NM – Not meaningful
(1)In second quarter 2021, we elected to change our accounting method for low-income housing tax credit investments and elected to change the presentation of investment tax credits related to solar energy investments. Prior period financial statement line items have been revised to conform with the current period presentation. Prior period risk-based capital and certain other regulatory related metrics were not revised. For additional information, see the “Recent Developments” section and Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in this Report.
(2)Pre-tax pre-provision profit (PTPP) is total revenue less noninterest expense. Management believes that PTPP is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle.
(3)In second quarter 2020, diluted average common shares outstanding equaled average common shares outstanding because our securities convertible into common shares had an anti-dilutive effect.
(4)Book value per common share is common stockholders' equity divided by common shares outstanding. Tangible book value per common share is tangible common equity divided by common shares outstanding.
(5)Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents total equity less preferred equity, noncontrolling interests, goodwill, certain identifiable intangible assets (other than mortgage servicing rights) and goodwill and other intangibles on nonmarketable equity securities, net of applicable deferred taxes. The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. Management believes that return on average tangible common equity and tangible book value per common share, which utilize tangible common equity, are useful financial measures because they enable management, investors, and others to assess the Company’s use of equity. For additional information, including a corresponding reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures, see the “Capital Management – Tangible Common Equity” section in this Report.
(6)Represents Wells Fargo net income (loss) divided by average assets.
(7)Represents Wells Fargo net income (loss) applicable to common stock divided by average common stockholders’ equity.
(8)The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and noninterest income).
(9)The information presented reflects fully phased-in CET1, tier 1 capital, and RWAs, but reflects total capital in accordance with transition requirements. For additional information, see the “Capital Management” section and Note 23 (Regulatory Capital Requirements and Other Restrictions) to Financial Statements in this Report.
(10)Represents TLAC divided by the greater of RWAs determined under the Standardized and Advanced Approaches, which is our binding TLAC ratio.
(11)Represents high-quality liquid assets divided by projected net cash outflows, as each is defined under the LCR rule.

Management believes that return on average tangible common equity and tangible book value per common share, which utilize tangible common equity, are useful financial measures because they enable investors and others to assess the Company’s use of equity. For additional information, including a corresponding reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measures, see the “Capital Management – Tangible Common Equity” section in this Report.

(2)The efficiency ratio is noninterest expense divided by total revenue (net interest income and noninterest income).
(3)Pre-tax pre-provision profit (PTPP) is total revenue less noninterest expense. Management believes that PTPP is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company’s ability to generate capital to cover credit losses through a credit cycle.
(4)In second quarter 2020, diluted average common shares outstanding equaled average common shares outstanding because our securities convertible into common shares had an anti-dilutive effect.
(5)Consumer and small business banking deposits are total deposits excluding mortgage escrow and wholesale deposits.
(6)The risk-based capital ratios were calculated under the lower of the Standardized or Advanced Approach determined pursuant to Basel III. Beginning January 1, 2018, the requirements for calculating common equity tier 1 and tier 1 capital, along with risk-weighted assets, became fully phased-in. Accordingly, the information presented reflects fully phased-in common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital and risk-weighted assets, but reflects total capital still in accordance with Transition Requirements. See the “Capital Management” section and Note 23 (Regulatory and Agency Capital Requirements) to Financial Statements in this Report for additional information.

Federal Reserve Board Consent Order Regarding Governance Oversight and Compliance and Operational Risk Management
On February 2, 2018, the Company entered into a consent order with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB). As required by the consent order, the Company’s Board of Directors (Board) submitted to the FRB a plan to further enhance the Board’s governance and oversight of the Company, and the Company submitted to the FRB a plan to further improve the Company’s compliance and operational risk management program. The Company continues to engage with the FRB as the Company works to address the consent order provisions. The consent order also requires the Company, following the FRB’s acceptance and approval of the plans and the Company’s adoption and implementation of the plans, to complete an initial third-party review of the enhancements and improvements provided for in the plans. Until this third-party review is complete and the plans are approved and implemented to the satisfaction
of the FRB, the Company’s total consolidated assets as defined under the consent order will be limited to the level as of December 31, 2017. Compliance with this asset cap is measured on a two-quarter daily average basis to allow for management of temporary fluctuations. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, on April 8, 2020, the FRB amended the consent order to allow the Company to exclude from the asset cap any on-balance sheet exposure resulting from loans made by the Company in connection with the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program and the FRB’s Main Street Lending Program. As required under the amendment to the consent order, to the extent the Company chooses to exclude these exposures from the asset cap, certain fees and other economic benefits received by the Company from loans made in connection with these programs shall be transferred to the U.S. Treasury or to non-profit organizations approved by the FRB that support small businesses. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had not excluded these exposures from the asset cap. After removal of the asset cap, a second third-party review must also be conducted to assess the efficacy and sustainability of the enhancements and improvements.

Consent Orders with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Regarding Compliance Risk Management Program, Automobile Collateral Protection Insurance Policies, and Mortgage Interest Rate Lock Extensions
On April 20, 2018, the Company entered into consent orders with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Office

of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to pay an aggregate of $1 billion in civil money penalties to resolve matters regarding the Company’s compliance risk management program and past practices involving certain automobile collateral protection insurance (CPI) policies and certain mortgage interest rate lock extensions. As required by the consent orders, the Company submitted to the CFPB and OCC an enterprise-wide compliance risk management plan and a plan to enhance the Company’s internal audit program with respect to federal consumer financial law and the terms of the consent orders. In addition, as required by the consent orders, the Company submitted for non-objection plans to remediate customers affected by the automobile collateral protection insurance and mortgage interest rate lock matters, as well as a plan for the management of remediation activities conducted by the Company. The Company continues to work to address the provisions of the consent orders. The Company has not yet satisfied certain aspects of the consent orders, and as a result, we believe regulators may impose additional penalties or take other enforcement actions.

Overview (continued)
Retail Sales Practices Matters
In September 2016, we announced settlements with the CFPB, the OCC, and the Office of the Los Angeles City Attorney, and entered into related consent orders with the CFPB and the OCC, in connection with allegations that some of our retail customers received products and services they did not request. As a result, it remains a top priority to rebuild trust through a comprehensive action plan that includes making things right for our customers, team members,employees, and other stakeholders, and building a better Company for the future. Our priority of rebuilding trust has included numerous actions focused on identifying potential financial harm to customers resulting from these matters and providing remediation.
For additional information regarding retail sales practices matters, including related legal matters, see the “Risk Factors” section in our 20192020 Form 10-K and Note 1413 (Legal Actions) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Other Customer Remediation Activities
Our priority of rebuilding trust has also included an effort to identify other areas or instances where customers may have experienced financial harm, provide remediation as appropriate, and implement additional operational and control procedures. We are working with our regulatory agencies in this effort. We have previously disclosed key areas of focus as part of our rebuilding trust efforts and are in the process of providing remediation for those matters. We have accrued for the reasonablyprobable and estimable remediation costs related to our rebuilding trust efforts, which amounts may change based on additional facts and information, as well as ongoing reviews and communications with our regulators.
As our ongoing reviews continue, it is possible that in the future we may identify additional items or areas of potential concern. To the extent issues are identified, we will continue to assess any customer harm and provide remediation as appropriate. For moreadditional information, including related legal and regulatory risk, see the “Risk Factors” section in our 20192020 Form 10-K and Note 1413 (Legal Actions) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Financial PerformanceRecent Developments
Wells FargoChange in Accounting Policies
In second quarter 2021, we retroactively changed the accounting for certain tax-advantaged investments to better align the financial statement presentation with the economic impact of these investments.
Specifically, we elected to change our accounting for low-income housing tax credit investments from the equity method of accounting to the proportional amortization method. Under the proportional amortization method, the amortization of the investments and the related tax impacts are recognized in income tax expense. Previously, we recognized the amortization of the investments in other noninterest income and the related tax impacts were recognized in income tax expense.
Also, we elected to change the presentation of investment tax credits related to solar energy investments. We reclassified the investment tax credits on our consolidated balance sheet from accrued expenses and other liabilities to a reduction of the carrying value of the investment balances. We also reclassified the investment tax credits from income tax expense to interest income for solar energy leases or noninterest income for solar energy equity investments.
These changes had a net loss of $2.4 billion in second quarter 2020 with diluted loss per common share of $0.66, compared withnominal impact on net income of $6.2 billion and diluted income per common share (EPS)retained earnings on an annual basis; however, our quarterly results were affected in both the second and third quarters of $1.30 a year ago. Financial performance items for second quarter 2020 compared with the same period a year ago included:
revenue of $17.8 billion, down$3.7 billion, with net interest income of $9.9 billion, down$2.2 billion, or 18%, and noninterest income of $8.0 billion, down$1.5 billion, or 16%;
a net interest margin of 2.25%, down 57 basis points;
provision for credit losses of $9.5 billion, up $9.0 billion;
noninterest expense of $14.6 billion, up $1.1 billion, or 8%;
an efficiency ratio of 81.6%, compared with 62.3%;
average loans of $971.3 billion, up$23.8 billion;
average deposits of $1.39 trillion, up$117.7 billion;
net loan charge-off rate of 0.46% (annualized) of average loans, compared with 0.28% (annualized);
nonaccrual loans of $7.6 billion, up$1.7 billion, or 28%; and
return on assets (ROA) of (0.49)% and return on equity (ROE) of (6.63)%, down from 1.31% and 13.26%, respectively.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Our balance sheet remained strong during second quarter 2020 with solid levels of liquidity and capital. Our total assets were $1.97 trillion at June 30, 2020. Cash and other short-term investments increased $98.4 billion from December 31, 2019, reflecting an increase in cash balances, partially offset by lower federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements. Debt securities decreased $24.5 billion from December 31, 2019, predominantly due to a decrease in available-for-sale debt securities, partially offset by an increase in held-to-maturity debt securities. Loans decreased $27.1 billion from December 31, 2019, due to paydowns in real estate 1-4 family mortgage loans, credit card loans, and commercial and industrial loans, as well as the designation in second quarter 2020 of real estate 1-4 family mortgage loans as mortgage loans held for sale (MLHFS). The decrease in loans was partially offset by an increase in commercial real estate loans driven by new originations and draws on construction loans.
Average deposits in second quarter 2020 were $1.39 trillion, up $117.7 billion from second quarter 2019, on growth across the deposit gathering businesses reflecting customers’ preferences for liquidity due to the impact of these changes on the estimated annual effective income tax rate applied to each quarter. These changes also improved our efficiency ratio and generally increased our effective income tax rate from what was previously reported.
Prior period financial statement line items have been revised to conform with the current period presentation. Prior period risk-based capital and certain other regulatory related metrics were not revised. For additional information, including the financial statement line items impacted by these changes, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in this Report.

The increased losses in our commercial and industrial portfolio were primarily relatedcommunities to higher net loan charge-offs in our oil and gas portfolio. Our consumer portfolio net loan charge-offs were $511 million, or 48 basis points (annualized) of average consumer loans, in second quarter 2020, compared with net loan charge-offs of $488 million, or 45 basis points (annualized), a year ago, predominantly driven by increased losses in our residential real estate and automobile loan portfolios, partially offset by lower losses in our credit card and other revolving credit and installment loan portfolios.get through these unprecedented times.

PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAMThe allowanceCoronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) created funding for credit losses (ACL) forthe Small Business Administration’s (SBA) loan program providing forgiveness of up to the full principal amount of qualifying loans guaranteed under a program called the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Since its inception, we have funded approximately 282,000 loans under the PPP totaling approximately $14.0 billion, and more than $5.8 billion of $20.4 billion atprincipal forgiveness has been provided on qualifying PPP loans. We deferred approximately $420 million of SBA processing fees in 2020 that will be recognized as interest income over the terms of the loans. We voluntarily committed to donate all of the gross processing fees received from PPP loans funded in 2020. Through June 30, 2020, increased $9.82021, we donated approximately $260 million of these processing fees. We funded approximately $3.5 billion compared with a year ago, and increased $10.0 billion from December 31, 2019. We had a $11.4 billion increase in the allowance for credit losses forof PPP loans in the first half of 2021 and deferred approximately $270 million of related SBA processing fees that will be recognized as interest income over the terms of the loans. We have committed to donate any net profits from processing fees received from PPP loans funded in 2021. For additional information on the CARES Act and the PPP, see the “Overview – Recent Developments – COVID-19 Pandemic” section in our 2020 partially offset byForm 10-K.

LIBOR Transition
The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is a $1.3 billion decreasewidely-referenced benchmark rate, which is published in five currencies and a range of tenors, and seeks to estimate the cost at which banks can borrow on an unsecured basis from other banks. On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority and the administrator of LIBOR announced that LIBOR will no longer be published on a representative basis after December 31, 2021, with the exception of the most commonly used tenors of U.S. dollar (USD) LIBOR which will no longer be published on a representative basis after June 30, 2023. Federal banking agencies have issued guidance strongly encouraging banking organizations to cease using USD LIBOR as a result of our adoption on January 1, 2020, of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial

Capital Actions and Restrictions
In June 2021, the Company completed the 2021 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) stress test process. We maintained a solidexpect our stress capital position inbuffer (SCB) for the first half of 2020, with total equity of $180.1 billion at Juneperiod October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2020, compared with $188.0 billion at December2022, to be 3.10%.

On July 27, 2021, the Board approved an increase to the Company's third quarter 2021 common stock dividend to $0.20 per share. Additionally, our capital plan includes gross common shares outstanding by 14.9 million shares from December 31, 2019, through share repurchases partially offset by issuances and conversions of preferred shares. On March 15, 2020, we, along with the other members of the Financial Services Forum (which consists of the eight largest and most diversified financial institutions headquartered in the U.S.), decided to temporarily suspend share repurchasesapproximately $18 billion for the remainder of the firstfour-quarter period beginning third quarter and for2021 through second quarter 2020.

Business and Portfolio Divestitures
On July 28, 2020,February 23, 2021, we announced an agreement to sell Wells Fargo Asset Management for a purchase price of $2.1 billion.

Capital and Liquidity
We believe an important measuremaintained a strong capital position in the first half of 2021, with total equity of $193.1 billion at June 30, 2021, compared with $185.7 billion at December 31, 2020. Our liquidity and regulatory capital ratios remained strong at June 30, 2021, including:
our capital strength isliquidity coverage ratio (LCR) was 123%, which continued to exceed the regulatory minimum of 100%;
our Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio was 12.07%, which was 10.97% at June 30, 2020, down from 11.14% at December 31, 2019, but still above our internal target of 10% andcontinued to exceed both the regulatory minimumrequirement of 9%. As of June 30, 2020, and our current internal target; and

See the “Capital Management” sectionand the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Liquidity Risk and Funding” sections in this Report for moreadditional information regarding our capital and liquidity, including the calculation of our regulatory capital and liquidity amounts.

Credit Quality
Credit quality reflected the improving economic environment.
The allowance for credit losses (ACL) for loans of $16.4 billion at June 30, 2021, decreased $3.3 billion from December 31, 2020.
Our provision for credit losses for loans was $(2.4) billion in the first half of 2021, down from $13.4 billion in the same period a year ago. The decrease in the ACL for loans and the provision for credit losses in the first half of 2021, compared with the same period a year ago, reflected improvements in current and forecasted economic conditions.

Earnings Performance (continued)




Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the interest earned on debt securities, loans (including yield-related loan fees) and other interest-earning assets minus the interest paid on deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term debt. The net interest margin is the average yield on earning assets minus the average interest rate paid for deposits and our other sources of funding. Net interest income and net interest margin decreased in both the second quarter and first half of 2021, compared with the same periods a year ago, due to the impact of lower interest rates and lower loan balances reflecting soft demand and elevated prepayments, as well as higher mortgage-backed securities premium amortization, partially offset by a reduction in long-term debt. The first half of 2021 was also impacted by unfavorable hedge ineffectiveness accounting results.
Table 1 presents the individual components of net interest income and the net interest margin. Net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis in Table 1 to consistently reflect income from taxable and tax-exempt loans and debt and equity securities based on a 21% federal statutory tax rate for the periods endingended June 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020.
Net interest income and the net interest margin in any one period can be significantly affected by a variety of factors including the mix of earning assets in our portfolio, the overall size of our earning assets portfolio, and the cost of funding those assets. In addition, variable sources of interest income, such as loan fees, periodic dividends, and collection of interest on nonaccrual loans, can fluctuate from period to period.
Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $10.0 billion and $21.5 billion in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, compared with $12.3 billion and $24.7 billion for the same periods a year ago. Net interest margin on a taxable-equivalent basis was 2.25% and 2.42% in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, compared with 2.82% and 2.86% for the same periods a year ago. The decrease inFor additional information about net interest income and net interest margin, see the “Earnings Performance – Net Interest Income” section in the second quarter and first half ofour 2020 compared with the same periods a year ago, was driven by unfavorable impacts of repricing due to lower market rates and changes in mix of earning assets and funding sources, including sales of high yielding Pick-a-Pay loans in 2019.Form 10-K.
Average earning assets increased $40.0 billion in second quarter 2020, compared with the same period a year ago. The change was driven by increases in:
6
average interest-earning deposits with banks of Wells Fargo & Company$35.3 billion;
average loans of $23.8 billion;


average mortgage loans held for sale of $7.5 billion; and
other earning assets of $3.0 billion;
partially offset by decreases in:
average federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements of $21.7 billion; and
average equity securities of $7.8 billion.


Average earning assets increased $44.9 billion in the first half of 2020, compared with the same period a year ago. The change was driven by increases in:
average loans of $19.4 billion;
average interest-earning deposits with banks of $12.0 billion;
average mortgage loans held for sale of $7.0 billion;
average debt securities of $4.2 billion;
other earning assets of $3.0 billion; and
average federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements of $1.1 billion;
partially offset by decreases in:
average equity securities of $1.7 billion.

Deposits are an important low-cost source of funding and affect both net interest income and the net interest margin. Deposits include noninterest-bearing deposits, interest-bearing checking, market rate and other savings, savings certificates, other time deposits, and deposits in non-U.S. offices. Average deposits were $1.39 trillion and $1.36 trillion in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, compared with $1.27 trillion for both the second quarter and first half of 2019, and represented 143% of average loans in second quarter 2020 and 141% in the first half of 2020, compared with 134% in second quarter 2019 and 133% in the first half of 2019. Average deposits were 78% and 76% of average earning assets in the second quarter and first half of 2020, compared with 73% in both periods a year ago. The average deposit cost for second quarter 2020 was 17 basis points, down 53 basis points from a year ago, reflecting the lower interest rate environment.

Our portfolio of loans serviced for others was $1.6 trillion at both June 30, 2020, andDecember 31, 2019. At June 30, 2020, the ratio of combined residential and commercial mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) to related loans serviced for others was 0.52%, compared with 0.79% at December 31, 2019.
Net servicing income decreased $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago. The decrease in net servicing income in the second quarter and first half of 2020, compared with the same periods a year ago, was driven by MSR valuation losses, net of hedge results, reflecting higher expected servicing costs and updates to other valuation model assumptions affecting prepayment estimates that are independent of interest rate changes, such as changes in home prices and in customer credit profiles. The decrease in net servicing income in the second quarter and first half of 2020 also reflected continued prepayments and the impacts of customer accommodations associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. See the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Mortgage Banking Interest Rate and Market Risk” section in this Report for additional information regarding our MSRs risks and hedging approach.
Net gains on mortgage loan origination/sales activities increased $525 million and $289 million in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago, due to higher residential real estate held for sale origination volumes and margins.
The production margin on residential held for sale mortgage loan originations, which represents net gains on residential mortgage loan origination/sales activities divided by total residential held for sale mortgage loan originations, provides a measure of the profitability of our residential mortgage origination activity. The increase in the production margin in the second quarter and first half of 2020,compared with the same periods a year ago, was due to higher margins in both our retail and correspondent production channels, as well as a shift to more
retail origination volume, which has a higher margin. Table 2a presents the information used in determining the production margin.

Table 3a presents results for our deferred compensation plan and related hedges. Historically, we used equity securities as economic hedges of our deferred compensation plan liabilities. Changes in the fair value of the equity securities used as economic hedges were recorded in net gains (losses) from equity securities within noninterest income. In second quarter 2020, we entered into arrangements to transition our economic hedges of the deferred compensation plan liabilities from equity securities to derivative instruments. ChangesAs a result of this transition, changes in fair value of derivatives used as economic hedges are presented within the same financial statement line as the related business activity being hedged. As a result of this transition, we presented the net gains/(losses) on derivatives from economic hedges onto economically hedge the deferred compensation plan liabilitiesare reported in personnel expense.expense rather than in net gains (losses) from equity securities within noninterest income.

Operating Segment Results
As of June 30, 2020, we were organized forOur management reporting purposesis organized into threefour reportable operating segments: CommunityConsumer Banking and Lending; Commercial Banking; WholesaleCorporate and Investment Banking; and Wealth and Investment Management (WIM). TheseManagement. All other business activities that are not included in the reportable operating segments are definedhave been included in Corporate. For additional information, see Table 4. We define our reportable operating segments by type of product type and customer segment, and their results are based on our management reporting process. The management reporting process measures the performance of the reportable operating segments based on the Company’s management structure, and the results are regularly reviewed by our Chief Executive Officer and Operating Committee. The management reporting process is based on U.S. GAAP withand includes specific adjustments, such as for funds transfer pricing for asset/liability management, for shared revenues and expenses, and tax-equivalenttaxable-equivalent adjustments to consistently reflect income from taxable and tax-exempt sources. On February 11, 2020,sources, which allows management to assess performance consistently across the operating segments.
In March 2021, we announced a new organizational structurean agreement to sell our Corporate Trust Services business and, in second quarter 2021, we moved the business from the Commercial Banking operating segment to Corporate. Prior period balances have been revised to conform with five principal lines of business: Consumer and Small Business Banking; Consumer Lending; Commercial Banking; Corporate and Investment Banking; and Wealth and Investment Management.the current period presentation. This new organizational structure is intended to help drive operating, control, and business performance. In July 2020, the Company completed the transition to this new organizational structure, including finalizing leadership for these principal business lines and aligning management reporting and allocation methodologies. These changes willchange did not impact the previously reported consolidated financial results of the Company. Accordingly,
In second quarter 2021, we will updateelected to change our accounting method for low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) investments and elected to change the presentation of investment tax credits related to solar energy investments. These accounting policy changes had a nominal impact on reportable operating segment disclosures, including comparativeresults. Prior period financial results,statement line items for the Company, as well as for the reportable operating segments, have been revised to conform with the current period presentation. Our LIHTC investments are included in third quarter 2020. the Corporate and Investment Banking operating segment and our solar energy investments are included in the Commercial Banking operating segment. For additional information, see the “Recent Developments” section and Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Funds Transfer Pricing Corporate treasury manages a funds transfer pricing methodology that considers interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and other product characteristics. Operating segments pay a funding charge for their assets and receive a funding credit for their deposits, both of which are included in net interest income. The net impact of the funding charges or credits is recognized in corporate treasury.
Revenue and Expense Sharing When lines of business jointly serve customers, the line of business that is responsible for providing the product or service recognizes revenue or expense with a referral fee paid or an allocation of cost to the other line of business based on established internal revenue-sharing agreements.
When a line of business uses a service provided by another line of business or enterprise function (included in Corporate), expense is generally allocated based on the cost and use of the service provided.
Taxable-Equivalent Adjustments Taxable-equivalent adjustments related to tax-exempt income on certain loans and debt securities are included in net interest income, while taxable-equivalent adjustments related to income tax credits for low-income housing and renewable energy investments are included in noninterest income, in each case with corresponding impacts to income tax expense (benefit). Adjustments are included in Corporate, Commercial Banking, and Corporate and Investment Banking and are eliminated to reconcile to the Company’s consolidated financial results.
Allocated Capital Reportable operating segments are allocated capital under a risk-sensitive framework that is primarily based on aspects of our regulatory capital requirements, and the assumptions and methodologies used to allocate capital are periodically assessed and revised. Management believes that return on allocated capital is a useful financial measure because it enables management, investors, and others to assess a reportable operating segment’s use of capital.
Selected Metrics We present certain financial and nonfinancial metrics that management uses when evaluating reportable operating segment results. Management believes that these metrics are useful to investors and others to assess the performance, customer growth, and trends of reportable operating segments or lines of business.

Table 5 and the following discussion present our results by reportable operating segment. For additional description of our operating segments, including additional financial information, and the underlying management reporting process, see Note 22 (Operating Segments) to Financial Statements in this Report.
We perform a goodwill impairment assessment annually in the fourth quarter. However, in second quarter 2020, we performed another interim, quantitative impairment assessment of our goodwill given deteriorated macroeconomic conditions from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These market conditions led to a sharp decline in share prices for Wells Fargo and other companies across many industries. As part of our interim assessment, we updated our assumptions used in both the income and market approaches for estimating fair values of our reporting units. The update to assumptions incorporated current market-based information such as price-earnings information and a regular update to our internal enterprise-wide
forecasts, which reflected lower interest rates and higher expected credit losses, as well as a weaker macroeconomic outlook.
Since our annual assessment, we have observed declines in the fair values of our reporting units and the amount of excess fair value over the carrying amount of our reporting units; however, we did not have evidence of goodwill impairment as of June 30, 2020. The fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its corresponding carrying amount by 18% or higher. The estimated fair value of our corporate and investment banking reporting unit, included within the Wholesale Banking operating segment, increased in second quarter 2020 as it reflected recent updates in price-earnings information used in our market approach valuations. The increase in fair value resulted in significant excess fair value over the carrying amount for the reporting unit compared with the prior quarter.
Wells Fargo & Company13


The aggregate fair value of our reporting units exceeded our market capitalization as of June 30, 2020. Our individual reporting unit fair values cannot be directly correlated to the Company’s market capitalization. However, we considered several factors in the comparison of aggregate fair value to market capitalization, including (i) control premiums adjusted for the current market environment, which include synergies that may not be reflected in current market pricing, (ii) degree of complexity and execution risk at the reporting unit level compared with the enterprise level, and (iii) issues or risks related to the Company level that may not be included in the fair value of the individual reporting units. Given the uncertainty of the severity or length of the current economic downturn, we will continue to monitor our performance against our internal forecasts as well as market conditions for circumstances that could have a further negative effect on the estimated fair values of our reporting units.
In connection with the planned change to our operating segment disclosures, we will realign our goodwill to the reporting units that underlie our operating segments, which could impact the results of our goodwill impairment assessment. We will reassess goodwill for impairment at the time of the realignment. For additional information about goodwill, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Second quarter 2021 vs. second quarter 2020
Revenue increased driven by:
higher mortgage banking noninterest income due to higher gains related to the re-securitization of loans we purchased from GNMA loan securitization pools in 2020, as well as higher income from MSR valuation changes and related hedges;
higher card fees reflecting higher interchange fees, net of rewards, driven by increased purchase and transaction volumes; and
higher deposit-related fees driven by lower fee waivers and reversals compared with net income of $3.1 billion in the same period a year ago, and reported a net loss of $176 million in the first half of 2020, compared with net income of $6.0 billion in the same period a year ago.
Revenue decreased $3.0 billion and $5.3 billion in the second quarter and first half of 2020 respectively, compared withthat included elevated fee waivers due to our actions to support customers during the same periods a year ago. The decrease in the second quarter and first half of 2020, compared with the same periods a year ago, was driven by COVID-19 pandemic;
partially offset by:
lower net interest income reflecting the lower interest rate environment and lower noninterestloan balances; and
lower other income reflectingdriven by lower fees from reduced consumer spending and transaction activitygains on loan sales.

Provision for credit losses decreased driven by an improving economic environment.

Noninterest expense decreased driven by:
lower operating losses due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,lower expense for litigation accruals and customer remediation accruals;
lower personnel expense driven by additional payments in second quarter 2020 for certain customer-facing and support employees and for back-up child care services, as well as lower branch staffing expense in second quarter 2021 related to efficiency initiatives in Consumer and Small Business Banking, partially offset by higher net gains on debt securities. The decreaserevenue-related compensation in Home Lending; and
lower expense allocated from enterprise functions, reflecting risk management and technology support related expenses;
partially offset by:
higher charitable donations expense due to the donation of PPP processing fees; and
higher FDIC deposit assessment expense driven by a higher assessment rate.

First half of 2021 vs. first half of 2020 compared with the same period a year ago, also reflected net losses on equity securities (including lower deferred compensation plan investment results,

which were largely offset in personnel expense).Revenue increased driven by:
The provision for credit losses increased $2.9 billion and $3.9 billion in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago, due to increases in the allowance for credit losses reflecting current and forecasted economic conditions due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Noninterest expense increased $1.1 billion and $561 million in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago. The increase in the second quarter and first half of 2020, compared with the same periods a year ago, washigher mortgage banking noninterest income due to higher operating losses, occupancy expense, outside professional services expense,retail HFS origination volumes and technologymargins, and equipment expense,higher income from MSR valuation changes and related hedges; and
higher card fees reflecting higher interchange fees, net of rewards, driven by increased purchase and transaction volumes, partially offset by lower other expenses. The increase in second quarter 2020, compared with the same period a year ago, also reflectedlate fees due to higher personnel expense.
payment rates;

Average loans decreased $8.4 billion and $1.9 billion in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, compared with the same periods a year ago. The decrease in second quarter 2020, compared with the same period a year ago, was driven by lower real estate 1-4 family first mortgage loans and lower junior lien mortgage loans, partially offset by higher commercial loans. The decrease in the first half of 2020, compared with the same period a year ago, was due to lower junior lien mortgage loans, partially offset by higher automobile loans.
Average deposits increased $70.9 billion and $51.9 billion, in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, compared
with the same periods a year ago, driven by customers’ preferences for liquidity due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

WIM Advisory Assets Brokerage advisory, commissions and other fees are received for providing full-service and discount brokerage services predominantlyIn addition to retail brokerage clients. Offeringtransactional accounts, WIM offers advisory account relationships to our brokerage clients is an important component of our broader strategy of meeting their financial needs. Although a majority of our retail brokerage client assets are in accounts that earn brokerage commissions, the fees from those accounts generally represent transactional commissions based on the number and size of transactions executed at the client’s direction.customers. Fees from advisory accounts are based on a percentage of the market value of the assets as of the beginning of the quarter, which vary across the account types based on the distinct services provided, and are affected by investment performance as well as asset inflows and outflows. A majority of our brokerage advisory, commissions and other fee income is earned from advisory accounts. Table 4d shows advisory account client assets as a percentage of total retail brokerage client assets at June 30, 2020 and 2019.

Retail Brokerage advisoryAdvisory accounts include assets that are financial advisor-directed and separately managed by third-party managers, as well as certain client-directed brokerage assets where we earn a fee for advisory and other services, but do not have investment discretion.
WIM also manages personal trust and other assets for high net worth clients, with fee income earned based on a percentage of the market value of these assets. Table 5h presents advisory assets activity by WIM line of business for the second quarter and first half of 2021 and 2020. Management believes that advisory assets is a useful metric because it allows management, investors, and others to assess how changes in asset amounts may impact the generation of certain asset-based fees.
For second quarter 20202021 and 2019,2020, the average fee rate by account type ranged from 8050 to 120 basis points.

Earnings Performance (continued)
Corporate includes our rail car leasing business, which had long-lived operating lease assets (as a lessor) of $5.6 billion, which was net of $1.9 billion of accumulated depreciation, as of June 30, 2021. The average age of our rail cars is 21 years and the rail cars are typically leased under short-term leases of 3 to 5 years. Our three largest concentrations, which represented 55% of our rail car fleet as of June 30, 2021, were rail cars used for the transportation of agricultural grain, coal, and cement/sand products. Impairments may result in the future based on changing economic and market conditions affecting the long-term demand and utility of specific types of rail cars. Our assumptions for impairment are sensitive to estimated
utilization and rental rates, as well as the estimated economic life of the leased asset. For additional information on the accounting for impairment of operating lease assets, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our 2020 Form 10-K.
In addition, Corporate includes assets under management (AUM) and assets under administration (AUA) for Institutional Retirement and Trust (IRT) client assets of $20 billion and $580 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2021, which we continue to administer at the direction of the buyer pursuant to a transition services agreement. The transition services agreement terminates in December 2021, with available options to extend.

See the “Balance Sheet Analysis – Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities” section in balance sheet carrying value from December 31, 2019, as purchases were more than offset by runoff and sales.
The total net unrealized gainsour 2020 Form 10-K for information on available-for-sale debt securities were $4.4 billion at June 30, 2020, up from net unrealized gains of $3.4 billion at December 31, 2019, driven by lower interest rates, partially offset by wider credit spreads. For a discussion of our investment management objectives and practices see the “Balance Sheet Analysis” section in our 2019 Form 10-K. Also, seeand the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management” section in this Report for information on our use of investments to manage liquidity and interest rate risk.
After adoptionThe fair value of CECL, we recorded an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities. Total provision/(reversal of provision) for credit losses onAFS debt securities was $(31) milliondecreased from December 31, 2020, as purchases were more than offset by runoff, sales and $141 million in the second quarter and first half of 2020. For a discussion of our accounting policies relatingtransfers to the allowance for credit losses onHTM debt securities due to actions taken to reposition the overall portfolio for capital management purposes.
The net amortized cost of HTM debt securities increased from December 31, 2020, as purchases and underlying considerations and analysis, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) and Note 5 (Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities) to Financial Statements in this Report.transfers from AFS debt securities were partially offset by runoff.
At June 30, 2020, debt securities included $47.3 billion of municipal bonds, of which 97.7% were rated “A-” or better based predominantly on external ratings. Additionally, some2021, 94% of the debt securities in our total municipal bond portfolio are guaranteed against loss by bond insurers. These guaranteed bonds are predominantly investment gradecombined AFS and were generally underwritten in accordance with our own investment standards prior to the determination to purchase, without relying on the bond insurer’s guarantee in making the investment decision. The credit quality of our municipal bond holdings are monitored as part of our ongoing evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses on debt securities.
The weighted-average expected maturity of debt securities available-for-sale was 4.3 years at June 30, 2020. The expected
remaining maturity is shorter than the remaining contractual maturity for the 65% of this portfolio that is mortgage-backed securities (MBS) because borrowers generally have the right to prepay obligations before the underlying mortgages mature. The estimated effects of a 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates on the fair value and the expected remaining maturity of the MBS available-for-sale portfolio are shown in Table 6.

