FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This annual report includes “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions regarding future events or determinations, all of which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, industry trends, and results or regulatory outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Forward-looking statements include, among others:

•statements with respect to the beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, targets, commitments, designs, guidelines, expectations, anticipations, and future financial condition, results of operations and performance of Zions Bancorporation, National Association and its subsidiaries (collectively “Zions Bancorporation, N.A.,” “the Bank,” “we,” “our,” “us”); and

We caution against the undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our views only as of the date they are made. Except to the extent required by law, we specifically disclaim any obligation to update any factors or to publicly announce the revisions to any of the forward-looking statements included herein to reflect future events or developments.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Zions Bancorporation, National Association (“Zions Bancorporation, N.A.,” “the Bank,” “we,” “our,” “us”) is a bank headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah with annual net revenue (net interest income and noninterest income) of $3.2 billion in 2022, and total assets of approximately $90 billion at December 31, 2022. We provide a wide range of banking products and related services, primarily in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. We had more than one million customers at year-

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

end 2022, served by 416 branches and various online, mobile, and digital offerings. We had 9,989 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2022.

We conduct our operations primarily through seven separately managed bank divisions, which we refer to as “affiliates,” or “affiliate banks,” each with its own local branding and management team. These affiliate banks comprise our primary business segments as referred to throughout this document. We emphasize local authority, responsibility, pricing, and customization of certain products that are designed to maximize customer satisfaction and strengthen community relations. Our affiliate banks are supported by an enterprise operating segment (referred to as the “Other” segment) that provides governance and risk management, allocates capital, establishes strategic objectives, and includes centralized technology, back-office functions, and certain lines of business not operated through our affiliate banks. For further information about our segments, see “Business Segment Results” on page 38 in Management's Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) and Note 22 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

We focus on serving our customers and communities. Our experienced bankers develop long-lasting relationships with our customers by providing competitive products and award-winning service. Building and sustaining these relationships is essential to understanding and meeting our customers’ needs.

COMPETITION

We operate in a highly competitive environment. Our most direct competition for loans, deposits, and other banking services comes from other commercial banks, credit unions, and financial technology companies (“fintechs”). Some of these financial institutions do not have a physical presence in our market footprint, but solicit business via the internet and other means. We also compete with finance companies, mutual fund companies, insurance companies, brokerage firms, securities dealers, investment banking companies, other nontraditional lending and banking companies, and a variety of other types of companies. Some of our competitors may have fewer regulatory constraints, and some have lower cost structures or tax burdens.

Our key differentiators include the quality of service delivered, our local community knowledge, convenience of branch and office locations, mobile and online banking functionality and other delivery methods, a wide range of products and services offered, and the overall relationship with our customers. We strive to compete effectively in all of these areas to remain successful.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

The banking and financial services business in which we engage is highly regulated. Such regulation is intended to promote the stability of banking and financial companies and to protect the interests of customers, depositors, and communities. In some cases, these regulations may not be aligned with, or intended to protect, the interests of our shareholders or creditors. Banking laws and regulations have given financial regulators expanded powers over many aspects of the financial services industry, which have reduced, and may continue to reduce, returns earned by shareholders. Furthermore, changes in applicable laws or regulations, and in their application by regulatory agencies cannot be predicted and may have a material effect on our business and results.

General

We are subject to the provisions of the National Bank Act and other statutes governing national banks, as well as the rules and regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). We, as well as some of our subsidiaries, are also subject to regulation by other federal and state agencies. These regulatory agencies may exert considerable influence over our activities through their supervisory and examination roles. Our brokerage and investment advisory subsidiaries are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), and state securities regulators.

The National Bank Act

Our corporate affairs are governed by the National Bank Act, and related regulations are administered by the OCC. With respect to securities matters, we are not subject to the Securities Act, but are subject to OCC regulations governing securities offerings. Our common stock and certain other securities are registered under the Exchange Act, which vests the OCC with the power to administer and enforce certain sections of the Exchange Act applicable to national banks, though we continue to make filings required by the Exchange Act with the SEC as a voluntary filer. These statutory and regulatory frameworks are not as well-developed as the corporate and securities law frameworks applicable to many other publicly held companies.

The National Bank Act provides that under certain circumstances the common stock of a national bank is assessable, i.e., holders may be subject to a levy for more funds if so determined by the OCC. The OCC has confirmed that under the applicable provisions of the National Bank Act, assessability is limited to the par value of a national bank’s stock. Our common stock has a par value of $0.001. In addition, according to the OCC, it has not exercised its authority to levy assessments since 1933 and views the assessability authority as a mechanism for addressing capital deficiency that has long been overtaken by developments in statute and regulation, including supervisory and enforcement authorities requiring an institution to maintain capital at a particular level.

Capital Standards – Basel Framework

At December 31, 2022, we exceeded all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III capital rules, which include certain risk-based capital and leverage ratio requirements prescribed by the OCC. The Basel III capital rules

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

define the components of capital and other factors, such as risk weights, affecting banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios.

The Basel III capital rules require us to maintain certain minimum capital ratios, as well as a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer,” which is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress, composed entirely of common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”), and in excess of the minimum risk-based capital ratios. The following schedule presents minimum capital ratio and capital conservation buffer requirements, compared with our capital ratios at December 31, 2022.

Schedule 1

MINIMUM CAPITAL RATIO AND CAPITAL CONSERVATION BUFFER REQUIREMENTS


	December 31, 2022
	Minimum capital requirement		Capital conservation buffer		Minimum capital ratio requirement with capital conservation buffer		Current capital ratio
CET1 to risk-weighted assets	4.5	%	2.5	%	7.0	%	9.8	%
Tier 1 capital (i.e., CET1 plus additional Tier 1 capital) to risk-weighted assets	6.0		2.5		8.5		10.5
Total capital (i.e., Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets	8.0		2.5		10.5		12.2
Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets (known as the “Tier 1 leverage ratio”)	4.0		N/A		4.0		7.7

Financial institutions with a ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum, but below the capital conservation buffer, face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall. The severity of the constraint depends on the amount of the shortfall and the institution’s “eligible retained income,” which is defined as four quarters of trailing net income, net of distributions and associated tax effects not already reflected in net income. For information about our capital ratios, see “Capital Management” on page 65 in MD&A.

Capital Planning and Stress Testing

We utilize stress testing as an important mechanism to inform our decisions on the appropriate level of capital, based upon actual and hypothetically stressed economic conditions. Our recent internal stress test included hypothetical scenarios that reflected (1) high inflation, (2) increased losses on commercial loans due to inflation and supply chain disruptions, (3) declining commercial property values, (4) increased losses on consumer loans due to falling home prices, (5) rising unemployment, and (6) other current economic, financial, and social disruptions. The results of our stress test indicated that we would maintain capital ratios in excess of regulatory minimum and capital conservation buffer requirements throughout the nine-quarter horizon for the hypothetical stress test. Regulations promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Act require many banks to adhere to an annual Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (“CCAR”) process and stress testing administered by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”). We are not regulated by the FRB and therefore are not subject to this process. However, we use the FRB’s CCAR process, including published economic scenarios, to inform our stress testing activities.

Liquidity

We manage liquidity in accordance with Basel III liquidity requirements, and we utilize internal liquidity stress tests as our primary tool for establishing and managing liquidity guidelines including, but not limited to, holdings of investment securities and other liquid assets, levels of readily available contingency funding, concentrations of funding sources, and the maturity profile of liabilities. During the recent pandemic, our liquidity profile benefited from a significant influx of deposits, which was impacted by certain fiscal and monetary policy decisions. In 2022, with the withdrawal of such measures by the federal government, our deposit levels decreased; however, our liquidity profile remained above regulatory and internal Bank limits. We continue to actively manage our deposit base and associated deposit costs in response to the rising interest rate environment.

Financial Privacy and Cybersecurity

The federal banking regulators have enacted rules that limit the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose nonpublic information about consumers to unaffiliated third parties, including provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which require financial institutions to disclose privacy policies to consumers and, in some circumstances, allow consumers to prevent disclosure of certain personal information to an unaffiliated third party. These regulations affect how consumer information is transmitted through diversified financial companies and conveyed to outside vendors. In addition, consumers may also prevent disclosure of certain information among affiliated companies that is assembled or used to determine eligibility for a product or service, such as that shown on consumer credit reports and asset and income information from applications. Consumers also have the option to direct banks and other financial institutions not to share information about transactions and experiences with affiliated companies for the purpose of marketing products or services. Federal law makes it a criminal offense, except in limited circumstances, to obtain or attempt to obtain customer information of a financial nature by fraudulent or deceptive means.

