instruments that are used as part of the Company’s interest rate risk management strategy include interest rate swaps that relate to the pricing of specific balance sheet assets and liabilities. Interest rate swaps generally involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two parties, based on a common notional principal amount and maturity date.
Interest rate swaps are used to convert the Company’s fixed rate long-term debt to a variable rate. The critical terms of the interest rate swaps match the terms of the corresponding hedged items. All components of each derivative instrument’s gain or loss are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
The Company recognized no gains or losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20162017 and 20152016, related to hedged firm commitments no longer qualifying as a fair value hedge. At September 30, 2016,2017, the fair value hedges had a weighted average expected remaining term of 4.4 years.4.2 years.
The following table reflects the change in fair value for interest rate contracts and the related hedged items as well as other gains and losses related to fair value hedges including gains and losses recognized because of hedge ineffectiveness.

Cash Flow Hedges
The Company enters into cash flow hedging relationships using interest rate swaps and options, such as caps and floors, to mitigate exposure to the variability in future cash flows or other forecasted transactions associated with its floating rate assets and liabilities. The Company uses interest rate swaps and options to hedge the repricing characteristics of its floating rate commercial loans and FHLB advances. The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates due to a portion of the money transfer expense being denominated in foreign currency. All components of each derivative instrument’s gain or loss are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The initial assessment of expected hedge effectiveness is based on regression analysis. The ongoing periodic measures of hedge ineffectiveness are based on the expected change in cash flows of the hedged item caused by changes in the benchmark interest rate. There werewas $202 thousand and $229 thousand of cash flow hedging losses recognized because of hedge ineffectiveness for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and there was no material cash flow hedging gains or losses recognized because of hedge ineffectiveness for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.2016. There were no gains or losses reclassified from other comprehensive income because of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges related to certain forecasted transactions that are probable of not occurring for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20162017 and 20152016.

At September 30, 2016,2017, cash flow hedges not terminated had a net fair value of $(7.4)(29.7) million and a weighted average life of 1.1 years.1.2 years. Net losses of $1.2$42.0 million are expected to be reclassified to income over the next 12 months as net settlements occur. The maximum length of time over which the entity is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 3.8 years.4.8 years.

The following table presents the effect of derivative instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges include those that are entered into as either economic hedges to facilitate client needs or as part of the Company’s overall risk management strategy or to facilitate client needs.strategy. Economic hedges are those that do not qualify to be treated as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or foreign currency hedge for accounting purposes, but are necessary to economically manage the risk exposure associated with the assets and liabilities of the Company.
The Company also enters into a variety of interest rate contracts, commodity contracts and foreign exchange contracts in its trading activities. The primary purpose for using these derivative instruments in the trading account is to facilitate customer transactions. The interest rate contract portfolio classified as trading is actively managed and hedged with similar products to limit market value risk of the portfolio. Changes in the estimated fair value of contracts in the trading account along with the related interest settlements on the contracts are recorded in noninterest income as corporate and correspondent investment sales in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company enters into forward contracts to economically hedge the change in fair value of certain residential mortgage loans held for sale due to changes in interest rates. Revaluation gains and losses from free-standing derivatives related to mortgage banking activity are recorded as a component of mortgage banking income in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Interest rate lock commitments issued on residential mortgage loan commitments to be held for resale are also considered free-standing derivative instruments, and the interest rate exposure on these commitments is economically hedged primarily with forward contracts. Revaluation gains and losses from free-standing derivatives related to mortgage banking activity are recorded as a component of mortgage banking income in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
In conjunction with the sale of its Visa, Inc. Class B shares in 2009, the Company entered into a total return swap in which the Company will make or receive payments based on subsequent changes in the conversion rate of the Class B shares into Class A shares. This total return swap is accounted for as a free-standing derivative.
The Company offers its customers equity-linked CDs that have a return linked to individual equities and equity indices. Under appropriate accounting guidance, a CD that pays interest based on changes in an equity index is a hybrid instrument that requires separation into a host contract (the CD) and an embedded derivative contract (written equity call option). The Company has entered into an offsetting derivative contract in order to economically hedge the exposure related to the issuance of equity-linked CDs. Both the embedded derivative and derivative contract entered into by the Company are classified as free-standing derivative instruments that are recorded at fair value with offsetting gains and

losses recognized within noninterest expense in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company also enters into foreign currency contracts to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates due to its funding of commercial loans in foreign currencies.

The net gains and losses recorded in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income from free-standing derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are summarized in the following table.

Derivatives Credit and Market Risks
By using derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to credit and market risk. If the counterparty fails to perform, credit risk is equal to the extent of the Company’s fair value gain in a derivative. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is positive, this generally indicates that the counterparty owes the Company and, therefore, creates a credit risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is negative, the Company owes the counterparty and, therefore, it has no credit risk. The Company minimizes the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties that are reviewed periodically. Credit losses are also mitigated through collateral agreements and other contract provisions with derivative counterparties.
Market risk is the adverse effect that a change in interest rates or implied volatility rates has on the value of a financial instrument. The Company manages the market risk associated with interest rate contracts by establishing and monitoring limits as to the types and degree of risk that may be undertaken.

The Company’s derivatives activities are monitored by its Asset/Liability Committee as part of its risk-management oversight. The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee is responsible for mandating various hedging strategies that are developed through its analysis of data from financial simulation models and other internal and industry sources. The resulting hedging strategies are then incorporated into the Company’s overall interest rate risk management and trading strategies.
Entering into interest rate swap agreements and options involves not only the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet the terms of the contracts but also interest rate risk associated with unmatched positions. At September 30, 2016,2017, interest rate swap agreements and options classified as trading were substantially matched. The

