the Company has in the past and may in the future pursue acquisitions, which could affect costs and from which the Company may not be able to realize anticipated benefits; and
the Company may not be able to hire or retain additional qualified personnel and recruiting and compensation costs may increase as a result of turnover, both of which may increase costs and reduce profitability and may adversely impact the Company's ability to implement the Company's business strategies.
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the time they are made and do not necessarily reflect the Company’s outlook at any other point in time.

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, 2018,2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. 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, 2017.2018.
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.
Correction of Accounting Error
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, income tax expense included $11.4 million of income tax expense related to the correction of an error in prior periods that resulted from an incorrect calculation of the proportional amortization of the Company's Low Income Housing Tax Credit investments. This error primarily related to 2017 and was corrected in the second quarter of 2018.
The Company has evaluated the effect of this correction on prior interim and annual periods' consolidated financial statements in accordance with the guidance provided by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, codified as SAB Topic 1.N, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, and concluded that no prior annual period is materially misstated. In addition, the Company has considered the effect of this correction on the Company's nine months ended September 30, 2018 financial results and forecasted annual results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, and concluded that the impact on these periods is not material.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
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. Because the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities accounted for under other U.S. GAAP, the new revenue recognition guidance did not have a material impact on the elements of the Company's statement of income most closely associated with financial instruments, including securities gains, interest income and interest expense.
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the amendments to the revenue recognition principles utilizing a modified retrospective transition method applied to all contracts with customers outstanding upon adoption. Results for reporting

periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented in accordance with the amendments to the revenue recognition principles, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be presented in accordance with our historical accounting policies. The Company's implementation efforts include the identification of revenue within the scope of the guidance, as well as the evaluation of revenue contracts. The implementation of amendments to the revenue recognition standard had no impact on the measurement or recognition of revenue of prior periods. The Company did identify a prospective change in presentation of underwriting revenue and expenses, which will be shown gross in investment banking and advisory fees and other noninterest expense pursuant to the new requirements. The net quantitative impact of this presentation change to noninterest income and noninterest expense is immaterial and did not affect net income.
See Note 12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures in accordance with this ASU.
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. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the amendments in this ASU. Effective as of January 1, 2018, all equity securities previously classified as AFS securities were reclassified to other assets as the AFS classification is no longer permitted for equity securities under this ASU. This reclassification has been made for all periods presented. Additionally, an immaterial adjustment from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to accumulated deficit was made related to the unrealized gains associated with these equity securities. The remaining provisions of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures upon adoption.
Included in the equity securities that were reclassified from AFS securities to other assets at January 1, 2018, was $450 million of FHLB and Federal Reserve stock carried at par that was not accounted for under ASC Topic 320 but had historically been presented in AFS securities. This reclassification has been made for all periods presented.  This reclassification was immaterial and had no effect on net income, comprehensive income, total assets, or total shareholder's equity as previously reported.
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. Effective as of January 1, 2018, the adoption date, the Company changed the presentation of certain cash payments and receipts within its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These changes were applied retrospectively to all periods presented within the statement of cash flows. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company reclassified an immaterial amount of proceeds from the settlement of bank-owned life insurance policies and premiums paid for bank owned life insurance policies from operating activities to investing activities.
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 Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018. The amendments in this ASU were applied retrospectively to all periods presented within the statement of cash flows. The implementation of this guidance resulted in a change in presentation of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and additional disclosures surrounding restricted cash balances. See Note 10, Supplemental Disclosure for Statement of Cash Flows, for the required disclosures in accordance with this ASU.
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. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
Income Taxes
In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. The amendments in this ASU codified into existing U.S. GAAP the SEC Staff views expressed in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act which allows companies to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. Since the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted late in 2017, the Company expects ongoing guidance, analysis, and accounting interpretations, including additional information about facts and circumstances that existed at the enactment date when the Company files its federal tax return for the tax year 2017, which could result in adjustments to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act accounting effects recorded during 2017. The Company expects to complete its analysis within the measurement period in accordance with this ASU.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which supersedes ASC Topic 840, Leases. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01 in January 2018 which provides 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 qualitative 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 intends to adopt theadopted this ASU, as amended, on January 1, 2019 and expectsusing the optional transition method, which allowed for a modified retrospective method of adoption with a cumulative effect adjustment to electretained earnings without restating comparable periods. The Company also elected the transition relief provisions.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 is currentlydid 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 impact of the new guidance on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The Company will recognizerecognized right-of-use assets of $290 million and lease liabilities for virtually all of its operating lease commitments.$332 million. The amounts of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, recorded upon adoption, will bewere primarily based primarily, on the present value of unpaid future minimum lease payments as of January 1, 2019. Those amounts will also bewere impacted by assumptions aroundrelated to renewals and/or extensions of existing lease contracts and the interest rate used to discount those future lease obligations. As of December 31, 2017,Additionally, the Company reportedrecognized a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $369$3.5 million in minimum lease payments due under such agreements fromat adoption to increase the beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 forward. While these leases represent a majority offor the leases within the scope of the standard, the lease portfolio is subject to change as a result of the execution of new leases and terminations of existing leasesremaining deferred gains on sale-leaseback transactions which occurred prior to the effective date, as well as the identification of potential embedded and other leases. The Company doesadoption. This ASU will not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the timing of expense recognition on itsthe Company's results of operations.
See Note 7, Leases, for the required disclosures in accordance with this ASU.
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. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard had 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 guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifieschanges the impairment model for AFSmost 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 provides for a simplified accountingoff-balance sheet credit exposures. This model forrequires 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, since their origination.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 assessingin 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 adoptionallowance will be required to cover the expected life of the loan portfolio upon adoption. The extent of this standardimpact 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 financial conditionissuance of additional clarifying guidance. The Company continues to monitor the issues discussed by the Transition Resource Group and resultsthe recommended amendments proposed to the FASB as part of operations 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.  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 assessingBased 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 and the impact of adoption.

