NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation ~~and Current Accounting Developments~~

East West Bancorp, Inc. (referred to herein on an unconsolidated basis as “East West” and on a consolidated basis as the “Company”) is a registered bank holding company that offers a full range of banking services to individuals and businesses through its subsidiary bank, East West Bank and its subsidiaries (“East West Bank” or the “Bank”) ~~and its subsidiaries.~~. The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“this Form 10-Q”) include the accounts of East West, East West Bank and East West’s subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, East West also has 6 wholly-owned subsidiaries that are statutory business trusts (the “Trusts”). In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ~~(“FASB”)~~ Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation, the Trusts are not included on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) ~~generally accepted accounting principles~~Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), applicable guidelines prescribed by regulatory authorities and general practices in the banking industry. While the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation, they primarily serve to update the most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K, and may not include all the information and notes necessary to constitute a complete set of financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February ~~26, 2021~~28, 2022 (the “Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K”). In addition, certain items on the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, income and expenses during the reporting period, and the related disclosures. Although our current estimates contemplate current conditions and how we expect them to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual results could be materially different from those estimates. Hence, the current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the year as a whole. Events subsequent to the Consolidated Balance Sheet date have been evaluated through the date the Consolidated Financial Statements are issued for inclusion in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

This ASU provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions regarding the accounting requirements related to the modification of certain contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that are affected by the reference rate reform. The guidance permits the Company to make a one-time election to sell and/or transfer qualifying held-to-maturity securities, and not to apply modification accounting or remeasure lease payments in lease contracts if the changes to the contract are related to the discontinuation of the reference rate. If certain criteria are met, the amendments also allow exceptions to the de-designation criteria of the hedging relationships and the assessment of hedge effectiveness during the transition period.

In addition, this ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes related to franchise taxes, the tax basis of goodwill and the method for recognizing an enacted change in tax laws. This ASU also specifies that an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements. This ASU also makes improvements in the accounting for income taxes related to employee stock ownership plans and equity method investments in qualified affordable housing projects. ~~This guidance should be applied on either a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis depending on the amendments.~~	The Company adopted this guidance in January 2021 using the transition guidance prescribed by this ASU. At the time of adoption, this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Significant Accounting Policies Update

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company transferred $3.01 billion in fair value of debt securities from AFS to HTM.

Transfer between Categories of Debt Securities— Upon transfer of a debt security from the AFS to HTM category, the security’s new amortized cost is reset to fair value, reduced by any previous write-offs but excluding any allowance for credit losses. Unrealized gains or losses at the date of transfer of these securities continue to be reported in AOCI and are amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the securities as effective yield adjustments, in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of the original purchase premium or discount on the associated security. For transfers of securities from the AFS to HTM category, any allowance for credit losses that was previously recorded under the AFS model is reversed and an allowance for credit losses is subsequently recorded under the HTM debt security model. The reversal and re-establishment of the allowance for credit losses are recorded in provision for credit losses.

Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities— Debt securities that the Company has the intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as HTM and are carried at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses. HTM debt securities are generally placed on nonaccrual status using factors similar to those described for loans. The amortized cost of the Company’s HTM debt securities excludes accrued interest, which is included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables on HTM debt securities, as the Company reverses any accrued interest against interest income if a debt security is placed on nonaccrual status. Any cash collected on nonaccrual HTM securities is applied to reduce the security’s amortized cost basis and not as interest income. Generally, the Company returns an HTM security to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current under the contractual terms of the security, and the collectability of remaining principal and interest is no longer doubtful.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities—For each major HTM debt security type, the allowance for credit losses is estimated collectively for groups of securities with similar risk characteristics. For securities that do not share similar risk characteristics, the losses are estimated individually. Debt securities that are either guaranteed or issued by the U.S. government or government-sponsored enterprises, are highly rated by major rating agencies, and have a long history of no credit losses are an example of such securities to which the Company applies a zero credit loss assumption. Any expected credit loss is provided through the allowance for credit losses on HTM debt securities and deducted from the amortized cost basis of the security, so that the balance sheet reflects the net amount the Company expects to collect.

Note 23 — Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Determination

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses various methods including market and income approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy described below is based on the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets and the lowest priority to prices derived from data lacking transparency. The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities is classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

•Level 1 — Valuation is based on quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

•Level 2 — Valuation is based on quoted prices for similar instruments traded in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable and can be corroborated by market data.

•Level 3 — Valuation is based on significant unobservable inputs for determining the fair value of assets or liabilities. These significant unobservable inputs reflect assumptions that market participants may use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether inputs to the valuation methodology used are observable or unobservable, and the significance of those inputs in the fair value measurement. The Company’s assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurements.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of these instruments ~~within~~pursuant to the fair value hierarchy.

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities — The fair value of AFS debt securities is generally determined by independent external pricing service providers who have experience in valuing these securities or by taking the average quoted market prices obtained from independent external brokers. The valuations provided by the third-party pricing service providers are based on observable market inputs, which include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, prepayment expectation and reference data obtained from market research publications. Inputs used by the third-party pricing service providers in valuing collateralized mortgage obligations and other securitization structures also include new issue data, monthly payment information, whole loan collateral performance, tranche evaluation and “To Be Announced” prices. In valuing securities issued by state and political subdivisions, inputs used by third-party pricing service providers also include material event notices.

On a monthly basis, the Company validates the valuations provided by third-party pricing service providers to ensure that the fair value determination is consistent with the applicable accounting guidance and the financial instruments are properly classified in the fair value hierarchy. To perform this validation, the Company ~~compares~~evaluates the fair values of securities by comparing the fair values provided by the third-party pricing service providers to prices from other available independent sources for the same securities. When significant variances in prices are identified, the Company further compares inputs used by different sources to ascertain the reliability of these sources. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews the documentation received from the third-party pricing service providers regarding the valuation inputs and methodology used for each category of securities.

When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of AFS debt securities that are classified as Level 1. Level 1 AFS debt securities consist of U.S. Treasury securities. When pricing is unavailable from third-party pricing service providers for certain securities, the Company requests market quotes from various independent external brokers and utilizes the average quoted market prices. In addition, the Company obtains market quotes from other official published sources. As these valuations are based on observable inputs in the current marketplace, they are classified as Level 2. The Company periodically communicates with the independent external brokers to validate their pricing methodology. Information such as pricing sources, pricing assumptions, data inputs and valuation techniques are reviewed periodically.

Equity Securities — Equity securities consisted of mutual funds as of both ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The Company invested in these mutual funds for Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) purposes. The Company uses net asset value (“NAV”) information to determine the fair value of these equity securities. When NAV is available periodically and the equity securities can be put back to the transfer agents at the publicly available NAV, the fair value of the equity securities is classified as Level 1. When NAV is available periodically but the equity securities may not be readily marketable at its periodic NAV in the secondary market, the fair value of these equity securities is classified as Level 2.

Interest Rate Contracts — The Company enters into interest rate swap and option contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments with its borrowers to lock in attractive intermediate and long-term interest rates, resulting in the customer obtaining a synthetic fixed-rate loan. To economically hedge against the interest rate risks in the products offered to its customers, the Company enters into mirrored offsetting interest rate contracts with third-party financial institutions. The Company also enters into interest rate swap contracts with institutional counterparties to hedge against certain variable interest rate ~~borrowings.~~borrowings and variable interest rate loans. These interest rate swap contracts with institutional counterparties were designated as cash flow hedges. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The fair value of the interest rate options, which consist of floors and caps, is determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates fall below (rise above) the strike rate of the floors (caps). In addition, to comply with the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own ~~nonperformance risk~~ and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements of its derivatives. The credit valuation adjustments associated with the Company’s derivatives utilize model-derived credit spreads, which are Level 3 inputs. Considering the observable nature of all other significant inputs utilized, the Company classifies these derivative instruments as Level 2.

Foreign Exchange Contracts — The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to accommodate the business needs of its customers. For a majority of the foreign exchange contracts ~~entered~~ with its customers, the Company entered into offsetting foreign exchange contracts with third-party financial institutions to manage its exposure. The Company also utilizes foreign exchange contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to mitigate the economic effect of fluctuations in certain foreign currency on-balance sheet assets and liabilities, primarily foreign currency denominated deposits that it offers to its customers. The fair value of foreign exchange contracts is determined at each reporting period based on changes in the foreign exchange rates. These are over-the-counter contracts where quoted market prices are not readily available. Valuation is measured using conventional valuation methodologies with observable market data. Due to the short-term nature of the majority of these contracts, the counterparties’ credit risks are considered nominal and result in no adjustments to the valuation of the foreign exchange contracts. Due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the fair value of these contracts, the valuation of foreign exchange contracts ~~are~~is classified as Level 2. As of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Bank held foreign currency non-deliverable forward contracts to hedge its net investment in its China subsidiary, East West Bank (China) Limited, a non-U.S. dollar (“USD”) functional currency subsidiary in China. These foreign currency non-deliverable forward contracts were designated as net investment hedges. The fair value of foreign currency non-deliverable forward contracts is determined by comparing the contracted foreign exchange rate to the current market foreign exchange rate. Key inputs of the current market exchange rate include spot rates and forward rates of the contractual currencies. Foreign exchange forward curves are used to determine which forward rate pertains to a specific maturity. Due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the estimated fair value, these instruments are classified as Level 2.

Credit Contracts — The Company may periodically enter into credit risk participation agreements (“RPAs”) to manage the credit exposure on interest rate contracts associated with the syndicated loans. The Company may enter into protection sold or protection purchased RPAs with institutional counterparties. The fair value of RPAs is calculated by determining the total expected asset or liability exposure of the derivatives to the borrowers and applying the borrowers’ credit spread to that exposure. Total expected exposure incorporates both the current and potential future exposure of the derivatives, derived from using observable inputs, such as yield curves and volatilities. ~~The~~Since the majority of the inputs used to value the RPAs are ~~observable; accordingly,~~observable, RPAs are classified as Level 2.

Equity Contracts — As part of the loan origination process, the Company periodically obtains warrants to purchase preferred and/or common stock of technology and life sciences companies to which it provides loans. As of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the warrants included on the Consolidated Financial Statements were from both public and private companies. The Company values these warrants based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For warrants from public companies, the model uses the underlying stock price, stated strike price, warrant expiration date, risk-free interest rate based on a duration-matched U.S. Treasury rate, and market-observable company-specific option volatility as inputs to value the warrants. Due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the estimated fair value, warrants from public companies are classified as Level 2. For warrants from private companies, the model uses inputs such as the offering price observed in the most recent round of funding, stated strike price, warrant expiration date, risk-free interest rate based on duration-matched U.S. Treasury rate and option volatility. The Company applies proxy volatilities based on the industry sectors of the private companies. The model values are then adjusted for a general lack of liquidity due to the private nature of the underlying companies. Since both option volatility and liquidity discount assumptions are subject to management’s judgment, measurement uncertainty is inherent in the valuation of private ~~companies’~~company warrants. Due to the unobservable nature of the option volatility and liquidity discount assumptions used in deriving the estimated fair value, warrants from private companies are classified as Level 3. On a quarterly basis, the changes in the fair value of warrants from private companies are reviewed for reasonableness, and a measurement of uncertainty analysis on the option volatility and liquidity discount assumptions is performed.

Commodity Contracts — The Company enters into energy commodity contracts in the form of swaps and options with its oil and gas loan customers to allow them to hedge against the risk of fluctuation in energy commodity prices. The fair value of the commodity option contracts is determined using the Black-Scholes model and assumptions that include expectations of future commodity price and volatility. The future commodity contract price is derived from observable inputs such as the market price of the commodity. Commodity swaps are structured as an exchange of fixed cash flows for floating cash flows. The fair value of the commodity swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments) based on the market prices of the commodity. The fixed cash flows are predetermined based on the known volumes and fixed price as specified in the swap agreement. The floating cash flows are correlated with the change of forward commodity prices, which is derived from market corroborated futures settlement prices. As a result, the Company classifies these derivative instruments as Level 2 due to the observable nature of the significant inputs utilized.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain individually evaluated loans held-for-investment, investments in qualified affordable housing partnerships, tax credit and other investments, OREO, loans held-for-sale, and other nonperforming assets. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments result from impairment on certain individually evaluated loans held-for-investment and investments in qualified affordable housing partnerships, tax credit and other investments, from write-downs of OREO and other nonperforming assets, or from the application of lower of cost or fair value on loans held-for-sale.

Individually Evaluated Loans Held-For-Investment — Individually evaluated loans held-for-investment are classified as Level 3 assets. The following two methods are used to derive the fair value of individually evaluated loans held-for-investment:

•Discounted cash flow valuation techniques that consist of developing an expected stream of cash flows over the life of the loans, and then calculating the present value of the loans by discounting the expected cash flows at a designated discount rate.

•When the repayment of an individually evaluated loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral, the fair value of the loan is determined based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which may take the form of real estate, inventory, equipment, contracts or guarantees. The fair value of the underlying collateral is generally based on third-party appraisals, or an internal valuation if a third-party appraisal is not required by regulations, or unavailable. An internal valuation utilizes one or more valuation techniques such as the income, market and/or cost approaches.

Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Partnerships, Tax Credit and Other Investments, Net — The Company conducts due diligence on its investments in qualified affordable housing partnerships, tax credit and other investments prior to the initial investment date and through the placed-in-service date. After these investments are either acquired or placed into service, the Company continues its periodic monitoring process to ensure book values are realizable and that there is no significant tax credit recapture risk. This monitoring process includes the quarterly review of the financial statements, the annual review of tax returns of the investment entity, the annual review of the financial statements of the guarantor (if any) and a comparison of the actual performance of the investment against the financial projections prepared at the time when the investment was made. The Company assesses its tax credit and other investments for possible other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on an annual basis or when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the investments may not be realizable. These circumstances can include, but are not limited to the following factors:

•expected future cash flows that are less than the carrying amount of the investment;

•changes in the economic, market or technological environment that could adversely affect the investee’s operations; and

•other factors that raise doubt about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as negative cash flows from operations and the continuing prospects of the underlying operations of the investment.

All available ~~evidence~~information is considered in assessing whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary. Generally, none of the aforementioned factors are individually conclusive and the relative importance placed on individual facts may vary depending on the situation. In accordance with ASC 323-10-35-32, an impairment charge would only be recognized in earnings for a decline in value that is determined to be other-than-temporary.

Other Real Estate Owned — The Company’s OREO represents properties acquired through foreclosure, or through full or partial satisfaction of loans held-for-investment. These OREO properties are recorded at estimated fair value less the costs to sell at the time of foreclosure and at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less the costs to sell subsequent to acquisition. On a monthly basis, the current fair market value of each OREO property is reviewed to ensure that the current carrying value is appropriate. OREO properties are classified as Level 3.

Other Nonperforming Assets — Other nonperforming assets are recorded at fair value upon transfers from loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based on independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimates of the foreclosed asset. The Company records an impairment when the foreclosed asset’s fair value declines below its carrying value. ~~Other~~The fair value measurement of other nonperforming assets ~~are~~is classified within one of the three levels in a valuation hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation as ~~Level 3.~~of the measurement date.

Note 34 — Assets Purchased under Resale Agreements and Sold under Repurchase Agreements

Assets Purchased under Resale Agreements

In resale agreements, the Company is exposed to credit risk for both the counterparties and the underlying collateral. The Company manages credit exposure from certain transactions by entering into master netting agreements and collateral arrangements with the counterparties. The relevant agreements allow for the efficient closeout of the transaction, liquidation and set-off of collateral against the net amount owed by the counterparty following a default. It is also the Company’s policy to take possession, where possible, of the assets underlying resale agreements. As a result of the Company’s credit risk mitigation practices with respect to resale agreements as described above, the Company did not hold any reserves for credit impairment with respect to these agreements as of both ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Securities Purchased under Resale Agreements — Total securities purchased under resale agreements were ~~$1.34 billion and $1.16~~$1.33 billion as of ~~September 30, 2021~~both March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020, respectively.~~2021. The weighted-average yields were ~~1.50%~~1.63% and ~~1.72%~~1.57% for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, respectively; and 1.53% and 2.09% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,~~ respectively.

Loans Purchased under Resale Agreements — ~~The Company participated in resale agreements collateralized with loans with multiple counterparties starting in the fourth quarter of 2020.~~ Total loans purchased under resale agreements were $~~1.26~~621.8 million and $1.02 billion ~~and $300.0 million~~ as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The weighted-average yields were ~~1.48%~~1.60% and ~~1.57%~~2.02% for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Assets Sold under Repurchase Agreements — As of ~~September 30, 2021 and December~~March 31, ~~2020,~~2022, securities sold under the repurchase agreements consisted of U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. government agency and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities. Gross repurchase agreements were $300.0 million as of both ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The weighted-average interest rates were ~~2.57%~~2.62% and ~~2.70%~~2.67% for the three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020, respectively, and 2.62% and 3.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020,~~ respectively. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, all repurchase agreements will mature in 2023.

Balance Sheet Offsetting

The Company’s resale and repurchase agreements are transacted under legally enforceable master ~~netting~~repurchase agreements that, in the event of default by the counterparty, provide the Company the right to liquidate securities held and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty. The Company nets resale and repurchase transactions with the same counterparty on the Consolidated Balance Sheet when it has a legally enforceable master netting agreement and the transactions are eligible for netting under ASC 210-20-45-11, Balance Sheet Offsetting Repurchase and Reverse Repurchase Agreements. Collateral received includes securities and loans that are not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Collateral pledged consists of securities that are not netted on the Consolidated Balance Sheet against the related collateralized liability. Securities received or pledged as collateral in resale and repurchase agreements with other financial institutions may also be sold or re-pledged by the secured party, and are usually delivered to and held by the third-party trustees.

The following tables present the resale and repurchase agreements included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:

These securities (issued by ~~Ginnie~~Fannie Mae, ~~Fannie~~Ginnie Mae and Freddie Mac) are guaranteed or sponsored by agencies of the U.S. government, and ~~the~~their credit profiles are strong (rated Aaa, AA+ and AAA by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), ~~Standard and Poor's~~S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), respectively). The Company expects to receive all contractual cash flows on time.

•Non-agency mortgage-backed securities —The market value decline as of March 31, 2022, was primarily due to interest rate movement and spread widening. Since these securities are rated AA or AAA by rating agencies (Moody’s, S&P, Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Fitch and Dominion Bond Rating Service Morningstar), or have high priority in the cash flow waterfall within the securitization structure, and the contractual payments have historically been on time, ~~and~~the Company believes the risk of credit losses on these securities is ~~remote.~~low.

•~~U.S. government agency and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise debt securities —The market value decline as of September 30, 2021 was primarily due to interest rate movement. The securities consisted of the debt securities issued by:~~

–~~Federal Farm Credit Bank, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (rated Aaa, AA+ and AAA by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively).~~

–~~FHLB (rated Aaa and AA+ by Moody’s and S&P, respectively).~~

These securities are guaranteed or issued by entities sponsored by the U.S. government and the credit profiles are strong. The Company expects to receive all contractual cash flows on time and believes the risk of credit losses on these securities is remote.

•Corporate debt securities — The market value decline as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022, was primarily due to interest rate movement and spread widening. Since credit profiles of these securities are strong (rated BBB- or higher by Moody’s, S&P, ~~Fitch, and~~ Kroll Bond Rating ~~Agency)~~Agency and Fitch), and the contractual payments from these ~~securities~~bonds have been and are expected to be received on time, the Company believes that the risk of credit losses on these securities is ~~remote.~~low.

The impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic has been greatly mitigated by the government’s aggressive monetary policy and economic stimulus plans, including benchmark rate cuts, and various relief measures that contributed to the gradual and steady recovery of the market to pre-pandemic levels. Overall, the Company believes that the credit support levels of the AFS debt securities are strong and, based on current assessments and macroeconomic forecasts, expects that full contractual cash flows will be received, even if near-term credit performance could suffer from future unpredictable impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including new and more contagious variants.

As of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had the intent to hold the AFS debt securities with unrealized losses through the anticipated recovery period and it was more-likely-than-not that the Company will not have to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost. The issuers of these securities have not, to the Company’s knowledge, established any cause for default on these securities. As a result, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. Accordingly, there was no allowance for credit losses as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 provided against these securities. In addition, there was no provision for credit losses recognized for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities

The Company separately evaluates its HTM debt securities for any credit losses, of which all qualify for the zero loss assumption as of March 31, 2022. For more information on the Company’s credit loss methodology, refer to Note 2 — Current Accounting Developments and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. The Company monitors the credit quality of the HTM debt securities using external credit ratings. As of March 31, 2022, all HTM securities were highly rated (rated Aaa, AA+ and AAA by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch) and issued, guaranteed, or supported by U.S. government entities and agencies. The Company believes the history of no credit losses, current conditions as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts, indicate that all contractual payments will be received. Accordingly, the Company applied a zero credit loss assumption and no allowance for credit losses was recorded as of March 31, 2022.

Overall, the Company believes that the credit support levels of the debt securities are strong and, based on current assessments and macroeconomic forecasts, expects that full contractual cash flows will be received.

Note 56 — Derivatives

The Company uses derivatives to manage exposure to market risk, primarily interest rate ~~and~~or foreign currency risk, as well as to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Company’s goal is to manage interest rate sensitivity and volatility so that movements in interest rates do not significantly affect earnings or capital. The Company also uses foreign exchange contracts to manage the foreign exchange rate risk associated with certain foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, as well as the Bank’s investment in East West Bank (China) Limited. The Company recognizes all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. While the Company designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in a qualifying hedge accounting relationship, other derivatives serve as economic hedges. For additional information on the Company’s derivatives and hedging activities, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Derivatives to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K.

The derivative assets and liabilities are presented on a gross basis prior to the application of bilateral collateral and master netting agreements, but after the variation margin payments with central clearing organizations have been applied as settlement, as applicable. Total derivative assets and liabilities are adjusted to take into consideration the effects of legally enforceable master netting agreements and cash collateral received or paid as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The resulting net derivative asset and liability fair values are included in Other assets and Accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

~~Fair Value Hedges —~~ The Company entered into interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to hedge changes in the fair value of certain certificates of deposit due to changes in the benchmark interest rate. The interest rate swaps involved the exchange of variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchanging the underlying notional amounts. During the fourth quarter of 2020, both the hedging interest rate swaps and hedged certificates of deposit were called.

As of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no fair value hedges or hedged certificates of deposit outstanding. There were no gains or losses recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Income related to the derivatives designated as fair value hedges for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. In comparison, the net gains recognized on interest rate swaps were $154 thousand and $3.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and a net gain of $112 thousand and a net loss of $1.6 million were recognized on certificates of deposit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, which were recorded in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Cash Flow Hedges — ~~The~~In 2020, the Company entered into $275.0 million in total notional amounts of interest rate swaps that were designated ~~and qualified~~ as cash flow hedges to limit the exposure to the variability in interest payments on certain floating rate borrowings. ~~For~~During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company entered into 2 new interest rate swaps in total notional amounts of $1.00 billion, which were designated as cash flow hedges to limit the ~~entire change~~exposure to the variability in interest receipts on certain variable rate CRE loans. Changes in the fair ~~value~~values of ~~the hedging instruments is~~cash flow hedges are recognized in AOCI and reclassified to earnings in the same period when the hedged cash flows impact earnings. Reclassified gains and losses on these interest rate swaps are recorded either in the same line item as the interest payments of the hedged long-term borrowings within Interest expense, or in the same line items as the interest receipts of the hedged variable rate CRE loan pool within Interest and dividend income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Considering the interest rates, yield curve and notional amounts as of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company expected to reclassify an estimated ~~$625 thousand~~$2.7 million of after-tax net losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges from AOCI into earnings during the next 12 months.

The following table presents the pre-tax changes in AOCI from cash flow hedges for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

Net Investment Hedges — ASC 830-20, Foreign Currency Matters — Foreign Currency Transactions and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, allow hedging of the foreign currency risk of a net investment in a foreign operation. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of the Bank’s investment in East West Bank (China) Limited, a non-USD functional currency subsidiary in China. The hedging instruments designated as net investment hedges involve hedging the risk of changes in the USD equivalent value of a designated monetary amount of the Bank’s net investment in East West Bank (China) Limited, against the risk of adverse changes in the foreign currency exchange rate of the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The Company may de-designate the net investment hedges when the Company expects the hedge will cease to be highly effective.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Interest Rate Contracts — The Company enters into interest rate contracts, which include interest rate swaps and options with its customers to allow the customers to hedge against the risk of rising interest rates on their variable rate loans.

Credit Contracts — The Company may periodically enter into credit RPAs with institutional counterparties to manage the credit exposure of the interest rate contracts associated with the syndicated loans. The Company may enter into protection sold or protection purchased RPAs. The purchaser of credit protection that enters into an interest rate contract with the borrower, may in turn enter into an RPA with a seller of protection, under which the seller of protection receives a fee to accept a portion of the credit risk. A seller of credit protection is required to make payments to the buyer if a borrower defaults on the related interest rate contract. Credit risk on RPAs is managed by monitoring the credit worthiness of thethe borrowers and institutional counterparties, which is part of the normal credit review and monitoring process. The majority of the reference entities of the protection sold RPAs were investment grade as of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Assuming the underlying ~~borrower~~borrowers referenced in the interest rate contracts defaulted as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the maximum exposure of protection sold RPAs would be ~~$4.5 million~~$887 thousand and ~~$6.0~~$3.2 million, respectively. As of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the weighted-average remaining maturities of the outstanding protection sold RPAs were ~~3.4~~2.8 years and ~~3.5~~3.2 years, respectively.

The notional amount of the RPAs reflects the Company’s pro-rata share of the derivative instrument. The following table presents the notional amounts and the gross fair values of RPAs sold ~~and purchased~~ outstanding as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:

Credit Quality Indicators

All loans are subject to the Company’s credit review and monitoring process. For the commercial loan portfolio, loans are risk rated based on an analysis of the borrower’s current payment performance or delinquency, repayment sources, financial and liquidity factors, including industry and geographic considerations. For ~~a majority of~~ the consumer loan portfolio, payment performance or delinquency is typically the driving indicator for ~~the~~ risk ratings.