State regulators have been increasingly active in implementing privacy and cybersecurity standards and regulations. During the past several years, a growing number of states, including those in which we conduct business, have enacted, or are considering enacting, regulations granting consumers enhanced privacy rights and control over personal information, establishing or modifying data breach notification requirements, and requiring certain financial institutions to implement detailed and prescriptive cybersecurity programs. Data and cybersecurity laws and regulations are evolving rapidly and remain a focus of state and federal regulators. For example, in 2022, the SEC proposed new cybersecurity disclosure rules for public companies. If the proposed rules are adopted, they may require changes in the way such companies disclose material cybersecurity events. These evolving laws and rules will continue to have an impact on our risk management practices.

Prompt Corrective Action

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (“FDICIA”) requires each federal banking agency to take prompt corrective action to resolve identified problems of insured depository institutions, including, but not limited to, those that fall below one or more prescribed minimum capital ratios. Pursuant to FDICIA, the FDIC promulgated regulations defining the following five categories in which an insured depository institution will be placed, based on the level of its capital ratios: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, under-capitalized, significantly under-capitalized, and critically under-capitalized.

Under the prompt corrective action provisions of FDICIA as modified by the Basel III capital rules, an insured depository institution will generally be classified as well-capitalized if it has a CET1 ratio of at least 6.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 5%. An insured depository institution will generally be classified as under-capitalized if it has a CET1 ratio less than 4.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio less than 6%, a total risk-based capital ratio less than 8%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio less than 4%.

An institution that is classified as well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, or under-capitalized, may be treated as though it were in the next lower capital category if the appropriate federal banking agency, after notice and opportunity for hearing, determines that an unsafe or unsound condition or an unsafe or unsound practice warrants such treatment. At each successive lower capital category, an insured depository institution is subject to more restrictions and prohibitions, including restrictions on growth, interest rates paid on deposits, the acceptance of brokered deposits, and restrictions or prohibitions on the payment of dividends. Furthermore, if a bank is classified in one of the under-capitalized categories, it is required to submit a capital restoration plan to the federal banking regulator.

Other Regulations

We are subject to a wide range of other requirements and restrictions contained in both federal and state laws. These regulations include, but are not limited to, the following:

•Limitations on dividends payable to shareholders. Our ability to pay dividends on both our common and preferred stock is subject to regulatory restrictions. See Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

•Safety and soundness standards prescribed in the FDICIA, including standards related to internal controls, information systems, internal audit, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth and compensation, as well as other operational and management standards deemed appropriate by the federal banking agencies.

•Requirements for approval of acquisitions and restrictions on other activities. The National Bank Act requires regulatory and shareholder approval of all mergers between a national bank and another national or state bank and does not allow for the direct merger into a national bank of an unaffiliated nonbank. See discussion under “Risk Factors.” Other laws and regulations governing national banks contain similar provisions concerning acquisitions and activities.

•Limits on interchange fees imposed under the Dodd-Frank Act, including a set of rules requiring that interchange transaction fees for electronic debit transactions be reasonable and proportional to certain costs associated with processing the transactions.

•Limitations on the dollar amount of loans made to a borrower and its affiliates.

•Limitations on transactions with affiliates.

•Restrictions on the nature and amount of any investments and ability to underwrite certain types of securities (e.g., common equity).

•Requirements for opening and closing of branches.

•A number of federal and state consumer protection laws, including fair lending and truth in lending requirements, to provide equal access to credit and to protect consumers in credit transactions. In addition, as a bank with $10 billion or more in assets, we are subject to examination and primary enforcement authority with respect to consumer financial laws by the CFPB, which has broad rule making, supervisory and enforcement powers under various federal consumer financial protection laws.

•Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) requirements. The CRA requires banks to help serve the credit needs in their communities, including providing credit to low- and moderate-income individuals. If we fail to adequately serve our communities, penalties may be imposed including denials of applications to add branches, relocate, add subsidiaries and affiliates, and merge with or purchase other financial institutions.

•Requirements regarding the time, manner, and form of compensation given to key executives and other personnel receiving incentive compensation, including requirements related to the SEC’s 2022 rule on pay versus performance disclosures. These restrictions include documentation and governance, deferral, risk-balancing, and clawback requirements. Any deficiencies in compensation practices may be incorporated into supervisory ratings, which can affect our ability to make acquisitions or engage in certain other activities, or could result in regulatory enforcement actions.

•Anti-money laundering regulations. The Bank Secrecy Act, Title III of the Uniting and Strengthening of America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA Patriot Act”), and other federal laws require financial institutions to assist United States (“U.S.”) government agencies in detecting and preventing money laundering and other illegal acts by maintaining policies, procedures and controls designed to detect and report money laundering, terrorist financing, and other suspicious activity.

We are also subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, and other federal and state laws and regulations which address, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, internal controls over financial reporting, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information.

Environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) standards and related concerns, including those related to global climate change, continue to evolve and have become more prominent in recent years. We are closely monitoring developments in standards published by ESG interest groups and organizations, as well as proposed regulatory initiatives and expectations relating to ESG issues. Although we believe the way we do business has been and is consistent with many of these standards and expectations, our ongoing monitoring enables us to enhance our business practices by incorporating ESG recommendations that we believe will benefit our investors, customers, employees, and communities. In addition to proposed and evolving rulemaking by federal regulators, such as the SEC’s 2022 proposed rule on climate-related disclosures, many states have adopted, or are considering, laws that address ESG issues. These laws may include provisions that conflict with other state and federal regulations and may increase our costs or limit our ability to conduct business in certain jurisdictions. We publish an annual Corporate Responsibility Report that provides a summary of how we address ESG issues. The report is available on our website.

Corporate Governance

Our Board of Directors (“Board”) has overseen management’s establishment of a comprehensive system of corporate governance and risk management practices. This system includes frameworks, policies, and guidelines such as the following:

•Corporate Governance Guidelines;

•A Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Employees;

•A Director's Code of Conduct;

•A Risk Management Framework;

•A Related Party Transaction Policy;

•A Compensation Clawback Policy;

•Stock Ownership and Retention Guidelines;

•An Insider Trading Policy, including provisions prohibiting hedging and placing restrictions on the pledging of bank stock by insiders; and

•Charters for our Executive, Audit, Risk Oversight, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees.

HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

We are proud of our employees who bring their unique, diverse talents to work each day. We are committed to identifying, recognizing, and creating fulfilling opportunities for our employees, and rewarding them for their contributions to our success.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on how and where we work. We were successful in transitioning most of our employees to working remotely, and as the pandemic subsided and related treatments improved, we returned to more in-person collaboration while supporting certain flexible and remote work arrangements. We believe that in-person exchange of ideas and viewpoints, in both formal and informal settings, improves productivity and supports a strong corporate culture.

During 2022, we continued to enhance certain benefits for our employees to adapt to the changing practices of the labor market. Recent changes include more flexibility with paid time off, more options with health care plans, and greater access to mental health benefits.

We had 9,989 full-time equivalent employees December 31, 2022. The following schedule presents certain demographic attributes of our employees.

We use analytics, recruiting outreach efforts, and manager training to reach a diverse, qualified group of potential applicants to secure a high-performing workforce drawn from all segments of society. To identify qualified candidates, our recruiting team partners with community organizations, schools, and governmental entities that support marginalized and underserved communities in our footprint. Our annual Corporate Responsibility Report, which is published on our website, highlights several achievements in this area, such as our Banker Development Program, which attracts and advances undergraduates and early career professionals.

We have instituted enterprise-wide and affiliate diversity, equity, and inclusion councils; employee business forums; regional inclusion champions; mental health initiatives; and a broad range of employee and community events. Throughout the organization, employee business resource groups foster a sense of community and enable greater connectivity and support among employees through forum meetings and discussions, which are open to all employees and offer networking and initiatives that support our commitment to diversity, both internally and externally.

Attracting, developing, and retaining talent for long-term success

We are committed to (1) attracting, developing, and retaining the most qualified individuals who reflect the diversity of the available workforce and markets in which we operate, (2) helping our employees grow in their careers, and (3) actively building a pipeline of talent for future leadership opportunities. As we attract and hire talent, we proactively consider the demand for competencies that will be needed within the workforce of the future.

We offer more than 2,000 virtual, in-person, expert-led, and pre-recorded or self-paced learning options for employees to create custom learning plans for personal and professional development. In 2022, we hosted more than 1,000 training experiences to support employees, build new skills, or to assist in career advancement. We offer new manager programs, tuition reimbursement, education sponsorship opportunities, job shadowing, coaching, and formal mentoring programs. Our talent development program and individual development plans focus on education, experience, and exposure to help create well-rounded and successful employees.

We are also mindful of the increasing competition for talent in the labor market. We experienced greater challenges in the recent past in filling certain job openings relative to when labor market conditions were more balanced, but we began to see improvement in 2022. We continue to analyze relevant metrics related to employee recruiting and turnover, which has and will continue to impact wages and flexible work arrangements.

