FULTON FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Fulton Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2018. Operating results for the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.2019. The Corporation evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing of this Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").


Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASC Update 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." This standards update requires a lessee to recognize for all leases with an initial term greater than twelve months: (1) a "right-of-use" ("ROU") asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term; and (2) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, each measured on a discounted basis. This standards update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Corporation adopted ASC Update 2016-02 in the first quarter of 2019 using the alternative transition method, which eliminates the requirement to restate the earliest prior period presented in an entity’s financial statements. As such, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019.

This standards update provides for a number of practical expedients in transition. The Corporation elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which, among other things, allowed it to carryforward the prior conclusions on lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. In addition, the Corporation elected to not separate lease and non-lease components. The Corporation did not elect the practical expedient to apply hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of the ROU assets. See "Note 6 - Leases" for additional information and expanded lessee disclosures.

This standards update also provides additional guidance on lessor accounting. The Corporation provides equipment lease financing to its customers, which are categorized as direct financing leases. The adoption of this standards update did not result in any changes to the accounting for this type of lease as the lessor.




















Recently Issued Accounting Standards


In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC Update 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This standards update establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle prescribed by this standards update is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard applies to all contracts with customers, except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB ASC. The standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. The FASB has issued amendments to this standard (ASC Updates 2016-08, 2016-10, 2016-11, 2016-12 and 2017-13). These amendments provide further clarification to the standard. For public business entities, ASC Update 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. For the Corporation, this standards update is effective with its March 31, 2018 quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Corporation has evaluated the impact of the adoption of ASC Update 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and has not identified any significant changes in the timing of revenue recognition as a result of this amended guidance at this time. In addition, the Corporation is evaluating the expanded disclosure requirements included in the update. The Corporation plans to adopt this update on January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective approach and does not expect the adoption of ASC Update 2014-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

StandardDescriptionDate of Anticipated AdoptionEffect on Financial Statements
ASC Update 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
The new impairment model prescribed by this standards update is a single impairment model for all financial assets (i.e., loans and held to maturity investments). The recognition of credit losses would be based on an entity’s current estimate of expected losses (referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss model, or "CECL"), as opposed to recognition of losses only when they are incurred under current GAAP. This update also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized cost, loans and available-for-sale debt securities. Entities will apply the standard's provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. This adjustment will also be recognized in regulatory capital. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASC Update 2018-19, "Codifications Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" which clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are accounted for using lease guidance and not as financial instruments.

ASC Update 2019-04 and 2019-05 were issued to provide certain clarifications and transition relief to adopting this standards update.
First Quarter of 2020The Corporation intends to adopt these standards updates effective with its March 31, 2020 quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Corporation believes that total credit loss reserves will increase at the adoption date and that the magnitude of the increase will depend on the composition, characteristics and quality of its loan portfolio and off balance sheet credit exposures as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date. The Corporation is in the early stages of conducting parallel runs of its new processes and controls and is beginning its model validation process. The Corporation will continue to make refinements to its credit loss model throughout the remainder of 2019.
ASC Update 2017-04 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill ImpairmentThe FASB issued this update to simplify the subsequent quantitative measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, identifying and measuring impairment will take place in a single quantitative step. In addition, no separate qualitative assessment for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts is required. Entities must disclose the existence of these reporting units and the amount of goodwill allocated to them. This update should be applied on a prospective basis, and an entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. This update is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted.Fourth Quarter of 2020, in line with its annual impairment testing in October of each yearThe Corporation does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Corporation has not needed to perform step 2 since its 2012 impairment testing.
ASC Update 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value MeasurementThis update changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820 "Fair Value Measurement." Among other things, the update modifies the disclosure objective paragraphs of ASC 820 to eliminate: (1) "at a minimum" from the phrase "an entity shall disclose at a minimum;" and (2) other similar disclosure requirements to promote the appropriate exercise of discretion by entities.First Quarter of 2020The Corporation intends to adopt this standards update effective with its March 31, 2020 quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This standard will impact the Corporation's Fair Value Measurement disclosure, but the Corporation does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASC Update 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." ASC Update 2016-01 provides guidance regarding the income statement impact of equity investments held by an entity and the recognition of changes in fair value of financial liabilities when the fair value option is elected. This standard will require equity investments to be measured at fair value, with changes recorded in net income. ASC Update 2016-01 is effective for public business entities' annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with earlier adoption permitted.The Corporation intends to adopt this standards update effective with its March 31, 2018 quarterly report on Form 10-Q and does not expect the adoption of ASC Update 2016-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.



In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC Update 2016-02, "Leases." This standards update states that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from all leases with a term greater than 12 months. The core principle requires the lessee to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a "right-of-use" asset. The accounting applied by the lessor is relatively unchanged. The standards update also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures. In September of 2017, the FASB issued clarifying guidance to this standard (ASC Update 2017-13). For public business entities, ASC Update 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ASC Update 2016-02 mandates a modified retrospective transition for all entities, which requires restatement of all comparative periods in the year of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. For the Corporation, this standards update is effective with its March 31, 2019 quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASC Update 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements. The Corporation currently operates a number of branches that are leased, with the leases accounted for as operating leases that are not recognized on the consolidated balance sheet. Under ASC Update 2016-02, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities will need to be recognized on the consolidated balance sheet for these branches, which will also have an impact on regulatory capital ratios. The recognition

StandardDescriptionDate of Anticipated AdoptionEffect on Financial Statements
ASC Update 2018-14 Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit PlansThis update amends ASC Topic 715-20 to add, remove, and clarify disclosure requirements related to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted.First Quarter of 2021The Corporation intends to adopt this standards update effective with its March 31, 2021 quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This standard will impact the Corporation's disclosure relating to employee benefit plans, but the Corporation does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASC Update 2018-15 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software (Topic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service ContractThis update requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC Subtopic 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets. This update is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted.First Quarter of 2020The Corporation intends to adopt this standards update effective with its March 31, 2020 quarterly report on Form 10-Q and does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

of operating leases on the consolidated balance sheet is expected to be the most significant impact of the adoption of this standards update.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASC Update 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses." The new impairment model prescribed by this standards update is a single impairment model for all financial assets (i.e., loans and investments). The recognition of credit losses would be based on an entity’s current estimate of expected losses (referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss model, or "CECL"), as opposed to recognition of losses only when they are probable under current U.S. GAAP. ASC Update 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation intends to adopt this standards update effective with its March 31, 2020 quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASC Update 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASC Update 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This standards update provides guidance regarding the presentation of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows, addressing eight specific cash flow classification issues, in order to reduce existing diversity in practice. ASC Update 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation intends to adopt this standards update effective with its March 31, 2018 quarterly report on Form 10-Q and does not expect the adoption of ASC Update 2016-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASC Update 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash." This standards update provides guidance regarding the presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The updaterequires companies to include amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, along with cash and cash equivalents, when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. It also requires an entity to disclose the nature of the restrictions on cash and cash equivalents. ASC Update 2016-18 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation intends to adopt this standards update effective with its March 31, 2018 quarterly report on Form 10-Q and does not expect the adoption of ASC Update 2016-18 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASC Update 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other." This standards update eliminates Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test which measures the impairment amount. Identifying and measuring impairment will take place in a single quantitative step. In addition, no separate qualitative assessment for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amount is required. Entities must disclose the existence of these reporting units and the amount of goodwill allocated to them. This update should be applied on a prospective basis, and an entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. ASC Update 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation intends to adopt this standards update effective with its 2020 goodwill impairment test and does not expect the adoption of ASC Update 2017-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASC Update 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Costs and Net Periodic Benefit Cost." This standards update requires a company to present service cost separately from the other components of net benefit cost. In addition, the update provides explicit guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and allow only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. ASC Update 2017-07 is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation intends to adopt this standards update effective with its March 31, 2018 quarterly report on Form 10-Q and does not expect the adoption of ASC Update 2017-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASC Update 2017-08, "Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities." This standards update requires that a company amortize the premium on callable debt securities to the earliest call date versus current U.S. GAAP which requires amortization over the contractual life of the securities. The amortization period for callable debt securities purchased at a discount would not be impacted by the new accounting standards update. This amendment is to be adopted on a modified retrospective basis with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. ASC Update 2017-08 is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation intends to adopt this standards update effective with its March 31, 2019 quarterly report on Form 10-Q and does not expect the adoption of ASC Update 2017-08 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASC Update 2017-09, "Scope of Modification Accounting." This standards update provides clarity and reduces both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity, when applying the guidance in the stock compensation


standard, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. ASC Update 2017-09 is effective for annual or interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation intends to adopt this standards update effective with its March 31, 2018 quarterly report on Form 10-Q and does not expect the adoption of ASC Update 2017-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – Net Income Per ShareRestrictions on Cash and Cash Equivalents


Basic net income per share is calculated as net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is calculated as net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental number of shares added as a result of converting common stock equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method. The Corporation’s common stock equivalents consist of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs"). PSUssubsidiary banks are required to bemaintain reserves against their deposit liabilities. These reserves are in the form of cash and balances with the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB"), included in weighted average shares outstanding if performance measures, as defined in each PSU award agreement, are met"interest-bearing deposits with other banks." The amounts of such reserves as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were $186.6 million and $156.8 million, respectively.

In addition, collateral is posted by the endCorporation with counterparties to secure derivative contracts and other contracts, which are included in "interest-bearing deposits with other banks." The amounts of the period.such collateral as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were $173.1 million and $45.1 million, respectively.


A reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic net income per share and diluted net income per share follows:

 Three months ended September 30 Nine months ended September 30

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, 447,000 and 712,000 stock options, respectively, were excluded from the diluted net income per share computation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were no stock options excluded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The Corporation’s collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities have contractual terms that generally do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. The change in fair value of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and the Corporation does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost. Therefore, the Corporation does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, all of the auction rate securities (auction rate certificates, or "ARCs"), were rated above investment grade. All of the loans underlying the ARCs have principal payments which are guaranteed by the federal government. As of September 30, 2017, all ARCs were current and making scheduled interest payments, and basedBased on management’s evaluations, none of the ARCs were not subject to any other-than-temporary impairment charges for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2019. The Corporation does not have the intent to sell and does not believe it will more likely than not be required to sell any of these securities prior to a recovery of their fair value to amortized cost, which may be at maturity.
The majority of the Corporation's available for sale corporate debt securities are issued by financial institutions. The following table presents the amortized cost and estimated fair value of corporate debt securities:

Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses consists of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of incurred losses in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments represents management’s estimate of incurred losses in its unfunded loan commitments and is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The allowance for credit losses is increased by charges to expense, through the provision for credit losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries.

The Corporation’s allowance for credit losses includes: (1) specific allowances allocated to loans evaluated for impairment under FASB ASC Section 310-10-35; and (2) allowances calculated for pools of loans measured for impairment under FASB ASC Subtopic 450-20.


The Corporation segments its loan and lease portfolio by general loan type, or "portfolio segments," as presented in the table under the heading, "Loans and Leases, Net of Unearned Income," above. Certain portfolio segments are further disaggregated and evaluated collectively for impairment based on "class segments," which are largely based on the type of collateral underlying each loan. Commercial loans include both secured and unsecured loans. Construction loan class segmentsloans include loans secured by commercial real estate, loans to commercial borrowers secured by residential real estate and loans to individuals secured by residential real estate. Consumer loan class segmentsloans include direct consumer installment loans and indirect vehicle loans.



Allowance for Credit Losses



The allowance for credit losses consists of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments. The allowance for loan and lease losses represents management’s estimate of incurred losses in the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date and is recorded as a reduction to loans and leases. The reserve for unfunded lending commitments represents management’s estimate of incurred losses in its unfunded loan commitments and other off balance sheet credit exposures, such as letters of credit, and is recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The allowance for credit losses is increased by charges to expense, through the provision for credit losses, and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries.



The Corporation’s allowance for credit losses includes: (1) specific allowances allocated to loans and leases individually evaluated for impairment (FASB ASC Section 310-10-35); and (2) allowances calculated for pools of loans and leases collectively evaluated for impairment (FASB ASC Subtopic 450-20).

The Corporation has historically maintained an unallocated allowance for credit losses for factors and conditions that exist at the balance sheet date, but are not specifically identifiable, and to recognize the inherent imprecision in estimating and measuring loss exposure. In 2017, enhancements were made to allow for the impact of these factors and conditions to be quantified in the allowance allocation process. Accordingly, an unallocated allowance for credit losses is no longer necessary.

Impaired Loans and Leases

A loan or lease is considered to be impaired if it is probable that all amounts will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan or lease agreement. Impaired loans and leases consist of all loans and leases on non-accrual status and accruing troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"). An allowance for loan and lease losses is established for an impaired loan or lease if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Impaired loans and leases to borrowers with total outstanding commitments greater than or equal to $1.0 million are evaluated individually for impairment. Impaired loans and leases to borrowers with total outstanding commitments less than $1.0 million are pooled and measured for impairment collectively.


All loans and leases individually evaluated for impairment under FASB ASC Section 310-10-35 are measured for losses on a quarterly basis. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, substantially all of the Corporation’s individually evaluated impaired loans and leases with total outstanding balancescommitments greater than or equal to $1.0 million were measured based on the estimated fair value of each loan’s collateral. Collateral could be in the form of real estate, in the case of impaired commercial mortgages and construction loans, or business assets, such as accounts receivable or inventory, in the case of commercial and industrial loans. Commercial and industrial loans may also be secured by real property.estate.


As of SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and 2016,December 31, 2018, approximately 95%84% and 73%89%, respectively, of impaired loans and leases with principal balances greater than or equal to $1.0 million, whose primary collateral is real estate, were measured at estimated fair value of the collateral using appraisals performed by state certified third-party appraisers that had been updated in the preceding 12 months.


When updated appraisals are not obtained for loans and leases evaluated for impairment under FASB ASC Section 310-10-35 that are secured by real estate, fair values are estimated based on the original appraisal values, as long as the original appraisal indicated an acceptable loan-to-value position and, in the opinion of the Corporation's internal credit administration staff, there has not been a significant deterioration in the collateral value since the original appraisal was performed. Original appraisals are typically used only when the estimated collateral value, as adjusted for the age of the appraisal, results in a current loan-to-value ratio that is lower than the Corporation's loan-to-value requirements for new loans, generally less than 70%.

Credit Quality Indicators and Non-performing Assets


The following is a summary of the Corporation's internal risk rating categories:

Pass: These loans do not currently pose undue credit risk and can range from the highest to average quality, depending on the degree of potential risk.
Special Mention: These loans have a heightened credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a classification of substandard. Loans in this category are currently acceptable, but are nevertheless potentially weak.
Substandard or Lower: These loans are inadequately protected by current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower. There exists a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the normal repayment of the debt.
Pass: These loans do not currently pose undue credit risk and can range from the highest to average quality, depending on the degree of potential risk.
Special Mention: These loans constitute an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to a point of justifying a classification of substandard. Loans in this category are currently acceptable, but are nevertheless potentially weak.
Substandard or Lower: These loans are inadequately protected by current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower. There exists a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the normal repayment of the debt.

The risk rating process allows management to identify credits that potentially carry more risk in a timely manner and to allocate resources to managing troubled accounts. The Corporation believes that internal risk ratings are the most relevant credit quality indicator for the class segments presented above.in the preceding tables. The migration of loans through the various internal risk rating categories is a significant component of the allowance for credit loss methodology, which bases the probability of default on this migration. Assigning risk ratings involves judgment. The Corporation's loan review officers provide an independent assessment of risk rating accuracy. Ratings may be changed based on the ongoing monitoring procedures performed by loan officers or credit administration staff, or if specific loan review activities identify a deterioration or an improvement in the loan.

MSRs represent the economic value of existing contractual rights to service mortgage loans that have been sold. Accordingly, actual and expected prepayments of the underlying mortgage loans can impact the value of MSRs. The Corporation accounts for MSRs at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.


The fair value of MSRs is estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows from servicing income, net of expense, over the expected life of the underlying loans at a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with these assets. Expected life is based on the contractual terms of the loans, as adjusted for prepayment projections. The fair values of MSRs were $44.9 million and $50.2 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Based on its fair value analysis, the Corporation determined that no adjustment to the valuation allowance was necessary as of June 30, 2019 or 2018.

NOTE 6 – Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Corporation adopted ASC Update 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," using the modified retrospective method of applying the new standard at the adoption date. In addition, the Corporation elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard as the lessee. This permitted the carry forward of the conclusions on lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Corporation also elected not to separate lease and non-lease components. Financial results for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 are presented under the new guidance (Topic 842), while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with previous guidance (Topic 840).

As a lessee, the majority of the operating lease portfolio consists of real estate leases for the threeCorporation's branches, land and office space. The operating leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 20 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for 5 years or more. ROU assets and lease liabilities are not recognized for leases with an initial term of 12 months ended September 30, 2017, whileor less. The Corporation does not have any finance leases as the lessee.

Certain real estate leases have lease payments that adjust based on annual changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). The leases that are dependent upon CPI are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date and are included in the measurement of the lease liability.


Operating lease expense primarily represents fixed lease payments for operating leases recognized on a reductionstraight-line basis over the applicable lease term. Variable lease expense represents the payment of $1.3 million was requiredreal estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance based on the Corporation's pro-rata share.

In addition, the Corporation rents or subleases certain real estate to third parties. The rental and sublease portfolio consists mostly of operating leases for space within the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Additions toCorporation's offices and branches.

The following table presents the valuation allowancecomponents of $1.3 million and $3.0 million were necessarythe Corporation’s lease costs for operating leases as the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

As previously disclosed in the Corporation's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and under Topic 840, future minimum lease payments for operating leases having initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2018 were $18.0 million, $17.3 million, $15.7 million, $13.7 million, $11.4 million for years 2019 through 2023, respectively, and $43.3 million in the aggregate for all years thereafter.


NOTE 7 – Stock-Based Compensation

The Corporation grants equity awards to employees, consisting of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs and PSUs under its Amended and Restated Equity and Cash Incentive Compensation Plan ("Employee Equity Plan"). In addition, employees may purchase stock under the Corporation’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The fair value of equity awards granted to employees is recognized as compensation expense over the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for such awards. Compensation expense for PSUs is also recognized over the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for such awards, however, compensation expense may vary based on the expectations for actual performance relative to defined performance measures.

The Corporation also grants equity awards to non-employee members of its board of directors under the 2011 Directors’ Equity Participation Plan ("Directors’ Plan"). Under the Directors’ Plan, the Corporation can grant equity awards to non-employee holding company and subsidiary bank directors in the form of stock options, restricted stock or common stock.

Equity awards issued under the Employee Equity Plan are generally granted annually and become fully vested over or after a three-year vesting period. The vesting period for non-performance-based awards represents the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for such awards. Equity awards under the Directors' Plan generally vest immediately upon grant. Certain events, as defined in the Employee Equity Plan and the Directors' Plan, result in the acceleration of the vesting of equity awards.



The following table presents compensation expense and the related tax benefits for equity awards recognized in the consolidated statements of income:
 Three months ended September 30 Nine months ended September 30
 2017 2016 2017 2016

Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax benefit$942
 $1,016
 $27
 $3,197

Stock option fair values are estimated through the use of the Black-Scholes valuation methodology as of the date of grant. Stock options carry terms of up to ten years. Fair values for restricted stock, RSUs and a majority of PSUs are based on the trading price of the Corporation’s stock on the date of grant and earn dividends or dividend equivalents during the vesting period, which are forfeitable if the awards do not vest. The fair value of certain PSUs are estimated through the use of the Monte Carlo valuation methodology as of the date of grant.

As of September 30, 2017, the Employee Equity Plan had 11.1 million shares reserved for future grants through 2023, and the Directors’ Plan had approximately 360,000 shares reserved for future grants through 2021.

