Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020

Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2020, Customers adopted ASC 326, which replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the CECL methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and net investments in leases recognized by Customers as a lessor in accordance with ASC 842. CECL also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance, such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments. ASC 326 also made changes to the accounting for AFS debt securities, which now requires credit losses to be presented as an allowance, rather than as a write-down on AFS debt securities that management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will not be required to sell.

Customers adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, net investments in leases, and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2019 are presented under ASC 326, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. Customers recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $61.5 million, net of deferred taxes of $21.5 million, as of January 1, 2020 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326. Customers adopted ASC 326 using the prospective transition approach for PCD financial assets that were previously classified as PCI and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the standard, Customers did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. On January 1, 2020, the amortized cost basis of the PCD assets were adjusted to reflect the addition of $0.2 million of the allowance for credit losses on PCD loans and leases. The remaining noncredit discount of $0.3 million, based on the adjusted amortized cost basis, will be accreted into interest income at the effective interest rate as of January 1, 2020.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases is a valuation account that is deducted from the loan or lease’s amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans and leases. Loans and leases deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Changes to the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases are recorded through the provision for credit losses on loans and leases. The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases is maintained at a level considered appropriate to absorb expected credit losses over the expected life of the portfolio as of the reporting date.

The allowance for credit losses on loans and leases is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Customers' loan portfolio segments include commercial and consumer. Each of these two loan portfolio segments is comprised of multiple loan classes. Loan classes are characterized by similarities in loan type, collateral type, risk attributes and the manner in which credit risk is assessed and monitored. The commercial segment is composed of multi-family, commercial and industrial, commercial real estate owner occupied, commercial real estate non-owner occupied and construction loan classes. The consumer segment is composed of residential real estate, manufactured housing and other consumer. Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not also included in the collective evaluation. For individually assessed loans, see related details in the Individually Assessed Loans section below.

The allowance for credit losses on collectively assessed loans and leases is measured over the expected life of the loan or lease using lifetime loss rate models which consider historical loan performance, loan or borrower attributes and forecasts of future economic
13

Table of Contents
conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. Significant loan/borrower attributes utilized in the models include origination date, maturity date, collateral property type, internal risk rating, delinquency status, borrower state and FICO score at origination. Customers uses external sources in the creation of its forecasts, including current economic conditions and forecasts for macroeconomic variables over its reasonable and supportable forecast period (e.g., GDP growth rate, unemployment rate, BBB spread, commercial real estate and home price index). After the reasonable and supportable forecast period, which ranges from two to five years, the models revert the forecasted macroeconomic variables to their historical long-term trends, without specific predictions for the economy, over the expected life of the pool. The lifetime loss rate models also incorporate prepayment assumptions into estimated lifetime loss rates. Customers runs the CECL impairment models on a quarterly basis and qualitatively adjusts model results for risk factors that are not considered within the models but which are relevant in assessing the expected credit losses within the loan and lease pools. Management generally considers the following qualitative factors:

Volume and severity of past-due loans, non-accrual loans and classified loans;
Lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and historically based loss/collection, charge-off and recovery practices;
Nature and volume of the portfolio;
Existence and effect of any credit concentrations and changes in the level of such concentrations;
Risk ratings;
The value of the underlying collateral for loans that are not collateral dependent;
Changes in the quality of the loan review system;
Experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff;
Other external factors, such as changes in legal, regulatory or competitive environment; and
Model and data limitations.

Customers has elected to not estimate an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable, as it already has a policy in place to reverse or write-off accrued interest, through interest income, in a timely manner. Accrued interest receivable is presented as a separate financial statement line item in the consolidated balance sheet.

Purchased Credit Deteriorated (“PCD”) Loans and Leases

PCD assets are acquired individual loans and leases (or acquired groups of loans and leases with similar risk characteristics) that, as of the date of acquisition, have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, as determined by an acquirer’s assessment. PCD loans and leases are recorded at their purchase price plus the allowance for credit losses expected at the time of acquisition, or “gross up” of the amortized cost basis. The January 1, 2020 transition adjustment discussed above was established for these loans and leases without affecting the income statement or retained earnings. Changes in the current estimate of the allowance for credit losses after acquisition from the estimated allowance previously recorded are reported in the income statement as provision for credit losses expense or reversal of provision for credit losses in subsequent periods as they arise. Purchased loans or leases that do not qualify as PCD assets are accounted for similar to originated assets, whereby an allowance for credit losses is recognized with a corresponding increase to the income statement provision for credit losses. Evidence that purchased loans and leases, measured at amortized cost, have more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination and, therefore meet the PCD definition, may include loans and leases that are past-due, in non-accrual status, poor borrower credit score, recent loan-to-value percentages and other standard indicators (i.e., TDR, charge-offs and bankruptcy).

Allowance for Credit Losses on Lending-Related Commitments

Customers estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which it is exposed to credit risk on contractual obligations to extend credit, unless the obligation is unconditionally cancellable by Customers. The allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments is recorded in accrued interest payable and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and is recorded as a provision for credit losses within other non-interest expense in the consolidated income statement. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over their estimated lives. Customers estimates the expected credit losses for undrawn commitments using a usage given default calculation. The lifetime loss rates for off-balance sheet credit exposures are calculated in the same manner as on-balance sheet credit exposures, using the same models and economic forecasts, adjusted for the estimated likelihood that funding will occur.

Individually Assessed Loans and Leases

ASC 326 provides that a loan or lease is measured individually if it does not share similar risk characteristics with other financial assets. For Customers, loans and leases which are identified to be individually assessed under CECL typically would have been evaluated
14

Table of Contents
individually as impaired loans using accounting guidance in effect in periods prior to the adoption of CECL and include troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) and collateral dependent loans.

TDRs

A loan for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties is considered to be a TDR. The allowance for credit loss on a TDR is measured using the same method as all other loans held for investment, except in cases when the value of a concession cannot be measured using a method other than the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method. When the value of a concession is measured using the DCF method, the allowance for credit loss is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the original effective interest rate of the loan.

The CARES Act and certain regulatory agencies recently issued guidance stating certain loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial distress as a result of the economic impacts created by COVID-19 may not be required to be treated as TDRs under U.S GAAP. For COVID-19 related loan modifications which met the loan modification criteria under either the CARES Act or the criteria specified by the regulatory agencies, Customers elected to suspend TDR accounting for such loan modifications.

Collateral Dependent Loans

Customers considers a loan to be collateral dependent when foreclosure of the underlying collateral is probable. Customers has also elected to apply the practical expedient to measure expected credit losses of a collateral dependent asset using the fair value of the collateral, less any estimated costs to sell, when foreclosure is not probable but repayment of the loan is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Available for Sale Securities

For AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position, Customers first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For AFS debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, Customers evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses on AFS securities is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses on AFS securities is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses on AFS securities are recorded as provision, or reversal of provision for credit losses on AFS securities in other non-interest income within the consolidated income statement. Losses are charged against the allowance for credit losses on AFS securities when management believes the uncollectibility of an AFS security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities totaled $3.2 million at June 30, 2020 and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Leases

Issued February 2016

Supersedes the lease accounting guidance for both lessees and lessors under ASC 840, Leases.
From the lessee's perspective, the new standard establishes a ROU model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.
Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for lessees.
This ASU requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially similar to the existing guidance for sales-type, direct financing leases and operating leases.
Effective January 1, 2019.
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,” which provides lessees the option to apply the new leasing standard to all open leases as of the adoption date. Prior to this ASU issuance, a modified retrospective transition approach was required.
In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20 "Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors," which provides lessors a policy election to not evaluate whether certain sales taxes and other similar taxes are lessor costs or lessee costs. Additionally, the update requires certain lessors to exclude from variable payments lessor costs paid by lessees directly to third parties.
In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01 "Codification Improvements," which clarifies that lessors who are not manufacturers or dealers should use the original cost of the underlying asset in a lease as its fair value. Additionally, the update states that lessors who are depository or lending institutions within the scope of ASC 942 should present all principal payments received under leases under investing activities in their Statement of Cash Flows and that interim disclosures under ASC 250-10-50-3 are not required in the interim reports of issuers adopting ASC 842.
Customers adopted on January 1, 2019.
The adoption did not materially change Customers' recognition of operating lease expense in its consolidated statements of income.
Customers adopted certain practical expedients available under the new guidance, which did not require it to (1) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, (2) reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, (3) reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases, (4) separate non-lease components from the associated lease components, (5) evaluate whether certain sales taxes and other similar taxes are lessor costs, and (6) capitalize short-term leases. Additionally, Customers elected to apply the new lease guidance at the adoption date, rather than at the beginning of the earliest period presented and will continue to present comparative periods prior to January 1, 2019 under Topic 840. Customers did not adopt the hindsight practical expedient.
The adoption of the ASU for Customers' lessor equipment finance business did not have a significant impact on Customers' financial condition, results of operations, and consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features

Issued July 2017

Changes the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features.
When determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity's own stock. As a result, a freestanding equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded conversion option) would no longer be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature.
For freestanding equity-classified financial instruments, the amendments require entities to recognize the effect of the down round feature when it is triggered. That effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of net income available to common shareholders in basic EPS.
Effective January 1, 2019.
Customers adopted on January 1, 2019.

Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting

Issued June 2018


Expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which currently only includes share-based payments issued to employees, to also include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods and services.
Applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services from non-employees to be used or consumed in a grantor's own operations by issuing share-based payment awards.
With the amended guidance from ASU 2018-07, non-employees share-based payments are measured with an estimate of the fair value of the equity the business is obligated to issue at the grant date (the date that the business and the stock award recipient agree to the terms of the award).
Compensation would be recognized in the same period and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for goods or services instead of stock.
Effective January 1, 2019.
Customers adopted on January 1, 2019.
The adoption did not have a significant impact on Customers' financial condition, results of operations and consolidated financial statements.

Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

Issued June 2016

Requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the CECL model to estimate lifetime expected credit loss and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset (including held-to-maturity debt securities), presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset.
Replaces today's "incurred loss" approach and is expected to result in earlier recognition of credit losses.
For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances for credit losses rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the OTTI model, and will be allowed to reverse previously established allowances in the event the credit of the issuer improves.
Simplifies the accounting model for PCI debt securities and loans.
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief," which provides entities that have certain instruments within the scope of Topic 326 with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825, Financial Instruments. This relief is to be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments upon adoption of Topic 326.
Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.
Adoption to be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted.
Customers has established a company-wide, cross-discipline governance structure, which provides implementation oversight and continues evaluating the impact of this ASU and reviewing the loss modeling requirements consistent with expected credit loss estimates.
Customers has selected a third-party vendor to assist in the implementation process of its new model.
Customers will utilize lifetime loss rate models for its commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and consumer portfolios. As Customers' loan portfolios have not been subject to a full economic credit cycle, lifetime loss rates will be based on its peer groups' historical loss rates for each of these portfolios of loans. Additionally, the loss rates will include reasonable and supportable forecasts of macroeconomic conditions.
Customers began to perform parallel runs of the new models to its current ALLL model during second quarter 2019 and continues to evaluate the results and assumptions.
Implementation efforts are continuing to focus on model validation, model calibration, qualitative factors, developing new disclosures, finalizing formal policies and procedures and other governance and control enhancements and documentation.
The FASB recently issued two ASUs that clarified treatment of several topics in the CECL standard, including recoveries and accrued interest, which we plan to implement. The FASB also recently proposed an ASU providing additional guidance on selected topics and we are awaiting final guidance to implement any necessary changes.
The adoption of this ASU will result in an increase to Customers' ALLL which will depend upon the nature and characteristics of Customers' loan and lease portfolio at the adoption date, as well as the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that date.
Customers will adopt this new guidance on January 1, 2020.

Accounting and Reporting Considerations related to COVID-19

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law and contained substantial tax and spending provisions intended to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and stimulate the economy. The CARES Act includes the PPP designed to aid small-and medium-sized businesses through federally guaranteed loans distributed through banks. Customers is a participant in the PPP. Section 4013 of the CARES act also gives entities temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements for TDRs under ASC 310-40 in certain situations.

Accounting for PPP Loans

In April 2020, Customers began to originate loans to qualified small businesses under the PPP administered by the SBA. The PPP loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA and may be eligible for forgiveness by the SBA to the extent that the proceeds are used for payroll and other permitted purposes in accordance with the requirements of the PPP. These loans carry a fixed rate of 1.00% and terms of two or five years, if not forgiven, in whole or in part. Payments are deferred for the first six months of the loan. The loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA. The SBA pays the originating bank a processing fee ranging from 1% to 5% based on the size of the loan. Customers classified the PPP loans as held for investment and these loans are carried at amortized cost and interest income is recognized using the interest method. The origination fees, net of direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the yield of the related loans over their contractual life using the interest method. As PPP is newly created, Customers does not have historical prepayment data to accurately estimate principal prepayments and therefore has elected to not estimate prepayments as a policy election. No allowance for credit losses has been recognized for PPP loans as these loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA. See Note 7 - Loans and Leases Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases for additional information.

Loan Modifications

As mentioned above, Section 4013 of the CARES Act gives entities temporary relief from the accounting and disclosure requirements for TDRs. In addition, on April 7, 2020, certain regulatory banking agencies issued an interagency statement that offers practical expedients for evaluating whether loan modifications in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are TDRs. To qualify for TDR accounting and disclosure relief under the CARES Act, the applicable loan must not have been more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019, and the modification must be executed during the period beginning on March 1, 2020, and ending on the earlier of December 31, 2020, or the date that is 60 days after the termination date of the national emergency declared by the president on March 13, 2020, under the National Emergencies Act related to the outbreak of COVID-19. The CARES Act applies to modifications made as a result of COVID-19 including: forbearance agreements, interest rate modifications, repayment plans, and other arrangements to defer or delay payment of principal or interest. The interagency statement does not require the modification to be completed within a certain time period if it is related to COVID-19 and can be provided to borrowers either individually or as part of a loan modification program. Moreover, the interagency statement applies to short-term modifications (e.g. not more than six months deferral) including payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other insignificant payment delays as a result of COVID-19.

Customers applied Section 4013 of the CARES Act and the interagency statement in connection with applicable modifications. For modifications that qualify under either the CARES Act or the interagency statement, TDR accounting and reporting is suspended. These modifications generally involve principal and/or interest payment deferrals for a period of 90 days at a time and can be extended to six months if requested by the borrower as long as the reason is still related to COVID-19. These modified loans would not also be reported as past due or nonaccrual during the deferral period. See Note 7 - Loans and Leases Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Leases for additional information.

Loans receivable, PPP:
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law and created funding for a new product called the PPP. The PPP is administered by the SBA and is intended to assist organizations with payroll related expenses. Customers had $4.8 billion of PPP loans outstanding as of June 30, 2020, which are fully guaranteed by the SBA and earn a fixed interest rate of 1.00%. Customers recognized interest income, including origination fees, of $11.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
Loans receivable, mortgage warehouse, at fair value:
Mortgage warehouse loans consist of commercial loans to mortgage companies. These mortgage warehouse lending transactions are subject to master repurchase agreements. As a result of the contractual provisions, for accounting purposes control of the underlying mortgage loan has not transferred and the rewards and risks of the mortgage loans are not assumed by Customers. The mortgage warehouse loans receivable are designated as loans held for investment and reported at fair value based on an election made to account for the loans at fair value. Pursuant to the agreements, Customers funds the pipelines for these mortgage lenders by sending payments directly to the closing agents for funded mortgage loans and receives proceeds directly from third party investors when the underlying mortgage loans are sold into the secondary market. The fair value of the mortgage warehouse loans is estimated as the amount of cash initially advanced to fund the mortgage, plus accrued interest and fees, as specified in the respective agreements. The interest rates on these loans are variable, and the lending transactions are short-term, with an average life under 30 days from purchase to sale. The primary goal of these lending transactions is to provide liquidity to mortgage companies.
At SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, all of Customers' commercial mortgage warehouse loans were current in terms of payment. As these loans are reported at their fair value, they do not have an allowance for loan and lease lossACL and are therefore excluded from ALLL-relatedACL-related disclosures.

(3)Includes purchased credit deteriorated loans of $15.7 million at June 30, 2020.
(4)Purchased-credit-impaired loans aggregated into a pool are accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows, and the past due status of the pools, or that of the individual loans within the pools, is not meaningful. Due to the credit impaired nature of the loans, the loans are recorded at a discount reflecting estimated future cash flows and the Bank recognizes interest income on each pool of loans reflecting the estimated yield and passage of time. Such loans are considered to be performing. Purchased-credit-impaired loans that are not in pools accrete interest when the timing and amount of their expected cash flows are reasonably estimable, and are reported as performing loans.
(4)(5)Amounts exclude deferred costs and fees and unamortized premiums and discounts, and the ALLL.
(5)Certain manufactured housing loans purchased in 2010 are supported by cash reserves held at the Bank of $24 thousand and $0.5 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which are used to fund past-due payments when the loan becomes 90 days or more delinquent. Each quarter, these funds are evaluated to determine if they would be sufficient to absorb the probable incurred losses within the manufactured housing portfolio.discounts.
As of both SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Bank had $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of residential real estate held in OREO.

At June 30, 2020, the ACL was $159.9 million, an increase of $23.7 million from the January 1, 2020 balance of $136.2 million. The increase resulted primarily from the impact of reserve build for the COVID-19 pandemic including the change in macroeconomic forecasts, an increase in net charge-offs, mostly attributed to the commercial real estate non-owner occupied and other consumer portfolios, and portfolio growth mainly in the other consumer portfolio. Commercial real estate non-owner occupied charge-offs are attributable to two collateral dependent loans. Other consumer charge-offs are attributable to delinquencies and defaults of originated and purchased unsecured other consumer loans through arrangements with fintech companies and other market place lenders.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
At SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, there were $13.5$14.8 million and $19.2$13.3 million, respectively, in loans reported as TDRs. TDRs are reported as impaired loans in the calendar year of their restructuring and are evaluated to determine whether they should be placed on non-accrual status. In subsequent years, a TDR may be returned to accrual status if it satisfies a minimum performance requirement of six months, however, it will remain classified as impaired. Generally, the Bank requires sustained performance for nine months before returning a TDR to accrual status. Modifications of PCI loans that are accounted for within loan pools in accordance with the accounting standards for PCI loans do not result in the removal of these loans from the pool even if the modifications would otherwise be considered a TDR. Accordingly, as each pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows, modifications of loans within such pools are not considered TDRs. Customers had 0 lease receivables that had been restructured as a TDR as of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.
The following table presents totalCARES Act and certain regulatory agencies recently issued guidance stating certain loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial distress as a result of the economic impacts created by COVID-19 may not be required to be treated as TDRs based onunder U.S GAAP. For COVID-19 related loan typemodifications which met the loan modification criteria under either the CARES Act or the criteria specified by the regulatory agencies, Customers elected to suspend TDR accounting for such loan modifications. At June 30, 2020, commercial and accrual status at September 30, 2019consumer deferments related to COVID-19 were $974.0 million and December 31, 2018. Nonaccrual TDRs are included in the reported amount of total non-accrual loans.