Company had credit risk of $534240 million related to derivative instruments in the trading account portfolio, which does not take into consideration master netting arrangements or the value of the collateral. There were no credit losses associated with derivative instruments classified as trading for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. There were $2.6 million and $2.5 million of net credit losses associated with derivative instruments classified as trading for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. There were $15 thousand and $9 thousand of net credit losses associated with derivative instruments classified as trading for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. At September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, there were no material nonperforming derivative positions classified as trading.
The Company’s derivative positions held fordesignated as hedging purposesinstruments are primarily executed in the over-the-counter market. These positions at September 30, 20162017, have credit risk of $10125 million, which does not take into consideration master netting arrangements or the value of the collateral.
There were no credit losses associated with derivative instruments classified as nontrading for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20162017 and 20152016. At September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016, there were no nonperforming derivative positions classified as nontrading.
As of September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016, the Company had recorded the right to reclaim cash collateral of $295108 million and $162103 million, respectively, within other assets on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and had recorded the obligation to return cash collateral of $3955 million and $4037 million, respectively, within deposits on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contingent Features
Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require the Company’s debt maintain a certain credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. If the Company’s debt were to fall below this rating, it would be in violation of these provisions, and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could demand immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on September 30, 20162017, was $6130 million for which the Company has collateral requirements of $6029 million in the normal course of business. If the credit risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had been triggered on September 30, 2016,2017, the Company’s collateral requirements to its counterparties would have increased byrequire an additional increase of $1 million. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on December 31, 20152016, was $4630 million for which the Company had collateral requirements of $4529 million in the normal course of business. If the credit risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had been triggered on December 31, 20152016, the Company’s collateral requirements to its counterparties would have increased by $1 million.
Netting of Derivative Instruments
The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparties for some of its derivative and hedging activities. The Company does not offset assets and liabilities under these master netting arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. The master netting arrangements provide for single net settlement of all derivative instrument arrangements, as well as collateral, in the event of default, or termination of, any one contract with the respective counterparties. Cash collateral is usually posted by the counterparty with a net liability position in accordance with contract thresholds.

The following table represents the Company’s total gross derivative instrument assets and liabilities subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. The derivative instruments the Company has with its customers are not subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement.

(76) Securities Financing Activities
Netting of Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
The Company has various financial asset and liabilities that are subject to enforceable master netting agreements or similar agreements. The Company's derivatives that are subject to enforceable master netting agreements or similar transactions are discussed in Note 6,5, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company enters into agreements under which it purchases or sells securities subject to an obligation to resell or repurchase the same or similar securities. Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and recorded at the amounts at which the securities were purchased or sold plus accrued interest. The securities pledged as collateral are generally U.S. Treasury securities and other U.S. government agencies, mortgage-backedagency securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.mortgage-backed securities.
Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are governed by a MRA. Under the terms of the MRA, all transactions between the Company and the counterparty constitute a single business relationship such that in the event of default, the nondefaulting party is entitled to set off claims and apply property held by that party in respect of any transaction against obligations owed. Any payments, deliveries, or other transfers may be applied against each other and netted. These amounts are limited to the contract asset/liability balance,

and accordingly, do not include excess collateral received or pledged. The Company offsets the assets and liabilities under netting arrangements for the balance sheet presentation of securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase provided certain criteria are met that permit balance sheet netting.

In the event of a significant decline in fair value of the collateral pledged for the securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the Company would be required to provide additional collateral. The Company minimizes the risk by monitoring the liquidity and credit quality of the collateral, as well as the maturity profile of the transactions.
At September 30, 2017, the fair value of collateral received related to securities purchased under agreements to resell was $552 million and the fair value of collateral pledged for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $392 million. At December 31, 2016, the fair value of collateral received related to securities purchased under agreements to resell was $4.0$3.1 billion and the fair value of collateral pledged for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $3.4 billion. At December 31, 2015, the fair value of collateral received related to securities purchased under agreements to resell was $5.2 billion and the fair value of collateral pledged for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $4.9$3.1 billion.
(8)(7) Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Standby and commercial letters of credit are commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions, and expire in decreasing amounts with terms ranging from one to four years.

The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit and commitments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The fair value of the letters of credit and commitments typically approximates the fee received from the customer for issuing such commitments. These fees are deferred and are recognized over the commitment period. At September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the recorded amount of these deferred fees was $6.9$7 million and $6.0$8 million, respectively. The Company holds various assets as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. At September 30, 2016,2017, the maximum potential amount of future undiscounted payments the Company could be required to make under outstanding standby letters of credit was $1.4 billion. At September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the Company had reserves related to letters of credit and unfunded commitments recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of $101$81 million and $85$77 million, respectively.
Loan Sale Recourse
The Company has potential recourse related to specific FNMA securitizations. At both September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the amount of potential recourse was $19 million of which the Company had reserved $680$766 thousand and $869$681 thousand, respectively, which is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the respective periods.
The Company also issues standard representations and warranties related to mortgage loan sales to government-sponsored agencies. Although these agreements often do not specify limitations, the Company does not believe that any payments related to these representations and warranties would materially change the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. At both September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the Company had $1 million and $2 million, respectively, of reserves in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to potential losses from loans sold.
Loss Sharing Agreement
In connection with the Guaranty Bank acquisition, the Bank entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC that covered approximately $9.7 billion of loans and OREO, excluding the impact of purchase accounting adjustments.FDIC. In accordance with the terms of the loss sharing agreements, the FDIC’s obligation to reimburse the Bank for losses with respect to the acquired loans and acquired OREO begins with the first dollar of incurred losses, as defined in the loss sharing agreements. The terms of the loss sharing agreements provide that the FDIC will reimburse the Bank for 80% of incurred losses up to $2.3 billion and 95% of incurred losses in excess of $2.3 billion. Gains and recoveries on covered assets offset incurred losses, or are paid to the FDIC, at the applicable loss share percentage at the time of recovery. The loss sharing agreements provide for FDIC loss sharing for five years for commercial loans and 10 years for single family residential loans. The loss sharing agreement for commercial loans expired in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The provisionsOn July 12, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with the FDIC to terminate the Company's loss share agreement ahead of the loss sharing agreements may also require a payment bycontractual maturity. Under the Bank to the FDIC on October 15, 2019. On that date, the Bank is required to pay the FDIC 60%terms of the excess, if any, of (i) $457 million over (ii) the sum of (a) 25% of the total net amounts paid to the Bank under both of the loss share agreements plus (b) 20% of the deemed total cost to the Bank of administering the covered assets under the loss sharing agreements. The deemed total cost to the Bank of administering the covered assets is the sum of 2% of the average of the principal amount of covered assets based on the beginning and end of year balances for each of the 10 years during which the loss sharing agreements are in effect. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015,agreement, the Company estimated the potential amountmade a net payment of payment due$132 million to the FDIC in 2019, at the endJuly as consideration for early termination of the loss sharing agreements, to be $147 millionshared-loss agreement and $145 million, respectively. The ultimate settlement amount of this payment due to the FDIC is dependent upon the performance of the underlying covered assets, the passage of time and actual claims submitted to the FDIC.
The Company has chosen to net the amounts due from the FDIC and due to the FDIC into the FDIC indemnification liability. AtThe termination resulted in a $1.8 million gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the FDIC indemnification liability was $136 million and $131 million, respectively, and2017 which was recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilitiesnoninterest income in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.Statements of Income.