Recognizing, engaging, and rewarding our employees

Our comprehensive rewards and recognition programs are designed to reward high performance, improve retention, and enhance the employee experience through recognition and growth opportunities. We provide meaningful upside

opportunities for those who take accountability for business objectives that help us deliver superior results while reducing risk.

We routinely assess pay equity among employees across our organization by analyzing potential disparities in pay based on gender, minority status, and other factors. These actions help us compensate employees fairly. On a biennial basis, we enlist the services of an independent third party to review our pay equity. Results of the most recent review revealed that after adjusting for relevant variables such as education, experience, performance, and geography, there were no meaningful differences in pay levels among men, women, and people of color. We remain committed to fair and equitable compensation for all our employees.

Our employees provide regular feedback through enterprise outreach and engagement forums, which include quarterly leadership calls, biannual employee opinion surveys, and targeted focus groups. These forums for employee input continue to help strengthen working relationships with managers, improve clarity of organizational purpose and goals, and reinforce our Guiding Principles and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

We value work-life balance and strive to create a work environment that supports our employees with mental, physical, social, and financial wellness. Some of our key benefits include the following:

•Corporate match for our 401(k) plan of 4.5% of an employee’s salary and incentive compensation;

•Annual profit-sharing contributions;

•Health care plan options including behavioral health, wellness, and autism spectrum disorder services;

•Expanded mental health coverage, including coaching and clinical therapy sessions;

•Preventive prescription drug coverage not subject to deductibles;

•Paid parental leave program;

•Adoption assistance program; and

•Paid time off for various community service activities and other volunteer opportunities.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We generate revenue and grow our businesses by taking prudent and appropriately priced and managed risks. These risks are outlined in our Risk Management Framework. Our Board has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Risk Oversight Committee (“ROC”), and appointed an Enterprise Risk Management Committee (“ERMC”) to oversee and implement the Risk Management Framework. The ERMC is comprised of senior management and is chaired by the Chief Risk Officer. These committees monitor the following risk areas: credit risk, interest rate and market risk; liquidity risk; strategic and business risk; operational risk; technology risk; cybersecurity risk; capital/financial reporting risk; legal/compliance risk (including regulatory risk); and reputational risk, as outlined in our risk taxonomy. We have developed policies, procedures, and controls designed to address these risks, but there can be no certainty that our actions will be effective to prevent or limit the effects of these risks on our business or performance. Although not comprehensive, risk factors that are material to us are described below.

CREDIT RISK

Credit quality has adversely affected us in the past and may adversely affect us in the future.

Credit risk is one of our most significant risks. Rising interest rates, increased market volatility, or a decline in the strength of the U.S. economy in general or the local economies in which we conduct operations could result in, among other things, deterioration in credit quality and reduced demand for credit, including a resultant adverse effect on the income from our loan and investment portfolios, an increase in charge-offs, and an increase in the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”).

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

We have concentration of risk from counterparties and risk in our loan portfolio, including, but not limited to, loans secured by real estate, oil and gas-related lending, and leveraged and enterprise value lending, which may have unique risk characteristics that may adversely affect our results.

Concentrations of risk from counterparties could adversely affect us, and risk across our loan and investment securities portfolios could pose significant additional credit risk to us due to similar exposures between the two asset types. Counterparty risk arising from derivative or securities financing transactions could also pose additional credit risk.

We engage in commercial real estate (“CRE”) term and construction lending, primarily in our Western states footprint. We also engage in oil and gas-related lending, primarily in Texas, and we provide leveraged and enterprise value loans across our entire footprint. These loan types may be subject to specific risks, including governmental and social responses to environmental issues and climate change, volatility, and potential significant and prolonged declines in collateral-values and activity levels. We may have other unidentified risks in our loan portfolio.

Our business is highly correlated to local economic conditions in a specific geographic region of the U.S.

We provide a wide range of banking products and related services through our local management teams and unique brands in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. At December 31, 2022, loan balances associated with our banking operations in Utah/Idaho, Texas, and California comprised 77%, 71%, and 70% of the commercial, CRE, and consumer lending portfolios, respectively. As a result of this geographic concentration, our financial performance depends largely upon economic conditions in these market areas. Accordingly, deterioration in economic conditions, such as that caused by climate change or natural disasters, may specifically affect these states, and could result in higher credit losses and significantly affect our consolidated operations and financial results.

For information about our lending exposure to various industries and how we manage credit risk, see “Credit Risk Management” on page 49 in MD&A.

INTEREST RATE AND MARKET RISK

We could be negatively affected by adverse economic conditions.

Adverse economic conditions pose significant risks to our business, including our loan and investment portfolios, capital levels, results of operations, and financial condition. A slowing economy and uncertainty related to inflationary pressures, including related changes in monetary policies and actions, rising interest rates, and decreased values of our fixed-rate assets, can increase these risks and lead to lower demand for loans, higher credit losses, and lower fee income, among other negative effects.

Failure to effectively manage our interest rate risk could adversely affect our results.

Net interest income is the largest component of our revenue. Interest rate risk is managed by our Asset Liability Management Committee. Factors beyond our control can significantly influence the interest rate environment and increase our risk. These factors include changes in the prevailing interest rate environment, competitive pricing pressures for our loans and deposits, adverse shifts in the mix of deposits and other funding sources, and volatile market interest rates resulting from general economic conditions and the policies of governmental and regulatory agencies, in particular the FRB. Most components of our balance sheet are sensitive to rising and falling rates, and mismatches in rate sensitivity between assets and liabilities may result in unanticipated changes in both asset and liability values and related income and expense.

Interest rates on our financial instruments are subject to change based on developments related to LIBOR, which could adversely impact our revenue, expenses, and value of those financial instruments.

The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is being phased out globally, and banks are required to migrate to alternative reference rates no later than June 2023. The market transition away from LIBOR could have a range of adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In particular, the transition could (1) adversely affect the interest rates paid or received on, and the value of, our floating-rate obligations, loans, deposits,

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

derivatives, and other financial instruments indexed to LIBOR; and (2) result in disputes, litigation or other actions with counterparties regarding the interpretation and enforceability of certain fallback language in financial instruments.

For information about how we manage the transition from LIBOR, interest rate risk, and market risk, see “Interest Rate and Market Risk Management” on page 56 in MD&A.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Changes in levels and sources of liquidity and capital and liquidity requirements may limit our operations and potential growth.

Our primary source of liquidity is deposits from our customers, which may be impacted by market-related forces such as increased competition for these deposits and a variety of other factors. The Federal Reserve's tightened monetary policy may contribute to a decline in the value of our fixed-rate loans and investment securities that are pledged as collateral to support short-term borrowings, and other economic conditions may also affect our liquidity and efforts to manage associated risks. The Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system and Federal Reserve have been, and continue to be, a significant source of additional liquidity and funding. Changes in FHLB funding programs could adversely affect our liquidity and management of associated risks.

We and the holders of our securities could be adversely affected by unfavorable rating actions from rating agencies.

We access capital markets to augment our funding. This access is affected by the ratings assigned to us by rating agencies. The rates we pay on our securities are also influenced by, among other things, the credit ratings that we and our securities receive from recognized rating agencies. Ratings downgrades to us or our securities could increase our costs or otherwise have a negative effect on our liquidity position, financial condition, or the market prices of our securities.

For information about how we manage liquidity risk, see “Liquidity Risk Management” on page 60 in MD&A.

STRATEGIC AND BUSINESS RISK

Problems encountered by other financial institutions could adversely affect financial markets generally and have indirect adverse effects on us.

The soundness and stability of many financial institutions may be closely interrelated as a result of credit, trading, clearing, or other relationships between the institutions. As a result, concerns about, or a default or threatened default by, one institution could lead to significant market-wide liquidity and credit problems, losses or defaults by other institutions. This is sometimes referred to as “systemic risk” and may adversely affect financial intermediaries, such as clearing agencies, clearing houses, banks, securities firms, and exchanges, with which we interact on a daily basis, and therefore, could adversely affect us.

We may not be able to hire or retain qualified personnel or effectively promote our corporate culture, and recruiting and compensation costs may increase as a result of changes in the workplace, marketplace, economy, and regulatory environment.

Our ability to execute our strategy, provide services, and remain competitive may suffer if we are unable to recruit or retain qualified people, or if the costs of employee compensation and benefits increase substantially. Bank regulatory agencies have published regulations and guidance that limit the manner and amount of compensation that banking organizations provide to employees. These regulations and guidance may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel. Some of these limitations may not apply to institutions with which we compete for talent, in particular, as we are more frequently competing for personnel with financial technology providers and other entities that may not have the same limitations on compensation as we do. If we were to suffer such adverse effects with respect to our employees, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely or materially affected.

