BBVA COMPASSUSA BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1) Basis of Presentation
General
Effective June 10, 2019, the Company amended its Certificate of Formation to change its legal name from BBVA Compass Bancshares, Inc. to BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and the methods of applying those policies that materially affect the consolidated financial statements conform with U.S. GAAP and with general financial services industry practices. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BBVA CompassUSA Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2017.2019. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2018.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to determine if either recognition or disclosure of significant events or transactions is required.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, the most significant of which relate to the allowance for loan losses, goodwill impairment, fair value measurements and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Stock Compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The FASB issued this ASU to improve the accounting for share-based payment transactions as part of its simplification initiative. The areas for simplification in this ASU involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU were effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014, the FASB released ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of this codified guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this ASU were originally effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Subsequently, the FASB issued a one-year deferral for implementation, which results in the new guidance being effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Because the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities accounted for under other U.S. GAAP, the Company does not expect the new revenue recognition guidance to have a material impact on the elements of its statement of income most closely associated with financial instruments, including securities gains, interest income and interest expense. The Company plans to adopt this standard utilizing a modified retrospective transition method in the first quarter of 2018 and will be subject to expanded disclosure requirements upon adoption. The Company's implementation efforts include the identification of

revenue within the scope of the guidance, as well as the evaluation of revenue contracts. While the Company has not yet identified any material changes in the timing of revenue recognition, the Company's review is ongoing and continues to evaluate the presentation of certain contract costs (whether presented gross or offset against noninterest income).
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in this ASU revise an entity's accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The ASU also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted for the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)which supersedes ASC Topic 840, Leases. The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
Credit Losses
In June 2016,Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,2018-01 in January 2018 which introducesprovides a practical expedient for land easements and issued ASU 2018-11 in July 2018 which includes an option to recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption instead of applying the guidance to prior comparative periods. This ASU, as amended, requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and associated liabilities that arise from leases, with the exception of short-term leases. Subsequent accounting for leases varies depending on whether the lease is classified as an operating lease or a finance lease. This ASU, as amended, does not make significant changes to lessor accounting. There are several new guidancequalitative and quantitative disclosures required. Upon transition, lessees and lessors have the option to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective transition approach or to apply the modified retrospective approach with an additional, optional transition method that initially applies this ASU as of the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.
The Company adopted this ASU, as amended, on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method, which allowed for a modified retrospective method of adoption with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings without restating comparable periods. The Company also elected the transition relief package of practical expedients for which there is no requirement to reassess existence of leases, their classification, and initial direct costs as well as an exemption for short term leases with a term of less than one year. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of right-of-use assets. 

At January 1, 2019, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of $290 million and lease liabilities of $332 million. The right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, recorded upon adoption, were primarily based on the present value of unpaid future minimum lease payments as of January 1, 2019. Those amounts were impacted by assumptions related to renewals and/or extensions of existing lease contracts and the interest rate used to discount those future lease obligations. Additionally, the Company recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $3.5 million at adoption to increase the beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 for the accounting for credit lossesremaining deferred gains on instruments within its scope. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected lossessale-leaseback transactions which occurred prior to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for AFS debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application of this ASU is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
Statement of Cash Flows
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides guidance on eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application of this ASU is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Statements of Cash Flows of the Company.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash. The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application of this ASU is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the Statement of Cash Flows of the Company.
Goodwill
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles -Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the manner in which an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test.  Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should (1) perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying

amount, and (2) recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, with the understanding that the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.  Additionally, ASU No. 2017-04 removes the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails such qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test.adoption. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.  The ASU should be applied using a prospective method.  The Company is currently assessing this pronouncement and the impact of adoption.
Retirement Benefits
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The amendments in this ASU require that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost. The amendments also provide explicit guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and allow only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted.  The ASU should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net benefit cost.  The adoption of this standard iswill not expected to have a material impact on the financial condition ortiming of expense recognition on the Company's results of operations ofoperations.

Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in this ASU reduce the amortization period for certain callable debt securities carried at a premium and require the premium to be amortized over a period not to exceed the earliest call date. These amendments do not apply to securities carried at a discount. ThisThe Company adopted this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted.  The ASU should be applied using a modified retrospective method.on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a materialhad no impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
Derivatives and Hedging
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this ASU better align an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, Inclusion of the SOFR OIS Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The amendments in this ASU permit the OIS rate based on SOFR as a US benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815.
The Company adopted these ASUs on January 1, 2019. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The adoption resulted in an immaterial cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. For additional information on the Company’s derivative and hedging activities, see Note 5, Derivatives and Hedging.
Comprehensive Income
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this ASU allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 and reclassified approximately $35.4 million from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments within its scope. The new approach changes the impairment model for most financial assets, and will require the use of an “expected credit loss” model for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments. This model applies to receivables, loans, debt securities, and off-balance sheet credit exposures. This model requires entities to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance that represents the portion of the amortized cost basis that the entity does not expect to collect. This allowance is deducted from the financial asset’s amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected. The new expected credit loss model will also apply to purchased financial assets with credit deterioration, superseding current accounting guidance for such assets. The amended guidance also amends the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities, requiring entities to determine whether all or a portion of the unrealized loss on such securities is a credit loss, and also eliminating the option for management to consider the length of time a security

has been in an unrealized loss position as a factor in concluding whether or not a credit loss exists. The amended model states that an entity will recognize an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities as a contra account to the amortized cost basis, instead of a direct reduction of the amortized cost basis of the investment, as under current guidance. As a result, entities will recognize improvements to estimated credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities immediately in earnings as opposed to in interest income over time. There are also additional disclosure requirements included in this guidance. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019.  Early application of this ASU is permitted.  The Company intends to adopt this standard on January 1, 2020. Adoption will be applied on a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments recognized in retained earnings at the date of initial application. However, certain provisions of the guidance are only required to be applied on a prospective basis.
The Company’s implementation process includes data sourcing and validation, loss model development, development of governance processes, development of a qualitative framework, documentation and governance surrounding economic forecast for credit loss purposes, evaluation of technical accounting topics, updates to allowance policies and methodology documentation, development of reporting processes and related internal controls, and overall operational readiness for adoption of the amended guidance, which will continue throughout 2019, including parallel runs alongside the Company’s current allowance process. Parallel runs that have been more focused on the operational process have been performed in the second and third quarters of 2019. Parallel runs will be enhanced throughout the remainder of 2019 to include the qualitative framework, supporting analytics, end-to-end governance, internal controls and disclosures.
The Company provides updates to senior management and the Audit Committee. These communications provide an update on the status of the implementation project plan and any identified risks.
The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. It currently expects the allowance for loan losses to increase upon adoption given that the allowance will be required to cover the expected life of the loan portfolio upon adoption. The extent of this impact is still being evaluated and will depend on economic conditions, economic forecasts and the composition and credit quality of the Company's loan portfolio at the time of adoption.
The amended guidance in this ASU eliminates the current accounting model for purchased-credit-impaired loans, but requires an allowance to be recognized for purchased-credit-deteriorated assets (those that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination). The Company will have no impact from purchased-credit-deteriorated assets upon adoption. Upon adoption, the Company does not expect to record a material allowance with respect to HTM and AFS securities as the portfolios consist primarily of agency-backed securities that inherently have minimal nonpayment risk.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19 and in April and May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05, respectively, which made minor clarifications to the guidance in ASU 2016-13. The FASB has also established a Transition Resource Group for Credit Losses to evaluate implementation issues arising from the amended guidance and make recommendations to the FASB on which issues may warrant the issuance of additional clarifying guidance. The Company continues to monitor the issues discussed by the Transition Resource Group and the recommended amendments proposed to the FASB as part of its implementation analysis.
Goodwill
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles -Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the manner in which an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test.  Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity should (1) perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, and (2) recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, with the understanding that the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.  Additionally, ASU No. 2017-04 removes the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails such qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test.  This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period.  The ASU should be applied using a prospective method.  Based on the Company’s most recent qualitative goodwill impairment assessment performed as of October 31, 2018, there were no reporting units for which it was more-likely-than-not that

the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeded its respective fair value; therefore, this ASU would not currently have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or related disclosures. However, if upon adoption, which is expected to occur on January 1, 2020, the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its respective fair value, the Company would be required to recognize an impairment charge for the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
Fair Value Measurements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing this pronouncement and the impact that the adoption of adoption.this standard will have on its fair value disclosures.