The Company utilizes internal credit risk ratings to assign each individual loan a risk rating of ~~one~~1 through ~~ten. Loans~~10:

•Pass — loans risk rated ~~one~~1 through ~~five~~5 are assigned an internal risk rating category of “Pass.” Loans risk rated ~~one~~1 are typically loans fully secured by cash. Pass loans have sufficient sources of repayment to repay the loan in full, in accordance with all terms and conditions. ~~Loans~~

•Special mention — loans assigned a risk rating of ~~six~~6 have potential weaknesses that warrant closer attention by management; these are assigned an internal risk rating category of “Special Mention.” ~~Loans~~

•Substandard — loans assigned a risk rating of ~~seven~~7 or ~~eight~~8 have well-defined weaknesses that may jeopardize the full and timely repayment of the loan; these are assigned an internal risk rating category of “Substandard.” ~~Loans~~

•Doubtful — loans assigned a risk rating of ~~nine~~9 have insufficient sources of repayment and a high probability of loss; these are assigned an internal risk rating category of “Doubtful.” ~~Loans~~

•Loss — loans assigned a risk rating of ~~ten~~10 are uncollectible and of such little value that they are no longer considered bankable assets; these are assigned an internal risk rating category of “Loss.” ~~Exposures~~

Loan exposures categorized as criticized consist of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss categories. The Company reviews the internal risk ratings of its loan portfolio on a regular basis, and adjusts the ratings based on changes in the borrowers’ financial status and the collectability of the loans.

The following tables summarize the Company’s loans held-for-investment ~~as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, presented~~ by loan portfolio segments, internal risk ratings and vintage ~~year.~~year as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The vintage year is the year of origination, renewal or major modification.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

Loans that are 90 or more days past due are generally placed on nonaccrual status unless the loan is well-collateralized and in the process of collection. Loans that are less than 90 days past due but have identified deficiencies, such as when the full collection of principal or interest becomes uncertain, are also placed on nonaccrual status. ~~Payment deferral activities instituted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic could delay the recognition of delinquencies for customers who otherwise would have moved into nonaccrual status.~~ The following tables present the aging analysis of total loans held-for-investment as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:

Foreclosed Assets

The Company acquires assets from borrowers through loan restructurings, workouts, and foreclosures. Assets acquired may include real properties (e.g., residential real estate, land, and buildings) and commercial and personal properties. The Company recognizes foreclosed assets upon receiving assets in satisfaction of a loan (e.g., taking legal title or physical possession).

Foreclosed assets, consisting of OREO and other nonperforming assets, are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company had ~~$39.5~~$9.5 million in foreclosed assets as of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, compared with ~~$19.7~~$10.3 million as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The Company commences the foreclosure process on consumer mortgage loans after a borrower becomes more than 120 days delinquent in accordance with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau guidelines. The carrying value of consumer real estate loans that were in the process of active or suspended foreclosure was ~~$8.7~~$6.8 million and ~~$4.1~~$7.3 million as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. ~~The~~

As part of our actions to support customers during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company temporarily suspended certain mortgage foreclosure activities ~~in connection with its actions~~through December 31, 2021. Beginning January 1, 2022, the Company resumed these mortgage foreclosure activities. The Company continues to ~~support its customers during the COVID-19 pandemic.~~ ~~In addition, certain other foreclosures are awaiting for the end of government-mandated foreclosure moratoriums in certain states.~~take proactive measures to prevent avoidable foreclosures.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

~~Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”)~~TDRs are individually evaluated, and the type of restructuring is selected based on the loan type and the circumstances of the borrower’s financial difficulties. A TDR is a modification of the terms of a loan when the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not have otherwise considered. ~~Since March 2020, the~~The Company ~~has~~ implemented various commercial and consumer loan modification programs to provide its borrowers relief from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These COVID-related modifications ~~are~~occurred between March 2020 and January 1, 2022, and were generally not classified as TDRs due to the relief under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, ~~(“CARES Act”)~~as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, and the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised), and therefore are not included in the discussion below. Assistance provided in response to the COVID-19 pandemic could ~~delay~~have delayed the recognition of delinquencies, nonaccrual status, and net charge-offs for those borrowers who would have otherwise moved into past due or nonaccrual ~~status.~~status.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company has an allowance framework under ASU 2016-13 for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The Company’s allowance for credit losses, which includes both the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded credit commitments, is calculated with the objective of maintaining a reserve sufficient to absorb losses inherent in our credit portfolios. The measurement of the allowance for credit losses is based on management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses, ~~inherent in~~and periodic evaluation of the ~~Company’s~~loan portfolio, lending-related commitments and other relevant ~~financial assets.~~factors.

The allowance for credit losses is deducted from the amortized cost basis of a financial asset or a group of financial assets so that the balance sheet reflects the net amount the Company expects to collect. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of purchase premiums and discounts, deferred fees and costs, and escrow advances. Subsequent changes in expected credit losses are recognized in net income as a provision for, or a reversal of, credit loss expense.

The allowance for credit losses estimation involves procedures to consider the unique risk characteristics of the portfolio segments. The majority of the Company’s credit exposures that share risk characteristics with other similar exposures ~~and~~ are collectively evaluated. The collectively evaluated loans ~~cover~~include performing risk-rated loans and unfunded credit commitments. If an exposure does not share risk characteristics with other exposures, the Company generally estimates expected credit losses on an individual basis. These individually assessed loans include TDR and nonaccrual loans.

Allowance for Collectively Evaluated Loans

The allowance for collectively evaluated loans consists of a quantitative component that assesses the different risk factors considered in our models and a qualitative component that considers risk factors external to the models. Each of these components are described below.

•Quantitative Component— The ~~allowance for~~Company applies quantitative methods to estimate loan losses ~~is estimated using quantitative methods that consider~~by considering a variety of factors such as historical loss experience, the current credit quality of the portfolio, and an economic outlook over the life of the loan. The Company incorporates forward-looking information using macroeconomic scenarios, ~~applied over the forecasted life of the loans. The forward-looking information is limited to the reasonable and supportable period. These macroeconomic scenarios~~which include variables that are considered key drivers of increases and decreases in credit losses. The Company utilizes a probability-weighted, multiple-scenario forecast approach. These scenarios may consist of a base forecast representing management's view of the most likely outcome, ~~and~~combined with downside or upside scenarios reflecting possible worsening or improving economic conditions. The quantitative models incorporate a probability-weighted calculation of these macroeconomic scenarios over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. If the life of ~~the~~ loans extends beyond the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the Company will consider historical experience or long-run macroeconomic trends over the remaining lives of the loans to estimate the allowance for loan losses.

During the third quarter of 2021, the reasonable and supportable forecast period, key credit risk characteristics and macroeconomic variables to estimate the expected credit losses of the C&I segment were modified due to model enhancement. There were no changes to the overall model methodology. For ~~both~~ the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021 and 2020,~~March 31, 2022, there were no changes to the reasonable and supportable forecast period ~~except~~and reversion to the ~~C&I segment, which changed from eight to 11 quarters, and no changes to the reversion to~~ historical loss experience method. The change in the reasonable and supportable period for the C&I segment was due to model enhancement, including updates to certain macroeconomic variable inputs. There was no change to the overall model methodology.

The following table provides key credit risk characteristics and macroeconomic variables that the Company uses to estimate the expected credit losses by portfolio segment:

(2)Macroeconomic variables are included in the qualitative estimate.

Allowance for Loan Losses for the Commercial Loan Portfolio

The Company’s C&I ~~loan~~ lifetime loss rate model estimates credit losses by estimating a loss rate expected over the life of a loan. This loss rate is applied to the amortized cost basis, excluding accrued interest receivable, to determine expected credit losses. The lifetime loss rate model’s reasonable and supportable period spans ~~eleven~~11 quarters, thereafter immediately reverting to the historical average loss rate, expressed through the loan-level lifetime loss rate.

For CRE, multifamily residential, and construction and land loans, projected ~~probability~~probabilities of ~~defaults~~default (“PDs”) and loss given defaults (“LGDs”) are applied to the estimated exposure at default, considering the term and payment structure of the loan, to generate estimates of expected loss at the loan level. The forecast of future economic conditions returns to long-run historical economic trends ~~after~~within the reasonable and supportable period.

In order to estimate the life of a loan under both models, the contractual term of the loan is adjusted for estimated prepayments based on historical prepayment experience.

Allowance for Loan Losses for the Consumer Loan Portfolio

For single-family residential and HELOC loans, projected PDs and LGDs are applied to the estimated exposure at default, considering the term and payment structure of the loan, to generate estimates of expected loss at the loan level. The forecast of future economic conditions returns to long-run historical economic trends after the reasonable and supportable period. In order to estimate the life of a loan for the single-family residential and HELOC ~~portfolio,~~portfolios, the contractual term of the loan is adjusted for estimated prepayments based on historical prepayment experience. For other consumer loans, the Company uses a loss rate approach.

•Qualitative Component — The Company also considers the following qualitative factors in the determination of the collectively evaluated allowance, if these factors have not already been captured by the quantitative model. Such qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to:

–Loan growth trends;

–The volume and severity of past due financial assets, and the volume and severity of adversely classified financial assets;

–The Company’s lending policies and procedures, including changes in lending strategies, underwriting standards, collection, write-off and recovery practices;

–Knowledge of a borrower’s operations;

–The quality of the Company’s credit review system;

–The experience, ability and depth of the Company’s management, lending associates and other relevant associates;

–The effect of other external factors such as the regulatory and legal environments and changes in technology;

–Actual and expected changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions in which the Company operates; and

–Risk factors in certain industry sectors not captured by the quantitative models.

The magnitude of the impact of these factors on the Company’s qualitative assessment of the allowance for credit losses changes from period to period according to changes made by management in its assessment of these factors. The extent to which these factors change may be dependent on whether they are already reflected in quantitative loss estimates during the current period and the extent to which changes in these factors diverge from period to period.

While the Company’s allowance methodologies strive to reflect all relevant credit risk factors, there continues to be uncertainty associated with, but not limited to, potential imprecision in the estimation process due to the inherent time lag of obtaining information and normal variations between expected and actual outcomes. The Company may hold additional qualitative reserves that are designed to provide coverage for losses attributable to such risk.

Allowance for Individually Evaluated Loans

When a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other loans, such as in the case of certain nonaccrual or TDR loans, the Company estimates the allowance for loan losses on an individual loan basis. The allowance for loan losses for individually evaluated loans is measured as the difference between the recorded value of the loans and their fair value. For loans evaluated individually, the Company uses one of three different asset valuation measurement methods: (1) the fair value of collateral less costs to sell; (2) the present value of expected future cash flows; and (3) the loan's observable market price. If an individually evaluated loan is determined to be collateral dependent, the Company applies the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell method. If an individually evaluated loan is determined not to be collateral dependent, the Company uses the present value of future cash flows or the observable market value of the loan.

•Collateral-Dependent Loans — The allowance of a collateral-dependent loan is limited to the difference between the recorded value and fair value of the collateral less cost of disposal or sale. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, collateral-dependent commercial and consumer loans totaled ~~$45.4~~$35.2 million and ~~$10.4~~$14.2 million, respectively. In comparison, collateral-dependent commercial and consumer loans totaled ~~$97.2~~$37.0 million and ~~$17.3~~$14.0 million ~~respectively,~~ as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021, respectively. The Company's commercial collateral-dependent loans were secured by real estate, ~~or other collateral.

The Company invests in unconsolidated limited partnerships and similar entities that construct, own and operate affordable housing, historic rehabilitation, and wind and solar energy projects, of which the majority of such investments are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). As a limited partner in these partnerships, these investments are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits and tax benefits. An unrelated third party is typically the general partner or managing member who has control over the significant activities of such investments. While the Company’s interest in some of the investments may exceed 50% of the outstanding equity interests, the Company does not consolidate these structures due to the general partner’s or managing member’s ability to manage the entity, which is indicative of the general partner’s or managing member’s power over the entity. The Company’s ~~expected~~ maximum exposure to loss in connection with these partnerships consists of the unamortized investment balance and any tax credits claimed that may become subject to recapture.

Special purpose entities formed in connection with securitization transactions are generally considered VIEs. A CLO is a VIE that ~~manages~~purchases a pool of assets consisting primarily of ~~broadly syndicated~~non-investment grade corporate loans, ~~where~~and issues multiple tranches of notes ~~are issued~~ to ~~investors.~~investors to fund the asset purchases and pay upfront expenses associated with forming the CLO. The Company served as the collateral manager of a CLO that closed in 2019 and subsequently ~~sold~~reassigned its portfolio ~~management contract~~manager responsibilities in ~~2020 but~~2020. The Company retained the top three investment grade-rated tranches issued by the CLO, for which ~~had a~~the total carrying amount ~~of $291.6~~was $291.2 million and ~~$287.5~~$291.7 million as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Note 89 — Goodwill ~~and Other Intangible Assets~~

Goodwill

Total goodwill was $465.7 million as of both ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The Company’s annual goodwill impairment testing is performed as of December 31 of each year, or more frequently as events occur or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Based on the Company’s annual goodwill impairment testing as of December 31, 2021, there was no impairment. Additional information pertaining to the Company’s accounting policy for goodwill is summarized in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assetsto the Consolidated Financial Statements ofin the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K. ~~The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment testing as of December 31, 2020, and determined there was no goodwill impairment.~~ As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company reviewed the macroeconomic conditions, including the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on its business performance and market capitalization, and concluded that goodwill was not impaired.

Note 910 — Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments to Extend Credit — In the normal course of doing business, the Company provides customers ~~with~~ loan commitments on predetermined terms. These outstanding commitments to extend credit are not reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. While the Company does not anticipate losses ~~as a result of~~from these transactions, commitments to extend credit are included in determining the appropriate level of the allowance for unfunded credit commitments, and outstanding commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit (“SBLCs”).