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 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 the impact that the adoption of 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, 2018,2019, the Company held certain debt 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 debt securities available for sale or held to maturity portfolios, presented in the preceding tables, represents an OTTI at either September 30, 20182019 or December 31, 20172018, 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 for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.

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, illustrate the credit quality indicators associated with the Company’s loans, by loan class.

Policies related to the Company's nonaccrual and past due loans are included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.
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, 2018, $1.92019, $7.8 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $106.5$25.0 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications

to the loan’s structure. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, $3.32018, $1.9 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $102.3$106.5 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications to the loan’s structure. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $17.3 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $57.8 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications to the loan’s structure. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, $25.3 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $113.0 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications to the loan’s structure. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, $5.2 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $212.5 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.

Charge-offs and changesThe impact to the allowance for loan losses related to modifications classified as TDRs were approximately $6.7 million and $18.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The impact to the allowance for loan losses related to modifications classified as TDRs were $(100) thousand and $11.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Charge-offs and changes to the allowance related to modifications classified as TDRs were approximately $20.3 million and $26.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.
The Company considers TDRs aged 90 days or more past due, charged off or classified as nonaccrual subsequent to modification, where the loan was not classified as a nonperforming loan at the time of modification, as subsequently defaulted.

The following tables provide a summary of initial subsequent defaults that occurred within one year of the restructure date. The table excludestables exclude loans classified as held for sale as of period-end and includes loans no longer in default as of period-end.

(1)These loans are not included in loans on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(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, 2017,2018, 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.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.