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Our ability to retain talent may also be adversely affected by changes in the economy and workforce trends, priorities, migration, modes of delivery and other considerations, such as the increased ability of employees to work from anywhere in many industries. This growth in remote work and other changing priorities and benefits has led to an increase in compensation and related expenses and workplace challenges, such as fewer opportunities for face-to-face interactions, training and mentoring new employees, promoting a cohesive corporate culture, and increased competition for experienced labor, especially in high-demand and highly skilled categories. Inflationary pressures have also increased our compensation costs and are likely to continue to do so in the future.

We have made, and are continuing to make, significant changes that include, among other things, organizational restructurings, efficiency initiatives, and replacement or upgrades of technology systems to improve our control environment and operating efficiency. The ultimate success and completion of these changes, and their effects on us, may vary significantly from intended results, which could materially adversely affect us.

We continue to invest in a variety of strategic projects designed to improve our products and services and to simplify how we do business. These initiatives and other significant changes continue to be implemented and are in various stages of completion. By their very nature, projections of duration, cost, expected savings, expected efficiencies, and related items are subject to change and significant variability. There can be no certainty that we will achieve the expected benefits or other intended results associated with these projects.

OPERATIONAL RISK

Our operations could be disrupted by the effects of our new and ongoing projects and initiatives.

We may encounter significant operational disruption arising from our numerous projects and initiatives. These may include significant time delays, cost overruns, loss of key people, technological problems, and processing failures. We may also experience operational disruptions due to capacity constraints, service level failures and inadequate performance, the level of concentration, and certain replacement costs. Any or all of these issues could result in disruptions to our systems, processes, control environment, procedures, employees, and customers. The ultimate effect of any significant disruption to our business could subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could materially affect us, including our control environment, operating efficiency, and results of operations.

We could be adversely affected by failure in our internal controls.

Because of their inherent limitations, our internal controls may not prevent or detect the risk of misstatements in our financial statements, or capital arising from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, human errors or misconduct, or other adverse external events. A failure in our internal controls could have a significant negative impact not only on our earnings, but also on the perception that customers, regulators, and investors may have of us and adversely affect our business and our stock price.

We could be adversely affected by internal and external fraud schemes.

Attempts to commit fraud both internally and externally are becoming increasingly more sophisticated and may increase in an adverse economic environment. These attempts may go undetected by the systems and procedures that we have in place to monitor our operations. We have experienced losses in the past as a result of these schemes and may not be able to identify, prevent, or otherwise mitigate all instances of fraud in the future that have the potential to result in material losses.

Climate-related and other catastrophic events including, but not limited to, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires, floods, prolonged drought, and pandemics may adversely affect us, our customers, and the general economy, financial and capital markets, and specific industries.

The occurrence of pandemics, natural disasters, and other climate-related or catastrophic events could materially and adversely affect our operations and financial results. We have significant operations and customers in Utah, Texas, California, and other regions where natural and other disasters have occurred, and are likely to continue to occur. These regions are known for being vulnerable to natural disasters and other risks, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires, floods, prolonged droughts, and other weather-related events, some of which may be exacerbated by global climate change and become more frequent and intense. These types of catastrophic events at

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

times have disrupted the local economy, our business and customers, and have posed physical risks to our property. In addition, catastrophic events occurring in other regions of the world may have an impact on us and our customers.

We use models in the management of the Bank. There is risk that these models are inaccurate in various ways, which can cause us to make suboptimal decisions.

We rely on models in the management of the Bank. For example, we use models to inform our estimate of the allowance for credit losses, to manage interest rate and liquidity risk, to project stress losses in various segments of our loan and investment portfolios, and to project net revenue under stress. Models are inherently imperfect and cannot perfectly predict outcomes. Management decisions based in part on such models, therefore, may be suboptimal.

We outsource various operations to third-party vendors, which could adversely impact our business and operational performance.

We rely on various vendors to perform operational activities to conduct our business. Although there are benefits in entering into these relationships, there are risks associated with such activities. Our operational controls and third-party management programs may not provide adequate oversight and control, and inadequate performance by third parties can adversely affect our ability to deliver products and services to our customers and conduct our business. Replacing or finding alternatives for vendors who do not perform adequately can be difficult and costly, and may also adversely impact our customers and other operations, particularly when circumstances require us to make changes under tight time constraints. Many of our vendors have experienced adverse effects upon operations, supply chains, personnel, and businesses arising from inflationary pressures, wars and geopolitical conflicts, COVID-19, and other events, all of which can impact our operations as well.

For information about how we manage operational risk, see “Operational, Technology, and Cybersecurity Risk Management” on page 63 in MD&A.

TECHNOLOGY RISK

We could be adversely affected by our ability to develop, adopt, and implement technology advancements.

Our ability to remain competitive is increasingly dependent upon our ability to maintain critical technological capabilities, and to identify and develop new, value-added products for existing and future customers. These technological competitive pressures arise from both traditional banking and non-traditional sources. Larger banks may have greater resources and economies of scale attendant to maintaining existing capabilities and developing digital and other technologies. Fintechs and other technology platform companies continue to emerge and compete with traditional financial institutions across a wide variety of products and services. The expansion of blockchain technologies and the potential creation and adoption of central bank digital currencies present similar risks. Our failure to remain technologically competitive could impede our time to market and reduce customer satisfaction, product accessibility, and relevance.

We could be adversely impacted by system vulnerabilities, failures, or outages impacting operations and customer services such as online and mobile banking.

We rely on various information technology systems that work together in supporting internal operations and customer services. Vulnerabilities in, or a failure or outage of, one or many of these systems could impact the ability to perform internal operations and provide services to customers, such as online banking, mobile banking, remote deposit capture, treasury and payment services, and other services dependent on system processing. These risks increase as systems and software approach the end of their useful life or require more frequent updates and modifications. We cannot guarantee that such occurrences will not have a significant operational or customer impact.

For information regarding risks associated with the replacement or upgrades of our core technology systems, see “Strategic and Business Risk” on page 14 in Risk Factors. For information about how we manage technology risk, see “Operational, Technology, and Cybersecurity Risk Management” on page 63 in MD&A.

CYBERSECURITY RISK

We are subject to a variety of information system failure and cybersecurity risks that could adversely affect our business and financial performance.

We rely heavily on communications and information systems to conduct our business. We, our customers, and other financial institutions with which we interact, are subject to ongoing, continuous attempts to penetrate key systems by individual hackers, organized criminals, and in some cases, state-sponsored organizations. Information security risks for large financial institutions have increased significantly in recent years, in part because of the proliferation of new technologies, internet connections, and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, nation-states, activists, and other external third parties.

Third parties, including vendors and suppliers, also present operational and information security risks to us, including security breaches or failures of their own systems. In incidents involving third parties, we may not be informed promptly of any effect on our services or our data, or be able to participate in any investigation, notification, or remediation that occurs as a result. Any such incidents may have a material adverse effect upon our operations, reputation, customers, and services. The possibility of third-party or employee error, failure to follow security procedures, or malfeasance also presents these risks.

As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, we will be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our layers of defense or to investigate or remediate any information security vulnerabilities. We, and our third-party vendors, have experienced security breaches due to cyberattacks in the past that have not had material impact to our data, customers, or operations, but there can be no assurance that any such failure, interruption, or significant security breach will not occur in the future, or, if any future occurrences will be adequately addressed. It is impossible to determine the severity or potential effects of these events with any certainty, but any such breach could result in material adverse consequences for us and our customers.

System enhancements and updates may also create risks associated with implementing new systems and integrating them with existing ones. Due to the complexity and interconnectedness of information technology systems, the process of enhancing our layers of defense can itself create a risk of systems disruptions and security issues. In addition, addressing certain information security vulnerabilities, such as hardware-based vulnerabilities, may affect the performance of our information technology systems. The ability of our hardware and software providers to deliver patches and updates to mitigate vulnerabilities and our ability to implement them in a timely manner can introduce additional risks, particularly when a vulnerability is being actively exploited by threat actors. The occurrence of any failure, interruption or security breach of our information systems could damage our reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability.

For information about how we manage cybersecurity risk, see “Operational, Technology, and Cybersecurity Risk Management” on page 63 in MD&A.

CAPITAL/FINANCIAL REPORTING RISK

Internal stress testing and capital management, as well as provisions of the National Bank Act and OCC regulations, may limit our ability to increase dividends, repurchase shares of our stock, and access the capital markets.

We utilize stress testing as an important mechanism to inform our decisions on the appropriate level of capital, based upon actual and hypothetically stressed economic conditions. The stress testing and other applicable regulatory requirements may, among other things, require us to increase our capital levels, limit our dividends or other capital distributions to shareholders, modify our business strategies, or decrease our exposure to various asset classes. Under the National Bank Act and OCC regulations, certain capital transactions, including share repurchases, are subject to the approval of the OCC. These requirements may limit our ability to respond to and take advantage of market developments.