Deposits
Deposits were $1.4 trillion at June 30, 2020, up $88.1 billionincreased from December 31, 2019,2020, reflecting:
higher levels of liquidity and savings for consumer customers reflecting strong growth across our deposit gathering businesses driven by impacts fromgovernment stimulus programs and payment deferral programs, as well as continued economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic including customers’ preferences for liquidity, loan payment deferrals, tax payment deferrals, stimulus checks, and lower consumer spending. The increase in deposits was pandemic;
partially offset by by:
actions taken to manage tounder the asset cap resulting in
declines in other time deposits, driven by lowersuch as brokered certificates of
deposit (CDs), and declines ininterest-bearing deposits in non-U.S. offices.

Table 8 provides additional information regarding deposits. Information regarding the impact of deposits on net interest income and a comparison of average deposit balances is provided in the “Earnings Performance – Net Interest Income” section and Table 1 earlier in this Report.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial instruments and to determine fair value disclosures. See the “Critical Accounting Policies” section in our 2019 Form 10-K and Note 16 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities) to Financial Statements in this Report for a description of our critical accounting policy related to fair value of financial instruments and a discussion of our fair value measurement techniques.
Table 9 presents the summary of the fair value of financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, and the amounts measured using significant Level 3 inputs (before derivative netting adjustments). The fair value of the remaining assets and liabilities were measured using valuation methodologies involving market-based or market-derived information (collectively Level 1 and 2 measurements).

Equity
Total equity was $180.1 billion at June 30, 2020, compared with $188.0 billion at December 31, 2019. The decrease was driven by common stock repurchases of $3.4 billion (substantially all of which occurred in first quarter 2020), preferred stock redemptions of $2.5 billion, dividends of $4.8 billion, and a net loss of $1.8 billion, partially offset by the issuance of common and preferred stock of $4.0 billion.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the ordinary course of business, we engage in financial transactions that are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, or may be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in amounts that are different from the full contract or notional amount of the transaction. Our off-balance sheet arrangements include commitments to lend and purchase debt and equity securities, transactions with unconsolidated entities, guarantees, derivatives, and other commitments. These transactions are designed to (1) meet the financial needs of customers, (2) manage our credit, market or liquidity risks, and/or (3) diversify our funding sources. For additional information on our contractual obligations that may require future cash payments, see the “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements – Contractual Cash Obligations” section in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Commitments to Lend
We enter into commitments to lend to customers, which are usually at a stated interest rate, if funded, and for specific purposes and time periods. When we enter into commitments, we are exposed to credit risk. The maximum credit risk for these commitments will generally be lower than the contractual amount because a significant portion of these commitments are not funded. For moreadditional information, see Note 64 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Transactions with Unconsolidated Entities
In the normal course of business, we enter into various types of on- and off-balance sheet transactions with special purpose entities (SPEs), which are corporations, trusts, limited liability companies or partnerships that are established for a limited purpose. Generally, SPEs are formed in connection with securitization transactions and are considered variable interest entities (VIEs). For additional information, see Note 8 (Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Guarantees and Other Arrangements
Guarantees are contracts that contingently require us to make payments to a guaranteed party based on an event or a change in an underlying asset, liability, rate or index. Guarantees are generally in the form of standby and direct pay letters of credit, written options, recourse obligations, exchange and clearing house guarantees, indemnifications, and other types of similar arrangements. For additional information, see Note 11 (Guarantees and Other Commitments) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Commitments to Purchase Debt and Equity Securities
We enter into commitments to purchase securities under resale agreements. We also may enter into commitments to purchase debt and equity securities to provide capital for customers’ funding, liquidity or other future needs. For moreadditional information, see Note 1311 (Guarantees Pledged Assets and Collateral, and Other Commitments) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Transactions with Unconsolidated Entities
In the normal course of business, we enter into various types of on- and off-balance sheet transactions with special purpose entities (SPEs), which are corporations, trusts, limited liability companies or partnerships that are established for a limited purpose. Generally, SPEs are formed in connection with securitization transactions and are considered variable interest entities (VIEs). For more information, see Note 10 (Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Guarantees and Other Arrangements
Guarantees are contracts that contingently require us to make payments to a guaranteed party based on an event or a change in an underlying asset, liability, rate or index. Guarantees are generally in the form of standby letters of credit, direct pay letters of credit, written options, recourse obligations, exchange and clearing house guarantees, indemnifications, and other types of similar arrangements. For more information, see Note 13 (Guarantees, Pledged Assets and Collateral, and Other Commitments) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Derivatives
We use derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, including interest rate risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value, and volume can be measured in terms of the notional amount, which is generally not exchanged, but is used only as the basis on which interest and other payments are determined. The notional amount is not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and is not, when viewed in isolation, a meaningful measure of the risk profile of the instruments. For moreadditional information, see Note 1514 (Derivatives) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Risk Management
Wells Fargo manages a variety of risks that can significantly affect our financial performance and our ability to meet the expectations of our customers, shareholders, regulators and other stakeholders. For moreadditional information about how we manage risk, see the “Risk Management” section in our 20192020 Form 10-K. The discussion that follows supplements our discussion of the management of certain risks contained in the “Risk Management” section in our 20192020 Form 10-K.
Credit Risk Management
We define credit risk as the risk of loss associated with a borrower or counterparty default (failure to meet obligations in accordance with agreed upon terms). Credit risk exists with many of our assets and exposures such as debt security holdings, certain derivatives, and loans.
The Board’s CreditRisk Committee has primary oversight responsibility for credit risk. A Credit Subcommittee of the Risk Committee assists the Risk Committee in providing oversight of credit risk. At the management level, Credit Risk, which is part of the Company’s Independent Risk Management (IRM) organization,IRM, has primary oversight responsibility for credit risk. Credit Risk reports to the Chief Risk Officer (CRO)CRO and also providessupports periodic reports related to credit risk provided to the Board’s Risk Committee or its Credit Committee.

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act
On March 25, 2020, the U.S. Senate approved the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act), a bill designed to provide a wide range of economic relief to consumers and businesses in the U.S.

Subcommittee.
PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAMThe CARES Act created funding for the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) loan program providing forgiveness of up to the full principal amount of qualifying loans guaranteed under a new program called the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The intent of the PPP is to provide loans to small businesses in order to keep their employees on the payroll and make certain other eligible payments. Loans granted under the PPP are guaranteed by the SBA and are fully forgivable if used for qualifying expenses such as payroll, mortgage interest, rent and utilities. If the loans are not forgiven, they must be repaid over a term not to exceed five years. Under the PPP, through June 30, 2020, we funded $10.1 billion in loans to more than 179,000 borrowers. As of June 30, 2020, $9.8 billion of principal remained outstanding on these PPP loans. We deferred $397 million of SBA processing fees that will be recognized as interest income over the term of the loans. We have committed to donating the gross processing fees received from funding PPP loans to non-profit organizations that support small businesses as the fees are recognized in earnings. We did not donate any processing fees during second quarter 2020.

PPP LIQUIDITY FACILITYLoan Portfolio The FRB established the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility which is intended to provide liquidity to financial institutions participating in PPP lending. Under this program, we act as a correspondent between the Federal Reserve Banks and community development financial institutions (CDFIs) to facilitate cash flows between the two entities. We do not receive any fees for our participation in this program.

SBA SIX MONTH PAYMENT ASSISTANCE Under the CARES Act, the SBA will make principal and interest payments on behalf of
certain borrowers for six months. As of June 30, 2020, over 20,000 of our lending customers were eligible for SBA payment assistance, and we had received $193 million in payments from the SBA.

MAIN STREET LENDING PROGRAM The Federal Reserve Board (FRB) established the Main Street Lending Program to provide additional financial support for small and medium sized businesses. Under the terms of the program, eligible lenders will perform underwriting and originate loans to eligible borrowers and subsequently sell 95% of theOur loan to a special purpose vehicle established by the FRB. We have registered as an eligible lender under the program and anticipate that we will begin funding customer loans in third quarter 2020.

Loan Portfolios
The following discussion focuses on our loan portfolios which represent the largest component of assets on our consolidated balance sheet for which we have credit risk. Table 109 presents our total loans outstanding by portfolio segment and class of financing receivable.

We manage our credit risk by establishing what we believe are sound credit policies for underwriting new business, while monitoring and reviewing the performance of our existing loan portfolios. We employ various credit risk management and monitoring activities to mitigate risks associated with multiple risk factors affecting loans we hold could acquire or originate including:
Loan concentrations and related credit qualityquality;
Counterparty credit riskrisk;
Economic and market conditionsconditions;
Legislative or regulatory mandatesmandates;
Changes in interest ratesrates;
Merger and acquisition activitiesactivities; and
Reputation riskrisk.

Our credit risk management oversight process is governed centrally, but provides for decentralizeddirect management and accountability by our lines of business. Our overall credit process
Risk Management - Credit Risk Management (continued)

includes comprehensive credit policies, disciplined credit underwriting, frequent and detailed risk measurement and modeling, extensive credit training programs, and a continual loan review and audit process.
A key to our credit risk management is adherence to a well-controlled underwriting process, which we believe is appropriate for the needs of our customers as well as investors who purchase the loans or securities collateralized by the loans.
Credit Quality Overview  Credit quality in second quarter 20202021 reflected continued to decline due toimprovement in the economic impactenvironment. In particular:
Nonaccrual loans were $7.4 billion at June 30, 2021, down from $8.7 billion at December 31, 2020. Commercial nonaccrual loans decreased to $3.5 billion at June 30, 2021, compared with $4.8 billion at December 31, 2020, and consumer nonaccrual loans declined to $3.8 billion at June 30, 2021, compared with $3.9 billion at December 31, 2020. Nonaccrual loans represented 0.86% of total loans at June 30, 2021, compared with 0.98% at December 31, 2020.
Net loan charge-offs as a percentage of our average commercial and consumer loan portfolios were 0.07% and 0.32% in the second quarter and 0.10% and 0.35% in the first half of 2021, respectively, compared with 0.44% and 0.48% in the second quarter and 0.35% and 0.51% in the first half of 2020.
Loans that are not government insured/guaranteed and 90 days or more past due and still accruing were $277 million and $460 million in our commercial and consumer portfolios, respectively, at June 30, 2021, compared with $78 million and $612 million at December 31, 2020.
Our provision for credit losses for loans was $(1.2) billion and $(2.4) billion in the COVID-19 pandemic had on our customer base. Secondsecond quarter 2020 results reflected:and first half of 2021, respectively, compared with $9.6 billion and $13.4 billion for the same periods a year ago.
Nonaccrual loans were $7.6 billion at June 30, 2020, up from $5.3 billion at December 31, 2019, predominantly due to a $2.0 billion increase in commercial nonaccrual loans driven by increases in the commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios as the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact our customer base. Commercial nonaccrual loans increased to $4.3 billion at June 30, 2020, compared with $2.3 billion at December 31, 2019, and consumer nonaccrual loans increased to $3.3 billion at June 30, 2020, compared with $3.1 billion at December 31, 2019. Nonaccrual loans represented 0.81% of total loans at June 30, 2020, compared with 0.56% at December 31, 2019.
The ACL for loans decreased to $16.4 billion, or 1.92% of total loans, at June 30, 2021, compared with $19.7 billion, or 2.22%, at December 31, 2020.

Net loan charge-offs (annualized) as a percentage of our average commercial and consumer loan portfolios were 0.44% and 0.48% in the second quarter and 0.35% and 0.51% in the first half of 2020, respectively, compared with 0.13% and 0.45% in the second quarter and 0.12% and 0.48% in the first half of 2019.
Loans that are not government insured/guaranteed and 90 days or more past due and still accruing were $145 million and $672 million in our commercial and consumer portfolios, respectively, at June 30, 2020, compared with $78 million and $855 million at December 31, 2019.
Our provision for credit losses for loans was $9.6 billion and $13.4 billion in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, compared with $503 million and $1.3 billion for the same periods a year ago. The increase in provision for credit losses for loans in the second quarter and first half of 2020, compared with the same periods a year ago, reflected an increase in the allowance for credit losses for loans driven by current and forecasted economic conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and higher net loan charge-offs driven by higher losses in our commercial real estate portfolio and continued weakness in our oil and gas portfolio.
The allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $20.4 billion, or 2.19% of total loans, at June 30, 2020, up from $10.5 billion, or 1.09%, at December 31, 2019.

TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURING RELIEF
COVID-Related Lending Accommodations The CARES Act provides banks optional, temporary relief from accounting for certain loan modifications as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). The modifications must be relatedDuring 2020, we provided accommodations to customers in response to the adverse effectsCOVID-19 pandemic, including payment deferrals, and other expanded assistance for mortgage, credit card, auto, small business, personal and commercial lending customers. With the exception of residential mortgage-related accommodation programs, the COVID-related lending accommodations instituted during 2020 were no longer offered as of December 31, 2020. Residential mortgage accommodation programs, which continued during the first half of 2021, offered payment deferrals for up to a total of 18 months. Table 10 summarizes the unpaid principal balance (UPB) of consumer loans that received accommodations under loan modification programs established to assist customers with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (COVID-related modifications) and certain other criteria are required to be metthat remained in order to apply the relief. In first quarter 2020, we elected to apply the TDR relief provided bya deferral period as of June 30, 2021.
Based on guidance in the CARES Act which expires no later than December 31, 2020.
On April 7, 2020, federal banking regulators issuedand the IInteragencynteragency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for
Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised) issued by federal banking regulators in April 2020 (the Interagency Statement). The Interagency Statement provides additional TDR relief as it clarifies that it is not necessary, both of which we elected to consider the impact of COVID-19 on the financial condition of a borrower in connection with short-term (e.g., six months or less)apply, loan modifications related to COVID-19 and that meet certain other criteria are exempt from troubled debt restructuring (TDR) classification. Additionally, our election to apply the TDR relief provided by the borrower is current atCARES Act and the dateInteragency Statement impacts our regulatory capital ratios as these loan modifications
related to COVID-19 are not adjusted to a higher risk-weighting normally required with TDR classification. At June 30, 2021, substantially all residential mortgage loans that were in a deferral period, excluding those that were government insured/guaranteed, met the modification program is implemented.criteria for TDR relief and were therefore not classified as TDRs. For additional information regarding the TDR relief provided by the CARES Act and the clarifying TDR accounting guidance from the Interagency Statement, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in this Report.our 2020 Form 10-K.
The TDR relief provided under the CARES Act, as well as from the Interagency Statement, does not change our processes for monitoring the credit quality of our loan portfolios or for updating our measurement of the allowance for credit losses for loans based on expected losses.
Additionally, our election to apply the TDR relief provided by the CARES Act and the Interagency Statement impacts our regulatory capital ratios as these loan modifications related to COVID-19 are not adjusted to a higher risk-weighting normally required with TDR classification.

COVID-Related Lending Accommodations
During second quarter 2020, we continued to provide accommodations to our customers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including fee reversals for consumer and small business banking customers, and payment deferrals, fee waivers, covenant waivers, and other expanded assistance for mortgage, credit card, automobile, small business, personal and commercial lending customers. Foreclosure, collection and credit bureau reporting activities have also been suspended. Additionally, we deferred rental payments on certain leased assets for which we are the lessor. Customer payment deferral activities instituted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to delay the recognition of net charge-offs, delinquencies, and nonaccrual status for those customers who would have otherwise moved into past due or nonaccrual status.

If the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause economic uncertainty, customers may request additional or extended accommodations. During second quarter 2020, we provided certain extensions of prior modifications for up to an additional 90 days. As of June 30, 2020, the unpaid principal balance of commercial and consumer loans that received extensions of prior modifications was $9.7 billion and $876 million, respectively.
Of the loans that received COVID-related modifications, $38 billion and $50 billion of unpaid principal balance of commercial and consumer loans, respectively, were not classified as TDRs as of June 30, 2020, of which 5% for both commercial and consumer loans qualified for TDR designation relief under the CARES Act or Interagency Statement. Additionally, the tables

Significant Loan Portfolio Reviews Measuring and monitoring our credit risk is an ongoing process that tracks delinquencies, collateral values, Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) scores, economic trends by geographic areas, loan-level risk grading for certain portfolios (typically commercial) and other indications of credit risk. Our credit risk monitoring process is designed to enable early identification of developing risk and to support our determination of an appropriate allowance for credit losses. The following discussion provides additional characteristics and analysis of our significant loan portfolios. See Note 64 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report for more analysis and credit metric information for each of the following portfolios.

COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL LOANS AND LEASE FINANCING For purposes of portfolio risk management, we aggregate commercial and industrial loans and lease financing according to market segmentation and standard industry codes. We
generally subject commercial and industrial loans and lease financing to individual risk assessment using our internal borrower and collateral quality ratings. Our ratings are aligned to federal banking regulators’regulatory definitions of pass and criticized categories with the criticized category includingsegmented among special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss categories.
The commercial and industrial loans and lease financing portfolio totaled $367.5 billion, or 39% of total loans, at June 30, 2020. The net charge-off rate (annualized) of average loans for this portfolio was 0.54% and 0.45% in the second quarter and first

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE (CRE) We generally subject CRE loans to individual risk assessment using our internal borrower and collateral quality ratings. Our ratings are aligned to federal banking regulators'regulatory definitions of pass and criticized categories with criticized segmented among special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss categories. We had $15.6 billion of CRE mortgage loans classified as criticized at June 30, 2021, compared with $12.0 billion at December 31, 2020, and $2.6 billion of CRE construction loans classified as criticized at June 30, 2021,
32Wells Fargo & Company


compared with $1.6 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase in criticized CRE mortgage and construction loans was driven by the hotel/motel, apartment, institutional, and office property types and reflected the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to uncertainty in the recovery from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the credit quality of certain property types within our CRE loan portfolio, such as retail, hotel/motel, office buildings, and shopping centers, could continue to be adversely affected.
The total CRE loan portfolio decreased $441 million from December 31, 2020, driven by a decrease in CRE mortgage loans predominantly related to the office, retail (excluding shopping
center), and shopping center property types, partially offset by an increase in loans related to apartments. The CRE loan portfolio which included $8.2$8.4 billion of non-U.S. CRE loans totaled $145.7 billion, or 16% of total loans, at June 30, 2020, and consisted of $124.0 billion of mortgage loans and $21.7 billion of construction loans.
Table 13 summarizes CRE loans by state and property type with the related nonaccrual totals at June 30, 2020.2021. The portfolio is diversified both geographically and by property type. The largest geographic concentrations of CRE loans are in California, New York, Florida and Texas, which combined represented 49%48% of the total CRE portfolio. ByThe largest property type the largest
concentrations are office buildings at 26%25% and apartments at 19%20% of the portfolio.
Table 12 summarizes CRE loans by state and property type with the related nonaccrual loans totaled 0.86% of the CRE outstanding balancetotals at June 30, 2020, compared with 0.43% at December 31, 2019. The increase in CRE nonaccrual loans was driven by the hotel/motel, shopping center, and office buildings property types and reflected the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. At June 30, 2020, we had $9.1 billion of criticized CRE mortgage loans, compared with $3.8 billion at December 31, 2019, and $1.3 billion of criticized CRE construction loans, compared with $187 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in criticized CRE mortgage and CRE construction loans was driven by the hotel/motel, shopping center, retail (excluding shopping center), and office building property types and reflected the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.2021.

Risk Management - Credit Risk Management (continued)


NON-U.SNON-U.S. LOANS Our classification of non-U.S. loans is based on whether the borrower’s primary address is outside of the United States. At June 30, 2020,2021, non-U.S. loans totaled $76.6$80.8 billion,, representing approximately 9% of our total consolidated loans outstanding, compared with $72.9 billion, or approximately 8% of our total consolidated loans outstanding, compared with $80.5 billion, or approximately 8% of total consolidated loans outstanding, at December 31, 2019.2020. Non-U.S. loans were approximately 4% of our total consolidated total assets at both June 30, 2020,2021, and December 31, 2019.2020.

COUNTRY RISK EXPOSURE Our country risk monitoring process incorporates centralized monitoring of economic, political, social, legal, and transfer risks in countries where we do or plan to do business, along with frequent dialogue with our customers, counterparties and regulatory agencies. We establish exposure limits for each country through a centralized oversight process based on customer needs, and through consideration of the relevant and distinct risk of each country. We monitor exposures closely and adjust our country limits in response to changing conditions.
We evaluate our individual country risk exposure based on our assessment of the borrower’s ability to repay, which gives consideration for allowable transfers of risk, such as guarantees and collateral, and may be different from the reporting based on the borrower’s primary address.
Our largest single country exposure outside the U.S. based on our assessment of risk at June 30, 2020,2021, was the United Kingdom, which totaled $36.3$34.4 billion, or approximately 2% of our total assets, and included $11.6$7.7 billion of sovereign claims. Our United Kingdom sovereign claims arise predominantly from deposits we have placed with the Bank of England pursuant to regulatory requirements in support of our London branch.
The United Kingdom withdrew from the European Union (Brexit) on January 31, 2020, and is currently subject to a
transition period during which the terms and conditions of its exit are being negotiated. As the United Kingdom exits from the European Union, our primary goal is to continue to serve our existing clients in the United Kingdom and the European Union as well as to continue to meet the needs of our domestic clients as they do business in those locations. We have an existing authorized bank in Ireland and an asset management entity in Luxembourg. Additionally, we established a broker dealer in France. We are in the process of leveraging these entities to continue to serve clients in the European Union and continue to take actions to update our business operations in the United Kingdom and European Union, including implementing new supplier contracts and staffing arrangements. For additional information on risks associated with Brexit, see the “Risk Factors” section in our 2019 Form 10-K.
Table 1413 provides information regarding our top 20 exposures by country (excluding the U.S.), based on our assessment of risk, which gives consideration to the country of any guarantors and/or underlying collateral. With respect to Table 13:
Table 14:
Lending and deposits exposure includes outstanding loans, unfunded credit commitments, and deposits with non-U.S. banks. These balances are presented prior to the deduction of allowance for credit losses or collateral received under the terms of the credit agreements, if any.
Securities exposure represents debt and equity securities of non-U.S. issuers. Long and short positions are netted, and net short positions are reflected as negative exposure.
Derivatives and other exposure represents foreign exchange contracts, derivative contracts, securities resale agreements, and securities lending agreements.

Residential Mortgage – First Lien Mortgage Portfolio Our total real estate 1-4 familyresidential mortgage – first lien portfolio decreased $32.3 billion from December 31, 2020, driven by loan paydowns as a result of the low interest rate environment and the transfer of $10.8 billion of first lien mortgage portfolio (first mortgage) decreased $15.0 billion and $15.9 billionloans to loans held for sale (LHFS) substantially all of which related to the sales of loans purchased
from GNMA loan securitization pools in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively. Mortgage loanprior periods, partially offset by originations of $16.4 billion and $30.7 billion in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, were more than offset by paydowns. In addition, in second quarter 2020 we designated $10.4 billion of first mortgage loans as MLHFS.
Net loan charge-offs (annualized) as a percentage of average first mortgage loans were 0.00% in both the second quarter and first half of 2020, compared with a net recovery of 0.04% and
0.03% for the same periods a year ago. Nonaccrual loans were $2.4 billion at June 30, 2020, up $243 million from December 31, 2019. The increase in nonaccrual loans from December 31, 2019 was driven by the implementation of CECL, which required PCI loans to be classified as nonaccruing based on performance. For additional information, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Nonperforming Assets (Nonaccrual Loans and Foreclosed Assets)” section in this Report.$30.8 billion.

Residential Mortgage – Junior Lien Mortgage PortfolioThe residential mortgage – junior lien mortgage portfolio consists of residential mortgage lines and loans that are subordinate in rights to an existing lien on the same property. It is not unusual for these lines and loans to have draw periods, interest-only payments, balloon payments, adjustable rates and similar features. Junior lien loan products are mostlyprimarily amortizing payment loans with fixed interest rates and repayment periods between five to 30 years.
We continuously monitor the credit performance of our residential mortgage –
junior lien mortgage portfolio for trends and factors that influence the frequency and severity of loss,losses, such as residential mortgage – junior lien mortgage performance when the residential mortgage – first mortgagelien loan is delinquent.
The decrease in the residential mortgage – junior lien portfolio at June 30, 2021, compared with December 31, 2020, reflected loan paydowns.

During the draw period, the borrower has the option of converting all or a portion of the line from a variable interest rate to a fixed rate with terms including interest-only payments for a fixed period between three to seven years or a fully amortizing payment with a fixed period between five to 30 years. At the end of the draw period, a line of credit generally converts to an amortizing payment schedule with repayment terms of up to 30 years based on the balance at time of conversion. Certain lines and loans have been structured with a balloon payment, which requires full repayment of the outstanding balance at the end of the term period. The conversion of lines or loans to fully amortizing or balloon payoff may result in a significant payment
increase, which can affect some borrowers’ ability to repay the outstanding balance.
On a monthly basis, we monitor the payment characteristics of borrowers in our first and junior lien lines of credit portfolios. In June 2020, excluding borrowers with COVID-19 related loan modification payment deferrals, approximately 44% of borrowers paid only the minimum amount due and approximately 52% paid more than the minimum amount due. The rest were either
delinquent or paid less than the minimum amount due. For the borrowers with an interest-only payment feature, approximately 28% paid only the minimum amount due and approximately 68% paid more than the minimum amount due.
The lines that enter their amortization period may experience higher delinquencies and higher loss rates than the ones in their draw or term period. We have considered this increased inherent risk in our allowanceACL for credit lossloans estimate.
In anticipation of our borrowers reaching the end of their contractual commitment, we have created a program to inform, educate and help these borrowers transition from interest-only to fully-amortizing payments or full repayment. We monitor the performance of the borrowers moving through the program in an effort to refine our ongoing program strategy.
Table 1917 reflects the outstanding balance of our portfolio of residential mortgage – junior lien mortgages,liens, including lines and loans, and residential mortgage – first lien lines segregated into scheduled end-of-drawend of draw or end-of-term periods and products that are currently amortizing, or in balloon repayment status. The unfunded credit commitments for residential mortgage – junior and first lien lines totaled $49.8 billion at June 30, 2021.

CREDIT CARDS  Our credit card portfolio totaled $36.0 billion at June 30, 2020, which represented 4% of our total outstanding loans. The net charge-off rate (annualized) for our credit card portfolio was 3.60% for second quarter 2020, compared with 3.68% for second quarter 2019, and 3.71% for the first half of both 2020 and 2019. The decrease in the net charge-off rate in second quarter 2020, compared with the same period a year ago, was driven by payment deferral activities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
AUTOMOBILEOur automobile portfolio totaled $48.8 billion at June 30, 2020. The net charge-off rate (annualized) for our automobile portfolio was 0.88% for second quarter 2020, compared with 0.46% for second quarter 2019, and 0.78% and 0.64% for the first half of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in the net charge-off rate in the second quarter and first half of 2020, compared with the same periods in 2019, was driven by lower recoveries due to the temporary suspension of involuntary repossessions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
OTHER REVOLVING CREDIT AND INSTALLMENTOther revolving credit and installment loans totaled $32.4 billion at June 30, 2020, and largely included student and securities-based loans. Our private student loan portfolio totaled $10.3 billion at June 30, 2020. On July 1, 2020, we announced that only customers with an outstanding private student loan balance will be eligible for new loans for the upcoming academic year. The net charge-off rate (annualized) for other revolving credit and installment loans was 1.09% for second quarter 2020, compared with 1.56% for second quarter 2019, and 1.35% and 1.52% for the first half of 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in the net charge-off rate in the second quarter and first half of 2020, compared with the same periods a year ago, was driven by payment deferral activities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS (NONACCRUAL LOANS AND FORECLOSED ASSETS)Table 20 summarizes nonperforming assets (NPAs) for each of the last four quarters. Total NPAs increased $1.4 billion from first quarter 2020 to $7.8 billion. Nonaccrual loans of $7.6 billion increased $1.4 billion from first quarter 2020. The increase in nonaccrual loans was driven by an increase in commercial nonaccrual loans predominantly due to an increase in oil and gas and real estate mortgage nonaccrual loans as the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact our customer base. Customer payment deferral activities instituted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic maycould continue to delay the recognition of delinquencies for customers who otherwise would have moved into nonaccrual status.

(1)In connection with our adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, we classified $275 million of PCD loans as nonaccruing based on performance.
Typically, changes to nonaccrual loans period-over-period represent inflows for loans that are placed on nonaccrual status in accordance with our policy,policies, offset by reductions for loans that are paid down, charged off, sold, foreclosed, or are no longer
classified as nonaccrual as a result of continued performance and an improvement in the borrower’s financial condition and loan repayment capabilities.

We believe exposure to loss on nonaccrual loans is significantly mitigated by the following factors at June 30, 2020:2021:
96% of total commercial nonaccrual loans and 99% of total consumer nonaccrual loans are secured. Of the consumer nonaccrual loans, 93% are secured by real estate and 93% have a combined LTV (CLTV) ratio of 80% or less.
71% of commercial nonaccrual loans were current on interest and 66% of commercial nonaccrual loans were current on both principal and interest, but were on nonaccrual status because the full or timely collection of interest or principal had become uncertain.
of the $1.0 billion of consumer loans in bankruptcy or discharged in bankruptcy, and classified as nonaccrual, $691 million were current.
90% of total commercial nonaccrual loans and 99% of total consumer nonaccrual loans are secured. Of the consumer nonaccrual loans, 95% are secured by real estate and 89% have a combined LTV (CLTV) ratio of 80% or less.
losses of $708 million and $990 million have already been recognized on 16% of commercial nonaccrual loans and 34% of consumer nonaccrual loans, respectively, in accordance with our charge-off policies. Once we write down loans to the net realizable value (fair value of collateral less estimated costs to sell), we re-evaluate each loan regularly and record additional write-downs if needed.

80% of commercial nonaccrual loans were current on interest and 75% of commercial nonaccrual loans were current on both principal and interest, but were on nonaccrual status because the full or timely collection of interest or principal had become uncertain.
of the $1.3 billion of consumer loans in bankruptcy or discharged in bankruptcy, and classified as nonaccrual, $866 million were current.
the remaining risk of loss of all nonaccrual loans has been considered and we believe is adequately covered by thein developing our allowance for loan losses.

We continue to work with our customers experiencing financial difficulty to determine if they can qualify for a loan modification so that they can stay in their homes.modification. Under our proprietary modification programs, customers may be required to provide updated documentation, and some programs require completion of payment during trial periods to demonstrate sustained performance before the loan can be removed from nonaccrual status.

Table 2322 provides information regarding the recorded investment of loans modified in TDRs. TDRs decreased from December 31, 2020, due to paydowns and a $436 million transfer from residential mortgage – first lien loans to LHFS related to the sales of loans purchased from GNMA loan securitization pools in 2020. The allowance for loan losses foramount of our TDRs was $607 million and $1.0 billion at June 30, 2020,2021, would have otherwise been higher without the TDR relief provided by the CARES Act and December 31, 2019, respectively. See Note 6 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report for additional information regarding TDRs. Interagency Statement.

In those situations where principal is forgiven, the entire amount of such forgiveness is immediately charged off. When we delay the timing on the repayment of a portion of principal (principal forbearance), we charge off the amount of forbearance if that amount is not considered fully collectible. The allowance for loan losses for TDRs was $360 million and $565 million at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. As part of our actions to support customers during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have provided borrowers relief in the form of loan modifications. Under the CARES Act and the Interagency Statement, loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic will not be classified as TDRs if they meet certain eligibility criteria. For moreadditional information on the CARES Act
and the Interagency Statement, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Credit Quality Overview – Troubled Debt Restructuring Relief”COVID-Related Lending Accommodations” section in this Report.
For more information on our nonaccrual policies when a restructuring is involved, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs)” section in our 20192020 Form 10-K.
Table 2423 provides an analysis of the changes in TDRs. Loans modified more than once as a TDR are reported as TDR inflows only in the period they are first modified. Other than resolutions such asIn addition to foreclosures, sales and transfers to held for sale, we may remove loans held for investment from TDR classification, but only if they have been refinanced or restructured at market terms and qualify as a new loans.loan.

LOANS 90 DAYS OR MORE PAST DUE AND STILL ACCRUING Loans 90 days or more past due are still accruing if they are (1) well-secured and in the process of collection or (2) real estate 1-4 familyresidential mortgage loans or consumer loans exempt under regulatory rules from being classified as nonaccrual until later delinquency, usually 120 days past due. Prior to January 1, 2020, PCI loans were excluded from loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing because they continued to earn interest income from accretable yield, independent of performance in accordance with their contractual terms. In connection with our adoption of CECL, PCI loans were reclassified as PCD loans and classified as accruing or nonaccruing based on performance.
Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing, excluding insured/guaranteed loans, at June 30, 2020, were down $116 million, or 12%, from December 31, 2019 due to payoffs and lower delinquencies in consumer loans as payment deferral activities instituted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic
delayed recognition of delinquencies for customers who would have otherwise moved into past due status, partially offset by an increase in commercial loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing driven by credit deterioration due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing whose repayments are predominantly insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA for mortgages were $8.9 billion at June 30, 2020, up from $6.4 billion at December 31, 2019, due to the economic slowdown related to the COVID-19 pandemic affecting our customers.
Table 2524 reflects loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing by class for loans not government insured/guaranteed. For additional information on delinquencies by loan class, see Note 64 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing, excluding government insured/guaranteed loans, at June 30, 2021, were up from December 31, 2020, due to an increase in delinquent commercial real estate mortgage loans and commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by a decline in delinquent consumer loans in line with the decrease in our total consumer loan portfolio. Customer payment deferral activities instituted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to delay the recognition of delinquencies for customers who would have otherwise moved into past due status.
Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing whose repayments are largely insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA for mortgages at June 30, 2021, were down from December 31, 2020, largely due to transfers to LHFS related to the sales of loans purchased from GNMA loan securitization pools in prior periods.

The COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact the credit quality of our loan portfolio. Although the potential impacts were considered in our allowance for credit losses for loans, payment deferral activities instituted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to delay the recognition of net loan charge-offs. For moreadditional information on customer accommodations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – COVID-Related Lending Accommodations” section in this Report.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES We maintain an allowance for credit losses (ACL) for loans, which is management’s estimate of the expected life-time credit losses in the loan portfolio and unfunded credit commitments, at the balance sheet date, excluding loans and unfunded credit commitments carried at fair value or held for sale. Additionally, we maintain an allowance for credit lossesACL for debt securities classified as either available-for-saleAFS or held-to-maturity,HTM, other financial assets measured at amortized cost, net investments in leases, and other off-balance sheet credit exposures.
We apply a disciplined process and methodology to establish our allowance for credit lossesACL each quarter. The process for establishing the allowance for credit lossesACL for loans takes into consideration many factors, including historical and forecasted loss trends, loan-level credit quality ratings and loan grade-specific characteristics. The process involves subjective and complex judgments. In addition, we review a variety of credit metrics and trends. These credit metrics and trends, however, do not solely determine the amount of the allowance as we use several analytical tools. For additional information on our allowance for credit losses,ACL, see the “Critical Accounting Policies – Allowance for Credit Losses” section and Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in this Report.our 2020 Form 10-K. For additional information on our allowance for credit lossesACL for loans, see Note 64 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses) to Financial Statements in this Report, and for additional information on our allowance for credit lossesACL for debt securities, see the “Balance Sheet Analysis – Available-For-Sale and Held-To-Maturity Debt Securities” section and Note 53 (Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities) to Financial Statements in this Report.

The ratios for the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for credit lossesACL for loans presented in Table 2726 may fluctuate from period to period due to such factors as the mix of loan types in the portfolio, borrower credit strength, and the value and marketability of collateral.
The allowance for credit lossesACL for loans increased $10.0decreased $3.3 billion, or 95%17%, from December 31, 2019, driven by a $11.4 billion increase2020, reflecting better portfolio credit quality and improvements in the allowance for credit losses for loans in the first half of 2020, partially offset by a $1.3 billion decrease as a result of adopting CECL. The increase in the allowance for credit losses for loans reflected current and forecasted economic conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.conditions. Total provision for credit losses for loans was $9.6$(1.2) billion in second quarter 2020,2021, compared with $503 million$9.6 billion in second quarter 2019. The increase in the provision for credit losses for loans in second quarter 2020, compared with the same period a year ago, reflected an increasereflecting lower net charge-offs and improvements in current and forecasted economic conditions. The detail of the changes in the allowance for credit lossesACL for loans dueby portfolio segment (including charge-offs and recoveries by loan class) is included in Note 4 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses) to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.Financial Statements in this Report.
We consider multiple economic scenarios to develop our estimate of the allowance for credit lossesACL for loans. The scenarios generally include a base case considered to be the most likely economic forecast,scenario, along with an optimistic (upside) and a
one or more pessimistic (downside) economic forecast.scenarios. Our estimate of the allowance for credit lossesACL for loans at June 30, 2020,2021, was based on a weighting of the base case and a downside economic scenariosscenario of 80%50% and 20%50%, respectively, with no weighting applied to thean upside scenario. The base casescenario assumed economic forecast assumed near-term economic stress recovering into late 2021.improvements in the near term with a return to normalized levels near the end of 2022. The downside scenario assumed more sustained adverse economic impacts resulting from the

The downside scenario assumed U.S. real GDP increasing slowlygrowth rates decline in the first half of 2022 before returning to normalized levels after 2023 and not fully recovering during the remainder of 2020 and 2021, and a sustained elevation in the U.S. unemployment rate until mid-2022.increases through 2022 and peaks in the first half of 2023. We considered expectations for the impact of government economic stimulus programs in effect on June 30, 2020; however, we did not consider the impact of future government economic stimulus programs. In addition, we consideredwithin each scenario our expectations for the impact of customer accommodation activity, as well as the estimated impact on certain industries that we consider to be directly and most adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition to quantitative estimates, we consider qualitative factors that represent risks inherent in our processes and assumptions such as economic environmental factors, modeling

At June 30, 2020,We also considered the qualitative portionsignificant uncertainty related to the duration and severity of our allowance for credit losses for loans included adjustments for model performance relative to management's loss expectations, including specificthe economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic and the incremental risks from the oil and gas, commercial real estate, and home lending portfolios due to the continued economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.our loan portfolio.

Future amounts of the allowance for credit lossesACL for loans will be based on a variety of factors, including loan balance changes, portfolio credit quality and mix changes, and changes in general economic conditions and expectations (including for unemployment and GDP), among other factors. Based onWe observed economic conditions atimprovements in the endfirst half of second quarter 2020, it was difficult2021; however, there remained significant uncertainty related to estimate the length and severity of the economic downturn that may result fromimpact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of other factors that may influence the level of eventual losses and corresponding requirements for future amounts of the allowance for credit losses,ACL, including the impact of economic stimulus programs and customer accommodation activity. The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to result inimpact the recognition of credit losses in our loan portfolios and may result in increases in our allowance for credit losses,ACL, particularly if the impact on the economy worsens.
We believe the allowance for credit lossesACL for loans of $20.4$16.4 billion at June 30, 2020,2021, was appropriate to cover expected credit losses, including unfunded credit commitments, at that date. The entire allowance is available to absorb expected credit losses from the total loan portfolio. The allowance for credit lossesACL for loans is subject to change and reflects existing factors as of the date of determination, including economic or market conditions and ongoing internal and external examination processes. Due to the sensitivity of the allowance for credit lossesACL for loans to changes in the economic and business environment, it is possible that we will incur incremental credit losses not anticipated as of the balance sheet date. Our process for determining the ACL is discussed in the “Critical Accounting Policies – Allowance for Credit Losses” section and Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our 2020 Form 10-K.

LIABILITY FOR MORTGAGE LOAN REPURCHASE LOSSESFor information on our repurchase liability, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Liability For Mortgage Loan Repurchase Losses” section in our 20192020 Form 10-K.

RISKS RELATING TO SERVICING ACTIVITIES  In addition to servicing loans in our portfolio, we act as servicer and/or master servicer of residential mortgage loans included in GSE-guaranteed mortgage securitizations, GNMA-guaranteed mortgage securitizations of FHA-insured/VA-guaranteed mortgages and private label
private label mortgage securitizations, as well as for unsecuritized loans owned by institutional investors. In connection with our servicing activities, we could become subject to consent orders and settlement agreements with federal and state regulators for alleged servicing issues and practices. In general, these can require us to provide customers with loan modification relief, refinancing relief, and foreclosure prevention and assistance, as well as can impose certain monetary penalties on us.
As a servicer, we are required to advance certain delinquent payments of principal and interest on the mortgage loans we service. The amount and timing of reimbursement of these advances of delinquent payments vary by investor and the applicable servicing agreements in place.agreements. Due to an increase in customer requests for payment deferrals provided as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the amount of our servicing advances of principal and interest advances we were required to make as a servicer increased in second quarter 2020.remained elevated. The amount of these advances may continue to increase if additional payment deferrals are provided. Payment deferrals also delay the collection of contractually specified servicing fees, resulting in lower net servicing income.
In accordance with applicable servicing guidelines, delinquency status continues to advance for loans with COVID-related payment deferrals, which has resulted in an increase in delinquent loans serviced for others and a corresponding increase in loans eligible for repurchase from GNMA loan securitization pools. OurUpon transfer as servicer, we retain the option to repurchase loans from GNMA loan securitization pools, which becomes exercisable when three scheduled loan payments remain unpaid by the borrower. We generally repurchase these loans for cash and as a result, our total consolidated assets do not change. In July 2020, we repurchased $14.1 billionAs a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our repurchases of these delinquent loans and we expectwere elevated in 2020 but returned to repurchase $5.6 billionmore normalized levels in the first half of these delinquent2021.
Repurchased loans in August 2020.
Loans that regain current status or are otherwise modified in accordance with applicable servicing guidelines may be included in future GNMA loan securitization pools. However, in accordance with guidance issued by GNMA, incertain loans repurchased after June 30, 2020, repurchased loans with COVID-related payment deferrals are ineligible for inclusion in future GNMA loan securitization pools until the borrower has timely made six consecutive payments. This requirement may delay our ability to resell loans into the securitization market.
For additional information about the risks related to our servicing activities, see the “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management – Risks Relating to Servicing Activities” section in our 20192020 Form 10-K. For additional information on mortgage banking activities, see Note 119 (Mortgage Banking Activities) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Asset/Liability Management
Asset/liability management involves evaluating, monitoring and managing interest rate risk, market risk, liquidity and funding. PrimaryFor information on our oversight of interest rate risk and market risk resides withasset/liability risks, see the Finance Committee of“Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management” section in our Board, which oversees the administration and effectiveness of financial risk management policies and processes used to assess and manage these risks. Primary oversight of liquidity and funding resides with the Risk Committee of the Board. At the management level we utilize a Corporate Asset/Liability Committee (Corporate ALCO), which consists of management from finance, risk and business groups, to oversee these risks and provide periodic reports to the Board’s Finance Committee and Risk Committee as appropriate. As discussed in more detail for market risk activities below, we employ separate management level oversight specific to market risk.2020 Form 10-K.
 

INTEREST RATE RISK Interest rate risk which potentiallyis created in our role as a financial intermediary for customers based on investments such as loans and other extensions of credit and debt securities. Interest rate risk can have a significant earnings impact is an integral part of being a financial intermediary.to our earnings. We are subject to interest rate risk because:
assets and liabilities may mature or reprice at different times (for example, iftimes. If assets reprice faster than liabilities and interest rates are generally rising, earnings will initially increase);increase;
assets and liabilities may reprice at the same time but by different amounts (for example, when the general level of interest rates is rising, we may increase rates paid on checking and savings deposit accounts by an amount that is less than the general rise in market interest rates);amounts;

interest rates may also have a direct or indirect effect on loan demand, collateral values, credit losses, mortgage origination volume, and the fair value of MSRs and other financial instruments, the value of the pension liability and other items affecting earnings.

instruments.
We assess interest rate risk by comparing outcomes under various net interest income simulations using many interest rate scenarios that differ in the direction of interest rate changes, the degree of change over time, the speed of change and the projected shape of the yield curve. These simulations require assumptions regarding drivers of earnings and balance sheet composition such as loan originations, prepayment speeds on loans and debt securities, deposit flows and mix, as well as pricing strategies.
Currently, our profile is such that we projectOur most recent simulations, as presented in Table 28, estimate net interest income willsensitivity over the next 12 months using instantaneous movements across the yield curve with both lower and higher interest rates relative to our base scenario. Steeper and flatter scenarios measure non-parallel changes in the yield curve, with long-term interest rates defined as all tenors three years and longer (e.g., 10-year U.S. Treasury securities) and short-term interest rates defined as all tenors less than three years. Where applicable, U.S. dollar interest rates are floored at 0.00%. The following describes the simulation assumptions for the scenarios presented in Table 28:
Simulations are dynamic and reflect anticipated changes to our assets and liabilities.
Other macroeconomic variables that could be correlated with the changes in interest rates are held constant.
Mortgage prepayment and origination assumptions vary across scenarios and reflect only the impact of the higher or lower interest rates.
Our base scenario deposit forecast incorporates mix changes consistent with the base interest rate trajectory. Deposit mix is modeled to be the same as in the base scenario across the alternative scenarios. In higher interest rate scenarios, customer activity that shifts balances into higher-yielding products could reduce expected net interest income.
We hold the size of the projected debt and equity securities portfolios constant across scenarios.

Flatter yield curve:

-50 bps shift in long-term interest rates(1.2)(1.4)
The interest rate sensitivity included in Table 28 indicates that we would expect to benefit from higher interest rates as our assets would reprice faster and to a greater degree than our liabilities, while in the case of lower interest rates, our assets would reprice downward and to a greater degree than our liabilities.
Our most recent simulations estimateliabilities resulting in lower net interest income sensitivity over the next two years under a range of both lower and higher interest rates. Measured impacts from standardized ramps (gradual changes) and shocks (instantaneous changes) are summarized in Table 29, indicating net interest income sensitivity relative to the Company’s base net interest income plan. Ramp scenarios assume interest rates move gradually in parallel across the yield curve relative to the base scenario in year one, and the full amount of the ramp is held as a constant differential to the base scenario in year two. The following describes the simulation assumptions for the scenarios presented in Table 29:
Simulations are dynamic and reflect anticipated growth across assets and liabilities.
Other macroeconomic variables that could be correlated with the changes in interest rates are held constant.
Mortgage prepayment and origination assumptions vary across scenarios and reflect only the impact of the higher or lower interest rates.

The sensitivity results above do not capture interest rate sensitive noninterest income andor expense impacts. Our interest rate sensitive noninterest income and expense are predominantly driven by mortgage banking activities, and may move in the opposite direction of our net interest income. Mortgage originations generally decline in response to higher interest rates and generally increase, particularly refinancing activity, in response to lower interest rates. Mortgage results are also impacted by the valuation of MSRs and related hedge positions. See the “Risk Management
– Asset/Liability Management – Mortgage Banking Interest Rate and Market Risk” section in this Reportour 2020 Form 10-K for moreadditional information.
Interest rate sensitive noninterest income also results from changes in earnings credit for noninterest-bearing deposits that reduce treasury management deposit service fees.

to economically hedge our mortgage origination pipeline, funded mortgage loans and MSRs using interest rate swaps, swaptions, futures, forwards and options.
MORTGAGE BANKING INTEREST RATE AND MARKET RISK We originate, fund and service mortgage loans, which subjects us to various risks, including credit, liquidity and interest rate risks. For moreadditional information on mortgage banking interest rate and market risk, see Note 9 (Mortgage Banking Activities) to Financial Statements in this Report and the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Mortgage Banking Interest Rate and Market Risk” section in our 20192020 Form 10-K.
Hedging the various sources of interest rate risk in mortgage banking is a complex process that requires sophisticated modeling and constant monitoring. There are several potential risks to earnings from mortgage banking related to origination volumes and mix, valuation of MSRs and associated hedging results, the relationship and degree of volatility between short-term and long-term interest rates, and changes in servicing and foreclosures costs. While our hedging activities are designedwe attempt to balance our mortgage banking interest rate and market risks, the financial instruments we use may not perfectly correlate with the values and income being hedged. For example, the change in the value of ARM production held for sale from changes in mortgage interest rates may or may not be fully offset by index-based financial instruments used as economic hedges for such ARMs. Hedge results may also be impacted as the overall level of hedges changes as interest rates change, or as there are other changes in the market for mortgage forwards that may affect the implied carry on the MSRs.
The total carrying value of our residential and commercial MSRs was $8.2 billion at June 30, 2020, and $12.9 billion at December 31, 2019. The weighted-average note rate on our portfolio of loans serviced for others was 4.13% at June 30, 2020, and 4.25% at December 31, 2019. The carrying value of our total MSRs represented 0.52% and 0.79% of mortgage loans serviced for others at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
MARKET RISKMarket risk is the risk of possible economic loss from adverse changes in market risk factors such as interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, equity and commodity prices, and the risk of possible loss due to counterparty exposure. This applies to implied volatility risk, basis risk, and market liquidity risk. It also includes price risk in the trading book, mortgage servicing rights and the hedge effectiveness risk associated with the mortgage book, and impairment on private equity investments.
The Board’s Finance Committee has primary For information on our oversight responsibility forof market risk, and overseessee the Company’s market risk exposure and market risk management strategies. In addition, the Board’s Risk Committee has certain oversight responsibilities with respect to market risk, including adjusting the Company’s market risk appetite with input from the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee also reports key market risk matters to the Risk Committee.“Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Market Risk” section in our 2020 Form 10-K.
At the management level, the Market and Counterparty Risk Management function, which is part of IRM, has primary oversight responsibility for market risk. The Market and Counterparty Risk Management function reports into the CRO and also provides periodic reports related to market risk to the Board’s Finance Committee.

MARKET RISK – TRADING ACTIVITIESWe engage in trading activities to accommodate the investment and risk management activities of our customers and to execute economic hedging to manage certain balance sheet risks. These trading activities predominantly occur within our Wholesale BankingCIB businesses and to a lesser extent other divisionsbusinesses of the Company. Debt securities held for trading, equity securities held for trading, trading loans and trading derivatives are financial instruments used in our trading activities, and all are carried at fair value. Income earned on the financial instruments used in our trading activities include net interest income, changes in fair value and realized gains and losses. Net interest income earned from our trading activities is reflected in the interest income and interest expense components of our income statement.consolidated statement of income. Changes in fair value of the financial instruments used in our trading activities are reflected in net gains onfrom trading activities, a component of noninterest income in our income statement.activities. For moreadditional information on the financial instruments used in our trading activities and the income from these trading activities, see Note 42 (Trading Activities) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Value-at-risk (VaR) is a statistical risk measure used to estimate the potential loss from adverse moves in the financial markets. The Company uses VaR metrics complemented with sensitivity analysis and stress testing in measuring and monitoring market risk. For moreadditional information including information regardingon our monitoring activities, sensitivity analysis and stress testing, see the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Market Risk – Trading Activities” section in our 20192020 Form 10-K.
Trading VaR is the measure used to provide insight into the market risk exhibited by the Company’s trading positions. The
Company calculates Trading VaR for risk management purposes to establish line of business and Company-wide risk limits. Trading VaR is calculated based on all trading positions on our consolidated balance sheet.
Table 3029 shows the Company’s Trading General VaR by risk category. As presentedThe decrease in Table 30, average Company Trading General VaR was $155 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020,2021, compared with $33 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and $20 millionsame period a year ago, was driven by a greater presence of market volatility dropping out of the 12-month historical lookback window used to calculate average Company Trading General VaR for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

MARKET RISK – EQUITY SECURITIESWe are directly and indirectly affected by changes in the equity markets. We make and manage direct investments in start-up businesses, emerging growth companies, management buy-outs, acquisitions and corporate recapitalizations. We also invest in non-affiliated funds that make similar private equity investments. These private equity investments are made within capital allocations approved by management and the Board. The Board’s policy is to review business developments, key risks and historical returns for the private equity investment portfolio at least annually. Management reviews these investments at least quarterly and assesses them for possible other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) and observable price changes. For nonmarketable equity securities, the analysis is based on facts and circumstances of each individual investment and the expectations for that investment’s cash flows, capital needs, the viability of its business model, our exit strategy, and observable price changes that are similar to the investments held. Investments in nonmarketable equity securities include private equity investments accounted for under the equity method, fair value through net income, and the measurement alternative.
In conjunction with the March 2008 initial public offering (IPO) of Visa, Inc. (Visa), we received approximately 20.7 million shares of Visa Class B common stock, the class which was apportioned to member banks of Visa at the time of the IPO. To manage our exposure to Visa and realize the value of the appreciated Visa shares, we incrementally sold these shares through a series of sales, thereby eliminating this position as of September 30, 2015. As part of these sales, we agreed to compensate the buyer for any additional contributions to a litigation settlement fund for the litigation matters associated with the Class B shares we sold. Our exposure to this retained litigation risk has been updated quarterly and is reflected on our balance sheet. For additional information, about the associated litigation matters, see the “Interchange Litigation”“Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – Market Risk – Equity Securities” section in Note 14 (Legal Actions) to Financial Statements in this Report.our 2020 Form 10-K.
As part of our business to support our customers, we trade public equities, listed/OTC equity derivatives and convertible bonds. We have parameters that govern these activities. We also have marketable equity securities that include investments relating to our venture capital activities. We manage these marketable equity securities within capital risk limits approved by management and the Board and monitored by Corporate ALCO and the Market Risk Committee. The fair value changes in these marketable equity securities are recognized in net income. For
more additional information, see Note 86 (Equity Securities) to Financial Statements in this Report.
Changes in equity market prices may also indirectly affect our net income by (1) the value of third partythird-party assets under management and, hence, fee income, (2) borrowers whose ability to repay principal and/or interest may be affected by the stock market, or (3) brokerage activity, related commission income and other business activities. Each business line monitors and manages these indirect risks.
LIQUIDITY RISK AND FUNDING In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual obligations that may require future cash payments, including funding for customer loan requests, customer deposit maturities and withdrawals, debt service, leases for premises and equipment, and other cash commitments. The objective of effective liquidity management is to ensure that we can meet customer loan requests, customer deposit maturities/withdrawalsour contractual obligations and other cash commitments efficiently under both normal operating conditions and under periods of Wells Fargo-specific and/or market stress. To help achieve this objective, the Board establishes liquidity guidelines that require sufficient asset-based liquidity to cover potential funding requirements and to avoid over-dependence on volatile, less reliable funding markets. These guidelines are monitored on a monthly basis by the Corporate ALCO and on a quarterly basis by the Board. These guidelines are established and monitored forwe monitor both
the consolidated company and for the Parent on a stand-alone basis to ensure that the Parent is a source of strength for its regulated, deposit-taking banking subsidiaries. The Parent acts as a source of funding for the Company through the issuance of long-term debt and equity, and WFC Holdings, LLC, an intermediate holding company and subsidiary of the Parent (the “IHC”), provides funding support for the ongoing operational requirements of the Parent and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. For additional information on liquidity risk and funding management, see the “Risk Management – Liquidity Risk and Funding” section in our 2020 Form 10-K. For additional information on the IHC, see the “Regulatory Matters – ‘Living Will’ Requirements and Related Matters” section in this Report.

Liquidity Standards We are subject to a rule, issued by the FRB, OCC and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC),FDIC, that includesestablishes a quantitative minimum liquidity requirement consistent with the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). The rule requires a covered banking institutions,organization, such as Wells Fargo, to hold high-quality liquid assets (HQLA), such aspredominantly consisting of central bank reservesdeposits, government debt securities, and government and corporate debtmortgage-backed securities of federal agencies that can be converted easily and quickly into cash, in an amount equal to or greater than its projected net cash outflows during a 30-day stress period. The rule is applicableLCR applies to the Company on a consolidated basis and to our insured depository institutions (IDIs) with total assets greater thanof $10 billion.billion or more. In addition, rules issued by the FRB impose enhanced liquidity risk management standards on large BHCsbank holding companies (BHCs), such as Wells Fargo.
The FRB, OCC and FDIC have proposedalso issued a rule that would implementimplementing a stable funding requirement, known as the net stable funding ratio (NSFR), which would require large banking organizations, such as Wells Fargo, to maintain a sufficient amount of stable

ratio (NSFR), which requires a covered banking organization, such as Wells Fargo, to maintain a minimum amount of stable funding, including common equity, long-term debt and most types of deposits, in relation to theirits assets, derivative exposures and commitments over a one-year horizon period. The NSFR became effective on July 1, 2021, and applies to the Company on a consolidated basis and to our IDIs with total assets of $10 billion or more. As of July 1, 2021, we were compliant with the NSFR requirement.
Liquidity Coverage Ratio As of June 30, 2020,2021, the consolidated Company, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and Wells Fargo National Bank West were aboveexceeded the minimum LCR requirement of 100%, which is calculated as HQLA divided by projected net cash outflows, as each is defined under the LCR rule. Table 3130 presents the Company’s quarterly average values for the daily-calculated LCR and its components calculated pursuant to the LCR rule requirements.

Liquidity Sources We maintain liquidity in the form of cash, cash equivalents and unencumbered high-quality, liquid debt
securities. These assets make up our primary sources of liquidity which are presented in Table 32.liquidity. Our primary sources of liquidity are substantially the same in composition as HQLA under the LCR rule; however, our primary sources of liquidity will generally exceed HQLA calculated under the LCR rule due to the applicable haircuts to HQLA and the exclusion of excess HQLA at our subsidiary IDIs required under the LCR rule. Our primary sources of liquidity are presented in Table 31, which also includes encumbered securities that are not included as available HQLA in the calculation of the LCR.
Our cash is predominantly on deposit with the Federal Reserve. Debt securities included as part of our primary sources of liquidity are comprised of U.S. Treasury and federal agency debt, and mortgage-backed securitiesMBS issued by federal agencies within our debt securities portfolio. We believe these debt securities provide quick sources of liquidity through sales or by pledging to obtain financing, regardless of market conditions. Some of these debt securities are within our held-to-maturityHTM portfolio and, as such, are not intended for sale but may be pledged to obtain financing. Some of the legal entities within our consolidated group of companies are subject to various regulatory, tax, legal and other restrictions that can limit the transferability of their funds. We believe we maintain adequate liquidity for these entities in consideration of such funds transfer restrictions.

Included in encumbered securities at June 30, 2020, were securities with a fair value of $2.0 billion, which were purchased in June 2020, but settled in July 2020.
In addition to our primary sources of liquidity shown in
Table 32,31, liquidity is also available through the sale or financing of other debt securities including trading and/or available-for-saleAFS debt securities, as well as through the sale, securitization or financing of loans, to the extent such debt securities and loans are not encumbered. As of June 30, 2020,2021, we also maintained approximately $276.1$222.7 billion of available borrowing capacity at various Federal Home Loan Banks and the Federal Reserve Discount Window.
Deposits have historically provided a sizable source of relatively low-cost funds. Deposits were 151%169% and 158% of total loans at June 30, 2020,2021, and 137% at December 31, 2019.
2020, respectively. Additional funding is provided by long-term debt and short-term borrowings. Table 3332 shows selected information for short-term borrowings, which generally mature in less than 30 days. We pledge certain financial instruments that we own to collateralize repurchase agreements and other securities financings.

Long-Term Debt We access domestic and international capital markets for long-term funding (generally greater than one year) through issuances of registered debt securities, private placements and asset-backed secured funding. We issue long-term debt in a variety of maturities and currencies to achieve cost-efficient funding and to maintain an appropriate maturity profile. Proceeds from securities issued were used for general corporate purposes, and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus or prospectus supplement, we expect the proceeds from securities issued in the future will be used for the same purposes. Long-term debt of $230.9 billion at June 30,
2020, increased $2.7 billion from December 31, 2019. We issued $18.8 billion and $37.7 billion of long-term debt in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, and $187 million in July 2020.same purposes. Depending on market conditions, we may purchase our outstanding debt securities from time to time in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer, or otherwise. We issued $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion of long-term debt in the second quarter and first half of 2021, respectively. Table 3433 provides the aggregate carrying value of long-term debt maturities (based on contractual payment dates) for the remainder of 20202021 and the following years thereafter, as of June 30, 2020.2021.

Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management (continued)
Credit RatingsInvestors in the long-term capital markets, as well as other market participants, generally will consider, among other factors, a company’s debt rating in making investment decisions. Rating agencies base their ratings on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including capital adequacy, liquidity, asset quality, business mix, the level and quality of earnings, and rating agency assumptions regarding the probability and extent of federal financial assistance or support for certain large financial institutions. Adverse changes in these factors could result in a reduction of our credit rating; however, our debt securities do not contain credit rating covenants.
On April 22, 2020, Fitch Ratings, Inc. (Fitch)2021, Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) affirmed the Company’s long-term and short-term issuer defaultour ratings and revisedretained the rating outlook to negative from stable as Fitch expects significant operating environment headwinds from the disruption to economic activity and financial markets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This rating action followed Fitch’s event-driven review of the commercially-oriented U.S. global

Asset/Liability Management (continued)

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK MEMBERSHIP The Federal Home Loan Banks (the FHLBs) are a group of cooperatives that lending institutions use to finance housing and economic development in local communities. We are a member of the FHLBs based in Dallas, Des Moines and San Francisco. Each member of the FHLBs isFHLB members are required to maintain a minimum investment in capital stock of the applicable FHLB. The board of directors of each FHLB can increase the minimum investment requirements in the event it has concluded that additional capital is required to allow it to meet its own regulatory capital requirements. Any increase in the minimum investment requirements outside of specified ranges requires the approval of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Because the extent of any obligation to increase our investment in any of the FHLBs depends entirely upon the occurrence of a future event, potential future payments to the FHLBs are not determinable.

LIBOR TRANSITION Due to uncertainty surrounding the suitability and sustainability of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), central banks and global regulators have called for financial market participants to prepare for the discontinuation of LIBOR by the end of 2021. LIBOR is a widely-referenced benchmark rate, which is published in five currencies and a range of tenors, and seeks to estimate the cost at which banks can borrow on an unsecured basis from other banks. We have a significant number of assets and liabilities referenced to LIBOR and other interbank offered rates (IBORs), such as commercial loans, adjustable-rate mortgage loans, derivatives, debt securities, and long-term debt.
Accordingly, we established a LIBOR Transition Office (LTO) in February 2018, with senior management and Board oversight. The LTO is responsible for developing a coordinated strategy to transition the IBOR-linked contracts and processes across Wells Fargo to alternative reference rates and serves as the primary conduit between Wells Fargo and relevant industry groups, such as the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC).
In addition, the Company is actively working with regulators, industry working groups (such as the ARRC) and trade associations that are developing guidance to facilitate an orderly transition away from the use of LIBOR. We are closely monitoring and seeking to follow the recommendations and guidance announced by such organizations, including those announced by the ARRC and the Bank of England’s Working Group on Sterling Risk-Free Reference Rates. We continue to assess the risks and related impacts associated with a transition away from IBORs. See the “Risk Factors” section in the 2019 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the potential impact of a benchmark rate, such as LIBOR, or other referenced financial metric being significantly changed, replaced, or discontinued.
On March 12, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2020-04 – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Update) that provides temporary relief from existing GAAP accounting requirements for entities that perform activities related to reference rate reform. The relief provided by the Update is primarily related to contract modifications and hedge accounting relationships that are impacted by the Company’s reference rate reform activities. For additional information on the Update, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in this Report.
For additional information on the amount of our IBOR-linked assets and liabilities, as well asany future investment in the program structure and initiatives created bycapital stock of the LTO, see the “Risk Management – Asset/Liability Management – LIBOR Transition” section in our 2019 Form 10-K.FHLBs is not determinable.

Capital Management
We have an active program for managing capital through a comprehensive process for assessing the Company’s overall capital adequacy. Our objective is to maintain capital at an amount commensurate with our risk profile and risk tolerance objectives, and to meet both regulatory and market expectations. We primarily fund our working capital needs through the retention of earnings net of both dividends and share repurchases, as well as through the issuance of preferred stock and longlong- and short-term debt. Retained earnings decreased $6.7at June 30, 2021, increased $9.1 billion from December 31, 2019,2020, predominantly as a result of $10.7 billion of Wells Fargo net income, partially offset by $1.5 billion of common and preferred stock dividendsdividends. During the first half of $4.9 billion and net losses of $1.7 billion. During second quarter 2020,2021, we issued $367$819 million of common stock, excluding conversionssubstantially all of preferred shares. On March 15, 2020, we suspended our share repurchase activities for the remainder ofwhich was issued in connection with employee compensation and benefits. During the first quarter and for second quarter 2020. On June 25, 2020, the FRB announced that it was prohibiting large BHCs subject to the FRB’shalf of 2021, we repurchased 53 million shares of common stock at a cost of $2.2 billion. For additional information about capital plan rule, including Wells Fargo, from making any capital distribution (excluding any capital distribution arising from the issuance of a capital instrument eligible for inclusion in the numerator of a regulatory capital ratio), unless otherwise approved by the FRB. Through the end of third quarter 2020, the FRB authorized certain limited exceptions to this prohibition, which are described inplanning, see the “Capital Planning and Stress Testing” section below. For additional information about capital distributions, see the “Capital Planning and Stress Testing” and “Securities Repurchases” sections below.
In January 2020,the first half of 2021, we issued $2.0$4.6 billion of preferred stock and redeemed $4.9 billion of preferred stock, including the redemption of the remaining $350 million of our Preferred Stock, Series N, in June 2021. In July 2021, we issued $1.25 billion of our Preferred Stock, Series Z. In March 2020, we redeemed the remaining $1.8 billion of our Preferred Stock, Series K, and redeemed $669 million of our Preferred Stock, Series T.DD. For moreadditional information, see Note 1716 (Preferred Stock) to Financial Statements in this Report.
On July 28, 2020, the Company reduced its third quarter 2020 common stock dividend to $0.10 per share.

Regulatory Capital GuidelinesRequirements
The Company and each of our IDIs are subject to various regulatory capital adequacy requirements administered by the FRB and the OCC. Risk-based capital (RBC) guidelinesrules establish a risk-adjusted ratioratios relating regulatory capital to different categories of assets and off-balance sheet exposures as discussed below.

RISK-BASED CAPITAL AND RISK-WEIGHTED ASSETS The Company is subject to rules issued by federal banking regulators to implement Basel III capital requirements for U.S. banking organizations. The federal banking regulators’ capital rules, among other things, required on a fully phased-in basis as of June 30, 2020:
a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 9.00%, comprised of a 4.50% minimum requirement plus a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% and for us, as a global systemically important bank (G-SIB), a capital surcharge of 2.00%;
a minimum tier 1 capital ratio of 10.50%, comprised of a 6.00% minimum requirement plus the capital conservation buffer of 2.50% and the G-SIB capital surcharge of 2.00%;
a minimum total capital ratio of 12.50%, comprised of a 8.00% minimum requirement plus the capital conservation buffer of 2.50% and the G-SIB capital surcharge of 2.00%;
a potential countercyclical buffer of up to 2.50% to be added to the minimum capital ratios, which could be imposed by regulators at their discretion if it is determined that a period of excessive credit growth is contributing to an increase in systemic risk; and
a minimum tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.00%.

