the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the global economy, adversely impacted Truist’s financial condition and results of operations, including through increased expenses, reduced fee income and net interest margin and increases in the allowance for credit losses, and continuation of current conditions could worsen these impacts and also adversely affect Truist’s capital and liquidity position or cost of capital, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, cause an outflow of deposits, and impair goodwill or other assets;

expenses relating to the Merger and integration of heritage BB&T and heritage SunTrust;
deposit attrition, client loss or revenue loss following completed mergers or acquisitions may be greater than anticipated;

volatility in mortgage production and servicing revenues, and changes in carrying values of Truist’s servicing assets and mortgages held for sale due to changes in interest rates;
management’s ability to effectively manage credit risk;
inability to access short-term funding or liquidity;
loss of client deposits, which could increase Truist’s funding costs;
changes in Truist’s credit ratings, which could increase the cost of funding or limit access to capital markets;

competitors of Truist may have greater financial resources or develop products that enable them to compete more successfully than Truist and may be subject to different regulatory standards than Truist;
failure to maintain or enhance Truist’s competitive position with respect to technology, whether it fails to anticipate client expectations or because its technological developments fail to perform as desired or are not rolled out in a timely manner or for other reasons, may cause Truist to lose market share or incur additional expense;
fraud or misconduct by internal or external parties, which Truist may not be able to prevent, detect or mitigate;
operational or communications systems, including systems used by vendors or other external parties, may fail or may be the subject of a breach or cyber-attack that, if successful, could adversely impact Truist's financial condition and results of operations;

Truist is subject to credit risk by lending or committing to lend money, and may have more credit risk and higher credit losses to the extent that loans are concentrated by loan type, industry segment, borrower type or location of the borrower or collateral;

risk management oversight functions may not identify or address risks adequately, and management may not be able to effectively manage credit risk;
risks resulting from the extensive use of models in Truist’s business, which may impact decisions made by management and regulators;

widespread outages of operational, communication, or other systems, whether internal or provided by third parties, natural or other disasters (including acts of terrorism and pandemics), and the effects of climate change could have an adverse effect on Truist’s financial condition and results of operations, lead to material disruption of Truist’s operations or the ability or willingness of clients to access Truist’s products and services.

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

General

See the Glossary of Defined Terms at the beginning of this Report for terms used herein. These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q, and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flow activity required in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not includecontain all of the footnote disclosures required by GAAP.from the annual financial statements. The information contained in the financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The Company updated its accounting policies in connection with recently adopted accounting standards. There were no other significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts reported in prior periods'periods’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the ACL; determination of fair value for financial instruments; valuation of MSRs; goodwill, intangible assets and other purchase accounting related adjustments; benefit plan obligations and expenses; and tax assets, liabilities, and expense.

Investment SecuritiesChanges in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company invests in various debt securities primarily for liquidity management purposes and as part of the overall ALM process to optimize income and market performance over an entire interest rate cycle. Investments in debt securities that are not held for trading purposes are classified as HTM or AFS. Truist does not currently have any securities classified as HTM.

Interest income on securities is recognized in income on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts are amortized into interest income using the effective interest method over the contractual life of the security. As prepayments are received, 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.

Debt securities that may be sold to meet liquidity needs arising from unanticipated deposit and loan fluctuations, changes in regulatory capital requirements or unforeseen changes in market conditions are classified as AFS. AFS securities are reported at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in AOCI, net of deferred income taxes, in the Shareholders' equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains or losses realized from the sale of AFS securities are determined by specific identification and are included in noninterest income.

An unrealized loss exists whenThere were no standards adopted during the current fair value of an individual security is less than its amortized cost basis. AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position are evaluated at the balance sheet date to determine whether such losses are credit-related. Credit losses are measured on an individual basis and recognized in an ACL. Changes in expected credit losses are recognized in the Provision for credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Municipal securities are evaluated for impairment usingyear that had a municipal bond credit scoring tool that leverages historical municipal market data to estimate probability of default and loss given default at the issuer level. U.S. Treasury securities, government guaranteed securities, and other securities issued by GSEs are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the US government, are highly rated by rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. There was no ACLmaterial effect on the Company’s AFS debt securities at June 30, 2020.

Loansfinancial statements, and Leases

The Company's accounting methods for loans differ dependingno standards not yet adopted by the Company that are expected to have a material effect on whether the loans are originated or purchased, and if purchased, whether or not the loans reflect credit deterioration since the date of origination such that at the date of acquisition there is more than an insignificant deterioration in credit.Company’s financial statements.

Truist Financial Corporation 9


Originated Loans and Leases

Loans and leases that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding principal balances net of any unearned income, charge-offs, and unamortized fees and costs. Interest and fees on loans and leases includes certain loan fees and deferred direct costs associated with the lending process recognized over the contractual lives of the loans using the effective interest method.

Purchased Loans

Purchased loans are recorded at their fair value at the acquisition date. The estimated fair values incorporate adjustments related to expected credit losses, prevailing market interest rates for comparable assets and liquidity-related adjustments.

Fair values for purchased loans are based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considers credit loss expectations, market interest rates and other market factors such as liquidity from the perspective of a market participant. Loans are grouped together according to similar characteristics and treated in the aggregate when applying various valuation techniques. The probability of default, loss given default and prepayment assumptions are the key factors driving credit losses which are embedded into the estimated cash flows. These assumptions are informed by internal data on loan characteristics, historical loss experience, and current and forecasted economic conditions. The interest and liquidity component of the estimate are determined by discounting interest and principal cash flows through the expected life of the underlying loans. The discount rates used for loans are based on current market rates for new originations of comparable loans and include adjustments for liquidity. The discount rates do not include a factor for credit losses as that has been included as a reduction to the estimated cash flows.

Beginning January 1, 2020, purchased loans are evaluated upon acquisition and classified as either PCD, which indicates that the loan reflects more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, or non-PCD. Truist considers a variety of factors in connection with the identification of more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality, including but not limited to risk grades, delinquency, nonperforming status, previous troubled debt restructurings or bankruptcies and other qualitative factors that indicate deterioration in credit quality since origination.

For PCD loans, the initial estimate of expected credit losses is determined using the same methodology as other loans held for investmentand recognized as an adjustment to the acquisition price of the asset; thus, the sum of the loans’ purchase price and initial ALLL estimate represents the initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par value is the non-credit discount or premium. For non-PCD loans, the difference between the fair value and the par value is considered the fair value mark. The initial ALLL for non-PCD loans is recorded with a corresponding charge to the Provision for credit losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Subsequent changes in the ALLL related to PCD and non-PCD loans are recognized in the Provision for credit losses.

The non-credit discount or premium related to PCD loans, and the fair value mark on non-PCD loans, is amortized or accreted to interest and fees on loans and leases over the contractual life of the loans using the effective interest method for amortizing loans, and using a straight-line approach for interest-only loans and loans with revolving privileges. In the event of prepayment, unamortized discounts or premiums are recognized in interest and fees on loans and leases.

TDRs
Modifications to a borrower's debt agreement are considered TDRs if a concession is granted for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties that otherwise would not be considered. TDRs are undertaken to improve the likelihood of recovery on the loan and may take the form of modifications made with the stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, other modifications to the structure of the loan that fall outside of normal underwriting policies and procedures, or in certain limited circumstances, forgiveness of principal or interest. A restructuring that results in only a delay in payments that is insignificant is not considered an economic concession. In accordance with the CARES Act, Truist implemented loan modification programs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in order to provide borrowers with flexibility with respect to repayment terms. Truist payment relief assistance includes forbearance, deferrals, extension and re-aging programs, along with certain other modification strategies. The Company elected the accounting policy in the CARES Act to not apply TDR accounting to loans modified for borrowers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company applies this policy to loans modified in response to a COVID-19 hardship that were less than 30 days past due at December 31, 2019, or in certain circumstances, at the time that the COVID-19 loan modification program was implemented, unless the loan was previously classified as a TDR.

TDRs can be classified as performing or nonperforming, depending on the individual facts and circumstances of the borrower and an evaluation as to whether the borrower will be able to repay the loan based on the modified terms. In circumstances where the TDR involves charging off a portion of the loan balance, Truist classifies these TDRs as nonperforming.

10 Truist Financial Corporation


The decision to maintain a commercial TDR on performing status is based on a current, well documented credit evaluation of the borrower's financial condition and prospects for repayment under the modified terms. This evaluation includes consideration of the borrower's current capacity to pay, which among other things may include a review of the borrower's current financial statements, an analysis of cash flow available to pay debt obligations, and an evaluation of secondary sources of payment from the borrower and any guarantors. This evaluation also includes an evaluation of the borrower's current willingness to pay, which may include a review of past payment history, an evaluation of the borrower's willingness to provide information on a timely basis, and consideration of offers from the borrower to provide additional collateral or guarantor support. The credit evaluation may also include review of cash flow projections, consideration of the adequacy of collateral to cover all principal and interest and trends indicating improving profitability and collectability of receivables.

The evaluation of mortgage and retail loans includes an evaluation of the client's debt-to-income ratio, credit report, property value, loan vintage, and certain other client-specific factors that impact the clients’ ability to make timely principal and interest payments on the loan.

TDR classification may be removed due to the passage of time if the loan: (1) did not include a forgiveness of principal or interest, (2) has performed in accordance with the modified terms (generally a minimum of six months), (3) was reported as a TDR over a year-end reporting period, and (4) reflected an interest rate on the modified loan that was no less than a market rate at the date of modification. TDR classification may also be removed for an accruing loan upon the occurrence of a subsequent non-concessionary modification granted at market terms and within current underwriting guidelines.