The following table presents the Company’s credit-related commitments as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:

Loan commitments are agreements to lend to customers provided there are no violations of any conditions established in the agreement. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require maintenance of compensatory balances. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future funding requirements.

Commercial letters of credit are issued to facilitate domestic and foreign trade transactions, while SBLCs are generally contingent upon the failure of the customers to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party. As a result, the total contractual amounts do not necessarily represent future funding requirements. The Company’s historical experience is that SBLCs typically expire without being funded. Additionally, in many cases, the Company holds collateral in various forms against these SBLCs. As part of its risk management activities, the Company monitors the creditworthiness of customers in conjunction with its SBLC exposure. Customers are obligated to reimburse the Company for any payment made on the customers’ behalf. If the customers fail to pay, the Company would, as applicable, liquidate the collateral and/or offset existing accounts. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, total letters of credit of ~~$2.19~~$2.21 billion consisted of SBLCs of ~~$2.15~~$2.16 billion and commercial letters of credit of ~~$43.6~~$53.6 million. As of December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, total letters of credit of ~~$2.24~~$2.22 billion consisted of SBLCs of ~~$2.12~~$2.14 billion and commercial letters of credit of ~~$124.9~~$78.9 million. As of both ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, substantially all SBLCs were rated as “Pass” by the Bank’s internal credit risk rating system.

The Company applies the same credit underwriting criteria to extend loans, commitments and conditional obligations to customers. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Collateral and financial guarantees may be obtained based on management’s assessment of a customer’s credit risk. Collateral may include cash, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and ~~income-producing commercial~~real estate property.

Estimated exposure to loss from these commitments is included in the allowance for unfunded credit commitments and amounted to ~~$28.0~~$23.2 million and ~~$33.5~~$27.5 million as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

Guarantees — From time to time, the Company sells or securitizes single-family and multifamily residential loans with recourse in the ordinary course of business. The Company is obligated to repurchase up to the recourse ~~percentage~~component of the loans if the loans default. The following table presents the carrying amounts of loans sold or securitized with recourse and the maximum potential future payments as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:

The Company’s recourse reserve related to these guarantees is included in the allowance for unfunded credit commitments and totaled ~~$45~~$23 thousand and ~~$88~~$29 thousand as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. The allowance for unfunded credit commitments is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company continues to experience minimal losses from the single-family and multifamily residential loan portfolios sold or securitized with recourse.

Litigation — The Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, the Company accrues reserves for outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings when a loss contingency is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company estimates the amount of loss contingencies using current available information from legal proceedings, advice from legal counsel and available insurance coverage. Due to the inherent subjectivity of the assessments and unpredictability of the outcomes of the legal proceedings, any amounts accrued or included in this aggregate amount may not represent the ultimate loss to the Company from the legal proceedings in question. Thus, the Company’s exposure and ultimate losses may be higher, and possibly significantly more, than the amounts accrued.

Other Commitments — The Company has commitments to invest in qualified affordable housing partnerships, tax credit and other investments as discussed in Note 78 — Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Partnerships, Tax Credit and Other Investments, Net and Variable Interest Entities to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. As of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, these commitments were ~~$343.0~~$288.2 million and ~~$182.7~~$309.6 million, respectively. These commitments are included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 1011 — Stock Compensation Plans

Pursuant to the Company’s ~~2016~~2021 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, the Company may issue stocks, stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), including performance-based RSUs, stock purchase warrants, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock and dividend equivalents to eligible employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and other service providers of the Company and its subsidiaries. ~~The Company has granted~~There were no outstanding awards other than RSUs as ~~its primary incentive awards. Stock options have not been issued since 2011 and no stock options were outstanding as~~ of ~~both September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

The following table presents a summary of the total share-based compensation expense and the related net tax benefits ~~(deficiencies)~~ associated with the Company’s various employee share-based compensation plans for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020:~~2021:

Restricted Stock Units — RSUs are granted under the Company’s long-term incentive plan at no cost to the recipient. RSUs generally cliff vest after three years of continued employment from the date of the grant, and are authorized to settle predominantly in shares of the Company’s common stock. Certain RSUs are settled in cash. Dividends are accrued during the vesting period and paid at the time of vesting. While a portion of RSUs are time-based vesting awards, others vest subject to the attainment of specified performance goals, referred to as “performance-based RSUs.” Performance-based RSUs are granted annually upon approval by the Company’s Compensation Committee based on the performance in the year prior to the grant date of the award. The number of awards that vest can range from zero to a maximum of 200% of the granted number of awards based on the Company’s achievement of specified performance criteria over a performance period of three years.

Compensation costs are calculated using the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. Compensation costs for certain time-based awards that will be settled in cash are adjusted to fair value based on changes in the share price of the Company’s common stock up to the settlement date. For performance-based RSUs, the compensation costs are based on grant date fair value which considers both performance and market conditions, and is subject to subsequent adjustments based on the Company’s outcome in meeting the performance criteria at the end of the performance period. Compensation costs of both ~~time-based~~time and performance-based awards are estimated based on awards ultimately expected to vest, and are recognized net of estimated forfeitures on a straight-line basis from the grant date until the vesting date of each grant. For accounting on stock-based compensation plans, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies —- Significant Accounting Policies — Stock-Based Compensation to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K for additional information.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company modified 31,523 time-based RSUs held by 119 foreign employees from vesting in cash to vesting in shares without changing any of the other terms. There was no incremental compensation expense recognized as a result of the modification for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The following table presents a summary of the activities for the Company’s time-based and performance-based RSUs that will be settled in shares for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

Note 1314 — Business Segments

The Company organizes its operations into 3 reportable operating segments: (1) Consumer and Business Banking; (2) Commercial Banking; and (3) Other. These segments are defined by the type of customers served, and the related products and services provided. The segments reflect how financial information is currently evaluated by management. Operating segment results are based on the Company’s internal management reporting process, which reflects assignments and allocations of certain balance sheet and income statement items. The information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities due to the interrelationships among the segments.

The Consumer and Business Banking segment primarily provides financial products and services to consumer and commercial customers through the Company’s domestic branch network and digital banking platform. This segment offers consumer and commercial deposits, mortgage and home equity loans, and other products and services. It also originates commercial loans for small- and medium-sized enterprises through the Company’s branch network. Other products and services provided by this segment include wealth management, treasury management, interest rate risk hedging and foreign exchange services.

The Commercial Banking segment primarily generates commercial ~~loans~~loan and ~~deposits.~~deposit products. Commercial loan products include ~~commercial business loans and~~CRE lending, construction finance, working capital lines of credit, trade finance, ~~loans and~~ letters of credit, ~~CRE loans, construction and land loans,~~commercial business lending, affordable housing ~~loans and letters of credit,~~lending, asset-based lending, asset-backed finance, project finance and equipment financing. Commercial deposit products and other financial services include treasury management, foreign exchange services and interest rate and commodity risk hedging.

The remaining centralized functions, including the corporate treasury activities of the Company and eliminations of inter-segment amounts, have been aggregated and included in the Other segment, which provides broad administrative support to the 2 core segments, namely the Consumer and Business Banking and the Commercial Banking segments.

5352

The Company utilizes an internal reporting process to measure the performance of the 3 operating segments within the Company. The internal reporting process derives operating segment results by utilizing allocation methodologies for revenues and expenses. Net interest income of each segment represents the difference between actual interest earned on assets and interest incurred on liabilities of the segment, adjusted for funding charges or credits through the Company’s internal funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) process. Noninterest income and noninterest expense directly attributable to a business segment are assigned to that segment. Indirect costs, including technology-related costs and corporate overhead, are allocated based on a segment’s estimated usage using factors including but not limited to, full-time equivalent employees, net interest income, and loan and deposit volume. Charge-offs are recorded to the segment directly associated with the respective loans charged off, and provision for credit losses is recorded to the segments based on the related loans for which allowances are evaluated. The ~~Company’s~~Company��s internal reporting process utilizes a full-allocation methodology. Under this methodology, corporate and indirect expenses incurred by the Other segment are allocated to the Consumer and Business Banking and the Commercial Banking segments, except certain corporate treasury-related expenses and insignificant unallocated expenses.

The corporate treasury function within the Other segment is responsible for the Company’s liquidity and interest rate management. The Company’s internal FTP process is also managed by the corporate treasury function within the Other segment. The process is formulated with the goal of encouraging loan and deposit growth that is consistent with the Company’s overall profitability objectives, as well as to provide a reasonable and consistent basis for the measurement of its business segments’ net interest margins and profitability. The FTP process charges a cost to fund loans (“FTP charges for loans”) and allocates credits for funds provided from deposits (“FTP credits for deposits”) using internal FTP rates. FTP charges for loans are determined based on a matched cost of funds, which is tied to the pricing and term characteristics of the loans. FTP credits for deposits are based on matched funding credit rates, which are tied to the implied or stated maturity of the deposits. FTP credits for deposits reflect the long-term value generated by the deposits. The net spread between the total internal FTP charges and credits is recorded as part of net interest income in the Other segment. The FTP process transfers the corporate interest rate risk exposure to the treasury function within the Other segment, where such exposures are centrally managed. The Company’s internal FTP assumptions and methodologies are reviewed at least annually to ensure that the process is reflective of current market conditions.

The following tables present the operating results and other key financial measures for the individual operating segments as of and for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and ~~2020:~~2021:

On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) to provide additional relief for individuals and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including additional funding for the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP Extension Act of 2021, enacted on March 30, 2021, extended the PPP through May 31, 2021. The Company has been a participating lender in the PPP since 2020. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately 3,600 PPP loans outstanding with balances totaling $807.3 million, which were recorded in the commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loan portfolio. During the first nine months of 2021, the Company submitted and received Small Business Administration (“SBA”) approval for the forgiveness of approximately 7,800 PPP loans, totaling $1.64 billion.

The Company also participated in the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s (the “Federal Reserve”) Main Street Lending Program (“MSLP”) and funded $233.6 million in MSLP loans as of December 31, 2020. As part of the MSLP, the related Main Street special purpose vehicle purchased 95% participations in the loans originated. The portion retained by the Company totaled $9.9 million and $9.5 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The MSLP was terminated on January 8, 2021.

LIBOR Transition

~~(4)~~
~~Includes $807.3 million, $1.43 billion~~

In March 2021, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority formally announced the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) cessation dates. As of January 1, 2022, the one-week and ~~$1.77 billion~~two-month U.S. dollar (“USD”) LIBOR tenors were no longer published. The overnight, one-, three-, six- and 12-month USD LIBOR tenors will continue to be calculated using panel bank submissions for the purpose of ~~PPP loans as of September 30, 2021,~~legacy contracts but will permanently cease on June 30, ~~2021~~2023.

In connection with the transition from LIBOR, the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act was signed into law as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, on March 15, 2022. This federal legislation provides a targeted solution for financial contracts that mature after the cessation of LIBOR in mid-2023 and ~~September 30, 2020, respectively.~~

~~(5)Includes $1.43 billion~~have no effective means to replace LIBOR upon its cessation. For contracts in which a party has the discretion to select a successor rate, the legislation provides a safe harbor to parties if they choose the benchmark replacement to be identified by the Board of ~~advances from~~Governors of the Federal Reserve ~~Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility~~System (the “Federal Reserve”) through regulations that are to be promulgated within 180 days after the legislation’s enactment. Any Federal Reserve-identified replacement benchmark will be based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“~~PPPLF”~~SOFR”) as, a rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of ~~September~~New York, and will include an appropriate “tenor spread adjustment” between LIBOR and SOFR.

The Company holds a significant volume of LIBOR-based products, including loans, derivatives, debt securities, assets purchased under resale agreements (“resale agreements”), junior subordinated debt and repurchase agreements that are indexed to LIBOR tenors that will cease to be published after June 30, ~~2020.~~2023. The Company has a cross-functional team to manage the communication of the Company’s transition plans with both internal and external stakeholders. The team helps to ensure that the Company appropriately updates its business processes, analytical tools, information systems and contract language to minimize disruption during and after the LIBOR transition. The Company has invested in updates to business and legal processes, models, analytical tools, and information and operational systems to facilitate the transition of legacy LIBOR products and offer products under alternative rates.

The Company began offering loans based on alternative reference rates, including SOFR and the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index during the fourth quarter of 2021, and ceased offering new LIBOR loans and any renewals or extensions that extend the use of LIBOR rates beginning January 1, 2022. The Company also adopted industry best practice guidelines for fallback language for new transactions and distributed communications related to the transition to certain impacted internal and external stakeholders. The Company’s LIBOR transition is anticipated to continue through June 30, 2023.

The Company will continue to monitor potential risks and impacts associated with the transition. For additional information related to the potential impact surrounding the transition from LIBOR on the Company’s business, see Item 1A. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Financial Matters in the Company’s 2021 Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

The Company’s primary source of revenue is net interest income, which is the interest income earned on interest-earning assets less interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. Net interest income and net interest margin are impacted by several factors, including changes in average balances and the composition of interest-earning assets and funding sources, market interest rate fluctuations and the slope of the yield curve, repricing characteristics and maturity of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the volume of noninterest-bearing sources of funds, and asset quality.