NOTE 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments


The Corporation manages its exposure to certain interest rate and foreign currency risks through the use of derivatives. None of the Corporation's outstanding derivative contracts are designated as hedges, and none are entered into for speculative purposes. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value, with changes in fair valuesvalue recognized in earnings as components of non-interest income andor non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.


Derivative contracts create counterparty credit risk with both the Corporation's customers and with institutional derivative counterparties. The Corporation manages counterparty credit risk through its credit approval processes, monitoring procedures and obtaining adequate collateral, when the Corporation determines it is appropriate to do so and in accordance with counterparty contracts.


Mortgage Banking Derivatives


In connection with its mortgage banking activities, the Corporation enters into commitments to originate certain fixed-rate residential mortgage loans for customers, also referred to as interest rate locks. In addition, the Corporation enters into forward commitments for the future sales or purchases of mortgage-backed securities to or from third-party counterparties to hedge the effect of changes in interest rates on the values of both the interest rate locks and mortgage loans held for sale. Forward sales commitments may also be in the form of commitments to sell individual mortgage loans at a fixed price at a future date. The amount necessary to settle each interest rate lock is based on the price that secondary market investors would pay for loans with similar characteristics, including interest rate and term, as of the date fair value is measured. Gross derivative assets and liabilities are recorded in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets, and changes in fair values during the period are recorded in mortgage banking income on the consolidated statements of income.


Interest Rate Swaps


The Corporation enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Corporation simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and terms. The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the Corporation receives a floating rate. These interest rate swaps are derivative financial instruments and the gross fair values are recorded in other assets and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair values during the period recorded in other non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.Fulton Bank, N.A. ("Fulton Bank"), the Corporation's largest banking subsidiary, exceededexceeds $10 billion in total assets as of December 31, 2016 and wasis required to clear all eligible interest rate swap contracts with a central counterparty, effective January 1, 2017.counterparty. As a result, Fulton Bank becameis subject to the regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC").


Foreign Exchange Contracts


The Corporation enters into foreign exchange contracts to accommodate the needs of its customers. Foreign exchange contracts are commitments to buy or sell foreign currency on a futurespecific date at a contractual price. The Corporation offsetslimits its foreign exchange contract exposure with customers by entering into contracts with third-party correspondent financial institutionsinstitutional counterparties to mitigate its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.risk. The Corporation also holds certain amounts of foreign currency with international correspondent banks.banks ("Foreign Currency Nostro Accounts"). The Corporation's policyCorporation limits the total overnight net foreign currency open positions, which includesis defined as an aggregate of all outstanding contracts and foreign accountForeign Currency Nostro Account balances, to $500,000.

Fair Value Option


U.S. GAAP permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and requires certain disclosures for amounts for which the fair value option is applied. The Corporation has elected to measure mortgage loans held


for sale at fair value to more accurately reflect the financial results of its mortgage banking activities in its consolidated financial statements. Derivative financial instruments related to these activities are also recorded at fair value, as noted above. The Corporation determines fair value for its mortgage loans held for sale based on the price that secondary market investors would pay for loans with similar characteristics, including interest rate and term, as of the date fair value is measured. Changes in fair values during the period are recorded as components of mortgage banking income on the consolidated statements of income. Interest income earned on mortgage loans held for sale is classified in interest income on the consolidated statements of income.value.

The Corporation is a party to interest rate swap transactions with financial institution counterparties and customers, disclosed in detail above. Under these agreements, the Corporation has the right to net-settle multiple contracts with the same counterparty in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Cash collateral is posted by the party with a net liability position in accordance with contract thresholds and can be used to settle the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements in the event of default. Collateral is postedA daily settlement occurs through a clearing agent for changes in the fair value of centrally cleared derivatives with negative fair values.derivatives. As a result, the total fair values of interest rate swap derivative assets and derivative liabilities recognized on the consolidated balance sheet are not equal and offsetting.


The Corporation is also a party to foreign currency exchange contracts with financial institution counterparties, under which the Corporation has the right to net-settle multiple contracts with the same counterparty in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. As with interest rate swap contracts, collateral is posted by the party with a net liability position in accordance with contract thresholds and can be used to settle the fair value of the foreign currency exchange contracts in the event of default.


The Corporation also enters into agreements with customers in which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities, referred to as repurchase agreements. Under these agreements, the Corporation may transfer legal control over the assets but still maintain effective control through agreements that both entitle and obligate the Corporation to repurchase the assets. Therefore, repurchase agreements are reported as secured borrowings, classified in short-term borrowings


on the consolidated balance sheets, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements remain classified with investment securities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation hasdoes not enter into reverse repurchase agreements; therefore, there is no intention of setting off these amounts. Therefore, thesesuch offsetting to be done with the repurchase agreements are not eligible for offset.agreements.

NOTE 8 – Tax Credit Investments

The Corporation's tax credit investments ("TCIs") are primarily related to investments promoting qualified affordable housing projects and investments in community development entities. The majority of these tax-advantaged investments support the Corporation's corporate mission and vision, as well as regulatory compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. The Corporation's investments in these projects generate a return primarily through the realization of federal income tax credits and deductions for operating losses over a specified time period.

The TCIs are included in other assets, with any unfunded equity commitments carried in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Certain TCIs qualify for the proportional amortization method and are amortized over the period the Corporation expects to receive the tax credits, with the expense included within income taxes on the consolidated statements of income. Other TCIs are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, with amortization included within non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income. This amortization includes equity in partnership losses and the systematic write-down of investments over the period in which income tax credits are earned. All of the TCIs are evaluated for impairment at the end of each reporting period. As illustrated below, realizable tax credits are included within income taxes and offset the amortization expense recorded.

NOTE 10 – Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value using the following three categories (from highest to lowest priority):

Level 1 – Inputs that represent quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs that represent quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, or quoted prices for identical instruments in non-active markets. Also includes valuation techniques whose inputs are derived principally from observable market data other than quoted prices, such as interest rates or other market-corroborated means.
Level 3 – Inputs that are largely unobservable, as little or no market data exists for the instrument being valued.

All assets and liabilities measured at fair value on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis, have been categorized into the above three levels. The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and reported on the consolidated balance sheets:

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the preceding tables are as follows:
Mortgage loans held for sale – This category consists of mortgage loans held for sale that the Corporation has elected to measure at fair value. Fair values as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were measured based on the price that secondary market investors were offering for loans with similar characteristics. See "Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments" for details related to the Corporation’s election to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.
Available for sale investment securities – Included in this asset category are debt securities. Level 2 available for sale debt securities are valued by a third-party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry. The pricing service uses pricing models that vary based on asset class and incorporate available market information, including quoted prices of investment securities with similar characteristics. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, pricing models use available information, as applicable, through processes such as benchmark yield curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing.
Standard market inputs include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data, including market research publications. For certain security types, additional inputs may be used, or some of the standard market inputs may not be applicable.
Management tests the values provided by the pricing service by obtaining securities prices from an alternative third-party source and comparing the results. This test is performed for at least 95% of the securities valued by the pricing service. Generally, differences by security in excess of 5% are researched to reconcile the difference.
U.S. Government sponsored agency securities/State and municipal securities/Collateralized mortgage obligations/Residential mortgage-backed securities/Commercial mortgage-backed securities – These debt securities are classified as Level 2 investments. Fair values are determined by a third-party pricing service, as detailed above.
Corporate debt securities – This category consists of subordinated debt and senior debt issued by financial institutions ($175.2 million at June 30, 2019 and $86.1 million at December 31, 2018), single-issuer trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions ($18.3 million at June 30, 2019 and $18.6 million at December 31, 2018), pooled trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions ($0 at June 30, 2019 and $875,000 at December 31, 2018) and other corporate debt issued by non-financial institutions ($3.9 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018).


Level 2 investments include the Corporation’s holdings of subordinated debt and senior debt, other corporate debt issued by non-financial institutions and $16.0 million and $16.3 million of single-issuer trust preferred securities held at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The fair values for these corporate debt securities are determined by a third-party pricing service, as detailed above.
Level 3 investments include the Corporation’s investments in pooled trust preferred securities ($0 at June 30, 2019 and $875,000 at December 31, 2018) and certain single-issuer trust preferred securities ($2.4 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018). The fair values of these securities were determined based on quotes provided by third-party brokers who determined fair values based predominantly on internal valuation models which were not indicative prices or binding offers. The Corporation’s third-party pricing service cannot derive fair values for these securities primarily due to inactive markets for similar investments. Level 3 values are tested by management primarily through trend analysis, by comparing current values to those reported at the end of the preceding calendar quarter, and determining if they are reasonable based on price and spread movements for this asset class.
Auction rate securities – Due to their illiquidity, ARCs are classified as Level 3 investments and are valued through the use of an expected cash flows model prepared by a third-party valuation expert. The assumptions used in preparing the expected cash flows model include estimates for coupon rates, time to maturity and market rates of return. The most significant unobservable input to the expected cash flows model is an assumed return to market liquidity sometime in the next five years. If the assumed return to market liquidity was lengthened beyond the next five years, this would result in a decrease in the fair value of these ARCs. The Corporation believes that the trusts underlying the ARCs will self-liquidate as student loans are repaid. Level 3 fair values are tested by management through the performance of a trend analysis of the market price and discount rate. Changes in the price and discount rates are compared to changes in market data, including bond ratings, parity ratios, balances and delinquency levels.
Investments held in Rabbi Trust – This category consists of mutual funds that are held in trust for employee deferred compensation plans that the Corporation has elected to measure at fair value. Shares of mutual funds are valued based on net asset value, which represent quoted market prices for the underlying shares held in the mutual funds, and as such, are classified as Level 1 and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets ($20.8 million at June 30, 2019 and $18.4 million at December 31, 2018).
Derivative assets – Fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts classified as Level 1 assets ($331,000 at June 30, 2019 and $392,000 at December 31, 2018). The mutual funds and foreign exchange prices used to measure these items at fair value are based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 assets, representing the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives in the form of interest rate locks and forward commitments with secondary market investors ($2.3 million at June 30, 2019 and $1.2 million at December 31, 2018) and the fair value of interest rate swaps ($138.0 million at June 30, 2019 and $61.4 million at December 31, 2018). The fair values of the Corporation’s interest rate locks, forward commitments and interest rate swaps represent the amounts that would be required to settle the derivative financial instruments at the balance sheet date. See "Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments," for additional information.