NPAs
NPAs include NPLs and foreclosed property. Foreclosed property consists of real estate and other assets acquired as a result of clients' loan defaults.

Truist's policies for placing loans on nonperforming status conform to guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. Truist classifies loans and leases as past due when the payment of principal and interest based upon contractual terms is greater than 30 days delinquent or if one payment is past due. Payment deferrals granted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic do not result in a loan becoming past due. The following table summarizes the delinquency thresholds that are used in evaluating nonperforming classification and the timing of charge-off evaluations:

(2) Or when it is probable that principal or interest is not fully collectible, whichever occurs first.
(3) Depends on product type, loss mitigation status, status of the government guaranty, if applicable, and certain other product-specific factors.
(4) Government guaranteed student loans are not placed on nonperforming status.
(5) Credits cards are generally not placed into nonperforming status, but are fully charged off at specified delinquency dates consistent with regulatory guidelines.

When commercial loans are placed on nonperforming status, a charge-off is recorded, as applicable, to decrease the carrying value of such loans to the estimated recoverable amount. Consumer and credit card loans are subject to charge-off at a specified delinquency date consistent with regulatory guidelines.

Truist Financial Corporation 11


Certain past due loans may remain on performing status if management determines that it does not have concern over the collectability of principal and interest. Generally, when loans are placed on nonperforming status, accrued interest receivable is reversed against interest income in the current period and amortization of deferred loan fees and expenses for originated loans, and fair value marks for purchased loans, is suspended. For commercial loans and certain consumer loans, payments received for interest and lending fees thereafter are applied as a reduction to the remaining principal balance as long as concern exists as to the ultimate collection of the principal. Interest income on nonperforming loans is recognized after the principal has been reduced to zero. If and when borrowers demonstrate the ability to repay a loan classified as nonperforming in accordance with its contractual terms, the loan may be returned to performing status upon meeting all regulatory, accounting and internal policy requirements.

Accrued interest is included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accrued interest receivable balances are not considered in connection with the ACL estimation process, as such amounts are generally reversed against interest income when the loan is placed in nonperforming status. Reserves are established for accrued interest related to loans that have been deferred in connection with the CARES Act based on management’s best estimate of the interest that may ultimately prove to be uncollectible.

Assets acquired as a result of foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less estimated cost to sell and subsequently carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value equals fair value less estimated selling costs. Any excess of cost over net realizable value at the time of foreclosure is charged to the ALLL. NPAs are subject to periodic revaluations of the collateral underlying impaired loans and foreclosed real estate. The periodic revaluations are generally based on the appraised value of the property and may include additional liquidity adjustments based upon the expected retention period. Truist's policies require that valuations be updated at least annually and that upon foreclosure, the valuation must not be more than six months old, otherwise an update is required. Any subsequent changes in value as well as gains or losses from the disposition on these assets are recognized in Other noninterest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. For additional information on the Company’s loan and lease activities, see "Note 5. Loans and ACL.”

ACL

The ACL includes the ALLL and RUFC. The ACL represents management's best estimate of expected future credit losses related to loan and lease portfolios and off-balance sheet lending commitments at the balance sheet date. The ALLL is a valuation account that is deducted from or added to the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on loans. The entire amount of the ACL is available to absorb losses on any loan category or lending-related commitment. Loan or lease balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged off against the ALLL. Expected recoveries of amounts previously charged off are incorporated into the ALLL estimate, with such amounts capped at the aggregate of amounts previously charged off. Changes to the ACL are made by charges to the Provision for credit losses, which is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The RUFC is recorded in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Portfolio segments represent the level at which Truist develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine its ACL. Truist’s loan and lease portfolio consists of three portfolio segments; commercial, consumer and credit card. The expected credit loss models are generally developed one level below the portfolio segment level. In certain instances, loans are further disaggregated by similar risk characteristics, such as business sector, client type, funding type, type of collateral, whether loan payments are interest-only and whether interest rates are fixed or variable. Larger loans and leases that do not share similar risk characteristics or that are considered collateral-dependent are individually evaluated. For these loans, the ALLL is determined through review of data specific to the borrower and related collateral, if any. Such estimates may be based on current loss forecasts, an evaluation of the fair value of the underlying collateral or in certain circumstances the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest as described further below by portfolio segment. The commercial portfolio segment models use a risk rating approach to estimate the ALLL. The consumer and credit card models use a delinquency-based approach to estimate the ALLL. In addition to these quantitatively calculated components, the ALLL includes qualitatively calculated components.

Truist maintains a collectively calculated ALLL for loans with similar risk characteristics. The collectively calculated ALLL is estimated using relevant available information from internal and external sources relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Truist maintains quantitative models to forecast expected credit losses. The credit loss forecasting models use portfolio balances, macroeconomic scenarios, portfolio composition and loan attributes as the primary inputs. Loss estimates are informed by historical loss experience adjusted for macroeconomic forecasts and current and expected portfolio risk characteristics. Expected losses are estimated through contractual maturity unless the borrower has a right to renew that is not cancellable or it is reasonably expected that the loan will be modified as a TDR.

12 Truist Financial Corporation


The Scenario Committee provides guidance, selection, and approval for enterprise-sanctioned macroeconomic scenarios, including the macroeconomic forecasts for use in the ACL process. Forecasted economic conditions are developed using third party macroeconomic scenarios adjusted based on management’s expectations over a reasonable and supportable forecast period of two years. Assumptions revert to long term historic averages gradually over a one year period. Macroeconomic factors used in estimating the expected losses vary by loan portfolio and include employment factors, estimated collateral values and market indicators as described by portfolio segment below. A qualitative allowance which incorporates management’s judgement is also included in the estimation of expected future loan and lease losses, including qualitative adjustments in circumstances where the model output is inconsistent with management’s expectations with respect to expected credit losses. This allowance is used to capture risks in the portfolio such as considerations with respect to the impact of current economic events, the outcomes of which are uncertain. These events may include, but are not limited to, political conditions, legislation that may directly or indirectly affect the banking industry and economic conditions affecting specific geographical areas and industries in which Truist conducts business.

The methodology for determining the RUFC is inherently similar to that used to determine the funded component of the ALLL and is measured over the period there is a contractual obligation to extend credit that is not unconditionally cancellable. The RUFC is adjusted for factors specific to binding commitments, including the probability of funding and exposure at default.

The ACL is monitored by the ACL Committee. The ACL Committee approves the ACL estimate and may recommend adjustments where necessary based on portfolio performance and other items that may impact credit risk.

The following provides a description of accounting policies, methodologies and credit quality indicators related to each of the portfolio segments:

Commercial

The majority of loans in the commercial lending portfolio are assigned risk ratings based on an assessment of conditions that affect the borrower's ability to meet contractual obligations under the loan agreement. This process includes reviewing borrowers' financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and other information specific to each borrower. Risk ratings are reviewed on an annual basis, or more frequently for many relationships based on the policy requirements regarding various risk characteristics. While this review is largely focused on the borrower's ability to repay the loan, Truist also considers the capacity and willingness of a loan's guarantors to support the loan as a secondary source of repayment. When a guarantor exhibits the documented capacity and willingness to support the loan, Truist may consider extending the loan maturity and/or temporarily deferring principal payments if the ultimate collection of both principal and interest is not in question. In these cases, Truist may determine the loan is not impaired due to the documented capacity and willingness of the guarantor to repay the loan. Loans are considered impaired when the borrower (or guarantor in certain circumstances) does not have the cash flow capacity or willingness to service the debt according to contractual terms, or it does not appear reasonable to assume that the borrower will continue to pay according to the contractual agreement. The following table summarizes risk ratings that Truist uses to monitor credit quality in its commercial portfolio:
Risk RatingDescription
PassLoans not considered to be problem credits
Special MentionLoans that have a potential weakness deserving management's close attention
SubstandardLoans for which a well-defined weakness has been identified that may put full collection of contractual cash flows at risk
NonperformingLoans for which full collection of principal and interest is not considered probable

Loans are generally pooled one level below the portfolio segment for the collectively calculated ALLL based on factors such as business sector, project and property type, line of business, collateral, loan type, obligor exposure, and risk grade or score. Commercial loss forecasting models are expected loss frameworks that use macroeconomic scenarios and current portfolio attributes as inputs. The models forecast probability of default, exposure at default and loss given default. The primary macroeconomic drivers for the commercial portfolios include unemployment, U.S. real GDP, corporate credit spreads, rental rates and property values.

Truist's policy is to review and individually evaluate the reserve for all nonperforming lending relationships and TDRs with an outstanding balance of $5 million or more, as such lending relationships do not typically share similar risk characteristics with others. Individually evaluated reserves are based on current forecasts, the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the value of collateral, which is generally based on appraisals, recent sales of foreclosed properties and/or relevant property-specific market information. Truist has elected to measure expected credit losses on collateral-dependent loans based on the fair value of the collateral. Loans are considered collateral dependent when it is probable that Truist will be unable to collect principal and interest according to the contractual terms of the agreement and repayment is expected to be provided substantially by the sale or continued operation of the underlying collateral. Commercial loans are typically secured by real estate, business equipment, inventories and other types of collateral.

Truist Financial Corporation 13


Consumer and Credit Card

The majority of the ALLL related to the consumer and credit card lending portfolios is calculated on a collective basis. Loans are pooled one level below the portfolio segment for the collectively calculated ALLL based on factors such as collateral, loan type, line of business and sales channel. Consumer portfolio models are expected loss frameworks that use macroeconomic scenarios and current portfolio attributes as inputs. The models forecast probability of default, exposure at default and loss given default. The primary macroeconomic drivers for the consumer portfolios include unemployment trends, home price indices and used car prices.