~~Third~~First quarter ~~2021~~2022 net interest income before provision for credit losses was ~~$395.7~~$415.6 million, an increase of ~~$71.6~~$61.9 million or ~~22%~~18%, compared with ~~third~~$353.7 million for the first quarter ~~2020 net interest income~~ of ~~$324.1 million. Third~~2021. First quarter ~~2021~~2022 net interest margin was ~~2.70%~~2.87%, ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~two basis points (“bps”)~~16 bps from ~~2.72%~~2.71% for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2020.~~2021. The ~~change in~~year-over-year net interest income growth and net interest margin expansion primarily reflected strong loan growth, higher ~~interest income from loans and AFS debt securities due to volume growth,~~loan yields and a lower cost of ~~time and money market~~ deposits. Net interest income for the first nine months of 2021 was $1.13 billion, an increase of $95.3 million or 9%, compared with $1.03 billion for the first nine months of 2020. Net interest margin was 2.72% for the first nine months of 2021, a decrease of 33 bps from 3.05% for the first nine months of 2020. The changes in net interest income and net interest margin primarily benefited from a lower cost of time and money market deposits, higher interest income from AFS debt securities due to volume growth, partially offset by lower interest income on loans due to yield compression. The increase in average interest-bearing cash and deposits with banks, which earned an average yield of 0.25% and 0.26% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, also contributed to net interest margin compression.

Average interest-earning assets were $58.24 billion for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $10.81 billion or 23% from $47.43 billion for the third quarter of 2020. For the first nine months of 2021, the average interest-earning assets were $55.35 billion, an increase of $10.27 billion or 23% from $45.08$58.69 billion for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2020.~~2022, an increase of $5.84 billion or 11% from $52.85 billion for the first quarter of 2021. The year-over-year ~~increases~~increase in average interest-earning assets ~~for both periods reflect~~primarily reflected growth in the average balances of ~~AFS~~ debt securities, loans, and resale agreements, partially offset by a decrease in average interest-bearing cash and deposits with banks.

The yield on average interest-earning assets for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2021~~2022 was ~~2.83%~~2.99%, ~~a decrease~~an increase of 24six bps from 3.07% for the third quarter of 2020, primarily reflecting an increase in lower yielding AFS debt securities and interest-bearing cash and deposits with banks in the earnings asset mix. The yield on average interest-earning assets2.93% for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2021 was 2.89%,~~2021. Strong loan growth drove a ~~decrease of 71 bps from 3.60% for~~favorable shift in the average interest-earning asset mix to higher yielding assets in the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2020, primarily reflecting compression in average loan yields.~~

2022.

~~Average loan yield was 3.61% for the third quarter of 2021, an increase of one bp from 3.60% for the third quarter of 2020. Average~~

The average loan yield for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2021~~2022 was ~~3.59%~~3.63%, ~~a decrease~~an increase of 49five bps from ~~4.08%~~3.58% for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2020. Excluding the impacts of PPP loans, the adjusted average loan yield was 3.56%~~2021. 65% and 3.70% for the third quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 3.58% and 4.10% for the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively. For additional details, see the reconciliations of non-GAAP measures presented under ~~Item 2. MD&A — Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures~~ ~~in this Form 10-Q. Approximately 65%~~64% of loans held-for-investment were variable-rate or hybrid loans in their ~~adjustable rate~~adjustable-rate period as of ~~both September 30,~~March 31, 2022 and 2021, ~~and 2020.~~respectively.

Deposits are an important source of funds and impact both net interest income and net interest margin. The average cost of deposits was ~~0.12% for the third quarter of 2021, a 21 bp decrease from 0.33% for the third quarter of 2020. The average cost of deposits was 0.15%~~0.10% for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2021, a 38 bp~~2022, an eight bps decrease from ~~0.53%~~0.18% for the ~~same period in 2020.~~first quarter of 2021. The year-over-year ~~decreases~~decrease reflected a lower ~~interest rate environment in 2021, as well as the year-over-year run-off of higher rate time deposits. The~~rates paid on interest-bearing deposits, a higher proportion of noninterest-bearing demand deposits which comprised 43% and 40% of average total deposits for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, compared with 35% and 33% for the same periods of 2020, respectively, also contributed to the decrease in the ~~average cost~~deposit mix, and the run-off of higher-cost time deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits ~~was 0.21% for the third~~decreased 13 bps to 0.17% in first quarter of ~~2021, a 29 bp decrease~~2022, from ~~0.50% for~~0.30% in the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2020. The~~2021. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits comprised 43% of average ~~cost~~total deposits in the first quarter of ~~interest-bearing~~2022, compared with 38% in the first quarter of 2021. Time deposits ~~was 0.25%~~comprised 15% of average total deposits for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2021, a 54 bp decrease from 0.79%~~2022, compared with 19% for the ~~same period in 2020.~~first quarter of 2021.

The average cost of funds was ~~0.14%~~0.12% for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, a decrease of 2411 bps from ~~0.38% for the third quarter of 2020. For the first nine months of 2021, the average cost of funds was 0.18%, a decrease of 41 bps from 0.59%~~0.23% for the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2020.~~2021. The decrease in the average cost of funds reflected the lower cost of deposits ~~as well as decreases in other sources~~and the maturity of ~~funding due to changes in~~$175.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances, which had a weighted average rate of 0.59% during the ~~interest rate environment.~~first quarter of 2021. Other sources of funding included in the calculation of the average cost of funds are FHLB advances, assets sold under repurchase agreements (“repurchase agreements”), long-term debt and short-term borrowings.

(1)During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company enhanced its segment allocation methodology related to the fair values of interest rate and commodity derivative contracts, which are included in noninterest income. These fair values, which were previously allocated to the “Commercial Banking” segment prior to the fourth quarter 2021, have since been reclassified between “Consumer and Business Banking” and “Commercial Banking.” Balances for the first quarter of 2021 have been reclassified to reflect these allocation changes for comparability.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Debt Securities

The Company maintains a portfolio of high quality and liquid debt securities with a moderate ~~durations to minimize~~duration profile. It closely manages the overall portfolio interest rate and liquidity risks. The Company’s debt securities provide:

•interest income for earnings and yield enhancement;

•availability for funding needs arising during the normal course of business;

•the ability to execute interest rate risk management strategies in response to changes in economic or market conditions; and

•collateral to support pledging agreements as required and/or to enhance the Company’s borrowing capacity.

While the Company intends to hold its debt securities indefinitely, it may sell AFS securities in response to changes in the balance sheet and related interest rate risk to meet liquidity, regulatory, and strategic requirements.

The Company believes that the gross unrealized losses were due to non-credit related factors and were primarily attributable to ~~yield curve movement.~~ ~~The impact~~interest rate movement and widened spreads for certain securities during the first quarter of the COVID-19 pandemic has been reduced by the government’s aggressive monetary policy, including benchmark rate cuts and various relief measures that contributed to the gradual and steady recovery of the market to pre-pandemic levels. 2022.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had no intention to sell securities with unrealized losses and believed it was more-likely-than-not that it would not be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized costs.

The Company assesses individual ~~security~~securities for credit losses for each reporting period. If a credit loss is identified, the Company records an impairment ~~related to credit losses~~ through the allowance for credit losses with a corresponding Provision for credit losses on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities

During the first ~~nine months~~quarter of ~~2021~~2022, the Company transferred $3.01 billion in aggregate fair value of U.S. Treasury, government agency and ~~2020. For a description~~government-sponsored enterprise debt and mortgage-back securities, and municipal securities from AFS to HTM. In comparison, there were no HTM debt securities as of December 31, 2021. The Company’s HTM debt securities are carried at amortized cost. The unrealized gains or losses at the date of transfer of these securities continue to be reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), net of tax on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are amortized over the remaining life of the ~~policies, methodologies and judgments used to determine~~securities.

For HTM debt securities, the allowance for credit losses ~~see~~ ~~Item 7. MD&A — Critical Accounting Policies~~is measured using an expected loss model, similar to the methodology used for loans. Any expected credit loss is provided through the allowance for credit losses and ~~Estimates~~is deducted from the amortized cost basis reflecting on the Consolidated Balance Sheet the net amount the Company expects to collect. As of March 31, 2022, all HTM securities were rated “AA-” or “Aa3” or higher by nationally recognized credit rating agencies. All HTM debt securities were issued, guaranteed, or supported by the ~~Company’s 2020 Form 10-K~~U.S. government or government-sponsored enterprises. Accordingly, the Company applied a zero credit loss assumption for these securities and no allowance for credit loss was recorded as of March 31, 2022.

Repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and recorded as liabilities based on the values at which the assets are sold. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the collateral for the repurchase agreements was comprised of U.S. Treasury securities, and U.S. government agency and U.S. government-sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities. To ensure the market value of the underlying collateral remains sufficient, the Company monitors the fair value of collateral pledged relative to the principal amounts borrowed under ~~the~~ repurchase agreements. The Company manages liquidity risks related to the repurchase agreements by sourcing funds from a diverse group of counterparties, and entering into repurchase agreements with longer durations, when appropriate. For additional details, see Note 34 — Assets Purchased under Resale Agreements and Sold under Repurchase Agreements to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

The Company uses long-term debt to provide funding to acquire interest-earning assets, and to enhance liquidity and regulatory capital adequacy. Long-term debt totaled ~~$147.6 million and $147.4~~$147.7 million as of ~~September 30, 2021~~both March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020, respectively.~~2021. Long-term debt consists of junior subordinated debt, which qualifies as Tier 2 capital for regulatory ~~capital~~ purposes. The junior subordinated debt was issued in connection with the Company’s various pooled trust preferred securities offerings, as well as with common stock issued by the six wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company in conjunction with these offerings. The junior subordinated debt had a weighted-average interest rate of ~~1.74%~~1.98% and ~~2.41%~~1.78% for the first ~~nine months~~quarters of ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, with remaining maturities ranging between ~~13.2~~12.7 years and ~~16.0~~15.5 years as of ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

Regulatory Capital and Ratios

The federal banking agencies have risk-based capital adequacy requirements intended to ensure that banking organizations maintain capital that is commensurate with the degree of risk associated with ~~a banking organization’s~~their operations. The Company and the Bank are each subject to these regulatory capital adequacy requirements. The Bank is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System and is primarily regulated by the Federal Reserve and the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (“DFPI”). The Company and the Bank are required to comply with the Basel III Capital Rules adopted by the federal banking agencies. Both the Company and the Bank are standardized approach institutions under Basel III Capital Rules. See Item 1. Business — Supervision and Regulation — Regulatory Capital Requirements and ~~— Recent~~ Regulatory Capital-Related Development ofin the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K for additional details.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 on January 1, ~~2020.~~2020, which requires the measurement of the allowance for credit losses to be based on management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses inherent in the Company’s relevant financial assets. The Company has elected the phase-in option provided by a final rule that delays an estimate of the ~~regulatory guidance, which delays the estimated impact of Current Expected Credit Losses~~current expected credit losses methodology (“CECL”) effect on regulatory capital for two years and phases the impact over three years. ~~As a result,~~The rule permits certain banking organizations to exclude from regulatory capital the ~~effects~~initial adoption impact of CECL, onplus 25% of the ~~Company’s and~~cumulative changes in the ~~Bank’s regulatory capital will be delayed through the year~~allowance for credit losses under CECL for each period until December 31, 2021, ~~after~~followed by a three-year phase-out period in which the ~~effects will be phased-in over a three-year period from January 1,~~aggregate benefit is reduced by 25% in 2022, ~~through December 31,~~50% in 2023 and 75% in 2024. ~~In April 2020, in recognition of~~Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act requirements, and to facilitate the use of the PPPLF, the U.S. banking agencies issued an interim final rule that banking organizations may exclude from leverage and risk-based capital requirements any eligible assets sold or pledged to the Federal Reserve on a non-recourse basis as part of the PPPLF. In addition, under the CARES Act,Act”), loans originated by a banking organization under the PPP ~~(whether or not sold or pledged in the PPPLF)~~ will be risk-weighted at zero percent for regulatory capital purposes. Accordingly, the ~~September 30, 2021~~ capital ratios ~~exclude~~as of March 31, 2022 delayed 75% of the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory capital through the ~~increased allowance for loan losses due to CECL,~~year 2021, and PPP loans are risk-weighted at ~~zero percent.

The following table presents the Company’s and the Bank’s capital ratios as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 under the Basel III Capital Rules, and those required by regulatory agencies for capital adequacy and well-capitalized classification purposes:

~~Other Matters~~

~~London Interbank Offered Rate Transition~~

On March 5, 2021, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) confirmed that the one-week and two-month U.S. dollar (“USD”) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) settings will permanently cease following the LIBOR publication on December 31, 2021, and that the overnight, one-month, three-month, six-month and 12-month USD LIBOR settings will permanently cease following the LIBOR publication on June 30, 2023. The federal banking agencies have continued to encourage banks to cease entering into new contracts that use USD LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as practicable and in any event by December 31, 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to LIBOR, although the adoption of SOFR remains voluntary. The ARRC has also formally recommended the CME Group’s forward-looking SOFR term rates. The ARRC supports the use of SOFR term rates for business loan activity and continues to recommend using forms of overnight and averages of SOFR where possible. On October 6, 2021, the ARRC released a summary of its spread-adjusted fallback recommendations for contracts referencing USD LIBOR.

A majority of the Company’s LIBOR-based loans, derivatives, debt securities, resale agreements, junior subordinated debt and repurchase agreements are indexed to LIBOR tenors that will cease to be published after June 30, 2023. The volume of the Company’s LIBOR-based products that mature after June 30, 2023 is significant and, if not sufficiently planned for, the discontinuation of LIBOR could result in financial, operational, legal, reputational or compliance risks to the Company.