Internal-Use Software
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. The amendments in this ASU align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

As indicated in the previous tables, at September 30, 2017,2019, the Company held certain investmentdebt securities in unrealized loss positions. The Company does not intend to sell these securities nor is it more-likely-than-not-that it will be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery.
The Company regularly evaluates each available for sale and held to maturity debt security in a loss position for OTTI. In its evaluation, the Company considers such factors as the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below cost, the financial condition of the issuer, the Company’s intent to hold the security to an expected recovery in market value and whether it is more likely than not thatmore-likely-than-not-that the Company will have to sell the security before its fair value recovers. Activity related to the credit loss component of the OTTI is recognized in earnings. The portion of OTTI related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.
Management does not believe that any individual unrealized loss in the Company’s investmentdebt securities available for sale or held to maturity portfolios, presented in the preceding tables, represents an OTTI at either September 30, 20172019 or December 31, 20162018, other than those noted below.
The following table discloses activity related to credit losses for debt securities where a portion of the OTTI was recognized in other comprehensive income.

Detailed information on the Company's allowance for loan losses methodology and the Company's impaired loan policy are included in the Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2018.

The Company monitors the credit quality of its commercial portfolio using an internal dual risk rating, which considers both the obligor and the facility. The obligor risk ratings are defined by ranges of default probabilities of the borrowers, through internally assigned letter grades (AAA through D2) and the facility risk ratings are defined by ranges of the loss given default. The combination of those two approaches results in the assessment of the likelihood of loss and it is mapped to the regulatory classifications. The Company assigns internal risk ratings at loan origination and at regular intervals subsequent to origination. Loan review intervals are dependent on the size and risk grade of the loan, and are generally conducted at least annually. Additional reviews are conducted when information affecting the loan’s risk grade becomes available. The general characteristics of the risk grades are as follows:
The Company’s internally assigned letter grades “AAA” through “B-” correspond to the regulatory classification “Pass.” These loans do not have any identified potential or well-defined weaknesses and have a high likelihood of orderly repayment. Exceptions exist when either the facility is fully secured by a CD and held at the Company or the facility is secured by properly margined and controlled marketable securities.
Internally assigned letter grades “CCC+” through “CCC” correspond to the regulatory classification “Special Mention.” Loans within this classification have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Internally assigned letter grades “CCC-” through “D1” correspond to the regulatory classification “Substandard.” A loan classified as substandard is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the loan. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
The internally assigned letter grade “D2” corresponds to the regulatory classification “Doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable or improbable.
The Company considers payment history as the best indicator of credit quality for the consumer portfolio. Nonperforming loans in the tables below include loans classified as nonaccrual, loans 90 days or more past due and loans modified in a TDR 90 days or more past due.

The following tables, which exclude loans held for sale, and covered loans, illustrate the credit quality indicators associated with the Company’s loans, by loan class.

It is the Company’s policy to classify TDRs that are not accruing interest as nonaccrual loans. It is also the Company’s policy to classify TDR past due loans that are accruing interest as TDRs and not according to their past due status. The tables above reflect this policy.
Modifications to borrowers' loan agreements are considered TDRs if a concession is granted for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties that otherwise would not be considered. Within each of the Company’s loan classes, TDRs typically involve modification of the loan interest rate to a below market rate or an extension or deferment of the loan. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, $3.32019, $7.8 million of TDR

modifications included an interest rate concession and $102.3$25.0 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications

to the loan’s structure. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, $1.22018, $1.9 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $36.5$106.5 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications to the loan’s structure. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, $5.22019, $17.3 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $212.5$57.8 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications to the loan’s structure. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, $4.22018, $25.3 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $49.8$113.0 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications to the loan’s structure.
The following tables present an analysis of the types of loans that were restructured and classified as TDRs, excluding loans classified as held for sale.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses is largely driven by updated risk ratings assigned to commercial loans, updated borrower credit scores on consumer loans, and borrower delinquency history in both commercial and consumer portfolios.  As such, the provision for loan losses is impacted primarily by changes in borrower payment performance rather than TDR classification.  In addition, allAll commercial and consumer loans modified in a TDR are considered to be impaired, even if they maintain their accrual status.
At September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, there were $8.0$60.4 million and $12.6$54.2 million,, respectively, of commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose terms have been modified in a TDR.

(2)Recorded under the fair value method and included in other assets on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of MSRs is significantly affected by mortgage interest rates available in the marketplace, which influence mortgage loan prepayment speeds. In general, during periods of declining rates, the fair value of MSRs declines due to increasing prepayments attributable to increased mortgage-refinance activity. During periods of rising interest rates, the fair value of MSRs generally increases due to reduced refinance activity. The Company maintains a non-qualifying hedging strategy to manage a portion of the risk associated with changes in the fair value of the MSR portfolio.  This strategy includes the purchase of various trading securities.  The interest income, mark-to-market adjustments and gain or loss from sale activities associated with these securities are expected to economically hedge a portion of the change in the fair value of the MSR portfolio.
The following table is an analysis of the activity in the Company’s MSRs.

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. As indicated, changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of an adverse variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption; while in reality, changes in one assumption may result in changes to another, which may magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

(5) Derivatives and Hedging
The Company is a party to derivative instruments in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has made an accounting policy decision not to offset derivative fair value amounts under master netting agreements. See Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2018, for additional information on the Company's accounting policies related to derivative instruments and hedging activities. For derivatives cleared through central clearing houses the variation margin payments made are legally characterized as settlements of the derivatives. As a result, these variation margin payments are netted against the fair value of the respective derivative contracts in the balance sheet and related disclosures and there is no fair value presented for these contracts. The following table reflects the notional amount and fair value of derivative instruments included on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis.

Sheets.
(3)Changes in fair value are cash settled daily; therefore, there is no ending balance at any given reporting period.
(4)In January 2017, a clearing organization adopted a rule change that requires transactions to be considered settled-to-market each day. Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, to the extent the Company determined transactions with this clearing organization to be settled-to-market, the impact was a reduction to the derivative assets and liabilities as well as a corresponding decrease in cash collateral.

Hedging Derivatives
The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the risk of earnings fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility. For those financial instruments that qualify and are designated as a hedging relationship, either a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge, the effect of interest rate movements on the hedged assets or liabilities will generally be offset by change in fair value of the derivative instrument.
Fair Value Hedges
The Company enters into fair value hedging relationships using interest rate swaps to mitigate the Company’s exposure to losses in value as interest rates change. Derivative instruments that are used as part of the Company’s interest rate risk management strategy include interest rate swaps that relate to the pricing of specific balance sheet assets and liabilities. Interest rate swaps generally involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments between two parties, based on a common notional principal amount and maturity date.
Interest rate swaps are used to convert the Company’s fixed rate long-term debt to a variable rate. The critical terms of the interest rate swaps match the terms of the corresponding hedged items. All components of each derivative instrument’s gain or loss are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
The Company recognized no gains or losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, related to hedged firm commitments no longer qualifying as a fair value hedge. At September 30, 2017,2019, the fair value hedges had a weighted average expected remaining term of 4.23.6 years.
The following table reflects the change in fair value for interest rate contracts and the related hedged items as well as other gains and losses related to fair value hedges including gains and losses recognized because of hedge ineffectiveness.

Cash Flow Hedges
The Company enters into cash flow hedging relationships using interest rate swaps and options, such as caps and floors, to mitigate exposure to the variability in future cash flows or other forecasted transactions associated with its floating rate assets and liabilities. The Company uses interest rate swaps and options to hedge the repricing characteristics of its floating rate commercial loans and FHLB advances. The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates due to a portion of money transfer expense being denominated in foreign currency. All components of each derivative instrument’s gain or loss are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The initial assessment of expected hedge effectiveness is based on regression analysis. The ongoing periodic measures of hedge ineffectiveness are based on the expected change in cash flows of the hedged item caused by changes in the benchmark interest rate. There was $202 thousand and $229 thousand of cash flow hedging losses recognized because of hedge ineffectiveness for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and there waswere no material cash flow hedging gains or losses recognized because of hedge ineffectiveness for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. There were no gains or losses reclassified from other comprehensive income because of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges related to certain forecasted transactions that are probable of not occurring for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016.2018.

At September 30, 2017,2019, cash flow hedges not terminated had a net fair value of $(29.7)$(3) million and a weighted average life of 1.23.6 years. Net losses of $42.0$1.3 million are expected to be reclassified to income over the next 12 months as net settlements occur. The maximum length of time over which the entity is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 3.84.3 years.