The Basel III capital requirements for calculating CET1 and tier 1 capital, along with risk-weighted assets (RWAs), are fully phased-in. However, the requirements for determining tier 2 and total capital are still in accordance with Transition Requirements and are scheduled to be fully phased-in by the end of 2021. The Basel III capital rules contain two frameworks for calculating capital requirements, a Standardized Approach and an Advanced Approach applicable to certain institutions, including Wells Fargo. Accordingly, in the assessment of ourOur capital adequacy we must reportis assessed based on the lower of our CET1, tier 1 and totalrisk-based capital ratios calculated under the two approaches. The Company is required to satisfy the risk-based capital ratio requirements to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. Table 35 and Table 36 present the risk-based capital requirements applicable to the Company on a fully phased-in basis under the Standardized Approach and Advanced Approach, respectively, as of June 30, 2021.
Table 35: Risk-Based Capital Requirements – Standardized Approach
wfc-20210630_g1.jpg
Table 36: Risk-Based Capital Requirements – Advanced Approach
wfc-20210630_g2.jpg
In addition to the risk-based capital requirements described in Table 35 and Table 36, if the FRB determines that a period of excessive credit growth is contributing to an increase in systemic risk, a countercyclical buffer of up to 2.50% could be added to the risk-based capital ratio requirements under federal banking regulations.
The capital conservation buffer is applicable to certain institutions, including Wells Fargo, under the Advanced Approach. The difference between RWAs under the StandardizedApproach and Advanced Approach has narrowed in recent quarters dueis intended to absorb losses during times of economic conditions from the COVID-19 pandemic impacting our calculation of Advanced Approach RWAs. In particular, downgrades of loans in our loan portfolio, which drive negative credit risk migration, increased our Advanced Approach RWAs at June 30, 2020. We expect this trend to continue if the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect our customer base.or financial stress.
Effective October 1, 2020, a stress capital buffer will be included in the minimum capital ratio requirements. The stress capital buffer is calculated based on the decrease in a BHC’s risk-based capital ratios under the severely adverse scenario in the FRB’s annual supervisory stress test and related Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR), plus four quarters of planned common stock dividends. TheBecause the stress capital buffer will replace the current 2.50%is calculated annually based on data that can differ over time, our stress capital conservation buffer, and thus our risk-based capital ratio requirements under the Standardized Approach. On June 29,Approach, are subject to change in future periods. The Company’s stress capital buffer for the period October 1, 2020, following the FRB’s release of the results of the 2020 supervisory stress test and related CCAR, thethrough September 30, 2021, is 2.50%. The Company announced that it expects its stress capital buffer for the period October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2022, to be 2.50%, which is the lowest possible under the new framework and would keep the regulatory minimum for the Company’s CET1 ratio at 9.00%3.10%. The FRB has indicated that it will publish the final stress capital buffer for the period October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2022, for each BHC by August 31, 2020. Because the stress capital buffer is calculated annually as part of the FRB’s supervisory stress test and related CCAR and will be based on data that can differ over time, our stress capital buffer, and thus the regulatory minimums for our capital ratios, are subject to change in future years.2021.

Capital Management (continued)
As a G-SIB,global systemically important bank (G-SIB), we are also subject to the FRB’s rule implementing thean additional capital surcharge of between 1.00-4.50% on the minimumrisk-based capital ratio requirements of G-SIBs. Under the rule, we must annually calculate our surcharge under two methods and use the higher of the two surcharges. The first method (method one) considers our size, interconnectedness, cross-jurisdictional activity, substitutability, and complexity, consistent with the methodology developed by the BCBS and the Financial Stability Board (FSB). The second method (method two) uses similar inputs, but replaces substitutability with use of short-term wholesale funding and will generally result in higher surcharges than the BCBS methodology.under method one. Because the G-SIB capital surcharge is calculated annually based on data that can differ
Capital Management (continued)

over time, the amount of the surcharge is subject to change in future years. We expect our G-SIB capital surcharge to decrease by 50 basis points to 1.50% beginning in first quarter 2022, subject to finalization in fourth quarter 2021.
In second quarter 2020,The Basel III capital requirements for calculating CET1 and tier 1 capital, along with risk-weighted assets (RWAs), are fully phased-in. However, the Company electedrequirements for determining tier 2 and total capital are still in accordance with transition requirements and are scheduled to apply a modified transition provision issuedbe fully phased-in by federal banking regulators in March 2020 relatedthe end of 2021.

(3)At June 30, 2021, the impact of the CECL transition provision issued by federal banking regulators on our regulatory capital was an increase in capital of $879 million, reflecting a $991 million (post-tax) increase in capital recognized upon our initial adoption of CECL, offset by 25% of the $7.5 billion increase in our ACL under CECL from January 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021.
(4)Under the Advanced Approach the allowance for credit losses that exceeds expected credit losses is eligible for inclusion in tier 2 capital, to the extent the excess allowance does not exceed 0.60% of Advanced credit RWAs, and under the Standardized Approach, the allowance for credit losses is includable in tier 2 capital up to 1.25% of Standardized credit RWAs, in each case with any excess allowance for credit losses being deducted from the respective total RWAs.
(5)RWAs calculated under the Advanced Approach utilize a risk-sensitive methodology, which relies upon the use of internal credit models based upon our experience with internal rating grades. Advanced Approach also includes an operational risk component, which reflects the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or from external events.
(6)Includes an increase of $547 million under the Standardized Approach and a decrease of $1.4 billion under the Advanced Approach related to the impact of the CECL transition provision on our excess allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2021. See footnote (4) to this table.

In second quarter 2020, the Company elected to apply a modified transition provision issued by federal banking regulators in March 2020 related to the impact of CECL on regulatory capital. The rule permits certain banking organizations to exclude from regulatory capital the initial adoption impact of CECL, plus 25% of the cumulative changes in the ACL under CECL for each period until December 31, 2021, followed by a three-year phase-out of the benefits. The impact of the CECL transition provision on our regulatory capital at June 30, 2020, was an increase in capital of $1.9 billion, reflecting a $991 million (post-tax) increase in capital recognized upon our initial adoption of CECL, offset by 25% of the $11.4 billion increase in our ACL under CECL from January 1, 2020, through June 30, 2020.


(3)Under the Advanced Approach the allowance for credit losses that exceeds expected credit losses is eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 Capital, to the extent the excess allowance does not exceed 0.60% of Advanced credit RWAs, and under the Standardized Approach, the allowance for credit losses is includable in Tier 2 Capital up to 1.25% of Standardized credit RWAs, in each case with any excess allowance for credit losses being deducted from the respective total RWAs.
(4)RWAs calculated under the Advanced Approach utilize a risk-sensitive methodology, which relies upon the use of internal credit models based upon our experience with internal rating grades. Advanced Approach also includes an operational risk component, which reflects the risk of operating loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems.
(5)Under the regulatory guidelines for risk-based capital, on-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items are assigned to one of several broad risk categories according to the obligor, or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of any collateral. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are aggregated for determining total RWAs.
(6)
Includes an increase of $1.5 billion under both the Advanced Approach and Standardized Approach related to the impact of the CECL transition provision on our excess allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2020. See footnote (3) to this table.
(7)Amounts for December 31, 2019, have been revised as a result of a decrease in RWAs under the Advanced Approach due to the correction of duplicated operational loss amounts.

TANGIBLE COMMON EQUITY We also evaluate our business based on certain ratios that utilize tangible common equity. Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents total equity less preferred equity, noncontrolling interests, goodwill, certain identifiable intangible assets (other than MSRs) and goodwill and other intangibles on nonmarketable equity securities, net of applicable deferred taxes. These tangible common equityThe ratios are as follows:
Tangible(i) tangible book value per common share, which represents tangible common equity divided by common shares outstanding; and
Return (ii) return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE),
which represents our annualized earnings contribution as a percentage of tangible common equity.

The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. Management believes that tangible book value per common share and return on average tangible common equity, which utilize tangible common equity, are useful financial measures because they enable management, investors, and others to assess the Company’s use of equity.
Table 4041 provides a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures.

SUPPLEMENTARY LEVERAGE RATIOREQUIREMENTS As a BHC, we are required to maintain a supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) of at least 5.00% (comprised of a 3.00% minimum requirement plus a supplementary leverage buffer of 2.00%) to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. Ourpayments and maintain a minimum tier 1 leverage ratio. Table 42 presents the leverage requirements applicable to the Company as of June 30, 2021.
Table 42:Leverage Requirements Applicable to the Companywfc-20210630_g3.jpg
In addition, our IDIs are required to maintain aan SLR of at least 6.00% to be considered well-capitalizedwell capitalized under applicable regulatory capital adequacy guidelines. In April 2018, therules and maintain a minimum tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.00%.
The FRB and OCC have proposed rules (Proposedamendments to the SLR rules) that would replacerules. For information regarding the 2.00% supplementary leverage buffer with a buffer equalproposed amendments to one-half of our G-SIB capital surcharge. The Proposedthe SLR rules, would similarly tailorsee the current 6.00% SLR requirement for“Capital Management – Leverage Requirements” section in our IDIs. In April 2020 the FRB issued an interim final rule that temporarily allows a BHC to exclude on-balance sheet amounts of U.S. Treasury securities and deposits at Federal Reserve Banks from the calculation of its total leverage exposure in the denominator of the SLR. This interim final rule became effective on April 1, 2020, and expires on March 31, 2021. In May 2020, federal banking regulators issued an interim final rule that permits IDIs to choose to similarly exclude these items from the denominator of their SLRs; however, if an IDI chooses to exclude such amounts from the calculation of its SLR, it will be required to request approval from its primary federal banking regulator before making capital distributions, such as paying dividends, to its parent company. As of June 30, 2020, none of the Company’s IDIs elected to apply this exclusion.Form 10-K.
At June 30, 2020, our2021, the Company’s SLR for the Company was 7.52%7.09%, and we also exceeded the applicable SLR requirements for each of our IDIs. SeeIDIs exceeded their applicable SLR requirements. Table 41 for43 presents information regarding the calculation and components of the SLR.Company’s SLR and tier 1 leverage ratio.

TOTAL LOSS ABSORBING CAPACITY As a G-SIB, we are required to have a minimum amount of equity and unsecured long-term debt for purposes of resolvability and resiliency, often referred to as Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (TLAC). U.S. G-SIBs are required to have a minimum amount of TLAC amount (consisting of CET1 capital and additional tier 1 capital issued directly by the top-tier or covered BHC plus eligible external long-term debt) to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments, as well as a minimum amount of eligible unsecured long-term debt.The components used to calculate our minimum TLAC and eligible unsecured long-term debt requirements as of June 30, 2021, are presented in Table 44.

We believe that our long-term targeted capital structure enables us to invest in and grow our business, satisfy our customers’ financial needs in varying environments, access markets, and maintain flexibility to return capital to our shareholders. Our long-term targeted capital structure also considers capital levels sufficient to exceed capital requirements including the G-SIB capital surcharge. Accordingly, based on the final Basel III capital rules under the lower of the Standardized or Advanced Approaches CET1 capital ratios, we currently target a long-term CET1 capital ratio at or in excessthat is 100 basis points above our regulatory requirement plus an incremental buffer of 10.00%, which includes a 2.00% G-SIB capital surcharge.25 to 50 basis points. Our capital targets are subject to change based on various factors, including changes to the regulatory capital framework and expectations for large banks promulgated by bank regulatory agencies, changes to the regulatory minimumsrequirements for our capital ratios, (including changes to our stress capital buffer), planned capital actions, changes in our risk profile and other factors.
Under the FRB’sThe FRB capital plan rule largeestablishes capital planning and other requirements that govern capital distributions, including dividends and share repurchases, by certain BHCs, are required to submit capital plans annually for review to determine if the FRB has any objections before making any capital distributions. The rule requires updates to capital plans in the event of material changes in a BHC’s risk profile, including as a result of any significant acquisitions.Wells Fargo. The FRB assesses, among other things, the overall financial condition, risk profile, and capital adequacy of BHCs when evaluating their capital plans.
Our 2020 capital plan, which was submitted on April 3, 2020, as part of CCAR, included a comprehensive capital outlook supported by an assessment of expected sources and uses of capital over a given planning horizon under a range of expected and stress scenarios. As part ofOn March 25, 2021, the 2020 CCAR, the FRB also generated a supervisory stress test, which assumed a sharp decline in the economy and significant decline in asset pricing using the information provided by the Company to estimate

performance. The FRB reviewed the supervisory stress test results both as required under the Dodd-Frank Act using a common set of capital actions for all large BHCs and by taking into account the Company’s proposed capital actions. The FRB published its supervisory stress test results as required under the Dodd-Frank Act on June 25, 2020.
On June 25, 2020, the FRB also announced that it is requiringwas extending measures it previously announced limiting large BHCs, including Wells Fargo, to update and resubmit their capital plans within 45 days after the FRB provides updated scenarios. Requiring resubmission will prohibit each BHC from making any capital distribution (excluding any capital distribution arising from the issuance of a capital instrument eligible for inclusion in the numerator of a regulatory capital ratio), unless otherwise approved by the FRB. Through the end of third quarter 2020, theThe FRB is authorizing each BHCgenerally authorized BHCs to (i) make share repurchases relating to issuances of common stock related to employee stock ownership plans; (ii) provided that the BHC does not increase the amount of its common stock dividends to

These provisions may be extended by the FRB quarter-by-quarter.limitations on capital distributions ended on June 30, 2021.
Concurrently with CCAR, federal banking regulators also require large BHCs and banks to conduct their own stress tests to evaluate whether the institution has sufficient capital to continue to operate during periods of adverse economic and financial conditions. These stress testing requirements set forth

Additionally, our capital plan includes gross common share repurchases of approximately $18 billion for the results in June 2020.four-quarter period beginning third quarter 2021 through second quarter 2022.

Securities Repurchases
From time to time the Board authorizes the Company to repurchase shares of our common stock. Although we announce when the Board authorizes share repurchases, we typically do not give any public notice before we repurchase our shares. Future stock repurchases may be private or open-market repurchases, including block transactions, accelerated or delayed block transactions, forward repurchase transactions, and similar transactions. Additionally, we may enter into plans to purchase stock that satisfy the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Various factors determine the amount of our share repurchases, including our capital requirements, the number of shares we expect to issue for employee benefit plans and acquisitions, market conditions (including the trading price of our stock), and regulatory and legal considerations, including under the FRB’s response to our capital plan and to changes in our risk profile.rule. Due to the various factors impactingthat may impact the amount of our share repurchases and the fact that we tend to be in the market regularly to satisfy repurchase considerations under our capital plan, our share repurchases occur at various price levels. We may suspend share repurchase activity at any time. On March 15, 2020, we, along with the other members of the Financial Services Forum, suspended our share repurchase activities for the remainder of the first quarter and for second quarter 2020. On June 25, 2020, the FRB announced that it was prohibiting large BHCs, including Wells Fargo, from making any capital distribution (excluding any capital distribution arising from the issuance of a capital instrument eligible for inclusion in the numerator of a regulatory capital ratio), unless otherwise approved by the FRB. Through the end of third quarter 2020, the FRB authorized
certain limited exceptions to this prohibition, which are described in the “Capital Planning and Stress Testing” section above.
At June 30, 2020,2021, we had remaining Board authority to repurchase approximately 168615 million shares, subject to regulatory and legal conditions. For moreadditional information about share repurchases during second quarter 2020,2021, see Part II, Item 2 in this Report.
Historically, our policy has been to repurchase shares under the “safe harbor” conditions of Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 including a limitation on the daily volume of repurchases. Rule 10b-18 imposes an additional daily volume limitation on share repurchases during a pending merger or acquisition in which shares of our stock will constitute some or all of the consideration. Our management may determine that during a pending stock merger or acquisition when the safe harbor would otherwise be available, it is in our best interest to repurchase shares in excess of this additional daily volume limitation. In such cases, we intend to repurchase shares in compliance with the other conditions of the safe harbor, including the standing daily volume limitation that applies whether or not there is a pending stock merger or acquisition.
For additional information about share repurchases, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in this Report.

Regulatory Matters (continued)

Regulatory Matters
Since the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010, theThe U.S. financial services industry has beenis subject to a significant increase in regulation and regulatory oversight initiatives. This increased regulation and oversight has substantially changedmay continue to impact how most U.S. financial services companies conduct business and hasmay continue to result in increased their regulatory compliance costs.
For a discussion of certain consent orders applicable to the Company, see the “Overview” section in this Report. The following supplements our discussion of the other significant regulations and regulatory oversight initiatives that have affected or may affect our business contained in the “Regulatory Matters” and “Risk Factors” sections in our 20192020 Form 10-K10-K.

“Living Will” Requirements and in our 2020 First Quarter Report on Form 10-Q.Related Matters

REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS RELATED TO COVID-19In response toRules adopted by the COVID-19 pandemicFRB and related events, federal banking regulators have undertaken a number of measures to help stabilize the banking sector, supportFDIC under the broader economy, and facilitate the ability of banking organizations likeDodd-Frank Act require large financial institutions, including Wells Fargo, to continue lendingprepare and periodically submit resolution plans, also known as “living wills,” that would facilitate their rapid and orderly resolution in the event of material financial distress or failure. Under the rules, rapid and orderly resolution means a reorganization or liquidation of the covered company under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that can be accomplished in a reasonable period of time and in a manner that substantially mitigates the risk that failure would have serious adverse effects on the financial stability of the United States. In addition to consumersthe Company’s resolution plan, our national bank subsidiary, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), is also required to prepare and businesses. For example,periodically submit a resolution plan. If the FRB and/or FDIC determine that our resolution plan has deficiencies, they may impose more stringent capital, leverage or liquidity requirements on us or restrict our growth, activities or operations until we adequately remedy the deficiencies. If the FRB and/or FDIC ultimately determine that we have been unable to remedy any deficiencies, they could require us to divest certain assets or operations. On June 29, 2021, we submitted our most recent resolution plan to the FRB and FDIC.
If Wells Fargo were to fail, it may be resolved in ordera bankruptcy proceeding or, if certain conditions are met, under the resolution regime created by the Dodd-Frank Act known as the “orderly liquidation authority.” The orderly liquidation authority allows for the appointment of the FDIC as receiver for a systemically
important financial institution that is in default or in danger of default if, among other things, the resolution of the institution under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code would have serious adverse effects on financial stability in the United States. If the FDIC is appointed as receiver for Wells Fargo & Company (the “Parent”), then the orderly liquidation authority, rather than the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, would determine the powers of the receiver and the rights and obligations of our security holders. The FDIC’s orderly liquidation authority requires that security holders of a company in receivership bear all losses before U.S. taxpayers are exposed to any losses, and allows the FDIC to disregard the strict priority of creditor claims under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in certain circumstances.
The strategy described in our most recent resolution plan is a single point of entry strategy, in which the Parent would likely be the only material legal entity to enter resolution proceedings. However, we are not obligated to maintain a single point of entry strategy, and the strategy described in our resolution plan is not binding in the event of an actual resolution of Wells Fargo, whether conducted under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or by the FDIC under the orderly liquidation authority. The FDIC has announced that a single point of entry strategy may be a desirable strategy under its implementation of the orderly liquidation authority, but not all aspects of how the FDIC might exercise this authority are known and additional rulemaking is possible.
To facilitate the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act),orderly resolution of systemically important financial institutions in case of material distress or failure, federal banking regulators issued interim final rules designed to encourage financialregulations require that institutions, to participate in stimulus measures, such as the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection ProgramWells Fargo, maintain a minimum amount of equity and the FRB’s Main Street Lending Program. Similarly, the FRB launched a number of lending facilities designedunsecured debt to enhance liquidityabsorb losses and the functioning of markets, including facilities covering money market mutual funds and term asset-backed securities loans.recapitalize operating subsidiaries. Federal banking regulators have also required measures to facilitate the continued operation of operating subsidiaries notwithstanding the failure of their parent companies, such as limitations on parent guarantees, and have issued several joint interim final rules amending the regulatoryguidance encouraging institutions to take legally binding measures to provide capital and TLAC rulesliquidity resources to certain subsidiaries to facilitate an orderly resolution. In response to the regulators’ guidance and to facilitate the orderly resolution of the Company, on June 28, 2017, the Parent entered into a support agreement, as amended

Regulatory Matters (continued)
and restated on June 26, 2019 (the “Support Agreement”), with WFC Holdings, LLC, an intermediate holding company and subsidiary of the Parent (the “IHC”), the Bank, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“WFS”), Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC (“WFCS”), and certain other subsidiaries of the Parent designated from time to time as material entities for resolution planning purposes (the “Covered Entities”) or identified from time to time as related support entities in our resolution plan (the “Related Support Entities”). Pursuant to the Support Agreement, the Parent transferred a significant amount of its assets, including the majority of its cash, deposits, liquid securities and intercompany loans (but excluding its equity interests in its subsidiaries and certain other assets), to the IHC and will continue to transfer those types of assets to the IHC from time to time. In the event of our material financial distress or failure, the IHC will be obligated to use the transferred assets to provide capital and/or liquidity to the Bank, WFS, WFCS, and the Covered Entities pursuant to the Support Agreement. Under the Support Agreement, the IHC will also provide funding and liquidity to the Parent through subordinated notes and a committed line of credit, which, together with the issuance of dividends, is expected to provide the Parent, during business as usual operating conditions, with the same access to cash necessary to service its debts, pay dividends, repurchase its shares, and perform its other obligations as it would have had if it had not entered into these arrangements and transferred any assets. If certain liquidity and/or capital metrics fall below defined triggers, or if the Parent’s board of directors authorizes it to file a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the subordinated notes would be forgiven, the committed line of credit would terminate, and the IHC’s ability to pay dividends to the Parent would be restricted, any of which could materially and adversely impact the Parent’s liquidity and its ability to satisfy its debts and other prudential regulationsobligations, and could result in the commencement of bankruptcy proceedings by the Parent at an earlier time than might have otherwise occurred if the Support Agreement were not implemented. The respective obligations under the Support Agreement of the Parent, the IHC, the Bank, and the Related Support Entities are secured pursuant to ease certain restrictions on banking organizations and encourage the use of certain FRB-established facilities in order to further promote lending to consumers and businesses.a related security agreement.

In addition to our resolution plans, we must also prepare and submit to the FRB a recovery plan that identifies a range of options that we may consider during times of idiosyncratic or systemic economic stress to remedy any financial weaknesses and restore market confidence without extraordinary government support. Recovery options include the possible sale, transfer or disposal of assets, securities, loan portfolios or businesses. The Bank must also prepare and submit to the OCC anda recovery plan that sets forth the Bank’s plan to remain a going concern when the Bank is experiencing considerable financial or operational stress, but has not yet deteriorated to the point where liquidation or resolution is imminent. If either the FRB have issued guidelines for banks and BHCs related to working with customers affected byor the COVID-19 pandemic, including guidance with respect to waiving fees, offering repayment accommodations, providing payment deferrals, and increasing daily withdrawal limits at automated teller machines.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies (see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in our 20192020 Form 10-K) are fundamental to understanding our results of operations and financial condition because they require that we use estimates and assumptions that may affect the value of our assets or liabilities and financial results. FiveSix of these policies are critical because they require management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. These policies govern:
the allowance for credit losses;
the valuation of residential MSRs;
the fair value of financial instruments;
income taxes; and
liability for contingent litigation losses.

Forward-looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures. From time to time management may discuss forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as forward-looking estimates or targets for return on average tangible common equity. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because we are unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of amounts that would be necessary for the reconciliation due to the complexity and inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying future amounts or when they may occur. Such unavailable information could be significant to future results.

Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management evaluated the effectiveness, as of June 30, 2021, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer participated in the evaluation. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and includes those policies and procedures that:
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. No change occurred during second quarter 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to Financial Statements
-See the Glossary of Acronyms at the end of this Report for terms used throughout the Financial Statements and related Notes.
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Wells Fargo & Company is a diversified financial services company. We provide banking, investment and mortgage products and services, as well as consumer and commercial finance, through banking locations and offices, the internet and other distribution channels to individuals, businesses and institutions in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and in countries outside the U.S. When we refer to “Wells Fargo,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us,” we mean Wells Fargo & Company and Subsidiaries (consolidated). Wells Fargo & Company (the Parent) is a financial holding company and a bank holding company. We also hold a majority interest in a real estate investment trust, which has publicly traded preferred stock outstanding.
Our accounting and reporting policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and practices in the financial services industry. For discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (2020 Form 10-K).
To prepare the financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management must make estimates based on assumptions about future economic and market conditions (for example, unemployment, market liquidity, real estate prices, etc.) that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, income and expenses during the reporting period and the related disclosures. Although our estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could be worse than anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. Management has made significant estimates in several areas, including:
allowance for credit losses (Note 4 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses));
valuations of residential mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) (Note 8 (Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities) and Note 9 (Mortgage Banking Activities));
valuations of financial instruments (Note 15 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities));
liabilities for contingent litigation losses (Note 13 (Legal Actions));
income taxes; and
goodwill impairment (Note 10 (Intangible Assets)).

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

These unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q. The results of operations in the interim financial statements do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the full year. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with our adoption2020 Form 10-K.


Change in Accounting Policies
In second quarter 2021, we elected to change our accounting method for low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) investments from the equity method of accounting to the proportional amortization method. Under the proportional amortization method, the investments are carried at amortized cost and amortized in proportion to the tax credits received. The amortization of the investments and the related tax impacts are recognized in income tax expense. Previously, we recognized the amortization of the investments in other noninterest income and the related tax impacts were recognized in income tax expense. We determined that the proportional amortization method is preferable because it better aligns the financial statement presentation with the economic impact of these investments, which generate tax credits over the lives of the investments. Adoption of the proportional amortization method was applied retrospectively, to the earliest period presented, which resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to reduce retained earnings by $283 million as of January 1, 2020.
In second quarter 2021, we also elected to change the presentation of investment tax credits related to solar energy investments, which are accounted for under the deferral method. We reclassified the investment tax credits on our consolidated balance sheet from accrued expenses and other liabilities to a reduction of the carrying value of the investment balances. We also reclassified the investment tax credits, which are recognized over time, from income tax expense to interest income for solar energy leases or noninterest income for solar energy equity investments. We determined that this presentation is preferable because it better reflects the financial statement presentation of the investment tax credits as an integral component of the investments. The change in accounting policy was adopted retrospectively to January 1, 2020.
Table 1.1 presents the impact of the accounting policy changes for LIHTC investments and solar energy investments to our consolidated statement of income and consolidated balance sheet. There was no material impact to the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2021
In 2021, we adopted the following new accounting guidance:
Accounting Standards Update (ASU or Update) 2021-01 – Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope
ASU 2020-08 – Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs
ASU 2020-01 – Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force)
ASU 2019-12 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

ASU 2021-01 clarifies the scope of Topic 848 to include derivatives affected by changes in interest rates for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment as part of the market-wide transition to new reference rates (commonly referred to as the “discounting transition”), even if they do not reference the London Interbank Offered Rate or another rate that is expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. The Update also clarifies other aspects of the relief provided in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 848. We adopted this Update in first quarter 2021 on a prospective basis, and the guidance will be followed until the Update terminates on December 31, 2022. The Update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2020-08 clarifies the accounting for purchased callable debt securities carried at a premium and was issued to correct an unintended application of ASU 2017-08 – Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities,which requires amortization of such premiums to the earliest call date, but was not clear for the method to be used for instruments with multiple call dates. The Update now specifies that such premiums are amortized to the next call date and requires reassessment throughout the life of the instruments with multiple call dates. We adopted this Update in first quarter
2021. The Update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2020-01 clarifies the accounting for equity securities upon transition between the measurement alternative and equity method. The Update also clarifies for forward contracts and options to purchase equity securities an entity need not consider whether upon settlement of the forward contract or option if the equity securities would be accounted for by the equity method or the fair value option.

Note 3: Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities
Table 3.1 provides the amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses.losses (ACL) for debt securities, and fair value by major categories of available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities, which are carried at fair value, and held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities, which are carried at amortized cost, net of the ACL. The net unrealized gains (losses) for AFS debt securities are reported as a component of cumulative other comprehensive income (OCI), net of the ACL and applicable income taxes. Information on debt securities held for trading is included in Note 2 (Trading Activities).
    Outstanding balances exclude accrued interest receivable on AFS and HTM debt securities, which are included in other assets. See Note 7 (Other Assets) for additional information on accrued interest receivable. Amounts considered to be uncollectible are reversed through interest income. The interest income reversed in the second quarter and first half of both 2021 and 2020 was insignificant.

Credit Quality
We monitor credit quality of debt securities by evaluating various attributes and utilize such information in our evaluation of the appropriateness of the ACL for debt securities. The credit quality indicators that we most closely monitor include credit ratings and delinquency status and are based on information as of our financial statement date.
CREDIT RATINGS Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a debt security. We determine the credit rating of a security according to the lowest credit rating made available by national recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs). Debt securities rated investment grade, that is those with ratings similar to BBB-/Baa3 or above, as defined by NRSROs, are generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be low credit risk. Conversely, debt securities rated below investment grade, labeled as “speculative grade” by the rating agencies, are considered to be distinctively higher
credit risk than investment grade debt securities. For debt securities not rated by NRSROs, we determine an internal credit grade of the debt securities (used for credit risk management purposes) equivalent to the credit ratings assigned by major credit agencies. Substantially all of our debt securities were rated by NRSROs at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.
Table 3.4 shows the percentage of fair value of AFS debt securities and amortized cost of HTM debt securities determined to be rated investment grade, inclusive of securities rated based on internal credit grades.

DELINQUENCY STATUS AND NONACCRUAL DEBT SECURITIESDebt security issuers that are delinquent in payment of amounts due under contractual debt agreements have a higher probability of recognition of credit losses. As such, as part of our monitoring of the credit quality of the debt security portfolio, we consider whether debt securities we own are past due in payment of principal or interest payments and whether any securities have been placed into nonaccrual status.
Debt securities that are past due and still accruing were insignificant at both June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020. The carrying value of debt securities in nonaccrual status was insignificant at both June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020. Charge-offs on debt securities were insignificant in the second quarter and first half of both 2021 and 2020.
Purchased debt securities with credit deterioration (PCD) are not considered to be in nonaccrual status, as payments from issuers of these securities remain current. PCD securities were insignificant in the second quarter and first half of both 2021 and 2020.

Unrealized Losses of Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
Table 3.5 shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of AFS debt securities by length of time those individual securities in each category have been in a continuous loss position. Debt securities on which we have recorded credit impairment are
categorized as being “less than 12 months” or “12 months or more” in a continuous loss position based on the point in time that the fair value declined to below the amortized cost basis, net of allowance for credit losses.

We have assessed each debt security with gross unrealized losses included in the previous table for credit impairment. As part of that assessment we evaluated and concluded that we do not intend to sell any of the debt securities, and that it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell, prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis. We evaluate, where necessary, whether credit impairment exists by comparing the present value of the expected cash flows to the debt securities’ amortized cost basis. Credit impairment is recorded as an ACL for debt securities.
For descriptions of the factors we consider when analyzing debt securities for impairment as well as methodology and significant inputs used to measure credit losses, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our 2020 Form 10-K.

Note 4:  Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses
Table 4.1 presents total loans outstanding by portfolio segment and class of financing receivable. Outstanding balances include unearned income, net deferred loan fees or costs, and unamortized discounts and premiums. These amounts were less
than 1% of our total loans outstanding at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.
Outstanding balances exclude accrued interest receivable on loans, except for certain revolving loans, such as credit card loans.
See Note 7 (Other Assets) for additional information on accrued interest receivable. Amounts considered to be uncollectible are reversed through interest income. During the first half of 2021, we reversed accrued interest receivable of $24 million for our commercial portfolio segment and $104 million for our consumer portfolio segment, compared with $21 million and $114 million, respectively, for the same period a year ago.

Commitments to Lend
A commitment to lend is a legally binding agreement to lend to a customer, usually at a stated interest rate, if funded, and for specific purposes and time periods. We generally require a fee to extend such commitments. Certain commitments are subject to loan agreements with covenants regarding the financial performance of the customer or borrowing base formulas on an ongoing basis that must be met before we are required to fund the commitment. We may reduce or cancel consumer commitments, including home equity lines and credit card lines, in accordance with the contracts and applicable law. For unconditionally cancelable commitments at our discretion, we do not recognize an ACL.
We may, as a representative for other lenders, advance funds or provide for the issuance of letters of credit under syndicated loan or letter of credit agreements. Any advances are generally repaid in less than a week and would normally require default of both the customer and another lender to expose us to loss. The unfunded amount of these temporary advance arrangements totaled approximately $82.6 billion at June 30, 2021.
We issue commercial letters of credit to assist customers in purchasing goods or services, typically for international trade. At June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, we had $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, of outstanding issued commercial letters of credit. We also originate multipurpose lending commitments under which borrowers have the option to draw on the facility for different purposes in one of several forms, including a standby letter of credit. See Note 11 (Guarantees and Other Commitments) for additional information on standby letters of credit.
When we enter into commitments, we are exposed to credit risk. The maximum credit risk for these commitments will generally be lower than the contractual amount because a significant portion of these commitments are not funded. We manage the potential risk in commitments to lend by limiting the total amount of commitments, both by individual customer and in total, by monitoring the size and maturity structure of these commitments and by applying the same credit standards for these commitments as for all of our credit activities.
For loans and commitments to lend, we generally require collateral or a guarantee. We may require various types of collateral, including commercial and consumer real estate, autos, other short-term liquid assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and long-lived assets, such as equipment and other business assets. Collateral requirements for each loan or commitment may vary based on the loan product and our assessment of a customer’s credit risk according to the specific credit underwriting, including credit terms and structure.
The contractual amount of our unfunded credit commitments, including unissued standby and commercial letters of credit, is summarized by portfolio segment and class of financing receivable in Table 4.4. The table excludes the issued standby and commercial letters of credit and temporary advance arrangements described above.