Purchased Credit-Deteriorated Loans
Customers adopted ASC 326 using the threeprospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration that were previously classified as PCI and nine months ended Septemberaccounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the standard, Customers did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. On January 1, 2020, the amortized cost basis of the PCD assets were adjusted to reflect the addition of $0.2 million of the allowance for credit losses on PCD loans and leases. The remaining noncredit discount of $0.3 million, based on the adjusted amortized cost basis, will be accreted into interest income at the effective interest rate as of January 1, 2020. As of June 30, 2019, allowances totaling $3 thousand and $6 thousand, respectively, were recorded on 4 and 9 loans, respectively, that had been modified in TDRs.

Credit Quality Indicators
The ALLLACL represents management's estimate of probableexpected losses in Customers' loans and leases receivable portfolio, excluding commercial mortgage warehouse loans reported at fair value pursuant to a fair value option election.election and PPP loans receivable. Multi-family, commercial and industrial, owner occupied commercial real estate, non-owner occupied commercial real estate, and construction loans are rated based on an internally assigned risk rating system which is assigned at the time of loan origination and reviewed on a periodic, or on an “as needed” basis. Residential real estate loans, manufactured housing and other consumer loans are evaluated based on the payment activity of the loan.
To facilitate the monitoring of credit quality within the multi-family, commercial and industrial, owner occupied commercial real estate, non-owner occupied commercial real estate, and construction loan portfolios, and for purposes of analyzing historical loss rates usedas an input in the determination of the ALLLACL lifetime loss rate model for the respective loan portfolios,C&I portfolio, the Bank utilizes the following categories of risk ratings: pass/satisfactory (includes risk rating 1 through 6), special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss. The risk rating categories, which are derived from standard regulatory rating definitions, are assigned upon initial approval of credit to borrowers and updated periodically thereafter. Pass/satisfactory ratings, which are assigned to those borrowers who do not have identified potential or well-defined weaknesses and for whom there is a high likelihood of orderly repayment, are updated periodically based on the size and credit characteristics of the borrower. All other categories are updated on a quarterly basis during the month preceding the end of the calendar quarter.  While assigning risk ratings involves judgment, the risk-rating process allows management to identify riskier credits in a timely manner and allocate the appropriate resources to manage those loans and leases. The 20182019 Form 10-K describes Customers Bancorp’s risk rating grades.

Table of Contents
Risk ratings are not established for certain consumer loans, including residential real estate, other consumer loans, home equity, manufactured housing, and installment loans, mainly because these portfolios consist of a larger number of homogeneous loans with smaller balances. Instead, these portfolios are evaluated for risk mainly based upon aggregate payment history and through the monitoring of delinquency levels and trends and are classified as performing and non-performing.

Lessee
Customers has operating leases for its branches, LPOs, and administrative offices, with remaining lease terms ranging between 2 months1 month and 87 years. These operating leases comprise substantially all of Customers' obligations in which Customers is the lessee. Most lease agreements consist of initial lease terms ranging between 1 and 5 years, with options to renew the leases or extend the term up to 15 years at Customers' sole discretion. Some operating leases include variable lease payments that are based on an index or rate, such as the CPI. Variable lease payments are not included in the liability or right of use asset and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments are incurred. Customers' operating lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Pursuant to these agreements, Customers does not have any commitments that would meet the definition of a finance lease.
As most of Customers' operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, Customers utilized its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at either the adoption of ASC 842 or the commencement date of the lease, whichever was later, when determining the present value of lease payments. Customers does not present ROU assets and corresponding liabilities for operating leases for fiscal years prior to the adoption

Leased assets under operating leases are carried at amortized cost net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges and are presented in other assets. The depreciation expense of the leased assets is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the leases up to the expected residual value. The expected residual value and, accordingly, the monthly depreciation expense, may change throughout the term of the lease. Operating lease rental income for leased assets is recognized in commercial lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Customers periodically reviews its operating leased assets for impairment. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the operating leased asset exceeds its fair value and is not recoverable. The carrying amount of operating leased assets is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the lease payments and the estimated residual value upon the eventual disposition of the equipment.

NOTE 910 — REGULATORY CAPITAL
The Bank and the Bancorp are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Customers' financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank and the Bancorp must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items, as calculated under the regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
In first quarter 2020, U.S federal banking regulatory agencies permitted banking organizations to phase-in, for regulatory capital purposes, the day-one impact of the new CECL accounting rule on retained earnings over a period of three years. As part of its response to the impact of COVID-19, on March 31, 2020, the U.S. federal banking regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that provided the option to temporarily delay certain effects of CECL on regulatory capital for two years, followed by a three-year transition period. The interim final rule allows banking organizations to delay for two years 100% of the day-one impact of adopting CECL and 25% of the cumulative change in the reported allowance for credit losses since adopting CECL. Customers has elected to adopt the interim final rule, which is reflected in the regulatory capital data presented below.
In April 2020, the U.S. federal banking regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that permits banks to exclude the impact of participating in the SBA PPP program in their regulatory capital ratios. Specifically, PPP loans are zero percent risk weighted and a bank can exclude all PPP loans pledged as collateral to the PPPLF from its average total consolidated assets for purposes of calculating the Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio (i.e. leverage ratio). Customers applied this regulatory guidance in the calculation of its regulatory capital ratios presented below.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank and the Bancorp to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined in the regulations). At SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Bank and the Bancorp satisfied all capital requirements to which they were subject.

The Basel III risk-based capital rules adopted effective January 1, 2015Capital Rules require that banks and holding companieswe maintain a "capital conservation buffer" of 250 basis points in excess of the "minimum capital ratio" or certain elective distributions would be limited. The minimum capital ratio is equal to the prompt corrective action adequately capitalized threshold ratio. The2.500% capital conservation buffer was phased in over four years beginning on Januarywith respect to each of CET1, Tier 1 2016,and total capital to risk-weighted assets, which provides for capital levels that exceed the minimum risk-based capital adequacy requirements. A financial institution with a maximumconservation buffer of 0.625% of risk weighted assets for 2016, 1.250% for 2017, 1.875% for 2018, and 2.500% for 2019 and thereafter.
Effective January 1, 2019, the capital level required to avoid limitation on elective distributions applicable to the Bancorp and the Bank were as follows:
(i) a common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 7.000%;
(ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.500%; and
(iii) a Total risk-based capital ratio of 10.500%.
Failure to maintainless than the required capital conservation buffer will result inamount is subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and onstock repurchases, and certain discretionary bonusesbonus payments to executive officers.

NOTE 1011 — DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Customers uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments. ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of an entity’s assets and liabilities considered to be financial instruments. For Customers, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are considered to be financial instruments. Many of these financial instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and a willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. For fair value disclosure purposes, Customers utilized certain fair value measurement criteria under ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as explained below.
In accordance with ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices.  However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for Customers' various financial instruments.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
36

Table of Contents
The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, focusing on an exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.  If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate.  In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment.  The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
The fair value guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy and describes the following three levels used to classify fair value measurements.
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require adjustments to inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported with little or no market activity).
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of Customers' financial instruments as of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018:2019:
Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Investment securities:
The fair values of equity securities, available-for-saleavailable for sale debt securities and debt securities reported at fair value based on a fair value option election are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized and foreign securities exchanges (Level 1), quoted prices in markets that are not active (Level 2), and matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices, or internally and externally developed models that use unobservable inputs due to limited or no market activity of the instrument (Level 3). These assets are classified as Level 1, 2 or 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
Loans held for sale - residentialResidential mortgage loans (fair value option):
Customers generally estimates the fair values of residential mortgage loans held for sale based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics. These assets are classified as Level 2 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
34

Table of Contents
Loans receivable - commercialCommercial mortgage warehouse loans (fair value option):
The fair value of commercial mortgage warehouse loans is the amount of cash initially advanced to fund the mortgage, plus accrued interest and fees, as specified in the respective agreements. The loan is used by mortgage companies primarily as short-term bridge financing between the funding of the mortgage loans and the finalization of the sale of the loans to an investor. Changes in fair value are not generally expected to be recognized because at inception of the transaction the underlying mortgage loans have already been sold to an approved investor. Additionally, the interest rate is variable, and the transaction is short-term, with an average life of under 30 days from purchase to sale. These assets are classified as Level 2 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
Derivatives (assets and liabilities):
The fair values of interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and credit derivatives are determined using models that incorporate readily observable market data into a market standard methodology. This methodology nets the discounted future cash receipts and the discounted expected cash payments. The discounted variable cash receipts and payments are based on expectations of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, fair value is adjusted for the effect of nonperformance risk by incorporating credit valuation adjustments for Customers and its counterparties. These assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
37