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 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, 20182019 and 2017,2018, related to hedged firm commitments no longer qualifying as a fair value hedge. At September 30, 2018,2019, the fair value hedges had a weighted average expected remaining term of 3.6 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 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, 20182019 and 2017.2018.
At September 30, 2018,2019, cash flow hedges not terminated had a net fair value of $(229) thousand$(3) million and a weighted average life of 0.53.6 years. Net losses of $12.8$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 2.84.3 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 and foreign exchange contracts in its trading activities. See Note 14,13, Derivatives and Hedging, in the Notes to the December 31, 2017,2018, Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company's derivatives not designated as 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, 2018,2019, interest rate swap agreements and options classified as trading were substantially matched. The Company had credit risk of $121$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 material credit losses associated with derivative instruments classified as trading for the three and nine months ended September 30,

2018 2019 and 2017.2018. At September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, 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, 2018,2019, have credit risk of $12$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, 20182019 and 2017.2018. At September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, there were no nonperforming derivative positions classified as nontrading.
As of September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company had recorded the right to reclaim cash collateral of $83$110 million and $92$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 $38$40 million and $24$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, 2018,2019, was $12$54 million for which the Company has collateral requirements of $12$52 million in the normal course of business. If the credit risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had been triggered on September 30, 2018,2019, the Company’s collateral requirements to its counterparties would not require any additional increases.increase 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, 2017,2018, was $31$24 million for which the Company had collateral requirements of $30$23 million in the normal course of business. If the credit risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had been triggered on December 31, 2017,2018, the Company’s collateral requirements to its counterparties would have increased by $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. Cash collateral is usually posted by the counterparty with a net liability position in accordance with contract thresholds.

The following table represents the Company’s total gross derivative instrument assets and liabilities subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. The derivative instruments the Company has with its customers are not subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement.

(6) Securities Financing Activities
Netting of Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
The Company has various financial assets 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, 2019, the fair value of collateral received related to securities purchased under agreements to resell was $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 $875$251 million and the fair value of collateral pledged for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $806 million. At December 31, 2017, the fair value of collateral received related to securities purchased under agreements to resell was $94 million and the fair value of collateral pledged for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $91$247 million.
(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, 2018 December 31, 2017September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018
(In Thousands)(In Thousands)
Commitments to extend credit$27,738,855
 $27,743,387
$27,374,025
 $28,827,897
Standby and commercial letters of credit1,273,364
 1,446,903
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, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the recorded amount of these deferred fees was $7 million and $9$8 million, respectively. The Company holds various assets as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. At September 30, 2018,2019, the maximum potential amount of future undiscounted payments the Company could be required to make under outstanding standby letters of credit was $1.3 billion.$988 million. At September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, 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 $72$64 million and $83$66 million, respectively.
Loan Sale Recourse
The Company has potential recourse related to specific FNMA securitizations. At both September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the amount of potential recourse was $19 million of which the Company had reserved $793 thousand 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, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company had $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.
Forward Starting Reverse Repurchase Agreements and Forward Starting Repurchase Agreements
The Company enters into securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase that settle at a future date, generally within three business days. At September 30, 2018 the Company had

forward starting reverse repurchase agreements of $83 million and no forward starting repurchase agreements. The Company had no forward starting reverse repurchase agreements or forward starting repurchase agreements at December 31, 2017.

The Company 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, 2018,2019, the Company had accrued legal reserves in the amount of $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" if “the chance of the future event or events occurring is slight.” For a limited number of legal matters in which the Company is involved, the Company is able to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses in 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, 2018.2019. The matters underlying the 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.

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, 20182019 and 2017,2018, 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:
Debt securities held to maturity – Nonrecurring fair value adjustments on debt 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 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 tables below present quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs for material assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on a recurring and nonrecurring basis.

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
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
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values, as well as the level within the fair value hierarchy, of the Company’s financial instruments, excluding financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, are as follows:

Fair Value Option
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.
At both September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, 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 is reflected in interest and fees on loans in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Net gains or (losses) of $(47)$887 thousand and $98$(47) thousand resulting from changes in fair value of these loans were recorded in noninterest income during the three months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. Net gains or (losses) of $1.6 million and $(420) thousand and $1.2 million resulting from changes in fair value of these loans were recorded in noninterest income during the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively.
The Company also had fair value changes on forward contracts related to residential mortgage loans held for sale of approximately $708$530 thousand and $(46)$708 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018,

respectively. The Company also had fair value changes on forward contracts related to residential mortgage loans held for sale of approximatelyrespectively, and $481 thousand and $553 thousand and $(2.0) million for the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. 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.