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Economic and other circumstances may require us to raise capital at times or in amounts that are unfavorable to us.

We maintain certain risk-based and leverage capital ratios, as required by our banking regulators, which can change depending upon general economic conditions, as well as the particular conditions, risk profiles, and our growth plans. Compliance with capital requirements may limit our ability to expand and has required, and may require, us to raise additional capital. These uncertainties and risks, including those created by legislative and regulatory uncertainties, may increase our cost of capital and other financing costs.

We could be adversely affected by accounting, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance risk.

We are exposed to accounting, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance risk. Significant estimates, judgments, and interpretations of complex and changing accounting and regulatory policies are required to properly account for the products and services we provide to our customers. Changes in our accounting policies or accounting standards could materially affect how we report our financial results and conditions. The level of regulatory compliance oversight continues to be heightened. Identification, interpretation, and implementation of complex and changing accounting standards, as well as compliance with regulatory requirements, pose an ongoing risk.

The value of our goodwill may decline in the future.

If the fair value of a reporting unit is determined to be less than its carrying value, we may have to take a charge related to the impairment of our goodwill. Such a charge could result from, among other factors, weakening in the economic environment, a decline in the performance of the reporting unit, or new legislative or regulatory changes not anticipated in management’s expectations.

We may not be able to fully realize our deferred tax assets, which could adversely affect our operating results and financial performance.

At December 31, 2022, we had a net deferred tax asset of $1.1 billion. The accounting treatment for realization of deferred tax assets is complex and requires judgment. Our ability to fully realize our deferred tax asset could be reduced in the future if our estimates of future taxable income from our operations, future reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities, or tax planning strategies do not support the realization of our deferred tax asset. Changes in applicable tax laws, regulations, macroeconomic conditions, or market conditions may adversely affect our financial results, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to fully realize our deferred tax assets.

For information about how we manage capital, see “Capital Management” on page 65 in MD&A.

LEGAL/COMPLIANCE RISK

Laws and regulations applicable to us and the financial services industry impose significant limitations on our business activities and subject us to increased regulation and additional costs.

We, and the entire financial services industry, have incurred, and will continue to incur, substantial costs related to personnel, systems, consulting, and other activities in order to comply with banking regulations. See “Supervision and Regulation” on page 6 for further information about the regulations applicable to us and the financial services industry generally.

Regulators, the U.S. Congress, state legislatures, and other governing or consultative bodies continue to enact rules, laws, and policies to regulate the financial services industry and public companies, including laws that are designed to promote, protect, or penalize certain activities or industries and their access to financial services. We are, and may in the future become, subject to these laws by offering our products and services to certain industries or in certain locations. The nature of these laws and regulations and their effect on our future business and performance cannot be predicted.

There can be no assurance that any or all of these regulatory changes or actions will ultimately be enacted. However, if enacted, some of these proposals could adversely affect us by, among other things: impacting after-tax returns earned by financial services firms in general; limiting our ability to grow; increasing FDIC insurance

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

assessments, taxes or fees on our funding or activities; limiting the range of products and services that we could offer; and requiring us to raise capital at inopportune times.

Political developments may also result in substantial changes in tax, international trade, immigration, and other policies. The extent and timing of any such changes are uncertain, as are the potential direct and indirect impacts, whether beneficial or adverse. Regulations and laws may be modified or repealed, and new legislation may be enacted that will affect us and our subsidiaries. The ultimate impact of these proposals cannot be predicted as it is unclear which, if any, may be enacted.

We could be adversely affected by legal and governmental proceedings.

We are subject to risks associated with legal claims, litigation, and regulatory and other government proceedings. Our exposure to these proceedings has increased and may further increase as a result of stresses on customers, counterparties, and others arising from the past or current economic environments, more frequent claims and actions resulting from fraud schemes perpetrated by or involving our customers, new regulations promulgated under recently enacted statutes, the creation of new examination and enforcement bodies, and enforcement and legal actions against banking organizations. Any such matters may result in material adverse consequences to our results of operations, financial condition or ability to conduct our business, including adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties (e.g., civil money penalties under applicable banking laws), injunctions, restrictions on our business activities, or other relief. We maintain insurance coverage to mitigate the financial risk of defense costs, settlements, and awards, but the coverage is subject to deductibles and limits of coverage. Our involvement in any such matters, even if the matters are ultimately determined in our favor, could also cause significant harm to our reputation and divert management attention from the operation of our business. In general, the amounts paid by financial institutions in settlement of proceedings or investigations, have been increasing dramatically. This has affected and will continue to adversely affect (1) our ability to obtain insurance coverage for certain claims, (2) our deductible levels, and (3) the cost of premiums associated with our coverage. Consequently, our financial results are subject to greater risk of adverse outcomes from legal claims.

Due to the difficulty in predicting the timing of, and damages or penalties associated with, the resolution of legal claims, it is possible that adverse financial impacts from litigation could occur sporadically and could be significant. In addition, any enforcement matters could impact our supervisory and CRA ratings, which may restrict or limit our activities.

The corporate and securities laws applicable to us are not as well-developed as those applicable to a state-chartered corporation, which may impact our ability to effect corporate transactions in an efficient and optimal manner.

Our corporate affairs are governed by the National Bank Act, and related regulations are administered by the OCC. As to securities laws, the OCC maintains its own securities offering framework applicable to national banks and their securities offerings, and our compliance with the Exchange Act is governed and enforced by the OCC.

State corporate codes, including that of Utah, are widely recognized, updated by legislative action from time-to-time, and may be based on and influenced by model statutes. The federal securities law regime established by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the SEC’s extensive and well-developed framework thereunder are widely used by public companies. The OCC’s statutory and regulatory frameworks have been used by publicly traded banking organizations relatively rarely and are not as well-developed as the corporate and securities law frameworks applicable to other public corporations. While certain specific risks associated with operating under these frameworks are described below, unless and until these frameworks are further developed and established over time, the uncertainty of how these frameworks might apply to any given corporate or securities matters may prevent us from effecting transactions in an efficient and optimal manner or perhaps at all.

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Differences between the National Bank Act and state law requirements regarding mergers could hinder our ability to execute acquisitions as efficiently and advantageously as bank holding companies or other financial institutions.

Unlike state corporate law, the National Bank Act requires shareholder approval of all mergers between a national bank and another national or state bank and does not allow for exceptions in the case of various “minor” mergers, such as a parent company’s merger with a subsidiary or an acquirer’s merger with an unaffiliated entity in which the shares issued by the acquirer do not exceed a designated percentage. The National Bank Act and related regulations may also complicate the structuring of certain nonbank acquisitions.

These differences could adversely affect the ability of the Bank and other banks registered under the National Bank Act to efficiently consummate acquisition transactions. In addition, such differences could make us less competitive as a potential acquirer in certain circumstances given that our acquisition proposal may be conditioned on shareholder approval while our competitors’ proposals will not have such a condition.

We are subject to restrictions on permissible activities that would limit the types of business we may conduct and that may make acquisitions of other financial companies more challenging.

Under applicable laws and regulations, bank holding companies and banks are generally limited to business activities and investments that are related to banking or are financial in nature. The range of permissible financial activities is set forth in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and is more limited for banks than for bank holding company organizations. The differences relate mainly to insurance underwriting (but not insurance agency activities) and merchant banking (but not broker-dealer and investment advisory activities). The fact that we do not have a bank holding company could make future acquisitions of financial institutions with such operations more challenging.

REPUTATIONAL RISK

We are presented with various reputational risk issues that could stem from operational, regulatory, compliance, and legal risks.

Any of the aforementioned risks may give rise to adverse publicity and other expressions of negative public opinion, increased regulatory scrutiny, and damaged relationships among other reputational risks.

OTHER RISKS

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and other geopolitical conflicts, and retaliatory measures imposed by the U.S. and other countries, including the responses to such measures, may cause significant disruptions to domestic and foreign economies and markets.

The Russia/Ukraine war and other geopolitical conflicts have created new risks for global markets, trade, economic conditions, cybersecurity, and similar concerns. For example, these conflicts could affect the availability and price of commodities and products, adversely affecting supply chains and increasing inflationary pressures; the value of currencies, interest rates, and other components of financial markets; and lead to increased risks of events such as cyberattacks that could result in severe costs and disruptions to governmental entities and companies and their operations. The impact of these conflicts and retaliatory measures is continually evolving and cannot be predicted with certainty. It is likely that these conflicts will continue to affect the global political order and global and domestic markets for a substantial period of time, regardless of when these conflicts end.

While these events have not materially interrupted our operations, these or future developments resulting from these conflicts, such as cyberattacks on the U.S., the Bank, our customers, or our suppliers, could make it difficult to conduct business activities for us, our customers, or our vendors.