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges include those that are entered into as either economic hedges to facilitate client needs or as part of the Company’s overall risk management strategy. Economic hedges are those that do not qualify to be treated as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or foreign currency hedge for accounting purposes, but are necessary to economically manage the risk exposure associated with the assets and liabilities of the Company. The Company holds a portfolio of futures, forwards and interest rate lock commitments as well as options related to its equity-linked

CDs to mitigate its economic risk exposure. The Company also enters into a variety of interest rate contracts commodity contracts and foreign exchange contracts in its trading activities. The primary purpose for using these derivative instrumentsSee Note 13, Derivatives and Hedging, in the trading account isNotes to facilitate customer transactions. The interest rate contract portfolio classified as trading is actively managed and hedged with similar products to limit market value riskthe December 31, 2018, Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the portfolio. Changes in the estimated fair value of contracts in the trading account along with the related interest settlements on the contracts are recorded in noninterest incomeCompany's derivatives not designated as corporate and correspondent investment sales in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company enters into forward contracts to economically hedge the change in fair value of certain residential mortgage loans held for sale due to changes in interest rates. Revaluation gains and losses from free-standing derivatives related to mortgage banking activity are recorded as a component of mortgage banking income in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Interest rate lock commitments issued on residential mortgage loan commitments to be held for resale are also considered free-standing derivative instruments, and the interest rate exposure on these commitments is economically hedged primarily with forward contracts. Revaluation gains and losses from free-standing derivatives related to mortgage banking activity are recorded as a component of mortgage banking income in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
In conjunction with the sale of its Visa, Inc. Class B shares in 2009, the Company entered into a total return swap in which the Company will make or receive payments based on subsequent changes in the conversion rate of the Class B shares into Class A shares. This total return swap is accounted for as a free-standing derivative.
The Company offers its customers equity-linked CDs that have a return linked to individual equities and equity indices. Under appropriate accounting guidance, a CD that pays interest based on changes in an equity index is a hybrid instrument that requires separation into a host contract (the CD) and an embedded derivative contract (written equity call option). The Company has entered into an offsetting derivative contract in order to economically hedge the exposure related to the issuance of equity-linked CDs. Both the embedded derivative and derivative contract entered into by the Company are classified as free-standing derivative instruments that are recorded at fair value with offsetting gains and

losses recognized within noninterest expense in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The Company also enters into foreign currency contracts to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates due to its funding of commercial loans in foreign currencies.hedges.
The net gains and losses recorded in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income from free-standing derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are summarized in the following table.

Derivatives Credit and Market Risks
By using derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to credit and market risk. If the counterparty fails to perform, credit risk is equal to the extent of the Company’s fair value gain in a derivative. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is positive, this generally indicates that the counterparty owes the Company and, therefore, creates a credit risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is negative, the Company owes the counterparty and, therefore, it has no credit risk. The Company minimizes the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties that are reviewed periodically. Credit losses are also mitigated through collateral agreements and other contract provisions with derivative counterparties.
Market risk is the adverse effect that a change in interest rates or implied volatility rates has on the value of a financial instrument. The Company manages the market risk associated with interest rate contracts by establishing and monitoring limits as to the types and degree of risk that may be undertaken.

The Company’s derivatives activities are monitored by its Asset/Liability Committee as part of its risk-management oversight. The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee is responsible for mandating various hedging strategies that are developed through its analysis of data from financial simulation models and other internal and industry sources. The resulting hedging strategies are then incorporated into the Company’s overall interest rate risk management and trading strategies.

Entering into interest rate swap agreements and options involves not only the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet the terms of the contracts but also interest rate risk associated with unmatched positions. At September 30, 2017,2019, interest rate swap agreements and options classified as trading were substantially matched. The Company had credit risk of $240$445 million related to derivative instruments in the trading account portfolio, which does not take into consideration master netting arrangements or the value of the collateral. There were no credit losses associated with derivative instruments classified as trading for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. There were $2.6 million2019 and $2.5 million of net credit losses associated with derivative instruments classified as trading for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.2018. At September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, there were no material nonperforming derivative positions classified as trading.
The Company’s derivative positions designated as hedging instruments are primarily executed in the over-the-counter market. These positions at September 30, 2017,2019, have credit risk of $25$30 million,, which does not take into consideration master netting arrangements or the value of the collateral.
There were no credit losses associated with derivative instruments classified as nontrading for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016.2018. At September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, there were no nonperforming derivative positions classified as nontrading.
As of September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, the Company had recorded the right to reclaim cash collateral of $108$110 million and $103$97 million,, respectively, within other assets on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and had recorded the obligation to return cash collateral of $55$40 million and $37$22 million,, respectively, within deposits on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contingent Features
Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require the Company’s debt maintain a certain credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. If the Company’s debt were to fall below this rating, it would be in violation of these provisions, and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could demand immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on September 30, 2017,2019, was $30$54 million for which the Company has collateral requirements of $29$52 million in the normal course of business. If the credit risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had been triggered on September 30, 2017,2019, the Company’s collateral requirements to its counterparties would require an additional increase of $1 million.by $2 million. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on December 31, 2016,2018, was $30$24 million for which the Company had collateral requirements of $29$23 million in the normal course of business. If the credit risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had been triggered on December 31, 2016,2018, the Company’s collateral requirements to its counterparties would have increased by $1 million.$1 million.
Netting of Derivative Instruments
The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparties for some of its derivative and hedging activities. The Company does not offset assets and liabilities under these master netting arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. The master netting arrangements provide for single net settlement of all derivative instrument arrangements, as well as collateral, in the event of default with respect to, or termination of, any one contract with the respective counterparties.

(6) Securities Financing Activities
Netting of Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
The Company has various financial assetassets and liabilities that are subject to enforceable master netting agreements or similar agreements. The Company's derivatives that are subject to enforceable master netting agreements or similar transactions are discussed in Note 5, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company enters into agreements under which it purchases or sells securities subject to an obligation to resell or repurchase the same or similar securities. Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and recorded at the amounts at which the securities were purchased or sold plus accrued interest. The securities pledged as collateral are generally U.S. Treasury securities and other U.S. government agency securities and mortgage-backed securities.
Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are governed by a MRA. Under the terms of the MRA, all transactions between the Company and the counterparty constitute a single business relationship such that in the event of default, the nondefaulting party is entitled to set off claims and apply property held by that party in respect of any transaction against obligations owed. Any payments, deliveries, or other transfers may be applied against each other and netted. These amounts are limited to the contract asset/liability balance,

and accordingly, do not include excess collateral received or pledged. The Company offsets the assets and liabilities under netting arrangements for the balance sheet presentation of securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase provided certain criteria are met that permit balance sheet netting.

In the event of a significant decline in fair value of the collateral pledged for the securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the Company would be required to provide additional collateral. The Company minimizes the risk by monitoring the liquidity and credit quality of the collateral, as well as the maturity profile of the transactions.
At September 30, 2017,2019, the fair value of collateral received related to securities purchased under agreements to resell was $552$2.7 billion and the fair value of collateral pledged for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was

$2.6 billion. At December 31, 2018, the fair value of collateral received related to securities purchased under agreements to resell was $251 million and the fair value of collateral pledged for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $392$247 million. At December 31, 2016, the fair value of collateral received related to securities purchased under agreements to resell was $3.1 billion and the fair value of collateral pledged for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $3.1 billion.
(7) Leases
The Company leases certain land, office space, and branches. These leases are generally for periods of 10 to 20 years with various renewal options. The Company, by policy, does not include renewal options for facility leases as part of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities unless they are deemed reasonably certain to be exercised. Variable lease payments that are dependent on an index or a rate are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date and are included in the measurement of lease liability. Variable lease payments that are not dependent on an index or a rate or changes in variable payments based on an index or rate after the commencement date are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability and recognized in profit and loss in accordance with Topic 842. Variable lease payments are defined as payments made for the right to use an asset that vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time.
The Company has made a policy election to not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to all short-term leases. Instead, the short-term lease payments will be recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. As a practical expedient, the Company has also made a policy election to not separate nonlease components from lease components and instead account for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component.
The Company determines whether a contract contains a lease based on whether a contract, or a part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The discount rate is determined as the rate implicit in the lease or when a rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.
The following table summarizes the Company’s lease portfolio classification and respective right-of-use asset balances and lease liability balances which are included in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(8) Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
Commitments to Extend Credit & Standby and Commercial Letters of Credit
The following represents the Company’s commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit:
September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018
(In Thousands)(In Thousands)
Commitments to extend credit$27,548,488
 $27,070,935
$27,374,025
 $28,827,897
Standby and commercial letters of credit1,383,185
 1,474,405
988,247
 1,249,205
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Standby and commercial letters of credit are commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions, and expire in decreasing amounts with terms ranging from one to four years.