Note 4: Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses (continued)
Allowance for Credit Losses
We maintain an allowance for credit losses (ACL) for loans, which is management’s estimate of the expected credit losses in the loan portfolio and unfunded credit commitments, at the balance sheet date, excluding loans and unfunded credit commitments carried at fair value or held for sale. Additionally, we maintain an allowance for credit losses for debt securities classified as either held-to-maturity (HTM) or available-for-sale (AFS), other financial assets measured at amortized cost, net investments in leases, and other off-balance sheet credit exposures. In connection with our adoption of CECL, we updated our approach for estimating expected credit losses, which includes new areas for management judgment, described more fully below, and updated our accounting policies. For more information, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in this Report.
For loans and HTM debt securities, the ACL is measured based on the remaining contractual term of the financial asset (including off-balance sheet credit exposures) adjusted, as appropriate, for prepayments and permitted extension options using historical experience, current conditions, and forecasted information. For AFS debt securities, the ACL is measured using a discounted cash flow approach and is limited to the difference between the fair value of the security and its amortized cost.
Changes in the ACL and, therefore, in the related provision for credit losses can materially affect net income. In applying the judgment and review required to determine the ACL, management considerations include the evaluation of past events, historical experience, changes in economic forecasts and conditions, customer behavior, collateral values, and the length of the initial loss forecast period, and other influences. From time to time, changes in economic factors or assumptions, business strategy, products or product mix, or debt security investment strategy, may result in a corresponding increase or decrease in our ACL. While our methodology attributes portions of the ACL to specific financial asset classes (loan and debt security portfolios)
or loan portfolio segments (commercial and consumer), the entire ACL is available to absorb credit losses of the company.
Judgment is specifically applied in:
Economic assumptions and the length of the initial loss forecast period. Forecasted economic variables, such as gross domestic product (GDP), unemployment rate or collateral asset prices, are used to estimate expected credit losses. While many of these economic variables are evaluated at the macro-economy level, some economic variables may be forecasted at more granular levels, for example, using the metro statistical area (MSA) level for unemployment rates, home prices and commercial real estate prices. Quarterly, we assess the length of the initial loss forecast period and have currently set the period to one year. Management exercises judgment when assigning weight to the three economic scenarios that are used to estimate future credit losses. The three scenarios include a most likely expectation of economic variables referred to as the base case scenario, as well as an optimistic (upside) scenario and a pessimistic (downside) scenario.
Reversion of losses beyond the initial forecast period. We use a reversion approach to connect the losses estimated for our initial loss forecast period to the period of our historical loss forecast based on economic conditions at the measurement date. Our reversion methodology considers the type of portfolio, point in the credit cycle, expected length of recessions and recoveries, as well as other relevant factors. The length of reversion period varies by asset type – one year for shorter contractual term loans such as commercial loans and two years for longer contractual term loans such as real estate 1-4 family mortgage loans. We assess the reversion approach on a quarterly basis and the length of the reversion period by asset type annually.
Historical loss expectations. At the end of the reversion period, we incorporate the changes in economic variables observed during representative historical time periods that include both recessions and expansions. This analysis is used to compute average losses for any given portfolio and its associated credit characteristics. Annually, we assess the historical time periods and ensure the average loss estimates are representative of our historical loss experience.
Credit risk ratings applied to individual commercial loans, unfunded credit commitments, and debt securities. Individually assessed credit risk ratings are considered key credit variables in our modeled approaches to help assess probability of default and loss given default. Borrower quality ratings are aligned to the borrower’s financial strength and contribute to forecasted probability of default curves. Collateral quality ratings combined with forecasted collateral prices (as applicable) contribute to the forecasted severity of loss in the event of default. These credit risk ratings are reviewed by experienced senior credit officers and subjected to reviews by an internal team of credit risk specialists.
Usage of credit loss estimation models. We use internally developed models that incorporate credit attributes and economic variables to generate estimates of credit losses. Management uses a combination of judgement and quantitative analytics in the determination of segmentation, modeling approach, and variables that are leveraged in the models. These models are validated in accordance with the Company’s policies by an internal model validation group.We routinely assess our model performance and apply

adjustments when necessary to improve the accuracy of loss estimation. We also assess our models for limitations against the company-wide risk inventory to help ensure that we appropriately capture known and emerging risks in our estimate of expected credit losses and apply overlays as needed.
Valuation of collateral. The current fair value of collateral is utilized to assess the expected credit losses when a financial asset is considered to be collateral dependent. We apply judgment when valuing the collateral either through appraisals, evaluation of the cash flows of the property, or other quantitative techniques. Decreases in collateral valuations support incremental charge-downs and increases in collateral valuation are included in the allowance for credit losses as a negative allowance when the financial asset has been previously written-down below current recovery value.
Contractual term considerations. The remaining contractual term of a loan is adjusted for expected prepayments and certain expected extensions, renewals, or modifications. We extend the contractual term when we are not able to unconditionally cancel contractual renewals or extension options. We also incorporate into our allowance for credit losses any scenarios where we reasonably expect to provide an extension through a TDR.
Qualitative factors which may not be adequately captured in the loss models. These amounts represent management’s judgment of risks inherent in the processes and assumptions used in establishing the ACL. We also consider economic environmental factors, modeling assumptions and performance, process risk, and other subjective factors, including industry trends and emerging risk assessments.

SensitivityThe ACL for loans is sensitive to changes in key assumptions which requires significant judgment to be used by management. Future amounts of the ACL for loans will be based on a variety of factors, including loan balance changes, portfolio credit quality, and general economic conditions. General economic conditions are forecasted using economic variables, which could have varying impacts on different financial assets or portfolios. Additionally, throughout numerous credit cycles, there are observed changes in economic variables such as the unemployment rate, GDP and real estate prices which may not move in a correlated manner as variables may move in opposite directions or differ across portfolios or geography.
In our sensitivity analysis, we applied 50% weight to both the base case scenario and the downside scenario to reflect the potential for further economic deterioration from a COVID-19 resurgence. The outcomes of both scenarios were influenced by the duration, severity, and timing of changes in economic variables within those scenarios. The result of the sensitivity analysis would have increased the ACL for loans by approximately $5.0 billion at June 30, 2020.
This hypothetical increase in our ACL for loans represents changes to our quantitative estimate and does not incorporate the impact of management judgment for qualitative factors applied in the current ACL for loans, which may have a positive or negative effect on the results. Also, if this hypothetical result were to actually materialize, the increase in our ACL for loans may be recognized over time if actual loss expectations exceed our historical loss experience.
This sensitivity analysis does not represent management’s view of expected credit losses at the balance sheet date. The sensitivity analysis excludes the ACL for debt securities given its size relative to the overall ACL. Management believes that the estimate for the ACL for loans was appropriate at the balance sheet date. Because significant judgment is used, it is possible that others performing similar analyses could reach different conclusions.



Current Accounting Developments
Table 42 provides the significant accounting updates applicable to us that have been issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) but are not yet effective.

Table 42:Current Accounting Developments – Issued Standards
DescriptionEffective date and financial statement impact
ASU 2018-12 – Financial Services – Insurance (Topic 944):
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts and subsequent related updates
The Update requires all features in long-duration insurance contracts that meet the definition of a market risk benefit to be measured at fair value through earnings with changes in fair value attributable to our own credit risk recognized in other comprehensive income. Currently, two measurement models exist for these features, fair value and insurance accrual. The Update requires the use of a standardized discount rate and routine updates for insurance assumptions used in valuing the liability for future policy benefits for traditional long-duration contracts. The Update also simplifies the amortization of deferred acquisition costs.The guidance becomes effective on January 1, 2022. Certain of our variable annuity reinsurance products meet the definition of market risk benefits and will require the associated insurance related reserves for these products to be measured at fair value as of the earliest period presented, with the cumulative effect on fair value for changes attributable to our own credit risk recognized in the beginning balance of accumulated other comprehensive income. The cumulative effect of the difference between fair value and carrying value, excluding the effect of our own credit, will be recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings. As of June 30, 2020, we held $1.1 billion in insurance-related reserves of which $568 million was in scope of the Update. A total of $509 million was associated with products that meet the definition of market risk benefits, and of this amount, $52 million was measured at fair value under current accounting standards. The market risk benefits are largely indexed to U.S. equity and fixed income markets. Upon adoption, we may incur periodic earnings volatility from changes in the fair value of market risk benefits generally due to the long duration of these contracts. We plan to economically hedge this volatility, where feasible. The ultimate impact of these changes will depend on the composition of our market risk benefits portfolio at the date of adoption. Changes in the accounting for the liability of future policy benefits for traditional long-duration contracts and deferred acquisition costs will be applied to all outstanding long-duration contracts on the basis of their existing carrying amounts at the beginning of the earliest period presented, and are not expected to be material.

Forward-Looking Statements (continued)

Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains forward-looking statements. In addition, we may make forward-looking statements in our other documents filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and our management may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, representatives of the media and others. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “target,” “projects,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “will,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “can” and similar references to future periods. In particular, forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make about: (i) the future operating or financial performance of the Company, including our outlook for future growth; (ii) our noninterest expense and efficiency ratio; (iii) future credit quality and performance, including our expectations regarding future loan losses, our allowance for credit losses, and the economic scenarios considered to develop the allowance; (iv) our expectations regarding net interest income and net interest margin; (v) loan growth or the reduction or mitigation of risk in our loan portfolios; (vi) future capital or liquidity levels, ratios or targets; (vii) the performance of our mortgage business and any related exposures; (viii) the expected outcome and impact of legal, regulatory and legislative developments, as well as our expectations regarding compliance therewith; (ix) future common stock dividends, common share repurchases and other uses of capital; (x) our targeted range for return on assets, return on equity, and return on tangible common equity; (xi) expectations regarding our effective income tax rate; (xii) the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings; and (xiii) the Company’s plans, objectives and strategies.
Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. We caution you, therefore, against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation:
current and future economic and market conditions, including the effects of declines in housing prices, high unemployment rates, U.S. fiscal debt, budget and tax matters, geopolitical matters, and any slowdown in global economic growth;
the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, including on our credit quality and business operations, as well as its impact on general economic and financial market conditions;
our capital and liquidity requirements (including under regulatory capital standards, such as the Basel III capital standards) and our ability to generate capital internally or raise capital on favorable terms;
financial services reform and other current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses, including the Dodd-Frank Act and other legislation and regulation relating to bank products and services;
developments in our mortgage banking business, including the extent of the success of our mortgage loan modification efforts, the amount of mortgage loan repurchase demands that we receive, any negative effects relating to our mortgage servicing, loan modification or foreclosure practices, and the effects of regulatory or judicial requirements or guidance impacting our mortgage banking business and any changes in industry standards;
our ability to realize any efficiency ratio or expense target as part of our expense management initiatives, including as a result of business and economic cyclicality, seasonality, changes in our business composition and operating environment, growth in our businesses and/or acquisitions, and unexpected expenses relating to, among other things, litigation and regulatory matters;
the effect of the current interest rate environment or changes in interest rates or in the level or composition of our assets or liabilities on our net interest income, net interest margin and our mortgage originations, mortgage servicing rights and mortgage loans held for sale;
significant turbulence or a disruption in the capital or financial markets, which could result in, among other things, reduced investor demand for mortgage loans, a reduction in the availability of funding or increased funding costs, and declines in asset values and/or recognition of impairments of securities held in our debt securities and equity securities portfolios;
the effect of a fall in stock market prices on our investment banking business and our fee income from our brokerage, asset and wealth management businesses;
negative effects from the retail banking sales practices matter and from other instances where customers may have experienced financial harm, including on our legal, operational and compliance costs, our ability to engage in certain business activities or offer certain products or services, our ability to keep and attract customers, our ability to attract and retain qualified team members, and our reputation;
resolution of regulatory matters, litigation, or other legal actions, which may result in, among other things, additional costs, fines, penalties, restrictions on our business activities, reputational harm, or other adverse consequences;
a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors or other service providers, including as a result of cyber attacks;
the effect of changes in the level of checking or savings account deposits on our funding costs and net interest margin;
fiscal and monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board;
changes to U.S. tax guidance and regulations, as well as the effect of discrete items on our effective income tax rate;
our ability to develop and execute effective business plans and strategies; and
the other risk factors and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as supplemented by the “Risk Factors” section in this Report.
In addition to the above factors, we also caution that the amount and timing of any future common stock dividends or repurchases will depend on the earnings, cash requirements and financial condition of the Company, market conditions, capital

requirements (including under Basel capital standards), common stock issuance requirements, applicable law and regulations (including federal securities laws and federal banking regulations), and other factors deemed relevant by the Company’s Board of Directors, and may be subject to regulatory approval or conditions.
For more information about factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, refer to our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the discussion under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as supplemented by the “Risk Factors” section in this Report, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on its website at www.sec.gov1
Any forward-looking statement made by us speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Forward-looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures. From time to time management may discuss forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, such as forward-looking estimates or targets for return on average tangible common equity. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because we are unable to provide, without unreasonable effort, a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of amounts that would be necessary for the reconciliation due to the complexity and inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying future amounts or when they may occur. Such unavailable information could be significant to future results.

Risk Factors
An investment in the Company involves risk, including the possibility that the value of the investment could fall substantially and that dividends or other distributions on the investment could be reduced or eliminated. For a discussion of risk factors that could adversely affect our financial results and condition, and the value of, and return on, an investment in the Company, we refer you to the “Risk Factors” section in our 2019 Form 10-K.
The following risk factor supplements the “Risk Factors” section in our 2019 Form 10-K.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business and financial results, and the ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, and increased unemployment levels. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses and the institution of social distancing and sheltering in place requirements in many states and communities. As a result, the demand for our products and services may continue to be significantly impacted, which could adversely affect our revenue. Furthermore, the pandemic could continue to result in the recognition of credit losses in our loan portfolios and increases in our allowance for credit losses, particularly if businesses remain closed, the impact on the global economy worsens, or more customers draw on their lines of credit or seek additional loans to help finance their businesses. Similarly, because of changing economic and market conditions affecting issuers, we may be required to recognize further impairments on the securities we hold, as well as reductions in other comprehensive income. Moreover, the persistence of adverse economic conditions and reduced revenue may adversely affect the fair value of our operating segments and underlying reporting units which may result in goodwill impairment. Our business operations may be further disrupted if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic, and we have already temporarily closed certain of our branches and offices.
Moreover, the pandemic has created additional operational and compliance risks, including the need to quickly implement and execute new programs and procedures for the products and services we offer our customers, provide enhanced safety measures for our employees and customers, comply with rapidly changing regulatory requirements, address any increased risk of fraudulent activity, and protect the integrity and functionality of our systems and networks as a larger number of our employees work remotely. The pandemic could also result in or contribute to additional downgrades to our credit ratings or credit outlook. In response to the pandemic, we have suspended residential property foreclosure sales and evictions, and are offering fee waivers, payment deferrals, and other expanded assistance for credit card, automobile, mortgage, small business, personal and commercial lending customers, and future governmental actions may require these and other types of customer-related responses. In addition, we have reduced our common stock dividend and temporarily suspended share repurchases, and we could take, or be required to take, other capital actions in the future. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.


Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management evaluated the effectiveness, as of June 30, 2020, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer participated in the evaluation. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and includes those policies and procedures that:
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. No change occurred during second quarter 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Prior to our adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (CECL), on January 1, 2020, provision for credit losses from debt securities was not applicable and is therefore presented as $0 for both the second quarter and first half of 2019. For more information, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to Financial Statements in this Report.
(2)In second quarter 2020, insurance income was reclassified to other noninterest income, personnel-related expenses were combined into a single line item, and expenses for cloud computing services were reclassified from contract services expense (within other noninterest expense) to technology and equipment expense. Prior period balances have been revised to conform with the current period presentation.
(3)In second quarter 2020, diluted earnings per common share equaled earnings per common share because our securities convertible into common shares had an anti-dilutive effect.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Wells Fargo & Company is a diversified financial services company. We provide banking, trust and investments, mortgage banking, investment banking, retail banking, brokerage, and consumer and commercial finance through banking locations, the internet and other distribution channels to consumers, businesses and institutions in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and in foreign countries. When we refer to “Wells Fargo,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us,” we mean Wells Fargo & Company and Subsidiaries (consolidated). Wells Fargo & Company (the Parent) is a financial holding company and a bank holding company. We also hold a majority interest in a real estate investment trust, which has publicly traded preferred stock outstanding.
Our accounting and reporting policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and practices in the financial services industry. For discussion of our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (2019 Form 10-K).
To prepare the financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management must make estimates based on assumptions about future economic and market conditions (for example, unemployment, market liquidity, real estate prices, etc.) that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, income and expenses during the reporting period and the related disclosures. Although our estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could be worse than anticipated in those estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. Management has made significant estimates in several areas, including:
allowance for credit losses (Note 6 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses);
valuations of residential mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) (Note 10 (Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities) and Note 11 (Mortgage Banking Activities));
valuations of financial instruments (Note 15 (Derivatives) and Note 16 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities));
liabilities for contingent litigation losses (Note 14 (Legal Actions)); and
income taxes.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.
These unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q. The results of operations in the interim financial statements do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the full year. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with our 2019 Form 10-K.
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020
In 2020, we adopted the following new accounting guidance:
Accounting Standards Update (ASU or Update) 2020-04 – Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
ASU 2019-04 – Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. This Update includes guidance on recoveries of financial assets, which is included in the discussion for ASU 2016-13 below.
ASU 2018-17 – Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities
ASU 2018-15 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force)
ASU 2018-13 – Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.
ASU 2017-04 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
ASU 2016-13 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and related subsequent Updates

ASU 2020-04 provides optional, temporary relief to ease the burden of accounting for reference rate reform activities that affect contractual modifications of floating rate financial instruments indexed to interbank offering rates (IBORs) and hedge accounting relationships. Modifications of qualifying contracts are accounted for as the continuation of an existing contract rather than as a new contract. Modifications of qualifying hedging relationships will not require discontinuation of the existing hedge accounting relationships. The application of the relief for qualifying existing hedging relationships may be made on a hedge-by-hedge basis and across multiple reporting periods.
We adopted ASU 2020-04 on April 1, 2020, and the guidance will be followed until the Update terminates on December 31, 2022. This guidance is applied on a prospective basis. The Update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements in second quarter 2020.

ASU 2018-17 updates the guidance used by decision-makers of VIEs. Indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements will be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision-makers and service providers are variable interests. This is consistent with how indirect interests held through related parties under common control are considered for determining whether a reporting entity must consolidate a VIE. The Update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-15 clarifies the accounting for implementation costs related to a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract and enhances disclosures around implementation costs for internal-use software and cloud computing arrangements. The guidance aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use

software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). It also requires the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs be presented in the same line item in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element of the arrangement and capitalized implementation costs be presented in the balance sheet in the same line item that a prepayment for the fees of the associated hosting arrangement are presented. The Update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-13 clarifies, eliminates and adds certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities, which affects our disclosures in Note 16 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities). Although the ASU became effective on January 1, 2020, it permitted early adoption of individual requirements without causing others to be early adopted and, as such, we partially adopted the Update during third quarter 2018 and the remainder of the requirements in first quarter 2020. The Update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2017-04 simplifies the goodwill impairment test by eliminating the requirement to assign the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The Update requires that a goodwill impairment loss is recognized if the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, including goodwill. The goodwill impairment loss is limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The guidance did not change the qualitative assessment of goodwill. This guidance is applied on a prospective basis, and accordingly, the Update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-13 changes the accounting for the measurement of credit losses on loans and debt securities. For loans and held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities, the Update requires a current expected credit loss (CECL) measurement to estimate the allowance for credit losses (ACL) for the remaining contractual term, adjusted for prepayments, of the financial asset (including off-balance sheet credit exposures) using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Also, the Update eliminates the existing guidance for purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans, but requires an allowance for purchased financial assets with more than an insignificant deterioration of credit since origination. In addition, the Update modifies the other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) model for available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities to require an allowance for credit impairment instead of a direct write-down, which allows for reversal of credit impairments in future periods based on improvements in credit. Upon adoption, we recognized an overall decrease in our ACL of approximately $1.3 billion (pre-tax) as a cumulative effect adjustment from a change in accounting policies, which increased our retained earnings and regulatory capital amounts and ratios. Loans previously classified as PCI were automatically transitioned to purchased credit-deteriorated (PCD) classification. We recognized an ACL for these new PCD loans and made a corresponding adjustment to the loan balance, with no impact to net income or transition adjustment to retained earnings. For more information on the impact of CECL by type of financial asset, see Table 1.1 below.

The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not result in a change to accounting policies, except as noted herein. Our accounting policy for the ACL was updated and is now inclusive of loans, debt securities and other financing receivables. Other than the ACL and the elimination of PCI loans, there were no changes to accounting policies for loans as described in the 2019 Form 10-K. For debt securities, other than the policies with respect to the ACL, all of the current accounting policies, including those that changed as a
result of CECL adoption, are included below under Debt Securities.
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Debt Securities
Our investments in debt securities that are not held for trading purposes are classified as either debt securities available-for-sale (AFS) or held-to-maturity (HTM).
Investments in debt securities for which the Company does not have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as AFS. AFS debt securities are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in cumulative other comprehensive income (OCI), net of the allowance for credit losses and applicable income taxes. Investments in debt securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as HTM. HTM debt securities are measured at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses.

INTEREST INCOME AND GAIN/LOSS RECOGNITIONUnamortized premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income over the contractual life of the security using the effective interest method, except for purchased callable debt securities carried at a premium. For purchased callable debt securities carried at a premium, the premium is amortized into interest income to the earliest call date using the effective interest method. As principal repayments are received on securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities (MBS)), a proportionate amount of the related premium or discount is recognized in income so that the effective interest rate on the remaining portion of the security continues unchanged.
We recognize realized gains and losses on the sale of debt securities in net gains (losses) on debt securities within noninterest income using the specific identification method.
IMPAIRMENT AND CREDIT LOSSES Unrealized losses of AFS debt securities are driven by a number of factors, including changes in interest rates and credit spreads which impact most types of debt securities with additional considerations for certain types of debt securities:
Debt securities of U.S. Treasury and federal agencies, including federal agency MBS, are not impacted by credit movements given the explicit or implicit guarantees provided by the U.S. government.
Debt securities of U.S. states and political subdivisions are most impacted by changes in the relationship between municipal and term funding credit curves rather than by changes in the credit quality of the underlying securities.
Structured securities, such as MBS and collateralized loan obligations (CLO), are also impacted by changes in projected collateral losses of assets underlying the security.

For debt securities where fair value is less than amortized cost basis, we recognize impairment in earnings if we have the intent to sell the security or if it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Impairment is recognized equal to the entire difference between the amortized cost basis and the fair value of the security and is classified as net gains (losses) from debt securities within noninterest income. Following the recognition of impairment, the security’s new amortized cost basis is the previous basis less impairment.
For debt securities where fair value is less than amortized cost basis where we did not recognize impairment in earnings, we set up an allowance for credit losses as of the balance sheet date. See “Allowance for Credit Losses” section in this Note.

TRANSFERS BETWEEN CATEGORIES OF DEBT SECURITIES AFS debt securities transferred to the HTM classification are recorded at fair value and the unrealized gains or losses resulting from the transfer of these securities continue to be reported in cumulative
OCI. The cumulative OCI balance is amortized into earnings over the same period as the unamortized premiums and discounts using the effective interest method. Any allowance for credit losses previously recorded under the AFS model on securities transferred to HTM is reversed and an allowance for credit losses is subsequently recorded under the HTM debt security model.

NONACCRUAL AND PAST DUE, AND CHARGE-OFF POLICIES We generally place debt securities on nonaccrual status using factors similar to those described for loans. When we place a debt security on nonaccrual status, we reverse the accrued unpaid interest receivable against interest income and suspend the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. If the ultimate collectability of the principal is in doubt on a nonaccrual debt security, any cash collected is first applied to reduce the security’s amortized cost basis to zero, followed by recovery of amounts previously charged off, and subsequently to interest income. Generally, we return a debt security to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current under the contractual terms of the security and collectability of remaining principal and interest is no longer doubtful.
Our debt securities are considered past due when contractually required principal or interest payments have not been made on the due dates.
Our charge-off policy for debt securities are similar to those described for loans. Subsequent to charge-off, the debt security will be designated as nonaccrual and follow the process described above for any cash received.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The ACL is management’s estimate of the current expected credit losses in the loan portfolio and unfunded credit commitments, at the balance sheet date, excluding loans and unfunded credit commitments carried at fair value or held for sale. Additionally, we maintain an ACL on AFS and HTM debt securities, other financing receivables measured at amortized cost, and other off-balance sheet credit exposures. While we attribute portions of the allowance to specific financial asset classes (loan and debt security portfolios), loan portfolio segments (commercial and consumer) or major security type, the entire ACL is available to absorb credit losses of the Company.
Our ACL process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique risk characteristics of our financial asset classes, portfolio segments, and major security types. For each loan portfolio segment and each major HTM debt security type, losses are estimated collectively for groups of loans or securities with similar risk characteristics. For loans and securities that do not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets, the losses are estimated individually, which primarily includes our impaired large commercial loans and non-accruing HTM debt securities. For AFS debt securities, losses are estimated at the tax-lot level.
Our ACL amounts are influenced by a variety of factors, including changes in loan and debt security volumes, portfolio credit quality, and general economic conditions. General economic conditions are forecasted using economic variables which will create volatility as those variables change over time. See Table 1.2 for key economic variables used for our loan portfolios.

• Unemployment rate
Other consumer (including credit card, automobile, and other revolving credit and installment)• Unemployment rate


Our approach for estimating expected life-time credit losses for loans and debt securities includes the following key components:
An initial loss forecast period of one year for all portfolio segments and classes of financing receivables and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. This period reflects management’s expectation of losses based on forward-looking economic scenarios over that time.
A historical loss forecast period covering the remaining contractual term, adjusted for expected prepayments and certain expected extensions, renewals, or modifications, by portfolio segment and class of financing receivables based on the changes in key historical economic variables during representative historical expansionary and recessionary periods.
A reversion period of up to two years to connect the losses estimated for our initial loss forecast period to the period of our historical loss forecast based on economic conditions at the measurement date. Our reversion methodology considers the type of portfolio, point in the credit cycle, expected length of recessions and recoveries, as well as other relevant factors.
Utilization of discounted cash flow (DCF) methods to measure credit impairment for loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring, unless they are collateral dependent and measured at the fair value of the collateral. The DCF methods obtain estimated life-time credit losses using the initial and historical mean loss forecast periods described above.
For AFS debt securities and certain beneficial interests classified as HTM, we utilize the DCF methods to measure the ACL, which incorporate expected credit losses using the conceptual components described above. The ACL on AFS debt securities is subject to a limitation based on the fair value of the debt securities (fair value floor).

The ACL for financial assets held at amortized cost and AFS debt securities will be reversible with immediate recognition of recovery in earnings if credit improves. The ACL for financial assets held at amortized cost is a valuation account that is deducted from, or added to, the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected, which can include a negative allowance limited to the cumulative amounts previously charged off. For financial assets with an ACL estimated using DCF methods, changes in the ACL due to the passage of time are recorded in interest income. The ACL for AFS debt securities reflects the amount of unrealized loss related to expected credit losses, limited by the amount that fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, and cannot have an associated negative allowance.
For certain financial assets, such as residential real estate loans guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), an agency of the federal government, U. S. Treasury and Agency mortgage backed debt securities, as well as certain sovereign debt securities, the Company has not
recognized an ACL as our expectation of nonpayment of the amortized cost basis, based on historical losses, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts, is zero.
A financial asset is collateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale or operation of the collateral. When a collateral-dependent financial asset is probable of foreclosure, we will measure the ACL based on the fair value of the collateral. If we intend to sell the underlying collateral, we will measure the ACL based on the collateral’s net realizable value (fair value of collateral, less estimated costs to sell). In most situations, based on our charge-off policies, we will immediately write-down the financial asset to the fair value of the collateral or net realizable value. For consumer loans, collateral-dependent financial assets may have collateral in the form of residential real estate, automobiles or other personal assets. For commercial loans, collateral-dependent financial assets may have collateral in the form of commercial real estate or other business assets.
We do not generally record an ACL for accrued interest receivables because uncollectible accrued interest is reversed through interest income in a timely manner in line with our non-accrual and past due policies for loans and debt securities. For consumer credit card and certain consumer lines of credit, we include an ACL for accrued interest and fees since these loans are not placed on nonaccrual status and written off until the loan is 180 days past due. Accrued interest receivables are included in other assets, except for certain revolving loans, such as credit card loans.

COMMERCIAL LOAN PORTFOLIO SEGMENT ACL METHODOLOGYGenerally, commercial loans, which include net investments in lease financing, are assessed for estimated losses by grading each loan using various risk factors as identified through periodic reviews. Our estimation approach for the commercial portfolio reflects the estimated probability of default in accordance with the borrower’s financial strength and the severity of loss in the event of default, considering the quality of any underlying collateral. Probability of default and severity at the time of default are statistically derived through historical observations of default and losses after default within each credit risk rating. These estimates are adjusted as appropriate based on additional analysis of long-term average loss experience compared with previously forecasted losses, external loss data or other risks identified from current economic conditions and credit quality trends. The estimated probability of default and severity at the time of default are applied to loan equivalent exposures to estimate losses for unfunded credit commitments.

CONSUMER LOAN PORTFOLIO SEGMENT ACL METHODOLOGYFor consumer loans, we determine the allowance at the individual loan level. When developing historical loss experience, we pool loans, generally by product types with similar risk characteristics, such as residential real estate mortgages and credit cards. As
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

appropriate and to achieve greater accuracy, we may further stratify selected portfolios by sub-product, origination channel, vintage, loss type, geographic location and other predictive characteristics. We use pooled loan data such as historic delinquency and default and loss severity in the development of our consumer loan models, in addition to home price trends, unemployment trends, and other economic variables that may influence the frequency and severity of losses in the consumer portfolio.

AFS PORTFOLIO ACL METHODOLOGY We develop our ACL estimate for AFS debt securities by utilizing a security-level multi-scenario, probability-weighted discounted cash flow model based on a combination of past events, current conditions, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts. The projected cash flows are discounted at the security’s effective interest rate, except for certain variable rate securities which are discounted using projections of future changes in interest rates, prepayable securities which are adjusted for estimated prepayments, and securities part of a fair value hedge which use hedge-adjusted assumptions. The ACL on an AFS debt security is limited to the difference between its amortized cost basis and fair value (fair value floor) and reversals of the allowance are permitted up to the amount previously recorded.
HTM PORTFOLIO ACL METHODOLOGY For most HTM debt securities, the ACL is measured using an expected loss model, similar to the methodology used for loans. Unlike AFS debt securities, the ACL on an HTM debt security is not limited to the fair value floor.
Certain beneficial interests categorized as HTM debt securities utilize a similar discounted cash flow model as described for AFS debt securities, without the limitation of the fair value floor.

OTHER QUALITATIVE FACTORSThe ACL includes amounts for qualitative factors which may not be adequately reflected in our loss models. These amounts represent management’s judgment of risks in the processes and assumptions used in establishing the ACL. Generally, these amounts are established at a granular level below our loan portfolio segments. We also consider economic environmental factors, modeling assumptions and performance, process risk, and other subjective factors, including industry trends and emerging risk assessments.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET CREDIT EXPOSURES Our off-balance sheet credit exposures include unfunded loan commitments (generally in the form of revolving lines of credit), financial guarantees not accounted for as insurance contracts or derivatives, including standby letters of credit, and other similar instruments. For off-balance sheet credit exposures, we recognize an ACL associated with the unfunded amounts. We do not recognize an ACL for commitments that are unconditionally cancelable at our discretion. Additionally, we recognize an ACL for financial guarantees that create off-balance sheet credit exposure, such as loans sold with credit recourse and factoring guarantees. ACL for off-balance sheet credit exposures are reported as a liability in accrued expenses and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS Other financial assets are evaluated for expected credit losses. These other financial assets include accounts receivable for fees, receivables from government-sponsored entities, such as Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation (FHLMC), and GNMA, and other accounts receivable from high-credit quality counterparties, such as central clearing counterparties. Many of these financial assets are generally not expected to have an ACL as there is a zero loss expectation (for example, government guarantee) or no historical credit losses. Some financial assets, such as loans to employees, maintain an ACL that is presented on a net basis with the related amortized cost amounts in other assets on our consolidated balance sheet. Given the nature of these financial assets, provision for credit losses is not recognized separately from the regular income or expense associated with these financial assets.
Securities purchased under resale agreements are generally over-collateralized by securities or cash and are generally short-term in nature. We have elected the practical expedient for these financial assets given collateral maintenance provisions. These provisions require that we monitor the collateral value and customers are required to replenish collateral, if needed. Accordingly, we generally do not maintain an ACL for these financial assets.

PURCHASED CREDIT DETERIORATED FINANCIAL ASSETSFinancial assets acquired that are of poor credit quality and with more than an insignificant evidence of credit deterioration since their origination or issuance are PCD assets. PCD assets are recorded at their purchase price plus an ACL estimated at the time of acquisition. Under this approach, there is no provision for credit losses recognized at acquisition; rather, there is a gross-up of the purchase price of the financial asset for the estimate of expected credit losses and a corresponding ACL recorded. Changes in estimates of expected credit losses after acquisition are recognized as provision for credit losses (or reversal of provision for credit losses) in subsequent periods. In general, interest income recognition for PCD financial assets is consistent with interest income recognition for the similar non-PCD financial asset.

Troubled Debt Restructuring and Other Relief Related to COVID-19
On March 25, 2020, the U.S. Senate approved the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) providing optional, temporary relief from accounting for certain loan modifications as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). Under the CARES Act, TDR relief is available to banks for loan modifications related to the adverse effects of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) (COVID-related modifications) granted to borrowers that are current as of December 31, 2019. TDR relief applies to COVID-related modifications made from March 1, 2020, until the earlier of December 31, 2020, or 60 days following the termination of the national emergency declared by the President of the United States. In first quarter 2020, we elected to apply the TDR relief provided by the CARES Act.
On April 7, 2020, federal banking regulators issued the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised) (the Interagency Statement). The guidance in the Interagency Statement provides additional TDR relief as it clarifies that it is not necessary to consider the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition of a borrower in connection with a short-term (e.g., six months or less) COVID-related modification provided the borrower is current at the date the modification program is implemented.
For COVID-related modifications in the form of payment deferrals, delinquency status will not advance and loans that were accruing at the time the relief is provided will generally not be placed on nonaccrual status during the deferral period. COVID-

related modifications that do not meet the provisions of the CARES Act or the Interagency Statement will be assessed for TDR classification.
On April 10, 2020, the FASB Staff issued Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, a question and answer guide. The guide provided an election for leases accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases, that were modified due to COVID-19 and met certain criteria in order to not require a new lease classification test upon modification. In second quarter 2020, we elected to apply the lease modification relief provided by the guide.