Deferred compensation liabilities – Fair value of amounts due to employees under deferred compensation plans, classified as Level 1 liabilities and are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets ($20.8 million at June 30, 2019 and $18.4 million at December 31, 2018). The fair values of these liabilities are determined in the same manner as the related assets, as described under the heading "Investments held in Rabbi Trust" above.

Derivative liabilities – Level 1 liabilities, representing the fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts ($286,000 at June 30, 2019 and $381,000 at December 31, 2018).

Level 2 liabilities, representing the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives in the form of interest rate locks and forward commitments with secondary market investors ($1.7 million at June 30, 2019 and $1.1 million December 31, 2018) and the fair value of interest rate swaps ($76.2 million at June 30, 2019 and $47.1 million at December 31, 2018).

The fair values of these liabilities are determined in the same manner as the related assets, as described under the heading "Derivative assets" above.

(1)Pooled trust preferred securities, single-issuer trust preferred securities and ARCs are classified as available for sale investment securities; as such, the unrealized adjustment to fair value was recorded as an unrealized holding gain (loss) and included as a component of "available for sale at estimated fair value" on the consolidated balance sheets.
(2)Included as a component of "net interest income" on the consolidated statements of income.

Certain assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value measurement in certain circumstances, such as upon their acquisition or when there is evidence of impairment. The following table presents the Corporation’s Level 3 financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and reported on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets:
 June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018

OREO7,241
 10,518
MSRs44,916
 50,204
Total assets$204,608
 $210,568
The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the table above are as follows:
Net loans and leases – This category consists of loans and leases that were evaluated for impairment under FASB ASC Section 310-10-35 and have been classified as Level 3 assets. The amount shown is the balance of impaired loans, net of the related allowance for loan losses. See "Note 4 - Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses," for additional details.
OREO – This category consists of OREO classified as Level 3 assets, for which the fair values were based on estimated selling prices less estimated selling costs for similar assets in active markets.


MSRs - This category consists of MSRs, which were initially recorded at fair value upon the sale of residential mortgage loans to secondary market investors, and subsequently carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. MSRs are amortized as a reduction to servicing income over the estimated lives of the underlying loans. MSRs are stratified and evaluated for impairment by comparing each stratum's carrying amount to its estimated fair value. Fair values are determined at the end of each quarter through a discounted cash flows valuation performed by a third-party valuation expert. Significant inputs to the valuation included expected net servicing income, the discount rate and the expected life of the underlying loans. Expected life is based on the contractual terms of the loans, as adjusted for prepayment projections. The weighted average annual constant prepayment rate and the weighted average discount rate used in the June 30, 2019 valuation were 10.2% and 9.5%, respectively. Management tests the reasonableness of the significant inputs to the third-party valuation in comparison to market data. See "Note 5 - Mortgage Servicing Rights," for additional information.


The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. A general description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate such fair values follows:

Fair values of financial instruments are significantly affected by the assumptions used, principally the timing of future cash flows and discount rates. Because assumptions are inherently subjective in nature, the estimated fair values cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent market quotes and, in many cases, the estimated fair values could not necessarily be realized in an


immediate sale or settlement of the instrument. The aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent management’s estimate of the underlying value of the Corporation.
For short-term financial instruments, defined as those with remaining maturities of 90 days or less, and excluding those recorded at fair value on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets, book value was considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

The following instruments are predominantly short-term:
AssetsLiabilities
Cash and cash equivalentsDemand and savings deposits
Accrued interest receivableShort-term borrowings
Accrued interest payable


FRB and FHLB stock represent restricted investments and are carried at cost on the consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2019, fair values for loans and leases and time deposits were estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates, as adjusted for liquidity considerations, at which similar loans and leases would be made to borrowers and similar deposits would be issued to customers for the same remaining maturities. Fair values of loans and leases also include estimated credit losses that would be assumed in a market transaction, which represents estimated exit prices.

Brokered deposits consists of demand and saving deposits, which are classified as level 1, and time deposits, which are classified as level 2. The fair value of these deposits are determined in a manner consistent with the respective type of deposits discussed above.

NOTE 11 – Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is calculated as net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is calculated as net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the incremental number of shares added as a result of converting common stock equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method. The Corporation’s common stock equivalents consist of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs"). PSUs are required to be included in weighted average shares outstanding if performance measures, as defined in each PSU award agreement, are met as of the end of the period.

A reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate basic net income per share and diluted net income per share follows (in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 12 – Stock-Based Compensation

The Corporation grants equity awards to employees in the form of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs or PSUs under its Amended and Restated Equity and Cash Incentive Compensation Plan ("Employee Equity Plan"). Recent grants of equity awards under the Employee Equity Plan have generally been limited to RSUs and PSUs. In addition, employees may purchase stock under the Corporation’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The fair value of equity awards granted to employees is recognized as compensation expense over the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for such awards. Compensation expense for PSUs is also recognized over the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for such awards, however, compensation expense may vary based on the expectations for actual performance relative to defined performance measures.



The Corporation also grants equity awards to non-employee members of its board of directors and subsidiary bank boards of directors under the 2011 Directors’ Equity Participation Plan, which was amended and approved by shareholders as the Amended and Restated Directors’ Equity Participation Plan in 2019 ("Directors’ Plan"). Under the Directors’ Plan, the Corporation can grant equity awards to non-employee holding company and subsidiary bank directors in the form of stock options, restricted stock, RSUs or common stock.Recent grants of equity awards under the Directors’ Plan have been limited to RSUs.

Equity awards under the Employee Equity Plan are generally granted annually and become fully vested over or after a three-year vesting period. The vesting period for non-performance-based awards represents the period during which employees are required to provide service in exchange for such awards. Equity awards under the Directors' Plan are generally granted semi-annually and become fully vested after a one-year vesting period. Certain events, as defined in the Employee Equity Plan and the Directors' Plan, result in the acceleration of the vesting of equity awards.

Fair values for RSUs and a majority of PSUs are based on the trading price of the Corporation’s stock on the date of grant and earn dividend equivalents during the vesting period, which are forfeitable if the awards do not vest. The fair value of certain PSUs are estimated through the use of the Monte Carlo valuation methodology as of the date of grant.

As of June 30, 2019, the Employee Equity Plan had 10.1 million shares reserved for future grants through 2023, and the Directors’ Plan had approximately 264,000 shares reserved for future grants through 2029.

NOTE 14 – Commitments and Contingencies


Commitments


The Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.


Those financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets. Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the outstanding amount of those instruments.


The outstanding amounts of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit were as follows:
 June 30,

The Corporation records a reserve for unfunded lending commitments, which represents management’s estimate of incurred losses associated with unused commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. See Note 5, "Loans"Note 4 - Loans and Leases Allowance for Credit Losses," for additional details.







Residential Lending


Residential mortgages originated and sold by the Corporation consist primarily of conforming, prime loans sold to government sponsored agencies, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"). The Corporation alsooriginates and sells certain prime loans it originatesresidential mortgages to non-government sponsored agencysecondary market investors.

The Corporation provides customary representations and warranties to government sponsored entities andsecondary market investors that specify, among other things, that the loans have been underwritten to the standards established byof the government sponsored entity orsecondary market investor. The Corporation may be required to repurchase a loan,specific loans, or reimburse the government sponsored entity or investor for a credit loss incurred on a sold loan if it is determined that the representations and warranties have not been met. Such repurchases or reimbursements generally result from an underwriting or documentation deficiency. As of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, total outstanding repurchase requests totaled approximately $543,000.

From 2000 to 2011,Under some agreements with secondary market investors, the Corporation sold loans tomay have additional credit exposure beyond customary representations and warranties, based on the Federal Home Loan Bankspecific terms of Pittsburgh under its Mortgage Partnership Finance Program ("MPF Program"). those agreements.

The Corporation providedmaintains a "credit enhancement" for residential mortgage loans sold under the MPF Program whereby it would assume credit losses in excess of a defined "First Loss Account," or "FLA" balance, up to specified amounts. The FLA is funded by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh based on a percentage of the outstanding principal balance of loans sold. As of September 30, 2017, the unpaid principal balance of loans sold under the MPF Program was approximately $89 million. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the reserve for estimated credit losses related to loans sold under the MPF Program was $1.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Required reserves are calculated based on delinquency status and estimated loss rates established through the Corporation's existing allowance for credit losses methodology for residential mortgage loans.

to investors. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, the total reserve for losses on residential mortgage loans sold was $2.1$2.5 million and $2.5$2.1 million, respectively, including both reserves for credit losses under the MPF Program and reserves forboth representation and warranty exposures. Management believes that the reserves recorded as of September 30, 2017 are adequate. However, declines in collateral values, the identification of additional loans to be repurchased, or a deterioration in theand credit quality of loans sold under the MPF Program could necessitate additional reserves, established through charges to earnings, in the future.loss exposures.


Legal Proceedings


The Corporation and its subsidiaries areis involved in various pending and threatened claims and other legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business of the Corporation.activities. The Corporation periodically evaluates the possible impact of pending litigationthese matters, based on, among other factors,taking into consideration the advicemost recent information available. A loss reserve is established for those matters for which the Corporation believes a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. Once established, the reserve is adjusted as appropriate to reflect any subsequent developments. Actual losses with respect to any such matter may be more or less than the amount estimated by the Corporation. For matters where a loss is not probable, or the amount of counsel, available insurance coverage and recorded liabilities and reserves for probable legal liabilities and costs. the loss cannot be reasonably estimated by the Corporation, no loss reserve is established.

