Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policiesis one of the Company that materially affect its financial statements conform with GAAP. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementslargest providers of the Company have been prepared in conformity with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, and Notes thereto, for the year ended December 31, 2016, includedemployee benefit solutions in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2017.United States.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with 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 income and expense during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future period.Recent Industry Developments
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. These reclassifications had an immaterial effect on non-interest income, non-interest expense, net cash provided by operating activities, and net cash used for investing activities.
Significant Accounting Policy Updates
Centrally Cleared Derivatives
Effective duringDuring the first quarter and into the second quarter of 2016,2023, the Company offsetbanking industry experienced significant volatility with multiple high-profile bank failures and industry-wide concerns related to liquidity, deposit outflows, unrealized losses on securities, and eroding consumer confidence in the variation margin pertaining to derivatives reported onbanking system. Despite these negative industry developments, the Company's total deposits at June 30, 2023, were $58.7 billion, representing a net basis, subject to a legally enforceable master netting arrangement, with the same counterparty against the net derivative position on the Company's balance sheets. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange has amended their rulebooks to legally characterize variation margin payments for over-the-counter derivatives that clear, as settlements rather than collateral, effective January 3, 2017.
The Company has updated its significant accounting policies to classify variation margin deemed to be legal settlements as a single unit of account with the derivative, for accounting and presentation purposes. The policy update does not result in a change in the presentation of the Company's balance sheets as the Company previously offset the variation margin pertaining to derivatives reporting on a net basis, subject to a legally enforceable master netting arrangement, with the same counterparty against the net derivative position.
Accounting Standards Adopted during 2017
Effective January 1, 2017, the following new accounting guidance was adopted by the Company:
ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting
The Update impacted the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Update requires the Company to recognize the income tax effects of awards in the income statement on a prospective basis when the awards vest or are settled,$4.7 billion increase compared to within additional paid-in capital. As a result, applicable excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies are recorded as an income tax benefit or expense, respectively. The Company elected to present the classification on the statement of cash flows on a prospective basis to better align this presentation with the income tax effects.
The impact of the Update will vary from period to period based on the Company's stock price and the quantity of shares that vest or are settled within a given period.

The Update also requires the Company to elect the accounting for forfeitures of share-based payments by either (i) recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur or (ii) estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change, as is currently required. The Company elected to account for forfeitures of share-based payments by estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change, which is in accordance with the Company's previous accounting practices.
The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
ASU No. 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments.
The Update clarifies the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. The Update requires the assessment of embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. The Update clarified that companies are not required to assess whether the event triggering the ability to exercise the call/put option was also clearly and closely related.
The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, as the Company has not performed the additional step of assessing whether the event triggering the ability to exercise the call (put) option was clearly and closely related, which was deemed not required by the Update.
Accounting Standards Issued but not yet Adopted
The following list identifies ASUs applicable to the Company that have been issued by the FASB but are not yet effective:
ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.
The purpose of the Update is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The update requires a modified retrospective transition method in which the Company will recognize a cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance for each affected component of equity in the financial statements as of the date of adoption.
The Company is in the process of assessing all potential impacts of the standard.
The Update is effective for the first quarter of 2019, early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential to early adopt the Update.
ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) - Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.
The Update is intended to enhance the accounting for the amortization of premiums for purchased callable debt securities. Specifically, the Update shortens the amortization period for certain investments in callable debt securities purchased at a premium by requiring that the premium be amortized to the earliest call date. The Update is being issued in response to concerns from stakeholders that, current GAAP excludes certain callable debt securities from consideration of early repayment of principal even if the holder is certain that the call will be exercised.
The Update, upon adoption, is expected to accelerate the Company’s recognition of premium amortization on debt securities held within the portfolio. The amendments in the Update will be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly through retained earnings upon adoption.
Management is in the process of evaluating the full impact of adopting the Update including, but not limited to the following:
Modifying system amortization requirements;
Evaluation of premiums associated with debt securities to determine the appropriate cumulative-effect adjustment; and
Establishing new accounting policies pertaining to premium amortization on purchased callable debt securities.
The Update is effective for the first quarter of 2019, early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the potential to early adopt the Update.
ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.
The Update requires the Company to disaggregate the current-service-cost component from the other components of net benefit cost (the “other components”) and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement and present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if that subtotal is presented. In addition, the Update requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other components if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines.
The new guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company intends to adopt the Update for the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.
The Update eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment analysis. Step 2, requires the Company to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities). Under current guidance, Step 2 testing would be performed only if Step 1 testing indicated the fair value of the reporting unit is below the reporting unit’s carrying amount.
Once effective the Update will require the Company to record an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, eliminating the Step 2 requirements. The Company intends to adopt the Update for the first quarter of 2020. Adoption is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.
The Update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The Update addresses the following eight issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle.
The Company intends to adopt the Update for the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.
Current GAAP requires an "incurred loss" methodology for recognizing credit losses that delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred. Both financial institutions and users of their financial statements expressed concern that current GAAP restricts the ability to record credit losses that are expected, but do not yet meet the "probable" threshold.
The main objective of this Update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this Update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine credit loss estimates.
The Change from an "incurred loss" method to an "expected loss" method represents a fundamental shift from existing GAAP, and is likely to result in a material increase to the Company's accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. The Company has established a project lead and identified a working group comprised of members from different disciplines including Credit, Finance and Information Technology. The Company is in the early stages of evaluation of the effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements and related disclosures, but has begun to develop a roadmap which includes a consideration of external resources that may be required, use of existing and new models, data availability and system solutions to facilitate implementation. The ASU will be effective for the Company as of the first quarter 2020. While we are currently unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting the Update, we expect the impact of adoption will be significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan and securities portfolios as well as the economic conditions as of the adoption date.
ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).
The Update introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The Update also aligns certain of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in ASC 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", the FASB’s new revenue recognition standard (e.g., evaluating how collectability should be considered and determining when profit can be recognized).
Furthermore, the Update addresses other concerns including the elimination of the required use of bright-line tests for determining lease classification. Lessors are required to provide additional transparency into the exposure to the changes in value of their residual assets and how they manage that exposure.
The Company intends to adopt the Update for the first quarter of 2019 using the modified retrospective method. The Company is in the early assessment stage and will continue to review the existing lease portfolio to evaluate the impact of the new accounting guidance on the financial statements.

ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.
Equity investments not accounted for under the equity method or those that do not result in consolidation of the investee are to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. Entities are to present separately in other comprehensive income, the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when an election to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments has been made. Also, the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet has been eliminated.
The Company intends to adopt the Update for the first quarter of 2018. Adoption is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Also, subsequent ASUs issued to clarify this Topic.
The Update requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The Update excludes the Company's revenue associated with net interest income, and certain non-interest income lines items (loan and lease related fees, mortgage banking activities, increase in cash surrender value of life insurance policies, gain on sale of investment securities, net, impairment loss on securities recognized in earnings, and a majority of other income). As a result a substantial amount of the Company's revenue will not be affected.
The Company's deposit service fees, wealth and investment services, and certain other non-interest income items are within the scope of the Update. The Company's evaluation of the impacted revenue streams and associated customer contracts is near completion. While the assessment is not complete, the timing of the Company's revenue recognition is not expected to materially change.
The disclosure objective of the Update is to provide users of the financial statement with sufficient information to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue, certain costs, and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company expects to provide expanded qualitative disclosure pertaining to significant judgments, accounting policy elections and the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue arising from contracts with customers. Further the Company expects to provide expanded quantitative disclosure pertaining to the disaggregation of revenue arising from contracts with customers. The Company continues to assess the impact of the changes in disclosure required by guidance.
The Company intends to adopt the Update for the first quarter of 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective application with a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings, if necessary. The Company's evaluations are not final and are subject to change.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
The balance of OTTI, included in the amortized cost columns above, is related to certain CLO positions that were previously considered Covered Funds as defined by Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act, commonly known as the Volcker Rule. The Company has taken measures to bring its CLO positions into conformance with the Volcker Rule.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, OTTI of $126 thousand, related toprincipal held back in conjunction with the exercise of a clean-up call option for a Private Label MBS security, was recognized. To the extent that changes occur in interest rates, credit movements, and other factors that impact fair value and expected recovery of amortized cost of its investment securities, the Company may, in future periods, be required to recognize OTTI in earnings.

Impairment Analysis
The following impairment analysis by investment security type, summarizes the basis for evaluating if investment securities within the Company’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios have been impacted by OTTI. Unless otherwise noted for an investment security type, management does not intend to sell these investment securities and has determined, based upon available evidence, that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these investment securities before the recovery of their amortized cost. As such, based on the following impairment analysis, the Company does not consider these investment securities, in unrealized loss positions, to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017.
Available-for-Sale
Agency CMO. There were unrealized losses of $3.1 million on the Company’s investment in Agency CMO at September 30, 2017, compared to $3.5 milliondeposits at December 31, 2016. Unrealized losses decreased due to lower principal balances for this asset class2022. The Holding Company's and the Bank's regulatory capital ratios at SeptemberJune 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016. Market prices2023, also remained essentially unchanged. These investments are issued by a government agency or a government-sponsored agency and, therefore, are backed by certain government guarantees, either direct or indirect. The contractual cash flows for these investments are performing as expected, and there has been no change in the underlying credit quality.
Agency MBS. There were unrealized losses of $14.1 million on the Company’s investment in Agency MBS at September 30, 2017, compared to $19.5 million at December 31, 2016. Unrealized losses decreased due to lower principal balances for this asset class at September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016. Market prices remained essentially unchanged. These investments are issued by a government agency or a government-sponsored agency and, therefore, are backed by certain government guarantees, either direct or indirect.

CMBS. There were unrealized losses of $0.1 million on the Company’s investment in CMBS at September 30, 2017, compared to $0.7 million at December 31, 2016. The portfolio of mainly floating rate CMBS experienced lower principal balances and lower market spreads which resulted in higher security prices and smaller unrealized losses at September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016. Internal and external metrics are considered when evaluating potential OTTI. Internal stress tests are performed on individual bonds to monitor potential losses under stress scenarios. Contractual cash flows for these investments are performing as expected.
CLO. There were unrealized losses of $0.2 million on the Company's investment in CLO at September 30, 2017, compared to $0.5 million at December 31, 2016. Unrealized losses decreased due to lower principal balances and lower market spreads for the CLO portfolio at September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016.

Trust preferred. There were unrealized losses of $0.2 million on the Company's investment in trust preferred at September 30, 2017, compared to $1.7 million at December 31, 2016. Unrealized losses decreased due to lower market spreads for this asset class, which resulted in higher security prices compared to December 31, 2016. The trust preferred portfolio consists of three floating rate investments issued by two different large capitalization money center financial institutions, which continue to service the debt. The Company performs periodic credit reviewsexcess of the issuer to assess the likelihood for ultimate recovery of amortized cost.
Corporate debt. There were $0.1 million unrealized losses on the Company's corporate debt at September 30, 2017, compared to $0.4 million at December 31, 2016. Unrealized losses decreased due to lower principal balances for this asset class at September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016. Market prices remained essentially unchanged.

Agency CMBS. There were unrealized losses of $3.5 million on the Company's investment in Agency CMBS at September 30, 2017, compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2016. Unrealized losses increased due to lower prices on recently purchased ACMBS as principal balances increased at September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016. These investments are issued by a government agency or a government-sponsored agency and, therefore, are backed by certain government guarantees, either direct or indirect.

Municipal bonds and notes. There were unrealized losses of $13.2 million on the Company’s investment in municipal bonds and notes at September 30, 2017, compared to $25.7 million at December 31, 2016.

For the maturity schedule above, mortgage-backed securities and CLO, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been categorized based on the maturity date of the underlying collateral. Actual principal cash flows may differ from this maturity date presentation as borrowers have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.
At September 30, 2017, the Company had a carrying value of $1.2 billion in callable investment securities in its CMBS, CLO, and municipal bond portfolios. The Company considers prepayment risk in the evaluation of its interest rate risk profile. These maturities may not reflect actual durations, which may be impacted by prepayments.
Investment securities with a carrying value totaling $2.8 billion at September 30, 2017 and $2.5 billion at December 31, 2016 were pledged to secure public funds, trust deposits, repurchase agreements, and for other purposes, as required or permitted by law.

Note 3: Variable Interest Entities
The Company has an investment interest in several entities that meet the definition of a VIE. The following discussion provides information about the Company's VIEs.
Consolidated
Rabbi Trust. The Company established a Rabbi Trust to meet the obligations due under its Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers and to mitigate the expense volatility of the aforementioned plan. The funding of the Rabbi Trust and the discontinuation of the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers occurred during 2012.
Investments held in the Rabbi Trust primarily consist of mutual funds that invest in equity and fixed income securities. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the Rabbi Trust as it has the power to direct the activities of the Rabbi Trust that significantly affect the VIE's economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company consolidates the invested assets of the trust along with the total deferred compensation obligations and includes them in accrued interest receivable and other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Earnings in the Rabbi Trust, including appreciation or depreciation, are reflected as other non-interest income, and changes in the corresponding liability are reflected as compensation and benefits, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Non-Consolidated
Securitized Investments. The Company, through normal investment activities, makes passive investments in securities issued by VIEs for which Webster is not the manager. The investment securities consist of Agency CMO, Agency MBS, Agency CMBS, CLO and trust preferred. The Company has not provided financial or other support with respect to these investment securities other than its original investment. For these investment securities, the Company determined it is not the primary beneficiary due to the relative size of its investment in comparison to the principal amount of the structured securities issued by the VIEs, the level of credit subordination which reduces the Company’s obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits and its inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to the amount of its investment in the VIEs. Refer to Note 2: Investment Securities for additional information.
Tax Credit - Finance Investments. The Company makes equity investments in entities that finance affordable housing and other community development projects and provide a return primarily through the realization of tax benefits. In most instances the investments require the funding of capital commitments in the future. While the Company's investment in an entity may exceed 50% of its outstanding equity interests, the entity is not consolidated as Webster is not involved in its management. For these investments, the Company determined it is not the primary beneficiary due to its inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs.
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the aggregate carrying value of the Company's tax credit-finance investments were $35.7 million and $22.8 million, respectively. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, unfunded commitments have been recognized, totaling $24.3 million and $14.0 million, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Webster Statutory Trust. The Company owns all of the outstanding common stock of Webster Statutory Trust, which is a financial vehicle that has issued, and may issue in the future, trust preferred securities. The trust is a VIE in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary and therefore, is not consolidated. The trust's only assets are junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company, which were acquired by the trust using the proceeds from the issuance of the trust preferred securities and common stock. The junior subordinated debentures are included in long-term debt in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the related interest expense is reported as interest expense on long-term debt in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Other Investments. The Company invests in various alternative investments in which it holds a variable interest. Alternative investments are non-public entities which cannot be redeemed since the Company’s investment is distributed as the underlying equity is liquidated. For these investments, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary due to its inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs.
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the aggregate carrying value of the Company's other investments in VIEs were $13.0 million and $12.3 million, respectively, and the total exposure of the Company's other investments in VIEs, including unfunded commitments, were $22.4 million and $19.9 million, respectively.
The Company's equity interests in Tax Credit-Finance Investments, Webster Statutory Trust, and Other Investments are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For a further description of the Company's accounting policies regarding the consolidation of a VIE, refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in its 2016 Form 10-K.

Credit Quality Indicators. To measure credit risk for the commercial, commercial real estate, and equipment financing portfolios, the Company employs a dual grade credit risk grading system for estimating the probability of borrower default and the loss given default. The credit risk grade system assigns a rating to each borrower and to the facility, which together form a Composite Credit Risk Profile. The credit risk grade system categorizes borrowers by common financial characteristics that measure the credit strength of borrowers and facilities by common structural characteristics. The Composite Credit Risk Profile has ten grades, with each grade corresponding to a progressively greater risk of default. Grades (1) - (6) are considered pass ratings, and (7) - (10) are considered criticized,well-capitalized minimum as defined by the regulatory agencies. Risk ratings, assigned to differentiate risk within the portfolio, are reviewed on an ongoing basis and revised to reflect changes in a borrower's current financial position and outlook, risk profile, and the related collateral and structural position. Loan officers review updated financial information on at least an annual basis for all pass rated loans to assess the accuracy of the risk grade. Criticized loans undergo more frequent reviews and enhanced monitoring.
A (7) "Special Mention" credit has the potential weakness that, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset. An (8) "Substandard" asset has a well defined weakness that jeopardizes the full repayment of the debt. An asset rated (9) "Doubtful" has all of the same weaknesses as a substandard credit with the added characteristic that the weakness makes collection or liquidation in full, given current facts, conditions, and values, improbable. Assets classified as (10) "Loss" in accordance with regulatory guidelines are considered uncollectible and charged off.

For residential and consumer loans, the Company considers factors such as past due status, updated FICO scores, employment status, collateral, geography, loans discharged in bankruptcy, and the status of first lien position loans on second lien position loans as credit quality indicators. On an ongoing basis for portfolio monitoring purposes, the Company estimates the current value of property secured as collateral for both home equity and residential first mortgage lending products. The estimate is based on home price indices compiled by the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices. The trend data is applied to the loan portfolios taking into account the age of the most recent valuation and geographic area.

Note 5: Transfers of Financial Assets
The Company sells financial assets in the normal course of business, primarily residential mortgage loans sold to government-sponsored enterprises through established programs and securitizations. The gain or loss on residential mortgage loans sold and the related origination fee income, and the fair value adjustment to loans held-for-sale are included as mortgage banking activities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company may be required to repurchase a loan in the event of certain breaches of the representations and warranties, or in the event of default of the borrower within 90 days of sale, as provided for in the sale agreements. A reserve for loan repurchases provides for estimated losses pertaining to the potential repurchase of loans associated with the Company’s mortgage banking activities. The reserve reflects management’s evaluation of the identity of the counterparty, the vintage of the loans sold, the amount of open repurchase requests, specific loss estimates for each open request, the current level of loan losses in similar vintages held in the residential loan portfolio, and estimated recoveries on the underlying collateral. The reserve also reflects management’s expectation of losses from repurchase requests for which the Company has not yet been notified, as the performance of loans sold and the quality of the servicing provided by the acquirer also may impact the reserve. The provision recorded at the time of the loan sale is netted from the gain or loss recorded in mortgage banking activities, while any incremental provision, post loan sale, is recorded in other non-interest expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The following table provides a summary of activity in the reserve for loan repurchases:

Note 10: Regulatory Matters
Capital Requirements
Webster Financial Corporation is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve System, while Webster Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the OCC. Regulatory authorities can initiate certain mandatory actions if Webster Financial Corporation or Webster Bank fail to meet minimum capital requirements, which could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, both Webster Financial Corporation and Webster Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. These quantitative measures require minimum amounts and ratios to ensure capital adequacy.
Basel III total risk-based capital is comprised of three categories: CET1 capital, additional Tier 1 capital, and Tier 2 capital. CET1 capital includes common shareholders' equity, less deductions for goodwill, other intangibles, and certain deferred tax liabilities. Common shareholders' equity, for purposes of CET1 capital, excludes AOCL components as permitted by the opt-out election taken by Webster upon adoption of Basel III. Tier 1 capital is comprised of CET1 capital plus perpetual preferred stock, while Tier 2 capital includes qualifying subordinated debt and qualifying allowance for credit losses, that together equal total capital.