Share Repurchases
During the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, we repurchased shares of our common stock under Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plans. On March 15, 2020, we, along with the other members of the Financial Services Forum, suspended our share repurchase activities for the remainder of the first quarter and for second quarter 2020. On June 25, 2020, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB) announced that it was prohibiting large bank holding companies (BHCs) subject to the FRB’s capital
plan rule, including Wells Fargo, from making any capital distribution (excluding any capital distribution arising from the issuance of a capital instrument eligible for inclusion in the numerator of a regulatory capital ratio), unless otherwise approved by the FRB. Through the end of third quarter 2020, the FRB is authorizing each BHC to (i) make share repurchases relating to issuances of common stock related to employee stock ownership plans; (ii) provided that the BHC does not increase the amount of its common stock dividends, pay common stock dividends that do not exceed an amount equal to the average of the BHC’s net income for the four preceding calendar quarters, unless otherwise specified by the FRB; and (iii) make scheduled payments on additional tier 1 and tier 2 capital instruments. These provisions may be extended by the FRB quarter-by-quarter. For more information about share repurchases, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our 2019 Form 10-K.

There were 0 acquisitions during the first half of 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we had 0 pending acquisitions.



Note 3:Cash, Loan and Dividend Restrictions
Cash and cash equivalents may be restricted as to usage or withdrawal. Federal Reserve Board (FRB) regulations require that each of our subsidiary banks maintain reserve balances on deposit with the Federal Reserve Banks. Table 3.1 provides a summary of restrictions on cash equivalents in addition to the FRB reserve cash balance requirements.

Effective March 26, 2020, the FRB reduced reserve requirement ratios to 0%. The amount for December 31, 2019 represents an average for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Federal laws and regulations limit the dividends that a national bank may pay. Our national bank subsidiaries could have declared additional dividends of $1.0 billion at June 30, 2020, without obtaining prior regulatory approval. We have elected to retain higher capital at our national bank subsidiaries in order to meet internal capital policy minimums and regulatory requirements. Our nonbank subsidiaries are also limited by certain federal and state statutory provisions and regulations covering the amount of dividends that may be paid in any given year. In addition, under a Support Agreement dated June 28, 2017, as amended and restated on June 26, 2019, among Wells Fargo & Company, the parent holding company (the “Parent”), WFC Holdings, LLC, an intermediate holding company and subsidiary of the Parent (the “IHC”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC, and certain other direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Parent designated as material entities for resolution planning purposes or identified as related support entities in our resolution plan, the IHC may be restricted from making dividend payments to the Parent if certain liquidity and/or capital metrics fall below defined triggers or if the Parent’s board of directors authorizes it to file a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Based on retained earnings at June 30, 2020, our nonbank subsidiaries could have declared additional dividends of $26.5 billion at June 30, 2020, without obtaining prior regulatory approval. For additional information see Note 3 (Cash, Loan and Dividend Restrictions) in our 2019 Form 10-K.
The FRB’s Capital Plan Rule (codified at 12 CFR 225.8 of Regulation Y) establishes capital planning and other requirements that govern capital distributions including dividends by certain large bank holding companies. The FRB has also published guidance regarding its supervisory expectations for capital planning, including capital policies regarding the process relating to common stock dividend and repurchase decisions in the FRB’s SR Letter 15-18. The Parent’s ability to make certain capital distributions is subject to review by the FRB as part of the Parent’s capital plan in connection with the FRB’s annual Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR). Once the FRB’s stress capital buffer requirement becomes effective on October 1, 2020, the Parent’s ability to take certain capital actions will be subject to the Parent meeting or exceeding certain regulatory capital minimums, which include the stress capital buffer established by the FRB as part of the FRB’s annual supervisory stress test and related CCAR.
On July 28, 2020, the Company reduced its third quarter 2020 common stock dividend to $0.10 per share.
On June 25, 2020, the FRBannounced that it is requiring large BHCs, including Wells Fargo, to update and resubmit their capital plans within 45 days after the FRB provides updated scenarios. Requiring resubmission will prohibit each BHC from making any capital distribution (excluding any capital distribution arising from the issuance of a capital instrument eligible for inclusion in the numerator of a regulatory capital ratio), unless otherwise approved by the FRB. Through the end of third quarter 2020, the FRB is authorizing each BHC to (i) make share repurchases relating to issuances of common stock related to employee stock ownership plans; (ii) provided that the BHC does not increase the amount of its common stock dividends, pay common stock dividends that do not exceed an amount equal to the average of the BHC’s net income for the four preceding calendar quarters, unless otherwise specified by the FRB; and (iii) make scheduled payments on additional tier 1 and tier 2 capital instruments. These provisions may be extended by the FRB quarter-by-quarter.

Note 5:  Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities
Table 5.1 provides the amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses, and fair value by major categories of available-for-sale debt securities, which are carried at fair value, and held-to-maturity debt securities, which are carried at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses. The net unrealized gains (losses) for available-for-sale debt securities are reported as a component of cumulative OCI, net of the allowance for credit losses and applicable income taxes. Information on debt securities held for trading is included in Note 4 (Trading Activities).
Outstanding balances exclude accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities which are included in other assets. During the first half of 2020, we reversed accrued interest receivable on our available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities by reversing interest income of $6 million. See Note 9 (Other Assets) for additional information on accrued interest receivable.

Credit Quality
We monitor credit quality of debt securities by evaluating various attributes and utilize such information in our evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses. The credit quality indicators that we most closely monitor include credit ratings and delinquency status and are based on information as of our financial statement date.

CREDIT RATINGS Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a debt security. We determine the credit rating of a security according to the lowest credit rating made available by national recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSRO). Debt securities rated investment grade, that is those with ratings
similar to BBB-/Baa3 or above, as defined by NRSRO, are generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be low credit risk. Conversely, debt securities rated
below investment grade, labeled as “speculative grade” by the rating agencies, are considered to be distinctively higher credit risk than investment grade debt securities.
For debt securities not rated by the NRSRO, we determine an internal credit grade of the debt securities (used for credit risk management purposes) equivalent to the credit ratings assigned by major credit agencies. The fair value of available-for-sale debt securities categorized as investment grade based on internal credit grades was $1.3 billion at June 30, 2020, and $2.2 billion at December 31, 2019. Held-to-maturity debt securities
Note 5: Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities (continued)

categorized as investment grade based on internal credit grades are not significant. If an internal credit grade was not assigned, we categorized the debt security as non-investment grade.
Table 5.4 shows the percentage of fair value of available-for-sale debt securities and amortized cost of held-to-maturity debt
securities determined by those rated investment grade, inclusive of those based on internal credit grades.

DELINQUENCY STATUS AND NONACCRUAL DEBT SECURITIES Debt security issuers that are delinquent in payment of amounts due under contractual debt agreements have a higher probability of recognition of credit losses. As such, as part of our monitoring of the credit quality of the debt security portfolio, we consider whether debt securities we own are past due in payment of principal or interest payments and whether any securities have been placed into nonaccrual status.
We had 0 debt securities that were past due and still accruing at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. The fair value of available-for-sale debt securities in nonaccrual status was $153 million and $110 million as of June 30, 2020, and
December 31, 2019, respectively. There were 0 held-to-maturity debt securities in nonaccrual status as of June 30, 2020, or December 31, 2019. Purchased debt securities with credit deterioration (PCD) are not considered to be in nonaccrual status, as payments from issuers of these securities remain current.
Table 5.5 presents detail of available-for-sale debt securities purchased with credit deterioration during the period. There were 0 available-for-sale debt securities purchased with credit deterioration during second quarter 2020. There were 0 held-to-maturity debt securities purchased with credit deterioration during the second quarter and first half of 2020. The amounts presented are as of the date of the PCD assets were purchased.

Unrealized Losses of Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
Table 5.6 shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of available-for-sale debt securities by length of time those individual securities in each category have been in a continuous loss position. Debt securities on which we have recorded credit impairment are categorized as being “less than 12 months” or
“12 months or more” in a continuous loss position based on the point in time that the fair value declined to below the (1) for the current period presented, amortized cost basis net of allowance for credit losses, or the (2) for the prior period presented, amortized cost basis.

We have assessed each debt security with gross unrealized losses included in the previous table for credit impairment. As part of that assessment we evaluated and concluded that we do not intend to sell any of the debt securities, and that it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell, prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis. We evaluate, where necessary, whether credit impairment exists by comparing the present value of the expected cash flows to the debt securities’ amortized cost basis. In prior periods, credit impairment was recorded as a write-down to the amortized cost basis of the security. In the current period, credit impairment is recorded as an allowance for credit losses.
For descriptions of the factors we consider when analyzing debt securities for impairment as well as methodology and significant inputs used to measure credit losses, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).

Prior to our adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, the allowance for credit losses related to available-for-sale and held-to-maturity debt securities was not applicable and is therefore presented as $0 at December 31, 2019. For more information, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).
(2)Represents the impact of adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020. For more information, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).
(3)Certain debt securities with an allowance for credit losses calculated by discounting expected cash flows using the securities’ effective interest rate over its remaining life, recognize changes in the allowance for credit losses attributable to the passage of time as interest income.
(4)
The allowance for credit losses for debt securities largely relates to corporate debt securities as of June 30, 2020.


Contractual Maturities
Table 5.8 shows the remaining contractual maturities, amortized cost net of allowance for credit losses, fair value and weighted-average effective yields of available-for-sale debt securities. The remaining contractual principal maturities for MBS do not consider prepayments. Remaining expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations before the underlying mortgages mature.

Note 6: Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses 
Table 6.1 presents total loans outstanding by portfolio segment and class of financing receivable. Outstanding balances include unearned income, net deferred loan fees or costs, and unamortized discounts and premiums. These amounts were less than 1% of our total loans outstanding at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019.
Outstanding balances exclude accrued interest receivable on loans, except for certain revolving loans, such as credit card loans.
During the first half of 2020, we reversed accrued interest receivable by reversing interest income of $21 million for our commercial portfolio segment and $114 million for our consumer portfolio segment. See Note 9 (Other Assets) for additional information on accrued interest receivable.

Loan Purchases, Sales, and Transfers
Table 6.3 summarizes the proceeds paid or received for purchases and sales of loans and transfers from loans held for investment to mortgages/loans held for sale. The table excludes loans for which we have elected the fair value option and government insured/guaranteed real estate 1-4 family first mortgage loans because
their loan activity normally does not impact the ACL. In the first half of 2020, we sold $1.2 billion of 1-4 family first mortgage loans for a gain of $724 million, which is included in other noninterest income on our consolidated income statement. These whole loans were designated as MLHFS in 2019.

Commitments to Lend
A commitment to lend is a legally binding agreement to lend funds to a customer, usually at a stated interest rate, if funded, and for specific purposes and time periods. We generally require a fee to extend such commitments. Certain commitments are subject to loan agreements with covenants regarding the financial performance of the customer or borrowing base formulas on an ongoing basis that must be met before we are required to fund the commitment. We may reduce or cancel consumer commitments, including home equity lines and credit card lines, in accordance with the contracts and applicable law.
We may, as a representative for other lenders, advance funds or provide for the issuance of letters of credit under syndicated loan or letter of credit agreements. Any advances are generally repaid in less than a week and would normally require default of both the customer and another lender to expose us to loss. The unfunded amount of these temporary advance arrangements totaled approximately $77.8 billion at June 30, 2020.
We issue commercial letters of credit to assist customers in purchasing goods or services, typically for international trade. At June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had $922.6 million and $862 million, respectively, of outstanding issued commercial letters of credit. We also originate multipurpose lending commitments under which borrowers have the option to draw on the facility for different purposes in one of several forms, including a standby letter of credit. See Note 13 (Guarantees, Pledged Assets and Collateral, and Other Commitments) for additional information on standby letters of credit. 
When we make commitments, we are exposed to credit risk. The maximum credit risk for these commitments will generally be lower than the contractual amount because a significant portion of these commitments are not funded. We manage the potential risk in commitments to lend by limiting the total amount of commitments, both by individual customer and in total, by monitoring the size and maturity structure of these commitments and by applying the same credit standards for these commitments as for all of our credit activities.
For loans and commitments to lend, we generally require collateral or a guarantee. We may require various types of collateral, including commercial and consumer real estate, automobiles, other short-term liquid assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and long-lived assets, such as equipment and other business assets. Collateral requirements for each loan or commitment may vary based on the loan product and our assessment of a customer’s credit risk according to the specific credit underwriting, including credit terms and structure.
The contractual amount of our unfunded credit commitments, including unissued standby and commercial letters of credit, is summarized by portfolio segment and class of financing receivable in Table 6.4. The table excludes the issued standby and commercial letters of credit and temporary advance arrangements described above.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans
Table 6.5 presents the allowance for credit losses(ACL) for loans, which consists of the allowance for loan losses and the allowance
for unfunded credit commitments. On January 1, 2020, we adopted CECL. Additional information on our adoption of CECL is included in Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies). In second quarter 2020,The ACL for loans increased $8.4decreased $3.3 billion driven by
from December 31, 2020, due to improvements in current and forecasted economic conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These expected impacts were most significantly affected by anticipated changes to economic variables, as well as higher expected losses in the commercial real estate and consumer real estate mortgage loan portfolios and expected impacts of lower oil prices and deteriorating credit trends on the oil and gas portfolio.conditions.

Credit Quality
We monitor credit quality by evaluating various attributes and utilize such information in our evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowanceACL for credit losses.loans. The following sections provide the credit quality indicators we most closely monitor. The credit quality indicators are generally based on information as of our financial statement date, with the exception of updated Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) scores and updated loan-to-value (LTV)/combined LTV (CLTV). We obtain FICO scores at loan origination and the scores are generally updated at least quarterly, except in limited circumstances, including compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Generally, the LTV and CLTV indicators are updated in the second month of each quarter, with updates no older than March 31, 2020. Amounts disclosed in the credit quality tables that follow are not comparative between reported periods due to our adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020. For more information, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).

COMMERCIAL CREDIT QUALITY INDICATORSWe manage a consistent process for assessing commercial loan credit quality. Generally, commercial
Commercial loans are generally subject to individual risk assessment using our internal borrower and collateral quality ratings, which is our primary credit quality indicator. Our ratings are aligned to federal banking regulators’regulatory definitions of pass and criticized categories with the criticized category includingsegmented among special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss categories.

In connection with our adoption of CECL, creditCredit quality information is provided with the year of origination for term loans. Revolving loans may convert to term loans as a result of a contractual provision in the original loan agreement or if modified in a TDR.troubled debt restructuring (TDR).

41% of the adjusted unpaid principal balance for consumer PCI loans had FICO scores less than 680 and 19% where no FICO was available to us at December 31, 2019.
LTV refers to the ratio comparing the loan’s unpaid principal balance to the property’s collateral value. CLTV refers to the combination of first lien mortgage and junior lien mortgage (including unused line amounts for credit line products) ratios. LTVs and CLTVs are updated quarterly using a cascade approach which first uses values provided by automated valuation models (AVMs) for the property. If an AVM is not available, then the
value is estimated using the original appraised value adjusted by the change in Home Price Index (HPI) for the property location. If an HPI is not available, the original appraised value is used. The HPI value is normally the only method considered for high value properties, generally with an original value of $1 million or more, as the AVM values have proven less accurate for these properties.

Note 4: Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses (continued)
Table 6.124.11 shows the most updated LTV and CLTV distribution of the real estate 1-4 familyresidential mortgage – first lien and residential mortgage – junior lien mortgage loan portfolios. We consider the trends in residential real estate markets as we monitor credit risk and establish our allowance for credit losses.ACL. In the event of a default, any loss should be
limited to the portion of the loan amount in excess of the net realizable value of the underlying real estate collateral value. Certain loans do not have an LTV or CLTV due to industry data availability and portfolios acquired from or serviced by other institutions.

written off. Payment
deferral activities instituted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic maycould continue to delay the recognition of delinquencies for customers who otherwise would have moved into nonaccrual status.

LOANS IN PROCESS OF FORECLOSUREOur recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in process of foreclosure was $2.5 billion$939 million and $3.5$2.1 billion at June 30, 2020,2021, and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, which included $2.0 billion$650 million and $2.8$1.7 billion, respectively, of loans that are government insured/guaranteed. Under the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau guidelines, we do not commence the foreclosure process on real estate 1-4 familyresidential mortgage loans until after the loan is 120 days delinquent. Foreclosure procedures and timelines vary depending on whether the property address resides in a judicial or non-judicial state. Judicial states require the foreclosure to be processed through the state’s courts while non-judicial states are processed without court intervention. Foreclosure timelines vary according to state law. In connection with our actions to support customers during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have suspended certain mortgage foreclosure activities.

Note 6: Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses (continued)


IMPAIRED LOANS In connection with our adoption of CECL, we no longer provide information on impaired loans. We have retained impaired loans information for the period ended December 31, 2019. Table 6.15 summarizes key information for impaired loans. Our impaired loans at December 31, 2019, predominantly included loans on nonaccrual status in the commercial portfolio segment and loans modified in a TDR, whether on accrual or nonaccrual status. Impaired loans generally had estimated losses which are included in the allowance for credit losses. We did have impaired loans with no allowance for credit losses when the loss
content has been previously recognized through charge-offs, such as collateral dependent loans, or when loans are currently performing in accordance with their terms and no loss has been estimated. Impaired loans excluded PCI loans and loans that had been fully charged off or otherwise had zero recorded investment.
Table 6.15 included trial modifications that totaled $115 million at December 31, 2019.
For additional information on our legacy impaired loans and allowance for credit losses, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Included the recorded investment of $1.2 billion at December 31, 2019 of government insured/guaranteed loans that are predominantly insured by the FHA or guaranteed by the VA and generally do not have an ACL. Impaired loans may also have limited, if any, ACL when the recorded investment of the loan approximates estimated net realizable value as a result of charge-offs prior to a TDR modification.

Table 6.16 provides the average recorded investment in impaired loans and the amount of interest income recognized on impaired loans by portfolio segment and class.

TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS (TDRs) When, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, we grant a concession for other than an insignificant period of time to a borrower that we would not otherwise consider, the related loan is classified as a TDR, the balance of which totaled $12.0$12.5 billion and $11.8$14.5 billion at June 30, 2020,2021, and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. We do not consider loan resolutions such as foreclosure or short sale to be a TDR. In addition, COVID-related modifications are generally not classified as TDRs due to the relief under the CARES Act and the Interagency Statement. For moreadditional information on the TDR relief, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies). in our 2020 Form 10-K.
We may require some consumer borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to make trial payments generally for a period of three to four months, according to the terms of a planned permanent modification, to determine if they can perform according to those terms. These arrangements represent trial modifications, which we classify and account for as TDRs. While loans are in trial payment programs, their original terms are not considered modified and they continue to advance through delinquency status and accrue interest according to their original terms.
Commitments to lend additional funds on loans whose terms have been modified in a TDR amounted to $442$344 million and $500$489 million at June 30, 2020,2021, and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.

Note 6: Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses (continued)


Table 6.174.14 summarizes our TDR modifications for the periods presented by primary modification type and includes the financial effects of these modifications. For those loans that modify more than once, the table reflects each modification that
occurred during the period. Loans that both modify and payare paid off or written-off within the period, as well as changes in recorded investment during the period for loans modified in prior periods, are not included in the table.

Amounts represent the recorded investment in loans after recognizing the effects of the TDR, if any. TDRs may have multiple types of concessions, but are presented only once in the first modification type based on the order presented in the table above. The reported amounts include loans remodified of Wells Fargo & Company$221 million and $323 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $484 million and $683 million for the first half of 2020 and 2019, respectively.
93
(2)Principal modifications include principal forgiveness at the time of the modification, contingent principal forgiveness granted over the life of the loan based on borrower performance, and principal that has been legally separated and deferred to the end of the loan, with a zero percent contractual interest rate.
(3)Other concessions include loans discharged in bankruptcy, loan renewals, term extensions and other interest and noninterest adjustments, but exclude modifications that also forgive principal and/or reduce the contractual interest rate.
(4)
Charge-offs include write-downs of the investment in the loan in the period it is contractually modified. The amount of charge-off will differ from the modification terms if the loan has been charged down prior to the modification based on our policies. In addition, there may be cases where we have a charge-off/down with no legal principal modification. Modifications resulted in deferring or legally forgiving principal (actual or contingent) of $3 million and $3 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $32 million and $6 million for the first half of 2020 and 2019, respectively.


(5)Reflects the effect of reduced interest rates on loans with an interest rate concession as one of its concession types, which includes loans reported as a principal primary modification type that also have an interest rate concession.
(6)Trial modifications are granted a delay in payments due under the original terms during the trial payment period. However, these loans continue to advance through delinquency status and accrue interest according to their original terms. Any subsequent permanent modification generally includes interest rate related concessions; however, the exact concession type and resulting financial effect are usually not known until the loan is permanently modified. Trial modifications for the period are presented net of previously reported trial modifications that became permanent in the current period.

Equity Securities Not Held for Trading
We also hold equity securities unrelated to trading activities. These securities include private equity and tax credit investments, securities held as economic hedges or to meet regulatory requirements (for example, Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock).

Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Investments
We invest in affordable housing projects that qualify for the LIHTC,low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC), which are designed to promote private development of low-income housing. These investments typically generate a return mostly through the realization of federal tax creditcredits and other tax benefits. InTable 6.2 summarizes the second quarteramortization of the investments and first half of 2020, we recognized pre-tax losses of $340 millionthe related tax credits and $679 million, respectively, related to our LIHTC investments, compared with $298 million and $571 million, respectively, for the same periods a year ago. These losses wereother tax benefits that are recognized in other noninterestincome tax expense/(benefit) on our consolidated statement of income. We also recognized total tax benefits of $401 million and $799 million in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, which included tax credits recorded to income taxes of $317 million and $631 million for the same periods, respectively. In the second quarter and first half of 2019, total tax benefits were $376 million and $746 million, respectively, which included tax credits of $303 million and $605 million for the same periods, respectively. We are
periodically required to provide additional financial support during the investment period. A liability is recognized for unfunded commitments that are both legally binding and probable of funding. These commitments are predominantly funded within three years of initial investment. Our liability for these unfunded commitments was $4.2 billion at both June 30, 2020,2021, and $4.3 billion at December 31, 2019.2020. This liability for unfunded commitments is included in long-term debt.

Note 10:8: Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities
Involvement with Special PurposeVariable Interest Entities (SPEs)(VIEs)
In the normal course of business, we enter into various types of on- and off-balance sheet transactions with SPEs,special purpose entities (SPEs), which are corporations, trusts, limited liability companies or partnerships that are established for a limited purpose. For further description
SPEs are often formed in connection with securitization transactions whereby financial assets are transferred to an SPE. SPEs formed in connection with securitization transactions are generally considered variable interest entities (VIEs). The VIE may alter the risk profile of the asset by entering into derivative transactions or obtaining credit support, and issues various forms of interests in those assets to investors. When we transfer financial assets from our involvementconsolidated balance sheet to a VIE in connection with SPEs, see Note 10 (Securitizationsa securitization, we typically receive cash and Variable Interest Entities)sometimes other interests in our 2019 Form 10-K.
Table 10.1 provides the classifications ofVIE as proceeds for the assets we transfer. In certain transactions with VIEs, we may retain the right to service the transferred assets and liabilities inrepurchase the transferred assets if the outstanding balance of the assets falls below the level at which the cost to service the assets exceed the benefits. In addition, we may purchase the right to service loans transferred to a VIE by a third party.
In connection with our balance sheet for our transactions with VIEs.

Transactions with Unconsolidated VIEs
Our transactions with unconsolidated VIEs include predominantly securitizations of residential and commercial mortgage loans, and investments in tax credit structures. Wesecuritization or other VIE activities, we have various forms of ongoing involvement with VIEs, including servicing, which may include:
underwriting securities issued by VIEs and subsequently making markets in those securities;
providing credit enhancement on securities issued by VIEs through the use of letters of credit or financial guarantees;
entering into other derivative contracts with VIEs;
holding senior or
subordinated interests and entering into liquidity arrangements and derivative contracts. Involvements with these unconsolidated VIEs are recorded on our balance sheet in debt and equity securities, loans, MSRs, derivative assets and liabilities, other assets, other liabilities, and long-term debt, as appropriate.
Note 10: Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities (VIEs;continued)

Table 10.2 provides a summary of our exposure to unconsolidated VIEs with which we have significant continuing involvement but for which we are not the primary beneficiary.
We include transactions where we were the sponsor or servicer and also have other significant forms of continuing involvement. Sponsorship includes transactions where we solely or materially participated in the initial design or structuring of the VIE or marketed the transaction to investors. We consider investments in securities, loans, guarantees, liquidity agreements, commitments and certain derivatives to be other forms of
continuing involvement that may be significant. We also include transactions where we transferred assets to a VIE, account for the transfer as a sale, and service the VIE collateral or have other forms of continuing involvement that may be significant (as described above). We exclude certain transactions with unconsolidated VIEs when our continuing involvement is temporary in nature or insignificant in size. We also exclude secured borrowing transactions with unconsolidated VIEs (for information on these transactions, see the Transactions with Consolidated VIEs and Secured Borrowings section in this Note).

Includes total equity interests of $11.4 billion at both June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019. Also includes debt interests in the form of both loans and securities. Excludes certain debt securities held related to loans serviced for FNMA, FHLMC and GNMA.

(2)
Carrying values include assets and related liabilities of $42 million and $556 million at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to certain unexercised unconditional repurchase options. These amounts represent the carrying value of the loans and associated debt that would be payable if the option was exercised to repurchase eligible loans from GNMA residential and multifamily loan securitizations. These amounts are excluded from maximum exposure to loss as we are not obligated to exercise the options.
In Table 10.2, “Total VIE assets” represents the remaining principal balance of assets held by unconsolidated VIEs using the most current information available. For VIEs that obtain exposure to assets synthetically through derivative instruments, the notional amount of the derivative is included in the asset balance.
“Carrying value” is the amount in our consolidated balance sheet related to our involvement with the unconsolidated VIEs. “Maximum exposure to loss” is determined as the carrying value of our investment in the VIEs excluding the unconditional repurchase options that have not been exercised, plus the

remaining undrawn liquidity and lending commitments, the notional amount of net written derivative contracts, and generally the notional amount of, or stressed loss estimate for, other commitments and guarantees. It represents estimated loss that would be incurred under severe, hypothetical circumstances, for which we believe the possibility is extremely remote, such as where the value of our interests and any associated collateral declines to zero, without any consideration of recovery or offset from any economic hedges. Accordingly, this disclosure is not an indication of expected loss.
For complete descriptions of our transactions with unconsolidated VIEs with which we have a significant continuing involvement, but we are not the primary beneficiary, see Note 10 (Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities) in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Loan Sales and Securitization Activity
We periodically transfer consumer and commercial loans and other types of financial assets in securitization and whole loan sale transactions.

MORTGAGE LOANS SOLD TO U.S. GOVERNMENT SPONSORED ENTITIES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH GINNIE MAE In the normal course of business we sell originated and purchased residential and commercial mortgage loans to government-sponsored entities (GSEs). These loans are generally transferred into securitizations sponsored by the GSEs, which provide certain credit guarantees to investors and servicers. We also transfer mortgage loans into securitizations pursuant to Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) guidelines which are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Mortgage loans eligible for securitization with the GSEs or GNMA are considered conforming loans. The GSEs or GNMA design the structure of these securitizations, sponsor the involved VIEs, and have power over the activities most significant to the VIE.
We account for loans transferred in conforming mortgage loan securitization transactions as sales and do not consolidate the VIEs as we are not the primary beneficiary. In exchange for the transfer of loans, we typically receive securities issued by the VIEs which we sell to third parties for cash or hold for investment purposes as HTM or AFS securities. We also retain servicing rights on the transferred loans. As a servicer, we retain the option
to repurchase loans from GNMA loan securitization pools, which becomes exercisable when three scheduled loan payments remain unpaid by the borrower. We repurchased loans of $1.0 billion and $2.9 billion, during the second quarter and first half of 2021, respectively, and $3.6 billion and $5.1 billion during the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, which predominantly represented repurchases of government insured loans. We recorded assets and related liabilities of $128 million and $176 million at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively, where we did not exercise our option to repurchase eligible loans.
Upon transfers of loans, we also provide indemnification for losses incurred due to material breaches of contractual representations and warranties, as well as other recourse arrangements. At June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, our liability associated with these provisions was $201 million and $221 million, respectively, and the maximum exposure to loss was $13.4 billion and $13.7 billion, respectively.
Off-balance sheet mortgage loans sold or securitized presented in Table 8.5 are predominantly loans securitized by the GSEs and GNMA. See Note 9 (Mortgage Banking Activities) for additional information about residential and commercial servicing rights, advances and servicing fees. Substantially all residential servicing activity is related to assets transferred to GSE and GNMA securitizations.

NONCONFORMING MORTGAGE LOAN SECURITIZATIONS In the normal course of business, we sell nonconforming residential and commercial mortgage loans in securitization transactions that we design and sponsor. Nonconforming mortgage loan securitizations do not involve a government credit guarantee, and accordingly, beneficial interest holders are subject to credit risk of the underlying assets held by the securitization VIE. We typically originate the transferred loans, account for the transfers as sales and do not consolidate the VIE. We also typically retain the servicing rights from these salesright to service the loans and may continue to hold other beneficial interests in
issued by the VIEs, such as debt securities held for investment purposes. Our servicing role related to nonconforming commercial mortgage loan securitizations is limited to primary or master servicer and the most significant decisions impacting the performance of the VIE are generally made by the special servicer or the controlling class security holder. For our residential nonconforming mortgage loan securitizations accounted for as sales, we either do not hold variable interests that we consider potentially significant or are not the primary servicer for a majority of the VIE assets.

WHOLE LOAN SALE TRANSACTIONS We may also provide liquiditysell whole loans to investorsVIEs where we have continuing involvement in the beneficial interests and credit enhancements. Throughform of financing. We account for these transfers as sales, and do not consolidate the VIEs as we may be exposeddo not have the power to liability under limited amountsdirect the most significant activities of recourse as well as standard representations and warranties we make to purchasers and issuers.the VIEs.

Table 10.38.1 presents information about transfers of assets during the period to unconsolidated VIEs or third-party investors for which we recorded the transfers as sales and have continuing involvement with the transferred assets. In connection with these transfers, we received proceeds and recorded servicing assets, securities, and a liability for repurchase losses which reflects management’s estimate of probable losses related to various representations and warranties for the loans transferred. Each of these interests are initially measured at fair value. Servicing rights are classified as Level 3 measurements, and generally securities are initially classified as Level 2.
Sales with continuing involvement include securitizations of conforming residential mortgages that are sold to the government-sponsored entities (GSEs) or GNMA.loans. Substantially all transfers were related to these entitiesresidential mortgage securitizations with the GSEs or GNMA and resulted in no gain or loss because the loans were already measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Each of these interests are initially measured at fair value.

(1)(1)The prepayment speed assumption for residential MSRs includes a blend of prepayment speeds and default rates. Prepayment speed assumptions are influenced by mortgage interest rate inputs as well as our estimation of drivers of borrower behavior.
(2)Includes costs to service and unreimbursed foreclosure costs, which can vary period to period due to changes in model assumptions and the mix of modified government-guaranteed loans sold to GNMA.
Table 10.5 presents the proceeds related to transfers accounted for as sales in which we have continuing involvement with the transferred financial assets, as well as current period cash flows from continuing involvement with previous transfers accounted for as sales.

SALE OF STUDENT LOAN PORTFOLIO In the second quarter and first half of 2021, we sold $3.9 billion and $9.5 billion of student loans, servicing-released, respectively. For the same periods, we received $4.0 billion and $9.8 billion in proceeds from the sales, respectively, and recognized $147 million and $355 million of gains, respectively, which are included in other noninterest income on our consolidated statement of income. In connection with the sales, we provided $1.6 billion and $3.8 billion of collateralized loan financing to a third-party sponsored VIE in the second quarter and first half of 2021, respectively. The loans are measured at amortized cost and are classified in loans on the consolidated balance sheet. The collateral supporting our loan includes the student loans we sold. We do not consolidate the VIE as we do not have power over the significant activities of the entity.

In our resecuritization transactions, we transfer trading debt securities to VIEs in exchange for new beneficial interests held” were obtained when we securitized residential and commercial mortgage loans.

In addition to residential MSRs included in the previous table, we have a small portfolio of commercial MSRs, which are carried at the lower of cost or fair value (LOCOM), with a fair value of
$1.4 billion and $1.9 billion at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. Prepayment assumptions do not significantly impact values of commercial MSRs and commercial mortgage

bonds as commercial loans generally include contractual restrictions on prepayment. Servicing costs are not a driver of our MSR value as we are typically primary or master servicer; the higher costs of servicing delinquent and foreclosed loans is generally borne by the special servicer. The primary economic driver impacting the fair value of our commercial MSRs is forward interest rates, which are derived from market observable yield curves used to price capital markets instruments. Market interest rates significantly affect interest earned on custodial deposit balances. The sensitivity of the current fair value of our commercial MSRs to a hypothetical immediate adverse 25% change in the assumption about interest earned on deposit balances at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, would result in a decrease in fair value of $94 million and $205 million, respectively. See Note 11 (Mortgage Banking Activities) for further information on our commercial MSRs.

The sensitivities in the preceding paragraph and table are hypothetical and caution should be exercised when relying on this data. Changes in value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in value may not be linear.

without changing any other assumptions. In reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in others (for example, changes in prepayment speed estimates could result in changes in the credit losses), which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.
Off-Balance Sheet Loans
Table 10.78.5 presents information about the principal balances of off-balance sheet loans that were sold or securitized, including residential mortgage loans sold to FNMA, FHLMC,the GSEs, GNMA and other investors, for which we have some form of continuing involvement (including servicer). Delinquent loans include loans 90 days or more past due and loans in bankruptcy, regardless of delinquency status. In accordance with applicable servicing guidelines, delinquency status continues to advance for loans with COVID-related payment deferrals. For loans sold or securitized where servicing is our only form of continuing involvement, we would onlygenerally experience a loss only if we were required to repurchase a delinquent loan or foreclosed asset due to a breach in representations and warranties associated with our loan sale or servicing contracts.