Residential mortgages and revolving home equity lines of credit are generally collateralized by one-to-four-family residential real estate, typically have loan-to-collateral value ratios of 80% or less at origination, and are made to borrowers in good credit standing. The indirect auto and indirect other portfolios include secured indirect installment loans to consumers for the purchase of new and used automobiles, boats and recreational vehicles. The student loan portfolio is composed of securitized government-guaranteed student loans and certain private student loans originated by third parties. The government guarantee mitigates substantially all of the risk related to principal and interest repayment for this component of the portfolio. Private student loans purchased from third-party originators with credit enhancements partially mitigate the Company’s credit exposure. The credit card portfolio and other arrangements within the indirect other portfolio are generally unsecured and actively managed.

Truist uses performing status to monitor credit quality in its consumer and credit card portfolios. Delinquency status is the primary factor considered in determining whether a loan should be classified as nonperforming.

The ALLL for loans classified as a TDR is based on analyses capturing the expected credit losses and the impact of the concession over the remaining life of the asset.

Expected recoveries for consumer and credit card loans are included in the estimation of the ALLL based on historical experience.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements
StandardDescriptionEffects on the Financial Statements
Standards Adopted January 1, 2020
Credit LossesReplaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with an expected credit loss methodology and requires consideration of a broader range of information to determine credit loss estimates. Financial assets measured at amortized cost are presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses. Purchased credit deteriorated loans receive an allowance for expected credit losses. Any credit impairment on AFS debt securities for which the fair value is less than cost is recorded through an allowance for expected credit losses. The standard also requires expanded disclosures related to credit losses and asset quality.Truist adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach.

The adoption of this standard resulted in a $3.1 billion increase to the ALLL and a $2.1 billion decrease to Retained earnings adjusted for deferred taxes and other impacts.

A policy election was made to dissolve the existing PCI loan pools. The amortized cost basis of PCD assets was increased by $378 million at January 1, 2020, which reflects the initial estimate of credit losses for these assets. The remaining noncredit discount will be accreted to Interest and fee income on loans and leases over the contractual lives of the underlying assets using an effective interest method for amortizing loans and a straight-line approach for interest-only loans and loans with revolving privileges.

The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the AFS securities portfolio.
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill ImpairmentSimplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill, by eliminating the second step from the goodwill impairment test. The amendments require an entity to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The standard requires an entity to recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, with the loss limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard must be applied on a prospective basis.The standard does not currently have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements; however, if subsequent to adoption, the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its respective fair value, the Company would be required to recognize an impairment charge for the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value up to the amount of the goodwill assigned to the reporting unit.

NOTE 2. Business Combinations

Effective December 6, 2019, the Company completed its Merger with SunTrust. The Merger was accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values as of the Merger date. The determination of fair value requires management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and subject to change. Fair value estimates related to the acquired assets and liabilities are subject to adjustment until all necessary information related to the valuation process has been received. Adjustments must be finalized within one year of the closing date of the Merger. The Company’s purchase price allocation is considered preliminary as certain estimates related to leveraged leases and certain other assets and liabilities are subject to continuing refinement. Immaterial amounts of the intangible assets recognized are deductible for income tax purposes. For additional information, see “Note 2. Business Combinations” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The following table sets forth a preliminary allocation of Merger consideration to the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of SunTrust as of December 6, 2019:

Branch Divestitures

In July 2020, Truist completed the previously announced divestiture of 30 branches to First Horizon Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of First Horizon National Corporation, to satisfy regulatory requirements in connection with the Merger. The branches were located in North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia. There were $425 million in loans and leases and $2.2 billion in deposits divested as part of this transaction.

NOTE 3. Securities Financing Activities

Securities purchased under resale agreements are primarily collateralized by U.S. government or agency securities and are carried at the amounts at which the securities will be subsequently sold, plus accrued interest. Securities borrowed are primarily collateralized by corporate securities. The Company borrows securities and purchases securities under agreements to resell as part of its securities financing activities. On the acquisition date of these securities, the Company and the related counterparty agree on the amount of collateral required to secure the principal amount loaned under these arrangements. The Company monitors collateral values daily and calls for additional collateral to be provided as warranted under the respective agreements. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total market value of collateral held was $1.3 billion and $1.7 billion, of which amounts repledged were immaterial at March 31, 2021 and $27 million at December 31, 2020. The following table presents securities borrowed or purchased under resale agreements:

For securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the Company would be obligated to provide additional collateral in the event of a significant decline in fair value of the collateral pledged. This risk is managed by monitoring the liquidity and credit quality of the collateral, as well as the maturity profile of the transactions. Refer to "Note 14.“Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies"Contingencies” for additional information related to pledged securities. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as secured borrowings.

At June 30, 2020, noMarch 31, 2021, 0 ACL was established for AFS securities. Substantially all of the unrealized losses on the securities portfolio were the result of changes in market interest rates compared to the date the securities were acquired rather than the credit quality of the issuers or underlying loans. The majority of the unrealized loss on states and political subdivisions securities was the result of fair value hedge basis adjustments that are a component of amortized cost.

NOTE 5.4. Loans and ACL

The following tables present loans and leases HFI by aging category. Government guaranteed loans are not placed on nonaccrual status regardless of delinquency because collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured. The past due status of loans that received a deferral under the CARES Act is generally frozen during the deferral period. In certain limited circumstances, accommodation programs result in the delinquency status being reset to current.

The following table presents the carrying amount of loans by risk rating and performing status. Student loans are excluded as there is nominal risk of credit loss due to government guarantees or other credit enhancements. PCI loans were excluded because their related ALLL is determined by loan pool performance, and credit card loans were excluded as these loans are charged-off rather than reclassified as nonperforming:

The adoption of CECL increased the ALLL $3.1 billion. The following discussion of the changes in the factors that influenced Truist’s ACL estimate and the reasons for those changes excludes the impact at adoption and certain other activity.

The commercial ALLL increased $442decreased $101 million as of March 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020 due to lower loan balances and $853 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The increases are primarily attributed to a more pessimistic outlook with respect to futureimproving economic conditions driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and specific consideration of the risks associated with exposures to certain industries, including oil and gas, hospitality, and lending to small businesses. Excluding guaranteed PPP loans, loan growth, primarily driven by draws on existing credit facilities, was also a contributor to the increase in the allowance for the six months ended June 30, 2020.conditions.

The consumer ALLL increased $69decreased $74 million and $199 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. These increases reflect the impactas of the more pessimistic outlook described above, with the largest quarterly and year-to-date increases seen in the unsecured portfolios and the nonprime auto lending portfolio.

The ALLL for credit card decreased $20 million and increased $30 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.March 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020. The decrease for the quarter reflects lower loan balances;balances primarily in the year-to-date increase reflects risks associated with COVID-19mortgage and a more pessimisticindirect other portfolios and improved economic outlook.conditions.

The RUFC increased $31decreased $15 million and $22 million foras of March 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020. The decrease reflects a change in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The net increase reflects the more pessimistic outlook with respect to future economic conditions driven by the COVID-19 pandemic partially offset by lower levelscomposition of unfunded commitments that resulted from first quarter draws on existing credit facilities and the sale of certain unfunded commitments.improving economic forecast.

Truist’s ACL estimate represents management’s best estimate of expected credit losses related to the loan and lease portfolio, including unfunded commitments, at the balance sheet date. This estimate incorporates both quantitatively-derived output, as well as qualitative components that represent expected losses not otherwise captured by the models.

The quantitative models have been designed to estimate losses using macro-economic forecasts over a reasonable and supportable forecast period, which management has determined to be two years, followed by a reversion to long-term historical loss conditions over a one-year period. These macro-economic forecasts include a number of key economic variables utilized in loss forecasting that include, but are not limited to, the US unemployment rate, US unemployment claims rate,trends, US real GDP, Home Price Index, US Central Bank Policy Interest Ratecorporate credit spreads, rental rates, property values, the primary 30-year mortgage rate, home price indices and the Manheim Index.used car prices.
Truist Financial Corporation 15



The primary economic forecast incorporates a third-partythird -party baseline forecast that is adjusted to reflect Truist’s interest rate outlook. Management also considered multiple third-party macro-economic forecasts that reflected a range of possible outcomes in order to capture uncertainty in the changing severity ofeconomic environment caused by the pandemic and the associated economic disruption.pandemic. The economic forecast shaping the ACL estimate at June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 included an extendeda GDP recovery to pre-pandemic levels in the third quarter of 2021 with an improving unemployment rate to the mid-single-digits through the two-yearend of 2021 followed by continued improvement through the remainder of the reasonable and supportable forecast period and an initial double-digit unemployment followed by a continued sustained high single-digit level of unemployment.period.

Quantitative models have certain limitations with respect to estimating expected losses in times of rapidly changing macro-economic forecasts. As a result, management believes that the qualitative component of the ACL, which incorporates management’s expert judgment related to expected future credit losses, will continue to represent a significant portion of the ACL for the foreseeable future. The June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 ACL estimate includes qualitative adjustments to adjust foraddress limitations in modeled results with respect to forecasted economic conditions that are well outside of historic economic conditionsranges used to develop the models and tomodels. These adjustments give consideration to significantother risks in the portfolio, including the impact of government relief programs, stimulus and client accommodations.accommodations, that are not directly considered in the quantitative models.