Note 12: Derivative Financial Instruments
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
Webster manages economic risks, such as interest rate, liquidity, and credit risks by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding in conjunction with the use of interest rate derivative financial instruments. Webster enters into interest rate derivatives to mitigate the exposure related to business activities that result in the future receipt or payment of, both known and uncertain, cash amounts that are impacted by interest rates. The primary objective for using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to interest expense by managing exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, Webster uses interest rate swaps and interest rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.
Interest rate swaps and interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges are designed to manage the risk associated with a forecasted event or an uncertain variable-rate cash flow. Forward-settle interest rate swaps protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on forecasted debt issuances. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for payment of an up-front premium.
Cash flow hedges are used to regulate the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate debt and forecasted issuances of debt. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives which are designated as cash flow hedges, and that qualify for hedge accounting, is recorded to AOCL and is reclassified into earnings in the subsequent periods that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of these derivatives, attributable to the difference in the effective date of the hedge and the effective date of the debt issuance, is recognized directly in earnings. During the periods presented, there was no ineffectiveness to be recognized in earnings.
Certain fixed-rate obligations can be exposed to a change in fair value attributable to changes in benchmark interest rates. On occasion, interest rate swaps will be used to manage this exposure. An interest rate swap which involves the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Webster making variable-rate payments over the life of the agreement, without the exchange of the underlying notional amount, is designated as a fair value hedge. For a qualifying derivative designated as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the gain or loss on the hedged item, is recognized in interest expense. During the periods presented, Webster did not have any interest rate derivative financial instruments designated as fair value hedges and as a result, there was no impact to interest expense.
Additionally, in order to address certain other risk management matters, the Company also utilizes derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting. These derivative instruments, which are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized each period as other non-interest income in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, are described in the following paragraphs.
Interest rate swap and cap contracts are sold to commercial and other customers who wish to modify loan interest rate sensitivity. These contracts are offset with dealer counterparty transactions structured with matching terms. As a result, there is minimal impact on earnings, except for fee income earned in such transactions.
RPAs are entered into as financial guarantees of performance on interest rate swap derivatives. The purchased (asset) or sold (liability) guarantee allows the Company to participate-in (fee received) or participate-out (fee paid) the risk associated with certain derivative positions executed with the borrower by the lead bank in a loan syndication.
Other derivatives include foreign currency forward contracts related to lending arrangements, a VISA equity swap transaction, and mortgage banking derivatives such as mortgage-backed securities related to residential loan commitments and loans held for sale. Mortgage banking derivatives are utilized by Webster in its efforts to manage risk of loss associated with its mortgage loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Prior to closing and funding certain single-family residential mortgage loans interest rate lock commitments are generally extended to the borrowers. During the period from commitment date to closing date, Webster is subject to the risk that market rates of interest may change. If market rates rise, investors generally will pay less to purchase such loans causing a reduction in the anticipated gain on sale of the loans, or possibly resulting in a loss. In an effort to mitigate such risk, forward delivery sales commitments are established under which Webster agrees to deliver whole mortgage loans to various investors or issue mortgage-backed securities. Mandatory forward commitments establish the price to be received upon the sale of the related mortgage loan, thereby mitigating certain interest rate risk. There is, however, still certain execution risk specifically related to Webster’s ability to close and deliver to its investors the mortgage loans it has committed to sell.

Amounts for the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting treatment are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on Webster's variable-rate debt. Over the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $1.2 million will be reclassified from AOCL as an increase to interest expense.
Webster records gains and losses related to hedge terminations to AOCL. These balances are subsequently amortized into interest expense over the respective terms of the hedged debt instruments. At September 30, 2017, the remaining unamortized loss on the termination of cash flow hedges is $16.5 million. Over the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $6.4 million will be reclassified from AOCL as an increase to interest expense.action.
Additional information about cash flow hedge activity impacting AOCL,regarding regulatory capital ratios can be found within Note 10: Regulatory Capital and the related amounts reclassified to interest expense is provided in Note 9: Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, Net of Tax. Information about the valuation methods used to measure the fair value of derivatives is provided in Note 13: Fair Value Measurements.

Offsetting Derivatives
Webster has entered into transactions with counterparties that are subject to a legally enforceable master netting agreement. Derivatives subject to a legally enforceable master netting agreement are reported on a net basis, net of cash collateral. Net gain positions are recorded as assets and are included in accrued interest receivable and other assets, while, net loss positions are recorded as liabilities and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities,Restrictions in the accompanyingNotes to Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Counterparty Credit Risk
Use of derivative contracts may expose the bank to counterparty credit risk. The Company has ISDA master agreements, including a Credit Support Annex, with all derivative counterparties. The ISDA master agreements provide that on each payment date, all amounts otherwise owing the same currency under the same transaction are netted so that only a single amount is owed in that currency. The ISDA provides, if the parties so elect, for such netting of amounts in the same currency among all transactions identified as being subject to such election that have common payment dates and booking offices. Under the Credit Support Annex, daily net exposure in excess of a negotiated threshold is secured by posted cash collateral. The Company has negotiated a zero threshold with the majority of its approved financial institution counterparties. In accordance with Webster policies, institutional counterparties must be analyzed and approved through the Company’s credit approval process.
The Company’s credit exposure on interest rate derivatives with non-dealer counterparties is limited to the net favorable value, including accrued interest, of all such instruments, reduced by the amount of collateral pledged by the counterparties. The Company's credit exposure related to derivatives with dealer counterparties is significantly mitigated with cash collateral equal to, or in excess of, the market value of the instrument updated daily.
In accordance with counterparty credit agreements and derivative clearing rules, the Company had approximately $20.7 million in net margin collateral posted with financial counterparties at September 30, 2017, comprised of $30.5 million in initial margin and $9.8 million in variation margin collateral received from financial counterparties or the derivative clearing organization. Collateral levels for approved financial institution counterparties are monitored daily and adjusted as necessary. In the event of default, should the collateral not be returned, the exposure would be offset by terminating the transaction.
The Company regularly evaluates the credit risk of its counterparties, taking into account the likelihood of default, net exposures, and remaining contractual life, among other related factors. The Company's net current credit exposure relating to interest rate derivatives with Webster Bank customers was $35.1 million at September 30, 2017. In addition, the Company monitors potential future exposure, representing its best estimate of exposure to remaining contractual maturity. The potential future exposure relating to interest rate derivatives with Webster Bank customers totaled $27.7 million at September 30, 2017. Credit risk exposure is mitigated as transactions with customers are generally secured by the same collateral of the underlying transactions being hedged.

Note 13: Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined using quoted market prices. However, in many instances, quoted market prices are not available. In such instances, fair values are determined using appropriate valuation techniques. Various assumptions and observable inputs must be relied upon in applying these techniques. Accordingly, categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As such, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate transfer of the respective asset or liability.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings or any part of a particular financial instrument. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These factors are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2: Fair value is calculated using significant inputs other than quoted market prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. The valuation may rely on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit ratings, etc.), or inputs that are derived principally or corroborated by market data, by correlation, or other means.
Level 3: Inputs for determining the fair value of the respective assets or liabilities are not observable. Level 3 valuations are reliant upon pricing models and techniques that require significant management judgment or estimation.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Available-for-Sale Investment Securities. When quoted prices are available in an active market, the Company classifies investment securities within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. U.S. Treasury Bills are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
When quoted market prices are not available, the Company employs an independent pricing service that utilizes matrix pricing to calculate fair value. Such fair value measurements consider observable data such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information, and respective terms and conditions for debt instruments. Management maintains procedures to monitor the pricing service's assumptions and establishes processes to challenge the pricing service's valuations that appear unusual or unexpected. Available-for-Sale investment securities which include Agency CMO, Agency MBS, Agency CMBS, CMBS, CLO, trust preferred, and corporate debt, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Instruments. Foreign exchange contracts are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Derivative instruments are valued using third-party valuation software, which considers the present value of cash flows discounted using observable forward rate assumptions. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange have amended their rulebooks to legally characterize variation margin payments for over-the-counter derivatives that clear as settlements rather than collateral, effective January 3, 2017. One of Webster's counterparty relationships was impacted by this change, resulting in the fair value of the instrument including cash collateral as a single unit of account.
The resulting fair values are validated against valuations performed by independent third parties and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In determining if any fair value adjustment related to credit risk is required, Webster evaluates the credit risk of its counterparties by considering factors such as the likelihood of default by the counterparties, its net exposures, the remaining contractual life, as well as the amount of collateral securing the position. Webster reviews its counterparty exposure on a regular basis, and, when necessary, appropriate business actions are taken to adjust the exposure. When determining fair value, Webster applies the portfolio exception with respect to measuring counterparty credit risk for all of its derivative transactions subject to a master netting arrangement. The change in value of derivative assets and liabilities attributable to credit risk was not significant during the reported periods.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives. Forward sales of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities are utilized by the Company in its efforts to manage risk of loss associated with its mortgage loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Prior to closing and funding certain single-family residential mortgage loans, an interest rate lock commitment is generally extended to the borrower. During the period from commitment date to closing date, the Company is subject to the risk that market rates of interest may change. If market rates rise, investors generally will pay less to purchase such loans resulting in a reduction in the gain on sale of the loans or, possibly, a loss. In an effort to mitigate such risk, forward delivery sales commitments are established, under which the Company agrees to deliver whole mortgage loans to various investors or issue mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of mortgage banking derivatives is determined based on current market prices for similar assets in the secondary market and, therefore, classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments Held in Rabbi Trust. Investments held in the Rabbi Trust primarily include mutual funds that invest in equity and fixed income securities. Shares of mutual funds are valued based on net asset value, which represents quoted market prices for the underlying shares held in the mutual funds. Therefore, investments held in the Rabbi Trust are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Webster has elected to measure the investments held in the Rabbi Trust at fair value. The cost basis of the investments held in the Rabbi Trust is $2.9 million at September 30, 2017.
Alternative Investments. Alternative investments are non-public entities that cannot be redeemed since the Company’s investment is distributed as the underlying equity is liquidated. Alternative investments in which the ownership percentage is greater than 3% are fair valued on a recurring basis based upon the net asset value of the respective fund. Alternative investments in which the ownership percentage is less than 3% are fair valued on a non-recurring basis. These alternative investments are recorded at cost, subject to impairment testing. Both recurring and non-recurring alternative investments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as they are non-public entities that cannot be redeemed since the Company's investment is distributed as the underlying investments are liquidated. At September 30, 2017, the alternative investments book value was $17.3 million and there was $9.4 million in remaining unfunded commitments.
Originated Loans Held For Sale. Residential mortgage loans typically are classified as held for sale upon origination based on management's intent to sell such loans. The Company generally records residential mortgage loans held for sale under the fair value option of ASC 825 "Financial Instruments". The fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale is based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions. Accordingly, such loans are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, for example, when there is evidence of impairment. The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured on a non-recurring basis.
Transferred Loans Held For Sale. Certain loans are transferred to loans held for sale once a decision has been made to sell such loans. These loans are accounted for at the lower of cost or market and are considered to be recognized at fair value when they are recorded at below cost. This activity is primarily commercial loans with observable inputs and is classified within Level 2. On the occasion should these loans include adjustments for changes in loan characteristics using unobservable inputs, the loans would be classified within Level 3.
Collateral Dependent Impaired Loans and Leases. Impaired loans and leases for which repayment is expected to be provided solely by the value of the underlying collateral are considered collateral dependent and are valued based on the estimated fair value of such collateral using customized discounting criteria. As such, collateral dependent impaired loans and leases are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets. The total book value of OREO and repossessed assets was $5.3 million at September 30, 2017. OREO and repossessed assets are accounted for at the lower of cost or market and are considered to be recognized at fair value when they are recorded at below cost. The fair value of OREO is based on independent appraisals or internal valuation methods, less estimated selling costs. The valuation may consider available pricing guides, auction results, and price opinions. Certain assets require assumptions about factors that are not observable in an active market in the determination of fair value; as such, OREO and repossessed assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The table below presents the valuation methodology and unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2017:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Servicing Assets
The Company is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for those assets and liabilities.
Cash, Due from Banks, and Interest-bearing Deposits. The carrying amount of cash, due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits is used to approximate fair value, given the short time frame to maturity and, as such, these assets do not present unanticipated credit concerns. Cash, due from banks, and interest-bearing deposits are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Held-to-Maturity Investment Securities. When quoted market prices are not available, the Company employs an independent pricing service that utilizes matrix pricing to calculate fair value. Such fair value measurements consider observable data such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information, and respective terms and conditions for debt instruments. Management maintains procedures to monitor the pricing service's assumptions and establishes processes to challenge the pricing service's valuations that appear unusual or unexpected. Held-to-Maturity investment securities, which include Agency CMO, Agency MBS, Agency CMBS, CMBS, municipal bonds and notes, and private label MBS securities, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Loans and Leases, net. The estimated fair value of loans and leases held for investment is calculated using a discounted cash flow method, using future prepayments and market interest rates inclusive of an illiquidity premium for comparable loans and leases. The associated cash flows are adjusted for credit and other potential losses. Fair value for impaired loans and leases is estimated using the net present value of the expected cash flows. Loans and leases are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Deposit Liabilities. The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Deposit liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Time Deposits. The fair value of a fixed-maturity certificate of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Time deposits are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Other Borrowings. The carrying value is an estimate of fair value for those securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings that mature within 90 days. The fair values of all other borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on current market rates adjusted, as appropriate, for associated credit risks. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Long-Term Debt. The fair value of FHLB advances and long-term debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow technique. Discount rates are matched with the time period of the expected cash flow and are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect credit risk. FHLB advances and long-term debt are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Mortgage Servicing Assets. Mortgage servicing assets are accounted for at cost, subject to impairment testing. Mortgage servicing assets are considered to be recognized at fair value when they are recorded at below cost. Changes in fair value are included as a component of other non-interest income in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Fair value is calculated as the present value of estimated future net servicing income and relies on market based assumptions for loan prepayment speeds, servicing costs, discount rates, and other economic factors; as such, the primary risk inherent in valuing mortgage servicing assets is the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the servicing revenue stream. Mortgage servicing assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 15: Share-Based Plans
Stock compensation plans
Webster maintains stock compensation plans under which non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or stock appreciation rights may be granted to employees and directors. The Company believes these share awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Stock compensation cost is recognized over the required service vesting period for the awards, based on the grant-date fair value, net of estimated forfeitures, and is included as a component of compensation and benefits reflected in non-interest expense.
The following table provides a summary of stock compensation expense recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income:

(1)Vested for purposes of recording compensation expense.
Time-based restricted stock. Time-based restricted stock awards vest over the applicable service period ranging from 1 to 5 years. The number of time-based awards that may be granted to an eligible individual in a calendar year is limited to 100,000 shares. Compensation expense is recorded over the vesting period based on a fair value, which is measured using the Company's common stock closing price at the date of grant.
Performance-based restricted stock. Performance-based restricted stock awards vest after a 3 year performance period. The awards vest with a share quantity dependent on that performance, in a range from 0 to 150%. The performance criteria for 50% of the shares granted in 2017 is based upon Webster's ranking for total shareholder return versus Webster's compensation peer group companies and the remaining 50% is based upon Webster's average of return on equity during the three year vesting period. The compensation peer group companies are utilized because they represent the financial institutions that best compare with Webster. The Company records compensation expense over the vesting period, based on a fair value calculated using the Monte-Carlo simulation model, which allows for the incorporation of the performance condition for the 50% of the performance-based shares tied to total shareholder return versus the compensation peer group, and based on a fair value of the market price on the date of grant for the remaining 50% of the performance-based shares tied to Webster's return on equity. Compensation expense is subject to adjustment based on management's assessment of Webster's return on equity performance relative to the target number of shares condition.
Stock options. Stock option awards have an exercise price equal to the market price of Webster Financial Corporation's stock on the date of grant. Each option grants the holder the right to acquire a share of Webster Financial Corporation common stock over a contractual life of up to 10 years. All awarded options have vested. There were 735,785 non-qualified stock options and 57,845 incentive stock options outstanding at September 30, 2017.