The transition is anticipated to span several reporting periods through mid-2023 with the confirmed LIBOR cessation dates. The Company created a cross-functional team to manage the communication of the Company’s transition plans with both internal and external stakeholders and to ensure that the Company appropriately updates its business processes, analytical tools, information systems and contract language to minimize disruptions during and after the LIBOR transition. The Company has taken steps to transition LIBOR contracts maturing after the LIBOR cessation dates to alternative rates. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company will no longer extend new LIBOR-based loans as a primary offering to customers. The Company will offer new variable rate loans based on alternative reference rates. For additional information related to the potential impact surrounding the transition from LIBOR on the Company’s business, see ~~Item 1A. Risk Factors~~ ~~in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K.~~

~~Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements~~

In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company may enter into or be a party to transactions that are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are considered to be off-balance sheet arrangements. Off-balance sheet arrangements are any contractual arrangements to which a nonconsolidated entity is a party and under which the Company has: (1) any obligation under a guarantee contract; (2) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets; (3) any obligation under certain derivative instruments; or (4) any obligation under a material variable interest held by the Company in a nonconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with the Company.

~~Commitments to Extend Credit~~

As a financial service provider, the Company routinely enters into commitments to extend credit such as loan commitments, commercial letters of credit for foreign and domestic trade, standby letters of credit (“SBLCs”) and financial guarantees to meet the financing needs of its customers. Many of these commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. The credit policies used in underwriting loans to customers are also used to extend these commitments. Under some of these contractual agreements, the Company may also have liabilities contingent upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company’s liquidity sources have been, and are expected to be, sufficient to meet the cash requirements of its lending activities.

~~Guarantees~~

In the ordinary course of business, the Company periodically enters into various guarantee agreements in which the Company sells or securitizes loans with recourse. Under these guarantee arrangements, the Company is contingently obligated to repurchase the recourse component of the loans when the loans default.

Further information and discussion about the Company’s loan commitments, commercial letters of credit, SBLCs, guarantees, and significant contractual arrangements under which the Company may be held contingently liable is included in ~~Note 9~~—~~Commitments and Contingencies~~ ~~to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. In addition, the Company has commitments and obligations under post-retirement benefit plans as described in~~ ~~Note 14 — Employee Benefit Plans~~ ~~to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K, and has contractual obligations for future payments on debts, borrowings and lease obligations as detailed in~~ ~~Item 7. MD&A — Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations~~ ~~of the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K.~~

Risk Management

Overview

In the normal course of conducting its ~~businesses,~~business, the Company is exposed to a variety of risks, some of which are inherent to the financial services industry and others of which are more specific to the Company’s businesses. The Company operates under a Board-approved ~~Enterprise Risk Management~~enterprise risk management (“ERM”) framework, which outlines the company-wide approach to risk management and oversight, and describes the structures and practices employed to manage the current and emerging risks inherent to the Company. The Company’s ERM program incorporates risk management throughout the organization in identifying, managing, monitoring, and reporting risks. It identifies the Company’s major risk categories as credit ~~risk;~~risk, liquidity ~~risk;~~risk, capital ~~risk;~~risk, market ~~risk;~~risk, operational ~~risk;~~risk, compliance and regulatory ~~risks;~~risks, legal ~~risks;~~risks, strategic ~~risks;~~risks, and reputational risks.

The Risk Oversight Committee of the Board of Directors monitors the ERM program through stated risk categories and provides oversight of the Company’s risk appetite and control environment. The Risk Oversight Committee provides focused oversight of the Company’s identified enterprise risk categories on behalf of the full Board of Directors. Under the direction of the Risk Oversight Committee, management committees apply targeted strategies to reduce the risks to which the Company’s operations are exposed.

The Company’s ERM program is executed along the three lines of defense model, which provides for a consistent and standardized risk management control environment across the enterprise. The first line of defense is comprised of production, operational, and support units. The second line of defense is comprised of various risk management and control functions charged with monitoring and managing specific major risk categories and/or risk subcategories. The third line of defense is comprised of the Internal Audit function and Independent Asset Review. Internal Audit provides assurance and evaluates the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes as established by the Company. Internal Audit has organizational independence and objectivity, reporting directly to the Board’s Audit Committee. Further discussion and analysis of ~~each~~some major risk ~~area~~areas are ~~included~~detailed in the following ~~sub-sections~~subsections of Risk Management.

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk is the risk that a borrower or a counterparty will fail to perform according to the terms and conditions of a loan or investment and expose the Company to loss. Credit risk exists with many of the Company’s assets and exposures such as loans and certain derivatives. The majority of the Company’s credit risk is associated with lending activities.

The Risk Oversight Committee has primary oversight responsibility for ~~overseeing~~identified enterprise risk categories including credit risk. The Risk Oversight Committee monitors management’s assessment of asset quality, ~~and~~ credit risk trends, credit quality administration, ~~and~~ underwriting standards, ~~as well as~~and portfolio credit risk management strategies and processes, such as diversification and concentration limits, all of which enable management to control credit risk. At the management level, the Credit Risk Management Committee has primary oversight responsibility for credit risk. The Senior Credit Supervision function manages credit policy ~~and provides the resources to manage~~for the line of business transactional credit risk, assuring that all exposure is risk-rated according to the requirements of the credit risk rating policy. The Senior Credit Supervision function evaluates and reports the overall credit risk exposure to senior management and the Risk Oversight Committee. The Independent Asset Review function ~~reports directly to the Board’s Risk Oversight Committee and~~ supports a strong credit risk management culture by providing an independent and objective assessment of underwriting and ~~asset~~documentation quality, ofreporting directly to the ~~loan portfolio.~~Board’s Risk Oversight Committee. A key focus of ~~the Company’s~~our credit risk management is adherence to a well-controlled underwriting process.

The Company assesses ~~the~~ overall credit quality performance of the loan held-for-investment portfolio through an integrated analysis of specific performance ratios. This approach forms the basis of the discussion in the sections immediately following: ~~Credit Quality,~~ Nonperforming Assets, Troubled Debt Restructurings (“~~TDRs”~~TDR”) and Allowance for Credit Losses.

Credit Quality

The Company utilizes a credit risk rating system to assist in monitoring credit quality. Loans are evaluated using the Company’s internal credit risk rating of ~~one~~1 through ten. Loans risk rated one through five are assigned an internal risk rating category of “Pass.” Loans assigned with a credit risk rating of six have potential weaknesses that warrant closer attention by management and are assigned an internal risk rating category of “Special mention.” Loans assigned a credit risk rating of seven or eight have well-defined weaknesses that may jeopardize the full and timely repayment of the loan; these are assigned an internal risk rating category of “Substandard.” Loans assigned a credit risk rating of nine have insufficient sources of repayment and a high probability of loss; these are assigned an internal risk rating category of “Doubtful.” Loans assigned a credit risk rating of ten are uncollectible and of such little value that they are no longer considered bankable assets; these are assigned an internal risk rating category of “Loss.” Exposures categorized as criticized consist of “Special mention,” “Substandard,” “Doubtful” and “Loss” categories. Exposures categorized as classified consist of “Substandard,” “Doubtful” and “Loss” categories.10. For more information on the Company’s credit quality indicators and internal credit risk ratings, refer to Note 67 — Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other nonperforming assets. Other nonperforming assets and OREO are repossessed assets and properties, respectively, acquired through foreclosure, or through full or partial satisfaction of loans held-for-investment. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they become 90 days past due or when the full collection of principal or interest becomes uncertain regardless of the length of past due status. Collectability is generally assessed based on economic and business conditions, the borrower’s financial condition, and the adequacy of collateral, if any. For additional details regarding the Company’s nonaccrual loan policy, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Loans Held-for-Investment to the Consolidated Financial Statements ofin the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K.

OREO was $28.8 million as of September 30, 2021, an increase of $13.0 million or 82% from $15.8 million as of December 31, 2020. The increase was due to an addition of a CRE office property totaling $28.8 million, which the Company took possession of during the third quarter of 2021, offset by a sale of a retail CRE property.

Other nonperforming assets totaled $10.7 million and $3.9 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, a net increase of $6.8 million or 175%, due to transfers from oil and gas loans to foreclosed assets, partially offset by sales and write-downs of oil and gas foreclosed assets.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

TDRs are loans for which contractual terms have been modified by the Company for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, and for which a concession to the borrower was granted that the Company would not otherwise consider. The Company’s loan modifications are handled on a case-by-case basis and are negotiated to achieve mutually agreeable terms that maximize loan collectability and meet the borrower’s financial needs. The following table presents the performing and nonperforming TDRs by portfolio segment as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The allowance for loan losses for TDRs was $~~12.3 million~~896 thousand as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and $~~10.3~~4.8 million as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Loan Modifications Due to COVID-19 Pandemic

~~Since late March 2020, under various forbearance programs, the~~The Company has granted a range of commercial and consumer loan accommodations, predominantly in the form of payment deferrals, to provide relief to borrowers experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For COVID-19 related loan modifications, which occurred between March 2020 through January 1, 2022 that have met the loan modification criteria under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, ~~(“CAA”), permits a financial institution to elect to temporarily suspend TDR accounting~~or the criteria specified under ASC Subtopic 310-40 in certain circumstances. To be eligible under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as modified by the CAA, a loan modification must be (1) related to the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) executed on a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (3) executed between March 1, 2020, and the earlier of (a) 60 days after the date of termination of the federal National Emergency or (b) January 1, 2022. The federal banking regulators, in consultation with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), issued the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with ~~Customer~~Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (Revised) ~~(the “Interagency Statement”)~~issued on April 7, 2020, ~~confirming that, for~~the Company elected to temporarily suspend TDR accounting under ASC Subtopic 310-40.

See additional information in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Significant Accounting Policies — Troubled Debt Restructurings to the Consolidated Financial Statements ofin the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K.

The delinquency aging of loans modified related to the COVID-19 pandemic is frozen at the time of the modification. As a result, the recognition of delinquent loans, nonaccrual status and loan net charge-offs may be delayed for certain borrowers who are enrolled in these loan modification programs, which would have otherwise moved into past due or nonaccrual status. Interest income continues to be recognized over the accommodation periods.

~~The following table provides a summary of the COVID-19 pandemic-related loan modifications that remained under their modified terms as of September 30, 2021 and~~ ~~December 31, 2020~~. These amounts represent loan modifications that meet the criteria under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as amended by the CAA, or the Interagency Statement and therefore are not considered as TDRs. These amounts also exclude loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic made on existing TDRs. A loan is counted once in the table regardless of the number of accommodations the borrower has received.

The above table excludes loan modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic that did not meet the criteria provided under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as amended by the CAA, or the Interagency Statement, and that were evaluated and deemed to not be classified as TDRs. The determination to not consider a modification a TDR was made on the premise that the amount of the delayed restructured payments was insignificant relative to the unpaid principal or the collateral value of the loan, resulting in an insignificant shortfall in the contractual amount due from the borrower, or an insignificant delay in the timing of the restructured payment period relative to the payment frequency under the loan’s original contractual maturity or expected duration.

The COVID-19 pandemic-related loan modifications primarily consisted of payment deferrals six months or less in duration, in the form of either principal payment deferrals, where the borrower was still paying interest, or full principal and interest payment deferrals. Other forbearance programs consisted of interest rate concessions. The deferred payments for commercial loans are either repaid at contractual maturity or spread over the remaining contractual term of the loan. The deferred payments for consumer loans are repaid under defined payment plans between six to 72 months after the deferral period ends, or the loan term is extended beyond the contractual maturity by the number of payments deferred.

As of ~~September 30, 2021, the Company had $747.0 million of~~March 31, 2022, COVID-19 loans under payment deferral and forbearance programs ~~a decrease of $236.2~~totaled $73.6 million, or ~~24% from $983.2~~0.2% of total loans, compared to $363.1 million, or 0.9% of total loans as of December 31, 2020. The loans on deferral as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, largely consisted of CRE and residential mortgage loans. The year-to-date decrease in loans on deferral reflected the lifting of COVID-19 related business shutdowns and restrictions on travel and restaurant dining. The increase of ~~CRE COVID-19 related loan deferrals that were making at least partial payments from 73% as of December 31, 2020~~ ~~to 92% as of~~ ~~September 30, 2021~~ ~~also signaled improvements in the economy.~~ 2021. Loans that have exited the modification program were predominantly current as of September 30, 2021. The Company monitors the delinquency status of loans exiting relief programs on an ongoing basis. The impacts of the COVID-19 loan modifications were considered in the determination of the allowance for credit loss.March 31, 2022.

Allowance for Credit Losses

~~The Company’s~~ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments requires the measurement of the allowance for credit losses isto be based on management’s best estimate of lifetime expected credit losses inherent in the Company’s relevant financial assets. The allowance for credit losses estimate uses various models and estimation techniques based on historical loss experience, current borrower characteristics, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other relevant factors. In the case of loans and securities, allowance for credit losses are contra-asset valuation accounts that are deducted from the amortized cost basis of these assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. In the case of unfunded credit commitments, the allowance for credit losses is a liability account that is reported as a component of ~~Accrued expenses and other liabilities~~ ~~in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.~~

In addition to the allowance for loan losses, the Company maintains an allowance for unfunded credit commitments. The Company has three general areas for which it provides the allowance for unfunded credit commitments: 1) recourse obligations for loans sold, 2) letters of credit, and 3) unfunded lending commitments. The Company’s methodology for determining the allowance calculation for unfunded lending commitments uses the lifetime loss rates of the on-balance sheet commitment. Recourse obligations for loans sold and letters of credit use the weighted loss rates for the applicable segment of the individual credit.