NOTE 6.5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill attributable to operating segments are reflected in the table below. The adjustments for 2020 include measurement period adjustments to the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities and the reallocation of net assets to the underlying reporting units. Adjustments to the fair value of acquired assets include a $193 million reduction in the fair value mark for loans and leases and a $202 million increase in CDI and other intangibles, each recorded to goodwill net of deferred taxes. The adjustments to CDI and other intangibles did not have a material impact to estimated amortization expense for the next five years. Adjustments to the reallocation of net assets to Truist's reporting units include updates to the estimated operating results, and the finalization of corporate expense allocations based on the various drivers that Truist applies in allocating such costs. Refer to “Note 2. Business Combinations” and “Note 18. Operating Segments” for additional information.

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in the above table, the effect of an adverse variation in one assumption on the fair value of the MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption; while in reality, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change. See "Note 15.“Note 14. Fair Value Disclosures"Disclosures” for additional information on the valuation techniques used.

Total Return Swaps

The Company facilitates matched book TRS transactions on behalf of clients, whereby a VIE purchases reference assets identified by a client and the Company enters into a TRS with the VIE, with a mirror-image TRS facing the client. The Company provides senior financing to the VIE in the form of demand notes to fund the purchase of the reference assets. Reference assets are fixed income instruments primarily composed of syndicated bank loans. The TRS contracts pass through interest and other cash flows on the reference assets to the third party clients, along with exposing those clients to decreases in value on the assets and providing them with the rights to appreciation on the assets. The terms of the TRS contracts require the third parties to post initial margin collateral, as well as ongoing margin as the fair values of the underlying reference assets change.

The Company concluded that the associated VIEs should be consolidated because the Company has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits, that could potentially be significant. At June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet reflected $1.6$1.5 billion of assets and $95$66 million of other liabilities of the VIEs. At December 31, 2019,2020, the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet reflected $2.7$1.3 billion of assets and $116$41 million of other liabilities of the VIEs. Assets at June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 20192020 include $1.5 billion and $2.6$1.3 billion in trading loans respectively.and bonds. The activities of the VIEs are restricted to buying and selling the reference assets and the risks/benefits of any such assets owned by the VIEs are passed to the third party clients via the TRS contracts.

For additional information on the Company’s TRS contracts and its involvement with thesethe related VIEs, see "Note 16.“Note 15. Derivative Financial Instruments.”

Pledged Assets

Certain assets were pledged to secure municipal deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, certain derivative agreements, and borrowings or borrowing capacity, as well as for other purposes as required or permitted by law. Assets pledged to the FHLB and FRB are subject to applicable asset discounts when determining borrowing capacity. The Company obtains secured financing and letters of credit from the FRB and FHLB. The Company’s letters of credit from the FHLB can be used to secure various client deposits, including public fund relationships. Excluding assets related to employee benefit plans, the majority of the agreements governing the pledged assets do not permit the other party to sell or repledge the collateral. Additional assets were pledged to the FRB of Richmond in the first quarter of 2020 following the Merger. The following table provides the total carrying amount of pledged assets by asset type.type:

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

Truist and/or its subsidiaries are routinely parties to numerous legal proceedings, including private, civil litigation, and regulatory investigations, arising from the ordinary conduct of its regular business activities. The matters range from individual actions involving a single plaintiff to class action lawsuits with multiple class members and can involve claims for substantial amounts. Investigations involve both formal and informal proceedings, by both governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations. These legal proceedings are at varying stages of adjudication, arbitration, or investigation and may consist of a variety of claims, including common law tort and contract claims, andas well as statutory antitrust, securities, and consumer protection claims, and theclaims. The ultimate resolution of any proceedingsproceeding is uncertain and inherently difficult to predict. It is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, or consolidated cash flows of Truist.

In accordance with the provisions of U.S. GAAP for contingencies, Truist establishes accruals for legal matters when potential losses associated with the actions become probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. There is no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not significantly exceed the amounts that Truist has currently accrued. On a quarterly basis, Truist evaluates its outstandingAccruals for legal proceedings to assess litigation accruals and adjust such accruals upwards or downward, as appropriate,matters are based on management’s best judgment after consultation with counsel and others, as warranted.others.

The Company’s estimate ofCompany estimates reasonably possible losses, in excess of amounts accrued, ranges from 0of up to approximately $200 million as of June 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. This estimated rangeestimate is based upon currently available information and involves considerable judgment, given that claims often include significant legal uncertainties, damages alleged by plaintiffs are often unspecified or overstated, discovery may not have started or may not be complete and material facts may be disputed or unsubstantiated, among other factors. In addition, the matters underlying this estimated rangeestimate will change from time to time and actual losses may vary significantly from this estimate. ForAs a result, the same reasons stated above, we doCompany does not believe that an estimate of reasonably possible losses can be made for certain matters and therefore suchmatters. Such matters are not reflected in the rangeestimate provided here.herein.

The following is a description of a certain legal proceedingsproceeding in which Truist is involved:

Bickerstaff v. SunTrust Bank

This class action case was filed in the Fulton County State Court on July 12, 2010, and an amended complaint was filed on August 9, 2010. Plaintiff asserts that all overdraft fees charged to his account which related to debit card and ATM transactions are actually interest charges and therefore subject to the usury laws of Georgia. Plaintiff has brought claims for violations of civil and criminal usury laws, conversion, and money had and received. On October 6, 2017, the trial court granted plaintiff'splaintiff’s motion for class certification and defined the class as “Every Georgia citizen who had or has one or more accounts with SunTrust Bank and who, from July 12, 2006, to October 6, 2017 (i) had at least one overdraft of $500.00 or less resulting from an ATM or debit card transaction (the “Transaction”); (ii) paid any Overdraft Fees as a result of the Transaction; and (iii) did not receive a refund of those Fees”Fees,” and the granting of a certified class was affirmed on appeal. On April 8, 2020, the Company filed a motion seeking to narrow the scope of this class, and on May 29, 2020, it filed a renewed motion to compel arbitration of the claims of some of the class members. Discovery has commenced.On February 9, 2021, the trial court denied both motions as premature but held that the issues could be raised again after the conclusion of discovery, which is currently underway. The Company believes that the claims are without merit.

NOTE 15.14. Fair Value Disclosures

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received on the measurement date to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market available to the entity in an orderly transaction between market participants, with a three level measurement hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets
Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable

The following tables present fair value information for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company deconsolidated certain SBIC funds for which it had previously concluded that it was the primary beneficiary as a result of a change in control of the funds’ manager. Following the deconsolidation, the investments in SBIC funds are valued based on net asset value per unit, as provided by the fund manager as a practical expedient, which approximates the fair value,At March 31, 2021 and have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The SBIC funds in which the Company invests primarily focus on equity and subordinated debt investments in privately-held middle market companies. The majority of these VIE investments are not redeemable and distributions are received as the underlying assets of the funds liquidate. The timing of distributions, which are expected to occur on various dates on an approximately ratable basis through 2030, is uncertain and dependent on various events such as recapitalizations, refinance transactions and ownership changes among others. As of June 30, 2020, restrictions on the ability to sell the investments include, but are not limited to, consent of a majority member or general partner approval for transfer of ownership. These investments are spread over numerous privately-held middle market companies, and thus the sensitivity to a change in fair value for any single investment is limited. At June 30,December 31, 2020, investments totaling $276$371 million and $387 million, respectively, have been excluded from the table above as they are valued based on net asset value as a practical expedient. These investments primarily consist of certain SBIC funds.

For a description ofadditional information on the valuation techniques and significant inputs for Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, see “Note 18. Fair Value Disclosures” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value

For financial instruments not recorded at fair value, estimates of fair value are based on relevant market data and information about the instrument.instruments. Values obtained relate to trading without regard to any premium or discount that may result from concentrations of ownership, possible tax ramifications, estimated transaction costs that may result from bulk sales or the relationship between various instruments.

An active market does not exist for certain financial instruments. Fair value estimates for these instruments are based on current economic conditions currency and interest rate risk characteristics, loss experience and other factors. Many of these estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and cannot be determined with precision. Therefore, the fair value estimates in many instances cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets. In addition, changes in assumptions could significantly affect these fair value estimates. Financial assets and liabilities not recorded at fair value are summarized below:

Credit Derivative Instruments

As part of the Company’s corporate investment banking business, the Company enters into contracts that are, in form or substance, written guarantees; specifically, credit default swaps, risk participations, and TRS. The Company accounts for these contracts as derivatives.

The Company has entered into TRS contracts on loans. The Company’s TRS business consists of matched trades, such that when the Company pays depreciation on one TRS, it receives the same amount on the matched TRS. To mitigate its credit risk, the Company typically receives initial margin from the counterparty upon entering into the TRS and variation margin if the fair value of the underlying reference assets deteriorates. For additional information on the Company’s TRS contracts, see “Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies.”

Truist has entered into risk participation agreements to share the credit exposure with other financial institutions on client-related interest rate derivative contracts. Under these agreements, the Company has guaranteed payment to a dealer counterparty in the event the dealercounterparty experiences a loss on the derivative such as an interest rate swap, due to a failure to pay by the client, on that derivative.counterparty’s client. The Company manages its payment risk on its risk participations by monitoring the creditworthiness of the underlying client through the normal credit review process that the Company would have performed had it entered into a derivative directly with the obligors. At June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the remaining terms on these risk participations ranged from less than one year to 10 years. The potential future exposure represents the Company’s maximum estimated exposure to written risk participations, as measured by projecting a maximum value of the guaranteed derivative instruments based on scenario simulations and assuming 100%100 percent default by all obligors on the maximum value.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'SMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

This MD&A is intended to assist readers in their analysis of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and supplemental financial information. It should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, andthe accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, other information contained in this document, as well as information contained in the December 31, 2019with Truist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Government Response to COVID-19

Congress, the FRB and the other U.S. state and federal financial regulatory agencies, as well as state legislatures and officials, have taken actions to mitigate disruptions to economic activity and financial stability resulting from COVID-19 and may continue to evolve such approaches and requirements in ways that further impact the business of the Company. The descriptions below summarize certain significant government actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the particular statutory or regulatory provisions or government programs summarized.