In addition, from time to time, the Corporation is the subject ofinvolved in investigations or other forms of regulatory or governmental inquiry covering a range of possible issues and, in some cases, these may be part of similar reviews of the specified activities of other industry participants.companies. These inquiries or investigations could lead to administrative, civil or criminal proceedings involving the Corporation, and could possibly result in fines, penalties, restitution, other types of sanctions, or the need to alter the Corporation’s business practices, and causefor the Corporation to incur additional costs.undertake remedial actions, or to alter its business, financial or accounting practices. The Corporation’s practice is to cooperate fully with regulatory and governmental inquiries and investigations.


As of the date of this report, the Corporation believes that any liabilities, individually or in the aggregate, which may result from the final outcomes of pending legal proceedings, or regulatory or governmental inquiries or investigations, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Corporation. However, legal proceedings, inquiries and investigations are often


unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate resolution of any such matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the Corporation’s results of operations forin any particularfuture period, depending, in part, upon the size of the loss or liability imposed and the operating results for the applicableperiod, and could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business. In addition, regardless of the ultimate outcome of any such legal proceeding, inquiry or investigation, any such matter could cause the Corporation to incur additional expenses, which could be significant, and possibly material, to the Corporation’s results of operations in any future period.


BSA/AML Enforcement OrdersConsent Order


TheAs of April 1, 2019, the Corporation and each of its bank subsidiaries aresubsidiary, Lafayette Ambassador Bank, were subject to regulatory enforcement ordersa Cease and Desist Order Issued Upon Consent ("Consent Order") issued duringon September 4, 2014 and 2015 by their respective federal and state bank regulatory agenciesthe Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board of Governors") relating to identified deficiencies in the Corporation’s centralized Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering compliance program (the "BSA/AML Compliance Program"), which was designed to complyprogram.

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the requirementsSEC on May 23, 2019, the Board of the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and related anti-money laundering regulations (collectively, the "BSA/AML Requirements"). The regulatory enforcement orders, which are in the form of consent orders or orders to cease and desist issued upon consent ("Consent Orders"), generally require, among other things, that the Corporation and its bank subsidiaries undertake a number of required actions to strengthen and enhance the BSA/AML Compliance Program, and, in some cases, conduct retrospective reviews of past account activity and transactions, as well as certain reports filed in accordance with the BSA/AML Requirements, to determine whether suspicious activity and certain transactions in currency were properly identified and reported in accordance with the BSA/AML Requirements. The Corporation and its bank subsidiaries have


implemented numerous enhancements to the BSA/AML Compliance Program, completed the retrospective reviews required under the Consent Orders, and continue to strengthen and refine the BSA/AML Compliance Program to achieve a sustainable program in accordance with the BSA/AML Requirements. In addition to requiring strengthening and enhancement of the BSA/AML Compliance Program, while the Consent Orders remain in effect, the Corporation is subject to certain restrictions on expansion activities of the Corporation and its bank subsidiaries. Further, any failure to comply with the requirements of any of the Consent Orders involving the Corporation or its bank subsidiaries could result in further enforcement actions, the imposition of material restrictions on the activities of the Corporation or its bank subsidiaries, or the assessment of fines or penalties.

On October 27, 2017, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC")Governors has terminated the Consent Orders that it issued on July 14, 2014 to three of the Corporation's bank subsidiaries, Fulton Bank, N.A., FNB Bank, N.A. and Swineford National Bank, relating to deficiencies in the BSA/AML Compliance Programs at those bank subsidiaries.Order.


Fair Lending Investigation


During the second quarter of 2015, Fulton Bank, N.A., the Corporation’s largest bank subsidiary, received a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice (the "Department") indicating that the Department had initiated an investigation regarding potential violations of fair lending laws (specifically, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act) by Fulton Bank, N.A. in certain geographies. Fulton Bank, N.A. has been and is cooperating with the Department and responding to the Department’s requests for information. During the third quarter of 2016, the Department informed the Corporation, Fulton Bank, N.A., and three of the Corporation’s other bank subsidiaries, Fulton Bank of New Jersey (which merged with and into Fulton Bank, N.A. effective on May 18, 2019), The Columbia Bank and Lafayette Ambassador Bank, that the Department was expanding its investigation of potential lending discrimination on the basis of race and national origin to encompass additional geographies that were not included in the initial letter from the Department. In addition to requesting information concerning the lending activities of these bank subsidiaries, the Department also requested information concerning the Corporation and the residential mortgage lending activities conducted under the Fulton Mortgage Company brand, the trade name used by all of the Corporation’s bank subsidiaries for residential mortgage lending. The investigation relates to lending activities during the period January 1, 2009 to the present. The Corporation and the identified bank subsidiaries are cooperating with the Department and responding to the Department’s requests for information. The Corporation and its bank subsidiaries are not able at this time to determine the terms on which this investigation will be resolved or the timing of such resolution, or to reliably estimate the amounts of any settlement, fines or other penalties or the cost of any other remedial actions, if enforcement action is taken. In addition, shouldresolution. Should the investigation result in an enforcement action against the Corporation or its bank subsidiaries, or a settlement with the Department, the ability of the Corporation and its bank subsidiaries to engage in certain expansion or other activities may be restricted.


Agostino, et al. LitigationSEC Investigation

Fulton Bank, N.A. (the "Bank"), the Corporation’s largest bank subsidiary, and two unrelated, third-party defendants, Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc. (“Ameriprise”) and Riverview Bank (“Riverview”), have been named as defendants in a lawsuit brought on behalf of a group of 67 plaintiffs filed on March 31, 2016, in the Court of Common Pleas for Dauphin County, Pennsylvania (Agostino, et al. v. Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., et al., No. 2016-CV-2048-CV). The plaintiffs in this action, who are individuals, trustees of certain irrevocable trusts, or the executors of the estates of deceased individuals, were clients of Jeffrey M. Mottern, a now-deceased attorney, who is alleged to have operated a fraud scheme over a period of years through the sale of fictitious high-yield investments or by otherwise misappropriating funds entrusted to Mr. Mottern. Mr. Mottern is alleged to have used the proceeds of these activities to engage in speculative securities trading through defendant Ameriprise, which caused significant losses, and for Mr. Mottern’s personal expenses. The allegations against the Bank relate to a commercial checking account at the Bank maintained by Mr. Mottern in connection with Mr. Mottern’s law practice. The lawsuit alleges that the Bank is liable to the plaintiffs for failing to properly monitor Mr. Mottern’s checking account and detect Mr. Mottern’s fraudulent activity, and specifically alleges that the Bank aided and abetted Mr. Mottern’s: (1) fraud; (2) breach of fiduciary duty; (3) violations of the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law; and (4) conversion. Similar claims have been asserted against Ameriprise and Riverview, which allegedly maintained a personal brokerage account and a trust account for client or other third-party funds, respectively, for Mr. Mottern. The lawsuit seeks damages from the defendants, including the Bank, alleged to be in excess of $11.3 million, treble damages and attorneys’ fees with respect to alleged violations of the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, punitive damages, plus interest and costs. On April 29, 2016, the Bank filed a Notice of Removal to remove this lawsuit to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. On May 31, 2016, the plaintiffs filed a motion to remand the lawsuit to the Court of Common Pleas for Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. On October 24, 2016, the District Court granted the plaintiffs' motion and the lawsuit was remanded back to the Court of Common Pleas for Dauphin County. All defendants subsequently filed preliminary objections to the Complaint, including objections that, if granted, would result in dismissal of the case. On May 26, 2017, the Court of Common Pleas for Dauphin County denied all substantive preliminary objections filed by the Bank. On June 23, 2017, the Bank filed its Combined Motion for Partial Reconsideration of the Court’s May 26, 2017 Order and Application for Amendment of the Order to Set Forth Expressly the


Statement in Pa.C.S. s. 702(b) (the “Motion”). The Bank also filed its Answer and New Matter (the “Answer”) on June 23, 2017. The plaintiffs subsequently responded to the Motion and the Answer.

In October 2017, the Bank and the plaintiffs agreed to settle the lawsuit. The plaintiffs' Steering Committee, which represents the interests of the 67 plaintiffs, approved the specific terms of the settlement on October 26,2017 and recommended that each plaintiff execute the settlement agreement. The settlement involves the Bank making an aggregate payment to the plaintiffs' attorney on their behalf, in exchange for the plaintiffs' agreement to dismiss the claims against the Bank and any related matters with prejudice. The material terms of the settlement will become effective upon the dismissal of the claims against the Bank by the court, which the plaintiffs have agreed to pursue. The Corporation’s insurance carrier has informed the Corporation that it will reimburse the Corporation for the full amount of the Bank's agreed upon settlement payment, and, as a result, any further financial impact to the Corporation is expected to be immaterial.



NOTE 11 – Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value using the following three categories (from highest to lowest priority):
Level 1 – Inputs that represent quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs that represent quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, or quoted prices for identical instruments in non-active markets. Also includes valuation techniques whose inputs are derived principally from observable market data other than quoted prices, such as interest rates or other market-corroborated means.
Level 3 – Inputs that are largely unobservable, as little or no market data exists for the instrument being valued.
The Corporation has categorized all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis intois responding to an investigation by the above three levels.