In the case of loans and securities, allowance for credit losses are contra-asset valuation accounts that are deducted from the amortized cost basis of these assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. In the case of unfunded credit commitments, the allowance for credit losses is a liability account that is reported as a component of Accrued expenses and other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company is committed to ~~maintaining~~maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level that is commensurate with the estimated inherent losses in the loan portfolio, including unfunded credit facilities. While the Company believes that the allowance for credit losses as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 was appropriate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio and in unfunded credit commitments based on the information available, future allowance levels may increase or decrease based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to, accounting standard and regulatory changes, loan growth, portfolio performance and general economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires numerous estimates and judgements. For a description of the policies, methodologies and judgments used to determine the allowance for credit losses, see Item 7. MD&A — Critical Accounting ~~Policies and~~ Estimates ofin the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K and Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements ofin the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K, and Note 67 — Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

The allowance for loan losses was ~~$560.4~~$545.7 million as of ~~September 30, 2021, a decrease~~March 31, 2022, an increase of ~~$59.6~~$4.1 million from ~~$620.0~~$541.6 million as of December 31, ~~2020, primaril~~2021, primarily~~y driven by a reduction in the allowance against the C&I loan portfolio. The change in the allowance reflects year-to-date improvement in the macroeconomic forecast, partially offset by~~ reflecting loan growth.

The Company considers multiple economic scenarios to develop the estimate of the allowance for ~~loans.~~loan losses. The scenarios may consist of a base forecast representing management's view of the most likely outcome, and downside or upside scenarios reflecting possible worsening or improving economic conditions. ~~The~~As of March 31, 2022, the Company assigned a slightly higher weighting to its downside scenario, compared with the weighting placed as of December 31, 2021 in order to reflect the potential for higher inflation, supply chain constraints and the possibility of additional COVID-19 variants. Macroeconomic assumptions underlying the base forecast ~~assumed an end to the worst~~include: (1) annual Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth of ~~the COVID-19 pandemic and continuing improvement in the economic outlook, with annual GDP growth estimated at 6.0% and 4.3%~~3.5% for ~~2021 and 2022, respectively, and the projected~~2022; (2) 3.5% unemployment rate ~~declining to 3.4%~~ by the end of ~~2022.~~2022; and (3) rising interest rates. The downside scenario assumed a pullback in the expected economic recovery due to rising concerns with COVID-19 variants and a rise in unemployment. The upside scenario assumed a more optimistic view for the economic recovery, including higher GDP growth ~~through next year~~at 0.9% in 2022 and ~~a faster return~~an unemployment rate that was expected to ~~full employment.~~rise from 3.9% to 7.2% by the end of 2022.

The year-over-year decreases for both periods werewas primarily due to a decrease in ~~C&I charge-offs, partially offset by higher~~ CRE charge-offs. ~~The recognition of certain loan charge-offs could be delayed due to payment deferral activities instituted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.~~

Liquidity Risk Management

Liquidity

Liquidity is a financial institution’s capacity to meet its deposit and obligations to other counterparties as they come due, or to obtain adequate funding at a reasonable cost to meet those obligations. The objective of liquidity management is to manage the potential mismatch of asset and liability cash flows. Maintaining an adequate level of liquidity depends on the institution’s ability to efficiently meet both expected and unexpected cash flows, and collateral needs without adversely affecting daily operations or the financial condition of the institution. To achieve this objective, the Company analyzes its liquidity risk, maintains readily available liquid assets, and utilizes diverse funding sources including its stable core deposit base.

The Board of Directors’ Risk Oversight Committee has primary oversight responsibility over liquidity risk management. At the management level, the Company’s Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) establishes the liquidity guidelines that govern the day-to-day active management of the Company’s liquidity position by requiring sufficient asset-based liquidity to cover potential funding requirements and avoid over-dependence on volatile, less reliable funding markets. These guidelines are established and monitored for both the Bank and for East West on a stand-alone basis to ensure that the Company can serve as a source of ~~financial~~ strength for its subsidiaries. The ALCO regularly monitors the Company’s liquidity status and related management processes, providing regular reports to the Board of Directors. The ~~Company believes its~~Company’s liquidity management practices have been effective under normal operating and stressed market conditions.

Liquidity Risk — Liquidity Sources. The Company’s primary source of funding is from deposits generated by its banking business, which are relatively stable and low-cost. Total deposits amounted to ~~$53.36~~$54.94 billion as of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, compared with ~~$44.86~~$53.35 billion as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The Company’s loan-to-deposit ratio was ~~76%~~79% as of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, compared with ~~86%~~78% as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

In addition to deposits, the Company has access to various sources of wholesale ~~funding, as well as~~financing, including borrowing capacity with the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRBSF”), unsecured federal funds lines of credit with various correspondent banks, and several master repurchase agreements with major brokerage companies to sustain an adequate liquid asset portfolio, meet daily cash demands and allow management flexibility to execute its business strategy. Economic conditions and the stability of capital markets impact the Company’s access to and the cost of wholesale financing. The Company’s access to capital markets is also affected by the ratings received from various credit rating agencies. ~~See~~ ~~Item 2— MD&A — Balance Sheet Analysis — Deposits and Other Sources of Funds~~ ~~in this Form 10-Q for further detail related to the Company’s funding sources.~~

The Company maintains liquidity in the form of cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing deposits with banks, short-term resale agreements and unencumbered high-quality and liquid AFS debt securities. The following table presents the Company’s liquid assets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Unencumbered liquid assets totaled $16.52 billion as of September 30, 2021, compared with $10.68 billion as of December 31, 2020. AFS debt securities, included as part of liquidity sources, consist of high quality and liquid securities with moderate durations to minimize overall interest rate and liquidity risks. The Company believes these AFS debt securities provide quick sources of liquidity to obtain financing, regardless of market conditions, through sale or pledging.

As a means to generate incremental liquidity, the Company maintains available borrowing capacity under secured borrowing lines with the FHLB and FRBSF, unsecured federal funds lines of credit with various correspondent banks, and several master repurchase agreements with major brokerage companies. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company had available borrowing capacity of ~~$22.40~~$25.91 billion, including ~~$9.67~~$12.13 billion with the FHLB and ~~$3.88~~$4.60 billion with the FRBSF. The Company believes that its liquidity sources are sufficient to meet all reasonably foreseeable short-term needs. Unencumbered loans and/or debt securities were pledged to the FHLB and the FRBSF discount window as collateral. The Company has established operational procedures to enable borrowing against these assets, including regular monitoring of the total pool of loans and debt securities eligible as collateral. Eligibility of collateral is defined in guidelines from the FHLB and FRBSF and is subject to change at their discretion. The Bank’s unsecured federal funds lines of credit with correspondent banks, subject to availability, totaled ~~$1.01~~$1.04 billion as of ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. Estimated borrowing capacity from unpledged debt securities totaled $8.14 billion as of March 31, 2022. See Item 2— MD&A — Balance Sheet Analysis — Deposits and Other Sources of Funding in this Form 10-Q for further detail related to the Company’s funding sources.

The Company maintains a certain level of liquid assets in the form of cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing deposits with banks, short-term resale agreements and unencumbered high-quality and liquid AFS debt securities.

Unencumbered liquid assets totaled $12.92 billion as of March 31, 2022, compared with $15.63 billion as of December 31, 2021. AFS debt securities, ~~totaled $7.84~~included as part of liquidity sources, consist of high quality and liquid securities with moderate durations to minimize overall interest rate and liquidity risks. The Company believes these AFS debt securities provide quick sources of liquidity to obtain financing, regardless of market conditions, through sale or pledging. The decrease in liquid assets was primarily related to the transfer of $3.01 billion as of ~~September 30, 2021.~~AFS debt securities to HTM debt securities.

Management believes that the Company’s excess cash, unencumbered AFS debt securities, borrowing capacity and access to sufficient sources of capital are adequate to meet its short- and long-term liquidity needs in the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company may use debt and equity issuances when costs are deemed attractive, should longer term needs arise.

Liquidity Risk — Cash Requirements. In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company enters into contractual obligations that require future cash payments, including funding for customer deposit withdrawals, repayments for short- and long-term borrowings, leases obligations and other cash commitments. The Company also has off-balance sheet arrangements which represent transactions that are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements include (i) commitments to extend credit, such as loan commitments, commercial letters of credit for foreign and domestic trade, standby letters of credit (“SBLCs”), and financial guarantees, to meet financing needs of its customers, (ii) future interest obligations related to customer deposits and the Company’s borrowings, and (iii) transactions with unconsolidated entities that provide financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with the Company. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future funding requirements. Information about the Company’s loan commitments, commercial letters of credit and SBLCs is provided in Note 10 — Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. The Company’s liquidity sources have been, and are expected to be, sufficient to meet all such cash requirements.

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows summarizes the Company’s sources and uses of cash by type of activities in the first quarters of 2022 and 2021. Excess cash generated by operating and investing activities may be used to repay outstanding debt or invest in liquid assets.

Liquidity Risk — Liquidity for East West. In addition to bank level liquidity management, the Company manages liquidity at the parent company level for various operating needs including payment of dividends, repurchases of common stock, principal and interest payments on its borrowings, acquisitions and additional investments in its subsidiaries. East West’s primary source of liquidity is from cash dividends distributed by its subsidiary, East West Bank. The Bank is subject to various statutory and regulatory restrictions on its ability to pay dividends as discussed in Item 1. Business — Supervision and Regulation — Dividends and Other Transfers of Funds of the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K. East West held ~~$344.4~~$324.0 million and ~~$439.1~~$345.0 million in cash and cash equivalents as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. ~~As of September 30, 2021, management~~Management believes that East West has sufficient cash and cash equivalents to ~~service its operating needs.~~meet the projected cash obligations for the current year.

Liquidity Risk — Liquidity Stress Testing. ~~Liquidity~~The Company utilizes liquidity stress ~~testing is performed~~analysis to determine the appropriate amounts of liquidity to maintain at the Company, ~~level, as well as at the~~ foreign subsidiary and foreign branch ~~levels. Stress tests~~levels needed to meet contractual and ~~scenario analyses are intended to quantify the potential impact~~contingent cash outflows under a range of ~~a liquidity event on the financial and liquidity position of the entity.~~scenarios. Scenario analyses include assumptions about significant changes in key funding sources, market triggers, ~~and~~ potential uses of funding and economic conditions in certain countries. In addition, Company specific events are incorporated into the stress testing. Liquidity stress tests are conducted to ascertain potential mismatches between liquidity sources and uses over a variety of time horizons, both immediate and longer term, and over a variety of stressed conditions. Given the range of potential stresses, the Company maintains contingency funding plans on a consolidated basis and for individual entities.

As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company was not aware of any material commitments for capital expenditures in the foreseeable future and believes it has adequate liquidity resources to conduct operations and meet other needs in the ordinary course of business. Given the uncertainty and the rapidly changing market and economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will continue to actively evaluate the nature and extent of the impact on its business and financial position. For more information ofon how the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our liquidity, see Item ~~1A.~~ 1A. Risk Factors — Risks Related to the COVID-19 Pandemicof the Company’s ~~2020~~2021 Form 10-K.

The following table presents a summary of the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the periods indicated. While this information may be helpful to highlight business strategies and certain macroeconomic trends, the cash flow analysis may not be as relevant when analyzing changes in the Company’s net earnings and assets. The Company believes that in addition to this traditional cash flow analysis, the discussion related to liquidity in ~~Item 2. MD&A — Risk Management — Liquidity Risk Management — Liquidity~~ ~~in this Form 10-Q may provide a useful context in evaluating the Company’s liquidity position and related activity.~~

Market Risk Management

Market risk is the risk that the Company’s financial condition may change resulting from adverse movements in market rates or prices including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, interest rate contracts, investment securities prices, credit spreads and related risk resulting from mismatches in rate sensitive assets and liabilities. In the event of market stress, the risk could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

The Board’s Risk Oversight Committee has primary oversight responsibility over market risk management. At the management level, the ALCO establishes and monitors compliance with the policies and risk limits pertaining to market risk management activities. Corporate Treasury supports the ALCO in measuring, monitoring and managing interest rate risk as well as all other market risks.

~~100~~

Interest Rate Risk Management

Interest rate risk results primarily from the Company’s traditional banking activities of gathering deposits and extending loans, which are the primary areas of market risk for the Company. Economic and financial conditions, movements in interest rates, and consumer preferences impact the level of noninterest-bearing funding sources at the Company, as well as affect the difference between the interest the Company earns on interest-earning assets and pays on interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, changes in interest rates can influence the rate of principal prepayments on loans and the speed of deposit withdrawals. Due to the pricing term mismatches and the embedded options inherent in certain products, changes in market interest rates not only affect expected near-term earnings, but also the economic value of these interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Other market risks include foreign currency exchange risk and equity price risk. These risks are not considered significant to the Company and no separate quantitative information concerning these risks is presented herein.

With oversight by the Company’s Board of Directors, the ALCO coordinates the overall management of the Company’s interest rate risk. The ALCO meets regularly and is responsible for reviewing the Company’s open market positions and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to market risk. Management of interest rate risk is carried out primarily through strategies involving the Company’s debt securities portfolio, loan portfolio, available funding channels and capital market activities. In addition, the Company’s policies permit the use of derivative instruments to assist in managing interest rate risk.