The CARES Act

The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and subsequently has been amended several times. Among other provisions the CARES Act includes funding10-K for the Small Business Administration to expand lending, relief from certain U.S. GAAP requirements to allow COVID-19-related loan modifications to not be categorized as troubled debt restructurings and a range of incentives to encourage deferment, forbearance or modification of loans. One of the key CARES Act programs is the PPP, which temporarily expands the Small Business Administration’s business loan guarantee program through August 8, 2020. PPP loans are available to a broader range of entities than ordinary Small Business Administration loans, require deferral of principal and interest repayment, and the loan may be forgiven in an amount equal to payroll costs and certain other expenses during either an eight-week or 24-week covered period.

The CARES Act contains additional protections for homeowners and renters of properties with federally backed mortgages, including a 60-day moratorium on the initiation of foreclosure proceedings beginning on March 18, 2020 and a 120-day moratorium on initiating eviction proceedings effective March 27, 2020. Borrowers of federally backed mortgages have the right under the CARES Act to request up to 360 days of forbearance on their mortgage payments if they experience financial hardship directly or indirectly due to the coronavirus-related public health emergency. FNMA, FHLMC, FHA and VA have extended their moratorium on foreclosures and evictions for single-family federally backed mortgages until at least Augustyear ended December 31, 2020.

Also pursuant to the CARES Act, the U.S. Treasury has the authority to provide loans, guarantees and other investments in support of eligible businesses, states and municipalities affected by the economic effects of COVID-19. Some of these funds have been used to support the several FRB programs and facilities described below or additional programs or facilities that are established by the FRB under its Section 13(3) authority and meeting certain criteria.

FRB Actions

The FRB has taken a range of actions to support the flow of credit to households and businesses. For example, on March 15, 2020, the FRB reduced the target range for the federal funds rate to 0 to 0.25% and announced that it would increase its holdings of U.S. Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities and begin purchasing agency commercial mortgage-backed securities. The FRB has also encouraged depository institutions to borrow from the discount window and has lowered the primary credit rate for such borrowing by 150 basis points while extending the term of such loans up to 90 days. Reserve requirements have been reduced to zero as of March 26, 2020.

In addition, the FRB has established, or has taken steps to establish, a range of facilities and programs to support the U.S. economy and U.S. marketplace participants in response to economic disruptions associated with COVID-19. Through these facilities and programs, the FRB, relying on its authority under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, has taken steps to directly or indirectly purchase assets from, or make loans to, U.S. companies, financial institutions, municipalities and other market participants.

FRB facilities and programs established, or in the process of being established, include:

a PPP Liquidity Facility to provide financing related to PPP loans made by banks;
three Main Street Loan Facilities to purchase loan participations, under specified conditions, from banks lending to small and medium sized U.S. businesses;
a Primary Dealer Credit Facility to provide liquidity to primary dealers through a secured lending facility;
a Commercial Paper Funding Facility to purchase the commercial paper of certain U.S. issuers;
46 Truist Financial Corporation


a Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility to purchase corporate bonds directly from, or make loans directly to, eligible participants;
a Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility to purchase corporate bonds trading in secondary markets, including from exchange-traded funds, that were issued by eligible participants;
a Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility to make loans secured by asset-backed securities;
a Municipal Liquidity Facility to purchase bonds directly from U.S. state, city and county issuers; and
a Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility to purchase certain assets from, or make loans to, financial institutions providing financing to eligible money market mutual funds.

These facilities and programs are in various stages of development, and the Company and Truist Bank may participate in some or all of them, including as an agent or intermediary on behalf of clients or customers or in an advisory capacity.

Regulatory Considerations

The regulatory framework applicable to banking organizations is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the stability of the financial system, rather than for the protection of shareholders and creditors. Truist is subject to banking laws and regulations, and various other laws and regulations, which affect the operations and management of Truist and its ability to make distributions to shareholders. Truist and its subsidiaries are also subject to supervision and examination by multiple regulators. Refer to Truist'sTruist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 for additional disclosures with respect to significant laws and regulations affecting Truist.

The descriptions below summarize certain significant updates since the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 to state and federal laws to which Truist is subject. TheThese descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the particular statutory or regulatory provisions summarized. They do not summarize all possible or proposed changes in current laws or regulations, and are not intended to be a substitute for the related statues or regulatory provisions.

Stress Capital Buffer and CCAR

The FRB has adopted a final rule that integrates its annual capital planning and stress testing requirements with existing regulatory capital requirements. For risk-based capital requirements, the stress capital buffer replaces the existing capital conservation buffer, which is 2.5% as of January 1, 2019. Under the final rule, beginning in the 2020 CCAR cycle, Truist will be required to calculate a stress capital buffer equal to the greater of (i) the difference between its starting and minimum projected CET1 capital ratios under the severely adverse scenario in the supervisory stress test, plus the sum of the dollar amount of Truist’s planned common stock dividends for each of the fourth through seventh quarters of the planning horizon as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, or (ii) 2.5%.

The final rule also makes related changes to the capital planning and stress testing process. Among other changes, the revised capital plan rule eliminates the assumption that Truist’s balance sheet assets would increase over the planning horizon. In addition, provided that Truist is otherwise in compliance with automatic restrictions on distributions under the FRB’s capital rules, Truist will no longer be required to seek prior approval to make capital distributions in excess of those included in its capital plan.

On June 25, 2020,March 19, 2021, the FRB provided Truist with a preliminary SCBannounced the temporary exclusion of 2.7% and will provide the final SCB by August 31, 2020. The SCB will be effective from October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021, at which point a revised SCB will be calculated and provided to Truist. Truist has reviewed the results of the 2020 CCAR supervisory stress test and noted that the modeled outcomes shown by the FRB differ from those calculated by the Company. Truist believes those differences are attributable to the application of purchase accounting associated with the Merger. Purchase accounting adjustments could result in a reduction in provision expense and an increase in pre-provision net revenue. These differences could result in higher capital ratios than were reflected in the CCAR results.

At the same time, the FRB took several actions following its stress tests in light of the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, for the third quarter of 2020, the FRB will require certain large banking organizations, including Truist, to suspend share repurchases, cap dividend payments to the amount paid in the second quarter, and further limit dividends according to a formula based on recent income. The FRB is also requiring banks to re-evaluate their longer-term capital plans.

These large banking organizations, including Truist, will be required to resubmit and update their capital plans later this year to reflect current stresses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the FRB will conduct additional analysis each quarter to determine if adjustments to this response are appropriate.

Revisions to Definition of Eligible Retained Income

The U.S. banking agencies have adopted an interim final rule altering the definition of eligible retained income in their respective capital rules. Under the new rule, eligible retained income is the greater of a firm’s (i) net income for the four preceding calendar quarters, net of any distributions and associated tax effects not already reflected in net income, and (ii) average net income over the preceding four quarters. This definition applies with respect to all of Truist’s capital requirements. The interim final rule became effective March 20, 2020.

Current Expected Credit Losses Methodology

The U.S. banking agencies have adopted an interim final rule that permits banking organizations that implement CECL before the end of 2020 to elect to follow the three-year transition available under the prior rule or a new five-year transition to phase in the effects of CECL on regulatory capital. Under the five-year transition, the banking organization would defer for two years 100% of the day-one effect of adopting CECL and 25% of the cumulative increase in the allowance for credit losses since adoption of CECL. Following the first two years, the electing organization will phase out the aggregate capital effects over the next three years consistent with the transition in the original three-year transition rule. The interim final rule became effective March 31, 2020. Truist has elected to use the five-year transition to phase in the impacts of CECL on regulatory capital.

Supplementary Leverage Ratio

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the FRB has adopted an interim final rule that temporarily changes the supplementary leverage ratio to exclude U.S. Treasury securities and deposits at Federal Reserve Banksthe FRB from the calculation of a firm’sthe supplementary leverage exposure. The interim final rule applies to BHCs and became effective April 1, 2020 andratio will remain in effect throughexpire as scheduled on March 31, 2021; this temporary relief added 24 basis points to the Company’s supplementary leverage ratio as of March 31, 2021. The FRB also announced plans to propose several potential modifications to the supplementary leverage ratio to ensure that the supplementary leverage ratio remains effective in an environment of higher reserves, though such proposal had not been published as of the date of this report.

Loan modifications

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, banking regulators have encouraged financial institutions to support borrowers impacted by COVID-19. Refer to “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” for Truist’s policy related to COVID-19 loan modifications.

CARES Act

In addition to authorizing several programs to provide loans, guarantees and other investments in support of eligible organizations, states and municipalities affected by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the CARES Act also includes several measures that temporarily adjust existing laws or regulations. These include providing the FDIC with additional authority to guarantee the deposits of solvent insured depository institutions held in noninterest-bearing business transaction accounts to a maximum amount specified by the FDIC, reinstating the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Authority to guarantee debt obligations of solvent insured depository institutions or depository institution holding companies, and temporarily allowing the Treasury to fully guarantee money market mutual funds. The CARES Act also provides financial institutions with the option to suspend certain GAAP requirements for coronavirus-related loan modifications that would otherwise constitute troubled debt restructurings and further requires the federal banking agencies to defer to financial institutions’ determinations in making such suspensions.