Note 16: Segment Reporting
Webster’s operations are organized into three reportable segments that represent its primary businesses - Commercial Banking, Community Banking and HSA Bank. These three segments reflect how executive management responsibilities are assigned, the primary businesses, the products and services provided, the type of customer served, and how discrete financial information is currently evaluated. The Corporate Treasury unit of the Company, along with the amounts required to reconcile profitability metrics to amounts reported in accordance with GAAP, are included in the Corporate and Reconciling category.
Description of Segment Reporting Methodology
Webster’s reportable segment results are intended to reflect each segment as if it were a stand-alone business. Webster uses an internal profitability reporting system to generate information by operating segment, which is based on a series of management estimates and allocations regarding funds transfer pricing, provision for loan and lease losses, non-interest expense, income taxes, and equity capital. These estimates and allocations, certain of which are subjective in nature, are periodically reviewed and refined. Changes in estimates and allocations that affect the reported results of any operating segment do not affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of Webster as a whole. The full profitability measurement reports, which are prepared for each operating segment, reflect non-GAAP reporting methodologies. The differences between full profitability and GAAP results are reconciled in the Corporate and Reconciling category.
Webster allocates interest income and interest expense to each business, while also transferring the primary interest rate risk exposures to the Corporate and Reconciling category, using a matched maturity funding concept called Funds Transfer Pricing. The allocation process considers the specific interest rate risk and liquidity risk of financial instruments and other assets and liabilities in each line of business. The matched maturity funding concept considers the origination date and the earlier of the maturity date or the repricing date of a financial instrument to assign an FTP rate for loans and deposits originated each day. Loans are assigned an FTP rate for funds used and deposits are assigned an FTP rate for funds provided. This process is executed by the Company’s Financial Planning and Analysis division and is overseen by ALCO.
Webster allocates the provision for loan and lease losses to each segment based on management’s estimate of the inherent loss content in each of the specific loan and lease portfolios. Provision expense for certain elements of risk that are not deemed specifically attributable to a reportable segment, such as the provision for the consumer liquidating portfolio, is shown as part of the Corporate and Reconciling category.
Webster allocates a majority of non-interest expense to each reportable segment using a full-absorption costing process. Costs, including corporate overhead, are analyzed, pooled by process, and assigned to the appropriate reportable segment. Income tax expense is allocated to each reportable segment based on the consolidated effective income tax rate for the period shown.
Segment Reporting Modifications
The 2016 segment results have been adjusted for comparability to the 2017 segment presentation for the following changes.
To further strengthen Webster's ability to deliver the totality of its products and services to the owners and executives of commercial clients and other high net worth individuals, an organizational change was made during the second quarter of 2017. Effective April 1, 2017, the head of Private Banking reports directly to the head of Commercial Banking. The current organizational structure reflects how executive management responsibilities are assigned and reviewed. As a result of this change, the Private Banking and Commercial Banking operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment, Commercial Banking.
In late 2007 Webster discontinued its indirect residential construction lending and its indirect home equity lending outside of its primary New England market area referred to as National Wholesale Lending. Webster placed these two portfolios into a liquidating loan portfolio included within the Corporate and Reconciling category. The balance of the home equity liquidating loan portfolio was $65.0 million at December 31, 2016. As the remainder of this portfolio has been performing in the same manner as the continuing home equity portfolio, management has decided to combine the liquidating loan portfolio with the continuing home equity loan portfolio. The combined portfolio is included in the Community Banking reportable segment.

Note 17: Commitments and Contingencies
Credit-Related Financial Instruments
The Company offers credit-related financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet certain financing needs of its customers, that involve off-balance sheet risk. These transactions may include an unused commitment to extend credit, standby letter of credit, or commercial letter of credit. Such transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk.
The following table summarizes the outstanding amounts of credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk:

 46,497
Total credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk$5,244,643
 $5,399,762

Commitments to Extend Credit. The Company makes commitments under various terms to lend funds to customers at a future point in time. These commitments include revolving credit arrangements, term loan commitments, and short-term borrowing agreements. Most of these loans have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses where a fee may be required. Since commitments routinely expire without being funded, or after required availability of collateral occurs, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.
Standby Letter of Credit.A standby letter of credit commits the Company to make payments on behalf of customers if certain specified future events occur. The Company has recourse against the customer for any amount required to be paid to a third party under a standby letter of credit, which is often part of a larger credit agreement under which security is provided. Historically, a large percentage of standby letters of credit expire without being funded. The contractual amount of a standby letter of credit represents the maximum amount of potential future payments the Company could be required to make, and is the Company's maximum credit risk.
Commercial Letter of Credit.A commercial letter of credit is issued to facilitate either domestic or foreign trade arrangements for customers. As a general rule, drafts are committed to be drawn when the goods underlying the transaction are in transit. Similar to a standby letter of credit, a commercial letter of credit is often secured by an underlying security agreement including the assets or inventory to which they relate.
These commitments subject the Company to potential exposure in excess of the amounts recorded in the financial statements, and therefore, management maintains a specific reserve for unfunded credit commitments. This reserve is reported as a component of accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table provides a summary of activity in the reserve for unfunded credit commitments:

Litigation
Webster is involved in routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business and is subject to loss contingencies related to such litigation and claims arising therefrom. Webster evaluates these contingencies based on information currently available, including advice of counsel and assessment of available insurance coverage. Webster establishes an accrual for litigation and claims when a loss contingency is considered probable and the related amount is reasonably estimable. This accrual is periodically reviewed and may be adjusted as circumstances change. Webster also estimates certain loss contingencies for possible litigation and claims, whether or not there is an accrued probable loss. Webster believes it has defenses to all the claims asserted against it in existing litigation matters and intends to defend itself in all matters.
Based upon its current knowledge, after consultation with counsel and after taking into consideration its current litigation accrual, Webster believes that at September 30, 2017 any reasonably possible losses, in addition to amounts accrued, are not material to Webster’s consolidated financial condition. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such actions and proceedings, there is no assurance that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not significantly exceed the amounts currently accrued by Webster or that the Company’s litigation accrual will not need to be adjusted in future periods. Such an outcome could be material to the Company’s operating results in a particular period, depending on, among other factors, the size of the loss or liability imposed and the level of the Company’s income for that period.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements.
interLINK Acquisition
On January 11, 2023, Webster acquired interLINK, a technology-enabled deposit management platform that administers over $9 billion of deposits from FDIC-insured cash sweep programs between banks and broker/dealers and clearing firms. The acquisition expanded the Company's core deposit funding sources and scalable liquidity and added another technology-enabled channel to its already differentiated, omnichannel deposit gathering capabilities. At June 30, 2023, interLINK provided the Company with an additional $4.3 billion of money market deposits.
Additional information regarding the acquisition of interLINK can be found within Note 2: Mergers and Acquisitions in the Notes thereto, forto Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements.
Sterling Integration Update
On January 31, 2022, Webster completed its merger with Sterling. Significant progress on integration and conversion efforts was made throughout the year ended December 31, 2016, included2022, and the Company remains on track with key project milestones as of the second quarter of 2023, with a continued focus on business-as-usual operations.
The significant accomplishments achieved as of the end of the second quarter of 2023 were as follows:
1.The completion of final preparations for core conversion, including additional systems integrations and data validation exercises, user acceptance testing, financial center staffing and training plans, three mock conversions, employee training on new systems and processes, and customer communications;
2.The consolidation of bank routing numbers;
3.The connection of the ATM network to the go-forward environment; and
4.The implementation of a new call center interactive voice response system.
As originally planned, the core conversion of legacy Webster and legacy Sterling was completed in July 2023.

LIBOR Transition Update
The Company has a LIBOR transition plan in place that is commensurate with identified LIBOR transition risks and exposures, and is aligned with regulatory guidance and ARRC best practices. In preparation for the June 30, 2023 deadline for LIBOR cessations, management made significant progress on its 2016 Form 10-K,LIBOR transition plan throughout the first and in conjunctionsecond quarters of 2023, addressing emerging issues and risks as they arose, while closely monitoring legislative and regulatory guidance associated with the Condensed Consolidated Financial StatementsLIBOR transition.
Effective July 1, 2023, LIBOR is no longer published for the overnight, one-month, three-month, six-month, and Notes thereto included in Item 1twelve-month settings. Alternative reference rates, including Federal fall-backs, which are to be used to various products, have been incorporated into the Company's LIBOR remediation plans. As of the date of this report. Operating results forQuarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicativeCompany remains focused on its remediation of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2017, or any future period.final remaining legacy LIBOR contracts, which are to transition to their applicable alternate reference rate at their first rate reset date after June 30, 2023. The Company also continues to monitor and respond to market developments, and regulatory and accounting requirements.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 2016 Form 10-K. Modifications to significant accounting policies made during the year are described in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report. The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP and practices generally applicable to the financial services industry requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and to disclose contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management has identified the Company's most critical accounting policies as:
allowance for loan and lease losses;
fair value measurements for valuation of investments and other financial instruments;
evaluation for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets; and
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets and the measurement of uncertain tax positions.
These particular significant accounting policies are considered most critical in that they are important to the Company’s financial condition and results, and they require management’s subjective and complex judgment as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The accounting policies and estimates, including the nature of the estimates and types of assumptions used, are described throughout Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Webster's 2016 Form 10-K and Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of this report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures identified in the preceding table provide both management and investors with information useful in understanding Webster's financial position, results of operations, the Company's financial performance, performance trendsstrength of its capital position, and financial position.overall business performance. These measures are used by management for internal planning and forecasting purposes, as well as by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties to compareassess peer company operating performance. Management believes that thethis presentation, together with the accompanying reconciliations, provides investors with a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company's business and allows investors to view its performance in a similar manner.
Tangible book value per common share represents stockholders’ equity less preferred stock and goodwill and other intangible assets (tangible common equity) divided by common shares outstanding at the end of the reporting period. The tangible common equity ratio represents tangible common equity divided by total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets (tangible assets). Both of these measures are used by management to evaluate the Company's capital position. The annualized return on average tangible common stockholders' equity is calculated using net income available to common stockholders, adjusted for the annualized tax-effected amortization of intangible assets, as a percentage of average tangible common equity. This measure is used by management to assess the Company's performance against its peer financial institutions. The efficiency ratio, which represents the costs expended to generate a dollar of revenue, is calculated excluding certain non-operational items in order to measure how well the Company is managing its recurring operating expenses.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results.financial measures. Because
non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these measures with other companies that present financial measures having the same or similar names.
The following tables reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures withto the most comparable financial measures defined by GAAP:

2022, respectively. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earninginterest-earning assets such as(i.e., loans and investments,leases and investment securities) and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities such as(i.e., deposits and borrowings,borrowings), which are used to fund those assets. Net interest income is the Company's largest source of revenue, representing 75.4% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.interest-earning assets and other activities. Net interest margin is calculated as the ratio of tax-equivalentFTE net interest income to average earning assets forinterest-earning assets.
Net interest income, net interest margin, yields, and ratios on a FTE basis are considered non-GAAP financial measures, and are used by management to evaluate the period.comparability of the Company's revenue arising from both taxable and non-taxable sources. FTE adjustments are determined assuming a statutory federal income tax rate of 21%.
Net interest income and net interest margin are impactedinfluenced by the level of interest rates,volume and mix of assets earning and liabilities paying those interest rates, and the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.liabilities, changes in interest rate levels, re-pricing frequencies, contractual maturities, prepayment behavior, and the use of interest rate derivative financial instruments. These conditionsfactors are influencedaffected by changes in economic conditions, that impact interest rate policy, competitive conditions that impact loanwhich impacts monetary policies, competition for loans and deposit pricing strategies,deposits, as well as the extent of interest lost toon non-performing assets.
Webster manages the risk of changes in interest rates on net interest income and net interest margin through ALCO and through related interest rate risk monitoring and management policies. Four main tools are used for managing interest rate risk:
the size, duration and credit risk of the investment portfolio,
the size and duration of the wholesale funding portfolio,
off-balance sheet interest rate contracts, and
the pricing and structure of loans and deposits.
ALCO meets at least monthly to make decisions on the investment and funding portfolios based on the economic outlook, its interest rate expectations, the portfolio risk position, and other factors.
The Federal Open Market Committee increased the federal funds rate target range from 0.50-0.75% at December 31, 2016, to 0.75-1.00% effective March 16, 2017 and, to 1.00-1.25% effective June 15, 2017. See the "Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk" section for further discussion of Webster’s interest rate risk position.

Average loans and leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $1.1 billion compared to the average for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The loan and lease portfolio comprised 70.3% of the average interest-earning assets at September 30, 2017 compared to 69.3% of the average interest-earning assets at September 30, 2016. The loan and lease portfolio yield increased 26 basis points to 4.05% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the loan and lease portfolio yield of 3.79% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in the yield on the average loan and lease portfolio is due to increased yield on floating rate loans as well as increased spreads on loan originations.
Average investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $148.8 million compared to the average for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The investments portfolio comprised 29.6% of the average interest-earning assets at September 30, 2017 compared to 30.6% of the average interest-earning assets at September 30, 2016. The investments portfolio yield increased 3 basis points to 2.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the investments portfolio yield of 2.96% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in the yield on the investments portfolio is primarily due to a reduction in premium amortization from slower prepayment speeds and an increased yield on floating rate securities, more than offsetting lower current market rates on investment securities purchases compared to the yield on investment securities paydowns and maturities.
Average total deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $1.6 billion compared to the average for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is comprised of an increase of $236.9 million in non-interest-bearing deposits and an increase of $1.4 billion in interest-bearing deposits. The increase in average interest-bearing deposits, and an improved product mix to low-cost deposits, was primarily due to health savings account deposit growth. The average cost of deposits was 0.29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 0.26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The slight increase in the average cost of deposits is mainly the result of an increase in the rate paid on public money market accounts. Higher cost time deposits, decreased to 12.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 13.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as a percentage of total interest-bearing deposits.
Average total borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $569.4 million compared to the average for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Average securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings decreased $58.5 million, and average FHLB advances decreased $510.9 million as utilization of advances maturing within one year declined significantly. The average cost of borrowings increased 35 basis point to 1.85% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 1.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in average cost of borrowings is the result of the federal funds rate being increased three times between December 2016 and June 2017.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
The ALLL is a significant accounting estimate that is determined through periodic and systematic detailed reviews ofAdditional information regarding the Company's loanprovision for credit losses and lease portfolio. The ALLL is determined based on an analysis which assessesACL can be found under the inherent risk for probable losses within the portfolio. Significant judgments and estimates are necessary in the determination of the ALLL. Significant judgments include, among others, loan risk ratings and classifications, the probability of loan defaults, the net loss exposure in the event of loan defaults, the loss emergence period, the determination and measurement of impaired loans, and other quantitative and qualitative considerations.
At September 30, 2017, the ALLL totaled $201.8 million, or 1.16% of total loans and leases, as compared to $194.3 million, or 1.14% of total loans and leases, at December 31, 2016.

Income Taxes
WebsterComparison to Prior Year Quarter
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recognized income tax expense of $30.3$62.6 million and $81.3$54.8 million, respectively, reflecting effective tax rates of 31.9%21.0% and 30.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared to $24.4 million and $72.5 million and 32.1% and 32.7%23.1%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
The increasesincrease in income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 as comparedis due to 2016 principally reflect thea higher levelslevel of pre-tax income in 2017, while the decreases in the effective rates in those same periods principally reflect $5.9 million of excess tax benefits recognized under ASU No. 2016-09 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, which includes $0.5 million during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.
See “Accounting Standards Adopted During 2017” section of Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies2023. The decrease in the Noteseffective tax rate is primarily due to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewherean increase in this reporttax-exempt interest income and tax credits and a decrease in state and local tax in 2023 as compared to 2022, partially offset by the effects of higher pre-tax income and non-deductible FDIC premiums in 2023 as compared to 2022.
Comparison to Prior Year to Date
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recognized income tax expense of $128.5 million and $21.2 million, respectively, reflecting effective tax rates of 22.0% and 11.4%, respectively.
The lower income tax expense recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2022, reflected the recognition of the pre-tax loss and $33.6 million income tax benefit in the first quarter of 2022 associated with the Sterling merger, which resulted in decreases to both income tax expense and the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022, making comparisons to the current period not meaningful.

Community Bankingunits. is comprised of Personal Banking and Business Banking operating segments.
Through a distribution network, consisting of 167 banking centers and 338 ATMs, a customer care center, and a full range of web and mobile-based banking services, it serves consumer and business customers primarily throughout southern New England and into Westchester County, New York.

carriers, benefit consultants, and financial advisors.

As such, net interest income represents the difference between a funding credit allocation, reflecting the value of the duration funding, and the interest paid on deposits. In addition, non-interest revenue is generated predominantly through service fees and interchange income.
Segment Results
The 2016 segment results have been adjusted for comparability to the 2017 segment presentation for the following changes:
To further strengthen Webster's ability to deliver the totalityConsumer Banking serves individual customers and small businesses with less than $2 million of itsrevenues by offering consumer deposits, residential mortgages, home equity lines, secured and unsecured loans, debit and credit card products, and investment services. Consumer Banking operates a distribution network consisting of 199 banking centers and 350 ATMs, a customer care center, and a full range of web and mobile-based banking services, to the owners and executives of commercial clients and other high net worth individuals, an organizational change was made during the second quarter of 2017. Effective April 1, 2017, the head of Private Banking reports directly to the head of Commercial Banking. The current organizational structure reflects how executive management responsibilities are assigned and reviewed. As a result of this change, the Private Banking and Commercial Banking operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment, Commercial Banking.
In late 2007 Webster discontinued its indirect residential construction lending and its indirect home equity lending outside of its primaryprimarily throughout southern New England market area, referred to as National Wholesale Lending. Webster placed these two portfolios into a liquidating loan portfolio included within the Corporate and Reconciling category. The balance of the home equity liquidating loan portfolio was $65.0 million at December 31, 2016. As the remainder of this portfolio has been performing in the same manner as the continuing home equity portfolio, management has decided to combine the liquidating loan portfolio with the continuing home equity loan portfolio. The combined portfolio is included in the Community Banking reportable segment.

The following tables present net income (loss), selected balance sheet information, and assets under administration/management for Webster’s reportable segments and the CorporateNew York Metro and Reconciling category for the periods presented:Suburban markets.

Held-to-maturity securities increased $0.3 billion, or 5.8%, from $6.6 billion at December 31, 2022, to $6.9 billion at
June 30, 2023, primarily due to purchases exceeding paydown activities, particularly across
the extent thatAgency MBS and Agency CMBS categories. The average FTE yield in the held-to-maturity portfolio was 2.99% and 2.91% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to 2.25% and 2.15% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The 74 and 76 basis point increases, respectively, are primarily due to higher market rates on securities purchased in 2023.
At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, gross unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities were $878.6 million and $806.2 million, respectively. The $72.4 million increase is primarily due to higher market rates. Held-to-maturity securities are evaluated for credit movementslosses on a quarterly basis under the CECL methodology. At both June 30, 2023, and other related factors influenceDecember 31, 2022, the fair value of its investmentACL on held-to-maturity securities the Company may be required to record impairment charges for OTTI in future periods.was $0.2 million.

Total residential loans were $4.5 billion(1)The amortized cost balances at SeptemberJune 30, 2017, an increase of $240.8 million from2023, and December 31, 2016. The net increase is a result of direct and correspondent originations of $632.8 million, partially offset by payments and payoffs.
Total consumer loans were $2.6 billion at September 30, 2017, a decrease of $117.9 million from December 31, 2016. The net decrease is primarily due to lower utilization of home equity lines.
Total commercial loans were $5.4 billion at September 30, 2017, an increase of $408.1 million from December 31, 2016. The net increase primarily related to originations of $1.8 billion, partially offset by payments and payoffs.
Total commercial real estate loans were $4.5 billion at September 30, 2017, a decrease of $46.7 million from December 31, 2016. The net decrease is a result of originations of $570.2 million, more than offset by payments and payoffs.
Equipment financing loans and leases were $562.2 million at September 30, 2017, a decrease of $67.9 million from December 31, 2016. The net decrease was primarily related to scheduled amortization and higher prepayments, partially offset by originations of $96.3 million.