Our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations have been, and will likely continue to be, adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic created economic, financial, and social disruptions that have adversely affected, and are likely to continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition, credit exposure, and results of operations, including the direct and indirect impact on our employees, customers, communities, counterparties, service

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

providers, other market participants, and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. The pandemic and its aftermath are likely to continue to affect consumer confidence and business activity generally, including loan demand, deposit levels, and the market for other financial products or services. Disruptions in supply chains have in some instances adversely affected our ability to procure equipment and materials for our employees and facilities in a timely fashion and may increase our costs for the same. These supply chain disruptions have in some instances adversely affected our vendors and their service level agreements to us and our subsequent delivery to customers. Pressures on the cost and availability of labor have also negatively affected us and many of our customers. The effects of these disruptions are likely to continue for the near term. Additionally, the long-term effects of the pandemic, including the increased interest in remote-work environments, may reduce our need for physical office space while negatively impacting our ability to sell or sublease any excess space.

ESG-related risk developments could lead or require us to restrict or modify some of our business activities.

ESG expectations of investors and regulators could, over time, lead us to restrict or modify some of our business practices. In addition, our business practices could be adversely affected by laws and regulations enacted or promulgated by federal, state, and local governments that relate to environmental and social issues. For example, in 2021 and 2022, certain states passed, or considered passing, laws prohibiting financial institutions from restricting the services that they provide to certain types of businesses if the institutions also conduct business with governmental entities in such states. Depending on how these laws are worded and implemented, they could adversely affect our ability to manage risk. These laws and rules related to ESG issues may include provisions that conflict with other state and federal regulations and may increase our costs or limit our ability to conduct business in certain jurisdictions.

Heightened regulatory and social focus on climate change may place additional requirements on public companies, including financial institutions, regarding the measurement, management, and disclosure of climate-related risks and associated lending and investment activities. This may result in higher regulatory, compliance, credit, and reputational risks and costs. In addition, the transition to a lower-carbon economy could subject us to risks through our customers' exposure to volatility in commodity prices and the market for carbon-related products and services.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Key Corporate Objectives

We conduct our operations through seven separately managed affiliates, each with its own local branding and management team. Our affiliate banks are supported by an enterprise operating segment (referred to as the “Other” segment) that provides governance and risk management, allocates capital, establishes strategic objectives, and includes centralized technology, back-office functions, and certain lines of business not operated through our affiliate banks.

We focus our efforts and resources to achieve our strategic growth and profitability objectives. This includes providing high-quality products and services and deepening relationships with our commercial, small business, and retail customers. Serving as a trusted partner for our small business and commercial customers and supporting their operational needs affords us a major source of relatively stable, low-cost deposits.

We strive to achieve balanced growth of customers, pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”), earnings per share (“EPS”), profitability, and shareholder returns. As depicted in the graphic below, we focus on four strategic growth areas: small businesses, commercial businesses, affluent customers, and capital markets.

To facilitate the achievement of our growth and profitability objectives, we invest in the following five key areas, referred to as “strategic enablers”:

•People and Empowerment — we invest in training our employees and providing them the tools and resources to build their capabilities, while promoting a diverse, inclusive, and equitable culture.

•Technology — we invest in technologies that will make us more efficient and enable us to remain competitive while helping to insulate us from the risks of bank-disrupting technology companies.

•Operational Excellence — we invest in and support ongoing improvements in how we safely and securely deliver value to our customers.

•Risk Management — we invest in enhanced risk management practices to ensure prudent risk-taking and appropriate oversight.

•Data and Analytics — we invest in advanced enterprise data and analytics to support local execution and prudent decision making.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our Financial Performance

This section and other sections provide information about our recent financial performance. For information about our results of operations for 2021 compared with 2020, see the respective sections in MD&A included in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Net Earnings Applicable to Common Shareholders

(in millions)

Diluted EPS

Adjusted PPNR

(in millions)

Efficiency ratio

Net earnings applicable to common shareholders decreased from 2021, primarily due to an increase in the provision for credit losses.

Diluted earnings per share decreased from 2021 as a result of decreased net earnings, the effect of which was partially offset by a 10.0 million decrease in weighted average diluted shares, primarily due to share repurchases.

Adjusted PPNR increased from 2021, primarily due to growth in adjusted net revenue, driven largely by an increase in net interest income. This increase was partially offset by higher adjusted noninterest expense.

The efficiency ratio improved from the prior year, as growth in adjusted revenue outpaced growth in adjusted noninterest expense, resulting in positive operating leverage.

Our financial performance for 2022 relative to the prior year reflected:

•Strong net revenue growth, offset by increases in provision for credit losses and noninterest expense.

•Net interest income increased $312 million, or 14%, notwithstanding a $188 million decrease in interest income from U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans. The increase was primarily due to a higher interest rate environment and a favorable change in the composition of interest-earning assets.

•The net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.06%, compared with 2.72%, reflecting higher yields on interest-earning assets and favorable funding costs associated with our noninterest-bearing deposits.

•Solid credit performance, as nonperforming assets decreased $123 million, or 45%, and classified loans decreased $307 million, or 25%. Net loan and lease charge-offs were $39 million, or 0.08% of average loans (ex-PPP) in 2022, compared with net charge-offs of $6 million, or 0.01% of average loans (ex-PPP), in 2021. Despite improvements in credit quality, the provision for credit losses was $122 million in 2022, compared with $(276) million in 2021, reflecting loan growth and deterioration in economic scenarios used for estimating future losses.

•A $39 million, or 7%, increase in customer-related noninterest income, primarily due to increases in commercial account fees, capital markets and foreign exchange fees, and card fees, partially offset by decreases in loan-related fees and retail and business banking fees. Decreases in noncustomer-related

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

noninterest income were due largely to prior year securities gains in our Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) investment portfolio and gains on the sale of certain bank-owned facilities.

•An increase of $137 million, or 8%, in noninterest expense, primarily due to an increase in salaries and benefits expense, which was impacted by inflationary and competitive labor market pressures on wages and benefits, increased incentive compensation accruals arising from improvements in full-year profitability, and increased headcount.

•An increase of $1.4 billion, or 2%, in average interest-earning assets, driven by growth in average securities and average loans and leases (ex-PPP), largely offset by declines in average money market investments and PPP loans.

•Strong growth of $4.8 billion, or 9%, in total loans and leases, driven largely by increases in the commercial and industrial, consumer 1-4 family residential mortgage, commercial real estate term, and municipal loan portfolios.

•Total deposits decreased $11.1 billion, or 13%, primarily due to decreases in larger-balance and more rate-sensitive, nonoperating deposits. Our loan-to-deposit ratio was 78%, compared with 61% at the prior year- end, which continues to afford us flexibility in managing our funding costs.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, and represented approximately 80% of our net revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) for the year. The NIM is calculated as net interest income as a percent of interest-earning assets.

Net interest income increased $312 million, or 14%, in 2022, relative to the prior year, despite a $188 million decrease in interest income from PPP loans. The increase was driven largely by a higher interest rate environment and a favorable change in the composition of interest-earning assets.

Average interest-earning assets increased $1.4 billion, or 2%, primarily due to increases of $6.3 billion and $4.5 billion in average securities and average loans and leases (ex-PPP), respectively. These increases were largely offset by decreases of $5.5 billion and $3.8 billion in average money market investments and average PPP loans, respectively. Average securities increased to 30.4% of average interest-earning assets, compared with 23.3%.

The NIM was 3.06%, compared with 2.72%. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 3.28% in 2022, an increase of 49 basis points (“bps”), reflecting the higher interest rate environment and a change in the mix of interest-earning assets from money market investments to securities and loans. The yield on total loans increased 30 bps to 4.06%, and the yield on securities increased 39 bps to 2.06%. The yield on securities benefited from a decrease in the market value of available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities due to rising interest rates.

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Average loans and leases increased $0.6 billion, or 1%, to $52.6 billion. Excluding PPP loans, average loans and leases increased $4.5 billion, or 9%, to $51.9 billion, primarily in the commercial and industrial, consumer 1-4 family residential mortgage, commercial real estate term, and municipal loan portfolios.

During 2022 and 2021, PPP loans totaling approximately $1.5 billion and $6.5 billion, respectively, were forgiven by the SBA. PPP loans contributed $47 million and $235 million in interest income during the same time periods. The yield on PPP loans was 6.53% and 5.16% for the respective periods, and was positively impacted by accelerated amortization of deferred fees on paid off or forgiven PPP loans of $31 million and $138 million. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the remaining unamortized net deferred fees on PPP loans totaled $2 million and $45 million, respectively.

Average deposits increased $2.2 billion, or 3%, during 2022, and period-end deposits decreased $11.1 billion, or 13%, compared with the prior year period. The average cost of deposits was 0.09% in 2022, compared with 0.04% in 2021. The rate paid on total deposits and interest-bearing liabilities was 0.23%, compared with 0.07%, reflecting the higher interest rate environment and increased short-term borrowings. Average noninterest-bearing deposits as a percentage of average deposits were 51%, up from 49% for the prior year. Our funding costs remained well controlled, reflecting the granularity of our deposit base and the extent of our noninterest-bearing deposits.