Table of Contents
The fair values of the residential mortgage loan commitments are derived from the estimated fair values that can be generated when the underlying mortgage loan is sold in the secondary market. Customers generally uses commitments on hand from third party investors to estimate an exit price and adjusts for the probability of the commitment being exercised based on the Bank’sCustomers' internal experience (i.e., pull-through rate). These assets and liabilities are classified as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
Derivative assets and liabilities are presented in "Other assets" and "Accrued interest payable and other liabilities" on the consolidated balance sheet.
The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of Customers' fair value in its entirety because fair value calculations are only provided for a limited portion of Customers' assets and liabilities.  Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making these estimates, comparisons between Customers' disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.
Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
ImpairedCollateral-dependent loans:
ImpairedCollateral-dependent loans are those loans that are accounted for under ASC 310, Receivables,326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, in which the Bank has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral or discounted cash flow analysis. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties that collateralize the loans, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds.proceeds, sales agreements or letters of intent with third parties. These assets are generally classified as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
Other real estate owned:
The fair value of OREO is determined by using appraisals, which may be discounted based on management’s review and changes in market conditions or sales agreements with third parties. All appraisals must be performed in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. Appraisals are certified to the Bank and performed by appraisers on the Bank’s approved list of appraisers. Evaluations are completed by a person independent of management. The content of the appraisal depends on the complexity of the property. Appraisals are completed on a “retail value” and an “as is value”. These assets are classified as Level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value as of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 on a recurring and nonrecurring basis for which Customers utilized Level 3 inputs to measure fair value. The unobservable Level 3 inputs noted below contain a level of uncertainty that may differ from what is realized in an immediate settlement of the assets. Therefore, Customers may realize a value higher or lower than the current estimated fair value of the assets. On June 28, 2019, Customers obtained ownership ofThe interest-only GNMA securities that served as the primary collateral for loans made to one commercial mortgage warehouse customer throughare Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a Uniform Commercial Code ("UCC") private sale transaction. On June 28, 2019, Customers elected therecurring basis under a fair value option for theseelection. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, cash settlements of $0.9 million and $1.9 million were applied to the carrying value of the interest-only GNMA securities, acquired on such date. The fair valuenet of these securities atpremium amortization expense. At June 30, 2019 was $17.2 million which reflects the valuation obtained from the third party binding bids obtained through the UCC private sale transaction. At September 30, 20192020, Customers used an internally developed discounted cash flow model to value the interest-only GNMA securities. The significant unobservable input used in the discounted cash flow model includesincluded prepayment speed. Significant increases (decreases) in this input would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

NOTE 1112 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Risk Management Objectives of Using Derivatives
Customers is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. Customers manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and durations of its assets and liabilities. Specifically, Customers enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the valuevalues of which are determined by interest rates. Customers'Customers’ derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of Customers'Customers’ known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain borrowings.borrowings and deposits. Customers also has interest-rate derivatives resulting from a service provided to certain qualifying customers, and therefore, they are not used to manage Customers'Customers’ interest-rate risk in assets or liabilities. Customers manages a matched book with respect to its derivative instruments used in this customer service in order to minimize its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest RateInterest-Rate Risk
Customers'Customers’ objectives in using interest-rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage exposure to interest-rateinterest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, Customers primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for Customers making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCIaccumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged item affects earnings. To date, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the forecasted issuances of debt and a certain variable-rate deposit relationship.
Customers discontinues cash flow hedge accounting if it is probable the forecasted hedged transactions will not occur in the initially identified time period. At such time, the associated gains and losses deferred in AOCIaccumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified immediately into earnings and any subsequent changes in the fair value of such derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.

Table of Contents
Amounts reported in AOCIaccumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on Customers' variable-rate debt and a variable-rate deposit relationship. Customers expects to reclassify $5.8$16.8 million of losses from AOCIaccumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense during the next 12 months.
Customers is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions (3-month FHLB advances)advances and federal funds purchased) and a variable-rate deposit relationship over a maximum period of 5770 months (excluding forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments).
At SeptemberJune 30, 2020, Customers had 5 outstanding interest rate derivatives with notional amounts totaling $1.1 billion that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest-rate risk. At December 31, 2019, Customers had 4 outstanding interest rate derivatives with notional amounts totaling $725.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. At December 31, 2018, Customers had 6 outstanding interest rate derivatives with notional amounts totaling $750.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.rate-risk. The outstanding cash flow hedges at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 expire between June 2021 and July 2024.May 2026.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Customers executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies (typically the loan customers will swap a floating-rate loan for a fixed-rate loan). and interest rate caps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. The customer interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are simultaneously offset by interest rate swaps and interest rate caps that Customers executes with a third party in order to minimize interest rateinterest-rate risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest rate swaps and interest rate caps associated with this program do not meet the hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and caps and the offsetting third-party market swaps and caps are recognized directly in earnings. At SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, Customers had 124158 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $1.2$1.6 billion and 4 interest rate caps with an aggregated notional amount of $76.6 million related to this program. At December 31, 2018,2019, Customers had 98140 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $1.0$1.4 billion and 4 interest rate caps with an aggregate notional amount of $78.6 million related to this program.
Customers enters into residential mortgage loan commitments in connection with its consumer mortgage banking activities to fund mortgage loans at specified rates and times in the future. These commitments are short-term in nature and generally expire in 30 to 60 days. The residential mortgage loan commitments that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be held for sale are considered derivative instruments under the applicable accounting guidance and are reported at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded directly in earnings. At SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, Customers had an outstanding notional balance of residential mortgage loan commitments of $7.6$3.6 million and $3.6$4.5 million, respectively.
Customers has also purchased and sold credit derivatives to either hedge or participate in the performance risk associated with some of its counterparties. These derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments and are reported at fair value, with changes in fair value recordedreported directly in earnings. At SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, Customers had outstanding notional balances of credit derivatives of $114.9$171.3 million and $94.9$167.1 million, respectively.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
By entering into derivative contracts, Customers is exposed to credit risk. The credit risk associated with derivatives executed with customers is the same as that involved in extending the related loans and is subject to the same standard credit policies. To mitigate the credit-risk exposure to major derivative dealer counterparties, Customers only enters into agreements with those counterparties that maintain credit ratings of high quality.
Agreements with major derivative dealer counterparties contain provisions whereby default on any of Customers' indebtedness would be considered a default on its derivative obligations. Customers also has entered into agreements that contain provisions under which the counterparty could require Customers to settle its obligations if Customers fails to maintain its status as a well/adequately capitalized institution. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position (which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk)nonperformance-risk) related to these agreements was $58.4$127.7 million. In addition, Customers, which has collateral posting thresholds with certain of these counterparties, and at September 30, 2019, had posted $57.8$124.6 million of cash as collateral.collateral at June 30, 2020.

NOTE 1213 — BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Customers'Customers’ segment financial reporting reflects the manner in which its chief operating decision makers allocate resources and assess performance. Management has determined that Customers'Customers’ operations consist of 2 reportable segments - Customers Bank Business Banking and BankMobile. Each segment generates revenues, manages risk, and offers distinct products and services to targeted customers through different delivery channels. The strategy, marketing and analysis of these segments vary considerably.
The Customers Bank Business Banking segment is delivered predominately to commercial customers in Southeastern Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Washington, D.C., and Illinois through a single-point-of-contact business model and provides liquidity to residential mortgage originators nationwide through commercial loans to mortgage companies. Lending and deposit gathering activities are focused primarily on privately held businesses, high-net-worth families, selected commercial real estate lending, commercial mortgage companies, and equipment finance. Revenues are generated primarily through net interest income (the difference between interest earned on loans and leases, investments, and other interest earning assets and interest paid on deposits and other borrowed funds) and other non-interest income, such as mortgage warehouse transactional fees and BOLI.
The BankMobile segment provides state-of-the-art high-tech digital banking and disbursement services to consumers, students, and the "under banked" nationwide, along with "Banking as a Service" offerings with white label partners. BankMobile is a full-service fintech banking platform that is accessible to customers anywhere and anytime through the customer's smartphone or other web-enabled device. Revenues are currently being generated primarily through interest income on other consumer loans, interchange and card revenue, deposit and wire transfer fees and university fees. The majority of expenses for BankMobile are related to the segment's operation of the

NOTE 1415 — LOSS CONTINGENCIES

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are any such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements that are not currently accrued for. However, in light of the uncertainties inherent in these matters, it is possible that the ultimate resolution may have a material adverse effect on Customers’ results of operations for a particular period, and future changes in circumstances or additional information could result in accruals or resolution in excess of established accruals, which could adversely affect Customers’ results of operations, potentially materially.
Halbreiner Matter
On December 16, 2016, Elizabeth Halbreiner and Robert Halbreiner (“Plaintiffs”) filed a Second Amended Complaint captioned Elizabeth Halbreiner and Robert Halbreiner, v.