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items in the preceding tables are as follows:
Mortgage loans held for sale – This category consists of mortgage loans held for saleSEC regarding certain accounting determinations that the Corporation has elected to measure at fair value. Fair values as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were measured based on the price that secondary market investors were offering for loans with similar characteristics. See Note 9, "Derivative Financial Instruments" for details related tocould have impacted the Corporation’s election to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.
Available for sale investment securities – Included in this asset category are both equity and debt securities. Level 2 available for sale debt securities are valued by a third-party pricing service commonly used in the banking industry. The pricing service uses pricing models that vary based on asset class and incorporate available market information, including quoted prices of investment securities with similar characteristics. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, pricing models use available information, as applicable, through processes such as benchmark yield curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing.
Standard market inputs include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data, including market research publications. For certain security types, additional inputs may be used, or some of the standard market inputs may not be applicable.
Management tests the values provided by the pricing service by obtaining securities prices from an alternative third-party source and comparing the results. This test is done for at least 80% of the securities valued by the pricing service. Generally, differences by security in excess of 5% are researched to reconcile the difference.
Equity securities – Equity securities consist of common stocks of financial institutions ($12.1 million at September 30, 2017 and $23.5 million at December 31, 2016) and other equity investments ($1.0 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016). These Level 1 investments are measured at fair value based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
U.S. Government sponsored agency securities/State and municipal securities/Collateralized mortgage obligations/Residential mortgage-backed securities/Commercial mortgage-backed securities – These debt securities are classified as Level 2 investments. Fair values are determined by a third-party pricing service, as detailed above.
Corporate debt securities – This category consists of subordinated debt issued by financial institutions ($50.3 million at September 30, 2017 and $65.2 million at December 31, 2016), single-issuer trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions ($38.3 million at September 30, 2017 and $39.8 million at December 31, 2016), pooled trust preferred securities issued by financial institutions ($422,000 at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016) and other corporate debt issued by non-financial institutions ($4.0 million at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016).
Level 2 investments include the Corporation’s holdings of subordinated debt, other corporate debt issued by non-financial institutions and $35.5 million and $37.3 million of single-issuer trust preferred securities held at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The fair values for these corporate debt securities are determined by a third-party pricing service, as detailed above.
Level 3 investments include the Corporation’s investments in pooled trust preferred securities ($422,000 at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016) and certain single-issuer trust preferred securities ($2.8 million at September 30, 2017 and $2.5 million at December 31, 2016). The fair values of these securities were determined based on quotes provided by third-party brokers who determined fair values based predominantly on internal valuation models which were not indicative prices or binding offers. The Corporation’s third-party pricing service cannot derive fair values for these securities primarily due to inactive markets for similar investments. Level 3 values are tested by management primarily through trend analysis, by comparing current values to those reported at the end of the preceding calendar quarter, and determining if they are reasonable based on price and spread movements for this asset class.
Auction rate securities – Due to their illiquidity, ARCs are classified as Level 3 investments and are valued through the use of an expected cash flows model prepared by a third-party valuation expert. The assumptions used in preparing the expected cash flows model include estimates for coupon rates, time to maturity and market rates of return. The most significant unobservable input to the expected cash flows model is an assumed return to market liquidity sometime in the next five years. If the assumed return to market liquidity was lengthened beyond the next five years, this would result in a decrease in the fair value of these ARCs.earnings per share. The Corporation believes that its financial statements filed with the trusts underlying the ARCs will self-liquidateSEC in Forms 10-K and 10-Q present fairly, in all material respects, its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as student loans are repaid. Level 3 fair valuesare tested by management through the performance of a trend analysis of the market price and discount rate.


Changes in the price and discount rates are compared to changes in market data, including bond ratings, parity ratios, balances and delinquency levels.
Other assets – Included in this category are the following:
Level 1 assets include mutual funds that are held in trust for employee deferred compensation plans ($18.1 million at September 30, 2017 and $16.4 million at December 31, 2016) and the fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts ($625,000 at September 30, 2017 and $745,000 at December 31, 2016). The mutual funds and foreign exchange prices used to measure these items at fair value are based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 assets include the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives in the form of interest rate locks and forward commitments with secondary market investors ($1.3 million at September 30, 2017 and $3.1 million at December 31, 2016) and the fair value of interest rate swaps ($47.7 million at September 30, 2017 and $41.4 million at December 31, 2016). The fair values of the Corporation’s interest rate locks, forward commitments and interest rate swaps represent the amounts that would be required to settle the derivative financial instruments at the balance sheet date. See Note 9, "Derivative Financial Instruments," for additional information.

Other liabilities – Included in this category are the following:

Level 1 liabilities include employee deferred compensation liabilities which represent amounts due to employees under deferred compensation plans ($18.1 million at September 30, 2017 and $16.4 million at December 31, 2016) and the fair value of foreign currency exchange contracts ($506,000 at September 30, 2017 and $668,000 at December 31, 2016). The fair value of these liabilities are determined in the same manner as the related assets, as described under the heading "Other assets" above.

Level 2 liabilities include the fair value of mortgage banking derivatives in the form of interest rate locks and forward commitments with secondary market investors ($223,000 at September 30, 2017 and $339,000 at December 31, 2016) and the fair value of interest rate swaps ($41.3 million at September 30, 2017 and $41.4 million at December 31, 2016). The fair values of these liabilities are determined in the same manner as the related assets, as described under the heading "Other assets" above.

(2)Included as a component of "net interest income" on the consolidated statements of income.





Certain assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value measurement in certain circumstances, such as upon their acquisition or when there is evidence of impairment. The following table presents the Corporation’s Level 3 financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and reported on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets:

The valuation techniques used to measure fair value for the items inperiods ending on their respective dates. The Corporation is cooperating fully with the table above are as follows:SEC and at this time cannot predict when or how the investigation will be resolved.


Net loans – This category consists of loans that were measured for impairment under FASB ASC Section 310-10-35 and have been classified as Level 3 assets. The amount shown is the balance of impaired loans, net of the related allowance for loan losses. See Note 5, "Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses," for additional details.
OREO – This category includes OREO ($10.5 million at September 30, 2017 and $12.8 million at December 31, 2016) classified as Level 3 assets. Fair values for OREO were based on estimated selling prices less estimated selling costs for similar assets in active markets.
MSRs – This category includes MSRs ($37.9 million at September 30, 2017 and $37.5 million at December 31, 2016), classified as Level 3 assets. MSRs are initially recorded at fair value upon the sale of residential mortgage loans to secondary market investors. MSRs are amortized as a reduction to servicing income over the estimated lives of the underlying loans. MSRs are stratified and evaluated for impairment by comparing each stratum's carrying amount to its estimated fair value. Fair values are determined at the end of each quarter through a discounted cash flows valuation performed by a third-party valuation expert. Significant inputs to the valuation included expected net servicing income, the discount rate and the expected life of the underlying loans. Expected life is based on the contractual terms of the loans, as adjusted for prepayment projections. The weighted average annual constant prepayment rate and the weighted average discount rate used in the September 30, 2017 valuation were 12.4% and 9.5%, respectively. Management tests the reasonableness of the significant inputs to the third-party valuation in comparison to market data.


As required by FASB ASC Section 825-10-50, the following table details the book values and estimated fair values of the Corporation’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

(1)These financial instruments, or certain financial instruments in these categories, are measured at fair value on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets. Descriptions of the fair value determinations for these financial instruments are disclosed above.
Fair values of financial instruments are significantly affected by the assumptions used, principally the timing of future cash flows and discount rates. Because assumptions are inherently subjective in nature, the estimated fair values cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent market quotes and, in many cases, the estimated fair values could not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale or settlement of the instrument. The aggregate fair value amounts presented do not necessarily represent management’s estimate of the underlying value of the Corporation.
For short-term financial instruments, defined as those with remaining maturities of 90 days or less, and excluding those recorded at fair value on the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets, book value was considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

The following instruments are predominantly short-term:
AssetsLiabilities
Cash and due from banksDemand and savings deposits
Interest-bearing deposits with other banksShort-term borrowings
Accrued interest receivableAccrued interest payable

Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") stock represent restricted investments and are carried at cost on the consolidated balance sheets.
Fair values for loans and time deposits were estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers and similar deposits would be issued to customers for the same remaining maturities. Fair values estimated in this manner do not fully incorporate an exit price approach to fair value, as defined in FASB ASC Topic 820.

The fair values of FHLB advances and long-term debt were estimated by discounting the remaining contractual cash flows using a rate at which the Corporation could issue debt with similar remaining maturities as of the balance sheet date. These borrowings would be categorized in Level 2 liabilities under FASB ASC Topic 820.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Overview


Fulton FinancialThe Corporation is a financial holding company comprised of sixwhich, through its wholly owned bank subsidiaries, which provideprovides a full range of retail and commercial financial services through locations in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia and eight wholly owned non-bank subsidiaries.Virginia. The Corporation generates the majority of its revenue through net interest income, or the difference between interest earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets, and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Growth in net interest income is dependent upon balance sheet growth and maintaining or increasing the net interest margin, which is net interest income (fully taxable-equivalent, or "FTE") as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. The Corporation also generates revenue through fees earned on the various services and products offered to its customers and through gains on sales of assets, such as loans, investments, or properties. Offsetting these revenue sources are provisions for credit losses on loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures, non-interest expenses and income taxes.

These increases were driven by growth in interest-earning assets and improvements in the net interest margin, resulting from increases in yields on interest-earning assets exceeding increases in costs of interest-bearing liabilities. The growth in interest-earning assets accounted for approximately 70% and 87% of the FTE net interest income growth for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, while the increase in net interest margin accounted for the remaining 30% and 13% growth in these periods, respectively.

Asset Quality - The provision for credit losses forDuring the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 was $5.12018, the Corporation recorded a provision of $36.8 million for a credit loss arising from a single, large commercial lending relationship ("Commercial Relationship"), compared to a $4.1 million provision for the same period in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the provision for credit losses was $16.6 million, compared to an $8.2 million provision for the same period in 2016. The increases in the 2017 periods were largely due to growth in the loan portfolio, as credit metrics were generally stable.

Annualizedimpacting net charge-offs to average loans outstanding were 0.14% for the third quarter of 2017, compared to 0.11% for the third quarter of 2016. For the first nine months of 2017, annualized net charge-offs to average loans outstanding improved to 0.12%, compared to 0.14% for the same period of 2016.

Non-performing assets decreased $3.1 million, or 2.1%, as of September 30, 2017 in comparison to September 30, 2016 and decreased to 0.73% as a percentage of total assets, compared to 0.80% as of September 30, 2016. The total delinquency rate improved to 1.28% as of September 30, 2017, from 1.38% as of September 30, 2016.

Non-interest Income - For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, increased $770,000, or 1.6%, and $7.5 million, or 5.5%, in comparison to the same periods in 2016, respectively. The increases were primarily driven by higher investment management and trust services income and mortgage banking income. Improvementsdiluted net income per share in mortgage banking income were largely due to changes in the MSR valuation allowance. See further discussion under non-interest income in "Results of Operations."