Asset Quality
Management maintains asset quality within established risk tolerance levels through its underwriting standards, servicing, and management of loan and lease performance. Loans and leases, particularly where a heightened risk of loss has been identified, are regularly monitored to mitigate further deterioration which could potentially impact key measures of asset quality in future periods. Past due loans and leases, non-performing assets, and credit loss levels are considered to be key measures of asset quality.

Potential Problem Loans and Leases
Potential problem loans and leases are defined by management as certain loans and leases that, for;
commercial, commercial real estate, and equipment financing are performing loans and leases with a well defined weakness that jeopardizes the full repayment of the debt where there is also information which causes management to have serious concern about the ability of a borrower to comply with the present repayment terms in the future, and
residential and consumer are performing loans with a delinquency migration that approaches a period which would historically result in non-accrual status.
Potential problem loans and leases exclude loans and leases past due 90 days or more and accruing, non-accrual loans and leases, and TDRs. Management monitors potential problem loans and leases due to a higher degree of risk associated them. The current expectation of probable losses is included in the ALLL, however management cannot predict whether these potential problem loans and leases ultimately will become non-performing or result in a loss. In addition to loans and leases past due 90 days or more and accruing and TDRs, which are contained elsewhere within this section, the Company had potential problem loans and leases of $239.6$628.9 million at September 30, 2017 compared to $263.3and $594.7 million, at December 31, 2016.respectively.

Non-performing assets increased $31.0 million at September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016. The increase in non-performing assets at September 30, 2017 is primarily due to three middle market loans that were moved to non-accrual during the year and are being actively monitored and managed, with appropriate reserves established at the time of move to non-accrual. As a result, overall non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets increased to 0.64% at September 30, 2017 as compared to 0.53% at December 31, 2016.

Impaired Loans and Leases
Loans are considered impaired when it becomes probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. Impairment is evaluated on a pooled basis for smaller-balance loans of a similar nature. Consumer and residential loans for which the borrower has been discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy are considered collateral dependent impaired loans at the date of discharge. Commercial, commercial real estate, and equipment financing loans and leases over a specific dollar amount, risk rated substandard or worse and non-accruing, all TDRs, and all loans that have had a partial charge-off are evaluated individually for impairment.
To the extent that an impaired loan or lease balance is collateral dependent, the Company evaluates the fair value of the collateral. Impairment is calculated as the excess of the present value of estimated future cash flows using the original interest rate of the loan, or at the fair value of collateral, less estimated selling costs and other customized discounting criteria.
For residential and consumer collateral dependent loans, a third-party appraisal is obtained upon loan default. Fair value of the collateral for residential and consumer collateral dependent loans is reevaluated every six months. Fair value is also reassessed, with any excess amount charged off, for consumer loans that reach 180 days past due in accordance with Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council guidelines. For commercial, commercial real estate, and equipment financing collateral dependent loans and leases, The Company's impairment process requires obtaining a third-party appraisal or asset valuation, an interim valuation analysis, blue book reference, or other internal methods, when determining the fair value of the collateral. Fair value of the collateral for commercial loans is reevaluated quarterly. Whenever the Company has a third-party real estate appraisal performed by independent licensed appraisers, a licensed in-house appraisal officer or qualified reviewer reviews these appraisals for compliance with the Financial Institutions Reform Recovery and Enforcement Act and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.
A fair value shortfall is recorded as an impairment reserve, thereby increasing the ALLL. Subsequent to an appraisal or other fair value estimate, should reliable information come to management's attention that the value has declined further, additional impairment reserves may be recorded to reflect the particular situation. Any impaired loan for which no specific valuation allowance was necessary is the result of either sufficient cash flow or sufficient collateral coverage of the book balance.
At September 30, 2017, there were 1,612 impaired loans and leases with a recorded investment balance of $270.2 million, which included loans and leases of $167.8 million with an impairment allowance of $17.8 million. This compares to 1,635 impaired loans and leases with a recorded investment balance of $249.4 million, which included loans and leases of $152.6 million, with an impairment allowance of $18.6 million at December 31, 2016. For additional information, see Note 4: Loans and Leases in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
A modified loan is considered a TDR when two conditions are met: (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties; and (ii) the modification constitutes a concession. Modified terms are dependent upon the financial position and needs of the individual borrower. The Company considers all aspects of the restructuring in determining whether a concession has been granted, including the debtor's ability to access market rate funds. In general, a concession exists when the modified terms of the loan are more attractive to the borrower than standard market terms. Common modifications include material changes in covenants, pricing, and forbearance. Loans for which the borrower has been discharged under Chapter 7 bankruptcy are considered collateral dependent TDRs and thus, impaired at the date of discharge and charged down to the fair value of collateral less cost to sell.
The Company’s policy is to place consumer loan TDRs, except those that were performing prior to TDR status, on non-accrual status for a minimum period of six months. Commercial TDRs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis for determination of accrual status. Loans qualify for return to accrual status once they have demonstrated performance with the restructured terms of the loan agreement for a minimum of six months. Initially, all TDRs are reported as impaired. Generally, a TDR is classified as an impaired loan and reported as a TDR for the remaining life of the loan. Impaired and TDR classification may be removed if the borrower demonstrates compliance with the modified terms for a minimum of six months and through one fiscal year-end, and the restructuring agreement specifies a market rate of interest equal to that which would be provided to a borrower with similar credit at the time of restructuring. In the limited circumstance that a loan is removed from TDR classification, it is the Company’s policy to continue to base its measure of loan impairment on the contractual terms specified by the loan agreement.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses Methodology
The ALLL policy is considered a critical accounting policy. Executive management reviews and advises on the adequacy of the ALLL reserve, which is maintained at a level deemed sufficient by management to cover probable losses inherent within the loan and lease portfolios.
The quarterly process for estimating probable losses is based on predictive models, to measure the current risk profile of loan portfolio and combines other quantitative and qualitative factors together with the impairment reserve to determine the overall reserve requirement. Management's judgment and assumptions influence loss estimates and ALLL balances. Quantitative and qualitative factors that management considers include factors such as the nature and volume of portfolio growth, national and regional economic conditions and trends, other internal performance metrics, and how each of these factors is expected to impact near term loss trends. While actual future conditions and realized losses may vary significantly from assumptions, management believes the ALLL is adequate at September 30, 2017.
The Company’s methodology for assessing an appropriate level of the ALLL includes three key elements:
Impaired loans and leases are either analyzed on an individual or pooled basis and assessed for specific reserves measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the loan or lease, except that as a practical expedient, impairment may be measured based on a loan or lease's observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan or lease is collateral dependent. A loan or lease is collateral dependent if the repayment of the loan or lease is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral. The Company considers the pertinent facts and circumstances for each impaired loan or lease when selecting the appropriate method to measure impairment and evaluates, on a quarterly basis, each selection to ensure its continued appropriateness.
Loans and leases that are not considered impaired and have similar risk characteristics, are segmented into homogeneous pools and modeled using quantitative methods. The Company's loss estimate for its commercial portfolios utilizes an expected loss methodology that is based on PG and LGD models. The PD and LGD models are based on borrower and facility risk ratings assigned to each loan and are updated throughout the year as a borrower's financial condition changes. PD and LGD models are derived using the Company's portfolio specific historic data and are refreshed annually. Residential and consumer portfolio loss estimates are based on roll rate models that utilize the Company's historic delinquency and default data. For each segmentation the loss estimates incorporate a LEP model which represents an amount of time between when a loss event first occurs to when it is charged-off. An LEP is determined for each loan type based on the Company's historical experience and is reassessed at least annually.
The Company also considers qualitative factors, consistent with interagency regulatory guidance, that are not explicitly factored in the quantitative models but that can have an incremental or regressive impact on losses incurred in the current loan and lease portfolio.

At September 30, 2017 the ALLL was $201.8 million compared to $194.3 million at December 31, 2016. The increase of $7.5 million in the reserve at September 30, 2017 compared to December 31, 2016 is primarily due to growth in both commercial banking and community banking portfolios and increased reserves for certain impaired loans. The ALLL reserve remains adequate to cover inherent losses in the loan and lease portfolios. ALLL as a percentage of loans and leases, also known as the reserve coverage, increased to 1.16% at September 30, 2017 from 1.14% at December 31, 2016, reflecting an updated assessment of inherent losses and impaired reserves. ALLL as a percentage of non-performing loans and leases decreased to 123.32% at September 30, 2017 from 144.98% at December 31, 2016.

Methodology
The Company's ACL on loans and leases is considered to be a critical accounting policy. The ACL on loans and leases is a contra-asset account that offsets the amortized cost basis of loans and leases for the credit losses that are expected to occur over the life of the asset. Executive management reviews and advises on the adequacy of the allowance, which is maintained at a level that management deems to be sufficient to cover expected losses within the loan and lease portfolios.
The ACL on loans and leases is determined using the CECL model, whereby an expected lifetime credit loss is recognized at the origination or purchase of an asset, including those acquired through a business combination, which is then reassessed at each reporting date over the contractual life of the asset. The calculation of expected credit losses includes consideration of past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Generally, expected credit losses are determined through a pooled, collective assessment of loans and leases with similar risk characteristics. However, if the risk characteristics of a loan or lease change such that it no longer matches that of the collectively assessed pool, it is removed from the population and individually assessed for credit losses. The total ACL on loans and leases recorded by management represents the aggregated estimated credit loss determined through both the collective and individual assessments.
Collectively Assessed Loans and Leases. Collectively assessed loans and leases are segmented based on product type, credit quality, risk ratings, and/or collateral types within its commercial and consumer portfolios, and expected losses are determined using a PD, LGD, and EAD, loss rate, or discounted cash flow framework.
For portfolios using the PD/LGD/EAD framework, credit losses are calculated as the product of the probability of a loan defaulting, expected loss given the occurrence of a default, and the expected exposure of a loan at default. Summing the product across loans over their lives yields the lifetime expected credit losses for a given portfolio. Management's PD and LGD calculations are predictive models that measure the current risk profile of the loan pools using forecasts of future macroeconomic conditions, historical loss information, loan-level risk attributes, and credit quality indicators. The calculation of EAD follows an iterative process to determine the expected remaining principal balance of a loan based on historical paydown rates for loans of a similar segment within the same portfolio. The calculation of portfolio exposure in future quarters incorporates expected losses, the loan's amortization schedule, and prepayment rates.
Under the loss rate method, expected credit losses are estimated using a loss rate that is multiplied by the amortized cost of the asset at the balance sheet date. For each loan segment identified above, management applies an expected historical loss trend based on third-party loss estimates, and correlates them to observed economic metrics and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. Under the discounted cash flow method, expected credit losses are determined by comparing the amortized cost of the asset at the balance sheet date to the present value of estimated future principal and interest payments expected to be collected over the remaining life of the asset. The Company's loss model generates cash flow projections at the loan level based on reasonable and supportable projections, from which management estimates payment collections adjusted for accelerated payments, recovery time, PD, and LGD.
The Company's models incorporate a single economic forecast scenario and macroeconomic assumptions over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. The development of the reasonable and supportable forecast assumes each macroeconomic variable will revert to long-term expectations, with reversion characteristics unique to specific economic indicators and forecasts. Reversion towards long-term expectations generally begins two to three years from the forecast start date and is complete within three to five years. Certain models use output reversion and revert to mean historical portfolio loss rates on a
straight-line basis in the third year of the forecast. Other models use input reversion and revert to the mean of macroeconomic variables in reasonable and supportable forecasts.
The Company incorporates forecasts of macroeconomic variables in the determination of expected credit losses. Macroeconomic variables are selected for each class of financing receivable based on relevant factors, such as asset type and the correlation of the variables to credit losses, among others. Data from the forecast scenario of these variables is used as an input to the modeled loss calculation.
A portion of the collective ACL is comprised of qualitative adjustments for risk characteristics that are not reflected or captured in the quantitative models, but are likely to impact the measurement of estimated credit losses. Qualitative factors are based on management's judgement of the Company, market, industry, or business specific data including loan trends, portfolio segment composition, and loan rating or credit scores. Qualitative adjustments may be applied in relation to economic forecasts when relevant facts and circumstances are expected to impact credit losses, particularly in times of significant volatility in economic activity.
23


Individually Assessed Loans and Leases. If the risk characteristics of a loan or lease change such that it no longer matches the risk characteristics of the collectively assessed pool, it is removed from the population and individually assessed for credit losses. Generally, all non-accrual loans, loans with a charge-off, and collateral dependent loans where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, are individually assessed. The measurement method used to calculate the expected credit loss on an individually assessed loan or lease is dependent on the type and whether the loan or lease is considered to be collateral dependent. Methods for collateral dependent loans are either based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated cost to sell (when the basis of repayment is the sale of collateral), or the present value of the expected cash flows from the operation of the collateral. For non-collateral dependent loans, either a discounted cash flow method or other loss factor method is used. Any individually assessed loan or lease for which no specific valuation allowance is deemed necessary is either the result of sufficient cash flows or sufficient collateral coverage relative to the amortized cost of the asset.
Additional information regarding the Company's ACL methodology can be found within Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Consolidated Financial Protection Bureau rulesStatements contained in Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Asset Quality Ratios
The Company manages asset quality using risk tolerance levels established through the Company's underwriting standards, servicing, and management of its loan and lease portfolio. Loans and leases for which a heightened risk of loss has been identified are regularly monitored to mitigate further deterioration and preserve asset quality in future periods. Non-performing assets, credit losses, and net charge-offs are considered by management to be key measures of asset quality.

Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans and leases were 0.16% and 0.09% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and 0.18% and 0.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The increased level of net charge-offs is primarily due to the impact of the current macroeconomic environment on credit performance and a loss on sale of commercial real estate loans, which were charged-off in the second quarter of 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company manages its cash flow requirements through proactive liquidity measures at both the Holding Company and the Bank. In order to maintain stable, cost-effective funding, and to promote overall balance sheet strength, the liquidity position of the Company is continuously monitored, and adjustments are made to balance sources and uses of funds, as appropriate.
At June 30, 2023, management is not aware of any events that went intoare reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on January 10, 2014.the Company’s liquidity position, capital resources, or operating activities. Although regulatory agencies have not issued formal guidance mandating more stringent liquidity and capital requirements, the Company is anticipating a greater focus on the liquidity and capital adequacy of financial institutions in response to the high-profile bank failures that occurred during the first and second quarters of 2023, and has taken appropriate measures to mitigate the risk that such requirements, if implemented, may have on its business, financial positions, and results of operations.

Cash inflows are provided through a variety of sources, including principal and interest payments on loans and investments, unpledged securities that can be sold or utilized to secure funding, and new deposits. The Company is committed to maintaining a strong base of core deposits, which consists of demand, interest-bearing checking, savings, health savings, and money market accounts, to support growth in its loan portfolios. Management actively monitors the interest rate environment and makes adjustments to its deposit strategy in response to evolving market conditions, bank funding needs, and client relationship dynamics.
Sources of Funds and Liquidity
25


Sources of FundsHolding Company Liquidity. .The primary source of liquidity at the Holding Company is dividends from the Bank. To a lesser extent, investment income, net proceeds from investment sales, borrowings, and public offerings may provide additional liquidity. The Holding Company generally uses its funds for principal and interest payments on senior notes, subordinated notes, and junior subordinated debt, dividend payments to preferred and common stockholders, repurchases of its common stock, and purchases of investment securities, as applicable.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Bank paid $100.0 million and $250.0 million in dividends to the Holding Company, respectively. At June 30, 2023, there was $708.8 million of retained earnings available for the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Holding Company. On July 19, 2023, the Bank was approved to pay the Holding Company $250.0 million in dividends for the third quarter of 2023.
There are certain restrictions on the Bank's payment of dividends to the Holding Company, which can be found within
Note 10: Regulatory Capital and Restrictions in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I - Item 1. Financial Statements of this report, and in the section captioned "Supervision and Regulation" in Part I - Item 1. Business of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The quarterly cash dividend to common stockholders remained at $0.40 per common share during the three months ended
June 30, 2023. On July 19, 2023, it was announced that the Holding Company’s Board of Directors had declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share on
Webster common stock. For the Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock, quarterly cash dividends of $328.125 per share and $16.25 per share were declared, respectively. The Company continues to monitor economic forecasts, anticipated earnings, and its capital position in the determination of its dividend payments.
The Holding Company maintains a common stock repurchase program, which was approved by the Board of Directors, that authorizes management to purchase shares of its common stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through block trades, and pursuant to any adopted predetermined trading plan, subject to certain conditions. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Holding Company repurchased 1,465,673 shares under the program at a weighted-average price of $39.57 per share, totaling $58.0 million. The Holding Company's remaining purchase authority at June 30, 2023, was $343.3 million. In addition, the Company will periodically acquire common shares outside of the repurchase program related to employee stock compensation plan activity. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 8,750 shares at a weighted-average price of $34.79 per share, totaling $0.3 million for this purpose.
The IRA imposes a 1% excise tax on the value of net stock repurchased by certain publicly traded corporations, including the Company, after December 31, 2022. At June 30, 2023, the Company had recorded a $0.3 million liability for such excise tax owed, with an offset to Treasury stock on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Webster Bank Liquidity. The Bank's primary source of funding is core deposits. Including time deposits, the Bank had a loan to total deposit ratio of 87.9% and 92.1% at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Bank is required by OCC regulations to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity to ensure safe and sound operations. The adequacy of liquidity, as assessed by the OCC, depends on factors such as overall asset and liability structure, market conditions, competition, and the nature of the institution’s deposit and loan customers. At June 30, 2023, the Bank exceeded all regulatory liquidity requirements. The Company has designed a detailed contingency plan in order to respond to any liquidity concerns in a prompt and comprehensive manner, including early detection of potential problems and corrective action to address liquidity stress scenarios.
Capital Requirements. The Holding Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory actions by regulators that could have a direct material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, both the Holding Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated pursuant to regulatory directives. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by the Basel III Capital Rules to ensure capital adequacy require financial institutions to maintain minimum ratios of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital, defined by the Basel III capital rules (CET1 capital), Tier 1 capital, Total capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average tangible assets (as defined in the regulations). At June 30, 2023, both the Holding Company and the Bank were classified as well-capitalized. Management believes that no events or changes have occurred subsequent to quarter-end that would change this designation.
26


In accordance with regulatory capital rules, the Company elected an option to delay the estimated impact of the adoption of CECL on its regulatory capital over a two-year deferral period, which ended on January 1, 2022, and subsequent three-year transition period ending on December 31, 2024. During the three-year transition period, capital ratios will phase out the aggregate amount of the regulatory capital benefit provided from the delayed CECL adoption in the initial two years. For 2022, 2023, and 2024, the Company is allowed 75%, 50%, and 25%, respectively, of the regulatory capital benefit as of
December 31, 2021, with full absorption occurring in 2025. At June 30, 2023, the regulatory capital benefit allowed from the delayed CECL adoption resulted in a 6, 6, and 4 basis point increase to the Holding Company's and the Bank's CET1 capital to total risk-weighted assets (CET1 risk-based capital), Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets (Tier 1 risk-based capital), and Tier 1 capital to average tangible assets (Tier 1 leverage capital), respectively, and a 1 basis point decrease to Total capital to total risk-weighted assets (Total risk-based capital). Both the Holding Company's and the Bank's regulatory ratios remain in excess of being well-capitalized, even without the regulatory capital benefit of the delayed CECL adoption impact.
Additional information regarding the required regulatory capital levels and ratios applicable to the Holding Company and the Bank can be found within Note 10: Regulatory Capital and Restrictions in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part I -Item 1. Financial Statements.