The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit and commitments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The fair value of the letters of credit and commitments typically approximates the fee received from the customer for issuing such commitments. These fees are deferred and are recognized over the commitment period. At September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, the recorded amount of these deferred fees was $7 million and $8 million, respectively. The Company holds various assets as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. At September 30, 2017,2019, the maximum potential amount of future undiscounted payments the Company could be required to make under outstanding standby letters of credit was $1.4 billion.$988 million. At September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, the Company had reserves related to letters of credit and unfunded commitments recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of $81$64 million and $77$66 million, respectively.
Loan Sale Recourse
The Company has potential recourse related to specific FNMA securitizations. At both September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, the amount of potential recourse was $19 million of which the Company had reserved $766$793 thousand and $681 thousand, respectively, which is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the respective periods.
The Company also issues standard representations and warranties related to mortgage loan sales to government-sponsored agencies. Although these agreements often do not specify limitations, the Company does not believe that any payments related to these representations and warranties would materially change the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. At both September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, the Company had $1$1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of reserves in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to potential losses from loans sold.
Loss Sharing Agreement
In connection with the Guaranty Bank acquisition, the Bank entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. In accordance with the terms of the loss sharing agreements, the FDIC’s obligation to reimburse the Bank for losses with respect to the acquired loans and acquired OREO begins with the first dollar of incurred losses, as defined in the loss sharing agreements. The loss sharing agreements provide for FDIC loss sharing for five years for commercial loans and 10 years for single family residential loans. The loss sharing agreement for commercial loans expired in the fourth quarter of 2014.
On July 12, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with the FDIC to terminate the Company's loss share agreement ahead of the contractual maturity. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company made a net payment of $132 million to the FDIC in July as consideration for early termination of the shared-loss agreement and settlement of the FDIC indemnification liability. The termination resulted in a $1.8 million gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 which was recorded in other noninterest income in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Legal and Regulatory Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, including claims, litigation, investigations and administrative proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business.

The Company (including its subsidiaries) is or may become involved from time to time in information-gathering requests, reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by various governmental regulatory agencies, law enforcement authorities and self-regulatory bodies regarding the Company’s business. Such matters may result in material adverse consequences, including without limitation adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, orders, injunctions, alterations in the Company’s business practices or other actions, and could result in additional expenses and collateral costs, including reputational damage, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where it is probable that the Company will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of a probable loss is not reasonably estimable, the Company does not accrue legal reserves. At September 30, 2017,2019, the Company had accrued legal reserves in the amount of $2$24 million. Additionally, for those matters where a loss is reasonably possible and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable, the Company estimates the amount of losses that it could incur beyond the accrued legal reserves. Under U.S. GAAP, an event is “reasonably possible” if “the chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote but less than likely” and an event is “remote“remote" if “the chance of the future event or events occurring is slight.” At September 30, 2017, there were no suchFor a limited number of legal matters wherein which the Company is involved, the Company is able to estimate a loss was reasonably possible and reasonably estimable, creatingrange of reasonably possible losses beyondin excess of related reserves, if any. Management currently estimates these losses to range from $0 to approximately $87 million. This estimated range of reasonably possible losses is based on information available at September 30, 2019. The matters underlying the accrued legal reserves.estimated range will change from time to time, and the actual results may vary significantly from this estimate. Those matters for which an estimate is not possible are not included within this estimated range; therefore, this estimated range does not represent the Company’s maximum loss exposure.

While the outcome of legal proceedings and the timing of the ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict, based on information currently available, advice of counsel and available insurance coverage, the Company believes that it has established adequate legal reserves. Further, based upon available information, the Company is of the opinion that these legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of those matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the Company’s results of operations for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the size of the loss or liability imposed and the operating results for the applicable period.

Income Tax Review
The Company is subject to review and examination from various tax authorities. The Company is currently under examination by a number of states, and has received notices of proposed adjustments related to state income taxes due for prior years. Management believes that adequate provisions for income taxes have been recorded.

(8)(9) Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsMeasurements
The Company applies the fair value accounting guidance required under ASC Topic 820 which establishes a framework for measuring fair value. This guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liabilitySee Note 19, Fair Value Measurements, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within this fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significantNotes to the instrument’s fair value measurement. The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are described as follows.
Level 1 – Fair value is based on quoted prices in an active marketDecember 31, 2018, Consolidated Financial Statements for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Fair value is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3 – Fair value is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities would include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar pricing techniques based on the Company’s own assumptions about what market participants would use to price the asset or liability.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments under the fair value hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value. In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use observable market based parameters as inputs. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality and the Company’s creditworthiness, among other things, as well as other unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments are applied consistently over time. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, the reported fair value amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since the presentation dates, and, therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Trading account assets and liabilities, securities available for sale, certain mortgage loans held for sale, derivative assets and liabilities, and mortgage servicing rights are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies for these assets and liabilities.
Trading account assets and liabilities and investment securities available for sale – Trading account assets and liabilities and investment securities available for sale consist of U.S. Treasury securities and other U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, debt obligations of state and political subdivisions, other debt and equity securities, and derivative contracts.
U.S. Treasury securities and other U.S. government agency securities are valued based on quoted market prices of identical assets on active exchanges (Level 1 measurements) or are valued based on a market approach

using observable inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, benchmark securities, and bids/offers of government-sponsored enterprise securities (Level 2 measurements).
Mortgage-backed securities are primarily valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including benchmark To Be Announced security prices, U.S. Treasury yields, U.S. dollar swap yields, and benchmark floating-rate indices. Mortgage-backed securities pricing may also give consideration to pool-specific data such as prepayment history and collateral characteristics. Valuations for mortgage-backed securities are therefore classified as Level 2 measurements.
Collateralized mortgage obligations are valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including reported trades, bids, offers, dealer quotes, U.S. Treasury yields, U.S. dollar swap yields, market convention prepayment speeds, tranche-specific characteristics, prepayment history, and collateral characteristics. Fair value measurements for collateralized mortgage obligations are classified as Level 2.
Debt obligations of states and political subdivisions are primarily valued using market-based pricing matrices that are based on observable inputs including Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board reported trades, issuer spreads, material event notices, and benchmark yield curves. These valuations are Level 2 measurements.
Other debt and equity securities consist of mutual funds, foreign and corporate debt, and U.S. government agency equity securities. Mutual funds are valued based on quoted market prices of identical assets trading on active exchanges. These valuations are Level 1 measurements. Foreign and corporate debt valuations are based on information and assumptions that are observable in the market place. The valuations for these securities are therefore classified as Level 2. U.S. government agency equity securities are valued based on quoted market prices of identical assets trading on active exchanges. These valuations thus qualify as Level 1 measurements.
Other derivative assets and liabilities consist primarily of interest rate and commodity contracts. The Company’s interest rate contracts are valued utilizing Level 2 observable inputs (yield curves and volatilities) to determine a current market price for each interest rate contract. Commodity contracts are priced using raw market data, primarily in the form of quotes for fixed and basis swaps with monthly, quarterly, seasonal or calendar-year terms. Proprietary models provided by a third party are used to generate forward curves and volatility surfaces. As a result of the valuation process and observable inputs used, commodity contracts are classified as Level 2 measurements.
Other trading assets primarily consist of interest-only strips which are valued by an independent third-party. The independent third-party values the assets on a loan-by-loan basis using a discounted cash flow analysis that employs prepayment assumptions, discount rate assumptions, and default curves. The prepayment assumptions are created from actual SBA pool prepayment history. The discount rates are derived from actual SBA loan secondary market transactions. The default curves are created using historical observable and unobservable inputs. As such, interest-only strips are classified as Level 3 measurements. The Company’s SBA department is responsible for ensuring the appropriate application of the valuation, capitalization, and amortization policies of the Company’s interest-only strips. The department performs independent, internal valuations of the interest-only strips on a quarterly basis, which are then reconciled to the third-party valuations to ensure their validity.
Loans held for sale – The Company has elected to apply the fair value option for single family real estate mortgage loans originated for resale in the secondary market. The election allows for a more effective offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting. The Company has not elected the fair value option for other loans held for sale primarily because they are not economically hedged using derivative instruments.
The fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. The changes in fair value of these assets are largely driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding and changes in the fair value of servicing associated with the mortgage loan held for sale. Both the mortgage loans held for sale and the related forward contracts are classified as Level 2.