Transactions with Unconsolidated VIEs
MORTGAGE LOAN SECURITIZATIONS Table 8.6 includes nonconforming mortgage loan securitizations where we originate and transfer the loans to the unconsolidated securitization VIEs that we sponsor. For additional information about these VIEs, see the “Loan Sales and Securitization Activity” section within this Note. Nonconforming mortgage loan securitizations also include commercial mortgage loan securitizations sponsored by third parties where we did not originate or transfer the loans but serve as master servicer and invest in securities that could be potentially significant to the VIE.
Conforming loan securitization and resecuritization transactions involving the GSEs and GNMA are excluded from Table 8.6 because we are not the sponsor or we do not have power over the activities most significant to the VIEs. Additionally, due to the nature of the guarantees provided by the GSEs and the FHA and VA, our credit risk associated with these VIEs is limited. For additional information about conforming mortgage loan securitizations and resecuritizations, see the “Loan Sales and Securitization Activity” and "Resecuritization Activities" sections within this Note.

TAX CREDIT STRUCTURESWe co-sponsor and make investments in affordable housing and sustainable energy projects that are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits. The projects are typically managed by project sponsors who have the power over the VIE’s assets. In some instances, our investments in these structures may require that we fund future capital commitments at the discretion of the project sponsors.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS We transfer purchased industrial development bonds and GSE credit enhancements to VIEs in exchange for beneficial interests. We own all of the beneficial interests and may also service the underlying mortgages that serve as collateral to the bonds. Prior to first quarter 2021, we consolidated these VIEs as we controlled the key decisions. During first quarter 2021, we amended the structures such that we no longer control the key decisions of the VIEs. The GSEs have the power to direct the servicing and workout activities of the VIE in the event of a default. As a result, we deconsolidated the VIEs during first quarter 2021, and recognized the beneficial interests at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet.

OTHER VIE STRUCTURESWe engage in various forms of structured finance arrangements with other VIEs, including collateralized debt obligations, asset-backed finance structures and other securitizations collateralized by asset classes other than mortgages. Collateral may include rental properties, asset-backed securities, student loans, mortgage loans and auto loans. We may participate in structuring or marketing the arrangements, as well as provide financing, service one or more of the underlying assets, or enter into derivatives with the VIEs. We may also receive fees for those services. We are not the primary beneficiary of these structures because we do not have power to direct the most significant activities of the VIEs.

Table 8.6 provides a summary of our exposure to the unconsolidated VIEs described above, which includes investments in securities, loans, guarantees, liquidity agreements, commitments and certain derivatives. We exclude certain transactions with unconsolidated VIEs when our continuing involvement is temporary or administrative in nature or insignificant in size.
In Table 8.6, “Total VIE assets” represents the remaining principal balance of assets held by unconsolidated VIEs using the most current information available. For VIEs that obtain exposure to assets synthetically through derivative instruments, the notional amount of the derivative is included in the asset balance. “Carrying value” is the amount in our consolidated balance sheet related to our involvement with the unconsolidated VIEs. “Maximum exposure to loss” is determined as the carrying value of our investment in the VIEs excluding the unconditional repurchase options that have not been exercised, plus the remaining undrawn liquidity and lending commitments, the notional amount of net written derivative contracts, and
generally the notional amount of, or stressed loss estimate for, other commitments and guarantees.
Debt, guarantees and other commitments include amounts related to loans sold that we may be required to repurchase, or otherwise indemnify or reimburse the investor or insurer for losses incurred, due to material breach of contractual representations and warranties as well as other retained recourse arrangements. The maximum exposure to loss for material breach of contractual representations and warranties represents a stressed case estimate we utilize for determining stressed case regulatory capital needs and is considered to be a remote scenario.
“Maximum exposure to loss” represents estimated loss that would be incurred under severe, hypothetical circumstances, for which we believe the possibility is extremely remote, such as where the value of our interests and any associated collateral declines to zero, without any consideration of recovery or offset from any economic hedges. Accordingly, this disclosure is not an indication of expected loss.

Note 8: Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities  (continued)
Consolidated VIEs
We consolidate VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary. We are the primary beneficiary of the following structure types:

COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL LOANS AND LEASES We securitize dealer floor plan loans and Secured Borrowingsleases in a revolving master trust entity and hold the subordinated notes and residual equity interests. As servicer and residual interest holder, we control the key decisions of the trust and consolidate the entity. The total VIE assets held by the master trust represent a majority of the total VIE assets presented for this category in Table 8.7. In a separate transaction structure, we also provide the majority of debt and equity financing to an SPE that engages in lending and leasing to specific vendors and service the underlying collateral.

OTHER VIE STRUCTURESOther VIEs are primarily related to municipal tender option bond (MTOB) transactions and nonconforming mortgage loan securitizations that we sponsor. MTOBs are vehicles to finance the purchase of municipal bonds through the issuance of short-term debt to investors. Our involvement with MTOBs includes serving as the residual interest
holder, which provides control over the key decisions of the VIE, as well as the remarketing agent or liquidity provider related to the debt issued to investors. We also securitize nonconforming mortgage loans, in which our involvement includes servicer of the underlying assets and holder of subordinate or senior securities issued by the VIE.

Table 10.88.7 presents a summary of financial assets and liabilities for asset transfers accounted for as secured borrowingsof our consolidated VIEs. The carrying value represents assets and involvements withliabilities recorded on our consolidated VIEs.balance sheet. Carrying values of “Assets”assets are presented using GAAP measurement methods, which may include fair value, credit impairment or other adjustments, and
therefore in some instances will differ from “Total VIE assets.” For VIEs that obtain exposure synthetically through derivative instruments, the notional amount of the derivative is included in “Total VIE assets.”
On theour consolidated balance sheet, we separately disclose (1) the consolidated assets of certain VIEs that can only be used to settle the liabilities of those VIEs.VIEs, and (2) the consolidated liabilities of certain VIEs for which the VIE creditors do not have recourse to Wells Fargo.

We have raised financing through the securitization of certain financial assets in transactions with VIEs accounted for as secured borrowings. We also consolidate VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary. In certain transactions, we provide contractual support in the form of limited recourse and liquidity to facilitate the remarketing of short-term securities issued to third-party investors. Other than this limited contractual support, the assets of the VIEs are the sole source of repayment of the securities held by third parties.
For complete descriptions of our accounting for transfers accounted for as secured borrowings and involvement with consolidated VIEs, see Note 10 (Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities) in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Other Transactions
In addition to the transactions included in the previous tables, we have used wholly-owned trust preferred security VIEs to issue debt securities or preferred equity exclusively to third-party investors. As the sole assets of the VIEs are receivables from us, we do not consolidate the VIEs even though we own all of the voting equity shares of the VIEs, have fully guaranteed the obligations of the VIEs, and may have the right to redeem the third-party securities under certain circumstances. In our
consolidated balance sheet we reported the debt securities issued to the VIEs as long-term junior subordinated debt with a carrying value of $692$381 million and $2.1 billion$704 million at June 30, 2020,2021, and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively. During firstIn second quarter 2020,2021, we liquidated certain of our trust preferred security VIEs. As part of these liquidations, the preferred securities issued by the trusts were canceled and junior subordinated debentures with a total carrying value of $1.4 billion$332 million were distributed to the preferred security holders. Prior to the liquidations, we held $10 million of these preferred securities, which were exchanged for junior subordinated debentures upon liquidation and subsequently retired with 0 impact to earnings. See Note 1716 (Preferred Stock) for additional information about trust preferred securities.
Certain money market funds are also excluded from the previous tables because they are exempt from the consolidation analysis. We voluntarily waived a portion of our management fees for these money market funds to maintain a minimum level of daily net investment income. The amount of fees waived was $22 million and $33 millioninsignificant in the second quarter and first half of 2020, respectively, compared with $10 millionboth 2021 and $20 million for the same periods a year ago.

Note 11:9:  Mortgage Banking Activities
Mortgage banking activities consist of residential and commercial mortgage originations, sales and servicing.
We apply the amortization method to commercial MSRs and apply the fair value method to residential MSRs. The amortized
cost of commercial MSRs was $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion with an estimated fair value of $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion at June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020, respectively. Table 11.19.1 presents the changes in MSRs measured using the fair value method.

Table 9.2 provides key economic assumptions and sensitivity of the current fair value of residential MSRs to immediate adverse changes in those assumptions. Amounts for residential MSRs include purchased servicing rights as well as servicing
rights resulting from the transfer of loans. See Note 15 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities) for additional information on key economic assumptions for residential MSRs.

The sensitivities in the preceding table are hypothetical and caution should be exercised when relying on this data. Changes in value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in value may not be linear. Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the value of the other interests held is calculated independently without changing any other assumptions. In reality, changes in one factor may
result in changes in others, which might magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

At both June 30, 2020,2021, and December 31, 2019,2020, we had servicer advances, net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts, of $2.1 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively.$3.4 billion. As the servicer of loans for others, we advance certain payments of principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and default-related expenses which are generally reimbursed within a short timeframe from cash flows from the trust, GSEs, insurer or borrower. The credit risk related to these advances is limited since the reimbursement is generally senior to cash payments to investors. We also advance payments of taxes
and insurance for our owned loans which are collectible from the borrower. We
maintain an allowance for uncollectible amounts for advances on loans serviced for others that may not be reimbursed if the payments were not made in accordance with applicable servicing agreements or if the insurance or servicing agreements contain limitations on reimbursements. Servicing advances on owned loans are charged-off when deemed uncollectible.

Note 13:11:  Guarantees Pledged Assets and Collateral, and Other Commitments
Guarantees are contracts that contingently require us to make payments to a guaranteed party based on an event or a change in an underlying asset, liability, rate or index. Guarantees are generally in the form of standby and direct pay letters of credit,
written options, recourse obligations, and other types of similar
arrangements. For complete descriptions of our guarantees, see Note 16 (Guarantees, Pledged Assets and Collateral, and Other Commitments) in our 2019 Form 10-K. Table 13.111.1 shows carrying value, maximum exposure to loss on our guarantees and the related non-investment grade amounts.

“Maximum exposure to loss” and “Non-investment grade” are required disclosures under GAAP. Maximum exposure to loss represents the estimated loss that would be incurred under an assumed hypothetical circumstance, despite what we believe is a remote possibility, where the value of our interests and any associated collateral declines to zero. Maximum exposure to loss estimates in Table 13.111.1 do not reflect economic hedges or collateral we could use to offset or recover losses we may incur under our guarantee agreements. Accordingly, this required disclosure is not an indication of expected loss. We believe the carrying value is more representative of our exposure to loss than maximum exposure to loss. The carrying value represents the fair value of the guarantee, if any, and also includes an ACL for guarantees, if applicable.
Non-investment grade represents those guarantees on which we have a higher risk of performance under the terms of the guarantee. If the underlying assets under the guarantee are non-investment grade (that is, an external rating that is below investment grade or an internal credit default grade that is equivalent to a below investment grade external rating), we consider the risk of performance to be high. Internal credit default grades are determined based upon the same credit policies that we use to evaluate the risk of payment or performance when making loans and other extensions of credit. Credit quality indicators we usually consider in evaluating risk of
payments or performance are described in Note 64 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses).

MERCHANT PROCESSING SERVICES We provide debit and credit card transaction processing services through the payment networks directly for merchants and as a sponsor for merchant processing servicers, including our joint venture with a third party that is accounted for as an equity method investment. In our role as the merchant acquiring bank, we have a potential obligation forin connection with payment and delivery disputes between the merchant and the cardholder that are resolved in favor of the cardholder. If we are unable to collect the amounts from the merchant, we incur a loss for the refund to the cardholder. We are secondarily obligated to make a refund for transactions involving the sponsored merchant processing servicers. We generally have a low likelihood of loss sincein connection with our merchant processing services because most products and services are delivered when purchased and amounts are generally refunded when items are returned to the merchant. In addition, we may reduce our risk in connection with these transactions by withholding future payments and requiring cash or other collateral. For the first half of 2020,2021, we processed card transaction volume of $608.3$790.2 billion as a merchant acquiring bank, and related losses, including those from our joint venture entity, were immaterial.

GUARANTEES OF SUBSIDIARIES In the normal course of business, the Parent may provide counterparties with guarantees related to its subsidiaries’ obligations. These obligations are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or are reflected as off-balance sheet commitments, and therefore, the Parent has not recognized a separate liability for these guarantees.
The Parent fully and unconditionally guarantees the payment of principal, interest, and any other amounts that may be due on securities that its 100% owned finance subsidiary, Wells Fargo Finance LLC, may issue. These securities are not guaranteed by any other subsidiary of the Parent. The guaranteed liabilities were $2.4$1.6 billion and $1.6$2.3 billion at June 30, 20202021, and December 31,
Note 13: Guarantees, Pledged Assets and Collateral, and Other Commitments (continued)

2019, 2020, respectively. These guarantees rank on parity with all of the Parent’s other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The assets of the Parent consist primarily of equity in its subsidiaries, and the Parent is a separate and distinct legal entity from its subsidiaries. As a result, the Parent’s ability to address claims of holders of these debt securities against the Parent under the guarantee depends on the Parent’s receipt of dividends, loan payments and other funds from its subsidiaries. If any of the Parent’s subsidiaries becomes insolvent, the direct creditors of that subsidiary will have a prior claim on that subsidiary’s assets. The rights of the Parent and the rights of the Parent’s creditors will be subject to that prior claim unless the Parent is also a direct creditor of that subsidiary. For additional information regarding other restrictions on the Parent’s ability to receive dividends, loan payments and other funds from its subsidiaries, see Note 23 (Regulatory Capital Requirements and Other Restrictions).

OTHER COMMITMENTS To meet the financing needs of our customers, we may enter into commitments to purchase debt and equity securities to provide capital for their funding, liquidity or other future needs. As of both June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, we had commitments to purchase debt securities of $18 million and commitments to purchase equity securities of $3.2 billion.
As part of maintaining our memberships in certain clearing organizations, we are required to stand ready to provide liquidity to sustain market clearing activity in the event unforeseen events occur or are deemed likely to occur. Certain of these obligations are guarantees of other members’ performance and accordingly are included in Table 11.1 in Other guarantees and indemnifications.
Also, we have commitments to purchase loans and securities under resale agreements from certain counterparties, including central clearing organizations. The amount of our unfunded contractual commitments was $12.9 billion and $12.0 billion as of June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Given the nature of these commitments, they are excluded from Table 4.4 (Unfunded Credit Commitments) in Note 4 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses).

Note 12:  Pledged Assets and Collateral
Pledged Assets
Table 13.212.1 provides the carrying amount of on-balance sheet pledged assets and the fair value of other pledged collateral. Other pledged collateral is collateral we have received from third parties, have the right to repledge and is not recognized on our consolidated balance sheet.

TRADING RELATED ACTIVITYOur trading businesses may pledge debt and equity securities in connection with securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements) and securities lending arrangements. The collateral that we pledge related to our trading activities may include our own collateral as well as collateral that we have received from third parties and have the right to repledge. All of the collateral we pledge related to trading activity pledged collateral is eligible to be repledged or sold by the secured party.

NON-TRADING RELATED ACTIVITY As part of our liquidity management strategy, we may pledge loans, debt securities, and
other financial assets to secure trust and public deposits, borrowings and letters of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and FRBthe Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB) and for other purposes as required or permitted by law or insurance statutory requirements. Substantially all of the non-trading activity pledged collateral is not eligible to be repledged or sold by the secured party.

VIE RELATED We pledge assets in connection with various types of transactions entered into with VIEs. These pledged assets can only be used to settle the liabilities of those entities.
We also have loans recorded on our consolidated balance sheet which represent certain delinquent loans that are eligible for repurchase from GNMA loan securitizations. See Note 108 (Securitizations and Variable Interest Entities) for additional information on consolidated VIE assets and VIEs accounted for as secured borrowings.assets.

Securities Financing Activities
We enter into resale and repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and lending agreements (collectively, “securities financing activities”) typically to finance trading positions (including securities and derivatives), acquire securities to cover short trading positions, accommodate customers’ financing needs, and settle other securities obligations. These activities are conducted through our broker-dealer subsidiaries and, to a lesser extent, through other bank entities. Our securities financing activities primarily involve high quality,high-quality, liquid securities such as U.S. Treasury securities and government agency securities and, to a lesser extent, less liquid securities, including equity securities, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities. We account for these transactions as collateralized financings in which we typically receive or pledge securities as collateral. We believe these financing transactions generally do not have material credit risk given the collateral provided and the related monitoring processes.

OFFSETTING OF SECURITIES FINANCING ACTIVITIES Table 13.312.2 presents resale and repurchase agreements subject to master repurchase agreements (MRA) and securities borrowing and lending agreements subject to master securities lending agreements (MSLA). Collateralized financings, and those with a single counterparty, are presented net on our consolidated balance sheet, provided certain criteria are met that permit balance sheet netting. MostSubstantially all transactions subject to these agreements do not meet those criteria and thus are not eligible for balance sheet netting.
Collateral we pledged consists of non-cash instruments, such as securities or loans, and is not netted on the consolidated balance sheet against the related liability. Collateral we received includes securities or loans and is not recognized on our consolidated balance sheet. Collateral pledged or received may be increased or decreased over time to maintain certain contractual thresholds, as the assets underlying each arrangement fluctuate in value. Generally, these agreements require collateral to exceed the asset or liability recognized on
110Wells Fargo & Company


the balance sheet. The following table includes the amount of collateral pledged or received related to exposures subject to enforceable MRAs or MSLAs. While these agreements

are typically over-collateralized, U.S. GAAP requires disclosure in this table to limit the reported amount of such collateral to the
amount of the related recognized asset or liability for each counterparty.
In addition to the amounts included in Table 13.3,12.2, we also have balance sheet netting related to derivatives that is disclosed in Note 1514 (Derivatives).

REPURCHASE AND SECURITIES LENDING AGREEMENTS Securities sold under repurchase agreements and securities lending arrangements are effectively short-term collateralized borrowings. In these transactions, we receive cash in exchange for transferring securities as collateral and recognize an obligation to reacquire the securities for cash at the transaction’s maturity. These types of transactions create risks, including (1) the counterparty may fail to return the securities at maturity, (2) the fair value of the securities transferred may decline below the amount of our obligation to reacquire the securities, and therefore create an obligation for us to pledge additional amounts, and (3) the counterparty may accelerate the maturity on demand, requiring us to reacquire the security prior to contractual maturity. We attempt to mitigate these risks in various ways. Our collateral primarily consists of highly liquid securities. In addition, we underwrite and monitor the financial strength of our counterparties, monitor the fair value of collateral pledged relative to contractually required repurchase amounts, and monitor that our collateral is properly returned through the clearing and settlement process in advance of our cash repayment. Table 13.412.3 provides the gross amounts recognized on the consolidated balance sheet (before the effects of offsetting) of our liabilities for repurchase and securities lending agreements disaggregated by underlying collateral type.

OTHER COMMITMENTS
To meet the financing needs of our customers, we may enter into commitments to purchase debt and equity securities to provide capital for their funding, liquidity or other future needs. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had commitments to purchase debt securities of $18 million in both periods and commitments to purchase equity securities of $3.3 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively.
As part of maintaining our memberships in certain clearing organizations, we are required to stand ready to provide liquidity to sustain market clearing activity in the event unforeseen events occur or are deemed likely to occur. Certain of these obligations are guarantees of other members’ performance and accordingly are included in Other guarantees and indemnifications in
Table 13.1.
Also, we have commitments to purchase loans and securities under resale agreements from certain counterparties, including central clearing organizations. The amount of our unfunded contractual commitments was $14.1 billion and $7.5 billion as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Given the nature of these commitments, they are excluded from Table 6.4 (Unfunded Credit Commitments) in Note 6 (Loans and Related Allowance for Credit Losses).


Note 14:13:  Legal Actions
Wells Fargo and certain of our subsidiaries are involved in a number of judicial, regulatory, governmental, arbitration, and other proceedings or investigations concerning matters arising from the conduct of our business activities, and many of those proceedings and investigations expose Wells Fargo to potential financial loss. These proceedings and investigations include actions brought against Wells Fargo and/or our subsidiaries with respect to corporate-related matters and transactions in which Wells Fargo and/or our subsidiaries were involved. In addition, Wells Fargo and our subsidiaries may be requested to provide information or otherwise cooperate with government authorities in the conduct of investigations of other persons or industry groups.
Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome, Wells Fargo and/or our subsidiaries have generally denied, or believe we have a meritorious defense and will deny, liability in all significant legal actions pending against us, including the matters described below, and we intend to defend vigorously each case, other than matters we describe as having settled. We establish accruals for legal actions when potential losses associated with the actions become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. For such accruals, we record the amount we consider to be the best estimate within a range of potential losses that are both probable and estimable; however, if we cannot determine a best estimate, then we record the low end of the range of those potential losses. The actual costs of resolving legal actions may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued for those actions.
ATM ACCESS FEE LITIGATIONIn October 2011, plaintiffs filed a putative class action, Mackmin, et al. v. Visa, Inc. et al., against Wells Fargo & Company, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Visa, MasterCard, and several other banks in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Plaintiffs allege that the Visa and MasterCard requirement that if an ATM operator charges an access fee on Visa and MasterCard transactions, then that fee cannot be greater than the access fee charged for transactions on other networks, violates antitrust rules. Plaintiffs seek treble damages, restitution, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees where available under federal and state law. Two other antitrust cases that make similar allegations were filed in the same court, but these cases did not name Wells Fargo as a defendant. On February 13, 2013, the district court granted defendants’ motions to dismiss the 3 actions. Plaintiffs appealed the dismissals and, on August 4, 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the district court’s decisions and remanded the 3 cases to the district court for further proceedings. On June 28, 2016, the United States Supreme Court granted defendants’ petitions for writ of certiorari to review the decisions of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. On November 17, 2016, the United States Supreme Court dismissed the petitions as improvidently granted, and the 3 cases returned to the district court for further proceedings.

AUTOMOBILE LENDING MATTERS On April 20, 2018, the Company entered into consent orders with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to resolve, among other things, investigations by
the agencies into the Company’s compliance risk management program and its past practices involving certain automobile collateral protection insurance (CPI) policies and certain mortgage interest rate lock extensions. The consent orders require remediation to customers and the payment of a total of $1.0 billion in civil money penalties to the agencies. In July 2017, the Company announced a plan to remediate customers who may have been financially harmed due to issues related to automobile CPI policies purchased through a third-party vendor on their behalf. Multiple putative class action casesactions alleging, among other things, unfair and deceptive practices relating to these CPI policies, have beenwere filed against the Company and consolidated into 1 multi-district litigation in the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

The settlement amount is not incremental to the Company’s remediation obligations under the consent orders, but instead encompasses those obligations, including remediation payments to date. The settlement amount is subject to change as the Company finalizes its remediation activity under the consent orders. In addition, the Company has agreed to contribute $1 million to a common fund for the class. The district court granted final approval of the settlement on November 21, 2019. A putative class of shareholderslitigation. Shareholders also filed a putative securities fraud class action against the Company and its executive officers alleging material misstatements and omissions of CPI-related information in the Company’s public disclosures. In January 2020, the court dismissed this action as to all defendants except the Company and a former executive officer and limited the action to two alleged misstatements. In addition, the Company is subject to a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Central District of California alleging that customers are entitled to refunds related to the unused portion of guaranteed automobile protection (GAP) waiver or insurance agreements between the customer and dealer and, by assignment, the lender. In June 2021, the court granted preliminary approval of an agreement pursuant to which the Company will pay $45 million and make certain changes to its GAP refund practices in order to settle the action. Allegations related to the CPI and GAP programs are among the subjects of a shareholder derivative lawsuitslawsuit pending in federal and state court inthe United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The court dismissed the state court action in September 2018, but plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in November 2018. The parties to the state court action have entered into an agreement to resolve the action pursuant to which the Company will pay plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and undertake certain business and governance practices. The state court granted final approval of the settlement on January 15, 2020, and a notice of appeal has been filed.

Allegations related to the Company’s efforts to comply with these three consent orders are also among the subjects of a shareholder derivative lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
CONSUMER DEPOSIT ACCOUNT RELATED REGULATORY INVESTIGATIONINVESTIGATIONS The CFPB is conducting an investigation into whether customers were unduly harmed by the Company’s historical practices associated with the freezing (and, in many cases, closing) of consumer deposit accounts after the Company detected suspected fraudulent activity (by third parties or account holders) that affected those accounts.

Previous investigations by other federal government agencies have been resolved.
INTERCHANGE LITIGATION Plaintiffs representing a putative class of merchants have filed putative class actions, and individual merchants have filed individual actions, against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo & Company, Wachovia Bank, N.A., and Wachovia Corporation regarding the interchange fees associated with Visa and MasterCard payment card transactions. Visa, MasterCard, and several other banks and bank holding companies are also named as defendants in these actions. These actions have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The amended and consolidated complaint asserts claims against defendants based on alleged violations of federal and state antitrust laws and seeks damages, as well as injunctive relief. Plaintiff merchants allege that Visa, MasterCard, and payment card issuing banks unlawfully colluded to set interchange rates. Plaintiffs also allege that enforcement of certain Visa and MasterCard rules and alleged tying and bundling of services offered to merchants are anticompetitive. Wells Fargo and Wachovia, along with other defendants and entities, are parties to Loss and Judgment Sharing Agreements, which provide that they, along with other entities, will share, based on a formula, in any losses from the Interchange Litigation. On July 13, 2012,
Visa, MasterCard, and the financial institution defendants, including Wells Fargo, signed a memorandum of understanding with plaintiff merchants to resolve the consolidated class action and reached a separate settlement in principle of the consolidated individual actions. The settlement payments to be made by all defendants in the consolidated class and individual actions totaled approximately $6.6 billion before reductions applicable to certain merchants opting out of the settlement. The class settlement also provided for the distribution to class merchants of 10 basis points of default interchange across all credit rate categories for a period of eight consecutive months. The district court granted final
approval of the settlement, which was appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit by settlement objector merchants. Other merchants opted out of the settlement and are pursuing several individual actions. On June 30, 2016, the Second Circuit vacated the settlement agreement and reversed and remanded the consolidated action to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York for further proceedings. On November 23, 2016, prior class counsel filed a petition to the United States Supreme Court, seeking review of the reversal of the settlement by the Second Circuit, and the Supreme Court denied the petition on March 27, 2017. On November 30, 2016, the district court appointed lead class counsel for a damages class and an equitable relief class. The parties have entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the money damages class claims pursuant to which defendants will pay a total of approximately $6.2 billion, which includes approximately $5.3 billion of funds remaining from the 2012 settlement and $900 million in additional funding. The Company’s allocated responsibility for the additional funding is approximately $94.5 million. The court granted final approval of the settlement on December 13, 2019, which was appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit by settlement objector merchants. Several of the opt-out and direct action litigations have been settled while others remain pending. Discovery is proceeding in the opt-out litigations and the equitable relief class case.
LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDITS Federal government agencies have undertaken formal or informal inquiries or investigations regarding the manner in which the Company purchased, and negotiated the purchase of, certain federal low income housing tax credits in connection with the financing of low income housing developments.
MOBILE DEPOSIT PATENT LITIGATIONMORTGAGE LENDING MATTERS The Company is a defendant in 2 separate cases brought by United Services Automobile Association (USAA) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging claims of patent infringement regarding mobile deposit capture technology patents held by USAA. Trial in the first case commenced on October 30, 2019, and resulted in a $200 million verdict against the Company. Trial in the second case commenced on January 6, 2020, and resulted in a $102.7 million verdict against the Company. The Company has filed post-trial motions to, among other things, vacate the verdicts, and USAA has filed post-trial motions seeking future royalty payments and damages for willful infringement.
MORTGAGE LOAN MODIFICATION LITIGATION Plaintiffs representing a putative class of mortgage borrowers have filed separate putative class actions, Hernandez v. Wells Fargo, et al., Coordes v. Wells Fargo, et al., Ryder v. Wells Fargo, Liguori v. Wells Fargo, and Dore v. Wells Fargo, against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in the United States District Court for the Northern District

of California, the United States District Court for the District of Washington, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, respectively. Plaintiffs allege that Wells Fargo improperly denied mortgage loan modifications or repayment plans to customers in the foreclosure process due to the overstatement of foreclosure attorneys’ fees that were included for purposes of determining whether a customer in the foreclosure process qualified for a mortgage loan modification or repayment plan. The district court in the Hernandez case certified a nationwide breach of contract class for foreclosed borrowers and denied certification on claims pertaining to other impacted borrowers. In March 2020, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which the Company will paypaid $18.5 million to resolve the claims of the initial certified class in the Hernandez case.

NOMURA/NATIXIS MORTGAGE-RELATED LITIGATION In August 2014 and August 2015, Nomura Credit & Capital Inc. (Nomura) and Natixis Real Estate Holdings, LLC (Natixis) filed a total of 7 third-party complaints against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in New York state court. In the underlying first-party actions, Nomura and Natixis have been sued for alleged breaches of representations and warranties made in connection with residential mortgage-backed securities sponsored by them. In the third-party actions, Nomura and Natixis allege that Wells Fargo, as master servicer, primary servicer or securities administrator, failed to notify Nomura and Natixis of their own breaches, failed to properly oversee the primary servicers, and failed to adhere to accepted servicing practices. Natixis additionally alleges that Wells Fargo failed to perform default oversight duties. Wells Fargo has asserted counterclaims alleging that Nomura and Natixis failed to provide Wells Fargo notice of their representation and warranty breaches.
OFAC RELATED INVESTIGATION The Company has self-identified an issue whereby certain foreign banks utilized a Wells Fargo software-based solution to conduct import/export trade-related financing transactions with countries and entities prohibited by
the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the United States Department of the Treasury. We do not believe any funds related to these transactions flowed through accounts at Wells Fargo as a result of the aforementioned conduct. The Company has made voluntary self-disclosures to OFAC and is cooperating with an inquiry from the Department of Justice.
ORDER OF POSTING LITIGATIONPlaintiffs filed a series of putative class actions against Wachovia Bank, N.A., and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as well as many other banks, challenging the “high to low” order in which the banks post debit card transactions to consumer deposit accounts. Most of these actions were consolidated in multi-district litigation proceedings (MDL proceedings) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The court in the MDL proceedings has certified a class of putative plaintiffs, and Wells Fargo moved to compel arbitration of the claims of unnamed class members. The court denied the motions to compel arbitration in October 2016, and Wells Fargo appealed this decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. In May 2018, the Eleventh Circuit ruled in Wells Fargo’s favor and found that Wells Fargo had not waived its arbitration rights and remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings.

RETAIL SALES PRACTICES MATTERS A number of bodies or entities, including (a) federal, state, and local government agencies, including the Department of Justice, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the United States Department of Labor, (b) state attorneys general, including the New York Attorney General, and (c) Congressional committees, have undertaken formal or informal inquiries, investigations, or examinations arising out of certain retail sales practices of the Company that were the subject of settlements with the CFPB, the OCC, and the Office of the Los Angeles City
Attorney announced by the Company on September 8, 2016. These matters are at varying stages. The Company has responded and continues to respond, to requests from certain of the foregoing. In October 2018,As previously disclosed, the Company entered into an agreementagreements to resolve the New York Attorney General’s investigation pursuant to which the Company paid $65 million to the State of New York. In December 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with all 50 state Attorneys General and the District of Columbia to resolve an investigation into the Company’s retail sales practices, CPI and GAP, and mortgage interest rate lock matters, pursuant to which the Company paid $575 million.attorneys general investigations. On February 21, 2020,, the Company entered into an agreement with the Department of Justice to resolve the Department of Justice’s criminal investigation into the Company’s retail sales practices, as well as a separate agreement to resolve the Department of Justice’s civil investigation. As part of the Department of Justice criminal settlement, no charges will be filed against the Company provided the Company abides by all the terms of the agreement. The Department of Justice criminal settlement also includes the Company’s agreement that the facts set forth in the settlement document constitute sufficient facts for the finding of criminal violations of statutes regarding bank records and personal information. On February 21, 2020,, the Company also entered into an order to resolve the SEC’s investigation arising out of the Company’s retail sales practices. The SEC order contains a finding, to which
Note 14: Legal Actions (continued)

the Company consented, that the facts set forth include violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. As part of the resolution of the Department of Justice and SEC investigations, the Company has agreed to makemade payments totaling $3.0 billion. In addition, as part of the settlements and included in the $3.0 billion amount, the Company has agreed to the creation of a $500 million Fair Fund for the benefit of investors who were harmed by the conduct covered in the SEC settlement.
In addition, a number of lawsuits have beenwere filed by non-governmental parties seeking damages or other remedies related to these retail sales practices. First, various class plaintiffs, purporting to represent consumers who allege that they received products or services without their authorization or consent, have brought separate putative class actions againstAs previously disclosed, the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and various other jurisdictions. On June 14, 2018, the district court granted final approval of a settlement entered into by the Company in the first-filed action, Jabbari v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., pursuant to which the Company will pay $142 million to resolve claims regarding certain products or services provided without authorization or consent for the time period May 1, 2002 to April 20, 2017. On July 20, 2020, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the district court's order granting final approval of the settlement. Second, the Company was subject to a consolidated securities fraud class action alleging certain misstatements and omissions in the Company’s disclosures related to sales practices matters. The Company entered into a settlement agreementvarious settlements to resolve this matter pursuant to which the Company paid $480 million. Third, Wells Fargo shareholders have brought numerous shareholder derivative lawsuits asserting breach of fiduciary duty claims against, among others, current and former directors and officers for their alleged involvement with and failure to detect and prevent sales practices issues. These actions are currently pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California and California state court as consolidated or coordinated proceedings. The parties have entered into settlement agreements to resolve the shareholder derivative lawsuits pursuant to which insurance carriers will pay the Company approximately $240 million for alleged damage to the Company, and the Company will pay plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees. The federal court granted final approval of the settlement for its action on April 7, 2020. The state court granted final approval of the settlement for its action on January 15, 2020. Fourth, a purported Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) class action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on behalf of 401(k) plan participants. The district court dismissed the action, and on July 27, 2020, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed the dismissal.these lawsuits.