The interest rate risk exposure is measured and monitored through various risk management tools, which include a simulation model that performs interest rate sensitivity analyses under multiple interest rate scenarios. The model incorporates the Company’s cash instruments, loans, debt securities, resale agreements, deposits, borrowings and repurchase agreements, as well as financial instruments from the Company’s foreign operations. The Company uses both a static balance sheet and a forward growth balance sheet to perform these analyses. The simulated interest rate scenarios include a non-parallel shift in the yield curve ~~(“rate shock”)~~ and a gradual non-parallel shift in the yield curve (“rate ramp”). over a static balance sheet. In addition, the Company also performs simulations using alternative interest rate scenarios, including various permutations of the yield curve flattening, steepening or inverting. Results of these various simulations are used to formulate and gauge strategies to achieve a desired risk profile within the Company’s capital and liquidity guidelines.

The net interest income simulation model is based on the actual maturity and repricing characteristics of the Company’s interest-rate sensitive assets, liabilities and related derivative contracts. It also incorporates various assumptions, which management believes to be reasonable but may have a significant impact on results. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the timing and magnitude of changes in interest rates, the yield curve evolution and shape, the correlation between various interest rate indices, financial instrument future repricing characteristics and spread relative to benchmark rates, and the effect of interest rate floors and caps. The modeled results are highly sensitive to deposit decay and deposit beta assumptions, which are derived from a regression analysis of the Company’s historical deposit data. The Company used full betas with each incremental rate increase in the rate ramp scenarios, and did not assume lags in repricing. Deposit beta commonly refers to the correlation of the changes in interest rates paid on deposits to changes in benchmark interest rates. The model is also sensitive to the loan and investment prepayment assumptions that are based on an independent model and the Company’s historical prepayment data, which consider anticipated prepayments under different interest rate environments.

Simulation results are highly dependent on input assumptions. To the extent actual behavior is different from the assumptions in the models, there could be a material change in interest rate sensitivity. The assumptions applied in the model are documented and supported for reasonableness, and periodically back-tested to assess their effectiveness. The Company makes appropriate calibrations to the model as needed, continually refining the model, methodology and results. Changes to key model assumptions are reviewed by the ALCO. Scenario results do not reflect strategies that management could employ to limit the impact of changing interest rate expectations.

Twelve-Month Net Interest Income Simulation

Net interest income simulation modeling looks at interest rate risk through earnings. It projects the changes in interest rate sensitive asset and liability cash flows, expressed in terms of net interest income, over a specified time horizon for defined interest rates scenarios. Net interest income simulations generate insight into the impact of market rates changes on earnings and guide risk management decisions. The Company assesses interest rate risk by comparing net interest income using different interest rate scenarios.

The federal funds target rate range was 0.25% as of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. After lowering the range to between 0.00% and 0.25% in March 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) pledged to maintain monetary support for the economy. In the September 2021 meeting, the FOMC held the federal funds target rate at between 0.00% and 0.25%. The FOMC statement repeated language that inflation was transitory, but also acknowledged the inflation was elevated. In November 2021 meeting, the FOMC voted to continue to hold the federal funds target rate at between 0.00% and 0.25% and to begin tapering its asset purchases in mid-November. The Bank anticipates the first rate hike will take place in 2022.

~~The~~ following table presents the Company’s net interest income sensitivity related to an instantaneous and sustained non-parallel shift in market interest rates of 100 and 200 bps in upward direction as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020.~~2021, based on a static balance sheet as of the date of the analysis.

(1)The percentage change represents net interest income over 12 months in a stable interest rate environment versus net interest income in the various rate scenarios.

The Company’s net interest income profile as of September 30, 2021 reflects an asset sensitive position. Net interest income is expected to increase if interest rates rise and to decrease if interest rates decline. The potential impact of rate decreases is partially reduced due to the current low rate environment with the federal funds rate floored and the federal funds rate range between 0.00% and 0.25%. The Company is naturally asset sensitive due to the large share of variable rate loans in its loan portfolio, which are primarily linked to Prime and LIBOR indices. The Company’s interest income is vulnerable to changes in short-term interest rates. However, given the current low level of interest rates, the potential for further rate decreases is limited, which reduces the Bank’s exposure to risks associated with falling rates. The Company’s deposit portfolio is primarily comprised of non-maturity deposits, which are not directly tied to short-term interest rate indices, but are, nevertheless, sensitive to changes in short-term interest rates.

The Company’s estimated twelve-month net interest income sensitivity as of September 30, 2021 was slightly higher as compared with the sensitivity as of December 31, 2020 under both higher rate scenarios. This reflects both an increased rate sensitivity in the Company’s assets and an increase in noninterest bearing deposits.

While an instantaneous and sustained non-parallel shift in market interest rates was used in the simulation model described in the preceding paragraphs, the Company believes that any shift in interest rates would likely be more gradual and would therefore have a more modest ~~impact.~~impact, and non-parallel gradual rate shift scenarios may give a more meaningful estimate of the Company’s underlying interest rate risk.

Economic Value of Equity at Risk

Economic value of equity (“EVE”) is a cash flow calculation that takes the present value of all asset cash flows and subtracts the present value of all liability cash flows. This calculation is used for asset/liability management and measures changes in the economic value of the bank. The fair market values of a bank's assets and liabilities are directly linked to interest rates. The economic value approach provides a comparatively broader scope than the net income volatility approach since it captures all anticipated cash flows.

EVE simulation reflects the effect of interest rate shifts on the value of the Company and is used to assess the degree of interest rate risk exposure. In contrast to the earnings perspective, the economic perspective identifies risks arising from repricing or maturity gaps over the life of the balance sheet. Changes in economic value indicate anticipated changes in the value of the Bank’s future cash flows. Thus, the economic perspective can provide a leading indicator of the Bank’s future earnings and capital values. The economic value method also reflects sensitivity across the full maturity spectrum of the Bank’s assets and liabilities.

The following table presents the Company’s EVE sensitivity related to an instantaneous and sustained non-parallel shift in market interest rates of 100 and 200 bps in an upward direction as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:

(1)The percentage change represents net portfolio value of the Company in a stable interest rate environment versus net portfolio value in the various rate scenarios.

The Company’s EVE sensitivity for the upward interest rate scenarios decreased as of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, compared with the results as of December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The changes in EVE sensitivity during this period were primarily due to changes in ~~the~~ level and shape of the yield curve, ~~and changes in balance sheet mix.~~as well as the increased base EVE as of March 31, 2022.

The Company’s EVE profile as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 reflects an asset sensitive EVE position under the higher interest rate scenarios. Given the uncertainty of the magnitude, timing and direction of future interest rate movements, and the shape of the yield curve, actual results may vary from those predicted by the Company’s model.

Derivatives

It is the Company’s policy not to speculate on the future direction of interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. However, the Company ~~will~~ periodically ~~enter~~enters into derivative transactions in order to reduce its exposure to market risks, primarily interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The Company believes that these derivative transactions, when properly structured and managed, may provide a hedge against inherent risk in certain assets and liabilities and against risk in specific transactions. Hedging transactions may be implemented using a variety of derivative instruments such as swaps, forwards and options. Prior to entering into any hedging activities, the Company analyzes the costs and benefits of the hedge in comparison to alternative strategies. In addition, the Company enters into derivative transactions in order to assist customers with their risk management objectives, such as managing exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currencies and commodity prices. To economically hedge against the derivative contracts entered ~~into~~ with the Company’s customers, the Company enters into mirrored derivative contracts with third-party financial institutions. The exposures from derivative transactions are collateralized by cash and/or eligible securities based on limits as set forth in the respective agreements entered between the Company and counterparty financial institutions.

The Company is subject to credit risk associated with the counterparties to the derivative contracts. This counterparty credit risk is a multi-dimensional form of risk, affected by both the exposure and credit quality of the counterparty, both of which are sensitive to market-induced changes. The Company’s Credit Risk Management Committee provides oversight of credit risks and the Company has guidelines in place to manage counterparty concentration, tenor limits and collateral. The Company manages the credit risk of its derivative positions by diversifying its positions among various counterparties, by entering ~~into~~ legally enforceable master netting arrangements and by requiring collateral arrangements, where possible. The Company may also transfer counterparty credit risk-related to interest rate swaps to institutional third parties through the use of credit risk participation agreements. Certain derivative contracts are required to be centrally cleared through clearinghouses to further mitigate counterparty credit risk. The Company incorporates credit value adjustments and other market standard methodologies to appropriately reflect its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements of its derivatives.

The following table summarizes certain information about ~~the~~ derivative financial instruments utilized by the Company in its management of interest rate risk and foreign currency risk as of ~~September 30, 2021~~March 31, 2022 and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments — Interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts are utilized in ~~our~~the Company’s asset and liability management activities and serve as an efficient tool to manage the Company’s interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. ~~We use~~The Company uses derivatives to hedge the risk of variable cash flows ~~that the Company is exposed to from~~in its variable interest rate borrowings, ~~including~~which includes repurchase agreements and FHLB ~~advances.~~advances, as well as a portion of its variable interest rate CRE loans. The Company also uses derivatives to hedge the risk of changes in the USD equivalent value of a designated monetary amount of the Company’s net investment in East West Bank (China) Limited. For both cash flow and net investment hedges, the change in the fair value of the hedging instruments is recognized in ~~Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income,~~AOCI, net of tax, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The fluctuation in foreign currency translation of the hedged exposure is expected to be offset by changes in the fair value of the ~~forwards.~~forward contracts. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the outstanding foreign currency forwards effectively hedged approximately 50% of the net Chinese Renminbi exposure infrom East West Bank (China) Limited.

Changes to the composition of the Company’s derivatives designated as hedging instruments during 2022 reflect actions taken for interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate risk management. The ~~decisions to reposition our~~Company repositions its derivatives portfolio ~~are~~ based on the current assessment of economic and financial conditions, including the interest rate and foreign currency environments, balance sheet composition and trends, and the relative mix of ~~our~~its cash and derivative positions.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments — The Company enters into interest rate, foreign exchange and energy commodity contracts to support the business needs of its customers. When derivative transactions are executed with its customers, the derivative contracts are offset by paired trades with third-party financial institutions. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are either exchange-traded, centrally cleared through a clearinghouse or over-the-counter.

The Company offers various interest rate derivative contracts to its customers. For the interest rate contracts entered into with its customers, the Company managed its interest rate risk by entering into offsetting interest rate contracts with third-party financial institutions ~~including with~~and central clearing organizations. Certain derivative contracts entered with central clearing organizations are settled-to-market daily to the extent the central clearing organizations’ rulebooks legally characterize the variation margin as settlement. Derivative contracts allow borrowers to lock in attractive intermediate and long-term fixed rate financing while not increasing the interest rate risk to the Company. These transactions are not linked to ~~any~~ specific Company assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, or to forecasted transactions in a hedging relationship, and are therefore classified as economic hedges. The contracts are marked-to-market at each reporting period. The changes in fair values of the derivative contracts traded with third-party financial institutions are expected to be largely comparable to the changes in fair values of the derivative transactions executed with customers throughout the terms of these contracts, except for the credit valuation adjustment component. The Company records credit valuation adjustments on derivatives to properly reflect the variances of credit worthiness between the Company and the counterparties, considering the effects of enforceable master netting agreements and collateral arrangements.

The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts with its customers, consisting of forward, spot, swap and option contracts to accommodate the business needs of its customers. For the foreign exchange contracts entered into with its customers, the Company managed its foreign exchange and credit exposures by entering into offsetting foreign exchange contracts with third-party financial institutions and/or entering into bilateral collateral and master netting agreements with customer counterparties. The changes in the fair values entered with third-party financial institutions are expected to be largely comparable to the changes in fair values of the foreign exchange transactions executed with the customers throughout the terms of these contracts. As of ~~September 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, the Company anticipates performance by all counterparties and has not experienced nonperformance by any of its counterparties, and therefore did not incur any related losses. The Company also utilizes foreign exchange contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to mitigate the economic effect of fluctuations in certain foreign currency on-balance sheet ~~items,~~assets and liabilities, primarily foreign currency denominated deposits offered to its customers. The Company’s policies permit taking proprietary currency positions within approved limits, in compliance with exemptions to proprietary trading restrictions provided under Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Volcker Rule. The Company does not speculate in the foreign exchange markets, and actively manages its foreign exchange exposures within prescribed risk limits and defined controls.

The Company enters into energy commodity contracts with its customers to allow them to hedge against the risk of ~~fluctuation in~~ energy commodity ~~prices.~~price fluctuations. To economically hedge against the risk of fluctuation in commodity prices in the products offered to its customers, the Company enters into offsetting commodity contracts with third-party financial institutions ~~including with~~and central clearing organizations. Certain derivative contracts entered into with central clearing organizations are settled-to-market daily, to the extent the central clearing organizations’ rulebooks legally characterize the variation margin as settlement. The changes in fair values of the energy commodity contracts traded with third-party financial institutions are expected to be largely comparable to the changes in fair values of the energy commodity transactions executed with customers throughout the terms of these contracts.

~~Impact of Inflation~~

The primary impact of inflation on our operations is reflected in increased operating costs and in the effect that inflation may have on both short- and long-term interest rates. Since almost all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than inflation. While inflation expectations do affect interest rates, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction, or to the same extent, as the prices of goods and services.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with, or as an alternative to U.S. GAAP. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A non-GAAP financial measure may also be a financial metric that is not required by U.S. GAAP or other applicable requirements. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance, and allow comparability to prior periods. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes.