The Company (including its subsidiaries) is or may become involved from time to time in information-gathering requests, reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by various governmental regulatory agencies, law enforcement authorities and self-regulatory bodies regarding the Company’s business. Such matters may result in material adverse consequences, including without limitation adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, orders, injunctions, alterations in the Company’s business practices or other actions, and could result in additional expenses and collateral costs, including reputational damage, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company owns all of the outstanding stock of BSI, a registered broker-dealer. Applicable law limits BSI from deriving more than 25 percent of its gross revenues from underwriting or dealing in bank-ineligible securities (“ineligible revenue”). Prior to the contribution of BSI to the Company in April 2013, BSI’s ineligible revenues in certain periods exceeded the 25 percent limit. The Company is cooperating with the Federal Reserve Board as it considers potential enforcement action against BSI and the Company including the imposition of civil money penalties or other actions.
There are other litigation matters that arise in the normal course of business. The Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where it is probable that the Company will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company

records a liability in its consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of loss is not reasonably estimable, the Company does not accrue legal reserves. At September 30, 2016,2017, the Company had accrued legal reserves in the amount of $30$2 million. Additionally, for those matters where a loss is both estimable and reasonably possible and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable, the Company estimates the amount of losses that it could incur beyond the accrued legal reserves. Under U.S. GAAP, an event is "reasonably possible"“reasonably possible” if "the“the chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote but less than likely"likely” and an event is "remote"“remote if "the“the chance of the future event or events occurring is slight." At September 30, 2016,2017, there were no such matters where a loss was both estimablereasonably possible and reasonably estimable, creating reasonably possible losses beyond the accrued legal reserve.reserves.
While the outcome of legal proceedings and the timing of the ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict, based on information currently available, advice of counsel and available insurance coverage, the Company believes that it has established adequate legal reserves. Further, based upon available information, the Company is of the opinion that these legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of those matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the Company’s results of operations for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the size of the loss or liability imposed and the operating results for the applicable period.

Income Tax Review
The Company is subject to review and examination from various tax authorities. The Company is currently under examination by a number of states, and has received notices of proposed adjustments related to state income taxes due for prior years. Management believes that adequate provisions for income taxes have been recorded.
(9)(8) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies the fair value accounting guidance required under ASC Topic 820 which establishes a framework for measuring fair value. This guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within this fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the instrument’s fair value measurement. The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are described as follows.
Level 1 – Fair value is based on quoted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Fair value is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3 – Fair value is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities would include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar pricing techniques based on the Company’s own assumptions about what market participants would use to price the asset or liability.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments under the fair value hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value. In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use observable market based parameters as inputs. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the Company’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as other unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value

calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, the reported fair value amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since the presentation dates, and, therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Trading account assets and liabilities, securities available for sale, certain mortgage loans held for sale, derivative assets and liabilities, and mortgage servicing rights are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies for these assets and liabilities.
Trading account assets and liabilities and investment securities available for sale – Trading account assets and liabilities and investment securities available for sale consist of U.S. Treasury securities and other U.S. government agenciesagency securities, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, debt obligations of state and political subdivisions, other debt and equity securities, and derivative contracts.
U.S. Treasury securities and other U.S. government agenciesagency securities are valued based on quoted market prices of identical assets on active exchanges (Level 1 measurements) or are valued based on a market approach

using observable inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, benchmark securities, and bids/offers of government-sponsored enterprise securities (Level 2 measurements).
Mortgage-backed securities are primarily valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including benchmark To Be Announced security prices, U.S. Treasury yields, U.S. dollar swap yields, and benchmark floating-rate indices. Mortgage-backed securities pricing may also give consideration to pool-specific data such as prepayment history and collateral characteristics. Valuations for mortgage-backed securities are therefore classified as Level 2 measurements.
Collateralized mortgage obligations are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including reported trades, bids, offers, dealer quotes, U.S. Treasury yields, U.S. dollar swap yields, market convention prepayment speeds, tranche-specific characteristics, prepayment history, and collateral characteristics. Fair value measurements for collateralized mortgage obligations are classified as Level 2.
Debt obligations of states and political subdivisions are primarily valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board reported trades, issuer spreads, material event notices, and benchmark yield curves. These valuations are Level 2 measurements.
Other debt and equity securities consist of mutual funds, foreign and corporate debt, and U.S. government agenciesagency equity securities. Mutual funds are valued based on quoted market prices of identical assets trading on active exchanges. These valuations are Level 1 measurements. Foreign and corporate debt valuations are based on information and assumptions that are observable in the market place. The valuations for these securities are therefore classified as Level 2. U.S. government agency equity securities are valued based on quoted market prices of identical assets trading on active exchanges. These valuations thus qualify as Level 1 measurements.
Other derivative assets and liabilities consist primarily of interest rate and commodity contracts. The Company’s interest rate contracts are valued utilizing Level 2 observable inputs (yield curves and volatilities) to determine a current market price for each interest rate contract. Commodity contracts are priced using raw market data, primarily in the form of quotes for fixed and basis swaps with monthly, quarterly, seasonal or calendar-year terms. Proprietary models provided by a third party are used to generate forward curves and volatility surfaces. As a result of the valuation process and observable inputs used, commodity contracts are classified as Level 2 measurements. To validate the reasonableness of these calculations, management compares the assumptions with market information.
Other trading assets primarily consist of interest-only strips which are valued by an independent third-party. The independent third-party values the assets on a loan-by-loan basis using a discounted cash flow analysis that employs prepayment assumptions, discount rate assumptions, and default curves. The prepayment assumptions are created from actual SBA pool prepayment history. The discount rates are derived from actual SBA loan secondary market transactions. The default curves are created using historical observable and

unobservable inputs. As such, interest-only strips are classified as Level 3 measurements. The Company’s SBA department is responsible for ensuring the appropriate application of the valuation, capitalization, and amortization policies of the Company’s interest-only strips. The department performs independent, internal valuations of the interest-only strips on a quarterly basis, which are then reconciled to the third-party valuations to ensure their validity.
Loans held for sale – The Company has elected to apply the fair value option for single family real estate mortgage loans originated for resale in the secondary market. The election allows 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. The Company has not elected the fair value option for other loans held for sale primarily because they are not economically hedged using derivative instruments.
The fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. The changes in fair value of these assets are largely driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding and changes in the fair value of servicing associated with the mortgage loan held for sale. Both the mortgage loans held for sale and the related forward contracts are classified as Level 2.