TDRs occur when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties in the near term and a concession has been granted to the borrower. As a result, Truist works with borrowers to prevent further difficulties and to improve the likelihood of recovery on thea loan. To facilitate this process, a concessionary modification that would not otherwise be considered may be granted, resulting in classification of the loan as a TDR. In accordance with the CARES Act, Truist implemented loan modification programs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in order to provide borrowers with flexibility with respect to repayment terms. These loanPayment relief assistance provided by Truist includes forbearance, deferrals, extension, and re-aging programs, along with certain other modification strategies.

Truist monitors the performance of its home equity loans and lines secured by second liens similarly to other consumer loans and utilizes assumptions specific to these loans in determining the necessary ALLL. Truist also receives notification when the first lien holder, whether Truist or another financial institution, has initiated foreclosure proceedings against the borrower. When notified that the first lien is in the process of foreclosure, Truist obtains valuations to determine if any additional charge-offs or reserves are warranted. These valuations are updated at least annually thereafter.

Truist has limited ability to monitor the delinquency status of the first lien, unless the first lien is held or serviced by Truist. As a result, using migration assumptions that are based on historical experience and adjusted for current trends, Truist estimates the volume of second lien positionsloans where the first lien is delinquent and adjusts the ALLL to reflectbased on historical experience; the increased risk of loss on these credits. Finally, Truist also provides additional reserves for second lien positions whencredits is reflected in the estimated combined current loan to value ratio for the credit exceeds 100%.ALLL. As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, Truist held or serviced the first lien on 31.0%30.2 percent of its second lien positions.

Market risk managementRisk

Market risk is the risk to current or anticipated earnings, capital, or economic value arising from changes in the market value of portfolios, securities, or other financial instruments. Market risk results from changes in the level, volatility, or correlations among financial market risk factors or prices, including interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates, equity, and commodity prices.

Effective management of market risk is essential to achieving Truist'sTruist’s strategic financial objectives. Truist'sTruist’s most significant market risk exposure is to interest rate risk in its balance sheet; however, market risk also results from underlying product liquidity risk, price risk, and volatility risk in Truist'sTruist’s BUs. Interest rate risk results from differences between the timing of rate changes and the timing of cash flows associated with assets and liabilities (re-pricing risk); from changing rate relationships among different yield curves affecting bank activities (basis risk); from changing rate relationships across the spectrum of maturities (yield curve risk); and from interest-related options inherently embedded in bank products (options risk).

The primary objectives of effective market risk management are to minimize adverse effects from changes in market risk factors on net interest income, net income, and capital, and to offset the risk of price changes for certain assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. At Truist, market risk management also includes the enterprise-wide IPV function.

Interest rate market risk (other than trading)Rate Market Risk

As a financial institution, Truist is exposed to interest rate risk both on its assets and on its liabilities. Since interest rate changes are out of the control of any private sector institution, Truist actively manages its interest rate risk exposure through the strategic repricing of its assets and liabilities, taking into account the volumes, maturities, and mix, with the goal of keeping net interest margin as stable as possible. Truist primarily uses three methods to measure and monitor its interest rate risk: (i) simulations of possible changes to net interest income over the next two years based on gradual changes in interest rates; (ii) analysis of interest rate shock scenarios; and (iii) analysis of economic value of equity based on changes in interest rates.

Truist Financial Corporation 53


The Company’s simulation model takes into account assumptions related to prepayment trends, using a combination of market data and internal historical experiences for deposits and loans, as well as scheduled maturities and payments, and the expected outlook for the economy and interest rates. These assumptions are reviewed and adjusted monthly to reflect changes in current interest rates compared to the rates applicable to Truist’s assets and liabilities. The model also considers Truist'sTruist’s current and prospective liquidity position, current balance sheet volumes, and projected growth and/or contractions, accessibility of funds for short-term needs and capital maintenance.

Deposit betas are an important assumption in the interest rate risk modeling process. Truist applies an average deposit beta (the sensitivity of deposit rate changes relative to market rate changes) of approximately 50%50 percent to its non-maturity interest-bearing deposit accounts forwhen determining its interest rate sensitivity. Non-maturity, interest-bearing deposit accounts include interest checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts that do not have a contractual maturity. Truist also regularly conducts sensitivity analyses on other key variables, including noninterest-bearing deposits, to determine the impact theythese variables could have on the Company’s interest rate risk position. The predictive value of the simulation model depends upon the accuracy of the assumptions, but management believes that it provides helpful information for the management of interest rate risk.

The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on net interest income as projected for the next 12 months assuming a gradual change in interest rates as described below.

Rate sensitivity increased compared to the prior periods, primarily driven by loan and deposit mix changes related to the Merger and recent activity, increased fixed rate funding, and increased noninterest-bearing deposits.deposits as a result of government stimulus programs.

Management considers how the interest rate risk position could be impacted by changes in balance sheet mix. Liquidity in the banking industry has been very strong during the current economic cycle. Much of this liquidity increase has resulted in growth in noninterest-bearing demand deposits. Consistent with the industry, Truist Financial Corporation 71has seen a significant increase in this funding source. The behavior of these deposits is one of the most important assumptions used in determining the interest rate risk position of Truist. A decrease in the amount of these deposits in the future would reduce the asset sensitivity of Truist’s balance sheet because the Company would increase interest-bearing funds to offset the loss of this advantageous funding source.


The following table shows the results of Truist’s interest-rate sensitivity position assuming the loss of demand deposits and an associated increase in managed rate deposits under various scenarios. For purposes of this analysis, Truist modeled the incremental beta of managed rate deposits for the replacement of the demand deposits at 100 percent.

(1)The base scenario is equal to the annualized hypothetical percentage change in net interest income at March 31, 2021 as presented in the preceding table.

Truist also uses an EVE analysis to focus on longer-term projected changes in asset and liability values given potential changes in interest rates. This measure allows Truist to analyze interest rate risk that falls outside the net interest income simulation period. The EVE model is a discounted cash flow of the portfolio of assets, liabilities, and derivative instruments. The difference in the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities is defined as EVE.

Truist uses financial instruments including derivatives to manage interest rate risk related to securities, commercial loans, MSRs, and mortgage banking operations, long-term debt, and other funding sources. Truist also uses derivatives to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients and as part of associated hedging activities. As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, Truist had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $321.8$311.6 billion, with an associated net fair value of $3.8$2.2 billion. See "Note 16.“Note 15. Derivative Financial Instruments"Instruments” for additional disclosures.

LIBOR in its current form maywas anticipated to no longer be available after 2021. For most tenors of U.S. dollar LIBOR, the administrator of LIBOR is extending publication until June 30, 2023. Tenors used infrequently by Truist, including one week and two month U.S. dollar LIBOR, are still anticipated to cease publication at December 31, 2021, based on this new guidance. Truist has U.S. dollar LIBOR-based contracts that extend beyond 2021.June 30, 2023. To prepare for the possible transition to an alternative reference rate, management has formed a cross-functional project team to address the LIBOR transition. The project team has performed an assessment to identify the potential risks related to the transition from LIBOR to a new index.

In 2020, Truist began offering SOFR-based lending solutions to wholesale and consumer clients and entered into SOFR-based derivative contracts. Truist expects SOFR to become a more commonly-used pricing benchmark across the industry. Truist continues to evaluate SOFR for additional product offerings and other alternative reference rates as replacements for LIBOR.

Market risk from trading activities

As a financial intermediary, Truist provides its clients access to derivatives, foreign exchange and securities markets, which generate market risks. Trading market risk is managed using a comprehensive risk management approach, which includes measuring risk using VaR, stress testing, and sensitivity analysis. Risk metrics are monitored against a suite of limits on a daily basis at both the trading desk level and at the aggregate portfolio level, which is intended to ensure that exposures are in line with Truist'sTruist’s risk appetite.

Truist is also subject to risk-based capital guidelines for market risk under the Market Risk Rule.

Covered trading positionsTrading Positions

Covered positions subject to the Market Risk Rule include trading assets and liabilities, specifically those held for the purpose of short-term resale or with the intent of benefiting from actual or expected short-term price movements or to lock in arbitrage profits. Truist’s trading portfolio of covered positions results primarily from market making and underwriting services for ourthe Company’s clients, as well as associated risk mitigating hedging activity. The trading portfolio, measured in terms of VaR, consists primarily of four sub-portfolios of covered positions: (i) credit trading, (ii) fixed income securities, (iii) interest rate derivatives, and (iv) equity derivatives. As a market maker across different asset classes, Truist’s trading portfolio also contains other sub-portfolios, including foreign exchange, loan trading, and commodity derivatives; however, these portfolios do not generate material trading risk exposures.

Valuation policies procedures, and methodologies exist for all covered positions. Additionally, trading positions are subject to independent price verification. See "Note 16.“Note 15. Derivative Financial Instruments,” "Note 15.“Note 14. Fair Value Disclosures,” and “Critical Accounting Policies” herein for discussion of valuation policies procedures and methodologies.

Securitizations

As of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the aggregate market value of on-balance sheet securitization positions subject to the Market Risk Rule was less than $1$30 million, all of which were non-agency asset backed securities positions. Consistent with the Market Risk Rule requirements, the Company performs pre-purchase due diligence on each securitization position to identify the characteristics including, but not limited to, deal structure and the asset quality of the underlying assets, that materially affect valuation and performance. Securitization positions are subject to Truist’s comprehensive risk management framework, which includes daily monitoring against a suite of limits. There were no off-balance sheet securitization positions during the reporting period.