At both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no loans held for sale for which the fair value option was elected were 90 days or more past due or were in nonaccrual. Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is recognized based on contractual rates and is reflected in interest and fees on loans in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Net gains or (losses) of $98 thousand and $(478) thousand resulting from changes in fair value of these loans were recorded in noninterest income during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net gains of $1.2 million and $2.1 million resulting from changes in fair value of these loans were recorded in noninterest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The Company also had fair value changes on forward contracts related to residential mortgage loans held for sale of approximately $(46) thousand and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company also had fair value changes on forward contracts related to residential mortgage loans held for sale of approximately $(2.0) million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. An immaterial portion of these amounts was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.
The following table summarizes the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance for residential mortgage loans measured at fair value.

 $75,192
 $2,591
December 31, 2016     
Residential mortgage loans held for sale$105,257
 $103,886
 $1,371
Derivative assets and liabilities – Derivative assets and liabilities are measured using models that primarily use market observable inputs, such as quoted security prices, and are accordingly classified as Level 2. The derivative assets and liabilities classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy were comprised of interest rate lock commitments that are valued using third-party software that calculates fair market value considering current quoted TBA and other market based prices and then applies closing ratio assumptions based on software-produced pull through ratios that are generated using the Company’s historical fallout activity. Based upon this process, the fair value measurement obtained for these financial instruments is deemed a Level 3 classification. The Company's Secondary Marketing Committee is responsible for the appropriate application of the valuation policies and procedures surrounding the Company’s interest rate lock commitments. Policies established to govern mortgage pipeline risk management activities must be approved by the Company’s Asset Liability Committee on an annual basis.
Other assets - MSR – A component of other assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are MSRs that are valued through a discounted cash flow analysis using a third-party commercial valuation system. The MSR valuation takes into consideration the objective characteristics of the MSR portfolio, such as loan amount, note rate, service fee, loan term, and common industry assumptions, such as servicing costs, ancillary income, prepayment estimates, earning rates, cost of fund rates, option-adjusted spreads, etc. The Company’s portfolio-specific factors are also considered in calculating the fair value of MSRs to the extent one can reasonably assume a buyer would also incorporate these factors. Examples of such factors are geographical concentrations of the portfolio, liquidity consideration, or additional views of risk not inherently accounted for in prepayment assumptions. Product liquidity and these other risks are generally incorporated through adjustment of discount factors applied to forecasted cash flows. Based on this method of pricing MSRs, the fair value measurement obtained for these financial instruments is deemed a Level 3 classification. The value of the MSR is calculated by a third-party firm that specializes in the MSR market and valuation services. Additionally, the Company obtains a valuation from an independent party to compare for reasonableness. The Company’s Secondary Marketing Committee is responsible for ensuring the appropriate application of valuation, capitalization, and fair value decay policies for the MSR portfolio. The Committee meets at least monthly to review the MSR portfolio.
Other assets - SBIC – A component of other assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are SBIC investments initially valued based on transaction price. The SBIC investments are valued initially based upon transaction price. Valuation factors such as recent or proposed purchase or sale of debt or equity of the issuer, pricing by other dealers in similar securities, size of position held, liquidity of the

market, and changes in economic conditions affecting the issuer, are used in the determination of estimated fair value. These SBIC investments are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Periodically, certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment. The following tables represent those assets that were subject to fair value adjustments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172019 and 2016,2018, and still held as of the end of the period, and the related gains and losses from fair value adjustments on assets sold during the period as well as assets still held as of the end of the period.

Total gains (losses) represent charge-offs on impaired loans for which adjustments are based on the appraised value of the collateral.
The following is a description of the methodologies applied for valuing these assets:
InvestmentDebt securities held to maturity – Nonrecurring fair value adjustments on investmentdebt securities held to maturity reflect impairment write-downs which the Company believes are other than temporary. For analyzing these securities, the Company has retained a third-party valuation firm. Impairment is determined through the use of cash flow models that estimate cash flows on the underlying mortgages using security-specific collateral and the transaction structure. The cash flow models incorporate the remaining cash flows which are adjusted for future expected credit losses. Future expected credit losses are determined by using various assumptions such as current default rates, prepayment rates, and loss severities. The Company develops these assumptions through the use of market data published by third-party sources in addition to historical analysis which includes actual delinquency and default information through the current period. The expected cash flows are then discounted at the interest rate used to recognize interest income on the security to arrive at a present value amount. As the fair value assessments are derived using a discounted cash flow modeling

approach and include at least one significant unobservable input, the nonrecurring fair value adjustments are classified as Level 3.

Impaired Loans – Impaired loans measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis represent the carrying value of impaired loans for which adjustments are based on the appraised value of the collateral. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments to impaired loans reflect full or partial write-downs that are generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan. Loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments based on the current estimated fair value of the collateral are classified as Level 3.
OREO – OREO is recorded on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at the lower of recorded balance or fair value, which is based on appraisals and third-party price opinions, less estimated costs to sell. The fair value is classified as Level 3.

The following provides a description of the sensitivity of the valuation technique to changes in unobservable inputs for recurring fair value measurements.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs
Trading Account Assets – Interest-Only Strips
Significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the Company’s interest-only strips include default rates and prepayment assumptions. Significant increases in either of these inputs in isolation would result in significantly lower fair value measurements. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the probability of default is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for prepayment rates.
Interest Rate Contracts - Interest Rate Lock Commitments
Significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of interest rate contracts are pull-through and cap grids. Increases or decreases in the pull-through or cap grids will have a corresponding impact in the value of interest rate contracts.
Other Assets - MSRs
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of MSRs are option-adjusted spreads, constant prepayment rate or life speed, and cost to service assumptions. The impact of prepayments and changes in the option-adjusted spread are based on a variety of underlying inputs. Increases or decreases to the underlying cash flow inputs will have a corresponding impact on the value of the MSR asset. The impact of the costs to service assumption will have a directionally opposite change in the fair value of the MSR asset.

Other Assets - SBIC Investments
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of SBIC Investments are initially based upon transaction price. Increases or decreases in valuation factors such as recent or proposed purchase or sale of debt or equity of the issuer, pricing by other dealers in similar securities, size of position held, liquidity of the market will have a corresponding impact in the value of SBIC investments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Option
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimatinghas elected to apply the fair value option for single family real estate mortgage loans originated for resale in the secondary market. The election allows for a more effective offset of its financial instruments not carried at fair value:
Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents have maturities of three months or less. Accordingly, the carrying amount approximates fair value. Because these amounts generally relate to either currency or highly liquid assets, these are considered a Level 1 measurement.
Investment securities held to maturity: Thechanges in fair values of securitiesthe loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting. The Company has not elected the fair value option for other loans held to maturityfor sale primarily because they are estimatednot economically hedged using a discounted cash flow approach. The discounted cash flow model uses inputs such as estimated prepayment speed, lossderivative instruments.
At both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no loans held for sale for which the fair value option was elected were 90 days or more past due or were in nonaccrual. Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is recognized based on contractual rates and default rates. They are considered a Level 3 measurement asis reflected in interest and fees on loans in the valuation employs significant unobservable inputs.

Loans: Loans are presented netCompany's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of the allowance for loan lossesIncome. Net gains (losses) of $887 thousand and are valued using discounted cash flows. The discount rates used to determine the present$(47) thousand resulting from changes in fair value of these loans are based on current market interest rates for loans with similar credit riskwere recorded in noninterest income during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and term. They are considered a Level 3 measurement as the valuation employs significant unobservable inputs.
Deposits: The fair values2018, respectively. Net gains (losses) of demand deposits are equal to the carrying amounts. Demand deposits include noninterest bearing demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts$1.6 million and money market demand accounts. Discounted cash flows have been used to value fixed rate term deposits. The discount rate used is based on interest rates currently being offered by the Company on comparable deposits as to amount and term. They are considered a Level 2 measurement as the valuation primarily employs observable inputs for similar instruments.
FHLB and other borrowings: The$(420) thousand resulting from changes in fair value of these loans were recorded in noninterest income during the Company’s fixed rate borrowings, which includesnine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company also had fair value changes on forward contracts related to residential mortgage loans held for sale of approximately $530 thousand and $708 thousand for the Company’s Capital Securities, are estimated using discounted cash flows, based onthree months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018,

respectively, and $481 thousand and $553 thousand for the Company’s current incremental borrowing ratesnine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. An immaterial portion of these amounts was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.