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 lines 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 lines 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 lines of business based upon the underlying risks in each business considering economic and regulatory capital standards.
The development and application of these methodologies is a dynamic process. Accordingly, prior period financial results have been revised to reflect management accounting enhancements and changes in the Company's organizational structure. The 20172018 segment information has been revised to conform to the 20182019 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 with those presented by other financial institutions.

(12)(13) Revenue from Contracts with Customers
As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Topic 606 and all subsequent ASUs that modified 606. See Recently Adopted Accounting Standards section of Note 1, Basis of Presentation, for further discussion related to the transition and implementation of this ASU.
The following is a discussion of key revenues within the scope of the new revenue guidance:
Service charges on deposit accounts - Revenue from service charges on deposit accounts is earned through cash management, wire transfer, and other deposit-related services; as well as overdraft, non-sufficient funds, account management and other deposit-related fees. Revenue is recognized for these services either over time, corresponding with deposit accounts’ monthly cycle, or at a point in time for transactional related services and fees.
Card and merchant processing fees - Card and merchant processing fees consists of interchange fees from consumer credit and debit cards processed by card association networks, merchant services, and other card related services. Interchange rates are generally set by the credit card associations and based on purchase

volumes and other factors. Interchange fees are recognized as transactions occur. Merchant services income represents account management fees and transaction fees charged to merchants for the processing of card association transactions. Merchant services revenue is recognized as transactions occur, or as services are performed.
Investment banking and advisory fees - Investment banking and advisory fees primarily represent revenues earned by the Company for various corporate services including advisory, debt placement and underwriting. Revenues for these services are recorded at a point in time or upon completion of a contractually identified transaction. Underwriting costs are presented gross against underwriting revenues.
Money transfer income - Money transfer income represents income from the Parent’s wholly owned subsidiary, BBVA Compass Payments, Inc., which engages in money transfer services, including money transmission and foreign exchange services. Money transfer income is recognized as transactions occur.
Asset management, retail investment, and commissions fees - Asset management, retail investment, and commissions fees consists of fees generated from money management transactions and treasury management services, along with mutual fund and annuity sales fee income. Revenue from trade execution and brokerage services is earned through commissions from trade execution on behalf of clients. Revenue from these transactions is recognized on the trade date. Any ongoing service fees are recognized on a monthly basis as services are performed. Trust and asset management services include asset custody and investment management services provided to individual and institutional customers. Revenue is recognized monthly based on a minimum annual fee, and the market value of assets in custody. Additional fees are recognized for transactional activity. Insurance revenue is earned through commissions on insurance sales and earned at a point in time. These revenues are recorded in asset management fees and retail investment sales within noninterest income.
The following tables depict the disaggregation of revenue according to revenue type and segment.

Noninterest expense increased $31.5 million2019 compared to $605.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared2018.

