Loans Held-for-Sale, Loans, Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses | Note 4. Loans Held-for-Sale, Loans, Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, loans held-for-sale consisted of the following: June 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 ($ in thousands) Leveraged Finance $ 422,702 $ 485,874 Real Estate 23,760 — Gross loans held-for-sale 446,462 485,874 Deferred loan fees, net (6,363 ) (7,089 ) Total loans held-for-sale, net $ 440,099 $ 478,785 Loans classified as held-for-sale consist primarily of loans originated or purchased by the Company that are intended to be sold to third parties (including credit funds managed by the Company). During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company transferred a $23.8 million impaired Real Estate loan to held-for-sale. At the time of the transfer the Company took an additional provision expense of $0.1 million increasing the specific reserve to $4.5 million which was subsequently charged off. This impaired Real Estate loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) and $3.2 million is on non-accrual as of June 30, 2016. Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of either market value or aggregate cost, net of any deferred origination costs or fees. At June 30, 2016, loans held-for-sale include loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $431.1 million that were intended to be sold to credit funds managed by the Company. The Company sold loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $129.4 million for a net loss of $0.09 million to entities other than credit funds managed by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Company sold loans with an outstanding balance of $4.0 million for a loss of $0.1 million to entities other than credit funds managed by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, loans and leases consisted of the following: June 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 ($ in thousands) Leveraged Finance $ 3,044,824 $ 2,627,314 Business Credit — 342,281 Real Estate 17,741 100,732 Equipment Finance 165,234 173,253 Gross loans and leases (1) 3,227,799 3,243,580 Deferred loan fees and discount, net (51,203 ) (51,249 ) Allowance for loan and lease losses (63,535 ) (58,259 ) Total loans and leases, net $ 3,113,061 $ 3,134,072 (1) During the first quarter of 2016, the Company purchased $138.9 million of loans that were referenced by the total return swap portfolio. The majority of these loans were purchased to fund future CLOs. The purchased loans were recorded at fair value with no initial associated allowance for loan loss. At acquisition, the purchased loans were segregated into three groups: (i) loans to be allocated to credit funds managed by NewStar Capital, (ii) other performing loans, and (iii) one credit impaired loan. Loans purchased by NewStar Capital totaled $89.5 million. The Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825-10 to account for these loans in accordance with the Company’s policy. The election was made on the acquisition date. As a result, changes in fair value of these loans will be reported in non-interest income within the consolidated statement of operations. The Company purchased other performing loans totaling $47.6 million. These loans are accounted for under ASC 310-20. As a result, any premium/discount determined at the date of purchase is amortized/accreted into interest income over the life of the loans. Any acquired loans which exhibit credit deterioration from the date of acquisition will be evaluated for an allowance for loan losses under methods similar to those used for loans originated in the ordinary course of business. The Company purchased one credit impaired loan totaling $1.8 million. This loan was accounted for under ASC 310-30. Under ASC 310-30, the excess cash flows expected to be collected over the carrying amount is the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and cash flows expected to be collected, considering the impact of prepayments, is the nonaccretable difference. Any subsequent decrease in the expected principal cash flows will result in a charge to the provision for loan losses and a corresponding increase to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent increases in expected principal cash flows will result in recovery of any previously recorded allowance for loan losses, to the extent applicable, and a reclassification from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield for any remaining increase, which will result in an increase in interest income over the remaining life of the loan. This loan was subsequently restructured and is reported as a TDR. The Company internally risk rates loans based on individual credit criteria on at least a quarterly basis. Borrowers provide the Company with financial information on either a quarterly or monthly basis. Loan ratings as well as identification of impaired loans are dynamically updated to reflect changes in borrower condition or profile. A loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due to it according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans include all non-accrual loans, loans with partial charge-offs and loans which are TDRs. The Company utilizes a number of analytical tools for the purpose of estimating probability of default and loss given default for its specialized lending groups. Management considers results from quantitative models in its Leveraged Finance and Equipment Finance lending groups, which utilize Moody’s KMV RiskCalc credit risk model in combination with a proprietary qualitative model. The Real Estate lending group considers results from a proprietary model that we have developed to