The Company offers a broad array of lending products to consumer and commercial customers, in various industries, across several geographical locations, predominately in the states in which it has Consumer and Business Banking offices. Collateral for commercial and commercial real estate loans may include marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, real estate, or the related property. Originated loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned interest and deferred fees and costs, and any partial charge-offs recorded. Purchased loans are recorded at fair value at the date of purchase. Net unearned interest and deferred fees and costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums and discounts on purchased loans amounted to $2.7 billion at December 31, 2023 and $3.1 billion at December 31, 2022. The Company evaluates purchased loans for more-than-insignificant deterioration at the date of purchase in accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance. Purchased loans that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration from origination are considered purchased credit deteriorated loans. All other purchased loans are considered non-purchased credit deteriorated loans. Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses is established for current expected credit losses on the Company’s loan and lease portfolio, including unfunded credit commitments. The allowance considers expected losses for the remaining lives of the applicable assets, inclusive of expected recoveries. The allowance for credit losses is increased through provisions charged to earnings and reduced by net charge-offs. Activity in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio class was as follows: (Dollars in Millions) Commercial Commercial Real Estate Residential Mortgages Credit Other Total Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 2,163 $ 1,325 $ 926 $ 2,020 $ 970 $ 7,404 Add Change in accounting principle (a) — — (31) (27) (4) (62) Allowance for acquired credit losses (b) — 127 — — — 127 Provision for credit losses 270 431 41 1,259 274 2,275 Deduct Loans charged-off 389 281 129 1,014 478 2,291 Less recoveries of loans charged-off (75) (18) (20) (165) (108) (386) Net loan charge-offs (recoveries) 314 263 109 849 370 1,905 Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 2,119 $ 1,620 $ 827 $ 2,403 $ 870 $ 7,839 Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 1,849 $ 1,123 $ 565 $ 1,673 $ 945 $ 6,155 Add Allowance for acquired credit losses (b) 163 87 36 45 5 336 Provision for credit losses (c) 378 152 302 826 319 1,977 Deduct Loans charged-off (d) 319 54 13 696 418 1,500 Less recoveries of loans charged-off (92) (17) (36) (172) (120) (437) Net loan charge-offs (recoveries) 227 37 (23) 524 298 1,063 Other Changes — — — — (1) (1) Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 2,163 $ 1,325 $ 926 $ 2,020 $ 970 $ 7,404 Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 2,423 $ 1,544 $ 573 $ 2,355 $ 1,115 $ 8,010 Add Provision for credit losses (471) (419) (40) (170) (73) (1,173) Deduct Loans charged-off 222 29 18 686 253 1,208 Less recoveries of loans charged-off (119) (27) (50) (174) (156) (526) Net loan charge-offs (recoveries) 103 2 (32) 512 97 682 Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 1,849 $ 1,123 $ 565 $ 1,673 $ 945 $ 6,155 (a) Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted accounting guidance which removed the separate recognition and measurement of troubled debt restructurings.