Sources and Uses of Funds
Sources of Funds. Deposits are the primary source of cash flows for the Bank’s cash flow for use in lending activities and meeting its general operational needs is deposits. Operating activities, such as loanneeds. Loan and mortgage-backed securities repayments, proceeds from loans and other investment securities held for sale, proceeds and maturities also provide cash flow.flows. While scheduled loan and investment securitysecurities repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, loanprepayments and investment security prepayments andother deposit inflows are influenced by economic conditions and prevailing interest rates, and local economic conditions and arethe timing of which is inherently uncertain. Additional sources of funds are provided by both short-term and long-term borrowings, and to a lesser extent, dividends received as part of the Bank's membership with the FHLB and FRB.
Deposits. The Bank offers a wide variety of checking and savings deposit products designed to meet the transactional and investment needs of both its consumer and business customers. The Bank’s deposit services include, but are not limited to, ATM and debit card use, direct deposit, ACH payments, mobile banking, internet-based banking, banking by mail, account transfers, and overdraft protection, among others. The Bank manages the flow of funds in its deposit accounts and interest rates consistent with FDIC regulations. The Bank’s Consumer and Digital Pricing Committee and its Commercial and Institutional Liability and Loan Pricing Committee both meet regularly to determine pricing and marketing initiatives.
With the acquisition of interLINK during the first quarter of 2023, the Bank received $4.3 billion of money market deposits at June 30, 2023, which added a unique source of core deposit funding and scalable liquidity to the Company's already differentiated, omnichannel deposit gathering capabilities.
Total deposits were $58.7 billion and $54.0 billion at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The $4.7 billion increase was primarily due to the interLINK money market deposits and organic deposit growth, partially offset by customers rebalancing their deposit concentrations as a result of the high-profile bank failures in the first and second quarters of 2023. Customer preferences also shifted from lower rate checking and savings products into higher rate certificates of deposit products, which are currently more attractive in the higher interest rate environment.

Uninsured deposits represent the portion of deposit accounts in U.S. offices that exceed the FDIC insurance limit or similar state deposit insurance regime, and amounts in any other uninsured investment or deposit accounts that are classified as deposits and not subject to any federal or state deposit insurance regimes. The Company calculates its uninsured deposit balances based on the methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting requirements, which includes an estimated portion, and affiliate deposits. At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, total uninsured deposits as per regulatory reporting requirements and reported on Schedule RC-O of the Bank's Call Report were $21.0 billion and $22.5 billion, respectively.
The following table summarizes uninsured deposits information at June 30, 2023, after certain exclusions:

Uninsured deposits, after adjusting for affiliate deposits and collateralized deposits, represented 24.5% of total deposits at June 30, 2023. Management believes that this presentation provides a more accurate view of deposits at risk given that affiliate deposits are not customer facing, and therefore are eliminated upon consolidation, and collateralized deposits are secured by other means. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's uninsured deposits as a percentage of total deposits, adjusted for affiliate deposits and collateralized deposits, is consistent with the percentage reported at
June 30, 2023. In addition, the Company's immediately available liquidity continues to increase.

Borrowings. The Bank's primary borrowing sources include securities sold under agreements to repurchase, federal funds purchased, FHLB advances, and long-term debt. Total borrowed funds were $5.6 billion and $7.7 billion at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively, and represented 7.6% and 10.8% of total assets, respectively. The $2.1 billion decrease is primarily due to a $1.2 billion decrease in FHLB advances and a $0.9 billion decrease in federal funds purchased.
The Bank had additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB of $11.6 billion and $4.3 billion at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Bank also had additional borrowing capacity from the FRB of $3.6 billion and $1.2 billion at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. Unpledged investment securities of $1.6 billion at
June 30, 2023, could have been used for collateral on borrowings
or other borrowings.to increase borrowing capacity by either $1.4 billion with the FHLB or $1.7 billion with the FRB.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally a form of short-term funding for the Bank in which it sells securities to counterparties with an agreement to buy them back in the future at a fixed price. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $243.6 million and $282.0 million at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The $38.4 million decrease is primarily due to fluctuations in customers' overnight account balances.
The Bank may also purchase term and overnight federal funds to meet its short-term liquidity needs. There were no federal funds purchased at June 30, 2023, whereas federal funds purchased totaled $0.9 billion at December 31, 2022. The additional liquidity generated from the interLINK deposit sweep program allowed for the paydown during the first quarter of 2023 of higher rate federal funds purchased.
29


FHLB advances are not only utilized as a source of funding, but also for interest rate risk management purposes. FHLB advances totaled $4.3 billion and $5.5 billion at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. The $1.2 billion decrease is primarily due to the maturity of the higher volume of advances borrowed in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by the impact of the Company's risk management approach to hold higher levels of on-balance sheet liquidity in the second quarter of 2023.
Long-term debt consists of senior fixed-rate notes maturing in 2024 and 2029, subordinated fixed-to-floating-rate notes maturing in 2029 and 2030, and floating-rate junior subordinated notes maturing in 2033. Long-term debt remained relatively flat on a comparative basis, totaling approximately $1.1 billion at both June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Uses of the dividend.
Deposits. Webster Bank offers a wide variety of deposit products for checking and savings (including: ATM and debit card use, direct deposit, ACH payments, combined statements, mobile banking services, internet-based banking, bank by mail, as well as overdraft protection via line of credit or transfer from another deposit account) designed to meet the transactional, savings, and investment needs for both consumer and business customers throughout 167 banking centers within its primary market area. Webster Bank manages the flow of funds in its deposit accounts and provides a variety of accounts and rates consistent with FDIC regulations. Webster Bank’s Retail Pricing Committee and its Commercial and Institutional Liability Pricing Committee meet regularly to determine pricing and marketing initiatives.
Total deposits were $20.9 billion at September 30, 2017 compared to $19.3 billion at December 31, 2016. The increase is predominately related to an increase in health savings accounts of $0.5 billion and an increase in money market accounts of $0.6 billion. See Note 7: Deposits in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report for additional information.
Borrowings. Utilized as a source of funding for liquidity and interest rate risk management purposes, borrowings primarily consist of FHLB advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, whereby securities are delivered to counterparties under an agreement to repurchase the securities at a fixed price in the future. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, FHLB advances totaled $1.5 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively. Webster Bank had additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB of approximately $2.7 billion at September 30, 2017 compared to approximately $1.2 billion at December 31, 2016. Webster Bank also had additional borrowing capacity at the FRB of approximately $0.5 billion at September 30, 2017 and $0.6 billion at December 31, 2016. In addition, unpledged investment securities of $4.3 billion at September 30, 2017 could have been used to increase borrowing capacity by approximately $3.8 billion at the FHLB or approximately $3.8 billion at the FRB, or alternatively used for collateral on other borrowings, such as repurchase agreements.
In addition, Webster Bank may utilize term and overnight Fed funds to meet short-term liquidity needs. The Company's long-term debt consists of senior fixed-rate notes maturing in 2024 and junior subordinated notes maturing in 2033. Total borrowed funds were $2.6 billion at September 30, 2017 compared to $4.0 billion at December 31, 2016. Borrowings represented 10.0% and 15.4% of total assets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The reduction in borrowings was primarily related to FHLB advances maturing within one year. For additional information, see Note 8: Borrowings in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report.

Liquidity. Webster meets its cash flow requirements at an efficient cost under various operating environments through proactive liquidity management at both the Holding Company and Webster Bank. Liquidity comes from a variety of cash flow sources such as operating activities, including principal and interest payments on loans and investments, or financing activities, including unpledged investment securities, which can be sold or utilized to secure funding, and new deposits. Webster is committed to maintaining a strong, increasing base of core deposits, consisting of demand, checking, savings, health savings, and money market accounts, to support growth in its loan and lease portfolio. Liquidity is reviewed and managed in order to maintain stable, cost effective funding to promote overall balance sheet strength. Net cash provided by operating activities was $300.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $187.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is significantly a result of derivative activity and, to a lesser extent, mortgage banking activities.
Holding Company Liquidity.Funds. The primary source of liquidity at the Holding Company is dividends from Webster Bank. Webster Bank paid $80 million in dividends to the Holding Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. To a lesser extent, investment income, net proceeds from investment sales, borrowings, and public offerings may provide additional liquidity. The main uses of liquidity are the payment of principal and interest to holders of senior notes and capital securities, the payment of dividends to preferred and common shareholders, repurchases of its common stock, and purchases of available-for-sale investment securities. There are certain restrictions on the payment of dividends by Webster Bank to the Holding Company, which is described in the section captioned "Supervision and Regulation" in Item 1 of Webster’s 2016 Form 10-K. At September 30, 2017, there was $328.8 million of retained earnings available for the payment of dividends by Webster Bank to the Holding Company.
The Company has a common stock repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors, with $3.9 million of remaining repurchase authority at September 30, 2017. In addition, Webster periodically acquires common shares outside of the repurchase program related to stock compensation plan activity. The Company records the purchase of shares of common stock at cost based on the settlement date for these transactions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a total of 389,952 shares of common stock were repurchased for approximately $20.9 million, of which 222,000 shares were purchased under the common stock repurchase program at a cost of approximately $11.6 million, and 167,952 shares were purchased, at market prices, related to stock compensation plan activity for a cost of approximately $9.3 million.
Webster Bank Liquidity. Webster Bank's primary source of funding is core deposits. The primary use of this funding is for loan portfolio growth. Including time deposits, Webster Bank had a loan to total deposit ratio of 83.7% and 88.2% at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Webster Bank is required by OCC regulations to maintain liquidity sufficient to ensure safe and sound operations. Whether liquidity is adequate, as assessed by the OCC, depends on such factors as the overall asset/liability structure, market conditions, competition, and the nature of the institution’s deposit and loan customers. Webster Bank exceeded all regulatory liquidity requirements as of September 30, 2017. The Company has a detailed liquidity contingency plan designed to respond to liquidity concerns in a prompt and comprehensive manner. The plan is designed to provide early detection of potential problems and details specific actions required to address liquidity stress scenarios.
Applicable OCC regulations require Webster Bank, as a commercial bank, to satisfy certain minimum leverage and risk-based capital requirements. As an OCC regulated commercial institution, it is also subject to a minimum tangible capital requirement. As of September 30, 2017, Webster Bank was in compliance with all applicable capital requirements and exceeded the FDIC requirements for a well-capitalized institution. See Note 10: Regulatory Matters in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report for a further discussion of regulatory requirements applicable to Webster Financial Corporation and Webster Bank.
The liquidity position of the Company is continuously monitored, and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources, or operations. In addition, management is not aware of any regulatory recommendations regarding liquidity, which, if implemented, would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Webster engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded in the financial statements or are recorded in amounts that differ from the notional amounts. Such transactions are utilizedenters into various contractual obligations in the normal course of business for general corporate purposesthat require future cash payments and that could impact its short-term and long-term liquidity and capital resource needs. The following table summarizes significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations at June 30, 2023. The actual timing and amounts of future cash payments may differ from the amounts presented. Based on the Company's current liquidity position, it is expected that our sources of funds will be sufficient to fulfill these obligations when they come due.

In addition, in the normal course of business, the Company offers financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs. Corporate purpose transactions are structured to manage credit, interest rate, and liquidity risks, or to optimize capital. Customer transactions are structured to manage their funding requirements or facilitate certain trade arrangements.needs of its customers. These transactions give riseinclude commitments to inextend credit, and commercial and standby letters of credit, which involve to a varying degrees,degree, elements of credit risk. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire unused or be only partially funded, the total commitment amount of $11.2 billion at June 30, 2023, does not necessarily reflect future cash payments.
The Company also enters into commitments to invest in venture capital and private equity funds, as well as LIHTC investments to assist the Bank in meeting its responsibilities under the CRA. The total unfunded commitment for these alternative investments was $490.7 million at June 30, 2023. However, the timing of capital calls cannot be reasonably estimated, and depending on the nature of the contract, the entirety of the capital committed by the Company may not be called.
Pension obligations are funded by the Company, as needed, to provide for participant benefit payments as it relates to the Company's frozen, non-contributory, qualified defined benefit pension plan. Decisions to contribute to the defined benefit pension plan are made based upon pension funding requirements under the Pension Protection Act, the maximum amount deductible under the Internal Revenue Code, the actual performance of plan assets, and trends in the regulatory environment. The Company does not currently anticipate that it will be required to contribute to the defined benefit pension plan in 2023. The Company's non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plans and other post-employment benefit plans are unfunded.
At June 30, 2023, the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects a liability for uncertain tax positions of $10.1 million and $2.3 million of accrued interest and penalties, respectively. The ultimate timing and amount of any related future cash settlements cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty.
On May 22, 2023, the FDIC published a proposed rule to charge certain banks a special assessment to recover losses incurred by protecting uninsured depositors of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank upon their failure in March 2023. The proposed rule would levy a special assessment to certain banks at an annual rate of 12.5 basis points based on their uninsured deposits balance as of December 31, 2022, payable in eight quarterly installments beginning in the first quarter of 2024. Based on the proposed rule, the Company estimates that its total special assessment charge would be approximately $44.0 million. The FDIC has the authority to make further changes to the proposed rule before finalization, including changes to the underlying data or calculation methodology used to determine the special assessment. However, since the final rule has not yet been published in the Federal Register, no legal obligation has been incurred, and liquidity risk. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, Webster did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions that would have a material effect on itstherefore, no accrual has been recognized.

Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk
An effective asset/liability management process must balance the risks and rewards from both shortshort-term and long-term interest rate risks inrisk when determining managementthe Company's strategy and action. To facilitate and manage this process, interest rate sensitivity is monitored on an ongoing basis by ALCO. Thethe Company's ALCO, whose primary goal of ALCO is to manage interest rate risk toand maximize net income and net economic value over time in changing interest rate environments subjectenvironments. The ALCO meets frequently to Board of Director approved risk limits. The Board of Directors sets the policy limits for earnings at risk for parallel ramps in interest rates over twelve months of plus and minus 100 and 200 basis points as well as twist shocks of plus and minus 50 and 100 basis points. Economic value, or equity at risk, limits are set for parallel shocks in interest rates of plus and minus 100 and 200 basis points. Basedmake decisions on the near historic lows in short-term interest rates,Company's investment and funding portfolios based on the decliningeconomic outlook, its interest rate scenarios of minus 100 basis points or moreexpectations, the risk position, and other factors.
Four main tools are used for both earnings atmanaging interest rate risk:
the size, duration, and credit risk and equity at risk were temporarily suspended per ALCO policy. Effective with September 30, 2017, these scenarios were re-instituted. The results of the re-instituted minus 100 basis point scenario is outsideinvestment portfolio;
the size and duration of the established wholesale funding portfolio;
interest rate risk limit due to contracts; and
the impactpricing and structure of deposit floors. Due to the low probability of occurrenceloans and the current level of rates, the Board of Directors has approved a temporary exception to policy. ALCO also regularly reviews earnings at risk scenarios for customized changes in rates, as well as longer-term scenarios of up to four years in the future.deposits.
Management measures interest rate risk using simulation analysis and asset/liability modeling software to calculate the Company's earnings at risk and equity at risk. These risk measures are quantified using simulation software from one of the leading firms in the field of asset/liability modeling. Key assumptions relate to the behavior of interest rates and spreads, prepayment speeds, and the run-off of deposits are included in the simulation analysis. From such simulations, interest rate risk is quantified, and appropriate strategies are formulated and implemented.
Earnings at risk is defined as the change in earnings (excluding provision for loan and lease losses and income tax expense) due to changes in interest rates. Interest rates are generally assumed to change up or down in a parallel fashion, and earningsthe net interest income results in each scenario are compared to a flat rate scenario as a base.base scenario. The flat rate base scenario holds the end of the period yield curve constant over the twelve montha twelve-month forecast horizon. Earnings simulation analysis incorporates assumptions about balance sheet changes such as assetAt June 30, 2023, and liability growth, loanDecember 31, 2022, the flat rate base scenario assumed a federal funds rate of 5.25% and deposit pricing,4.50%, respectively. The federal funds rate target range was 5.00-5.25% at June 30, 2023, and changes to the mix of assets and liabilities. It is a measure of short-term interest rate risk. Equity4.25-4.50% at risk is defined as the change in the net economic value of assets and liabilities due to changes inDecember 31, 2022. Since interest rates compared to a base net economic value. Equity at risk analyzes sensitivityrose sharply in 2022 and into the present valuefirst quarter of cash flows over2023, and have since remained elevated, management has incorporated the expected life of existing assets, liabilities,up and off-balance sheet contracts. It is a measure of the long-term interestdown 300 basis point rate risk to future earnings streams embedded in the current balance sheet.
Asset sensitivity is defined as earnings or net economic value increasing compared to a base scenario when interest rates rise and decreasing when interest rates fall. In other words, assets are more sensitive to changing interest rates than liabilities and, therefore, re-price faster. Likewise, liability sensitivity is defined as earnings or net economic value decreasing compared to a base scenario when interest rates rise and increasing when interest rates fall.
Key assumptions underlying the present value of cash flows include the behavior of interest rates and spreads, asset prepayment speeds, and attrition rates on deposits. Cash flow projections from the model are compared to market expectations for similar collateral types and adjusted based on experience with Webster Bank's own portfolio. The model's valuation results are compared to observable market prices for similar instruments whenever possible. The behavior of deposit and loan customers is studied using historical time series analysis to model future customer behavior under varying interest rate environments.
The equity at risk simulation process uses multiple interest rate paths generated by an arbitrage-free trinomial lattice term structure model. The Base Case rate scenario, against which all others are compared, uses the month-end LIBOR/Swap yield curve as a starting point to derive forward rates for future months. Using interest rate swap option volatilities as inputs, the model creates multiple rate paths for this scenario with forward rates as the mean. In shock scenarios the starting yield curve is shocked up or down in a parallel fashion. Future rate paths are then constructed in a similar manner to the Base Case.
Cash flows for all instruments are generated using product specific prepayment models and account specific system data for properties such as maturity date, amortization type, coupon rate, repricing frequency, and repricing date. The asset/liability simulation software is enhanced with a mortgage prepayment model and a Collateralized Mortgage Obligation database. Instruments with explicit options such as caps, floors, puts and calls, and implicit options such as prepayment and early withdrawal ability require such a rate and cash flow modeling approach to more accurately quantify value and risk. On the asset side, risk is impacted the most by mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, which can typically prepay at any time without penalty and may have embedded caps and floors. In the loan portfolio, floors are a benefit to interest income in low rate environments. Floating-rate loans at floors pay a higher interest rate than a loan at a fully indexed rate without a floor, as with a floor there is a limit on how low the interest rate can fall. As market rates rise, however, the interest rate paid on these loans does not rise until the fully indexed rate rises through the contractual floor. On the liability side, there is a large concentration of customers with indeterminate maturity deposits who have options to add or withdraw funds from their accounts at any time. Implicit floors on deposits are modeled based upon historical data. Webster Bank also has the option to change the interest rate paid on these deposits at any time.