(1112) Segment Information
The Company’s operating segments are based on the Company’s organizational structure. Each segment reflects the manner in which financial information is evaluated by management. The operating segment results include certain overhead allocations and intercompany transactions. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated to determine the consolidated balances. The Company operates primarily in the United States, and, accordingly, revenue and assets outside the United States are not material. There are no individual customers whose attributable revenues exceeded exceed 10% of consolidated revenue.
In August 2017, the Company announced a reorganization of its line of business structure that will divide the existing Consumer and Commercial Banking segment into a retail line of business and a commercial line of business. This will change the Company's segment reporting structure during the fourth quarter of 2017.
The following tables present the segment information for the Company’s existing segments.

The financial information presented was derived from the internal profitability reporting system used by management to monitor and manage the financial performance of the Company. This information is based on internal management accounting policies that have been developed to reflect the underlying economics of the businesses. These policies address the methodologies applied and include policies related to funds transfer pricing, cost allocations and capital allocations.
Funds transfer pricing was used in the determination of net interest income earned primarily on loans and deposits. The method employed for funds transfer pricing is a matched funding concept whereby operating segmentslines of business which are fund providers are credited and those that are fund users are charged based on maturity, prepayment and/or repricing characteristics applied on an instrument level. Provision for loan losses is allocated to each segment based on internal management accounting policies for the allowance for loan losses and the related provision which differs from the policies for consolidated purposes. The difference between the consolidated provision for loan losses and the segments' provision for loan losses is reflected in Corporate Support and Other and reflects a current year revision in policy. Costs for centrally managed operations are generally allocated to the operating segmentlines of business based on the utilization of services provided or other appropriate indicators. Revenue is recorded in the business segment responsible for the related product or service. Fee sharing is recorded to allocate portions of such revenue to other business segments involved in selling to, or providing services to, customers. Results of operations for the business segments reflect these fee sharing allocations. Capital is allocated to the operating segmentslines of business based upon the underlying risks in each business taking into accountconsidering economic and regulatory capital standards.

The development and application of these methodologies is a dynamic process. Accordingly, prior period financialsfinancial results have been revised to reflect management accounting enhancements and changes in the Company's organizational structure due to the transfer of certain customer relationships within its large middle market customer group from the Consumer and Commercial Banking segment to the Corporate and Investment Banking segment that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2016.structure. The 20162018 segment information has been revised to conform to the 20172019 presentation. In addition, unlike financial accounting, there is no authoritative literature for management accounting similar to U.S. GAAP. Consequently, reported results are not necessarily comparable towith those presented by other financial institutions.

On August 1, 2017,In October 2019, the federal banking agencies issued final rules that adjust the thresholds at which certain enhanced prudential standards and BASEL III capital and liquidity requirements apply to FBOs, including BBVA, received notificationand the U.S. IHCs of FBOs, including the Parent, pursuant to EGRRCPA. These rules establish risk-based categories for FBOs and their U.S. IHCs that determine whether and to what extent enhanced prudential standards and certain capital and liquidity requirements apply to FBOs and their U.S. IHCs. Once these rules are effective, BBVA and the Parent will be subject to less restrictive enhanced prudential standards and capital and liquidity requirements than under current regulations. In addition, in October 2019 the Federal Reserve Board determinedand the FDIC issued a final rule that reduces or eliminates resolution planning requirements for institutions that fall into certain risk-based categories. Once this rule is effective, BBVA, the Company and the Bank will be subject to reduced resolution planning requirements.

The Federal Reserve Board will no longer take action to require the Company to comply with the Federal Reserve Board’s LCR rule until it formally amends its regulations to implement the EGRRCPA. In October 2019, the Federal Reserve Board finalized a rule formally amending its regulations to no longer require the Company to comply with the LCR rule once the amendment becomes effective. At September 30, 2017,2019, the CompanyCompany's LCR was 144% and was fully compliant with the liquidity coverage ratio rule. LCR requirements.
Management believes that the current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet the Company’s requirements and plans for continued growth.
Impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma
During the third quarter of 2017, the Company's geographic footprint was impacted by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Hurricane Harvey struck the coast of Texas in August 2017 and caused significant flood and wind damage to the cities close to the Gulf Coast. In September 2017, Hurricane Irma struck south Florida and then continued inland impacting parts of Georgia and South Carolina and causing significant flood and wind damage.
At September 30, 2017, the Company has identified approximately $11.9 billion of outstanding loans, consisting of approximately $5.9 billion of consumer loans and $6.0 billion of commercial loans, in the most significantly impacted areas. As part of its ongoing evaluation process, the Company has identified loans where the mailing address or collateral were located within FEMA designated disaster zip codes, surveyed borrowers in the impacted areas, and evaluated applicable insurance coverage. At September 30, 2017 based on this initial evaluation, the Company has recorded approximately $60 million in additional allowance for loan losses related to its best estimate of hurricane-related losses in this portion of its loan portfolio.
The amount of the allowance for loan losses related to the Hurricanes Harvey and Irma impacted loan portfolio may change in the future as additional or different information affecting customers in these areas is obtained. Additionally, the impacted loan portfolio may be subject to additional pressure on credit quality metrics including past due, criticized, and nonperforming loans, as well as net charge-offs.

The increase in provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The increase in net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 20172019, as compared to the corresponding period in 20162018, was primarily driven in part by an $8.1 million increase in commercial real estate-mortgage net charge-offs, a $5.8$56.0 million increase in commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs, which includes a $40.0 million charge-off of one health care loan, and a $5.4$35.2 million increase in consumer direct net charge-offs.

The Company recorded net charge-offs of $218.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $165.6 million during the corresponding period in 2016. The increase in net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the corresponding period in 2016 was driven, in part, by a $15.4 million increase in commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs as well as a $20.5 million increase in consumer direct net charge-offs. Included in net-charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $56.7 million of net charge-offs related to energy loans compared to $49.4 million of charge-offs related to energy loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

When borrowers are experiencing financial difficulties, the Company, in order to assist the borrowers in repaying the principal and interest owed to the Company, may make certain modifications to the loan agreement. To facilitate this process, a concessionary modification that would not otherwise be considered may be granted resulting in a classification of the loan as a TDR. Within each of the Company’s loan classes, TDRs typically involve modification of the loan interest rate to a below market rate or an extension or deferment of the loan term. The financial effects of TDRs are reflected in the components that comprise the allowance for loan losses in either the amount of charge-offs or loan loss provision and period-end allowance levels. All TDRs are considered to be impaired loans. Refer to Note

3, Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The following table provides a rollforward of TDR activity, excluding covered loans and loans held for sale.

The Company’s aggregate recorded investment in impaired loans modified through TDRs excluding covered loans was $303$213 million at September 30, 20172019 compared to $214$311 million at December 31, 2016. The increase in TDRs was due to an increase in commercial, financial and agricultural TDRs, primarily associated with energy loans.2018. Included in these amounts are $96$98 million at September 30, 20172019 and $111$110 million at December 31, 20162018 of accruing TDRs, excluding covered loans.TDRs. Accruing TDRs are not considered nonperforming because they are performing in accordance with the restructured terms.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Management’s policy is to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb estimated probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. See Note 3, Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosures regarding the allowance for loan losses. The total allowance for loan losses increased to $849$942 million at September 30, 2017,2019, from $838$885 million at December 31, 2016.2018. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.41%1.49% at September 30, 20172019 compared to 1.40%1.36% at December 31, 2016.2018. Nonperforming loans were $711$722 million at September 30, 20172019 compared to $983$811 million at December 31, 2016.2018. The allowance attributable to individually impaired loans was $108$129 million at September 30, 20172019 compared to $138$107 million at December 31, 2016.2018. The increase was driven primarily by updated impairment analyses. Loans individually evaluated for impairment may have no allowance recorded if the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell or the present value of the loan's expected future cash flows exceeds the recorded investment of the loan.
Net charge-offs were 0.47%1.10% of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 20172019 compared to 0.30%0.49% of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2016.2018. The increase in net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 20172019, as compared to the corresponding period in 20162018, was primarily driven in part by an $8.1 million increase in commercial real estate-mortgage net charge-offs, a $5.8$56.0 million increase in commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs, which includes a $40.0 million charge-off of one health care loan, and a $5.4$35.2 million increase in consumer direct net charge-offs. Commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs include $127 thousand of net charge-offs related to energy loans for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $8.5 million of net charge-offs related to energy loans for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The increase in net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 20172019 as compared to the corresponding period in 20162018 was driven in part by a $15.4$87.7 million increase in commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs as well as a $20.5$91.0 million increase in consumer direct net charge-offs.

