Total loans (excluding PCI covered loans) include net unearned premiums and deferred loan costs of $18.7 million and $22.2 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. The outstanding balances (representing contractual balances owed to Valley) for PCI loans totaled $4.9 billion and $1.5 billion at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. Valley transferred $263.3 million of residential mortgage loans from the loan portfolio to loans held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $225.5 million of loans transferred during the six months ended June 30, 2017 . There were no other sales of loans from the held for investment portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 . Purchased Credit-Impaired Loans PCI loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC Subtopic 310-30 and are initially recorded at fair value (as determined by the present value of expected future cash flows) with no valuation allowance (i.e., the allowance for loan losses), and aggregated and accounted for as pools of loans based on common risk characteristics. The difference between the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition and the initial carrying amount (fair value) of the PCI loans, or the “accretable yield,” is recognized as interest income utilizing the level-yield method over the life of each pool. Contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition, or the “non-accretable difference,” are not recognized as a yield adjustment, as a loss accrual or a valuation allowance. Reclassifications of the non-accretable difference to the accretable yield may occur subsequent to the loan acquisition dates due to increases in expected cash flows of the loan pools. The following table presents information regarding the estimates of the contractually required payments, the cash flows expected to be collected, and the estimated fair value of the PCI loans acquired in the USAB acquisition as of January 1, 2018 (See Note 2 for more details): (in thousands) Contractually required principal and interest $ 4,312,988 Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (non-accretable difference) (94,098 ) Expected cash flows to be collected 4,218,890 Interest component of expected cash flows (accretable yield) (474,208 ) Fair value of acquired loans $ 3,744,682 The following table presents changes in the accretable yield for PCI loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 : Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2018 2017 2018 2017 (in thousands) Balance, beginning of period $ 691,086 $ 269,831 $ 282,009 $ 294,514 Acquisition — — 474,208 — Accretion (60,536 ) (23,553 ) (125,667 ) (48,236 ) Balance, end of period $ 630,550 $ 246,278 $ 630,550 $ 246,278 Credit Risk Management For all of its loan types, Valley adheres to a credit policy designed to minimize credit risk while generating the maximum income given the level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis with subsequent approval by the Board of Directors annually. Credit authority relating to a significant dollar percentage of the overall portfolio is centralized and controlled by the Credit Risk Management Division and by the Credit Committee. A reporting system supplements the management review process by providing management with frequent reports concerning loan production, loan quality, internal loan classification, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies, non-performing, and potential problem loans. Loan portfolio diversification is an important factor utilized by Valley to manage its risk across business sectors and through cyclical economic circumstances.

Impaired loans, consisting of non-accrual commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans over $250 thousand and all loans which were modified in troubled debt restructuring, are individually evaluated for impairment. PCI loans are not classified as impaired loans because they are accounted for on a pool basis.

Troubled debt restructured loans . From time to time, Valley may extend, restructure, or otherwise modify the terms of existing loans, on a case-by-case basis, to remain competitive and retain certain customers, as well as assist other customers who may be experiencing financial difficulties. If the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and a concession has been made at the time of such modification, the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructured loan (TDR). Valley’s PCI loans are excluded from the TDR disclosures below because they are evaluated for impairment on a pool by pool basis. When an individual PCI loan within a pool is modified as a TDR, it is not removed from its pool. All TDRs are classified as impaired loans and are included in the impaired loan disclosures above. The majority of the concessions made for TDRs involve lowering the monthly payments on loans through either a reduction in interest rate below a market rate, an extension of the term of the loan without a corresponding adjustment to the risk premium reflected in the interest rate, or a combination of these two methods. The concessions rarely result in the forgiveness of principal or accrued interest. In addition, Valley frequently obtains additional collateral or guarantor support when modifying such loans. If the borrower has demonstrated performance under the previous terms of the loan and Valley’s underwriting process shows the borrower has the capacity to continue to perform under the restructured terms, the loan will continue to accrue interest. Non-accruing restructured loans may be returned to accrual status when there has been a sustained period of repayment performance (generally six consecutive months of payments) and both principal and interest are deemed collectible. Performing TDRs (not reported as non-accrual loans) totaled $83.7 million and $117.2 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. Non-performing TDRs totaled $54.1 million and $27.0 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , respectively. The following tables present loans by loan portfolio class modified as TDRs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 . The pre-modification and post-modification outstanding recorded investments disclosed in the tables below represent the loan carrying amounts immediately prior to the modification and the carrying amounts at June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively.

These specific reserves are included in the allowance for loan losses for loans individually evaluated for impairment disclosed in the "Impaired Loans" section above. There were no charge-offs related to TDR modifications during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The non-PCI loans modified as TDRs within the previous 12 months and for which there was a payment default ( 90 or more days past due) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 2017 Troubled Debt Restructurings Subsequently Defaulted Number of Contracts Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Recorded Investment ($ in thousands) Commercial and industrial 4 $ 3,212 6 $ 5,358 Total 4 $ 3,212 6 $ 5,358 Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 2017 Troubled Debt Restructurings Subsequently Defaulted Number of Contracts Recorded Investment Number of Contracts Recorded Investment ($ in thousands) Commercial and industrial 4 $ 3,212 7 $ 5,433 Commercial real estate — — 1 736 Residential mortgage — — 1 153 Total 4 $ 3,212 9 $ 6,322 Credit quality indicators . Valley utilizes an internal loan classification system as a means of reporting problem loans within commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and construction loan portfolio classes. Under Valley’s internal risk rating system, loan relationships could be classified as “Pass,” “Special Mention,” “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” and “Loss.” Substandard loans include loans that exhibit well-defined weakness and are characterized by the distinct possibility that Valley will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, based on currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans classified as Loss are those considered uncollectible with insignificant value and are charged-off immediately to the allowance for loan losses, and, therefore, not presented in the table below. Loans that do not currently pose a sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but pose weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention are deemed Special Mention. Loans rated as Pass do not currently pose any identified risk and can range from the highest to average quality, depending on the degree of potential risk. Risk ratings are updated any time the situation warrants. The following table presents the credit exposure by internally assigned risk rating by class of loans (excluding PCI loans) at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 based on the most recent analysis performed: Credit exposure - by internally assigned risk rating Pass Special Mention Substandard Doubtful Total Non-PCI Loans (in thousands) June 30, 2018 Commercial and industrial $ 2,853,692 $ 62,369 $ 56,095 $ 49,368 $ 3,021,524 Commercial real estate 9,019,309 35,200 55,136 — 9,109,645 Construction 994,407 523 1,772 — 996,702 Total $ 12,867,408 $ 98,092 $ 113,003 $ 49,368 $ 13,127,871 December 31, 2017 Commercial and industrial $ 2,375,689 $ 62,071 $ 96,555 $ 14,750 $ 2,549,065 Commercial real estate 8,447,865 48,009 65,977 — 8,561,851 Construction 808,091 360 1,513 — 809,964 Total $ 11,631,645 $ 110,440 $ 164,045 $ 14,750 $ 11,920,880 At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the commercial and industrial loans with doubtful risk ratings in the above table mostly consisted of non-accrual taxi medallion loans. For residential mortgages, automobile, home equity and other consumer loan portfolio classes (excluding PCI loans), Valley also evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented, and by payment activity.