The Court has dismissed certain counts and determined to allow certain other counts to proceed. Customers Bank intends to vigorously defend itself against these allegations but is currently unable to predict the outcome of this lawsuit and therefore cannot determine the likelihood of loss nor estimate a range of possible loss.
United States Department of Education Matter
In third quarter 2018, Customers received a FPRDFinal Program Review Determination ("FPRD") letter dated September 5, 2018 from the DOE regarding a focused program review of Higher One's/Customers Bank's administration, as a third party servicer, of the programs authorized pursuant to Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965. The DOE program review covered the award years beginning in 2013 through the FPRD issuance date, including the time period when Higher One was acting as the third party servicer prior to Customers' acquisition of the Disbursement business on June 15, 2016. The FPRD determined that, with respect to students enrolled at specified partner institutions, Higher One/Customers did not provide convenient fee-free access to ATMs or bank branch offices in such locations as required by the DOE’s cash management regulations. Those regulations, which were in effect during the period covered by the program review and were revised during that period, seek, among other purposes, to ensure that students can make fee-free cash withdrawals.  The FPRD determined that students incurred prohibited costs in accessing Title IV credit balance funds, and the FPRD classifies those costs as financial liabilities of Customers. The FPRD also requires Customers to take prospective action to increase ATM access for students at certain of its partner institutions. Customers disagreesdisagreed with the FPRD and has elected to appeal the FPRD, includingappealed the asserted financial liabilities of $6.5 million, and a request for review has been submitted to trigger an administrative process before the DOE’s Office of Hearing and Appeals.
On March 26, 2020, the DOE and Customers intendsfiled a Joint Motion to vigorously defend itself againstDismiss with Prejudice (the "Joint Motion") with the financialUnited States Department of Education. The Joint Motion states that the DOE and Customers reached an agreement that resolves the liabilities establishedat issue in the appeal. The Joint Motion was granted on April 27, 2020. As part of the settlement, the liabilities assessed in the FPRD through that administrative appeals process and it further intends to pursue resolution of the FPRD’s prospective action requirements during the appeals resolution process. Based on preliminary discussions with the DOE and further analysis performed by Customers and certain partner institutions, Customers has estimated the range of possible loss to be $1.0 millionwere reduced to $3.0 million as of September 30, 2019.

Overview
Like most financial institutions, Customers derives the majority of its income from interest it receives on its interest-earning assets, such as loans, leases and investments. Customers' primary source of funds for making these loans, leases and investments are its deposits and borrowings, on which it pays interest. Consequently, one of the key measures of Customers' success is the amount of its net interest income, or the difference between the income on its interest-earning assets and the expense on its interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Another key measure is the difference between the interest income generated by interest earning assets and the interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, relative to the amount of average interest earning assets, which is referred to as net interest margin.
BankMobile, a division of Customers Bank, derives a majority of its revenue from interest income on other consumer loans, interchange and card revenue and deposit fees.

Table of Contents
There is credit risk inherent in loans and leases requiring Customers to maintain an ACL to absorb credit losses on existing loans and leases that may become uncollectible. Customers maintains this allowance by charging a provision for credit losses on loan and lease losses against its operating earnings. Customers has included a detailed discussion of this process, as well as several tables describing its ACL, in NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION and NOTE 7 - LOANS AND LEASES RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS AND LEASES to Customers' unaudited quarterly financial statements.

Impact of COVID-19

In March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The spread of COVID-19 has created a global public health crisis that has resulted in unprecedented uncertainty, volatility and disruption in financial markets and in governmental, commercial and consumer activity in the United States and globally, including the markets that Customers serves. Governmental responses to the pandemic have included orders closing businesses not deemed essential and directing individuals to restrict their movements, observe social distancing and shelter in place. These actions, together with responses to the pandemic by businesses and individuals, have resulted in rapid decreases in commercial and consumer activity, temporary closures of many businesses that have led to a loss of revenues and a rapid increase in unemployment, material decreases in oil and gas prices and in business valuations, disrupted global supply chains, market downturns and volatility, changes in consumer behavior related to pandemic fears, related emergency response legislation and an expectation that Federal Reserve policy will maintain a low interest rate environment for the foreseeable future.

Customers has taken deliberate actions to ensure that it has the necessary balance sheet strength to serve its clients and communities, including increases in liquidity and reserves supported by a strong capital position. Customers' business and consumer customers are experiencing varying degrees of financial distress, which is expected to continue in coming months. In order to protect the health of its customers and team members, and to comply with applicable government directives, Customers has modified its business practices, including restricting team member travel, directing team members to work from home insofar as is possible and implementing its business continuity plans and protocols to the extent necessary. Customers also has made donations that have resulted in more than $1 million, either directly or indirectly, to communities in its footprint for urgent basic needs and has been re-targeting existing sponsorship and grants to non-profit organizations to support COVID-19 related activities.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act was signed into law. It contains substantial tax and spending provisions intended to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act includes the SBA Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), a nearly $350 billion program designed to aid small- and medium-sized businesses through federally guaranteed loans distributed through banks. These loans are intended to guarantee an eight-week or 24-week period of payroll and other costs to help those businesses remain viable and allow their workers to pay their bills. On April 16, 2020, the SBA announced that all available funds had been exhausted and applications were no longer being accepted. As of that date, Customers had obtained approvals for approximately 1,267 clients totaling approximately $385 million in approved PPP loans. On April 22, 2020, an additional $310 billion of funds for the PPP was signed into law. As of June 30, 2020, Customers has helped thousands of small businesses by originating about $4.8 billion in PPP loans directly or through fintech partnerships.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Customers has also implemented a short-term loan modification program to provide temporary payment relief to certain of its borrowers who meet the program's qualifications. This program allows for a deferral of payments for a maximum of 90 days at a time. The deferred payments along with interest accrued during the deferral period are due and payable on the maturity date of the existing loan. Through July 24, 2020, total commercial deferments declined to less than $700 million, or down to about 8.0%, from a peak of $1.2 billion and total consumer deferments declined to $60 million, or 3.7%, from a peak of $108 million.

The FRB has taken a range of actions to support the flow of credit to households and businesses. For example, on March 15, 2020, the FRB reduced the target range for the federal funds rate to 0 to 0.25% and announced that it would increase its holdings of U.S. Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities and begin purchasing agency commercial mortgage-backed securities. The FRB has also encouraged depository institutions to borrow from the discount window and has lowered the primary credit rate for such borrowing by 150 basis points while extending the term of such loans up to 90 days. Reserve requirements have been reduced to zero as of March 26, 2020. The FRB has also established, or has taken steps to establish, a range of facilities and programs to support the U.S. economy and U.S. marketplace participants in response to economic disruptions associated with COVID-19, including among others, Main Street Lending facilities to purchase loan participations, under specified conditions, from banks lending to small and medium U.S. businesses and the PPPLF, which was created to bolster the effectiveness of the PPP by taking loans as collateral at face value. While Customers has not participated in all of these facilities or programs to date, it may participate in some or all of these facilities or programs, including as a lender, agent, or intermediary on behalf of clients or customers at various times in the future. As of June 30, 2020, Customers borrowed $4.4 billion from the PPPLF to fund the origination of about $4.8 billion of PPP loans.

Table of Contents
Significant uncertainties as to future economic conditions exist, and Customers has taken deliberate actions in response, including higher levels of on-balance sheet liquidity and maintaining strong capital ratios. Additionally, the economic pressures, coupled with the implementation of an expected lifetime loss methodology for determining our provision for credit losses as required by CECL have contributed to an increased provision for credit losses on loans and leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures in 2020. Customers continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 closely, as well as any effects that may result from the CARES Act; however, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact Customers' operations and financial results during the remainder of 2020 is highly uncertain.
New Accounting Pronouncements
For information about the impact that recently adopted, including CECL, or issued accounting guidance will have on us, please refer to NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION to Customers' interim unaudited financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Customers has adopted various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of AmericaU.S. GAAP and that are consistent with general practices within the banking industry in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Customers' significant accounting policies are described in “NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION” in Customers' audited financial statements included in its 20182019 Form 10-K and updated in this Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 in “NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION."
Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by Customers that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities.assets. Customers considers these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgment and assumptions used are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions management makes, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates, which could have a material impact on the carrying values of Customers' assetsassets.
The critical accounting policies that are both important to the portrayal of Customers' financial condition and liabilitiesresults of operations and require complex, subjective judgments are the accounting policies for the following: ACL and the Valuation of Interest-Only GNMA Securities. These critical accounting policies and material estimates, along with the related disclosures, are reviewed by Customers' Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Customers' ACL at June 30, 2020 represents Customers' current estimate of the lifetime credit losses expected from its loan and lease portfolio and its resultsunfunded lending-related commitments that are not unconditionally cancellable. Management estimates the ACL by projecting a lifetime loss rate conditional on a forecast of operations.economic parameters and other qualitative adjustments, for the loans and leases' expected remaining term.
Overview
Customers' strategic priorities include creating shareholder value through improved profitability, targeting a core return on average assetsCustomers uses external sources in the creation of 1.25% or higherits forecasts, including current economic conditions and a double-digit return on tangible common equityforecasts for macroeconomic variables over its reasonable and supportable forecast period (e.g., GDP growth rate, unemployment rate, BBB spread, commercial real estate and home price index). After the reasonable and supportable forecast period, which ranges from two to five years, the models revert the forecasted macroeconomic variables to their historical long-term trends, without specific predictions for the economy, over the next 2 - 3 years. Favorable shiftsexpected life of the pool, while also incorporating prepayment assumptions into its lifetime loss rates. Internal factors that impact the quarterly allowance estimate include the level of outstanding balances, portfolio performance and assigned risk ratings. Significant loan/borrower attributes utilized in assetthe models include property type, initial loan to value, assigned risk ratings, delinquency status, origination date, maturity date, initial FICO scores, and funding mix resultedborrower state.

The ACL may be affected materially by a variety of qualitative factors that Customers considers to reflect its current judgement of various events and risks that are not measured in our statistical procedures, including uncertainty related to the economic forecasts used in the modeled credit loss estimates, nature and volume, credit underwriting policy exceptions, peer comparison, industry data, and model and data limitations. The qualitative allowance for economic forecast risk is further informed by multiple alternative scenarios to arrive at a composite scenario supporting the period-end ACL balance. The evaluation process is inherently imprecise and subjective as it requires significant NIM expansion overmanagement judgment based on underlying factors that are susceptible to changes, sometimes materially and rapidly. Customers recognizes that this approach may not be suitable in certain economic environments such that additional analysis may be performed at management's discretion. Due in part to its subjectivity, the past twelve monthsqualitative evaluation may be materially impacted during periods of economic uncertainty and arelate breaking events that could lead to revision of reserves to reflect management's best estimate of expected to drive further NIM expansioncredit losses.