At both September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015, 2016, no material loans held for sale for which the fair value option was elected were 90 days or more past due or were in nonaccrual. Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is recognized based on contractual rates and is reflected in interest and fees on loans in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Net gains or (losses) of $(478)$98 thousand and $1.4 million$(478) thousand resulting from changes in fair value of these loans were recorded in noninterest income during the three months ended September 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. Net gains (losses) of $1.2 million and $2.1 million and $(651) thousand resulting from changes in fair value of these loans were recorded in noninterest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, respectively.
The Company also had fair value changes on forward contracts related to residential mortgage loans held for sale of approximately $1.1 million$(46) thousand and $(2.3)$1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. The Company also had fair value changes on forward contracts related to residential mortgage loans held for sale of approximately $(2.0) million and $1.7 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 20162017 and 2015, respectively.2016. An immaterial portion of these amounts was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.
The following table summarizes the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance for residential mortgage loans measured at fair value.

Derivative assets and liabilities – Derivative assets and liabilities are measured using models that primarily use market observable inputs, such as quoted security prices, and are accordingly classified as Level 2. The derivative assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy were comprised of interest rate lock commitments that are valued using third-party software that calculates fair market value considering current quoted TBA and other market based prices and then applies closing ratio assumptions based on software-produced pull through ratios that are generated using the Company’s historical fallout activity. Based upon this process, the fair value measurement obtained for these financial instruments is deemed a Level 3 classification. The Company's Secondary Marketing Committee is responsible for the appropriate application of the valuation policies and procedures surrounding the Company’s interest rate lock commitments. Policies established to govern mortgage pipeline risk management activities must be approved by the Company’s Asset/Asset Liability Committee on an annual basis.
Other assets - MSROtherA component of other assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy were comprised ofare MSRs that are valued through a discounted cash flow analysis using a third-party

commercial valuation system. The MSR valuation takes into consideration the objective characteristics of the MSR portfolio, such as loan amount, note rate, service fee, loan term, and common industry assumptions, such as servicing costs, ancillary income, prepayment estimates, earning rates, cost of fund rates, option-adjusted spreads, etc. The Company’s portfolio-specific factors are also considered in calculating the fair value of MSRs to the extent one can reasonably assume a buyer would also incorporate these factors. Examples of such factors are geographical concentrations of the portfolio, liquidity consideration, or additional views of risk not inherently accounted for in prepayment assumptions. Product liquidity and these other risks are generally incorporated through adjustment of discount factors applied to forecasted cash flows. Based on this method of pricing MSRs, the fair value measurement obtained for these financial instruments is deemed a Level 3 classification. The value of the MSR is calculated by a third-party firm that specializes in the MSR market and valuation services. Additionally, the Company obtains a valuation from an independent party to compare for reasonableness. The Company’s Secondary Marketing Committee is responsible for ensuring the appropriate application of valuation, capitalization, and fair value decay policies for the MSR portfolio. The Committee meets at least monthly to review the MSR portfolio.
Other assets - SBIC – A component of other assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are SBIC investments initially valued based on transaction price. The SBIC investments are valued initially based upon transaction price. Valuation factors such as recent or proposed purchase or sale of debt or equity of the issuer, pricing by other dealers in similar securities, size of position held, liquidity of the


market, and changes in economic conditions affecting the issuer, are used in the determination of estimated fair value. These SBIC investments are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy.

The following tables summarize the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Periodically, certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment. The following table representstables represent those assets that were subject to fair value adjustments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20162017 and 20152016, and still held as of the end of the period, and the related gains and losses from fair value adjustments on assets sold during the period as well as assets still held as of the end of the period.

Total gains (losses) represent charge-offs on impaired loans for which adjustments are based on the appraised value of the collateral.
The following is a description of the methodologies applied for valuing these assets:
Investment securities held to maturity – Nonrecurring fair value adjustments on investment securities held to maturity reflect impairment write-downs which the Company believes are other than temporary. For analyzing these securities, the Company has retained a third-party valuation firm. Impairment is determined through the use of cash flow models that estimate cash flows on the underlying mortgages using security-specific collateral and the transaction structure. The cash flow models incorporate the remaining cash flows which are adjusted for future expected credit losses. Future expected credit losses are determined by using various assumptions such as current default rates, prepayment rates, and loss severities. The Company develops these assumptions through the use of market data published by third-party sources in addition to historical analysis which includes actual delinquency and default information through the current period. The expected cash flows are then discounted at the interest rate used to recognize interest income on the security to arrive at a present value amount. As the fair value measurementsassessments are derived using a discounted cash flow modeling approach, the nonrecurring fair value measurementsadjustments are classified as Level 3.

Impaired Loans – Impaired loans measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis represent the carrying value of impaired loans for which adjustments are based on the appraised value of the collateral. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments to impaired loans reflect full or partial write-downs that are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan. Loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value measurementsadjustments based on the current estimated fair value of the collateral are classified as Level 3.
OREO – OREO is recorded on the Company's Unaudited CondensedCompany’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at the lower of recorded balance or fair value, which is based on appraisals and third-party price opinions, less estimated costs to sell. The fair value is classified as Level 3.
The table below presents quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs for material assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on a recurring and nonrecurring basis.

The following provides a description of the sensitivity of the valuation technique to changes in unobservable inputs for recurring fair value measurements.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs
Other Trading Account Assets – Interest-Only Strips
Significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the Company’s interest-only strips include default rates and prepayment assumptions. Significant increases in either of these inputs in isolation would result in significantly lower fair value measurements. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates.

Interest Rate Contracts - Interest Rate Lock Commitments
Significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of interest rate lock commitmentscontracts are pull-through and cap grids. Increases or decreases in the pull-through or cap grids will have a corresponding impact in the value of interest rate contracts.
Other Assets - MSRs
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of MSRs are option-adjusted spreads, constant prepayment rate or life speed, and cost to service assumptions. The impact of prepayments and changes in the option-adjusted spread are based on a variety of underlying inputs. Increases or decreases to the underlying cash flow inputs will have a corresponding impact on the value of the MSR asset. The impact of the costs to service assumption will have a directionally opposite change in the fair value of the MSR asset.

Other Assets - SBIC Investments
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of SBIC Investments are initially based upon transaction price. Increases or decreases in valuation factors such as recent or proposed purchase or sale of debt or equity of the issuer, pricing by other dealers in similar securities, size of position held, liquidity of the market will have a corresponding impact in the value of SBIC investments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values, as well as the level within the fair value hierarchy, of the Company’s financial instruments, excluding financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, are as follows:

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments not carried at fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents have maturities of three months or less. Accordingly, the carrying amount approximates fair value. Because these amounts generally relate to either currency or highly liquid assets, these are considered a Level 1 measurement.
Investment securities held to maturity: The fair values of securities held to maturity are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach. The discounted cash flow model uses inputs such as estimated prepayment speed, loss rates, and default rates. They are considered a Level 3 measurement as the valuation employs significant unobservable inputs.