Capital and Regulatory
Under the Basel III transitional provisions, the Company's Tier1 and CET1 ratios were 12.41%13.24% and 12.07%12.89%, respectively, at September 30, 20182019 compared to 12.15%12.33% and 11.80%12.00%, respectively, at December 31, 2017.2018.
On May 24, 2018,In October 2019, the EGRRCPA amendedfederal banking agencies issued final rules that adjust the Dodd-Frank Act by raising the asset thresholds aboveat which certain financial institutionsenhanced prudential standards and BASEL III capital and liquidity requirements apply to FBOs, including BBVA, and 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 variousless restrictive enhanced prudential standards. The federal banking regulators have issued statements noting the interim positions the regulators will take with respect to their existing regulations until the regulators can formally amend their regulations to implement the EGRRCPA.
standards and capital and liquidity requirements than under current regulations. In its statement on the EGRRCPA,addition, in October 2019 the Federal Reserve Board noted that it will no longer take action to require bank holding companies with $50 billion or more but less than $100 billion in total consolidated assets, such as the Company, to comply with its liquidity coverage ratio rule until it formally amends its regulations to implement the EGRRCPA. This relief is not required under the EGRRCPA, as the EGRRCPA did not exempt any bank holding companies from the Federal Reserve Board’s liquidity coverage ratio rule. We cannot predict whether the Company will become exempt from the Federal Reserve Board’s liquidity cover ratio rule when the Federal Reserve Board formally amends its rules to implement the EGRRCPA or whether the Federal Reserve Board will instead resume taking action to require the Company to comply with this rule. Under the EGRRCPA and the Federal Reserve Board’s statement regarding the EGRRCPA,FDIC issued a final rule that reduces or eliminates resolution planning requirements for institutions that fall into certain enhanced prudential standards that apply to Large FBOs, such asrisk-based categories. Once this rule is effective, BBVA, remain in effect, including liquidity risk management, liquidity stress testing and liquidity buffer requirements. The Company and the Bank are part of BBVA’s U.S. operations.
We cannot predict whether U.S. intermediate holding companies that are subsidiaries of Large FBOs, such as the Company, will be exempted from any regulatory requirements, such as supervisory and company-run Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test requirements and the Federal Reserve Board’s capital planning rule, when the Federal Reserve Board formally amends its rules to implement the EGRRCPA. Relief from these requirements is not required under the EGRRCPA for U.S. intermediate holding companies that are subsidiaries of Large FBOs.
The EGRRCPA prohibits the federal banking regulators from requiring banking organizations, including the Company and the Bank will be subject to apply heightened risk weightsreduced resolution planning requirements. The Company is currently evaluating what effect these final rules will have on the Company, its subsidiaries, or these entities' activities, reporting of financial condition and/or results of operations.
In August and September 2019, the five regulatory agencies charged with implementing the Volcker Rule released final amendments to HVCREexposures, as required under the regulators’ current capital rules, unlessVolcker Rule regulations that tailor the exposures satisfyVolcker Rule's compliance requirements to the amount of a new statutoryfirm's trading activity, revise the definition of an HVCRE ADC loan. On September 18, 2018,a trading account, clarify certain key provisions in the federal banking regulators issued a proposed rule implementingVolcker Rule, and simplify the statutory definitioninformation that covered entities are required to provide to regulatory agencies. The Company is of HVCRE ADC loanthe view that the impact of the Volcker Rule and the related risk-weight framework, without change, into their respective capital rules. In their statements regardingamendments to the EGRRCPA, the federal banking regulators noted that until they finalize the now-proposed rules implementing the new HVCRE ADC loan risk-weight framework required under the EGRRCPA, they will allow banking organizations eitherVolcker Rule is not material to continue to apply a heightened risk weight to exposures that satisfy the current regulatory definition of an HVCRE exposure or to apply a heightened risk weight to only those exposures that the banking organization believes satisfy the new statutory definition of an HVCRE ADC loan.its business operations.
Liquidity
The Company’s sources of liquidity include customers’ interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit accounts, loan principal and interest payments, investment securities, short-term investments and borrowings. As a holding company, the Parent’s primary source of liquidity is dividends from the Bank. Due to the net earnings restrictions on dividend distributions under Alabama law, the Bank must obtain regulatory approval prior to paying any dividends.