The ACL is established in fourthaccordance with our ACL policy. The ACL Committee, which includes the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Risk Officer, and Chief Credit Officer, among others, reviews the adequacy of the ACL each quarter, 2019, resulting in an expected full-year 2019 NIM of 2.70% or higher. Superior expensetogether with Customers' risk management combined with cost saving initiativesteam. The ACL policy, significant judgements and the related disclosures are reviewed by Customers' Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

The significant increase in our estimated ACL as of June 30, 2020 as compared to our January 1, 2020 estimate was primarily attributable to the significant economic impact of COVID-19, along with loan growth and maturity of BankMobile are also expected to enhance profitability. Total assets at year-end 2019 are expected to be under $10 billion, while the average balance of interest-earning assets for 2019 is expected to be comparable to 2018 average interest-earning assets. Customers intends to continue to de-emphasize its multi-family loan portfolio through a planned sale of approximately $500 million of multi-family loans and continued expected run-off of $300 million or more in fourth quarter 2019. Customers will continue to invest in higher-yieldingCustomers' commercial and industrial and other consumer loan portfolios. Similarly, Customers plans to replace higher-rate non-core deposits and borrowings with less expensive core deposits.

On April 18, 2019, the partner made a public announcement regarding the partnership and began the first phase of national digital marketing efforts. At September 30, 2019, the partnership had generated $67.5 million in total deposits.
Third Quarter Events of Note
Customers reported record net income available to common shareholders of $23.5 million, or $0.74 per diluted share,ACL for the three months and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019. NIM expanded 19 basis points to 2.83% in third quarter 2019, which marks Customers' fourth consecutive quarter2020 was $20.4 million and $53.1 million, with an ending balance of NIM expansion from the trough of 2.47% reported in third quarter 2018. BankMobile also reached profitability one quarter earlier than expected, with earnings of $0.7 million (or $0.02 per diluted share) and is expected to remain profitable in fourth quarter 2019 and in 2020. The return on average assets was 0.95% in third quarter 2019, up significantly from 0.36% in second quarter 2019 and 0.22% in third quarter 2018. The return on average common equity was 11.81% in third quarter 2019, up significantly from 2.96% in second quarter 2019 and 1.31% in third quarter 2018. Total deposits also increased $412 million, or 4.8%, year-over-year, which included a $538 million, or 24.8%, increase in demand deposits. On September 25, 2019, Customers Bancorp issued $25 million of 5-year senior notes at a rate of 4.50%, the net proceeds of which were contributed to Customers Bank as Tier 1 capital.
The third quarter 2019 financial results included certain notable charges, including legal contingency accruals totaling $2.0$163.7 million ($0.05 per diluted share) relating to the previously disclosed Halbreiner and United States Department of Education matters. The legal contingency accruals were offset by a $1.0159.9 million ($0.02 per diluted share) gain realized from the sale of $95 million of available-for-sale corporate note securities and $1.3 million ($0.04 per diluted share) unrealized gains from fair value adjustments on investment securities.
Total assets were $11.7 billion at September 30, 2019, an increase of $1.9 billion from December 31, 2018. The increase in total assets was primarily driven by a $1.7 billion increase in total loans and leases. Mortgage warehouse loans, at fair value, increased $1.0 billion, or 73.5%, commercial and industrial loans (including owner occupied commercial real estate) increased $412.3 million, or 21.1%, commercial real estate non-owner occupied loans increased $143.5 million, or 12.7%, residential real estate loans increased $63.8 million, or 11.2%, and other consumer loans increased $569.5 million, or 769%. As planned, multi-family loans decreased $485.3 million, or 14.8%. Total asset growth reflected a stronger-than-expected seasonal increase in mortgage warehouse loans in third quarter 2019 primarily resulting from increased refinancing activity caused by a decline in market rates on mortgages. Total assets are still expected to be less than $10 billion at year-end and approximately $500 million of multi-family loans have been reclassified to held for sale at September 30, 2019 and additional run-off of the multifamily portfolio of $300 million or more is expected in fourth quarter 2019. The natural contraction in mortgage warehouse balances during the fourth quarter combined with residential mortgage loan run-off or possible sale is expected to bring total assets below $10 billion.
Asset quality remains strong with NPLs of $17.6 million, or 0.17% of total loans and leases and total non-performing assets (NPLs$3.8 million for unfunded lending-related commitments) as of June 30, 2020.

To determine the ACL as of June 30, 2020, Customers utilized the Moody's June 2020 Baseline forecast to generate its modelled expected losses and OREO) only 0.15%considered Moody's other alternative economic forecast scenarios to qualitatively adjust the modelled ACL by loan portfolio in order to reflect management's reasonable expectations of total assets at September 30, 2019, reflectingcurrent and future economic conditions. The Baseline forecast assumed a deep recession in second quarter 2020, which included a significant drop in GDP and elevated unemployment compared to the first quarter 2020 forecast for current market conditions, followed by a strong recovery in the second half of 2020. The qualitative adjustment considered a more optimistic scenario that aligned with management's expectation of expected credit losses that resulted in a reduction to the modelled ACL. Customers continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related policy measures on the economy and, if the depth of the recession or pace of the expected recovery is worse than expected, further meaningful provisions for credit losses could be required.

There is no certainty that Customers' disciplined lending practicesACL will be appropriate over time to cover losses in our portfolio as economic and continued focusmarket conditions may ultimately differ from our reasonable and supportable forecast. Additionally, events adversely affecting specific customers, industries, or Customers' markets, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, could severely impact our current expectations. If the credit quality of Customers' customer base materially deteriorates or the risk profile of a market, industry, or group of customers changes materially, Customers' net income and capital could be materially adversely affected which, in turn could have a material adverse effect on credit risk management.

Net interest income increased $27.3 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018. This increase primarily resulted from an increase in2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 as average interest-earning assets of $348.3 millionincreased by $4.1 billion and NIM expansion of 36expanded by one basis pointspoint to 2.83%2.65% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 from 2.47%2.64% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018 as2019 resulting from the Federal Reserve interest rate cuts of 225 basis points beginning in August 2019 and the shift in the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities drove a 4896 basis point increasedecline in the yield on interest-earningsinterest-earning assets and a 124 basis point decline in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, partially offset2020.

funding costs asinterest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities was the origination of $4.8 billion ($2.8 billion average balance) in PPP loans yielding 1.71% and related PPPLF borrowings of $4.4 billion ($0.9 billion average balance) costing 0.35%. Customers' total cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 20 basis pointsfunds, including non-interest bearing deposits was 0.99% and 2.04% for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019. Compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, total loan yields increased 41 basis points to 4.79% mostly due to the purchase of other consumer loans totaling $534.2 million during the nine months ended September 30,2020 and 2019, an increase of 59 basis points in the yield on other consumer loans, and an increase of 41 basis points in the yield on commercial and industrial loans. Total investment securities yields increased 30 basis points to 3.60% mostly due to the sale of $495 million of lower-yielding securities during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Given the Federal Reserve interest rate hikes in 2018 and the associated increases in market interest rates, which were partially offset by two Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in Q3 2019, the cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 25 basis points to 2.20% and borrowing costs increased 12 basis points to 2.86% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Customers' total costs of deposits (including interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing) were 1.82% and 1.67% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, an increase of 15 basis points.respectively.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $199.7 million, an increase of $3.4 million, or 1.7%, from net interest income of $196.4increased $49.3 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018. This increase primarily resulted2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 as average interest-earning assets increased by $2.9 billion and NIM expanded by 18 basis points to 2.80% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from an eleven2.62% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, resulting from the Federal Reserve interest rate cuts of 225 basis points beginning in August 2019 and the shift in the mix of interest-earning assets drove a 45 basis point expansion of NIM to 2.69%, partially offset by a decrease of $240.8 million in average interest-earning assets. The NIM expansion largely resulted from a 44 basis point increasedecline in the yield on interest-earninginterest-earnings assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, partially offset by higher funding costs asand an 83 basis point decline in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The largest shift in the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities was the origination of $4.8 billion ($1.4 billion average balance) in PPP loans yielding 1.71% and related PPPLF borrowings of $4.4 billion ($0.5 billion average balance) costing 0.35%. Customers' total cost of funds, including non-interest bearing deposits was 1.30% and 2.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Customers’ net interest margin tables contain non-GAAP financial measures calculated using non-GAAP amounts. These measures include net interest margin tax equivalent and net interest margin tax equivalent, excluding PPP loans. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to present the current period presentation to historical periods in prior filings. In addition, management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures provides additional clarity when assessing the Bancorp’s financial results. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for results determined to be in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other entities.

Credit Risk
Customers manages credit risk by maintaining diversification in its loan and lease portfolio, establishing and enforcing prudent underwriting standards and collection efforts, and continuous and periodic loan and lease classification reviews. Management also considers the effect of credit risk on financial performance by reviewing quarterly and maintaining an adequate ALLL.ACL. Credit losses are charged-off when they are identified, and provisions are added when it is estimated that a loss has occurred, to the ALLLACL at least quarterly. The ALLLACL is estimated at least quarterly.