Loans: Loans are presented net of the allowance for loan losses and are valued using discounted cash flows. The discount rates used to determine the present value of these loans are based on current market interest rates for loans with similar credit risk and term. They are considered a Level 3 measurement as the valuation employs significant unobservable inputs.
Deposits: The fair values of demand deposits are equal to the carrying amounts. Demand deposits include noninterest bearing demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and money market demand accounts. Discounted cash flows have been used to value fixed rate term deposits. The discount rate used is based on interest rates currently being offered by the Company on comparable deposits as to amount and term. They are considered a Level 2 measurement as the valuation primarily employs observable inputs for similar instruments.
FHLB and other borrowings: The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate borrowings, which includes the Company’s Capital Securities, are estimated using discounted cash flows, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying amount of the Company’s variable rate borrowings approximates fair value. As such, these borrowings are considered a Level 2 measurement as the valuation primarily employs observable inputs for similar instruments.
Federal fund purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and short-term borrowings: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings approximates fair value. They are therefore considered a Level 2 measurement.

(1211) Segment Information
The Company’s operating segments are based on the Company’s organizational structure. Each segment reflects the manner in which financial information is evaluated by management. The operating segment results include certain overhead allocations and intercompany transactions. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated to determine the consolidated balances. The Company operates primarily in the United States, and, accordingly, revenue and assets outside the United States are not material. There are no individual customers whose revenues exceeded 10% of consolidated revenue.
In August 2017, the Company announced a reorganization of its line of business structure that will divide the existing Consumer and Commercial Banking segment into a retail line of business and a commercial line of business. This will change the Company's segment reporting structure during the fourth quarter of 2017.
The following tables present the segment information for the Company’s existing segments.

The financial information presented was derived from the internal profitability reporting system used by management to monitor and manage the financial performance of the Company. This information is based on internal management accounting policies that have been developed to reflect the underlying economics of the businesses. These policies address the methodologies applied and include policies related to funds transfer pricing, cost allocations and capital allocations.
Funds transfer pricing was used in the determination of net interest income earned primarily on loans and deposits. The method employed for funds transfer pricing is a matched funding concept whereby operating segments which are fund providers are credited and those that are fund users are charged based on maturity, prepayment and/or repricing characteristics applied on an instrument level. Costs for centrally managed operations are generally allocated to the operating segment based on the utilization of services provided or other appropriate indicators. Capital is allocated to the operating segments based upon the underlying risks in each business taking into account economic and regulatory capital standards.

The development and application of these methodologies is a dynamic process. Accordingly, prior period financials have been revised to reflect management accounting enhancements and changes in the Company's organizational structure.structure due to the transfer of certain customer relationships within its large middle market customer group from the Consumer and Commercial Banking segment to the Corporate and Investment Banking segment that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2016. The 20152016 segment information has been revised to conform to the 20162017 presentation. In addition, unlike financial accounting, there is no authoritative literature for management accounting similar to U.S. GAAP. Consequently, reported results are not necessarily comparable to those presented by other financial institutions.

Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying these principles conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with general practices within the banking industry. The Company’s critical accounting policies relate to (1) the allowance for loan losses, (2) fair value of financial instruments, (3) income taxes and (4)(3) goodwill impairment. These critical accounting policies require the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments which are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, as this information changes, future financial statements could reflect the use of different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain determinations inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. The Company’s significant accounting policies and changes in accounting principles and effects of new accounting pronouncements are discussed in detail in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016. Additional disclosures regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included herein.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is the charge to earnings that management determines to be necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a sufficient level reflecting management's estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio.
Three Months Ended September 30, 20162017 and 20152016
For the three months ended September 30, 2016,2017, the Company recorded $65.1$103.4 million of provision for loan losses compared to $29.2$65.1 million of provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2015.2016. The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily due to $60 million of additional allowance for loan losses related to the estimated impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma on the loan portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the same period2017 offset in 2015 was primarily topart by a declinereduction in provision expense associated with improvements in credit quality indicators stemming from downgrades in the commercialenergy portfolio and an increase in charge-offs related to energy loans as well as consumer direct and indirect loans during 2016. the three months ended September 30, 2017.
The Company recorded net charge-offs of $46.1$71.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 20162017 compared to $28.5$46.1 million during the corresponding period in 2015.2016. The increase in net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the corresponding period in 2016 was driven in part by an $8.1 million increase in commercial real estate-mortgage net charge-offs, a $5.8 million increase in commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs and a $5.4 million increase in consumer direct net charge-offs. Included in net-charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 20162017 was $8.5 million$127 thousand of net charge-offs related to energy loans compared to $2.7$8.5 million of charge-offs related to energy loans for the three months ended September 30, 2015.2016. Net charge-offs were 0.47% (or 0.49% excluding net charge-offs on energy loans) of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 0.30% (or 0.26% excluding net charge-offs on energy loans) of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 0.19% (or 0.18% excluding net charge-offs on energy loans) of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2015.2016.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016,2017, the Company recorded $265.0$228.9 million of provision for loan losses compared to $117.3$265.0 million of provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.2016. The increasedecrease in provision for loan losses forwas primarily due to improvements in credit quality indicators in the energy portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, when compared to the negative credit quality indicators stemming from downgrades in the energy portfolio that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as comparedoffset by the impact of $60 million of additional allowance for loan losses related to the same period in 2015 was primarily attributable to a decline in credit quality indicators primarily driven by downgrades inestimated impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma on the energyloan portfolio during 2016. the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
The Company recorded net charge-offs of $165.6$218.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 20162017 compared to $80.3$165.6 million during the corresponding period in 2015.2016. The increase in net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the corresponding period in 2016 was driven, in part, by a $15.4 million increase in commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs as well as a $20.5 million increase in consumer direct net charge-offs. Included in net-charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 20162017 was $49.4$56.7 million of net charge-offs related to energy loans compared to $2.7$49.4 million of net charge-offs related to energy loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.2016. Net charge-offs were 0.48% (or 0.38% excluding net charge-offs on energy loans) of average loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 0.36% (or 0.27% excluding net charge-offs on energy loans) of average loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 0.18% (or 0.19% excluding net charge-offs on energy loans) of average loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.2016.

When borrowers are experiencing financial difficulties, the Company, in order to assist the borrowers in repaying the principal and interest owed to the Company, may make certain modifications to the loan agreement. To facilitate this process, a concessionary modification that would not otherwise be considered may be granted resulting in a classification of the loan as a TDR. Within each of the Company’s loan classes, TDRs typically involve modification of the loan interest rate to a below market rate or an extension or deferment of the loan.loan term. The financial effects of TDRs are reflected in the components that comprise the allowance for loan losses in either the amount of charge-offs or loan loss provision and period-end allowance levels. All TDRs are considered to be impaired loans. Refer to Note 4,

3, Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The following table provides a rollforward of TDR activity, excluding covered loans and loans held for sale.