Investment securities gains for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $4.6 million and $7.1 million, respectively, as compared to $2,000 and $1.0 million for the same periods in 2016, respectively.

Non-interest Expense - For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, non-interest expense increased $12.3 million, or 10.3%, and $25.2 million, or 7.0%, respectively, in comparison to the sameboth periods of 2016. The increases were primarily driven by higher salaries and employee benefits, amortization of certain tax credit investments, other outside services and net occupancy expenses. Amortization of certain new tax credit investments was classified in non-interest expense rather than income tax expense in 2017. There was no impact on net income as a result of the different classifications of the amortization for these new tax credit investments as the increases in non-interest expense were offset by decreases in income tax expense.2018.


Net Interest Income Growth - Net interest income increased $8.5 million, or 5.4%, and $20.5 million, or 6.7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases resulted from 5 and 9 basis point increases, respectively, in net interest margin during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and were largely driven by the impact of increases in the federal funds target rate ("Fed Funds Rate") during 2018, as well as growth in average interest-earning assets, primarily loans.

Net Interest Margin - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the net interest margin increases were driven by 33 and 38 basis point increases, respectively, in yields on interest-earning assets, partially offset by 30 and 31 basis point increases, respectively, in the cost of funds.




Loan Growth - Average loans were $547.7 million, or 3.5%, and $540.6 million, or 3.4%, higher for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018. The most notable increases were in the residential mortgage, commercial and consumer loan portfolios.

Deposit Growth - Average deposits grew $858.0 million, or 5.5%, and $856.7 million, or 5.5%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018.

Asset Quality - Annualized net (recoveries)/charge-offs to average loans outstanding were (0.04)% and 0.03% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, compared to 1.01% and 0.56% for the same periods in 2018, respectively. During the second quarter of 2018, the Corporation charged off $33.9 million and recorded a provision of $36.8 million for a credit loss related to the Commercial Relationship. The provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $5.0 million and $10.1 million, respectively, compared to $33.1 million and $37.1 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2018.

Non-interest Income - For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, non-interest income, excluding investment securities gains, increased $5.0 million, or 10.3%, and $5.9 million, or 6.2%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018. Increases were experienced during both periods in wealth management income, commercial banking income, mortgage banking income and consumer banking.

Non-interest Expense - Non-interest expense increased $10.8 million, or 8.1%, and $12.0 million, or 4.4%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, in comparison to the same periods in 2018. Increases in salaries and employee benefits, other outside services and net occupancy expense were partially offset by decreases in various other categories. Non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 included $5.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of expenses related to consolidation of the Corporation's bank subsidiaries.

Income Taxes- Income tax expense was $9.9 million and $20.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates ("ETR"), or income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes, of 14.2% and 14.9%, respectively, as compared to 9.0% and 11.1% for the same periods in 2018, respectively. The increases in the ETR resulted primarily from higher income before income taxes. The ETR is generally lower than the federal statutory rate of 21% due to tax-exempt interest income earned on loans, investments in tax-free municipal securities and investments in community development projects that generate tax credits under various federal programs.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains supplemental financial information, as detailed below, which has been derived by methods other than U.S. GAAP. The Corporation has presented these non-U.S. GAAPnon-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Corporation's results of operations. Presentation of these non-U.S. GAAPnon-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Corporation evaluates its performance internally, and these non-U.S. GAAPnon-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of the Corporation and companies in the Corporation's industry. Management believes that these non-U.S. GAAPnon-GAAP financial measures, in addition to U.S. GAAP measures, are also useful to investors to evaluate the Corporation's results. Investors should recognize that the Corporation's presentation of these non-U.S. GAAPnon-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures ofat other companies. These non-U.S. GAAPnon-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for U.S. GAAP basis measures, and the Corporation strongly encourages a review of its consolidated financial statements in their entirety. Following are reconciliations of these non-U.S. GAAPnon-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30:measure:

Interest rate increases on both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the corresponding increases in FTE interest income and interest expense were largely the result of Fed Funds Rate increases during 2018. The increases in the Fed Funds Rate resulted in corresponding increases to the index rates for the Corporation's variable and adjustable rate loans, primarily the prime rate and the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR").

As summarized above, the increase in average interest-earning assets, primarily loans, since the third quarter of 2016 resulted in a $13.1 million increase in FTE interest income.

Interest rate increases on both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the corresponding increases in FTE interest income and interest expense were largely the result of Fed Funds Rate increases during 2018.

The ability to identify potential problem loans in a timely manner is important to maintaining an adequate allowance for credit losses. For commercial loans, commercial mortgages and construction loans to commercial borrowers, an internal risk rating process is used to monitor credit quality. The evaluation of credit risk for residential mortgages, home equity loans, construction loans to individuals, consumer loans and lease receivablesleases is based on payment history, through the monitoring of delinquency levels and trends. For a description of the Corporation's risk ratings, see Note 5,4, "Loans and Leases and Allowance for Credit Losses," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.







Total internally risk-rated loans were $11.4 billion and $10.9$11.7 billion as of Septemberboth June 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016, respectively.2018. The following table presents internal risk ratings for commercial loans, commercial mortgages and construction loans to commercial borrowers with internal risk ratings of Special Mention (considered criticized loans)"criticized" loans by banking regulators) or Substandard or lower (considered classified loans)"classified" loans by banking regulators), by class segment. The shift from special mention to substandard or lower from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 was primarily the result of downgrades of three large relationships to substandard during the first nine months of 2017.

As of March 31, 2019, the Corporation had repurchased approximately 4.5 million shares under this program for a total cost of $69.6 million, or $15.51 per share. During the second quarter of 2019, the Corporation repurchased 330,178 additional shares under this program for a total cost of approximately $5.5 million, or $16.51 per share, completing this program.

In March 2019, the Corporation's board of directors approved an extension, through December 31, 2017, to aadditional share repurchase program pursuant to which the Corporation is authorized to repurchase up to $50.0$100.0 million of its outstanding shares of common stock, or approximately 2.3%3.5% of its outstanding shares. Repurchased shares, through December 31, 2019. During the second quarter of 2019, the Corporation repurchased approximately 3.1 million shares under this program for a total cost of approximately $52.0 million, or $16.67 per share. Up to an additional $48.0 million of the Corporation's common stock may be repurchased under this program through December 31, 2019.

Total commissions and fees paid on stock repurchases during the first six months of 2019 were $76,500. Under the repurchase programs, repurchased shares were added to treasury stock, at cost. As permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements,


and subject to market conditions and other factors, purchases may be made from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, including, without limitation, through accelerated share repurchase transactions. The share repurchase program may be discontinued at any time. As of September 30, 2017, 1.5 million shares had been repurchased under this program for a total cost of $18.5 million, or $12.48 per share. Up to an additional $31.5 million of the Corporation's common stock may be repurchased under this program through December 31, 2017.


Regulatory Capital


The Corporation and its subsidiary banks are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by various banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements could result in certain actions by regulators that could have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements. In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board approved final rules (the "U.S. Basel III Capital Rules") establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations and implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's December 2010 framework for strengthening international capital standards. The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules substantially reviserevised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and depository institutions.


The minimum regulatory capital requirements established by the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules became effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2015, and will bewere fully phased in on January 1, 2019.




The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules require the Corporation and its bank subsidiaries to:

Meet a minimum Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.50% of risk-weighted assets and a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.00% of risk-weighted assets;

Continue to require a minimum Total capital ratio of 8.00% of risk-weighted assets and a minimum Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 4.00% of average assets; and

Comply with a revised definition of capital to improve the ability of regulatory capital instruments to absorb losses. Certain non-qualifying capital instruments, including cumulative preferred stock and trust preferred securities ("TruPS"), have been phased out as a component of Tier 1 capital for institutions of the Corporation's size.
When fully phased in on
As of January 1, 2019, the Corporation and its bank subsidiaries willare also be required to maintain a "capital conservation buffer" of 2.50% above the minimum risk-based capital requirements, which must be maintained to avoid restrictions on capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments.


The U.S. Basel III Capital Rules use a standardized approach for risk weightings that expands the risk-weightings for assets and off-balance sheet exposures from the previous 0%, 20%, 50% and 100% categories to a much larger and more risk-sensitive number of categories, depending on the nature of the assets and off-balance sheet exposures and resulting in higher risk weightsweightings for a variety of asset categories.


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, the Corporation and each of its bank subsidiaries met the minimum requirements of the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules, and each of the Corporation’s bank subsidiaries’ capital ratios exceeded the amounts required to be considered "well capitalized" as defined in the regulations. As of September 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation's capital levels also met the fully-phased infully phased-in minimum capital requirements, including the new capital conservation buffers, as prescribed in the U.S. Basel III Capital Rules.


As of June 30, 2019, each of the Corporation’s subsidiary banks was well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action based on their capital ratio calculations. To be categorized as well capitalized, these banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, Common Equity Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the regulation. There are no conditions or events since June 30, 2019 that management believes have changed the institutions’ capital categories.

The following table summarizes the Corporation’s capital ratios in comparison to regulatory requirements:

The decreases in regulatory capital ratios from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019 were mainly due to share repurchases.





Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk


Market risk is the exposure to economic loss that arises from changes in the values of certain financial instruments. The types of market risk exposures generally faced by financial institutions include interest rate risk, equity market price risk, debt security market price risk, foreign currency price risk and commodity price risk. Due to the nature of its operations, foreign currency price risk and commodity price risk are not significant to the Corporation.


Interest Rate Risk, Asset/Liability Management and Liquidity


Interest rate risk creates exposure in two primary areas. First, changes in rates have an impact on the Corporation’s liquidity position and could affect its ability to meet obligations and continue to grow. Second, movements in interest rates can create fluctuations in the Corporation’s net interest income and changes in the economic value of its equity.


The Corporation employs various management techniques to minimize its exposure to interest rate risk. An Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity and liquidity positions of the Corporation, approving asset and liability management policies, and overseeing the formulation and implementation of strategies regarding balance sheet positions.