Webster's earnings at risk model incorporates net interest income, non-interest income and expense items, some of which vary with interest rates. These items include mortgage banking income, servicing rights, cash management fees, and derivative mark-to-market adjustments.
Four main tools are used for managing interest rate risk:
the size and duration of the investment portfolio,
the size and duration of the wholesale funding portfolio,
off-balance sheet interest rate contracts, and
the pricing and structure of loans and deposits.
ALCO meets at least monthly to make decisions on the investment and funding portfolios based on the economic outlook, the Committee's interest rate expectations, the risk position, and other factors. ALCO delegates pricing and product design responsibilities to individuals and sub-committees but monitors and influences their actions on a regular basis.
Various interest rate contracts, including futures and options, interest rate swaps, and interest rate caps and floors can be used to manage interest rate risk. These interest rate contracts involve, to varying degrees, credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur if a counterparty to a transaction fails to perform according to the terms of the contract. The notional amountback into its assessment of interest rate contracts is the amount upon which interest and other payments are based. The notional amount is not exchanged, and therefore, should not be taken as a measure of credit risk. See Note 12: Derivative Financial Instruments in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this report for additional information.
Certain derivative instruments, primarily forward sales of mortgage-backed securities, are utilized by Webster Bank in its efforts to manage risk of loss associated with its mortgage banking activities. Prior to closing and funds disbursement, an interest-rate lock commitment is generally extended to the borrower. During such time, Webster Bank is subject to risk that market rates of interest may change impacting pricing on loan sales. In an effort to mitigate this risk, forward delivery sales commitments are established, thereby setting the sales price.
The following table summarizes the estimated impact that gradual parallel changes in income of 100 and 200 basis points, over a twelve month period starting September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, might have on Webster’s NII for the subsequent twelve month period compared to NII assuming no change in interest rates:

Interest rates are assumed to change up or down in a parallel fashion, and NII and PPNR results in each scenario are compared to a flat rate scenario as a base. The flat rate scenario holds the end of period yield curve constant over a twelve month forecast horizon. The flat rate scenario as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 assumed a Fed Funds rate of 1.25% and 0.75% respectively. Asset sensitivity for both NII and PPNR on Septemberin terms of net interest income decreased at June 30, 2017 was higher2023, as compared to December 31, 2016,2022, primarily due to growth in deposits, mainly health savings accounts, a reduction in borrowings and loans moving further away from floors.
Webster can also hold futures, options, and forward foreign currency contracts to minimize the price volatility of certain assets and liabilities. Changeschanges in the market valueoverall balance sheet composition, which included the addition of $4.3 billion in price-sensitive deposits from interLINK, an increase in interest paid on deposits, and the implementation of incremental asset sensitivity measures, such as hedges and collars, during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Loans at floors were $0.4 billion at both December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2023. While loans with floors, which are considered “in the money”, have the impact of reducing overall asset sensitivity, as interest rates continue to rise, these positions are recognized in earnings.loans will move through their floors and reprice accordingly.

TheThese non-parallel scenarios are modeled with the short end of the yield curve moving up or down 50 and 100 basis points, while the long end of the yield curve remains unchanged, and vice versa. The short end of the yield curve is defined as terms of less than eighteen months and the long end of the yield curve is defined as terms of greater than eighteen months. TheseThe results above reflect the annualized impact of immediate interest rate changes.
Sensitivity to increases inboth the short end of the yield curve for NII and PPNR increased from December 31, 2016 due to higher forecasted health savings accounts balances, a reduction in borrowings and greater distance from loan floors. Sensitivity to decreases in the short end of the yield curve for NII and PPNR are much greater than sensitivity for increases due to the assumption of deposit floors. Sensitivity to both increases and decreases in the long end of the yield curve was essentially unchanged fromfor net interest income decreased at June 30, 2023, as compared to December 31, 20162022, primarily due to changes in both NII and PPNR.the overall balance sheet composition.

Changes in economic value can best be best described using duration. Durationthrough duration, which is a measure of the price sensitivity of financial instruments for smalldue to changes in interest rates. For fixed-rate financial instruments, it can also be thought of as the weighted-average expected time to receive future cash flows. Forflows, whereas for floating-rate financial instruments, it can be thought of as the
weighted-average expected time until the next rate reset. TheOverall, the longer the duration, the greater the price sensitivity for givendue to changes in interest rates. Generally, increases in interest rates reduce the economic value of fixed-rate financial assets as future discounted cash flows are worth less at higher interest rates. In a rising interest rate environment, the economic value of financial liabilities decreases for the same reason. A reduction in the economic value of financial liabilities is a benefit to the Company. Floating-rate financial instruments may have durations as short as one day, and therefore, may have very little price sensitivity due to changes in interest rates. Increases in interest rates typically reduce the value of fixed-rate assets as future discounted cash flows are worth less at higher discount rates. A liability's value decreases for the same reason in a rising rate environment. A reduction in value of a liability is a benefit to Webster.
Duration gap isrepresents the difference between the duration of financial assets and the duration offinancial liabilities. A duration gap at or near zero implieswould imply that the balance sheet is matched, and therefore, would exhibit no change in estimated economic value for a small changechanges in interest rates. Webster'sAt June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company's duration gap was negative 0.91.1 years at September 30, 2017. At December 31, 2016, the duration gap wasand negative 0.4 years.1.4 years, respectively. A negative duration gap implies that the duration of financial liabilities areis longer than the duration of financial assets, and therefore, theyliabilities have more price sensitivity than assets and will reset their interest rates at a slower than assets.pace. Consequently, Webster'sthe Company's net estimated economic value would generally be expected to increase when interest rates rise, as the benefit of the decreased value of financial liabilities would more than offset the decreased value of financial assets. The opposite would generally be expected to occur when interest rates fall. Earnings would also generally be expected to increase when interest rates rise, and decrease when interest rates fall over the longerlong term, absent the effects of any new business booked in the future. The change in Webster's duration gap is due primarily to the increase in health savings accounts and demand deposit balances as of September 30, 2017.
These earnings and net economic value estimates are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ, and also assume that management does not take any additional action to mitigate any positive or negative effects from changing interest rates. The earnings and economic values estimates are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ. Management believes that Webster'sthe Company's interest rate risk position at SeptemberJune 30, 20172023, represents a reasonable level of risk given the current interest rate outlook. Management as always,continues to monitor interest rates and other relevant factors given recent market volatility and is prepared to acttake additional action, as necessary.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices


Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and accompanying notes thereto, in accordance with GAAP and practices generally applicable to the financial services industry, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. While management's estimates are made based on historical experience, current available information, and other factors that are deemed to be relevant, actual results could significantly differ from those estimates.
Accounting estimates are necessary in the application of certain accounting policies and can be susceptible to significant change in the near term. Critical accounting estimates are those estimates made in accordance with GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Management has identified that the Company's most critical accounting estimates are those related datato the ACL on loans and leases and business combinations accounting policies. These accounting policies and their underlying estimates are discussed directly with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases
The ACL on loans and leases is a reserve established through a provision for credit losses charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimate of expected lifetime credit losses within the Company's loan and lease portfolios at the balance sheet date. The calculation of expected credit losses is determined using predictive methods and models that follow a
PD/LGD/EAD, loss rate, or discounted cash flow framework, and include consideration of past events, current conditions, macroeconomic variables (i.e., unemployment, gross domestic product, property values, and interest rate spreads), and reasonable and supportable economic forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amounts. Changes to the ACL on loans and leases, and therefore, to the related provision for credit losses, can materially affect financial results.
The determination of the appropriate level of ACL on loans and leases inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires the Company to make significant estimates of current credit risks and trends using existing qualitative and quantitative information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, all of which may undergo frequent and material changes. Changes in economic conditions affecting borrowers and macroeconomic variables that the Company is more susceptible to, unforeseen events such as natural disasters and pandemics, along with new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans, the fair value of underlying collateral, and other factors, both within and outside the Company's control, may indicate the need for an increase or decrease in the ACL on loans and leases.
It is difficult to estimate the sensitivity of how potential changes in any one economic factor or input might affect the overall reserve because a wide variety of factors and inputs are considered in estimating the ACL and changes in those factors and inputs considered may not occur at the same rate and may not be consistent across all product types. Further, changes in factors and inputs may also be directionally inconsistent, such that improvement in one factor may offset deterioration in others.
Executive management reviews and advises on the adequacy of the ACL on loans and leases on a quarterly basis. Although the overall balance is determined based on specific portfolio segments and individually assessed assets, the entire balance is available to absorb credit losses for any of the loan and lease portfolios.
Additional information regarding the determination of the ACL on loans and leases, including the Company's valuation methodology, can be found under the section captioned "Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases" contained elsewhere in this Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and within Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in
Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Business Combinations
The acquisition method of accounting generally requires that the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. The determination of fair value often involves the use of internal or third-party valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow analyses or appraisals. Particularly, the valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of loans and leases and the core deposit intangible asset acquired in the Sterling merger include estimates related to discount rates, credit risk, and other relevant factors, which are inherently subjective. A description of the valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair values of the significant assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Sterling merger can be found within Note 2: Mergers and Acquisitions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations

Webster Bank, along with its HSA Bank division, is a leading commercial bank in the Northeast that delivers a wide range of digital and traditional financial solutions to businesses, individuals, families, and partners across its three differentiated lines of business: Commercial Banking, HSA Bank, and Consumer Banking.

Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been omitted or condensed. Therefore, the condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the future results that may be attained for the entire year or other interim periods.
In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments have been reflected to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the reporting periods presented. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Assets under administration or assets under management that the Company holds or manages in a fiduciary or agency capacity for customers are not included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting Standards Adopted in the Current Period
ASU No. 2022-02—Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, which eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs, an entity must apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance in paragraphs 310-20-35-9 through 35-11 to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. In addition, the Update requires that an entity disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost in the vintage disclosures required by paragraph 326-20-50-6.
Modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty include principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, payment delays, term extensions, or combinations thereof. Expected losses or recoveries on loans where modifications have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty have been factored into the ACL on loans and leases. Upon adoption of ASU 2022-02, the Company is no longer required to use a discounted cash flow (or reconcilable) method to measure the ACL resulting from a modification with a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. Accordingly, the Company now applies the same credit loss methodology it uses for similar loans that were not modified.
The Company adopted the Update on January 1, 2023. The Company elected the option to apply the modified retrospective transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, which resulted in a $5.9 million increase to the Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases and a $1.7 million decrease to Deferred Tax Assets, net, with a corresponding $4.2 million cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the adoption date. The enhanced disclosure requirements provided for by the Update were adopted on a prospective basis. Reporting periods prior to the adoption of the Update are accounted for and presented in accordance with the applicable GAAP.
Refer to Note 4: Loans and Leases for additional information regarding modifications granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

ASU No. 2022-01—Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01—Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method, which expands the current last-of-layer method of hedge accounting that permits only one hedged layer to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio. To reflect that expansion, the last-of-layer method is renamed the portfolio layer method. Additionally, the amendments in this Update: (i) expand the scope of the portfolio layer method to include non-prepayable assets; (ii) specify eligible hedging instruments in a single-layer hedge; (iii) provide additional guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of hedge basis adjustments; and (iv) specify how hedge basis adjustments should be considered when determining credit losses for the assets included in the closed portfolio. An entity may also reclassify debt securities classified in the held-to-maturity category at the date of adoption to the available-for-sale category only if the entity applies portfolio layer method hedging to one or more closed portfolios that include those debt securities within a 30-day period.
The Company adopted the Update on January 1, 2023 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The entity did not reclassify any debt securities from the held-to-maturity category to the available-for-sale category as permitted upon adoption.
ASU No. 2021-08—Business Combinations (Topic 805)—Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08—Business Combinations (Topic 805)—Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts.
The Company adopted the Update on January 1, 2023 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Relevant Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
ASU No. 2023-02—Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force)
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-02—Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force), which permits reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. A reporting entity may make an accounting policy election to apply the proportional amortization method in accordance with paragraph 323-740-25-4 on a tax-credit-program-by-tax-credit-program basis rather than electing to apply the proportional amortization method at the reporting entity level or to individual investments.
A reporting entity that applies the proportional amortization method to qualifying tax equity investments must account for the receipt of the investment tax credits using the flow-through method under Topic 740, Income Taxes, even if the entity applies the deferral method for other investment tax credit received. The amendments also remove certain guidance for Qualified Affordable Housing Project Investments, require the application of the delayed equity contribution guidance to all tax equity investments, and require specific disclosures that must be applied to all investments that generate income tax credits and other income tax benefits from a tax credit program for which the entity has elected to apply the proportional amortization method in accordance with Subtopic 323-740.
The Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments generally must be applied on either a modified retrospective or retrospective basis with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings reflecting the difference between the previous method used to account for the tax equity investment and the application of the proportional amortization method since the investment was entered into. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company's investments in tax credit structures are currently limited to LIHTC investments, which are already being accounted for using the proportional amortization method.

ASU No. 2023-01—Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-01—Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements, which requires that leasehold improvements associated with leases between entities under common control be: (i) amortized by the lessee over the useful live of the leasehold improvements to the common control group (regardless of the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset (the leased asset) through a lease; however, if the lessor obtained the right to control the use of the underlying asset through a lease with another entity not within the same common control group, the amortization period may not exceed the amortization period of the common control group; and (ii) accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity, if, and when, the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. Additionally, those leasehold improvements are subject to the impairment guidance in Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment.
The Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments either may be applied prospectively to all new and existing leasehold improvements recognized on or after the adoption date with any remaining unamortized balance of existing leasehold improvements amortized over their remaining useful life to the common control group determined at that date; or retrospectively to the beginning of the period in which the entity first applied Topic 842, with any leasehold improvements that otherwise would not have been amortized or impaired recognized through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented in accordance with Topic 842. The Company is in the early assessment stages of evaluating the amendments and the impact of adoption on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU No. 2022-03—Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03—Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security, and therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction, and requires the following disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions: (i) the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions reflected on the balance sheet; (ii) the nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s); and (iii) the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s).
The Update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. For all entities except investment companies, the amendments should be applied prospectively with any adjustments from the adoption of the amendments recognized in earnings and disclosed on the date of adoption. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. The Company does not currently consider contractual restrictions on the sale of an equity security in measuring fair value.

Note 2: Mergers and Acquisitions
interLINK Acquisition
On January 11, 2023, Webster acquired 100% ownership of interLINK from StoneCastle Partners LLC. interLINK is a technology-enabled deposit management platform that administers over $9 billion of deposits from FDIC-insured cash sweep programs between banks and broker/dealers and clearing firms. The acquisition provides the Company with access to a unique source of core deposit funding and scalable liquidity and adds another technology-enabled channel to its already differentiated, omnichannel deposit gathering capabilities.
The total purchase price of the acquisition was $174.6 million, which included cash paid of $158.6 million and $16.0 million of contingent consideration measured at fair value. The contingent consideration is payable in cash upon the achievement of discrete customer and deposit growth events within three years of the acquisition date. Additional information regarding the determination of fair value for contingent consideration liabilities can be found within Note 14: Fair Value Measurements.
The transaction has been accounted for as a business combination, and resulted in the addition of $31.4 million in net assets measured at fair value, which primarily comprised $36.0 million of broker dealer relationship intangible assets, $6.0 million of developed technology, a $4.0 million non-competition agreement intangible asset, and $15.9 million of royalty liabilities. The $143.2 million of goodwill recognized is deductible for tax purposes. The Company's valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the interLINK acquisition were considered final as of June 30, 2023.
Bend Financial, Inc. Acquisition
On February 18, 2022, Webster acquired 100% of the equity interests of Bend, a cloud-based platform solution provider for HSAs, in exchange for cash of $55.3 million. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination, and resulted in the addition of $19.6 million in net assets measured at fair value, which primarily comprised $15.9 million of internal use software and a $3.0 million customer relationship intangible asset. The Company's valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Bend acquisition were considered final as of March 31, 2023.
Merger with Sterling Bancorp
On January 31, 2022, Webster completed its merger with Sterling. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the merger effective date. The determination of fair value requires management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions, and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and are subject to change. Fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were subject to adjustment during the one-year measurement period following the closing of the merger if new information was obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the merger effective date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. Measurement period adjustments made during the first quarter of 2023 totaled a net $25.6 million, which pertained to other assets and other liabilities and their related deferred tax impact. The Company's valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the merger with Sterling were considered final as of March 31, 2023.