The Company’s aggregate recorded investment in impaired loans modified through TDRs excluding covered loans decreased to $221was $303 million at September 30, 2016 from $2282017 compared to $214 million at December 31, 2015.2016. The increase in TDRs was due to an increase in commercial, financial and agricultural TDRs, primarily associated with energy loans. Included in these amounts are $118$96 million at September 30, 20162017 and $151$111 million at December 31, 20152016 of accruing TDRs, excluding covered loans. Accruing TDRs are not considered nonperforming because they are performing in accordance with the restructured terms.
The Company's allowance for loan losses is largely driven by risk ratings assigned to commercial loans, updated borrower credit scores on consumer loans and borrower delinquency history in both commercial and consumer portfolios.  As such, the provision for loan losses is impacted primarily by changes in borrower payment performance rather than TDR classification.  In addition, all commercial and consumer loans modified in a TDR are considered to be impaired, even if they maintain their accrual status.

Allowance for Loan Losses
Management’s policy is to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb estimated probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. See Note 4,3, Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosures regarding the allowance for loan losses. The total allowance for loan losses increased to $862$849 million at September 30, 2016,2017, from $763$838 million at December 31, 2015.2016. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.43%1.41% at September 30, 20162017 compared to 1.24%1.40% at December 31, 2015.2016. Nonperforming loans were $1.2 billion$711 million at September 30, 20162017 compared to $477$983 million at December 31, 2015.2016. The allowance attributable to individually impaired loans was $180$108 million at September 30, 20162017 compared to $71$138 million at December 31, 2015.2016. Loans individually evaluated for impairment may have no allowance recorded if the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell or the present value of the loan's expected future cash flows exceeds the recorded investment of the loan.
Net charge-offs were 0.47% of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 0.30% of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 0.19% of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2015.2016. The increase in net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 20162017 as compared to the corresponding period in 20152016 was primarily driven in part by an $8.1 million increase in commercial real estate-mortgage net charge-offs, a $6.7$5.8 million increase in commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs and a $5.4 million increase in consumer direct net-charge-offs and a $6.2 million increase in consumer indirect net charge-offs. Additionally, the increase was driven by charge-offs on energy loans. Commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs include $127 thousand of net charge-offs related to energy loans for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $8.5 million of net charge-offs related to energy loans for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $2.7 million2016.
Net charge-offs were 0.48% of net charge-offs related to energyaverage loans for the threenine months ended September 30, 2015.

The increase in net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 20162017 as compared to the corresponding period in 20152016 was primarily driven, in part, by a $15.4 million increase in commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs on energy loans.as well as a $20.5 million increase in consumer direct net charge-offs. Commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs include $56.7 million of net charge-offs related to energy loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $49.4 million of net charge-offs related to energy loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $2.7 million net charge-offs related to energy loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Additionally, the increase was driven by a $15.5 million increase in consumer direct net-charge-offs and a $19.9 million increase in consumer indirect net charge-offs.2016.

The decline in oil prices has negatively impacted the financial results for many borrowers in the portfolio, leading to internal rating downgrades. The internal rating downgrades reflect the weakened financial performance or financial position of certain borrowers in this portfolio. The overall level of loans rated special mention or lower, including loans classified as nonaccrual, in the energy portfolio at September 30, 2016 was 33.8%, comprised of 7.9% rated special mention and 25.9% rated substandard or lower. At December 31, 2015 the overall level of loans rated special mention or lower in the energy portfolio was 16.3%, comprised of 4.3% rated special mention and 12.0% rated substandard or lower.

The Company employs a variety of risk management strategies, including the use of concentration limits, underwriting standards and continuous monitoring. As of September 30, 2016,2017, the Company has observed negative trending of the internal risk ratingsa decrease in thetotal energy lending portfolio and an increaseloans outstanding as well as a decrease in nonaccrual loans, from 2015, as indicated in Table 14. Additionally,13. The decrease in total exposure in the Company has continuedenergy portfolio primarily reflects reduced borrowing bases resulting in a reduction in total commitments, while the decrease in recorded investment largely reflects energy customers taking actions to adjust their cash flows and may continue to observe negative trending subsequent toreduce their levels of debt.
The overall level of loans rated special mention or lower, including loans classified as nonaccrual, in the energy portfolio at September 30, 2016. 2017 was 23.8%, comprised of 6.7% rated special mention and 17.1% rated substandard or lower. At December 31, 2016, the overall level of loans rated special mention or lower in the energy portfolio was 32.7%, comprised of 8.7% rated special mention and 24.0% rated substandard or lower.
Currently, the credit quality issues have mostly been isolated to the exploration and production subsector which isand the drilling oil and support services subsector, that iseven though the latter represents a relatively small percentage of the portfolio. These subsectors are the subsectors most acutely impacted by pricing conditions. At September 30, 2016, approximately 85% of loans rated special mention or lower were in the exploration and production subsector. Within this subsector, many loans are secured and utilize borrowing base features linked to the physical commodity reserves and supported by engineering data. The borrowing bases are refreshed with updated information on a recurring

basis. In the current pricing environment, theThe Company generally continues to see adequate collateral support of secured energy borrowers, including secured reserve based lines of credit

for exploration and production borrowers. The Company's internal valuation methodologies involve independent engineering analysis of a borrower's reserve to calculate the present value of discounted cash flows that secure the loan. In doing so, the Company applies its oil and gas pricing policy, or when needed external market indices for oil and gas prices. Generally, the drilling oil and support services subsector also has a high risk for impact from the pricing environment since theirits operations are directly impacted by reduced spending by those in the exploration and production sector. However as noted in Table 14,13, the Company's exposure in this sector is limited.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,2017, charge-offs on energy loans were approximately $127 thousand and $56.7 million, respectively, compared to $8.5 million and $49.4 million, respectively. Charge-offs in this portfolio have remained low asrespectively, for the majority of classified energy portfolio loans remain well secured. However, if the current level ofthree and nine months ended September 30, 2016. If oil prices stagnates or continues to furtherresume their decline, this energy-related portfolio may be subject to additional pressure on credit quality metrics including past due, criticized, and nonperforming loans, as well as net charge-offs. Through its ongoing portfolio credit quality assessment, the Company has and will continue to assess the impact to the allowance for loan losses and make adjustments as appropriate. As of September 30, 2016,2017, the Company's allowance for loan losses attributable to the energy portfolio totaled approximately 5%2.7% of outstanding energy loans.
Commercial Real Estate
The commercial real estate portfolio segment includes the commercial real estate and real estate - construction loan portfolios. Commercial real estate loans totaled $11.4$11.3 billion and $10.5$11.2 billion at September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively, and real estate - construction loans totaled $2.2 billion at September 30, 2016,2017 and $2.4$2.1 billion at December 31, 2015, respectively.2016.
This portfolio segment consists primarily of extensions of credits to real estate developers and investors for the financing of land and buildings, whereby the repayment is generated from the sale of the real estate or the income generated by the real estate property. The Company attempts to minimize risk on commercial real estate properties by various means, including requiring collateral with values that exceed the loan amount, adequate cash flow to service the debt, and the personal guarantees of principals of the borrowers. In order to minimize risk on the construction portfolio, the Company has established an operations group outside of the lending staff which is responsible for loan disbursements during the construction process.
The following tables present the geographic distribution for the commercial real estate and real estate - construction portfolios.