The Corporation uses two complementary methods to measure and manage interest rate risk. They are simulation of net interest income and estimates of economic value of equity. Using these measurements in tandem provides a reasonably comprehensive summary of the magnitude of the Corporation's interest rate risk, level of risk as time evolves, and exposure to changes in interest rates.


Simulation of net interest income is performed for the next 12-month period. A variety of interest rate scenarios are used to measure the effects of sudden and gradual movements upward and downward in the yield curve. These results are compared to the results obtained in a flat or unchanged interest rate scenario. Simulation of net interest income is used primarily to measure the Corporation’s short-term earnings exposure to rate movements. The Corporation’s policy limits the potential exposure of net interest income, in a non-parallel instantaneous shock, to 10% of the base case net interest income for a 100 basis point shock in interest rates, 15% for a 200 basis point shock and 20% for a 300 basis point shock. A "shock" is an immediate upward or downward movement of interest rates. The shocks do not take into account changes in customer behavior that could result in changes to mix and/or volumes in the balance sheet, nor do theydoes it take into account the potential effects of competition on the pricing of deposits and loans over the forward 12-month period.


Contractual maturities and repricing opportunities of loans are incorporated in the simulation model as are prepayment assumptions, maturity data and call options inwithin the investment portfolio. Assumptions based on past experience are incorporated into the model for non-maturity deposit accounts. The assumptions used are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model's simulated results due to timing, amount and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies.


The following table summarizes the expected impact of abrupt interest rate changes, i.e. a non-parallel instantaneous shock, on net interest income as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172019 (due to the current level of interest rates, the 200 and 300 basis point downward shock scenarios arescenario is not shown):
Rate Shock(1)
Annual change
in net interest income
 Changechange in net interest income
+300 bp$93.9$62.6 million 15.5%9.3%
+200 bp+ $64.5$43.3 million 10.6%6.4%
+100 bp+ $32.9$22.3 million 5.4%3.3%
–100 bp$49.0$35.9 million 8.1%5.3%
–200 bp– $78.7 million– 11.7%


(1)These results include the effect of implicit and explicit interest rate floors that limit further reduction in interest rates.


Economic value of equity estimates the discounted present value of asset and liability cash flows. Discount rates are based upon market prices for like assets and liabilities. Abrupt changes or "shocks" in interest rates, both upward and downward, are used to determine the comparative effect of such interest rate movements relative to the unchanged environment. This measurement tool is used primarily to evaluate the longer-term repricing risks and options in the Corporation’s balance sheet. The Corporation's


policy limits the economic value of equity that may be at risk, in a non-parallel instantaneous shock, to 10% of the base case economic value of equity for a 100 basis point shock in interest rates, 20% for a 200 basis point shock and 30% for a 300 basis


point shock. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation was within economic value of equity policy limits for every 100 basis point shock.


Interest Rate Swaps


The Corporation enters into interest rate swaps with certain qualifying commercial loan customers to meet their interest rate risk management needs. The Corporation simultaneously enters into interest rate swaps with dealer counterparties, with identical notional amounts and terms. The net result of these interest rate swaps is that the customer pays a fixed rate of interest and the Corporation receives a floating rate. These interest rate swaps are derivative financial instruments thatand the gross fair values are recorded at their fair value in other assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Changessheets, with changes in fair value during the period are recorded in other non-interest expense on the consolidated statements of income.


Liquidity


The Corporation must maintain a sufficient level of liquid assets to meet the cash needs of its customers, who, as depositors, may want to withdraw funds or who, as borrowers, need credit availability. Liquidity is provided on a continuous basis through scheduled and unscheduled principal and interest payments on investments and outstanding loans and through the availability of deposits and borrowings. The Corporation also maintains secondary sources that provide liquidity on a secured and unsecured basis to meet short-term and long-term needs.


The Corporation maintains liquidity sources in the form of demand and savings deposits, brokered deposits, time deposits, repurchase agreements and short-term promissory notes. The Corporation can access additional liquidity from these sources, if necessary, by increasing the rates of interest paid on those accounts and borrowings. The positive impact to liquidity resulting from paying higher interest rates could have a detrimental impact on the net interest margin and net interest income if rates on interest-earning assets do not experience a proportionate increase. Borrowing availability with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank,FRB, along with federal funds lines at various correspondent banks, provides the Corporation with additional liquidity.


Each of the Corporation’s subsidiary banks is a member of the FHLB and has access to FHLB overnight and term credit facilities.As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation had $652.1 million$1.2 billion of advancesborrowings outstanding from the FHLB with an additional borrowing capacity of approximately $3.2$2.3 billion under these facilities. Advances from the FHLB are secured by qualifying commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans, investments and other assets.


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation had aggregate availability under federal funds lines of $1.1$1.5 billion, with $5.8$200.0 million borrowed against that amount. A combination of commercial real estate loans, commercial loans and securities are pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia to provide access to Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window borrowings. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation had $908.5$312 million of collateralized borrowing availability at the Discount Window, and no outstanding borrowings.


Liquidity must also be managed at the Fulton Financial Corporation parent company level. For safety and soundness reasons, banking regulations limit the amount of cash that can be transferred from subsidiary banks to the parent company in the form of loans and dividends. Generally, these limitations are based on the subsidiary banks’ regulatory capital levels and their net income. Management continues to monitor the liquidity and capital needs of the parent company and will implement appropriate strategies, as necessary, to remain adequatelysufficiently capitalized and to meet its cash needs.


The Corporation’s sources and uses of funds were discussed in general terms in the "Net Interest Income" section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The consolidated statements of cash flows provide additional information. The Corporation’s operating activities during the first ninesix months of 20172019 generated $194.4$78.8 million of cash, mainly due to net income. Cash used in investing activities was $1.2 billion,$362.5 million, mainly due to net increases in loansinvestments and short-term investments.loans. Net cash provided by financing activities was $945.7$336.8 million due mainly to increases in short-term borrowings, time deposits and long-term debt, partially offset by decreases in demand and short-term borrowings.savings deposits.


Equity Market Price Risk

Equity market price risk is the risk that changes in the values of equity investments could have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Corporation. As of September 30, 2017, equity investments consisted of $12.1 million of common stocks of publicly traded financial institutions and $1.0 million of other equity investments.

The equity investments most susceptible to equity market price risk are the financial institutions stocks, which had a cost basis of approximately $5.8 million and an estimated fair value of $12.1 million at September 30, 2017, including an investment in a single financial institution with a cost basis of $4.2 million and an estimated fair value of $8.8 million. The fair value of this investment


accounted for 73.4% of the fair value of the common stocks of publicly traded financial institutions. No other investment in a single financial institution in the financial institutions stock portfolio exceeded 10% of the portfolio's fair value. In total, net unrealized gains in this portfolio were approximately $6.3 million as of September 30, 2017.

Management continuously monitors the fair value of its equity investments and evaluates current market conditions and operating results of the issuers. Periodic sale and purchase decisions are made based on this monitoring process. None of the Corporation’s equity securities are classified as trading.

In addition to its equity portfolio, investment management and trust services income may be impacted by fluctuations in the equity markets. A portion of this revenue is based on the value of the underlying investment portfolios, many of which include equity investments. If the values of those investment portfolios decrease, whether due to factors influencing U.S. or international securities markets in general or otherwise, the Corporation’s revenue would be negatively impacted. In addition, the Corporation’s ability to sell its brokerage services in the future will be dependent, in part, upon consumers’ level of confidence in financial markets.

Debt Security Market Price Risk


Debt security market price risk is the risk that changes in the values of debt securities, unrelated to interest rate changes, could have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Corporation. The Corporation’s debt security investments consist primarily of U.S. government sponsored agency issued mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, state and municipal securities, U.S. government debt securities, auction rate securities and corporate debt securities.


All of the Corporation's investments in commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations have principal payments that are guaranteed by U.S. government sponsored agencies.


State and Municipal Securities


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation owned $413.9 million ofstate and municipal securities issued by various states or municipalities.municipalities with a total cost basis of $463.8 million and a fair value of $480.9 million, which includes both available for sale and held to maturity securities. Downward pressure on local tax revenues of issuers could have an adverse impact on the underlying credit quality of issuers. The Corporation evaluates existing and potential holdings primarily based on the creditworthiness of the issuing state or municipality and then, to a lesser extent, on any underlying credit enhancement. State or municipal securities can be supported by the general obligation of the issuing state or municipality, allowing the securities to be repaid by any means available to the issuing state or municipality. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, approximately 98% of state orand municipal securities were supported by the general obligation of corresponding states or municipalities. Approximately 60%67% of these securities were school district issuances, which are also supported by the states of the issuing municipalities.


Auction Rate Securities


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the Corporation’s investments in auction rate certificates ("ARCs"), a type of auction rate security, had a cost basis of $107.4 million and a fair value of $98.2$103.4 million.


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, the fair values of the ARCs currently in the portfolio were derived using significant unobservable inputs based on an expected cash flows model which produced fair values that were materially different frommay not represent those that wouldcould be expected from settlement of these investments in the current market. The expected cash flows model produced fair values which assumed a return to market liquidity sometime inwithin the next five years. The Corporation believes that the trusts underlying the ARCs will self-liquidate as student loans are repaid.


The credit quality of the underlying debt associated with the ARCs is also a factor in the determination of their estimated fair value. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, all of the ARCs were rated above investment grade. All of the loans underlying the ARCs have principal payments that are guaranteed by the federal government. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, all ARCs were current and making scheduled interest payments.


Corporate Debt Securities


The Corporation holds corporate debt securities in the form of pooled trust preferred securities, single-issuer trust preferred securities, subordinated debt and senior debt issued by financial institutions. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2019, these securities had an amortized cost of $92.4$194.9 million and an estimated fair value of $93.0$197.4 million.


See "Note 43 - Investment Securities," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion related to the Corporation’s other-than-temporary impairment evaluations for debt securities, and see "Note 1110 - Fair Value Measurements," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion related to the fair values of debt securities.