capture risk characteristics unique to the lending activities in that line of business. The results from models used by each lending group assist management in determining an appropriate obligor risk rating, which corresponds to a probability of default, as well as a loss given default. In each case, the determined probability of default and the loss given default are used to calculate an expected loss for those lending groups. Prior to its sale, Business Credit utilized a proprietary model that produced a rating that corresponded to an expected loss, without calculating a probability of default and loss given default. In each case, the expected loss is the primary component in a formulaic calculation of general reserves attributable to a given loan. Loans and leases which are rated at or better than a specified threshold are typically classified as “Pass”, and loans and leases rated worse than that threshold are typically classified as “Criticized”, a characterization that may apply to impaired loans, including TDR. As of June 30, 2016, $142.4 million of the Company’s loans were classified as “Criticized,” all of which were impaired loans, and $3.1 billion were classified as “Pass”. As of December 31, 2015, $152.1 million of the Company’s loans were classified as “Criticized”, including $143.6 million of the Company’s impaired loans, and $3.1 billion were classified as “Pass”. A TDR that performs in accordance with the terms of its restructuring may improve its risk profile over time. While the concessions in terms of pricing or amortization may not have been reversed and further amended to “market” levels, the financial condition of the borrower may improve over time to the point where the rating improves from the “Criticized” classification that was appropriate immediately prior to, or at, restructuring. When the Company rates a loan above a certain risk rating threshold and the loan is deemed to be impaired, the Company will establish a specific allowance, if appropriate, and the loan will be analyzed and may be placed on non-accrual. If the asset deteriorates further, the specific allowance may increase, and the asset’s deterioration may ultimately result in a loss and charge-off. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The measurement of impairment of a loan is based upon (i) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, (ii) the loan’s observable market price, or (iii) the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, depending on the circumstances and our collection strategy. Impaired loans are identified based on the loan-by-loan risk rating process described above. It is the Company’s policy during the reporting period to record a specific provision for credit losses and/or partial or full charge off for all loans for which we have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had impaired loans with a balance of $165.3 million. Impaired loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $136.9 million have been restructured and classified as TDRs. At June 30, 2016, additional funding commitments for TDRs totaled $4.9 million. As of June 30, 2016, the aggregate carrying value of equity investments in certain of the Company’s borrowers in connection with troubled debt restructurings totaled $11.0 million. Impaired loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $95.9 million were also on non-accrual status. For impaired loans on non-accrual status, the Company’s policy is to reverse the accrued interest previously recognized as interest income subsequent to the last cash receipt in the current year. The recognition of interest income on the loan only resumes when factors indicating doubtful collection no longer exist and the non-accrual loan payment status has been brought current. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company charged off $6.9 million and $12.9 million, respectively, of non-accruing loan balances. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company placed loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $9.2 million and $14.3 million, respectively on non-accrual status. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded $2.4 million and $19.1 million, respectively, of net specific provisions for impaired loans. At June 30, 2016, the Company had a $32.9 million specific allowance for impaired loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $117.5 million. At June 30, 2016, additional funding commitments for impaired loans totaled $8.4 million. The Company’s obligation to fulfill the additional funding commitments on impaired loans is generally contingent on the borrower’s compliance with the terms of the credit agreement, or if the borrower is not in compliance additional funding commitments may be made at the Company’s discretion. As of June 30, 2016, the Company has one loan totaling $2.2 million on non-accrual status which was greater than 60 days past due and classified as delinquent by the Company. Included in the $32.9 million specific allowance for impaired loans was $0.2 million related to delinquent loans. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had impaired loans with a balance of $193.2 million. At that date, impaired loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $183.6 million had been restructured and classified as TDR. As of December 31, 2015, the aggregate carrying value of equity investments in certain of the Company’s borrowers in connection with troubled debt restructurings totaled $11.4 million. Impaired loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $111.3 million were also on non-accrual status. During 2015, the Company charged off $4.0 million of outstanding non-accrual loans. During 2015, the Company placed loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $38.2 million on non-accrual status and returned loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $0.9 million to performing status. During 2015, the Company recorded $9.5 million of net specific provisions for impaired loans. At December 31, 2015, the Company had a $26.8 million specific allowance for impaired loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of $121.1 million. At December 31, 2015, additional funding commitments for impaired loans totaled $10.9 million. As of December 31, 2015, loans to three borrowers totaling approximately $18.6 million were on non-accrual status and were greater than 60 days past due and classified as delinquent by the Company. Included in the $26.8 million specific allowance for impaired loans was $2.8 million related to delinquent loans.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $6.9 million and $14.2 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $4.0 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The Company’s policy is to record a specific allowance for an impaired loan to cover the identified impairment of that loan. Based on the Company’s experience any potential charge-off of such loan would occur when any loan loss amount is considered to be confirmed. The Company may record the initial specific allowance related to an impaired loan in the same period as it records a partial charge-off in certain circumstances such as if the terms of a restructured loan are finalized during that period. When a loan is determined to be uncollectible, the specific allowance is charged off, which reduces the gross investment in the loan. While charge-offs of amounts previously reserved have no net impact on the carrying value of net loans and leases, charge-offs lower the level of the allowance for loan and lease losses; and, as a result, reduce the percentage of allowance for loans and leases to total loans and leases, and the percentage of allowance for loan and leases losses to non-performing loans.

Loans being restructured have typically developed adverse performance trends as a result of various factors, the result of which is an inability to comply with the terms of the applicable credit agreement governing the borrowers’ obligations to the Company. In order to mitigate default risk and/or liquidation, assuming that liquidation proceeds are not viewed as a more favorable outcome to the Company and other lenders, the Company will enter into negotiations with the borrower and its shareholders on the terms of a restructuring. When restructuring a loan, the Company undertakes an extensive diligence process which typically includes (i) development of a financial model with a forecast horizon that matches the term of the proposed restructuring, (ii) meetings with management of the borrower, (iii) engagement of third party consultants and (iv) other internal analyses. Once a restructuring proposal is developed, it is subject to approval by both the Company’s Underwriting and Investment Committee. Loans are only removed from TDR classification after a period of performance following the refinancing of outstanding obligations on terms which are determined to be “market” in all material respects. The Company may modify loans that are not determined to be a TDR. Where a loan is modified or restructured but loan terms are considered market and no concessions were given on the loan terms, including price, principal amortization or obligation, or other restrictive covenants, a loan will not be classified as a TDR. The Company has made the following types of concessions in the context of a TDR: Group I: · extension of principal repayment term · principal holidays · interest rate adjustments Group II: · partial forgiveness · conversion of debt to equity A summary of the types of concessions that the Company made with respect to TDRs at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 is provided below: Group I Group II ($ in thousands) June 30, 2016 (1) $ 136,943 $ 107,199 December 31, 2015 $ 183,573 $ 162,986 (1) In additions to the amounts reflected above, a TDR Real Estate loan of $23.8 million is classified as held-for-sale. Note: A loan may be included in both restructuring groups, but not repeated within each group. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had $6.4 million and $7.5 million, respectively, of partial charge-offs related to loans previously classified as TDR. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had not removed the TDR classification from any loan previously identified as such, but had charged-off, sold and received repayments of outstanding TDRs. The Company measures TDRs similarly to how it measures all loans for impairment. The Company performs a discounted cash flow analysis on cash flow dependent loans and we assess the underlying collateral value less reasonable costs of sale for collateral dependent loans. Management analyzes the projected performance of the borrower to determine if it has the ability to service principal and interest payments based on the terms of the restructuring. Loans will typically not be returned to accrual status until at least six months of contractual payments have been made in a timely manner or the borrower shows significant ability to maintain servicing of the restructured debt. Additionally, at the time of a restructuring and quarterly thereafter, an impairment analysis is undertaken to determine the measurement of specific reserve, if any, on each impaired loan. Below is a summary of the Company’s loans which were newly classified as TDR and existing TDR loans which subsequently defaulted, in each case as of the dates presented.