The ALLLACL is based on a quarterly evaluation of the loan and lease portfolio and is maintained at a level that management considers adequate to absorb probableexpected lifetime credit losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. All commercial loans, with the exception of PPP loans and commercial mortgage warehouse loans, which are reported at fair value, are assigned internal credit-risk ratings, based upon an assessment of the borrower, the structure of the transaction and the available collateral and/or guarantees. All loans and leases are monitored regularly by the responsible officer, and the risk ratings are adjusted when considered appropriate. The risk assessment allows

Table of Contents
management to identify problem loans and leases timely. Management considers a variety of factors and recognizes the inherent risk of loss that always exists in the lending process. Management uses a disciplined methodology to estimate an appropriate level of ALLL.ACL. Refer to Critical Accounting Policies herein and NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION to Customers' interim unaudited financial statements for Customers' adoption of CECL, also, refer to NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION to Customers' audited financial statements in its 20182019 Form 10-K for further discussion on management's prior incurred loss methodology for estimating the ALLL.
Approximately 75% of Customers' commercial real estate, commercial and residential construction, consumer residential and commercial and industrial loan types have real estate as collateral (collectively, “the real estate portfolio”), primarily in the form of a first lien position. Current appraisals providing current value estimates of the property are received when Customers' credit group determines that the facts and circumstances have significantly changed since the date of the last appraisal, including that real estate values have deteriorated. The credit committee and loan officers review loans that are 15 or more days delinquent and all non-accrual loans on a periodic basis. In addition, loans where the loan officers have identified a “borrower of interest” are discussed to determine if additional analysis is necessary to apply the risk-rating criteria properly. The risk ratings for the real estate loan portfolio are determined based upon the current information available, including but not limited to discussions with the borrower, updated financial information, economic conditions within the geographic area and other factors that may affect the cash flow of the loan. If a loan is individually evaluated for impairment, the collateral value or discounted cash flow analysis is generally used to determine the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated selling costs, and compared to the outstanding loan balance to determine the amount of reserve necessary, if any. Appraisals used in this evaluation process are typically less than two years aged. For loans where real estate is not the primary source of collateral, updated financial information is obtained, including accounts receivable and inventory aging reports and relevant supplemental financial data to estimate the fair value of the loan, net of estimated selling costs, and compared to the outstanding loan balance to estimate the required reserve.

These impairment measurements are inherently subjective as they require material estimates, including, among others, estimates of property values in appraisals, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on individual loans, and general considerations for historical loss experience, economic conditions, uncertainties in estimating losses and inherent risks in the various credit portfolios, all of which require judgment and may be susceptible to significant change over time and as a result of changing economic conditions or other factors. Pursuant to ASC 310-10-35 Loan Impairment and ASC 310-40 Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, impaired326, individually assessed loans, consisting primarily of non-accrual and restructured loans, are considered in the methodology for determining the ALLL. ImpairedACL. Individually assessed loans are generally evaluated based on the expected future cash flows or the fair value of the underlying collateral (less estimated costs to sell) if principal repayment is expected to come from the saleoperation or operationsale of such collateral. Shortfalls in the underlying collateral value for loans or leases determined to be collateral dependent are charged off immediately. Subsequent to an appraisal or other fair value estimate, management will assess whether there was a further decline in the value of the collateral based on changes in market conditions or property use that would require additional impairment to be recorded to reflect the particular situation, thereby increasing the ACL on loans and leases.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY
The Bank and Customers Bancorp are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Customers' financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank and Bancorp must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items, as calculated under the regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
In first quarter 2020, U.S federal banking regulatory agencies permitted banking organizations to phase-in, for regulatory capital purposes, the day-one impact of the new CECL accounting rule on retained earnings over a period of three years. As part of its response to the impact of COVID-19, on March 31, 2020, the U.S. federal banking regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that provided the option to temporarily delay certain effects of CECL on regulatory capital for two years, followed by a three-year transition period. The interim final rule allows banking organizations to delay for two years 100% of the day-one impact of adopting CECL and 25% of the cumulative change in the reported allowance for credit losses since adopting CECL. Customers has elected to adopt the interim final rule, which is reflected in the regulatory capital data presented below.
In April 2020, the U.S. federal banking regulatory agencies issued an interim final rule that permits banks to exclude the impact of participating in the SBA PPP program in their regulatory capital ratios. Specifically, PPP loans are zero percent risk weighted and a bank can exclude all PPP loans pledged as collateral to the PPPLF from its average total consolidated assets for purposes of calculating the Tier 1 capital to average assets ratio (i.e. leverage ratio). Customers applied this regulatory guidance in the calculation of its regulatory capital ratios presented below.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank and the Bancorp to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined in the regulations). At SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Bank and the Bancorp met all capital adequacy requirements to which they were subject.

Generally, to comply with the regulatory definition of adequately capitalized, or well capitalized, respectively, or to comply with the Basel III capital requirements, an institution must at least maintain the common equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and total risk-based capital ratios and the Tier 1 leverage ratio in excess of the related minimum ratios set forth in the following table:

The capital ratios above reflect the capital requirements under "Basel III" adopted effective first quarter 2015 and the capital conservation buffer phased in beginning January 1, 2016. Failure to maintain the required capital conservation buffer will result in limitations on capital distributions and on discretionary bonuses to executive officers. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the Bank and Customers Bancorp were in compliance with the Basel III requirements. See "NOTE 910 - REGULATORY CAPITAL" to Customers' unaudited financial statements for additional discussion regarding regulatory capital requirements.


OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Customers is involved with financial instruments and other commitments with off-balance sheet risks.  Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks are incurred in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of the Bank's customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, including unused portions of lines of credit, and standby letters of credit.  Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet.

Table of Contents
With commitments to extend credit, exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  The same credit policies are used in making commitments and

conditional obligations as for on-balance sheet instruments.  Because they involve credit risk similar to extending a loan orand lease, commitments to extend creditthese financial instruments are subject to the Bank’s credit policy and other underwriting standards.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the following off-balance sheet commitments, financial instruments and other arrangements were outstanding:

Commitments to fund loans and leases, unfunded commitments to fund mortgage warehouse loans, unfunded commitments under lines of credit, letters of credit, and credit cards are agreements to extend credit to or for the benefit of a customer in the ordinary course of the Bank's business.
Commitments to fund loans and leases and unfunded commitments under lines of credit may be obligations of the Bank as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Because many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if the Bank deems it necessary upon extension of credit, is based upon management’s credit evaluation.  Collateral held varies but may include personal or commercial real estate, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.
Mortgage warehouse loan commitments are agreements to fund the pipelines of mortgage banking businesses from closing of individual mortgage loans until their sale into the secondary market. Most of the individual mortgage loans are insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government through one of its programs such as FHA, VA, or are conventional loans eligible for sale to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These commitments generally fluctuate monthly based on changes in interest rates, refinance activity, new home sales and laws and regulation.
Outstanding letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Letters of credit may obligate the Bank to fund draws under those letters of credit whether or not a customer continues to meet the conditions of the extension of credit. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan and lease facilities to customers.
Effect of Government Monetary Policies
Our earnings are and will be affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies. An important function of the Federal Reserve Board is to regulate the money supply and interest rates. Among the instruments used to implement those objectives are open market operations in United States government securities and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These instruments are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans and leases, investments, and deposits, and their use may also affect rates charged on loans and leases or paid for deposits.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Sensitivity
The largest component of Customers' net income is net interest income, and the majority of its financial instruments are interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities with various term structures and maturities.  One of the primary objectives of management is to optimize net interest income while minimizing interest rate risk.  Interest rate risk is derived from timing differences in the repricing of assets and liabilities, loan prepayments, deposit withdrawals and differences in lending and funding rates.  Customers' asset/liability committee actively seeks to monitor and control the mix of interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities.
Customers uses two complementary methods to analyze and measure interest rate sensitivity as part of the overall management of interest rate risk; they are income simulationscenario modeling and estimates of EVE.  The combination of these two methods provides a
74

Table of Contents
reasonably comprehensive summary of the levels of interest rate risk of Customers' exposure to time factors and changes in interest rate environments.
82

Table of Contents
Income simulationscenario modeling is used to measure interest rate sensitivity and manage interest rate risk.  Income simulationscenario considers not only the impact of changing market interest rates upon forecasted net interest income but also other factors such as yield-curve relationships, the volume and mix of assets and liabilities, customer preferences and general market conditions.
Through the use of income simulationscenario modeling, Customers has estimated the net interest income for the periods ending SeptemberJune 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, based upon the assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments in existence at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019. Customers has also estimated changes to that estimated net interest income based upon interest rates rising or falling immediately (“rate shocks”). For upward rate shocks modeling a rising rate environment at June 30, 2020, current market interest rates were increased immediately by 100, 200, and 300 basis points. For downward rate shocks modeling a falling rate environment, current market rates were only decreased immediately by 100 and 200 basis points due to the limitations of the current low interest rate environment that renders the Down 200 and Down 300 rate shocks impractical. The downward rate shocks modeled will be revisited in the future if necessary and will be contingent upon additional Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. The following table reflects the estimated percentage change in estimated net interest income for the periods ending SeptemberJune 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, resulting from changes in interest rates.
Net change in net interest income

The net changes in net interest income in all scenarios are within Customers Bank's interest rate risk policy guidelines.
EVE estimates the discounted present value of asset and liability cash flows. Discount rates are based upon market prices for comparable assets and liabilities. Upward and downward rate shocks are used to measure volatility of EVE in relation to a constant rate environment. For upward rate shocks modeling a rising rate environment at June 30, 2020, current market interest rates were were only increased immediately by 100, 200, and 300 basis points. For downward rate shocks modeling a falling rate environment, current market rates were decreased immediately by 100 and 200 basis points due to the limitations of the current low interest rate environment that renders the Down 200 and Down 300 rate shocks impractical. The downward rate shocks modeled will be revisited in the future if necessary and will be contingent upon additional Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. This method of measurement primarily evaluates the longer term repricing risks and options in Customers Bank’s balance sheet. The following table reflects the estimated EVE at risk and the ratio of EVE to EVE adjusted assets at SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, resulting from shocks to interest rates.