Residential Real Estate
The residential real estate portfolio includes residential real estate - mortgage loans, equity lines of credit and equity loans. The residential real estate portfolio primarily contains loans to individuals, which are secured by single-family residences. Loans of this type are generally smaller in size than commercial real estate loans and are geographically dispersed throughout the Company's market areas, with some guaranteed by government agencies or private mortgage insurers. Losses on residential real estate loans depend, to a large degree, on the level of interest rates, the unemployment rate, economic conditions and collateral values.
Residential real estate - mortgage loans totaled $13.5$13.4 billion and $14.0$13.3 billion at September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. Risks associated with residential real estate - mortgage loans are mitigated through rigorous underwriting procedures, collateral values established by independent appraisers and mortgage insurance. In addition, the collateral for this portfolio segment is concentrated in the Company's footprint as indicated in the table below.

Other Consumer
The Company also operates a consumer finance unit which purchases loan contracts for indirect automobile and other consumer financing. These loans are centrally underwritten using underwriting guidelines and industry accepted tools and underwriting guidelines.tools. The Company also originates credit card loans and other consumer direct loans that are centrally underwritten and sourced from the Company's branches or online. Total credit card, consumer direct and consumer indirect loans at September 30, 20162017 were $5.0$5.2 billion, or 8.3%8.7% of the total loan portfolio compared to $5.1$5.0 billion, or 8.3% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2015.2016.
Foreign Exposure
As of September 30, 2016,2017, foreign exposure risk did not represent a significant concentration of the Company's total portfolio of loans and was substantially represented by borrowers domiciled in Mexico and foreign borrowers currently residing in the United States. 
Funding Activities
Deposits are the primary source of funds for lending and investing activities and their cost is the largest category of interest expense. The Company also utilizes brokered deposits as a funding source in addition to customer deposits. Scheduled payments, as well as prepayments, and maturities from portfolios of loans and investment securities also provide a stable source of funds. FHLB advances, other secured borrowings, federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowed funds, as well as longer-term debt issued through the capital markets, all provide supplemental liquidity sources. The Company’s funding activities are monitored and governed through the Company’s asset/liability management process.

At September 30, 2016,2017, the Company's and the Bank's credit ratings were as follows:

The cost and availability of financing to the Company and the Bank are impacted by its credit ratings. A downgrade to the Company’s or Bank’s credit ratings could affect its ability to access the credit markets and increase its borrowing costs, thereby adversely impacting the Company’s financial condition and liquidity. Key factors in maintaining high credit ratings include a stable and diverse earnings stream, strong credit quality, strong capital ratios and diverse funding sources, in addition to disciplined liquidity monitoring procedures. See the risk factors disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016, for additional information.
A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and the ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Total deposits increased from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016 primarily due to growth in noninterest bearing demand deposits, savings and money market and time deposits. Marketing efforts were the primary drivers of the growth.

Borrowed Funds
In addition to internal deposit generation, the Company also relies on borrowed funds as a supplemental source of funding. Borrowed funds consist of short-term borrowings, FHLB advances, subordinated debentures and other long-term borrowings.
Short-term borrowings are primarily in the form of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings. At both September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the $79 million and $674 million, respectively, of federal funds purchased included in short-term borrowings was primarily a result of customer activity.

Total short-term borrowings decreased to $372 million at September 30, 2017 from $2.8 billion at December 31, 2016 due to a reduction in U.S. Treasury short positions held by BSI.
At September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, FHLB and other borrowings were $3.7$4.0 billion and $5.4$3.0 billion, respectively. In June 2017, the Bank issued under its Global Bank Note Program $750 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.875% unsecured senior notes due 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016,2017, the Company had $1.3$9.2 billion of proceeds received from FHLB and other borrowings and repayments were approximately $3.1$8.3 billion.
Shareholder’s Equity
Total shareholder's equity was $12.8$13.1 billion at September 30, 20162017, compared to $12.6$12.8 billion at December 31, 2015,2016, an increase of $194$365 million. Shareholder's equity increased $281$407 million due to earnings attributable to the Company during the period, offset by the payment of preferred and common dividends totaling $70$71.0 million as well as a $69 million dividend to BBVA Bancomer USA, Inc. for the purchase of the four operating subsidiaries from BBVA Bancomer USA, Inc. See Note 2, Acquisition Activity, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.its sole shareholder, BBVA.
Risk Management
In the normal course of business, the Company encounters inherent risk in its business activities. The Company’s risk management approach includes processes for identifying, assessing, managing, monitoring and reporting risks. Management has grouped the risks facing its operations into the following categories: credit risk, structural interest rate market andrisk, liquidity risk, operational risk, market risk, model risk, reputational risk, fiduciary risk, suitability risk, compliance risk, legal risk, and strategic and business risk, cyber risk and reputational risk. Each of these risks is managed through the Company’s ERM program. The ERM program provides the structure and framework necessary to identify, measure, control and manage risk across the organization. ERM is the cornerstone for defining risk tolerance, identifying and monitoring key risk indicators, managing capital and integrating the Company’s capital planning process with on-going risk assessments and related stress testing for major risks.