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Average AFS securities balances increased $4.8 billion, or 26%, to $23.2 billion in 2022, mainly due to an increase in our agency guaranteed mortgage-backed securities portfolio. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we transferred approximately $10.7 billion fair value ($13.1 billion amortized cost) of mortgage-backed AFS securities to the held-to-maturity (“HTM”) category to reflect our intent for these securities.

Average borrowed funds increased $1.5 billion, or 74%, to $3.5 billion in 2022, driven by increases in short-term borrowings as a result of significant loan growth and declines in total deposits. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in long-term debt, primarily due to the redemption and maturity of senior notes during 2022 and 2021.

The following schedule presents year-over-year changes in net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis for the years indicated. For purposes of calculating the yields in this schedule, the average loan balances also include the principal amounts of nonaccrual and restructured loans. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are not recognized into interest income, but are applied as a reduction to the principal outstanding. In addition, interest on restructured loans is generally accrued at modified rates.

In the analysis of taxable-equivalent net interest income changes due to volume and rate, changes are allocated to volume with the following exceptions: when volume and rate both increase, the variance is allocated proportionately to both volume and rate; when the rate increases and volume decreases, the variance is allocated to rate.

Provision for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is the combination of both the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments (“RULC”). The ALLL represents the estimated current expected credit losses related to the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The RULC represents the estimated reserve for current expected credit losses associated with off-balance sheet commitments. Changes in the ALLL and RULC, net of charge-offs and recoveries, are recorded as the provision for loan and lease losses and the provision for unfunded lending commitments, respectively, in the income statement. The ACL for debt securities is estimated separately from loans and is recorded in investment securities on the consolidated balance sheet.

The provision for credit losses, which is the combination of both the provision for loan and lease losses and the provision for unfunded lending commitments, was $122 million in 2022, compared with $(276) million in 2021. The ACL was $636 million at December 31, 2022, compared with $553 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in the ACL was primarily due to loan growth and deterioration in economic scenarios, partially offset by improvements in credit quality. The ratio of ACL to net loans and leases (ex-PPP) was 1.15% and 1.13% at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The provision for securities losses was less than $1 million during 2022 and 2021.

The bar chart above illustrates the broad categories of change in the ACL from the prior year period. The second bar represents changes in economic scenarios and current economic conditions, which increased the ACL by $45 million from the prior year period.

The third bar represents changes in credit quality factors and includes risk-grade migration and specific reserves against loans, which, when combined, decreased the ACL by $6 million, indicating improvements in overall credit quality. Nonperforming assets decreased $123 million, or 45%, and classified loans decreased $307 million, or 25%. Net loan and lease charge-offs were $39 million, or 0.08% annualized of average loans (ex-PPP), in 2022, compared with $6 million, or 0.01% annualized of average loans (ex-PPP), in 2021.

The fourth bar represents loan portfolio changes, driven primarily by loan growth, as well as changes in portfolio mix, the aging of the portfolio, and other risk factors, all of which resulted in a $44 million increase in the ACL.

See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on how we determine the appropriate level of the ALLL and the RULC.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income represents revenue we earn from products and services that generally have no associated interest rate or yield and is classified as either customer-related or noncustomer-related. Customer-related noninterest income excludes items such as securities gains and losses, dividends, insurance-related income, and mark-to-market adjustments on certain derivatives.

Total noninterest income decreased $71 million, or 10%, in 2022, relative to the prior year. Noninterest income accounted for 20% and 24% of net revenue during 2022 and 2021, respectively. The following schedule presents a comparison of the major components of noninterest income.

1 Wealth management fees for 2020 included certain retirement service-related fees of $3 million. Beginning in 2021, those fees, which totaled $4 million, were reported in other customer-related noninterest income.

Customer-related Noninterest Income

Customer-related noninterest income growth reflects our focus on our key corporate objectives. We continue to deepen existing relationships with our commercial, small business, and retail customers by providing high-quality treasury management products, capital market solutions, wealth management advisory services, and depository account services.

Total customer-related noninterest income increased $39 million, or 7%, in 2022, largely driven by improved customer transaction volume and activity during the year. Key drivers impacting customer-related revenue included:

•Commercial account fees increased $22 million or 16%, driven by increases in account analysis, treasury management, and merchant fees. Commercial account fees also benefited from a one-time adjustment of approximately $6 million during the first quarter of 2022.

•Capital markets and foreign exchange fees increased $13 million, or 19%, primarily due to improved customer swap, loan syndication, and foreign exchange activity.

•Card fees increased $9 million, or 9%, due to increased commercial and business bankcard interchange fees.

•Other customer-related fee income increased $6 million, or 11%, due to growth in corporate trust fees, reflecting new business growth.

•Wealth management fee income increased $5 million, or 10%, reflecting growth in assets and ongoing adoption of wealth and advisory services from our customer base. Our assets under management increased $1.2 billion, or 11%, to $12.2 billion at December 31, 2022, despite declines in market valuations.

•Loan-related fees decreased $15 million or 16%, in 2022, primarily due to an increased proportion of our 1-4 family residential mortgage production being retained versus sold. During 2022, we experienced a strong increase in demand for adjustable-rate mortgages, which we generally retain on our balance sheet.

•Retail and business banking fees decreased $1 million, primarily due to changes in our overdraft and non-sufficient funds practices, which were effected early in the third quarter of 2022. The impact of these changes on customer-related noninterest income is expected to be ongoing.

Noncustomer-related Noninterest Income

Total noncustomer-related noninterest income decreased $110 million in 2022. Net securities gains and losses decreased $86 million, due largely to net gains recorded during the prior year related to our SBIC investment

portfolio. Dividends and other income declined $26 million, primarily due to a valuation loss recognized on one of our equity investments during the third quarter of 2022, as well as gains on the sale of certain bank-owned facilities during the prior year. These sales resulted from the consolidation of some of our technology and operations facilities in advance of occupying our new corporate technology center in July 2022.

Noninterest expense increased $137 million, or 8%, in 2022, relative to the prior year, primarily due to salaries and benefits expense, which represented the largest component of total noninterest expense during 2022 and 2021. The following schedule presents the major segments of salaries and employee benefits expense.

Full-time equivalent employees at December 31,	9,989		304		3	%	9,685		7		—	%	9,678

Total salaries and benefits expense increased $108 million, or 10%, primarily due to the ongoing impact of inflationary and competitive labor market pressures on wages and benefits, increased incentive compensation accruals arising from improvements in full-year profitability, and increased headcount. We had 9,989 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2022, an increase of approximately 3% relative to the prior year.

Other noninterest expense increased $18 million, primarily due to a negative valuation adjustment in the prior year related to the termination of our defined benefit pension plan, as well as increased travel and various other expenses incurred during the current year. Deposit insurance and regulatory expense increased $16 million, driven largely by a higher FDIC insurance assessment resulting from changes in our balance sheet composition.

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Technology, telecom, and information processing expense increased $10 million, mainly due to increased software licensing and maintenance expense, reflecting our ongoing investments in strategic technology initiatives designed to improve our products and services and to simplify how we do business. Professional and legal services expense decreased $15 million, due to third-party assistance associated with PPP loan forgiveness and other technology-related and outsourced services utilized in the prior year.

The efficiency ratio was 58.8%, compared with 60.8%, as growth in net revenue significantly outpaced growth in noninterest expense. For information on non-GAAP financial measures, including differences between noninterest expense and adjusted noninterest expense, see page 70.

Technology Spend

As the banking industry continues to move toward information technology-based products and services, we recognize there are disparate ways of discussing expenditures associated with technology-related investments and operations. We generally describe these expenditures as total technology spend, which includes current period expenses reported on our consolidated statement of income, and capitalized investments, net of related amortization and depreciation, reported on our consolidated balance sheet. We believe these disclosures provide more relevant presentation and discussion regarding our technology-related investments and operations.

Total technology spend represents expenditures for technology systems and infrastructure and is reported as a combination of the following:

•Technology, telecom, and information processing expense — includes expenses related to application software licensing and maintenance, related amortization, telecommunications, and data processing;

•Other technology-related expenses — includes related noncapitalized salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, and professional and legal services; and

•Technology investments — includes capitalized technology infrastructure equipment, hardware, and purchased or internally developed software, less related amortization or depreciation.

The following schedule presents information related to our technology spend.

FDIC premiums, certain executive compensation, and other fringe benefits. The effective tax rate for 2020 was further reduced by the proportional increase in nontaxable items and tax credits relative to a lower pretax book income, compared with 2021 and 2022. Additionally, investments in technology initiatives, low-income housing, and municipal securities during 2022, 2021, and 2020, generated tax credits and nontaxable income that benefited the effective tax rate for each respective year.