RMBS TRUSTEE LITIGATION In NovemberDecember 2014, a group of institutional investors (Institutional Investor Plaintiffs), including funds affiliated with BlackRock, Inc.,Phoenix Light SF Limited and certain related entities and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) filed a putative class actioncomplaints in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., alleging claims against the Company in its capacity as trustee for a number of residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) trusts (Federal Court Complaint). Similar complaintstrusts. Complaints raising similar allegations have been filed against other trustees in various courts, includingby Commerzbank AG in the Southern District of New York and by IKB International and IKB Deutsche Industriebank in New York state court, and in other states, by RMBS investors. The Federal Court Complaint allegedcourt. In each case, the plaintiffs allege that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee, caused losses to investors, and assertedplaintiffs assert causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee’s
alleged failure to notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties, notify investors of alleged events of default, and abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Plaintiffs sought money damagesThe Company previously settled 2 class actions with similar allegations that were filed in an unspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses, and equitable relief. In DecemberNovember 2014 and December 2015, certain other2016 by institutional investors filed additional complaints alleging similar claims against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in the Southern District of New York (Related Federal Cases). In January 2016, the Southern District of New York entered an order in connection with the Federal Court Complaint dismissing claims related to certain of the trusts at issue (Dismissed Trusts). The Company’s subsequent motion to dismiss the Federal Court Complaint and the complaints for the Related Federal Cases was granted in part and denied in part in March 2017. In May 2017, the Company filed third-party complaints against certain investment advisors affiliated with the Institutional Investor Plaintiffs seeking contribution with respect to claims alleged in the Federal Court Complaint (Third-Party Claims).
In December 2016, the Institutional Investor Plaintiffs filed a new putative class action complaint in New York state court, in respect of 261 RMBS trusts, including the Dismissed Trusts, for which Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., serves or served as trustee (State Court Action). A complaint raising similar allegations to those in the Federal Court Complaint was filed in May 2016 in New York state court by IKB International and IKB Deutsche Industriebank (IKB Action).
respectively. In July 2017, certain of the plaintiffs from the State Court Action filed a civil complaint relating to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.’s setting aside reserves for legal fees and expenses in connection with the liquidation of 11 RMBS trusts at issue in the State Court Action (Declaratory Judgment Action). The complaint sought, among other relief, declarations thatMarch 2021, the Company is not entitled to indemnification, the advancement of funds, or the taking of reserves from trust funds for legal fees and expenses it incurs in defending the claims in the State Court Action.
In May 2019, the New York state court approved a settlemententered into an agreement among the Institutional Investor Plaintiffs and the Company pursuant to which, among other terms, the Company paid $43 million to resolve the Federal Court Complaint andcase filed by the State Court Action. The settlement also resolved the Third Party Claims and the Declaratory Judgment Action. The settlement did not affect the Related Federal Cases or the IKB Action, which remain pending.NCUA.

SEMINOLE TRIBE TRUSTEE LITIGATION The Seminole Tribe of Florida filed a complaint in Florida state court alleging that Wells Fargo, as trustee, charged excess fees in connection with the administration of a minor’s trust and failed to invest the assets of the trust prudently. The complaint was later amended to include 3 individual current and former beneficiaries as plaintiffs and to remove the Tribe as a party to the case. In December 2016, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on the grounds that the Tribe is a necessary party and that the individual beneficiaries lack standing to bring

Note 13:  Legal Actions (continued)
claims. The motion was denied in June 2018. The case is pending trial.
WHOLESALE BANKING CONSENT ORDER INVESTIGATIONOn November 19, 2015, the Company entered into a consent order with the OCC, pursuant to which the Wholesale Banking group was required to implement customer due diligence standards that include collection of current beneficial ownership information for certain business customers. The Company is responding to

inquiries from various federal government agencies regarding potentially inappropriate conduct in connection with the collection of beneficial ownership information.
OUTLOOK As described above, the Company establishes accruals for legal actions when potential losses associated with the actions become probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The high end of the range of reasonably possible potential losses in excess of the Company’s accrual for probable and estimable losses was approximately $2.3$2.8 billion as of June 30, 2020.2021. The outcomes of legal actions are unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, and it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even possible. It is also inherently difficult to estimate the amount of any loss and there may be matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible but not currently estimable. Accordingly, actual losses may be in excess of the established accrual or the range of reasonably possible loss. Wells Fargo is unable to determine whether the ultimate resolution of the retail sales practices matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, available insurance coverage, and established reserves, Wells Fargo believes that the eventual outcome of otherthe actions against Wells Fargo and/or its subsidiaries will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Wells Fargo’s consolidated financial condition. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of a matter, if unfavorable, may be material to Wells Fargo’s results of operations for any particular period.

Note 15:14:  Derivatives
We use derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, including interest rate risk, credit risk and foreign currency risk, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. We designate certain derivatives as hedging instruments in qualifying hedge accounting relationships (fair value or cash flow hedges). Our remaining derivatives consist of economic hedges that do not qualify for hedge accounting and derivatives held for customer accommodation trading or other purposes. For moreadditional information on our derivative activities, see Note 1816 (Derivatives) in our 20192020 Form 10-K.
Table 15.114.1 presents the total notional or contractual amounts and fair values for our derivatives. Derivative transactions can be measured in terms of the notional amount, but this amount is not recorded on theour consolidated balance sheet and is not, when viewed in isolation, a meaningful measure of the risk profile of the instruments. The notional amount is generally not exchanged, but is used only as the basis on which interest and other payments are determined.

Table 15.214.2 provides information on the gross fair values of derivative assets and liabilities, the balance sheet netting adjustments and the resulting net fair value amount recorded on our consolidated balance sheet, as well as the non-cash collateral associated with such arrangements. We execute substantially all of our derivative transactions under master netting arrangements and reflect all derivative balances and related cash collateral subject to enforceable master netting arrangements on a net basis within the consolidated balance sheet. The “Gross amounts recognized” column in the following table includes $59.6$52.9 billion and $54.7$44.7 billion of gross derivative assets and liabilities, respectively, at June 30, 2020,2021, and $33.7$54.6 billion and $33.5$50.1 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2019,2020, with counterparties subject to enforceable master netting arrangements that are eligible for balance sheet netting adjustments. The majority of these amounts are interest rate contracts executed in over-the-counter (OTC) markets. The remaining gross derivative assets and liabilities of $8.3$8.1 billion and $5.1$5.0 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2020,2021, and $5.6$11.1 billion
and $4.4$8.0 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2019,2020, include those with counterparties subject to master netting arrangements for which we have not assessed the enforceability because they are with counterparties where we do not currently have positions to offset, those subject to master netting arrangements where we have not been able to confirm the enforceability and those not subject to master netting arrangements. As such, we do not net derivative balances or collateral within the consolidated balance sheet for these counterparties. Cash collateral receivables and payables that have not been offset against our derivatives were $1.2$2.6 billion and $1.4 billion,$828 million, respectively, at June 30, 2020,2021, and $6.3$1.8 billion and $1.4 billion,$984 million, respectively, at December 31, 2019.2020.
We determine the balance sheet netting adjustments based on the terms specified within each master netting arrangement. We disclose the balance sheet netting amounts within the column titled “Gross amounts offset in consolidated balance sheet.” Balance sheet netting adjustments are determined at the counterparty level for which there may be multiple contract

Note 14: Derivatives (continued)
types. For disclosure purposes, we allocate these netting adjustments to the contract type for each counterparty proportionally based upon the “Gross amounts recognized” by counterparty. As a result, the net amounts disclosed by contract type may not represent the actual exposure upon settlement of the contracts.
We do not net non-cash collateral that we receive and pledge on theour consolidated balance sheet. For disclosure purposes, we present the fair value of this non-cash collateral in the column titled “Gross amounts not offset in consolidated balance sheet (Disclosure-only netting)” within the table. We determine and allocate the Disclosure-only netting amounts in the same manner as balance sheet netting amounts.
The “Net amounts” column within Table 15.214.2 represents the aggregate of our net exposure to each counterparty after
considering the balance sheet and Disclosure-only netting adjustments. We manage derivative exposure by monitoring the credit risk associated with each counterparty using counterparty specificcounterparty-specific credit risk limits, using master netting arrangements and obtaining collateral. Derivative contracts executed in OTC markets include bilateral contractual arrangements that are not cleared through a central clearing organization but are typically subject to master netting arrangements. OtherThe proportion of these derivative contracts thatrelative to our total derivative assets and liabilities are settled through a central clearing organization whether OTC or exchange-traded, are excluded from that percentage.presented in the “Percent exchanged in over-the-counter market” column in Table 14.2. In addition to the netting amounts included in the table, we also have balance sheet netting related to resale and repurchase agreements that are disclosed within Note 13 (Guarantees, Pledged12 (Pledged Assets and Collateral, and Other Commitments)Collateral).

Represents amounts with counterparties subject to enforceable master netting arrangements that have been offset in the consolidated balance sheet, including related cash collateral and portfolio level counterparty valuation adjustments. Counterparty valuation adjustments related to derivative assets were Wells Fargo & Company$600 million and $231 million and debit valuation adjustments related to derivative liabilities were $229 million and $100 million at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. Cash collateral totaled $7.3 billion and $11.0 billion, netted against derivative assets and liabilities, respectively, at June 30, 2020, and $2.9 billion and $6.8 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2019.


Fair Value and Cash Flow Hedges
For fair value hedges, we use interest rate swaps to convert certain of our fixed-rate long-term debt and time certificates of deposit to floating rates to hedge our exposure to interest rate risk. We also enter into cross-currency swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps and forward contracts to hedge our exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk associated with the issuance of non-U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt. In addition, we use interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps and forward contracts to hedge against changes in fair value of certain investments in available-for-sale debt securities due to changes in interest rates, foreign currency rates, or both. We also use interest rate swaps to hedge against changes in fair value for certain mortgage loans held for sale. For certain fair value hedges of foreign currency risk, changes in fair value of cross-currency swaps attributable to
changes in cross-currency basis spreads are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and recorded in other comprehensive income. See Note 2621 (Other Comprehensive Income) for the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income.
For cash flow hedges, we use interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in interest payments received on certain floating-ratefloating-
rate commercial loans and paid on certain floating-rate debt due to changes in the contractually specified interest rate. We also use cross-currency swaps to hedge variability in interest payments on fixed-rate foreign currency-denominated long-term debt due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
We estimate $203$76 million pre-tax of deferred net losses related to cash flow hedges in OCI at June 30, 2020,2021, will be reclassified into net interest income during the next twelve months. The deferred losses expected to be reclassified into net

interest income are predominantly related to discontinued hedges of floating rate loans. For cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2020,2021, we are hedging our foreign currency exposure to the variability of future cash flows for all forecasted transactions for a maximum of 109 years. For moreadditional information on our accounting
hedges, see Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) and Note 18 (Derivatives) in our 2019 Form 10-K..

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments include economic hedges and derivatives entered into for customer accommodation trading purposes.
We use economic hedge derivativesto manage our exposure to interest rate risk, equity price risk, foreign currency risk, and credit risk. We also use economic hedge derivatives to mitigate the periodic earnings volatility caused by mismatches between the changes in fair value of the hedged item and hedging instrument recognized on our fair value accounting hedges. In second quarter 2020, we entered into arrangements to transition
transition the economic hedges of our deferred compensation plan liabilities from equity securities to derivative instruments. Changes in the fair values of derivatives used to economically hedge the deferred compensation plan are reported in personnel expense.
For moreadditional information on economic hedges and other derivatives, see Note 1814 (Derivatives) to Financial Statements in our 20192020 Form 10-K.
Table 15.614.6 shows the net gains (losses), recognized by income statement lines, related to derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.

Credit Derivatives
Credit derivative contracts are arrangements whose value is derived from the transfer of credit risk of a reference asset or entity from one party (the purchaser of credit protection) to another party (the seller of credit protection). We use credit derivatives to assist customers with their risk management objectives. We may also use credit derivatives in structured product transactions or liquidity agreements written to special purpose vehicles. The maximum exposure of sold credit derivatives is managed through posted collateral, purchased credit derivatives and similar products in order to achieve our desired credit risk profile. This credit risk management provides
an ability to recover a significant portion of any amounts that
would be paid under the sold credit derivatives. We would be
required to perform under the sold credit derivatives in the event of default by the referenced obligors. Events of default include events such as bankruptcy, capital restructuring or lack of principal and/or interest payment. In certain cases, other triggers may exist, such as the credit downgrade of the referenced obligors or the inability of the special purpose vehicle for which we have provided liquidity to obtain funding.
Table 15.714.7 provides details of sold and purchased credit derivatives.

Protection sold represents the estimated maximum exposure to loss that would be incurred under an assumed hypothetical circumstance, where the value of our interests and any associated collateral declines to zero, without any consideration of recovery or offset from any economic hedges. We believe this hypothetical circumstance to be an extremely remote possibility and accordingly, this required disclosure is not an indication of expected loss. The amounts under non-investment grade represent the notional amounts of those credit derivatives on which we have a higher risk of being required to perform under the terms of the credit derivative and are a function of the underlying assets.
We consider the risk of performance to be high if the underlying assets under the credit derivative have an external rating that is below investment grade or an internal credit default grade that is equivalent thereto. We believe the net protection sold, which is representative of the net notional amount of protection sold and purchased with identical underlyings, in combination with other protection purchased, is more representative of our exposure to loss than either non-investment grade or protection sold. Other protection purchased represents additional protection, which may offset the exposure to loss for protection sold, that was not purchased with an identical underlying of the protection sold.

Note 15: Derivatives (continued)

Credit-Risk Contingent Features
Certain of our derivative contracts contain provisions whereby if the credit rating of our debt were to be downgraded by certain major credit rating agencies, the counterparty could demand additional collateral or require termination or replacement of derivative instruments in a net liability position. Table 15.814.8 illustrates our exposure to such derivativesOTC bilateral derivative contracts with credit-risk contingent features, collateral we have posted, and the additional collateral we would be required to post if the credit rating of our debt was downgraded below investment grade.

Note 16:15:  Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, such as derivatives, residential MSRs, and trading or AFS debt securities, are presented in Table 16.215.1 in this Note. FromAdditionally, from time to time, we may be required to record fair value adjustments on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of LOCOMlower of cost or fair value (LOCOM) accounting, write-downs of individual assets or application of the measurement alternative for nonmarketable equity securities. Assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are presented in Table 16.1315.4 in this Note.
We provide in Table 16.19 includes15.8 estimates of fair value for financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value.value, such as loans and debt liabilities carried at amortized cost.
See Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our 20192020 Form 10-K for discussion of how we determine fair value. For descriptions of the valuation methodologies we use for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis, and for estimating fair value for financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value, see Note 1917 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities) in our 20192020 Form 10-K.

FAIR VALUE HIERARCHY We classify our assets and liabilities measuredrecorded at fair value as either Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The highest priority (Level 1) is assigned to valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority (Level 3) is assigned to valuations based on significant unobservable inputs. See Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) in our 20192020 Form 10-K for a detailed description of the fair value hierarchy.
In the determination of the classification of financial instruments in Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, we consider all available information, including observable market data, indications of market liquidity and orderliness, and our understanding of the valuation techniques and significant inputs used. For securities in inactive markets, we use a predetermined percentage to evaluate the impact of fair value adjustments
derived from weighting both external and internal indications of value to determine if the instrumentThis determination is classified as Level 2 or Level 3. Otherwise, the classification of Level 2 or Level 3 isultimately based upon the specific facts and circumstances of each instrument or instrument category and judgments are made regarding the significance of the Level 3unobservable inputs to the instruments’ fair value measurement in its entirety. If Level 3unobservable inputs are considered significant, the instrument is classified as Level 3.
We do not classify nonmarketable equity securities in the fair value hierarchy if we use the non-published net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) that has been communicated to us as an investor as a practical expedient to measure fair value. We generally use NAV per share as the fair value measurement for certain nonmarketable equity fund investments. Marketable equity securities with published NAVs are classified in the fair value hierarchy.
Fair Value Measurements from Vendors
For certain assets and liabilities, we obtain fair value measurements from vendors and we record the fair value in our financial statements. For additional information, see Note 19 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities) in our 2019 Form 10-K.
Table 16.1 presents fair value measurements obtained from third-party pricing services classified within the fair value hierarchy. Fair value measurements obtained from brokers and fair value measurements obtained from third-party pricing services that we have adjusted using internal models or non-vendor data to determine the fair value are excluded from
Table 16.1.
The unadjusted fair value measurements obtained from brokers for available-for-sale debt securities were $19 million in Level 2 assets and $123 million in Level 3 assets at June 30, 2020, and $45 million and $126 million at December 31, 2019, respectively.

Note 16:15: Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities (continued)(continued)


Changes in Fair Value Levels
We monitor the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy and transfer between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 accordingly. Observable market data includes but is not limited to quoted prices and market transactions. Changes in economic conditions or market liquidity generally will drive changes in availability of observable market data. Changes in availability of observable market data, which also may result in
changing the valuation technique used, are generally the cause of transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. The amounts reported as transfers represent the fair value as of the beginning of the quarter in which the transfer occurred.
The changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, are presented in Table 16.3.

Table 16.11 and Table 16.12 provide15.3 provides quantitative information about the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of substantially all of our Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for which we use an internal model.basis.
The significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets and liabilities inherent in the fair values obtained from third-party vendors are not included in the table, as the specific inputs applied are not
provided by the vendor.
In addition, the table excludes the valuation techniquesvendor (for additional information on vendor-developed valuations, see Note 17 (Fair Values of Assets and significant unobservable inputs for certain classes of Level 3 assets and liabilities measured using internal models that we consider, both individually andLiabilities) in the aggregate, insignificant relative to our overall Level 3 assets and liabilities. We made this determination based upon an evaluation of each class, which considered the magnitude of the positions, nature of the unobservable inputs and potential for significant changes in fair value due to changes in those inputs.2020 Form 10-K).
Weighted averages of inputs are calculated using outstanding unpaid principal balance for cash instruments, such as loans and securities, and notional amounts for derivative instruments.
For information on how changes in significant unobservable inputs affect the fair values of Level 3 assets and liabilities, see Note 19 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities) in our 2019 Form 10-K.

Note 16: Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities (continued)


Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
We may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of LOCOM accounting, write-downs of individual
assets, or useapplication of the measurement alternative for nonmarketable equity securities.
Table 16.1315.4 provides the fair value hierarchy and fair value at the date of the nonrecurring fair value adjustment for all assets
that were still held as of June 30, 2020,2021, and December 31, 2019,2020, and for which a nonrecurring fair value adjustment was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, and year ended December 31, 2019.2020.
Table 16.1415.5 presents the increase (decrease) in value of certain assets held at the end of the respective reporting periods presented for which a nonrecurring fair value adjustment was recognized during the periods presented.

Table 16.1515.6 provides quantitative information about the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of our Level 3 assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis primarilyand determined using an internal model. The table is limited to financial instruments that had nonrecurring fair value adjustments during the periods presented. Weighted averages of inputs are calculated using outstanding unpaid principal balance for cash instruments, such as loans, and carrying value prior to the nonrecurring fair value measurement for nonmarketable equity securities.

We have excluded from the table valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs for certain classes of Level 3
assets we consider both individually and in the aggregate, insignificant relative to our overall Level 3 nonrecurring measurements. We made this determination based upon an evaluation of each class that considered the magnitude of the positions, nature of the unobservable inputs and potential for significant changes in fair value due to changes in those inputs.

(4)Includes the fair valueimpact on prepayment rate of our nonmarketableexpected defaults for government insured/guaranteed loans, which impact the frequency and timing of early resolution of loans.
(5)Includes $417 million of private equity and venture capital investments in consolidated portfolio companies. The market approach basescompanies classified in other assets on the fair value measurement on market data (for example, use of market comparable pricing techniques) that are used to derive the enterprise value of the portfolio company. Market comparable pricing techniques include utilization of financial metrics of comparable public companies (multiples), such as ratios of enterprise value or market value of equity to revenue, EBITDA, net income or book value. Comparable company valuation multiples are evaluated and adjusted as necessary to reflect the comparative operational, financial or marketability differences between the public company and subject portfolio company in estimating its fair value. Market comparable pricing

techniques also use recent or anticipated transactions (for example, a financing round, merger, acquisition or bankruptcy) involving the subject portfolio company, or participants in its industry or related industries. Based upon these recent or anticipated transactions, current market conditions and other factors specific to the issuer, we make adjustments to estimate the enterprise value of the portfolio company. As a result of the recent market environment, we also utilized other valuation techniques. These techniques included the use of company risk factors in the estimation of the fair value of certain nonmarketable equity securities. The company risk factors are based upon entity-specific considerations including the debt and liquidity profile, projected cash flow or funding issues as well as other factors that may affect the company’s outlook.

Note 16: Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities (continued)


Fair Value Option
The fair value option is an irrevocable election, generally only permitted upon initial recognition of financial assets or liabilities, to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. We may elect the fair value option to align the measurement model with how the financial assets or liabilities are managed or to reduce complexity
or accounting asymmetry. Following is a discussion of the portfolios for which we elected the fair value option. For moreadditional information, including the basis for our fair value
option elections, see Note 1917 (Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities) in our 20192020 Form 10-K.
Table 16.1615.7 reflects differences between the fair value carrying amount of the assets for which we have elected the fair value option and the contractual aggregate unpaid principal amount at maturity. Nonaccrual loans and loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing included in LHFS for which we have elected the fair value option were insignificant at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

For performing loans, instrument-specific credit risk gains or losses were derived principally by determining the change in fair value of the loans due to changes in the observable or implied credit spread. Credit spread is the market yield on the loans less the relevant risk-free benchmark interest rate. For
nonperforming loans, we attribute all changes in fair value to instrument-specific credit risk. Table 16.18 shows the estimated gainsGains and losses from earnings attributable to instrument-specific credit risk related to assets accounted for under the fair value option.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Table 16.1915.8 presents a summary of fair value estimates for financial instruments that are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis. Some financial instruments are excluded from the scope of this table, such as certain insurance contracts, certain nonmarketable equity securities, and leases. This table also excludes assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments such as the value of the long-term relationships with our deposit, credit card and trust customers, MSRs, premises and equipment, goodwill and deferred taxes.
Loan commitments, standby letters of credit and commercial and similar letters of credit are not included in
Table 16.19.15.8. A reasonable estimate of the fair value of these instruments is the carrying value of deferred fees plus the allowance for unfunded credit commitments, which totaled $1.7$1.4 billion and $1.0 billion at both June 30, 20202021, and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.
The total of the fair value calculations presented does not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying fair value of the Company.

Note 17: Preferred Stock (continued)

ESOP CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCKAll shares of our ESOP Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (ESOP Preferred Stock) were issued to a trustee acting on behalf of the Wells Fargo & Company 401(k) Plan (the 401(k) Plan). Dividends on the ESOP Preferred Stock are cumulative from the date of initial issuance and are payable quarterly at annual rates based upon the year of issuance. Each share of ESOP Preferred Stock released from the unallocated reserve of the 401(k) Plan is converted into shares of our common stock based on the stated
value of the ESOP Preferred Stock and the then current market price of our common stock. The ESOP Preferred Stock is also convertible at the option of the holder at any time, unless previously redeemed. We have the option to redeem the ESOP Preferred Stock at any time, in whole or in part, at a redemption price per share equal to the higher of (a) $1,000 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends or (b) the fair market value, as defined in the Certificates of Designation for the ESOP Preferred Stock.

Note 19:18: Employee Benefits and Other Expenses
Pension and Postretirement Plans
We sponsor a frozen noncontributory qualified defined benefit retirement plan, the Wells Fargo & Company Cash Balance Plan (Cash Balance Plan), which covers eligible employees of Wells Fargo. The Cash Balance Plan was frozen on July 1, 2009, and 0 new benefits have accruedaccrue after that date. For additional information on our pension and postretirement plans, including plan assumptions, investment strategy and asset allocation, projected benefit payments, and valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value, see Note 2321 (Employee Benefits and Other Expenses) in our 20192020 Form 10-K.
We recognize settlement losses for our Cash Balance Plan based on an assessment of whether lump sum benefit payments will, in aggregate for the year, exceed the sum of its annual service and interest cost.cost (threshold). Settlement losses of $62 million and $70 million were recognized during second quarter 2021 and 2020, respectively, representing the pro rata portion of the net loss in cumulative other comprehensive income
based on the percentage reduction in the Cash Balance
Plan’s projected benefit obligation attributable to lump sum benefit payments during the first half of both 2021 and 2020. As a result of the settlement losses, we re-measured the Cash Balance Plan obligation and plan assets as of both June 30, 2021 and 2020, and used a discount rate of 2.80% and 2.75%, respectively, based on our consistent methodology of determining our discount rate using a yield curve with maturity dates that closely match the estimated timing of the expected benefit payments. The result of the settlement losses and re-measurementremeasurement increased the Cash Balance Plan asset by $347 million and other comprehensive income (pre-tax) by $409 million in second quarter 2021, and increased the Cash Balance Plan liability by $674 million and decreased other comprehensive income (pre-tax) by $604 million (pre tax) in second quarter 2020.
Table 19.118.1 presents the components of net periodic benefit cost. Service cost is reported in personnel expense and all other components of net periodic benefit cost are reported in other noninterest expense on the consolidated statement of income.

Corporate includes corporate treasury and enterprise functions, net of allocations (including funds transfer pricing, capital, liquidity and certain expenses), in support of the reportable operating segments, as well as our 2019 Form 10-K.investment portfolio and affiliated venture capital and private equity businesses. In addition, Corporate includes all restructuring charges related to our efficiency initiatives. See Note 19 (Restructuring Charges) for additional information on restructuring charges. Corporate also includes certain lines of business that management has determined are no longer consistent with the long-term strategic goals of the Company, as well as results for previously divested businesses.

Basis of Presentation
FUNDS TRANSFER PRICING Corporate treasury manages a funds transfer pricing methodology that considers interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and other product characteristics. Operating segments pay a funding charge for their assets and receive a funding credit for their deposits, both of which are included in net interest income. The net impact of the funding charges or credits is recognized in corporate treasury.

REVENUE AND EXPENSE SHARING When lines of business jointly serve customers, the line of business that is responsible for providing the product or service recognizes revenue or expense with a referral fee paid or an allocation of cost to the other line of business based on established internal revenue-sharing agreements.
When a line of business uses a service provided by another line of business or enterprise function (included in Corporate), expense is generally allocated based on the cost and use of the service provided.

TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT ADJUSTMENTS Taxable-equivalent adjustments related to tax-exempt income on certain loans and debt securities are included in net interest income, while taxable-equivalent adjustments related to income tax credits for low-income housing and renewable energy investments are included in noninterest income, in each case with corresponding impacts to income tax expense (benefit). Adjustments are included in Corporate, Commercial Banking, and Corporate and Investment Banking and are eliminated to reconcile to the Company’s consolidated financial results.

Note 23: Regulatory and Agency Capital Requirements and Other Restrictions
Regulatory Capital Requirements
The Company and each of its subsidiary banks are subject to regulatory capital adequacy requirements promulgated by federal banking regulators. The Federal ReserveFRB establishes capital requirements for the consolidated financial holding company, and the OCC has similar requirements for the Company’s national banks, including Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the Bank).
Table 23.1 presents regulatory capital information for Wells Fargo & Company and the Bank in accordance with Basel III capital requirements. We must reportOur capital adequacy is assessed based on the lower of our Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1), tier 1 and totalrisk-based capital ratios calculated under the Standardized Approach and under the Advanced Approach in the assessment of our capital adequacy.Approach. The Standardized Approach applies assigned risk weights to broad risk categories, while the calculation of risk-weighted assets (RWAs) under the Advanced Approach differs by requiring
applicable banks to utilize a risk-sensitive methodology, which relies upon the use of internal credit models, and includes an operational risk component. The
Basel III capital requirements for calculating CET1Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) and tier 1 capital, along with RWAs, are fully phased-in. However, the requirements for determining tier 2 and total capital are still in accordance with Transition Requirementstransition requirements and are scheduled to be fully phased-in by the end of 2021. Accordingly, the information presented below reflects fully phased-in CET1 capital, tier 1 capital, and RWAs, but reflects total capital still in accordance with Transition Requirements.transition requirements.
At June 30, 2020,2021, the Bank and our other insured depository institutions were considered well-capitalized under the requirements of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.
The Bank is an approved seller/servicer of mortgage loans and is required to maintain minimum levels of shareholders’ equity, as specified by various agencies, including the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, GNMA, FHLMC and FNMA. At June 30, 2020, the Bank met these requirements.

(1)At June 30, 2021, the impact of the CECL transition provision issued by federal banking regulators in March 2020 related to the impact of CECL on regulatory capital. The rule permits certain banking organizations to exclude from regulatory capital the initial adoption impact of CECL, plus 25% of the cumulative changes in the ACL under CECL for each period until December 31, 2021, followed by a three-year phase-out of the benefits. The impact of the CECL transition provision on the regulatory capital of the Company was an increase in capital of $879 million, reflecting a $991 million (post-tax) increase in capital recognized upon our initial adoption of CECL, offset by 25% of the $7.5 billion increase in our ACL under CECL from January 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021. The impact of the CECL transition provision on the regulatory capital of the Bank at June 30, 2021, was an increase in capital of $879 million.
(2)June 30, 2020, was an increase in capital of $1.9 billion, reflecting a $991 million (post-tax) increase in capital recognized upon our initial adoption of CECL, offset by 25% of the $11.4 billion increase in our ACL under CECL from January 1, 2020, through June 30, 2020. The impact of the CECL transition provision on the regulatory capital of the Bank at June 30, 2020, was an increase in capital of $1.8 billion.
(2)RWAs and capital ratios for December 31, 2019, have been revised as a result of a decrease in RWAs under the Advanced Approach due to the correction of duplicated operational loss amounts.
RWAs for the Company and the Bank includeincluded an increase of $1.5$547 million under the Standardized Approach and a decrease of $1.4 billion under both the Advanced Approach and Standardized Approach related to the impact of the CECL transition provision on the excess allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2020.
(3)The leverage ratio consists of Tier 1 capital divided by total average assets, excluding goodwill and certain other items.
(4)The supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) consists of Tier 1 capital divided by total leverage exposure. Total leverage exposure consists of total average assets, less goodwill and other permitted Tier 1 capital deductions (net of deferred tax liabilities), plus certain off-balance sheet exposures.

2021.

(3)The SLR consists of tier 1 capital divided by total leverage exposure. Total leverage exposure consists of total average assets, less goodwill and other permitted tier 1 capital deductions (net of deferred tax liabilities), plus certain off-balance sheet exposures.
(4)In 2020, the FRB issued an interim final rule that temporarily allowed the exclusion for on-balance sheet amounts of U.S. Treasury securities and deposits at Federal Reserve Banks from the calculation of total leverage exposure in the denominator of the SLR. The Company adopted this interim final rule, but the Bank did not elect to apply these exclusions. The interim final rule expired on April 1, 2021.
(5)The tier 1 leverage ratio consists of tier 1 capital divided by total average assets, excluding goodwill and certain other items as determined under the rule.
At June 30, 2021, under transition requirements, the CET1, tier 1 and total capital ratio requirements for the Company included a global systemically important bank (G-SIB) surcharge of 2.00%. The G-SIB surcharge is not applicable to the Bank. In addition, the CET1, tier 1 and total capital ratio requirements for the Company and the Bank included a stress capital buffer of 2.50% under the Standardized Approach and a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% under the Advanced Approach. The Company is required to maintain these risk-based capital ratios and to maintain an SLR of at least 5.00% (comprised of a 3.00% minimum requirement plus a supplementary leverage buffer of 2.00%) to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments. The Bank is required to maintain an SLR of at least 6.00% to be considered well-capitalized under applicable regulatory capital adequacy rules.

At Wells Fargo & CompanyJune 30, 2020, under transition requirements, the CET1, tier 1 and total capital minimum ratio requirements for the Company include a capital conservation buffer of 2.500% and a global systemically important bank (G-SIB) surcharge of 2.000%. Only the 2.500% capital conservation buffer applies to the Bank at June 30, 2020. Effective October 1, 2020, the 2.500% capital conservation buffer will be replaced under the Standardized Approach by a stress capital buffer that is calculated annually as part of the FRB's supervisory stress test and related Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR).


Capital Planning Requirements
The FRB’s capital plan rule establishes capital planning and other requirements that govern capital distributions, including dividends and share repurchases, by certain large bank holding companies (BHCs), including Wells Fargo. The FRB conducts an annual Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review exercise and has also published guidance regarding its supervisory expectations for capital planning, including capital policies regarding the process relating to common stock dividend and repurchase decisions in the FRB’s SR Letter 15-18. The Parent’s ability to make certain capital distributions is subject to the requirements of the capital plan rule and is also subject to the Parent meeting or exceeding certain regulatory capital minimums.
On March 25, 2021, the FRB announced that it was extending measures it previously announced limiting large BHCs, including Wells Fargo, from making any capital distribution (excluding any capital distribution arising from the issuance of a capital instrument eligible for inclusion in the numerator of a regulatory capital ratio), unless otherwise approved by the FRB. The FRB generally authorized BHCs to (i) provided that the BHC does not increase the amount of its common stock dividends to be larger than the level paid in second quarter 2020, pay common stock dividends and make share repurchases that, in the aggregate, do not exceed an amount equal to the average of the BHC’s net income for the four preceding calendar quarters; (ii) make share repurchases that equal the amount of share issuances related to expensed employee compensation; and (iii) redeem and make scheduled payments on additional tier 1 and tier 2 capital instruments. These limitations on capital distributions ended on June 30, 2021.
Loan and Dividend Restrictions
Federal law restricts the amount and the terms of both credit and non-credit transactions between a bank and its nonbank affiliates. Additionally, federal laws and regulations limit the dividends that a national bank may pay.
Our nonbank subsidiaries are also limited by certain federal and state statutory provisions and regulations covering the amount of dividends that may be paid in any given year. In addition, under a Support Agreement dated June 28, 2017, as amended and restated on June 26, 2019, among Wells Fargo & Company, the parent holding company (the “Parent”), WFC Holdings, LLC, an intermediate holding company and subsidiary of the Parent (the “IHC”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC, and certain other subsidiaries of the Parent designated from time to time as material entities for resolution planning purposes or identified from time to time as related support entities in our resolution plan, the IHC may be restricted from making dividend payments to the Parent if certain liquidity and/or capital metrics fall below defined triggers or if the Parent’s board of directors authorizes it to file a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
For additional information on loan and dividend restrictions, see Note 28 (Regulatory Capital Requirements and Other Restrictions) in our 2020 Form 10-K.