During 2018, the Parent paid common dividends of $110 million to its sole shareholder, BBVA. Any dividends paid by the Parent must be set forth as capital actions in the Company's capital plan and not objected to by the Federal Reserve Board.
As noted in "Capital and Regulatory,” theThe 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, 2018,2019, the CompanyCompany's LCR was 144% and was fully compliant with the LCR rule.requirements.
Management believes that the current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet the Company’s requirements and plans for continued growth.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is the charge to earnings that management determines to be necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a sufficient level reflecting management's estimate of probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio.
Three Months Ended September 30, 20182019 and 20172018
For the three months ended September 30, 2018,2019, the Company recorded $95.0$140.6 million of provision for loan losses compared to $103.4$95.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 included $60 million of provision expense related to the estimated impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma on the loan portfolio.2018. The increase in provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2018, excluding the additional provision expense in 2017 related to the hurricanes,2019 was primarily attributable to higher losses within the consumer direct loan growthportfolio as well as an increase in losses in the commercial, financial and agricultural loan portfolio during the three months ended September 30, 2018.
At September 30, 2018, there was no remaining allowance for loan losses related to the Hurricanes Harvey and Irma impacted loan portfolio compared to $11 million at June 30, 2018 based upon management's best estimate of the probable incurred losses resulting from these hurricanes.2019.
The Company recorded net charge-offs of $79.6$176.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 20182019 compared to $71.3$79.6 million during the corresponding period in 2017.2018. The increase in net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2018,2019, as compared to the corresponding period in 2017,2018, was primarily driven by a $10.5$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 $35.2 million increase in consumer direct net charge-offs and a $4.9 million increase in consumer indirect net charge-offs offset by a $5.7 million decrease in commercial real estate–mortgage net charge-offs.
Net charge-offs were 1.10% of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 0.49% of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 0.47% of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded $243.3 million of provision for loan losses compared to $228.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily related to growth in the loan portfolio offset by a decrease in the allowance for loan losses related to the estimated impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma on the loan portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
At September 30, 2018, there was no remaining allowance for loan losses related to the Hurricanes Harvey and Irma impacted loan portfolio compared to $45 million at December 31, 2017 based upon management's best estimate of the probable incurred losses resulting from these hurricanes.
The Company recorded net charge-offs of $210.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $218.0 million during the corresponding period in 2017. The decrease in net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the corresponding period in 2017 was driven in part by a $41.2 million decrease in commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs primarily due to a decrease in charge-offs related to energy loans offset by a $32.1 million increase in consumer direct net charge-offs and a $12.2 million increase in consumer indirect net charge-offs primarily due to an increase in loan growth in the consumer direct and indirect portfolios. Consumer direct and indirect net charge-offs were 5.59% and 2.37% of average consumer direct and indirect loans, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 4.96% and 2.11% of average consumer direct and indirect loans, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Net charge-offs were 0.45% of average loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 0.48% of average loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
For further discussion and analysis of the allowance for loan losses, refer to the discussion of lending activities found later in this section. Also, refer to Note 3, Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosures.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded $477.9 million of provision for loan losses compared to $243.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to higher losses within the consumer direct loan portfolio as well as an increase in the allowance on individually evaluated nonperforming loans in the commercial, financial and agricultural loan portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
The Company recorded net charge-offs of $421.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $210.6 million during the corresponding period in 2018. The increase in net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the corresponding period in 2018 was driven in part by an $87.7 million increase in commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs as well as a $91.0 million increase in consumer direct net charge-offs and an $11.0 million increase in consumer indirect net charge-offs.

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 was $359$213 million at September 30, 20182019 compared to $286$311 million at December 31, 2017.2018. Included in these amounts are $93$98 million at September 30, 20182019 and $101$110 million at December 31, 20172018 of accruing 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 $875$942 million at September 30, 2018,2019, from $843$885 million at December 31, 2017.2018. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.36%1.49% at September 30, 20182019 compared to 1.37%1.36% at December 31, 2017.2018. Nonperforming loans were $673$722 million at September 30, 20182019 compared to $718$811 million at December 31, 2017.2018. The allowance attributable to individually impaired loans was $137$129 million at September 30, 20182019 compared to $104$107 million at December 31, 2017.2018. 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 1.10% of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 0.49% of average loans for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 0.47% of average loans2018. The increase in net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2017.2019, as compared to the corresponding period in 2018, was primarily driven by a $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 $35.2 million increase in consumer direct net charge-offs.
Net charge-offs were 0.88% of average loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 0.45% of average loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 0.48% of average loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2018. The decreaseincrease in net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 as compared to the corresponding period in 20172018 was driven in part by a $41.2$87.7 million decreaseincrease in commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs primarily due toas well as a decrease in charge-offs related to energy loans and an $8.9 million decrease in commercial real estate – mortgagenet charge-offs offset by an $32.1$91.0 million increase in consumer direct net charge-offs and a $12.2$11.0 million increase in consumer indirect net charge-offs due to an increase in loan growth in the consumer direct and indirect portfolios. Consumer direct and indirect net charge-offs on consumer direct and indirect loans were 5.59% and 2.37% of average consumer direct and consumer indirect loans, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 4.96% and 2.11% of average consumer direct and consumer indirect loans, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.charge-offs.