The Company has also adopted an internal exposure-based limit which is based on a variety of risk factors, including but not limited to the borrower industry.

The commercial, financial and agricultural portfolio segment totaled $25.1$24.7 billion at both September 30, 2017 and2019 compared to $26.6 billion at December 31, 2016.2018. This segment consists primarily of large national and international companies and small to mid-sized companies. This portfolio segment also contains owner occupied commercial real estate loans. Loans in this

portfolio are generally underwritten individually and are secured with the assets of the company, and/or the personal guarantees of the business owners. The Company minimizes the risk associated with this portfolio segment by various means, including maintaining prudent advance rates, financial covenants, and obtaining personal guarantees from the principals of the borrower.

(1)December 31, 20162018 data has been revised to conform to current period industry classifications, as the Company redefined industry classifications during the secondfirst quarter of 2017.2019.


The Company has been closely monitoring its energy sector lending portfolio which was negatively impacted by the lower level of oil prices which began in mid-2014. Total energy exposure, including unused commitments to extend credit and letters of credit was $7.7 billion and $8.1 billion at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As shown in Table 13, the Company's energy sector loan balances at September 30, 2017, were approximately $3.0 billion and represented 4.9% of the Company's total loans compared to $3.2 billion and 5.4% of the Company's total loans as of December 31, 2016. This amount is comprised of loans directly related to energy, such as exploration and production, pipeline transportation of natural gas, crude oil and other refined petroleum products, oil field services, and refining and support as detailed in the following table.

The Company employs a variety of risk management strategies, including the use of concentration limits, underwriting standards and continuous monitoring. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has observed a decrease in total energy loans outstanding as well as a decrease in nonaccrual loans, as indicated in Table 13. The decrease in total exposure in the energy portfolio primarily reflects reduced borrowing bases resulting in a reduction in total commitments, while the decrease in recorded investment largely reflects energy customers taking actions to adjust their cash flows and reduce their levels of debt.
The overall level of loans rated special mention or lower, including loans classified as nonaccrual, in the energy portfolio at September 30, 2017 was 23.8%, comprised of 6.7% rated special mention and 17.1% rated substandard or lower. At December 31, 2016, the overall level of loans rated special mention or lower in the energy portfolio was 32.7%, comprised of 8.7% rated special mention and 24.0% rated substandard or lower.
Currently, the credit quality issues have mostly been isolated to the exploration and production subsector and the drilling oil and support services subsector, even though the latter represents a relatively small percentage of the portfolio. These subsectors are the subsectors most acutely impacted by pricing conditions. Within this subsector, many loans are secured and utilize borrowing base features linked to the physical commodity reserves and supported by engineering data. The borrowing bases are refreshed with updated information on a recurring basis. The Company generally continues to see adequate collateral support of secured energy borrowers, including secured reserve based lines of credit

for exploration and production borrowers. The Company's internal valuation methodologies involve independent engineering analysis of a borrower's reserve to calculate the present value of discounted cash flows that secure the loan. In doing so, the Company applies its oil and gas pricing policy, or when needed external market indices for oil and gas prices. Generally, the drilling oil and support services subsector also has a high risk for impact from the pricing environment since its operations are directly impacted by reduced spending by those in the exploration and production sector. However as noted in Table 13, the Company's exposure in this sector is limited.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, charge-offs on energy loans were approximately $127 thousand and $56.7 million, respectively, compared to $8.5 million and $49.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. If oil prices resume their decline, this energy-related portfolio may be subject to additional pressure on credit quality metrics including past due, criticized, and nonperforming loans, as well as net charge-offs. Through its ongoing portfolio credit quality assessment, the Company has and will continue to assess the impact to the allowance for loan losses and make adjustments as appropriate. As of September 30, 2017, the Company's allowance for loan losses attributable to the energy portfolio totaled approximately 2.7% of outstanding energy loans.
Commercial Real Estate
The commercial real estate portfolio segment includes the commercial real estate and real estate - construction loan portfolios. Commercial real estate loans totaled $11.3$13.1 billion and $11.2$13.0 billion at September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, respectively, and real estate — construction loans totaled $2.2$2.0 billion at both September 30, 20172019 and $2.1 billion at December 31, 2016.2018.
This portfolio segment consists primarily of extensions of credits to real estate developers and investors for the financing of land and buildings, whereby the repayment is generated from the sale of the real estate or the income

generated by the real estate property. The Company attempts to minimize risk on commercial real estate properties by various means, including requiring collateral with values that exceed the loan amount, adequate cash flow to service the debt, and the personal guarantees of principals of the borrowers. In order to minimize risk on the construction portfolio, the Company has established an operations group outside of the lending staff which is responsible for loan disbursements during the construction process.
The following tables present the geographic distribution for the commercial real estate and real estate — construction portfolios.

Residential Real Estate
The residential real estate portfolio includes residential real estate — mortgage loans, equity lines of credit and equity loans. The residential real estate portfolio primarily contains loans to individuals, which are secured by single-family residences. Loans of this type are generally smaller in size than commercial real estate loans and are geographically dispersed throughout the Company's market areas, with some guaranteed by government agencies or

private mortgage insurers. Losses on residential real estate loans depend, to a large degree, on the level of interest rates, the unemployment rate, economic conditions and collateral values.
Residential real estate - mortgage loans totaled $13.4 billion and $13.3$13.5 billion at September 30, 20172019 and $13.4 billion at December 31, 2016, respectively.2018. Risks associated with residential real estate — mortgage loans are mitigated through rigorous underwriting procedures, collateral values established by independent appraisers and mortgage insurance. In addition, the collateral for this portfolio segment is concentrated in the Company's footprint as indicated in the table below.

Foreign Exposure
As of September 30, 2017,2019, foreign exposure risk did not represent a significant concentration of the Company's total portfolio of loans and was substantially represented by borrowers domiciled in Mexico and foreign borrowers currently residing in the United States. 
Funding Activities
Deposits are the primary source of funds for lending and investing activities and their cost is the largest category of interest expense. The Company also utilizes brokered deposits as a funding source in addition to customer deposits. Scheduled payments, as well as prepayments, and maturities from portfolios of loans and investment securities also provide a stable source of funds. FHLB advances, other secured borrowings, federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowed funds, as well as longer-term debt issued through the capital markets, all provide supplemental liquidity sources. The Company’s funding activities are monitored and governed through the Company’s asset/liability management process.

At September 30, 2017,There were no changes in the Company's and the Bank's credit ratings during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The Company's and the Bank's credit ratings at September 30, 2019 were as follows:

The cost and availability of financing to the Company and the Bank are impacted by its credit ratings. A downgrade to the Company’s or Bank’s credit ratings could affect its ability to access the credit markets and increase its borrowing costs, thereby adversely impacting the Company’s financial condition and liquidity. Key factors in maintaining high credit ratings include a stable and diverse earnings stream, strong credit quality, strong capital ratios and diverse funding sources, in addition to disciplined liquidity monitoring procedures. See the risk factors disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2018, for additional information.
A securitycredit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and the ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Average interest rate does not reflect impact of balance sheet offsetting. See Note 6, Securities Financing Activities, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Total short-term borrowings decreased to $372 million at September 30, 2017 from $2.8 billion at December 31, 2016 due to a reduction in U.S. Treasury short positions held by BSI.
At September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016,2018, FHLB and other borrowings were $4.0$3.7 billion and $3.0$4.0 billion, respectively. In June 2017,August 2019, the Bank issued under its Global Bank Note Program $750$600 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.875%2.5% unsecured senior notes due 2022. 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, the Company had $9.2$4.4 billion of proceeds received from FHLB and other borrowings and repayments were approximately $8.3$4.8 billion.
Shareholder’s Equity
Total shareholder's equity was $13.1$14.1 billion at September 30, 2017,2019, compared to $12.8$13.5 billion at December 31, 2016,2018, an increase of $365$589 million. Shareholder's equity increased $407$482 million due to earnings attributable to the Company during the period, as well as a $288 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income largely attributable to a decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale securities offset, in part, by the payment of preferred and common dividends totaling $71.0$184 million to its sole shareholder, BBVA.
Risk Management
In the normal course of business, the Company encounters inherent risk in its business activities. The Company’s risk management approach includes processes for identifying, assessing, managing, monitoring and reporting risks. Management has grouped the risks facing its operations into the following categories: credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, market risk, model risk, reputational risk, fiduciary risk, suitability risk, compliance risk, legal risk, and strategic and business risk. Each of these risks is managed through the Company’s ERM program. The ERM program provides the structure and framework necessary to identify, measure, control and manage risk across the organization. ERM is the cornerstone for defining risk tolerance, identifying and monitoring key risk indicators, managing capital and integrating the Company’s capital planning process with on-going risk assessments and related stress testing for major risks.