The $18.5 million increase in gross unrealized losses from December 31, 2022, to June 30, 2023, is primarily due to higher market rates. The Company assesses each available-for-sale security that is in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is a result from a credit loss or other factors. At both June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, no ACL was recorded on available-for-sale securities as each of the securities in the Company's portfolio are investment grade, current as to principal and interest, and their price changes are consistent with interest and credit spreads when adjusting for convexity, rating, and industry differences.
At June 30, 2023, based on current market conditions and the Company's current targeted balance sheet composition strategy, the Company intends to hold its available-for-sale securities with unrealized loss positions through the anticipated recovery period, and it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not have to sell these available-for-sale securities before the recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. The issuers of these available-for-sale securities have not, to the Company’s knowledge, established any cause for default. Market prices are expected to approach par as the securities approach maturity.
Contractual Maturities

Total available-for-sale securities$8,642,304 $7,759,341 
Available-for-sale securities that are not due at a single maturity date have been categorized based on the maturity date of the underlying collateral. Actual principal cash flows may differ from this categorization as borrowers have the right to repay their obligations with or without prepayment penalties.
Sales of Available-for Sale Securities
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold U.S. Treasury notes, Corporate debt securities, and Municipal bonds and notes classified as available-for-sale for proceeds of $2.9 million and $398.3 million, respectively, which resulted in gross realized losses of $48 thousand and $20.5 million, respectively. Because $3.8 million of the total loss recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was attributed to a decline in credit quality, those portions of the charges have been included in the Provision for credit losses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. There were no sales of available-for-sale securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

An ACL on held-to-maturity securities is recorded for certain Municipal bonds and notes to account for expected lifetime credit losses. Agency securities represent obligations issued by a U.S. government-sponsored enterprise or other federally-related entity and are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed and therefore, assumed to be zero loss. Held-to-maturity securities with gross unrealized losses and no ACL are considered to be high credit quality, and therefore, zero credit loss has been recorded.

Held-to-maturity securities that are not due at a single maturity date have been categorized based on the maturity date of the underlying collateral. Actual principal cash flows may differ from this categorization as borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations with or without prepayment penalties.
Credit Quality Information
The Company monitors the credit quality of held-to-maturity securities through credit ratings provided by Standard & Poor's Rating Services, Moody's Investor Services, Fitch Ratings, Inc., Kroll Bond Rating Agency, or DBRS Inc. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security, and are updated at each quarter end. Investment grade securities are rated BBB- or higher by S&P, or Baa3 or higher by Moody's, and are generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be of low credit risk. Conversely, securities rated below investment grade, which are labeled as speculative grade by the rating agencies, are considered to have distinctively higher credit risk than investment grade securities. There were no speculative grade held-to-maturity securities at June 30, 2023, or December 31, 2022. Held-to-maturity securities that are not rated are collateralized with U.S. Treasury obligations.

Credit Quality Indicators
To measure credit risk for the commercial portfolio, the Company employs a dual grade credit risk grading system for estimating the PD and LGD. The credit risk grade system assigns a rating to each borrower and to the facility, which together form a Composite Credit Risk Profile. The credit risk grade system categorizes borrowers by common financial characteristics that measure the credit strength of borrowers and facilities by common structural characteristics. The Composite Credit Risk Profile has ten grades, with each grade corresponding to a progressively greater risk of loss. Grades (1) to (6) are considered pass ratings, and grades (7) to (10) are considered criticized, as defined by the regulatory agencies. A (7) "Special Mention" rating has a potential weakness that, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset. A (8) "Substandard" rating has a well-defined weakness that jeopardizes the full repayment of the debt. A (9) "Doubtful" rating has all of the same weaknesses as a substandard asset with the added characteristic that the weakness makes collection or liquidation in full given current facts, conditions, and values improbable. Assets classified as a (10) "Loss" rating are considered uncollectible and are charged-off. Risk ratings, which are assigned to differentiate risk within the portfolio, are reviewed on an ongoing basis and revised to reflect changes in a borrower's current financial position and operating results inoutlook, risk profile, and the related collateral and structural position. Loan officers review updated financial information or other loan factors on at least an annual basis for all pass rated loans to assess the accuracy of the risk grade. Criticized loans undergo more frequent reviews and enhanced monitoring.
To measure credit risk for the consumer portfolio, the most relevant credit characteristic is the FICO score, which is a widely used credit scoring system that ranges from 300 to 850. A lower FICO score is indicative of higher credit risk and a higher FICO score is indicative of lower credit risk. FICO scores are updated on at least a quarterly basis.

Collateral Dependent Loans and Leases
A loan or lease is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is substantially expected to be provided through the operation or sale of collateral. At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of collateral dependent commercial loans and leases totaled $31.9 million and $43.8 million, respectively, and the carrying amount of collateral dependent consumer loans totaled $39.2 million and $45.2 million, respectively. Commercial non-mortgage, asset-based, and equipment financing loans and leases are generally secured by machinery and equipment, inventory, receivables, or other non-real estate assets, whereas commercial real estate, multi-family, residential, home equity, and other consumer loans are secured by real estate. The ACL for collateral dependent loans and leases is individually assessed based on the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell. At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the collateral value associated with collateral dependent loans and leases totaled $91.8 million and $108.0 million, respectively.
Modifications for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, which eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs and enhances the disclosure requirements for certain loan modifications when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. For a description of the Company's accounting policies related to the accounting and reporting of TDRs, for which comparative period information is presented, refer to Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
In certain circumstances, the Company enters into agreements to modify the terms of historical dollars without consideringloans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. A variety of solutions are offered to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, including loan modifications that may result in principal forgiveness, interest rate reductions, payment delays, term extension, or a combination thereof. The following is a description of each of these types of modifications:
Principal forgiveness – The outstanding principal balance of a loan may be reduced by a specified amount. Principal forgiveness may occur voluntarily as part of a negotiated agreement with a borrower, or involuntarily through a bankruptcy proceeding.
Interest rate reductions – Includes modifications where the contractual interest rate of the loan has been reduced.
Payment delays – Deferral arrangements which allow borrowers to delay a scheduled loan payment to a later date. Deferred loan payments do not affect the original contractual terms of the loan. Modifications that result in only an insignificant payment delay are not disclosed. The Company considers that a three month or less payment delay generally would be considered insignificant.
Term extensions – Extensions of the original contractual maturity date of the loan.
Combination – Combination includes loans that have undergone more than one of the above loan modification types.
Significant judgment is required to determine if a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. These considerations vary by portfolio class. The Company has identified modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that are included in its disclosures as follows:
Commercial: The Company evaluates modifications of loans to commercial borrowers that are rated substandard or worse, and includes the modifications in its disclosures to the extent that the modification is considered
other-than-insignificant.
Consumer: The Company evaluates modifications of loans to consumer borrowers subject to its loss mitigation program and includes them in its disclosures to the extent that the modification is considered other-than-insignificant.

Note 10: Regulatory Capital and Restrictions
Capital Requirements
The Holding Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory actions by regulators that could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and/or the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (such provisions apply to the Bank only), both the Holding Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated pursuant to regulatory directives. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by the Basel III Capital Rules to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum ratios of CET1 capital to total risk-weighted assets (CET1 risk-based capital), Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets (Tier 1 risk-based capital), Total capital to total risk-weighted assets (Total risk-based capital), and Tier 1 capital to average tangible assets (Tier 1 leverage capital), as defined in the regulations. CET1 capital consists of common stockholders’ equity less deductions for goodwill and other intangible assets, and certain deferred tax adjustments. Upon adoption of the Basel III Capital Rules, the Company elected to opt-out of the requirement to include certain components of AOCI in CET1 capital. Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 capital plus preferred stock. Total capital consists of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital, as defined in the regulations. Tier 2 capital includes permissible portions of subordinated debt and the ACL.
At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, both the Holding Company and the Bank were classified as well-capitalized. Management believes that no events or changes have occurred subsequent to year-end that would change this designation.
The following tables provides information on the capital ratios for the Holding Company and the Bank:

(1)In accordance with regulatory capital rules, the Company elected an option to delay the estimated impact of the adoption of CECL on its regulatory capital over a two-year deferral period, which ended on January 1, 2022, and a subsequent three-year transition period ending on December 31, 2024. During the three-year transition period, regulatory capital ratios will phase out the aggregate amount of the regulatory capital benefit provided from the delayed CECL adoption in the initial two years. For 2022, 2023, and 2024, the Company is allowed 75%, 50%, and 25%, respectively, of the regulatory capital benefit as of December 31, 2021, with full absorption occurring in 2025.

Dividend Restrictions
The Holding Company is dependent upon dividends from the Bank to provide funds for the payment of dividends to stockholders and for other cash requirements. Dividends paid by the Bank are subject to various federal and state regulatory limitations. Express approval by the OCC is required if the effect of dividends declared would cause the regulatory capital of the Bank to fall below specified minimum levels or if the amount would exceed net income for that year combined with undistributed net income for the preceding two years. The Bank paid the Holding Company $100.0 million and $250.0 million in dividends during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $125.0 million in dividends during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, for which no express approval from the OCC was required.
Cash Restrictions
The Bank is required under Federal Reserve regulations to maintain cash reserve balances in the form of vault cash or deposits held at a FRB to ensure that it is able to meet customer demands. The reserve requirement ratio is subject to adjustment as economic conditions warrant. Effective March 26, 2020, the Federal Reserve reset the requirement to zero in order to address liquidity concerns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Pursuant to this action, the Bank has not been required to hold cash reserve balances since that date.
Note 11: Variable Interest Entities
The Company has an investment interest in the following entities that each meet the definition of a variable interest entity. Information regarding the Company's consolidation of variable interest entities can be found within Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II - Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Consolidated
Rabbi Trusts. The Company established a Rabbi Trust to meet its obligations due under the Webster Bank Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers and to mitigate expense volatility. The funding of the Rabbi Trust and the discontinuation of the Webster Bank Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors and Officers occurred during 2012. In connection with the Sterling merger in 2022, the Company acquired assets held in a separate Rabbi Trust that had been previously established to fund obligations due under the Greater New York Savings Bank Directors' Retirement Plan.
Investments held in the Rabbi Trusts consist primarily of mutual funds that invest in equity and fixed income securities. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of these Rabbi Trusts as it has the power to direct the activities of the Rabbi Trusts that most significantly impact its economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses and/or the right to receive benefits of the Rabbi Trusts that could potentially be significant.
The Rabbi Trusts' assets are included in Accrued interest receivable and other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Investment earnings and any changes in fair value are included in Other income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Additional information regarding the Rabbi Trusts' investments can be found within Note 14: Fair Value Measurements.
Non-Consolidated
Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Investments. The Company makes non-marketable equity investments in entities that sponsor affordable housing and other community development projects that qualify for the LIHTC Program pursuant to Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. The purpose of these investments is not only to assist the Bank in meeting its responsibilities under the CRA, but also to provide a return, primarily through the realization of tax benefits. While the Company's investment in an entity may exceed 50% of its outstanding equity interests, the entity is not consolidated as the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary due to its inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance and the Company does not have the obligation to absorb losses and/or the right to receive benefits. The Company applies the proportional amortization method to subsequently measure its investments in qualified affordable housing projects.
The following table summarizes the Company's LIHTC investments and related unfunded commitments:
(In thousands)June 30, 2023December 31, 2022
Gross investment in LIHTC investments$868,459 $797,453 
Accumulated amortization(105,719)(69,424)
Net investment in LIHTC investments$762,740 $728,029 
Unfunded commitments for LIHTC investments$366,869 $335,959 
68


The aggregate carrying value of the Company's LIHTC investments is included in Accrued interest receivable and other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and represents the Company's maximum exposure to loss. The related unfunded commitments are included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were $68.2 million and $76.7 million of net commitments approved to fund LIHTC investments during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Webster Statutory Trust. The Company owns all the outstanding common stock of Webster Statutory Trust, a financial vehicle that has issued, and in the future may issue, trust preferred securities. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of Webster Statutory Trust. Webster Statutory Trust's only assets are junior subordinated debentures that are issued by the Company, which were acquired using the proceeds from the issuance of trust preferred securities and common stock. The junior subordinated debentures are included in Long-term debt on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the related interest expense is included in Long-term debt on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Additional information regarding these junior subordinated debentures can be found within Note 8: Borrowings.
Other Non-Marketable Investments. The Company invests in alternative investments comprising interests in non-public entities that cannot be redeemed since the underlying equity is distributed as the investment is liquidated. The ultimate timing and amount of these distributions cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty. For each of these alternative investments that is classified as a variable interest entity, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary due to its inability to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance. The aggregate carrying value of the Company's other non-marketable investments was $170.1 million and $144.9 million at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively, which is included in Accrued interest receivable and other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and its maximum exposure to loss, including unfunded commitments, was $293.9 million and $243.9 million, respectively. Additional information regarding the fair value of other non-marketable investments can be found within

Basic earnings per common share$1.32 $1.00 $2.57 $0.97 
Diluted earnings per common share1.32 1.00 2.57 0.97 
Earnings per common share is calculated under the two-class method in which all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. The Company may grant restricted stock, restricted stock units, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, or stock appreciation rights to certain employees and directors under its stock-based compensation programs, which entitle recipients to receive
non-forfeitable dividends during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common stock. These unvested awards meet the definition of participating securities.
Potential common shares from performance-based restricted stock that were not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per common share because they were anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method were 263,674 and 174,840 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 379,308 and 298,617 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2022, respectively.

Note 13: Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Positions and Offsetting
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments. Interest rate swaps allow the Company to change the fixed or variable nature of an interest rate without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. Certain pay fixed/receive variable interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges to effectively convert variable-rate debt into fixed-rate debt, whereas certain receive fixed/pay variable interest rate swaps are designated as fair value hedges to effectively convert fixed-rate long-term debt into variable-rate debt. Certain purchased options are also designated as cash flow hedges. Purchased options allow the Company to limit the potential adverse impact of variable interest rates by establishing a cap rate or floor rate in exchange for an upfront premium. The purchased options designated as cash flow hedges represent interest rate caps where payment is received from the counterparty if interest rates rise above the cap rate, and interest rate floors where payment is received from the counterparty when interest rates fall below the floor rate.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments. The Company also enters into other derivative transactions to manage economic risks, but does not designate the instruments in hedge relationships. In addition, the Company enters into derivative contracts to accommodate customer needs. Derivative contracts with customers are offset with dealer counterparty transactions structured with matching terms to ensure minimal impact on earnings.

Derivative Exposure. At June 30, 2023, the Company had $4.6 million in initial margin collateral posted at clearing houses. In addition, $315.2 million of cash collateral received is included in Cash and due from banks on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company regularly evaluates the credit risk of its derivative customers, taking into account the likelihood of default, net exposures, and remaining contractual life, among other related factors. Credit risk exposure is mitigated as transactions with customers are generally secured by the same collateral of the underlying transactions. Current net credit exposure relating to derivatives with the Bank's customers was $5.8 million at June 30, 2023. In addition, the Company monitors potential future exposure, representing its best estimate of exposure to remaining contractual maturity. The potential future exposure relating to derivatives with the Bank's customers totaled $101.8 million at June 30, 2023. The Company has incorporated a valuation adjustment to reflect non-performance risk in the fair value measurement of its derivatives, which totaled $6.6 million and $8.4 million at June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. Various factors impact changes in the valuation adjustment over time, such as changes in the credit spreads of the contracted parties, and changes in market rates and volatilities, which affect the total expected exposure of the derivative instruments.
Note 14: Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The determination of fair value may require the use of estimates when quoted market prices are not available. Fair value estimates made at a specific point in time are based on management’s judgments regarding future expected losses, current economic conditions, the risk characteristics of each financial instrument, and other subjective factors that cannot be determined with precision.
The framework for measuring fair value provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, rate volatility, prepayment speeds, and credit ratings), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data, correlation, or other means.
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. This includes certain pricing models or other similar techniques that require significant management judgment or estimation.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Available-for-Sale Securities. When unadjusted quoted prices are available in an active market, the Company classifies its available-for-sale investment securities within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. U.S. Treasury notes have a readily determinable fair value, and accordingly, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
When quoted market prices are not available, the Company employs an independent pricing service that utilizes matrix pricing to calculate fair value. These fair value measurements consider observable data, such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information, and the respective terms and conditions for debt instruments. Management maintains procedures to monitor the pricing service's results and has a process in place to challenge their valuations and methodologies that appear unusual or unexpected. Government agency debentures, Municipal bonds and notes, Agency CMO, Agency MBS, Agency CMBS, CMBS, CLO, Corporate debt, Private label MBS, and Other available-for-sale securities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Instruments. The fair values presented for derivative instruments include any accrued interest. Foreign exchange contracts are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets, and accordingly, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Except for mortgage banking derivatives, all other derivative instruments are valued using third-party valuation software, which considers the present value of cash flows discounted using observable forward rate assumptions. The resulting fair value is then validated against valuations performed by independent third parties. These derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
72


Mortgage Banking Derivatives. The Company uses forward sales of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities to manage the risk of loss associated with its mortgage loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Prior to closing and funding certain single-family residential mortgage loans, an interest rate lock commitment is generally extended to the borrower. During this in-between time period, the Company is subject to the risk that market interest rates may change. If rates rise, investors generally will pay less to purchase mortgage loans, which would result in a reduction in the gain on sale of the loans, or possibly a loss. In an effort to mitigate this risk, forward delivery sales commitments are established in which the Company agrees to either deliver whole mortgage loans to various investors or issue mortgage-backed securities. The fair value of mortgage banking derivatives is determined based on current market prices for similar assets in the secondary market. Accordingly, mortgage banking derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Originated Loans Held For Sale.The Company has elected to measure originated loans held for sale at fair value under the fair value option per ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments. Electing to measure originated loans held for sale at fair value reduces certain timing differences and better reflects the price the Company would expect to receive from the sale of these loans. The fair value of originated loans held for sale is based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions. Accordingly, originated loans held for sale are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table compares the fair value to the unpaid principal balance of originated loans held for sale:
At June 30, 2023At December 31, 2022