Market Risk Management
The effective management of market risk is essential to achieving the Company’s strategic financial objectives. As a financial institution, the Company’s most significant market risk exposure is interest rate risk in its balance sheet; however, market risk also includes product liquidity risk, price risk and volatility risk in the Company’s lines of business. The primary objectives of market risk management are to minimize any adverse effect that changes in market risk factors may have on net interest income, and to offset the risk of price changes for certain assets recorded at fair value.
Interest Rate Market Risk
The Company’s net interest income and the fair value of its financial instruments are influenced by changes in the level of interest rates. The Company manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through policies established by its Asset/Liability Committee. The Asset/Liability Committee meets regularly and has responsibility for approving asset/liability management policies, formulating strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and/or earnings and reviewing the interest rate sensitivity of the Company.
Management utilizes an interest rate simulation model to estimate the sensitivity of the Company’s net interest income to changes in interest rates. Such estimates are based upon a number of assumptions for each scenario, including the level of balance sheet growth, deposit repricing characteristics and the rate of prepayments.
The estimated impact on the Company’s net interest income sensitivity over a one-year time horizon at September 30, 2016,2017, is shown in the table below along with comparable prior-period information.below. Such analysis assumes a gradual and sustained parallel shift in interest rates, expectations of balance sheet growth and composition and the Company’s estimate of how interest-bearing transaction accounts would reprice in each scenario using current yield curves at September 30, 2016 and 2015.2017.

The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on EVE. Inherent in this calculation are many assumptions used to project lifetime cash flows for every item on the balance sheet that may or may not be realized, such as deposit decay rates, prepayment speeds and spread assumptions. This measurement only values existing business without consideration of new business or potential management actions.

The Company is also subject to trading risk. The Company utilizes various tools to measure and manage price risk in its trading portfolios. In addition, the Board of Directors of the Company has established certain limits relative to positions and activities. The level of price risk exposure at any given point in time depends on the market environment and expectation of future price and market movements, and will vary from period to period.

Derivatives
The Company uses derivatives primarily to manage economic risks related to commercial loans, mortgage banking operations, long-term debt and other funding sources. The Company also uses derivatives to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients. As of September 30, 2016,2017, the Company had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts of $36.3$46.8 billion. The estimated net fair value of open contracts was in an asset position of $155$37 million at September 30, 2016.2017. For additional information about derivatives, refer to Note 6,5, Derivatives and Hedging, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity Management
Liquidity is the ability of the Company to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Liquidity management involves maintaining the Company’s ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow requirements of its customers, whether they are depositors wishing to withdraw funds or borrowers requiring funds to meet their credit needs. Without proper liquidity management, the Company would not be able to perform the primary function of a financial intermediary and would, therefore, not be able to meet the needs of the communities it serves.
The Company regularly assesses liquidity needs under various scenarios of market conditions, asset growth and changes in credit ratings. The assessment includes liquidity stress testing which measures various sources and uses of funds under the different scenarios. The assessment provides regular monitoring of unused borrowing capacity and available sources of contingent liquidity to prepare for unexpected liquidity needs and to cover unanticipated events that could affect liquidity.
The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily through unencumbered securities available for sale, loan principal and interest payments, maturities and prepayments of investment securities held to maturity and, to a lesser extent, sales of investment securities available for sale and trading account assets. Other short-term investments such as federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell, are additional sources of liquidity.
The liability portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity through various customers’ interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit accounts and through FHLB and other borrowings. Brokered deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings as well as excess borrowing capacity with the FHLB and access to the debt capital markets are additional sources of liquidity and, basically, represent the Company’s incremental borrowing capacity. These sources of liquidity are used as necessary to fund asset growth and meet short-term liquidity needs.
In addition to the Company’s financial performance and condition, liquidity may be impacted by the Parent’s structure as a bank holding company that is a separate legal entity from the Bank. The Parent requires cash for various operating needs including payment of dividends to its shareholder, the servicing of debt, and the payment of general corporate expenses. The primary source of liquidity for the Parent is dividends paid by the Bank. Applicable federal and state statutes and regulations impose restrictions on the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank. In addition to the formal statutes and regulations, regulatory authorities also consider the adequacy of the Bank’s total capital in relation to its assets, deposits and other such items. Due to the net earnings restrictions on dividend distributions under Alabama law, the Bank was not permitted to pay dividends at September 30, 20162017 or December 31, 20152016 without regulatory approval. Appropriate limits and guidelines are in place to ensure the Parent has sufficient cash to meet operating expenses and other commitments without relying on subsidiaries or capital markets for funding. Any future dividends paid from the Parent must be set forth as capital actions in the Company's capital plans and not objected to by the Federal Reserve Board.

On June 29, 2017, the Bank issued under its Global Bank Note Program $750 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.875% unsecured senior notes due 2022.
The Company’s ability to raise funding at competitive prices is affected by the rating agencies’ views of the Company’s credit quality, liquidity, capital and earnings. Management meets with the rating agencies on a routine basis to discuss the current outlook for the Company.

In 2014, the Federal Reserve Board, the OCC, and the FDIC approved a final rule implementing a minimum liquidity coverage ratio requirement for certain large bank holding companies, savings and loan holding companies and depository institutions, and a less stringent LCR requirement for other banking organizations, such as the Company, with $50 billion or more in total consolidated assets. The final rule imposes a monthly reporting requirement. InAs of January 2016,

2017, the minimum phased-in LCR requirement was 90 percent, followed by 100 percent in January 2017.percent. At September 30, 2016,2017, the Company was fully compliant with the minimum phased-in LCR requirements in effect for 2016.2017. However, should the Company's cash position or investment mix change in the future, the Company's ability to meet the LCR requirement may be impacted.
Management believes that the current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet the Company’s requirements and plans for continued growth.
Capital
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum risk-based and leverage capital requirements can subject the Company and the Bank to a series of increasingly restrictive regulatory actions.
The U.S. Basel III final rule revised the minimum regulatory capital ratio thresholds for the Company and the Bank and the well-capitalized thresholds for the Bank. The Federal Reserve Board has not yet adopted well-capitalized standards for bank holding companies under the U.S. Basel III capital framework.
Under the U.S. Basel III capital rule, the minimum regulatory capital ratios are as follows:
4.5% CET1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio
6.0% Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio
8.0% Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio
4.0% Tier 1 Leverage Ratio
The U.S. Basel III capital rule also requires a capital conservation buffer that is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and that must be maintained on top of these minimum risk-based capital ratios. The phase in period for the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016, with an initial phase-in amount of 0.625%. When U.S. Basel III is fully phased-in on January 1, 2019, the Company and Bank is expected to be subject to a 2.5% CET1 capital conservation buffer, under which they must maintain a CET1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of greater than 7.0%, a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio of greater than 8.5%, and a Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of greater than 10.5%. Failure of the Company or the Bank to maintain the buffer will result in restrictions on the ability to make dividend payments, repurchase shares, and pay discretionary bonuses.

The following table sets forth the Company's U.S. Basel III regulatory capital ratios subject to transitional provisions at September 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015.2016.