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 $12.4$13.1 billion and $11.7$13.0 billion at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, respectively, and real estate — construction loans totaled $2.1$2.0 billion at both September 30, 20182019 and $2.3 billion at December 31, 2017.2018.
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 $13.5 billion at September 30, 2019 and $13.4 billion at both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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, 2018,2019, 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, 2018,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:

(1) S&P does not provide a rating; therefore, the rating is N/A.
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, 2017,2018, for additional information.
A credit 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.
Deposits
Total deposits increased by $1.1$1.4 billion from December 31, 20172018 to September 30, 2018.2019. At September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, total deposits included $7.5$5.5 billion and $8.4$9.0 billion, respectively, of brokered deposits, respectively.deposits.

Total short-term borrowings increased $109 million at September 30, 2018 from $38 million at December 31, 2017.
At September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, FHLB and other borrowings were $5.0$3.7 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively. In June 2018,August 2019, the Bank issued under its Global Bank Note Program $700$600 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.50%2.5% unsecured senior notes due 2021, and $450 million aggregate principal amount of its floating rate unsecured senior notes due 2021. 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, the Company had $17.3$4.4 billion of proceeds received from FHLB and other borrowings and repayments were approximately $16.1$4.8 billion.
Shareholder’s Equity
Total shareholder's equity was $13.3$14.1 billion at September 30, 2018,2019, compared to $13.0$13.5 billion at December 31, 2017,2018, an increase of $329$589 million. Shareholder's equity increased $566$482 million due to earnings attributable to the Company during the period, offset byas well as a $114$288 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive lossincome largely attributable to an increasea decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale securities andoffset, in part, by the payment of preferred and common dividends totaling $123$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, 2018 and June 30, 2018, are2019, 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, 2018.2019.

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.

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, 2018,2019, the Company had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts of $47.6$52.5 billion. The estimated net fair value of open contracts was in a liabilityan asset position of $120$331 million

at September 30, 2018.2019. 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, 20182019 or December 31, 20172018 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.

As noted in “Executive Overview—Capital and Regulatory” in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, theThe 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, 2018,2019, the CompanyCompany's LCR was 144% and was fully compliant with the LCR requirements applicable to

At September 30, 2018,2019, the regulatory capital ratios of the Bank exceeded the “well-capitalized” standard for banks based on applicable U.S. regulatory capital requirements. The Company continually monitors these ratios to ensure that the Bank exceeds this standard.
In April 2018, the Federal Reserve Board proposed a rule that would amend the capital planning and stress testing rules applicable to large bank holding companies, such as the Company, as well as the U.S. Basel III capital rules applicable to such bank holding companies, to shift the quantitative capital requirements that are based on pro forma losses under stressed conditions from a quantitative component of the annual capital planning requirements to an ongoing capital buffer requirement, as well as to modify certain assumptions used in determining the pro forma losses. Also in April 2018, the Federal Reserve Board and other U.S. federal banking agencies proposed a rule regarding the regulatory capital treatment of the implementation of and transition to ASU 2016-13, which establishes new accounting guidance for credit losses, as discussed in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted.

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.
