A class is generally a disaggregation of a portfolio segment. In determining the classes, CIT considered the loan characteristics and methods it applies in monitoring and assessing credit risk and performance. Credit Quality Information The following table summarizes commercial loans by the risk ratings that bank regulatory agencies utilize to classify credit exposure and which are consistent with indicators the Company monitors. The consumer loan risk profiles are different from commercial loans, and use loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratios in rating the credit quality, and therefore are presented separately below.

Certain consumer SFR loans are “covered loans” which relate to loans acquired from the OneWest Bank acquisition with indemnifications provided by the FDIC under the loss sharing agreements for certain future losses. The covered loans are limited to the Legacy Consumer Mortgage (“LCM”) division. The loss share agreements with the FDIC relates to the IndyMac Transaction and the FDIC-assisted transactions of First Federal Bank of California in December 2009 (“First Federal Transaction”) and La Jolla Bank, FSB in February 2010 (“La Jolla Transaction”) with the indemnification period ending in March 2019, December 2019 and February 2020, respectively. The FDIC indemnifies the Company against certain credit losses on covered loans based on specified thresholds outlined in the respective loss share agreement. The recognized indemnification asset was limited to the IndyMac Transaction with the indemnification period that ended on March 31, 2019. No indemnification asset was recognized in connection with the First Federal Transaction and La Jolla Transaction. The Company separately recognizes a net receivable (recorded in other assets) for the claim submissions filed with the FDIC and a net payable (recorded in other liabilities) for the remittances due to the FDIC for previously submitted claims that were later recovered by investor (e.g., guarantor payments, recoveries). At March 31, 2019, the indemnification asset is zero as compared to $10.8 million at December 31, 2018 and a net receivable from the FDIC of $8.0 million and $6.4 million, respectively. Included in the consumer loan balances as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, were loans with terms at origination that permitted negative amortization with an unpaid principal balance of $370 million and $382 million, respectively. Of these balances, $313 million and $318 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, had outstanding balances below their original principal balances.

PCI loans were initially recorded at estimated fair value with no allowance for loan losses carried over, since the initial fair values reflected credit losses expected to be incurred over the remaining lives of the loans. The acquired loans are subject to the Company’s internal credit review.

Accretable Yield See the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K, Note 1 — Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Changes in the accretable yield for PCI loans are summarized below. Change in Accretable Yield (dollars in millions) Quarters Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Balance, beginning of period $ 903.8 $ 1,063.7 Accretion into interest income (40.7 ) (44.0 ) Reclassification from non-accretable difference 2.4 0.5 Disposals and Other (1.9 ) (3.9 ) Balance, end of period $ 863.6 $ 1,016.3 Troubled Debt Restructuring The Company periodically modifies the terms of loans in response to borrowers’ difficulties. Modifications that include a financial concession to the borrower are accounted for as TDRs. A restructuring of a debt constitutes a TDR for purposes of ASC 310-40 if CIT, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. A concession may be either by agreement between CIT and the debtor or imposed by law or a court of law. See the Company's 2018 Form 10-K for discussion of policies on TDRs. Modified loans that meet the definition of a TDR are subject to the Company's impaired loan policy. The following table presents recorded investment of TDRs, excluding those within a trial modification period, and those classified as PCI as of and during the periods ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018: TDRs (dollars in millions) March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Recorded Investment % Total TDR Recorded Investment % Total TDR Commercial Banking $ 66.1 77 % $ 70.2 80 % Consumer Banking 19.2 23 % 17.7 20 % Total $ 85.3 100 % $ 87.9 100 % Percent non-accrual 77 % 79 % Modifications (dollars in millions) Quarters Ended March 31, 2019 2018 Recorded investment related to modifications qualifying as TDRs that occurred during the quarter $ 10.0 36.5 Recorded investment at the time of default of TDRs that experienced a payment default (payment default is one missed payment) during the quarters and for which the payment default occurred within one year of the modification $ 0.8 1.6 There were $2.7 million and $6.1 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, of commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loan terms have been modified in TDRs. The financial impact of the various modification strategies that the Company employs in response to borrower difficulties is presented below. Although the focus is on the March 31, 2019 amounts, the overall nature and impact of modification programs were comparable in the prior year or period. Modifications qualifying as TDRs based upon recorded investment at March 31, 2019 were comprised of payment deferrals (51%) and covenant relief and/or other (49%). At December 31, 2018, TDR recorded investment was comprised of payment deferrals (50%) and covenant relief and/or other (50%). ▪ Payment deferrals result in lower net present value of cash flows, if not accompanied by additional interest or fees, and increased provision for credit losses to the extent applicable. The financial impact of these modifications is not significant given the moderate length of deferral periods. ▪ Interest rate reductions result in lower amounts of interest being charged to the customer, but are a relatively small part of the Company’s restructuring programs. The weighted average change in interest rates for all TDRs occurring during the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was not significant. ▪ Debt forgiveness, or the reduction in amount owed by borrower, results in incremental provision for credit losses, in the form of higher charge-offs. While these types of modifications have the greatest individual impact on the allowance, the amounts of principal forgiveness for TDRs occurring during quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was not significant, as debt forgiveness is a relatively small component of the Company’s modification programs. ▪ The other elements of the Company’s modification programs that are not TDRs, do not have a significant impact on financial results given their relative size, or do not have a direct financial impact, as in the case of covenant changes. |