The Company employs a variety of internally developed and third-party modeling and estimation tools for measuring credit risk, which are used in developing an allowance for loan and lease losses on outstanding loans and leases. The Company’s allowance framework addresses economic conditions, capital market liquidity and industry circumstances from both a top-down and bottom-up perspective. The Company considers and evaluates a number of factors, including but not limited to, changes in economic conditions, credit availability, industry, loss emergence period, and multiple obligor concentrations in assessing both probabilities of default and loss severities as part of the general component of the allowance for loan and lease losses. On at least a quarterly basis, loans and leases are internally risk-rated based on individual credit criteria, including loan and lease type, loan and lease structures (including balloon and bullet structures common in the Company’s Leveraged Finance and Real Estate cash flow loans), borrower industry, payment capacity, location and quality of collateral if any (including the Company’s Real Estate loans). Borrowers provide the Company with financial information on either a monthly or quarterly basis. Ratings, corresponding assumed default rates and assumed loss severities are dynamically updated to reflect any changes in borrower condition and/or profile. For Leveraged Finance loans and Equipment Finance loans and leases, the data set used to construct probabilities of default in its allowance for loan losses model, Moody’s CRD Private Firm Database, primarily contains middle market loans that share attributes similar to the Company’s loans. The Company also considers the quality of the loan or lease terms and lender protections in determining a loan loss in the event of default. Prior to the sale of Business Credit, the Company utilized a proprietary model to risk rate the asset based loans on a monthly basis. This model captured the impact of changes in industry and economic conditions as well as changes in the quality of the borrower’s collateral and financial performance to assign a final risk rating. The Company also evaluated historical net loss trends by risk rating from a comprehensive industry database covering more than twenty-five years of experience of the majority of the asset based lenders operating in the United States. Based upon the monthly risk rating from the model, the reserve was adjusted to reflect the historical average for expected loss from the industry database. For Real Estate loans, the Company employs two mechanisms to capture the impact of industry and economic conditions. First, a loan’s risk rating, and thereby its assumed default likelihood, can be adjusted to account for overall commercial real estate market conditions. Second, to the extent that economic or industry trends adversely affect a substandard rated borrower’s loan-to-value ratio enough to impact its repayment ability, the Company applies a stress multiplier to the loan’s probability of default. The multiplier is designed to account for default characteristics that are difficult to quantify when market conditions cause commercial real estate prices to decline. The Company periodically reviews its allowance for credit loss methodology to assess any necessary adjustments based upon changing economic and capital market conditions. If the Company determines that changes in its allowance for credit losses methodology are advisable, as a result of changes in the economic environment or otherwise, the revised allowance methodology may result in higher or lower levels of allowance. At December 31, 2015, the Company enhanced its approach for determining the expected exposure at default to more precisely reflect loan and lease exposures. Given uncertain market conditions, actual losses under the Company’s current or any revised allowance methodology may differ materially from the Company’s estimate. Additionally, when determining the amount of the general allowance, the Company supplements the base amount with an environmental reserve amount which is governed by a score card system comprised of seven risk factors. The risk factors are designed based on those outlined in the Comptrollers of the Currency’s Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Handbook. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the scoring system of the environmental reserve risk factors was recalibrated to align with the enhancement made to the approach for determining the exposure at default. The Company also performs a ratio analysis of comparable money center banks, regional banks and finance companies.