Correlation trading positionsTrading Positions

The trading portfolio of covered positions did not contain any correlation trading positions as of June 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.

VaR-based measuresVaR-Based Measures

VaR measures the potential loss of a given position or portfolio of positions at a specified confidence level and time horizon. Truist utilizes a historical VaR methodology to measure and aggregate risks across its covered trading positions. Following the Merger, Truist elected to migrate all covered positions to the heritage SunTrust VaR system and methodology. For an interim period, however, VaR for a subset of heritage BB&T positions, specifically those covered positions held in BB&T Securities, will be calculated using the heritage BB&T VaR system and methodology. As such, pending full integration, Truist will operate two historical VaR models and aggregate company-wide VaR across the systems will be determined additively with no benefit of diversification. For risk management purposes, the VaR calculation is based on a historical simulation approach and measures the potential trading losses using a one-day holding period at a one-tail, 99%99 percent confidence level. For Market Risk Rule purposes, the Company calculates VaR using a 10-day holding period and a 99%99 percent confidence level. Due to inherent limitations of the VaR methodology, such as the assumption that past market behavior is indicative of future market performance, VaR is only one of several tools used to measure and manage market risk. Other tools used to actively manage market risk include stress testing, profit and loss attribution, and stop loss limits.

The trading portfolio’s VaR profile is influenced by a variety of factors, including the size and composition of the portfolio, market volatility, and the correlation between different positions. A portfolio of trading positions is typically less risky than the sum of the risk from each of the individual sub-portfolios. As such,sub-portfolios, because, under normal market conditions, risk within each category partially offsets the exposure to other risk categories thereby creating portfolio diversification benefit.categories. The following table summarizes certain VaR-based measures for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and 2019. The increase from the prior year was mainly due to the integration of the heritage SunTrust trading business and the2020. Heightened market volatility due toexperienced during March 2020 significantly impacted the COVID-19 pandemic. As illustrated in the table below, the inclusion of volatility levels observed in March and April in the 12 month VaR historic look back window led to a convergence between VaR and other stressed measures of risk based on risk factors observed during the 2008/2009 financial crisis.year-over-year comparison.

For most of the first quarter of 2021, the rolling 12-month VaR historic look-back window incorporated the peak March 2020 volatility, which contributed to the increase in Average and Maximum VaR. VaR as of March 31, 2021 declined compared to March 31, 2020 as this volatile period in March 2020 aged out of the 12-month VaR look-back window, partially offset by the normalization of inventory levels in March 2021 compared to March 2020.

Stressed VaR, another component of market risk capital, is calculated using the same internal models as used for the VaR-based measure. Stressed VaR is calculated over a ten-day holding period at a one-tail, 99%99 percent confidence level and employs a historical simulation approach based on a continuous twelve-month historical window selected to reflect a period of significant financial stress for ourthe Company’s trading portfolio.

Specific risk measuresRisk Measures

Specific risk is a measure of idiosyncratic risk that could result from risk factors other than broad market movements (e.g. default, event risks). The Market Risk Rule provides fixed risk weights under a standardized measurement method while also allowing a model-based approach, subject to regulatory approval. Truist utilizes the standardized measurement method to calculate the specific risk component of market risk regulatory capital. As such, incremental risk capital requirements do not apply.

VaR model backtestingModel Backtesting

In accordance with the Market Risk Rule, the Company evaluates the accuracy of its VaR model through daily backtesting by comparing aggregate daily trading gains and losses (excluding fees, commissions, reserves, net interest income, and intraday trading) from covered positions with the corresponding daily VaR-based measures generated by the model.

There As illustrated in the following graph, there were nine company-wideno Company-wide VaR backtesting exceptions during the twelve months ended June 30, 2020, primarily driven byMarch 31, 2021.

Model risk managementRisk Management

MRM is responsible for the independent model validation of all decision tools and models including trading market risk models. The validation activities are conducted in accordance with MRM policy, which incorporates regulatory guidance related to the evaluation of model conceptual soundness, ongoing monitoring, and outcomes analysis. As part of ongoing monitoring efforts, the performance of all trading risk models are reviewed regularly to preemptively address emerging developments in financial markets, assess evolving modeling approaches, and to identify potential model enhancement.

Stress testingTesting

The Company uses a comprehensive range of stress testing techniques to help monitor risks across trading desks and to augment standard daily VaR and other risk limits reporting. The stress testing framework is designed to quantify the impact of extreme, but plausible, stress scenarios that could lead to large unexpected losses. Stress tests include simulations for historical repeats and hypothetical risk factor shocks. All trading positions within each applicable market risk category (interest rate risk, equity risk, foreign exchange rate risk, credit spread risk, and commodity price risk) are included in the Company'sCompany’s comprehensive stress testing framework. Management reviews stress testing scenarios on an ongoing basis and makes updates, as necessary, which is intended to ensure that both current and emerging risks are captured appropriately. Management also utilizes stress analyses to support the Company’s capital adequacy assessment standards. See the “Capital” section of this MD&A for additional discussion of capital adequacy.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents the continuing ability to meet funding needs, including deposit withdrawals, repayment of borrowings and other liabilities, and funding of loan commitments. In addition to the level of liquid assets, such as cash, cash equivalents, and AFS securities, other factors affect the ability to meet liquidity needs, including access to a variety of funding sources, maintaining borrowing capacity, growing core deposits, loan repayment, and the ability to securitize or package loans for sale.

Truist monitors the ability to meet client demand for funds under both normal and stressed market conditions. In considering its liquidity position, management evaluates Truist'sTruist’s funding mix based on client core funding, client rate-sensitive funding and national markets funding. In addition, management evaluates exposure to rate-sensitive funding sources that mature in one year or less. Management also measures liquidity needs against 30 days of stressed cash outflows for Truist and Truist Bank. To ensure a strong liquidity position and compliance with regulatory requirements, management maintains a liquid asset buffer of cash on hand and highly liquid unencumbered securities. As of June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019, Truist's2020, Truist’s liquid asset buffer, as a percent of total assets, was 17.8%23.2 percent and 16.5%,20.2 percent, respectively.

The LCR rule directs large U.S. banking organizations to hold unencumbered high-quality liquid assets sufficient to withstand projected 30-day total net cash outflows, each as defined under the LCR rule. As of January 1, 2020, Truist is subject to the Category III reduced LCR requirements (85% of the full requirements). Truist'srequirements.

The ability to raise funding at competitive prices is affected by the rating agencies'agencies’ views of the Parent Company'sCompany’s and Truist Bank'sBank’s credit quality, liquidity, capital, and earnings. Management meets with the rating agencies on a regular basis to discuss current outlooks. In April 2020, DBRS revised its outlook forThere were no changes to the ratings of Truist andor Truist Bank from “positive” to “stable,” citing economic deterioration related to COVID-19. DBRS affirmed all other ratings for Truist and Truist Bank. Additionally, Fitch revised its outlook for Truist and Truist Bank from “stable” to “negative,” also citing pandemic-related economic deterioration. Fitch downgraded Truist’s subordinated debt to A-, and upgraded Truist’s preferred stock to BBB, in order to align these ratings to its recently revised bankby the major rating methodology. In July 2020, Fitch completedagencies during the implementation of its revised bank rating methodology. As a result, Fitch downgraded Truist’s senior unsecured debt to A and affirmed Truist Bank’s senior unsecured and subordinated debt ratings.

Parent Company

The Parent Company serves as the primary source of capital for the operating subsidiaries. The Parent Company'sCompany’s assets consist primarily of cash on deposit with Truist Bank, equity investments in subsidiaries, advances to subsidiaries, and accountsnotes receivable from subsidiaries. The principal obligations of the Parent Company are payments on long-term debt. The main sources of funds for the Parent Company are dividends and management fees from subsidiaries, repayments of advances to subsidiaries, and proceeds from the issuance of equity and long-term debt. The primary uses of funds by the Parent Company are investments in subsidiaries, advances to subsidiaries, dividend payments to common and preferred shareholders, retirement of common stock, and payments on long-term debt.

Access to funding at the Parent Company is more sensitive to market disruptions. Therefore, Truist prudently manages cash levels at the Parent Company to cover a minimum of one year of projected cash outflows which includes unfunded external commitments, debt service, common and preferred dividends and scheduled debt maturities, without the benefit of any new cash inflows. Truist maintains a significant buffer above the projected one year of cash outflows. In determining the buffer, Truist considers cash requirements for common and preferred dividends, unfunded commitments to affiliates, serving as a source of strength to Truist Bank, and being able to withstand sustained market disruptions that could limit access to the capital markets. At June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Parent Company had 4140 months and 2943 months, respectively, of cash on hand to satisfy projected cash outflows, and 2122 months and 20 months, respectively,at each such date when including the payment of common stock dividends.

Truist Bank

Truist carefully manages liquidity risk at Truist Bank. Truist Bank'sBank’s primary source of funding is client deposits. Continued access to client deposits is highly dependent on public confidence in the stability of Truist Bank and its ability to return funds to clients when requested.

Truist Bank maintains a number of diverse funding sources to meet its liquidity requirements. These sources include unsecured borrowings from the capital markets through the issuance of senior or subordinated bank notes, institutional CDs, overnight and term Federal funds markets, and retail brokered CDs. Truist Bank also maintains access to secured borrowing sources including FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, and the FRB discount window. At June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, Truist Bank had approximately $166.1$203.4 billion of available secured borrowing capacity, which represents approximately 4.310.7 times the amount of one-year wholesale funding maturities.maturities in one-year or less. In addition to secured borrowing sources, Truist had excess eligible cash at the Federal Reserve Bank of $35.8$26.8 billion at June 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.