Market Risk Management
The effective management of market risk is essential to achieving the Company’s strategic financial objectives. As a financial institution, the Company’s most significant market risk exposure is interest rate risk in its balance sheet; however, market risk also includes product liquidity risk, price risk and volatility risk in the Company’s lines of business.

The primary objectives of market risk management are to minimize any adverse effect that changes in market risk factors may have on net interest income, and to offset the risk of price changes for certain assets recorded at fair value.
Interest Rate Market Risk
The Company’s net interest income and the fair value of its financial instruments are influenced by changes in the level of interest rates. The Company manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through policies established by its Asset/Liability Committee. The Asset/Liability Committee meets regularly and has responsibility for approving asset/liability management policies, formulating strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and/or earnings and reviewing the interest rate sensitivity of the Company.
Management utilizes an interest rate simulation model to estimate the sensitivity of the Company’s net interest income to changes in interest rates. Such estimates are based upon a number of assumptions for each scenario, including the level of balance sheet growth, deposit repricing characteristics and the rate of prepayments.
The estimated impact on the Company’s net interest income sensitivity over a one-year time horizon at September 30, 2017,2019, is shown in the table below. Such analysis assumes a gradual and sustained parallel shift in interest rates, expectations of balance sheet growth and composition and the Company’s estimate of how interest-bearing transaction accounts would reprice in each scenario using current yield curves at September 30, 2017.2019.

+ 100 basis points4.582.78
 - 100 basis points(4.824.45)
The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on EVE. Inherent in this calculation are many assumptions used to project lifetime cash flows for every item on the balance sheet that may or may not be realized, such as deposit decay rates, prepayment speeds and spread assumptions. This measurement only values existing business without consideration of new business or potential management actions.

 - 100 basis points(0.720.07)
The Company is also subject to trading risk. The Company utilizes various tools to measure and manage price risk in its trading portfolios. In addition, the Board of Directors of the Company has established certain limits relative to positions and activities. The level of price risk exposure at any given point in time depends on the market environment and expectation of future price and market movements, and will vary from period to period.

Derivatives
The Company uses derivatives primarily to manage economic risks related to commercial loans, mortgage banking operations, long-term debt and other funding sources. The Company also uses derivatives to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients. As of September 30, 2017,2019, the Company had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts of $46.8$52.5 billion. The estimated net fair value of open contracts was in an asset position of $37$331 million

at September 30, 2017.2019. For additional information about derivatives, refer to Note 5, Derivatives and Hedging, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity Management
Liquidity is the ability of the Company to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Liquidity management involves maintaining the Company’s ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow requirements of its customers, whether they are depositors wishing to withdraw funds or borrowers requiring funds to meet their credit needs. Without proper liquidity management, the Company would not be able to perform the primary function of a financial intermediary and would, therefore, not be able to meet the needs of the communities it serves.
The Company regularly assesses liquidity needs under various scenarios of market conditions, asset growth and changes in credit ratings. The assessment includes liquidity stress testing which measures various sources and uses of funds under the different scenarios. The assessment provides regular monitoring of unused borrowing capacity and available sources of contingent liquidity to prepare for unexpected liquidity needs and to cover unanticipated events that could affect liquidity.
The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily through unencumbered securities available for sale, loan principal and interest payments, maturities and prepayments of investment securities held to maturity and, to a lesser extent, sales of investment securities available for sale and trading account assets. Other short-term investments such as federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell, are additional sources of liquidity.
The liability portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity through various customers’ interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit accounts and through FHLB and other borrowings. Brokered deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings as well as excess borrowing capacity with the FHLB and access to the debt capital markets are additional sources of liquidity and, basically, represent the Company’s incremental borrowing capacity. These sources of liquidity are used as necessary to fund asset growth and meet short-term liquidity needs.
In addition to the Company’s financial performance and condition, liquidity may be impacted by the Parent’s structure as a holding company that is a separate legal entity from the Bank. The Parent requires cash for various operating needs including payment of dividends to its shareholder, the servicing of debt, and the payment of general corporate expenses. The primary source of liquidity for the Parent is dividends paid by the Bank. Applicable federal and state statutes and regulations impose restrictions on the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank. In addition to the formal statutes and regulations, regulatory authorities also consider the adequacy of the Bank’s total capital in relation to its assets, deposits and other such items. Due to the net earnings restrictions on dividend distributions under Alabama law, the Bank was not permitted to pay dividends at September 30, 20172019 or December 31, 20162018 without regulatory approval. Appropriate limits and guidelines are in place to ensure the Parent has sufficient cash to meet operating expenses and other commitments without relying on subsidiaries or capital markets for funding. Any future dividends paid from the Parent must be set forth as capital actions in the Company's capital plans and not objected to by the Federal Reserve Board.

On June 29, 2017,August 27, 2019, the Bank issued under its Global Bank Note Program $750$600 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.875%2.50% unsecured senior notes due 2022.2024.
The Company’s ability to raise funding at competitive prices is affected by the rating agencies’ views of the Company’s credit quality, liquidity, capital and earnings. Management meets with the rating agencies on a routine basis to discuss the current outlook for the Company.

The Federal Reserve Board will no longer take action to require the Company to comply with the Federal Reserve Board’s LCR rule until it formally amends its regulations to implement the EGRRCPA. In 2014,October 2019, the Federal Reserve Board the OCC, and the FDIC approvedfinalized a final rule implementing a minimum liquidity coverage ratio requirement for certain large bank holding companies, savings and loan holding companies and depository institutions, and a less stringent LCR requirement for other banking organizations, such asformally amending its regulations to no longer require the Company to comply with $50 billion or more in total consolidated assets. The final rule imposes a monthly reporting requirement. As of January 2017, the LCR requirement was 100 percent.rule once the amendment becomes effective. At September 30, 2017,2019, the CompanyCompany's LCR was 144% and was fully compliant with the LCR requirements in effect for 2017.requirements. However, should the Company's cash position or investment mix change in the future, the Company's ability to meet the LCR requirement may be impacted.

Management believes that the current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet the Company’s requirements and plans for continued growth.
Capital
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum risk-based and leverage capital requirements can subject the Company and the Bank to a series of increasingly restrictive regulatory actions.

The Company is a subsidiary of BBVA Group, and activities across BBVA Group could adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations.
The Company is a part of a highly diversified international financial group which offers a wide variety of financial and related products and services including retail banking, asset management, private banking and wholesale banking. The BBVA Group strives to foster a culture in which its employees act with integrity and feel comfortable reporting instances of misconduct. The BBVA Group employees are essential to this culture, and acts of misconduct by any employee, and particularly by senior management, could erode trust and confidence and damage the BBVA Group and the Company’s reputation among existing and potential clients and other stakeholders. Negative public opinion could result from actual or alleged conduct by the BBVA Group entities in any number of activities or circumstances, including operations, employment-related offenses such as sexual harassment and discrimination, regulatory compliance, the use and protection of data and systems, and the satisfaction of client expectations, and from actions taken by regulators or others in response to such conduct.
The Spanish judicial authorities are investigating the activities of the company Centro Exclusivo de Negocios y Transacciones, S.L. (Cenyt). Such investigation includes the provision of services by Cenyt to BBVA. On July 29, 2019, BBVA was named as an official suspect (investigado) in a criminal judicial investigation (Preliminary Proceeding No. 96/2017 - Piece No. 9, Central Investigating Court No. 6 of the National High Court) for possible breaches of law related to bribery, revelation of secrets and corruption in connection with BBVA’s relationship with Cenyt. Certain current and former officers, directors and employees of the BBVA Group have also been named as official suspects in connection with this investigation. BBVA has been and continues to proactively collaborate with the Spanish judicial authorities, including sharing with the courts information from its on-going forensic investigation regarding its relationship with Cenyt. BBVA is currently not able to publicly disclose such information due to the legal requirement not to interfere with the judicial investigation. The criminal judicial proceeding is at a preliminary stage and is currently subject to a secrecy order. Therefore, it is not possible at this time to predict the scope or duration of such proceeding or any related proceeding or its or their possible outcomes or implications for the BBVA Group, including any fines, damages or harm to the BBVA Group’s reputation caused thereby. This matter or any similar matters arising across the BBVA Group could damage the Company’s reputation and adversely affect the confidence of the Company’s clients, rating agencies, regulators, bondholders and other parties and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.