Originated loans held for sale$1,800 $1,322 $478 $1,991 $1,631 $360 
Rabbi Trust Investments.Investments held in each of the Company's Rabbi Trusts consist primarily of mutual funds that invest in equity and fixed income securities. Shares of these mutual funds are valued based on the NAV as reported by the trustee of the funds, which represents quoted prices in active markets. The Company has elected to measure the Rabbi Trusts' investments at fair value. Accordingly, the Rabbi Trusts' investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the total cost basis of the investments held in the Rabbi Trusts was $10.2 million and $10.0 million, respectively.
Alternative Investments. Equity investments have a readily determinable fair value when unadjusted quoted prices are available in an active market for identical assets. Accordingly, these alternative investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, equity investments with a readily determinable fair value had a total carrying amount of $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, with no remaining unfunded commitment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were total write-ups in fair value of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, associated with these alternative investments.
Equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value may qualify for the NAV practical expedient if they meet certain requirements. The Company's alternative investments measured at NAV consist of investments in non-public entities that cannot be redeemed since investments are distributed as the underlying equity is liquidated. Alternative investments measured at NAV are not classified within the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, these alternative investments had a total carrying amount of $28.5 million and $89.2 million, respectively, and a remaining unfunded commitment of $27.0 million and $82.7 million, respectively.
Contingent Consideration. The Company recorded $16.0 million of contingent consideration at fair value related to two earn-out agreements associated with the acquisition of interLINK on January 11, 2023. The terms of the purchase agreement specified that the seller would receive earn-outs based on the ability of the Company to: (i) re-sign the existing broker dealers under contract, and (ii) generate $2.5 billion in new broker dealer deposit programs within three years of the acquisition date. The estimated fair values of the contingent consideration liabilities are measured on a recurring basis and determined using an income approach considering management’s evaluation of the probability of achievement, forecasted achievement date (payment term), and a discount rate equivalent to the counterparty cost of debt. These significant inputs, which are the responsibility of management and were initially calculated with the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist, are not observable and accordingly, are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table summarizes the unobservable inputs used to derive the estimated fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration liabilities at June 30, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
Alternative Investments. The measurement alternative has been elected for alternative investments without readily determinable fair values that do not qualify for the NAV practical expedient. The measurement alternative requires investments to be measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Accordingly, these alternative investments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of these alternative investments was $48.4 million and $42.8 million, respectively, of which $1.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively, were considered to be measured at fair value. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were $0.3 million in total write-ups due to inflation.observable price changes, and zero write-downs due to impairment.
Unlike most industrialLoans Transferred to Held for Sale. Once a decision has been made to sell loans not previously classified as held for sale, these loans are transferred into the held for sale category and carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. At the time of transfer into held for sale classification, any amount by which cost exceeds fair value is accounted for as a valuation allowance. This activity generally pertains to loans with observable inputs, and therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, should these loans include adjustments for changes in loan characteristics based on unobservable inputs, the loans would then be classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, there were $9.2 million and zero loans that were transferred to held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Collateral Dependent Loans and Leases. Loans and leases for which repayment is substantially expected to be provided through the operation or sale of collateral are considered collateral dependent, and are valued based on the estimated fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell at the reporting date, using customized discounting criteria. Accordingly, collateral dependent loans and leases are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Other Real Estate Owned and Repossessed Assets. OREO and repossessed assets are held at the lower of cost or fair value and are considered to be measured at fair value when recorded below cost. The fair value of OREO is calculated using independent appraisals or internal valuation methods, less estimated selling costs, and may consider available pricing guides, auction results, and price opinions. Certain repossessed assets may also require assumptions about factors that are not observable in an active market when determining fair value. Accordingly, OREO and repossessed assets are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the total book value of OREO and repossessed assets was $3.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively. In addition, the amortized cost of consumer loans secured by residential real estate property that were in process of foreclosure at June 30, 2023, was $21.5 million.
Estimated Fair Values of Financial Instruments and Mortgage Servicing Assets
The Company is required to disclose the estimated fair values of certain financial instruments and mortgage servicing rights. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to estimate fair value for those assets and liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents.Given the short time frame to maturity, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, which comprises cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits, approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Held-to-Maturity Securities. When quoted market prices are not available, the Company employs an independent pricing service that utilizes matrix pricing to calculate fair value. These fair value measurements consider observable data, such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the respective terms and conditions for debt instruments. Management maintains procedures to monitor the pricing service's results and has a process in place to challenge their valuations and methodologies that appear unusual or unexpected. Held-to-maturity securities, which include Agency CMO, Agency MBS, Agency CMBS, Municipal bonds and notes, and CMBS, are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Loans and Leases, net. Except for collateral dependent loans and leases, the fair value of loans and leases held for investment is estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology, based on future prepayments and market interest rates inclusive of an illiquidity premium for comparable loans and leases. The associated cash flows are then adjusted for associated credit risks and other potential losses, as appropriate. Loans and leases are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
75


Mortgage Servicing Rights. Mortgage servicing rights are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured using the amortization method. The Company assesses mortgage servicing rights for impairment each quarter and establishes or adjusts the valuation allowance to the extent that amortized cost exceeds the estimated fair market value. Fair value is calculated as the present value of estimated future net servicing income and relies on market based assumptions for loan prepayment speeds, servicing costs, discount rates, and other economic factors. Accordingly, the primary risk inherent in valuing mortgage servicing rights is the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the related servicing revenue stream. Mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Deposit Liabilities. The fair value of deposit liabilities, which comprises demand deposits, interest-bearing checking, savings, health savings, and money market accounts, reflects the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Deposit liabilities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Time Deposits. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using rates that are currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. Time deposits are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Other Borrowings. The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings that mature within 90 days approximates their carrying value. The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings that mature after 90 days is estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology based on current market rates and adjusted for associated credit risks, as appropriate. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other borrowings are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Long-Term Debt. The fair value of FHLB advances and long-term debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology in which discount rates are matched with the time period of the expected cash flows and adjusted for associated credit risks, as appropriate. FHLB advances and long-term debt are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 16: Segment Reporting
The Company's operations are organized into three reportable segments that represent its primary businesses: Commercial Banking, HSA Bank, and Consumer Banking. These segments reflect how executive management responsibilities are assigned, how discrete financial information is evaluated, the type of customer served, and how products and services are provided. Certain Treasury activities, including the operations of interLINK, along with the amounts required to reconcile profitability metrics to those reported in accordance with GAAP, are included in the Corporate and Reconciling category.
In connection with the acquisition of interLINK on January 11, 2023, the $143.2 million of goodwill recorded was allocated entirely to Commercial Banking. In addition, as previously discussed in Note 2: Mergers and Acquisitions and
Note 6: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the allocation of the purchase price for both the Sterling merger and Bend acquisition was final as of March 31, 2023. As a result, of the total $1.9 billion in goodwill recorded in connection with the Sterling merger, $1.7 billion and $0.2 billion was allocated to Commercial Banking and Consumer Banking, respectively. The $35.7 million of goodwill recorded in connection with the Bend acquisition was allocated entirely to HSA Bank.
Segment Reporting Methodology
The Company uses an internal profitability reporting system to generate information by reportable segment, which is based on a series of management estimates for funds transfer pricing, and allocations for non-interest expense, provision for credit losses, income taxes, and equity capital. These estimates and allocations, certain of which are subjective in nature, are periodically reviewed and refined. Changes in estimates and allocations that affect the results of any reportable segment do not affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company as a whole. The full profitability measurement reports, which are prepared for each reportable segment, reflect non-GAAP reporting methodologies. The differences between full profitability and GAAP results are reconciled in the Corporate and Reconciling category.
The Company allocates interest income and interest expense to each business through an internal matched maturity FTP process. The goal of the FTP allocation is to encourage loan and deposit growth consistent with the Company’s overall profitability objectives. The FTP process considers the specific interest rate risk and liquidity risk of financial instruments and other assets and liabilities in each line of business. Loans are assigned an FTP rate for funds used and deposits are assigned an FTP rate for funds provided. The allocation considers the origination date and the earlier of the maturity date or the repricing date of a financial instrument to assign an FTP rate for loans and deposits originated each day. The FTP process transfers the corporate interest rate risk exposure to the Treasury function included within the Corporate and Reconciling category where such exposures are centrally managed.
77


The Company allocates a majority of non-interest expense to each reportable segment using an activity and driver-based costing process. Costs, including shared services and back-office support areas, are analyzed, pooled by process, and assigned to the appropriate reportable segment. The combination of direct revenue, direct expenses, funds transfer pricing, and allocations of non-interest expense produces PPNR, which is the basis the segments are reviewed by executive management. The Company also allocates the provision for credit losses to each reportable segment based on management's estimate of the expected loss content in each of the specific loan and lease portfolios. The ACL on loans and leases is included in total assets within the Corporate and Reconciling category. Business development expenses, such as merger-related and strategic initiatives costs, are also generally included in the Corporate and Reconciling category.

(1)A portion of loan and lease related fees comprises income generated from factored receivables and payroll financing activities that is within the scope of ASC Topic 606.
(2)Effective as of the fourth quarter of 2022, the wealth and investment services revenue stream was impacted by the restructuring of a process in which the Company offers brokerage, investment advisory, and certain insurance-related services to customers. The staff providing these services, who had previously been employees of the Bank, are now employees of a third-party service provider. As a result, the Company now recognizes income from this program on a net basis, which thereby reduces gross reported wealth and investment services non-interest income and the related compensation and benefits non-interest expense on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Contracts with customers did not generate significant contract assets and liabilities at June 30, 2023, or December 31, 2022.
Major Revenue Streams
Deposit service fees consist of fees earned from commercial and consumer customer deposit accounts, such as account maintenance and cash management/analysis fees, as well as other transactional service charges (i.e., insufficient funds, wire transfers, stop payment fees, etc.). Performance obligations for account maintenance services and cash management/analysis fees are satisfied on a monthly basis at a fixed transaction price, whereas performance obligations for other deposit service charges that result from various customer-initiated transactions are satisfied at a point-in-time when the service is rendered. Payment for deposit service fees is generally received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to the customers' accounts. Certain commercial customer contracts include credit clauses, whereby the Company will grant credit upon the customer meeting pre-determined conditions, which can be used to offset fees. On occasion, the Company may also waive certain fees. Fee waivers are recognized as a reduction to revenue in the period the waiver is granted to the customer.
The deposit service fees revenue stream also includes interchange fees earned from debit and credit card transactions. The transaction price for interchange services is based on the transaction value and the interchange rate set by the card network. Performance obligations for interchange fees are satisfied at a point-in-time when the cardholder's transaction is authorized and settled. Payment for interchange fees is generally received immediately or in the following month.
Factored receivables non-interest income consists of fees earned from accounts receivable management services. The Company factors accounts receivable, with and without recourse, for customers whereby the Company purchases their accounts receivable at a discount and assumes the risk, as applicable, and ownership of the assets through direct cash receipt from the end consumer. Factoring services are performed in exchange for a non-refundable fee at a transaction price based on a percentage of the gross invoice amount of each receivable purchased, subject to a minimum required amount. The performance obligation for factoring services is generally satisfied at a point-in-time when the receivable is assigned to the Company. However, should the commission earned not meet or exceed the minimum required annual amount, the difference between that and the actual amount is recognized at the end of the contract term. Other fees associated with factoring receivables may include wire transfer and technology fees, field examination fees, and Uniform Commercial Code fees, where the performance obligations are satisfied at a point-in-time when the services are rendered. Payment from the customer for factoring services is generally received immediately or within the following month.
Payroll finance non-interest income consists of fees earned from performing payroll financing and business process outsourcing services, including full back-office technology and tax accounting services, along with payroll preparation, making payroll tax payments, invoice billings, and collections for independently-owned temporary staffing companies substantiallynationwide. Performance obligations for payroll finance and business processing activities are either satisfied upon completion of the support services or as payroll remittances are made on behalf of customers to fund their employee payroll, which generally occurs on a weekly basis. The agreed-upon transaction price is based on a fixed-percentage per the terms of the contract, which could be subject to a hold-back reserve to provide for any balances that are assessed to be at risk of collection. When the Company collects on amounts due from end consumers on behalf of its customers and at the time of financing payroll, the Company retains the agreed-upon transaction price payable for the performance of its services and remits an amount to the customer net of any advances and payroll tax withholdings, as applicable.
Wealth and investment services consist of fees earned from asset management, trust administration, and investment advisory services, and through facilitating securities transactions. Performance obligations for asset management and trust administration services are satisfied on a monthly or quarterly basis at a transaction price based on a percentage of the period-end market value of the assets under administration. Payment for asset management and trust administration services is generally received a few days after period-end through a direct charge to the customers' accounts. Performance obligations for investment advisory services are satisfied over the period in which the services are provided through a time-based measurement of progress, and the agreed-upon transaction price with the customer varies depending on the nature of the services performed. Performance obligations for facilitating securities transactions are satisfied at a point-in-time when the securities are sold at a transaction price that is based on a percentage of the contract value. Payment for both investment advisory services and facilitating securities transactions may be received in advance of the service, but generally is received immediately or in the following period, in arrears.
Note 18: Commitments and Contingencies
Credit-Related Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company offers financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk.
81


The following table summarizes the outstanding amounts of credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk:
(In thousands)At June 30,

Commercial letters of credit54,196 53,512 
Total credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk$11,186,942 $11,671,663 
The Company enters into contractual commitments to extend credit to its customers (i.e., revolving credit arrangements, term loan commitments, and short-term borrowing agreements), generally with fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and that require payment of a fee. Substantially all of the assetsCompany's commitments to extend credit are contingent upon its customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan funding, and liabilitiesare often secured by real estate collateral. Since the majority of the Company's commitments typically expire without being funded, the total contractual amount does not necessarily represent the Company's future payment requirements.
Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee its customers' performance to a banking institutionthird party. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of its agreement with a third-party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The contractual amount of each standby letter of credit represents the maximum amount of potential future payments the Company could be required to make. Historically, the majority of the Company's standby letters of credit expire without being funded. However, if the commitment were funded, the Company has recourse against the customer. The Company's standby letter of credit agreements are monetary in nature.often secured by cash or other collateral.
Commercial letters of credit are issued to finance either domestic or foreign customer trade arrangements. As a result, interest ratesgeneral rule, drafts are committed to be drawn when the goods underlying the transaction are in transit. Similar to standby letters of credit, the Company's commercial letter of credit agreements are often secured by the underlying goods subject to trade.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Loan Commitments
An ACL is recorded under the CECL methodology and included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to provide for the unused portion of commitments to lend that are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. At June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the ACL on unfunded loan commitments totaled $22.4 million and $27.7 million, respectively.
Litigation
The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and unasserted claims and assessments in the ordinary course of business. Legal contingencies are evaluated based on information currently available, including advice of counsel and assessment of available insurance coverage. The Company establishes an accrual for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Once established, each accrual is adjusted to reflect any subsequent developments. Legal contingencies are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings may occur that could cause the Company to either adjust its litigation accrual or incur actual losses that exceed the current estimate, which ultimately could have a more significant impact on Webster's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same directionmaterial adverse effect, either individually or in the same magnitudeaggregate, on its business, financial condition, or operating results. The Company will consider settlement of cases when it is in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders. The Company intends to defend itself in all claims asserted against it, and management currently believes that the outcome of these contingencies will not be material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the Company or its consolidated financial position.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Special Assessment
On May 22, 2023, the FDIC published a proposed rule to charge certain banks a special assessment to recover losses incurred by protecting uninsured depositors of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank upon their failure in March 2023. The proposed rule would levy a special assessment to certain banks at an annual rate of 12.5 basis points based on their uninsured deposits balance as of December 31, 2022, payable in eight quarterly installments beginning in the pricefirst quarter of goods2024. Based on the proposed rule, the Company estimates that its total special assessment charge would be approximately $44.0 million.
The FDIC has the authority to make further changes to the proposed rule before finalization, including changes to the underlying data and services.calculation methodology used to determine the special assessment. The comment period on the proposed rule expired on July 21, 2023, and no final rule has been published in the Federal Register as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, no legal obligation has been incurred, and therefore, no accrual has been recognized.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
AsEvaluation of September 30, 2017, the Company carried out an evaluation,Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer (who is our principal executive officer) and its Chief Financial Officer of(who is our principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company'sour disclosure controls and procedures, (asas defined in Rulesin Rule 13a-15(e) orand 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of June 30, 2023. The term "disclosure controls and procedures" means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on thisthat evaluation, managementour Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures andwere not effective due to the un-remediated material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of September 30, 2017 as a result of an identified material weakness, as describedrelated to certain general information technology controls specific to logical access, which was previously disclosed in the Company's 2016Annual Report on Form 10-K resulting fromfor the aggregationyear ended December 31, 2022. Prior to the filing of control deficienciesthis Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Form 10-Q"), we completed substantive procedures for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. Based on these procedures, management believes that our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in management’s review of the allowance for loan loss model including certain process level controls preventing unapproved changesthis Form 10-Q have been prepared in modeling assumptions as well as the precision of management’s review over the valuation of allowance for loan and lease losses balance. This material weakness did not result in any misstatementaccordance with GAAP. For additional information, please refer to Part II - Item 9A. of the Company's consolidated financial statementsAnnual Report on Form 10-K for anythe year ended December 31, 2022.
Remediation
Management is in process of implementing measures designed to ensure that the control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include: (i) designing and implementing controls related to deprovisioning, privileged access, and user access reviews, (ii) developing an enhanced risk assessment process to evaluate logical access, and (iii) improving the existing training program associated with control design and implementation. We believe that these actions will remediate the material weaknesses. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated, however, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period presented. The Company'sof time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. We expect that the remediation of these material weaknesses will be completed prior to the end of 2023.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the ongoing remediation efforts related to this material weakness are ongoing.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the company implemented a new accounting system which streamlines trade input and valuation activities related to its investment securities and derivative portfolios. The change in how transactions are processed has further enhanced process controls and procedures. In addition, as further described below, the Company continued to enhance its control environment in connection with its allowance for loan and lease loss process. Excluding these changes,above, there were no changes in the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting that occurred(as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), during the period covered by this reportquarter ended June 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting.
Remediation Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial ReportingLimitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In response to the material weakness identified above, the Company has implemented changes toBecause of its inherent limitations, management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting includingwill prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to personnel responsible for the allowance for loan loss process, strengthening the designerror or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of the ALLL internal controls and enhancing communication protocols. The Company has engaged the use of a third party expert to test the operating effectiveness of the ALLL internal control environment. As of the date of this filing,fraud, if any, within the Company has not concluded that the material weakness hashave been fully remediated.detected.