Truist regularly performs stress testing on its capital levels and is required to periodically submit the Company'sCompany’s capital plans and stress testing results to the banking regulators. Management regularly monitors the capital position of Truist on both a consolidated and bank-level basis. In this regard, management'smanagement’s overriding policy is to maintain capital at levels that are in excess of internal capital targets, which are above the regulatory "well capitalized"“well capitalized” minimums. Management has implemented stressed capital ratio minimum targets to evaluate whether capital ratios calculated after the effect of alternative capital actions are likely to remain above minimums specified by the FRB for the annual CCAR process. Breaches of stressed minimum targets prompt a review of the planned capital actions included in Truist'sTruist’s capital plan.

Management’s intention is 20 basis points aboveto maintain an approximate 10 percent Common Equity Tier 1 ratio after considering strategic actions such as non-bank acquisitions or stock repurchases, as well as changes in risk-weighted assets. For the existing Capital Conservation Buffer. The Federal Reserve will providesecond quarter of 2021, Truist its final SCB by August 31, 2020. The SCB will be effective from October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021, at which point a revised SCB will be calculated and providedintends to Truist. Consistentexecute share repurchases consistent with the Federal Reserve’s mandate across the industry, Truistcapital restrictions announced on March 25, 2021. In addition to these restrictions, any future stock repurchase activity will be required to updateinformed by economic and resubmit itsregulatory considerations, as well as Truist’s capital plan later this year to reflect changes in financial marketsposition, dividends, earnings outlook, and the macroeconomic outlook. Truist has reviewed the results of the 2020 CCAR supervisory stress test and noted that the modeled outcomes shown by the FRB differ from those calculated by the Company. Truist believes those differences are attributable to the application of purchase accounting associated with the Merger. Purchase accounting adjustments could result in a reduction in provision expense and an increase in pre-provision net revenue. These differences could result in higher capital ratios than were reflected in the CCAR results.deployment priorities.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Truist are in accordance with GAAP and conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. Truist'sTruist’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management'smanagement’s application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions, and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities, and amounts reported for revenues and expenses. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the consolidated financial position and/or consolidated results of operations, and related disclosures. The more critical policies include accounting for the ACL, determining fair value of financial instruments, intangible assets, income taxes, and costs and benefit obligations associated with pension and postretirement benefit plans. Understanding Truist'sTruist’s accounting policies is fundamental to understanding the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations. The critical accounting policies are discussed in MD&A in Truist'sTruist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. Significant accounting policies and changes in accounting principles and effects of new accounting pronouncements are discussed in “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. Additional disclosures regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in the “Note 1. Basis of Presentation” included herein. Except for the itemsitem noted below, there have been no other changes to the significant accounting policies during 2020.2021.

Intangible Assets

The severe economic disruption and related financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted Truist’s businesses. Truist’s commercial clients have experienced varying levels of disruptions to business activity, supply chains and demand for products and services. Additionally, many consumer clients have experienced interrupted income or unemployment. The pandemic also has resulted in continuing volatility to the global and U.S. financial markets, although intensive relief actions by the U.S. Congress and regulatory agencies intended to mitigate the extent of adverse economic effects have stabilized financial markets and liquidity, including with respect to equity prices and corporate credit spreads for Truist and the banking sector, in comparison to the prior quarter.

As a result of these considerations, TruistCompany performed a qualitative assessment of current events and circumstances during the goodwill carried by the CB&W, C&CB and IH reporting units for impairment in the secondfirst quarter of 2020 to determine whether it was more-likely-than-not the fair value of one or more of its reporting units was below its respective carrying amount as of period-end. In performing this assessment, Truist considered2021, including macroeconomic and market factors, industry and banking sector events, Truist specific performance indicators, and a sensitivity analysis oncomparison of management’s forecast and assumptions and Truist specific performance indicators, including any changes from when the Merger closedto those used in December 2019. Despite the adverse economic and still uncertain environment caused by the pandemic, Truist’s second quarterits October 1, 2020 results reflected profitable performance across each of its reporting units; strong capital and liquidity levels that have facilitated swift actions in support of clients, teammates and communities; and Truist’s affirmation that it remains committed to achieving its Merger value proposition, including targeted net cost saves.

Based on the qualitative assessment performed, Truist concludedquantitative impairment test, concluding that it was not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of one or more of its reporting units is below its respective carrying amount as of June 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, and therefore no triggering event occurred that required a quantitative goodwill impairment test. If economic conditions deteriorate, or the pandemic’s effects prolong or worsen, it may be more-likely-than-not that the fair value of one or more of Truist’s reporting units falls below its respective carrying amount, which would require a quantitative goodwill impairment test.

ACL

Truist's policy is to maintain an ACL, which represents management's best estimate of expected future credit losses related to the loan and lease portfolios and off-balance sheet lending commitments at the balance sheet date. Estimates of expected future loan and lease losses are determined by using statistical models and management’s judgement. The models are designed to forecast probability of default, exposure at default and loss given default by correlating certain macroeconomic variables to historical experience. The models are generally applied at the portfolio level to pools of loans with similar risk characteristics. The macroeconomic data used in the models is based on forecasted variables for the reasonable and supportable period of two years. Beyond this forecast period the models gradually revert to an historical average over a one year period. Expected losses are estimated through contractual maturity, giving appropriate consideration to expected prepayments unless the borrower has a right to renew that is not cancellable or it is reasonably expected that the loan will be modified as a TDR.

A qualitative allowance which incorporates management’s judgement is also included in the estimation of expected future loan and lease losses, including qualitative adjustments in circumstances where the model output is inconsistent with management’s expectations with respect to expected credit losses. This allowance is used to capture risks in the portfolio such as considerations with respect to the impact of current economic events, the outcomes of which are uncertain. These events may include, but are not limited to, political conditions, legislation that may directly or indirectly affect the banking industry and economic conditions affecting specific geographical areas and industries in which Truist conducts business.

Loans and leases that do not share similar risk characteristics and significant loans that are considered collateral-dependent are individually evaluated. For these loans, the ALLL is determined through review of data specific to the borrower and related collateral, if any. For TDRs, default expectations and estimated prepayment speeds that are specific to each of the restructured loan populations are incorporated in the determination of the ALLL.

The methodology used to determine an estimate for the RUFC is inherently similar to that used to determine the funded component of the ALLL and is measured over the period there is a contractual obligation to extend credit that is not unconditionally cancellable. The RUFC is adjusted for factors specific to binding commitments, including the probability of funding and exposure at default. A detailed discussion of the methodology used in determining the ACL is included in "Note 1. Basis of Presentation."

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Refer to the Legal ProceedingLitigation and Regulatory Matters section in “Note 14.13. Commitments and Contingencies,” which is incorporated by reference into this item.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following risk factor supplementsThere have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Truist'sTruist’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to Truist or that management has deemed to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect Truist'sTruist’s business, financial condition, or operating results.

The effects of COVID-19 have adversely impacted, and will likely continue to adversely impact, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely disrupted almost all economic activity in the U.S. Despite the partial lifting of federal and state shelter-in-place orders, some of which have been renewed, it remains unknown when there will be a return to normal economic activity due to the recent rise in cases, and increased economic stress associated with the pandemic. Truist has temporarily limited access to certain offices, limited branches to drive-thru and appointment only, suspended some services and the majority of the Company’s workforce is working remotely. Commercial clients are experiencing varying levels of disruptions or restrictions on their business activity and supply chains, closures of facilities or decreases in demand for their products and services. Consumer clients are experiencing interrupted income or unemployment. Certain industries have been particularly susceptible to the effects of the pandemic, such as hotels, resorts, cruise lines, oil and gas companies, senior and acute care facilities, restaurants, and other sensitive retail businesses, and Truist has outstanding loans to clients in these industries. In addition, in March 2020, Moody’s Investor Services downgraded its outlook on U.S. banks to “negative” from “stable” due in part to the concerns presented by the pandemic. The global financial markets have also experienced significant volatility. The duration of this severe economic disruption and its related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The effects of the pandemic have already resulted in an increase in the allowance for credit losses, a reduction of fee income, a reduction of net interest margin and an increase in expenses. Prolonged continuation of current conditions could worsen these impacts and also affect the Company’s capital and liquidity position, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the value of collateral securing loans, cause an outflow of deposits, cause significant property damage, in case of civil unrest or vandalism, influence the recognition of credit losses on loans and securities and further increase the allowance for credit losses, result in additional lost revenue, cause additional increases in expenses, result in goodwill impairment charges, result in the impairment of other financial and nonfinancial assets, and increase the Company’s cost of capital.

Intensive government actions to mitigate the economic suffering caused by the pandemic may not be successful or may result in increased pressure on the banking sector. Net interest margin has been, and is likely to continue to be, affected by the very low interest rate environment. The application of forbearance and payment deferral policies beyond any statutory requirements may impact Truist’s interest income. Truist participated in the SBA’s PPP as an eligible lender with the benefit of a government guaranty of loans to small business clients, many of whom may face difficulties even after being granted such a loan. The Company has registered to participate in Federal Reserve supported lending programs for Main Street-eligible borrowers as well. The Company faces increased risks, in terms of credit, fraud risk and litigation, in light of participation in these programs. Truist has already been named in several lawsuits relating to its participation in the PPP.

It is possible that the pandemic and its aftermath will lead to a prolonged economic slowdown or recession in the U.S. economy or the world economy in general. The ultimate impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operation, and liquidity and capital position will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and the actions to contain or treat its impact. Moreover, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will heighten the other risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K.