The net changes in EVE in all scenarios are within Customers Bank's interest rate risk policy guidelines.
Management believes that the assumptions and combination of methods utilized in evaluating estimated net interest income are reasonable. However, the interest rate sensitivity of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments, as well as the estimated effect of changes in interest rates on estimated net interest income, could vary substantially if different assumptions are used or actual experience differs from the assumptions used in the model.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” included within the 20182019 Form 10-K. There are no material changes from the risk factors included within the 20182019 Form 10-K, other than the riskrisks described below. The risks described within the 20182019 Form 10-K and below are not the only risks facing us.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.  See “Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Our New York State multi-family loan portfolio couldThe COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our business, and the ultimate impact on our business and financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be adversely impacted by changes in legislation or regulation.
On June 14, 2019,predicted, including the New York State legislature passed the Housing Stabilityscope and Tenant Protection Act of 2019, impacting about one million rent regulated apartment units. Among other things, the new legislation: (i) curtails rent increases from Material Capital Improvements and Individual Apartment Improvements; (ii) all but eliminates the ability for apartments to exit rent regulation; (iii) does away with vacancy decontrol and high-income deregulation; and (iv) repealed the 20% vacancy bonus. While it is too early to measure the full impactduration of the legislation,pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in total, it generally limits a landlord's abilityresponse to increase rents on rent regulated apartmentsthe pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility and makes it more difficult to convert rent regulated apartments to market rate apartments.disruption in financial markets, and increased unemployment levels. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses and the institution of social distancing and sheltering in place requirements in many states and communities. As a result, the demand for our products and services may be significantly impacted. Furthermore, the pandemic has influenced and could further influence the recognition of credit losses in our loan and lease portfolios and has increased and could further increase our allowance for credit losses, particularly as businesses remain closed and as more customers may draw on their lines of credit or seek additional loans to help finance their businesses. Similarly, because of changing economic and market conditions affecting issuers, the securities we hold may lose value. Our business operations may also be disrupted if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic. In response to the pandemic, we have also enacted hardship relief assistance for customers experiencing financial difficulty as a result of COVID-19, including fee and penalty waivers, loan deferrals or other scenarios that may help our customers. In addition, we are a lender for the Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") and other SBA, Federal Reserve or United States Treasury programs that have been or may be created in the future in response to the pandemic. These programs are new and their effects on Customers' business are uncertain. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect the economy, and/or adversely affects our business, results of operations or financial condition, it may also have the effect of increasing the likelihood and/or magnitude of other risks described in the section captioned "Risk Factors" in our 2019 Form 10-K, including those risks related to business operations, industry/market, our securities and credit, or risks described in our other filings with the SEC.

Risks Related to the Proposed Sale of BankMobile Technologies to Megalith Financial Acquisition Corp.

We face a number of risks relating to our announced plans to sell BankMobile Technologies.
We have announced our plans to dispose of the technology arm of our BankMobile business through a merger transaction through which Megalith Financial Acquisition Corp. (“MFAC”), a special purpose acquisition company, will acquire the Bank’s subsidiary, BankMobile Technologies, Inc. (“BMT”). The completion of the merger will be subject to a number of conditions, including receipt by MFAC of stockholder approval of the transaction, receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, MFAC meeting certain net tangible assets and minimum cash requirements and other conditions. Certain of the conditions will not be within our control, and we cannot guarantee you that we will be able to complete the merger on the terms we have agreed to with MFAC, or at all. The steps we take to complete this transaction may adversely affect our business and the value of Customers and/or BMT. Uncertainty as to our ability to complete the transaction and uncertainty as to the timing of the completion of the transaction may adversely affect analyst and shareholder views of our business and prospects, which could adversely affect our share price. Executing the merger may also result in the diversion of our management’s attention from Customers’ day-to-day operations generally, and the expenses we incur in executing the transaction may exceed our expectations, which may adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, even if we are successful
85

Table of Contents
in completing the sale of BMT, it is possible that we and our shareholders may not receive the benefits we presently anticipate from this transaction.

Failure to complete the proposed sale of BMT could negatively impact our share price, our future business and financial results.
We cannot assure you that our proposed sale of BMT will be completed in the time frame we currently anticipate, or at all. If we do not complete the proposed sale, we and our shareholders will not receive the expected benefits of such proposed transactions, but we will have incurred significant costs in connection with our pursuit of the transaction. In addition, we cannot assure you that alternative opportunities to sell or otherwise divest BMT will be available to us, or, if available, will be on terms at least as favorable to us and our shareholders as the terms of the proposed merger with MFAC. Market conditions, the possible need to secure regulatory, shareholder or other approvals and other factors will affect our ability to pursue alternative opportunities. In addition, the value of our common and preferred stock may decline if the proposed transactions are not completed, and uncertainty as to whether alternative transactions may be available for the disposition of BMT, and as to the timing, form and terms of any such alternative disposition may adversely affect analyst and shareholder views as to the value of BMT, which could further adversely affect the value of our securities.

If we are unable to complete the proposed sale of BMT in a timely fashion, or at all, we will continue to face the risks and challenges associated with the BankMobile business.
If we do not complete the proposed sale of BMT in a timely fashion, or at all, we will continue to face the risks and challenges associated with the BankMobile business, including those risks described in the “Risk Factors” discussion in our 2019 Form 10-K. We cannot assure you that we will be able to address and manage these risks so as to preserve or increase the value of the collateral locatedBankMobile business, and any failure to preserve or increase the value of the BankMobile business could adversely affect our business as a whole and our ability to divest BMT in New York State securing our multi-family loansan alternative transaction on favorable terms, or at all.

We will continue to own a significant amount of the resulting company following the completion of BMT’s merger with MFAC and, as such, the future net operating incomevalue of such properties could potentially become impaired. At September 30, 2019, Customers' total multi-family exposure in New York State is approximately $1.7 billion, of which approximately $1.2 million, or 68%, is provided for loans to rent regulated propertiesthe stock consideration we receive in the multi-family community, primarilymerger and our ability to realize the value of our own ownership of BM Technologies shares will be subject to a number of risks and challenges.
Following completion of the proposed merger, we expect to own approximately 47% of the outstanding stock of BM Technologies, depending on the amount of shares MFAC stockholders elect to have redeemed in New York City.connection with the completion of the merger. As a result, the benefits we obtain from the stock consideration we will receive in the merger will depend on BM Technologies’s future performance, as well as factors impacting the value of fintech companies generally, conditions in the financial markets and other factors affecting public companies. Although our BankMobile division, as an operating segment of ours, recently became profitable, there can be no assurance that BMT, a component of our BankMobile division, will be profitable following completion of the merger or that BM Technologies will be able to successfully execute its business plan, address competitive conditions in its markets and take other actions necessary to increase its value and the value of our shareholdings. In addition, although we have stated that it is our plan to reduce our ownership stake in the post-merger company gradually following the closing of the transaction, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so on favorable terms or in the time frame we currently anticipate. We also are subject to a lock-up agreement that will prevent us from disposing of any of the shares, except in limited circumstances, for a period of up to 180 days from the closing of the transaction.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On November 26, 2013, the Bancorp's board of directors authorized a stock repurchase plan in which the Bancorp could acquire up to 5% of its current outstanding shares not to exceed a 20% premium over the then current book value. On December 11, 2018, the Bancorp's board of directors amended the terms of the 2013 stock repurchase plan to adjust the repurchase terms and book value measurement date such that Customers was authorized to purchase shares of common stock at prices not to exceed the book value per share of Customers' common stock measured as of September 30, 2018. Customers repurchased all remaining authorized shares pursuant to this program in January 2019. Accordingly, there were no common shares repurchased during thirdsecond quarter 2019.2020.
Dividends on Common Stock
Customers Bancorp historically has not paid any cash dividends on its shares of common stock and does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.
Any future determination relating to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of Customers Bancorp’s board of directors and will depend on a number of factors, including earnings and financial condition, liquidity and capital requirements, the general economic and regulatory climate, ability to service any equity or debt obligations senior to our common stock, including obligations to pay dividends to the holders of Customers Bancorp's issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.
86

Table of Contents
In addition, as a bank holding company, Customers Bancorp is subject to general regulatory restrictions on the payment of cash dividends. Federal bank regulatory agencies have the authority to prohibit bank holding companies from engaging in unsafe or unsound practices in conducting their business, which, depending on the financial condition and liquidity of the holding company at the time, could include the payment of dividends. Further, various federal and state statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends that bank subsidiaries can pay to their parent holding company without regulatory approval. Generally, subsidiaries are prohibited from paying dividends when doing so would cause them to fall below the regulatory minimum capital levels, and limits exist on paying dividends in excess of net income for specified periods.
Beginning January 1, 2015, the ability to pay dividends and the amounts that can be paid will be limited to the extent the Bank's capital ratios do not exceed the minimum required levels plus 250 basis points, as these requirements were phased in through January 1, 2019.