We had a net deferred tax asset (“DTA”) of $1.1 billion at December 31, 2022, compared with $0.1 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase in the net DTA was driven largely by the increase in unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) associated with investment securities and derivative instruments, the capitalization of certain expenses for tax purposes, and the provision for credit losses during 2022.

We had no valuation allowance at December 31, 2022. See Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the factors that impacted our effective tax rate, significant components of our DTAs and deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”), including our assessment regarding valuation allowances, and unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions.

Preferred Stock Dividends

Preferred stock dividends totaled $29 million in 2022 and 2021, and $34 million in 2020. The decrease in preferred dividends was due to the redemption of the outstanding shares of our Series H preferred stock during the second quarter of 2021. See further details in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Business Segment Results

We manage our operations through seven affiliate banks located in different geographic markets, each with its own local branding and management team. These affiliate banks comprise our primary business segments and include: Zions Bank, California Bank & Trust (“CB&T”), Amegy Bank (“Amegy”), National Bank of Arizona (“NBAZ”), Nevada State Bank (“NSB”), Vectra Bank Colorado (“Vectra”), and The Commerce Bank of Washington (“TCBW”). We emphasize local authority, responsibility, and pricing, with customization of certain products (as applicable) to maximize customer satisfaction and strengthen community relations. Our affiliate banks are supported by an enterprise operating segment (referred to as the “Other” segment) that provides governance and risk management, allocates capital, establishes strategic objectives, and includes centralized technology, back-office functions, and certain lines of business not operated through our affiliate banks.

We allocate the cost of centrally provided services to the business segments based upon estimated or actual usage of those services. We also allocate capital based on the risk-weighted assets held at each business segment. We use an internal funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) allocation process to report results of operations for business segments. This process is subject to change and refinement over time. Where applicable, prior period amounts have been revised to reflect the impact of these changes had they been instituted for the periods presented. For more performance information related to our business segments, including the Other segment, see Note 22 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

1 During the fourth quarter of 2022, we transferred approximately $10.7 billion fair value ($13.1 billion amortized cost) of mortgage-backed AFS securities to the HTM category to reflect our intent for these securities. The amortized cost basis of these securities does not include $2.4 billion of unrealized losses in AOCI that is amortized over the life of the securities. The amortization of the unrealized losses reported in AOCI will offset the effect of the accretion of the discount in interest income that is created by adjusting the amortized cost basis to the securities' fair value on the date of the transfer.

The amortized cost of total HTM and AFS investment securities increased $21 million during 2022. Approximately 8% and 11% of the total HTM and AFS investment securities portfolio had a variable-rate at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

At December 31, 2022, the AFS investment securities portfolio included approximately $290 million of net premium that was distributed across various security types. Total taxable-equivalent premium amortization for these investment securities was $103 million in 2022, compared with $118 million in 2021.

In addition to HTM and AFS securities, we also have a Trading securities portfolio of $465 million and $372 million, at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which is comprised primarily of municipal securities and money market sweep transactions for customers. Refer to the “Capital Management” section on page 65 and Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more discussion regarding our investment securities portfolio and related unrealized gains and losses.

Municipal Investments and Extensions of Credit

We support our communities by providing products and services to state and local governments (“municipalities”), including deposit services, loans, and investment banking services. We also invest in securities issued by municipalities. Our municipal lending products generally include loans in which the debt service is repaid from general funds or pledged revenues of the municipal entity, or to private commercial entities or 501(c)(3) not-for-profit entities utilizing a pass-through municipal entity to achieve favorable tax treatment.

At December 31, 2022, no municipal loans were on nonaccrual.

Municipal securities are internally graded, similar to loans, using risk-grading systems which vary based on the size and type of credit risk exposure. The internal risk grades assigned to our municipal securities follow our definitions of Pass, Special Mention, and Substandard, which are consistent with published definitions of regulatory risk classifications. At December 31, 2022, all municipal securities were graded as Pass. See Notes 5 and 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the credit quality of these municipal loans and securities.

Total other noninterest-bearing investments increased $279 million, or 33%, primarily due to a $283 million increase in FHLB stock. We are required to invest 4% of our FHLB borrowings in FHLB stock to maintain our borrowing capacity. The increase in FHLB stock was driven largely by increases in FHLB short-term borrowings during 2022 as a result of loan growth and declines in interest-bearing deposits.

Premises, Equipment, and Software

Net premises, equipment, and software increased $89 million, or 7%, primarily due to capitalized costs related to the construction of a new corporate technology center in Midvale, Utah, which was completed in July 2022, and a new corporate center for Vectra in Denver, Colorado, which was completed in January 2023.

We are also in the final phase of a three-phase project to replace our core loan and deposit banking systems, and are on track to convert our deposit servicing system in 2023. Capitalized costs associated with the core system replacement project are generally amortized over ten years, and are summarized in the following schedule.

Deposits

Deposits are our primary funding source. In recent years, we benefited from a significant influx of deposits, which was impacted by considerable fiscal and monetary policy decisions. Our strong liquidity position at the beginning of 2022 afforded us the ability to prioritize the quality of deposits over quantity. During 2022, with the withdrawal of stimulus by the federal government, our deposits declined to more normalized levels and remained above regulatory and internal Bank limits.

The following schedule presents our deposits by category and percentage of total deposits.

Time	2,309		3.2		1,622		2.0
Total deposits	$	71,652	100.0	%	$	82,789	100.0	%

Total deposits decreased $11.1 billion, or 13%, in 2022, primarily due to decreases in larger-balance and more rate-sensitive, nonoperating deposits. Interest-bearing deposits decreased $5.9 billion, or 14%, and noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $5.3 billion, or 13%. Total deposits included $0.9 billion and $0.4 billion of brokered deposits for the same time periods. Total deposits at December 31, 2022 also included approximately $347 million in deposits associated with the purchase of three Northern Nevada City National Bank branches by NSB in July 2022.

Our deposit costs remained well controlled, reflecting the granularity of our deposit base and the extent of our noninterest-bearing deposits. We continue to actively manage our deposit base and associated deposit costs in response to the rising interest rate environment. We expect our deposit costs to increase over the near term in view of increased competition for low-cost funding sources. Nevertheless, we expect our overall cost of funds to remain low relative to our peers. See Notes 12 and 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Liquidity Risk Management” on page 60 for additional information on funding and borrowed funds.

Total time deposits that exceed the current FDIC insurance limit of $250,000 totaled $527 million and $563 million at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The estimated total amount of uninsured deposits, including related interest accrued and unpaid, was $38 billion and $49 billion at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management is an integral part of our operations and is a key determinant of our overall performance. We utilize the three lines of defense approach to risk management with responsibilities for each line of defense defined in our Risk Management Framework. The first line of defense represents units and functions throughout the Bank engaged in activities related to revenue generation, expense reduction, operational support, and technology services. These units and functions are accountable for owning and managing the risks associated with these activities. The second line of defense represents functions responsible for independently assessing and overseeing risk management activities. The third line of defense is our internal audit function that provides independent assessment of the effectiveness of the first and second lines of defense.

In support of management’s efforts, the Board has established certain committees to oversee our risk management processes. The Audit Committee oversees financial reporting risk, and the ROC oversees the other risk management processes. The ROC meets on a regular basis to monitor and review Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) activities. As required by its charter, the ROC provides oversight for various ERM activities and approves ERM policies and activities as detailed in the ROC charter.

We employ various strategies to reduce the risks to which our operations are exposed, including credit risk, market and interest rate risk, liquidity risk, strategic and business risk, operational risk, technology risk, cybersecurity risk, capital/financial reporting risk, legal/compliance risk (including regulatory risk), and reputational risk. These risks are overseen by various management committees of which the Enterprise Risk Management Committee is the focal point.

Credit Risk Management

Credit risk is the possibility of loss from the failure of a borrower, guarantor, or another obligor to fully perform under the terms of a credit-related contract. Credit risk arises primarily from our lending activities, as well as from off-balance sheet credit instruments. The Board, through the ROC, is responsible for approving the overall credit policies relating to the management of credit risk. The ROC also oversees and monitors adherence to key credit policies and the credit risk appetite as defined in the Risk Management Framework. The Board has delegated responsibility for managing credit risk and approving changes to credit policies to the Chief Credit Officer, who chairs the Credit Risk Committee.

Credit policies, credit risk management, and credit examination functions inform and support the oversight of credit risk. Our credit policies emphasize strong underwriting standards and early detection of potential problem credits in order to develop and implement action plans on a timely basis to mitigate potential losses. These formal credit policies and procedures provide us with a framework for consistent underwriting and a basis for sound credit decisions at the local banking affiliate level. Policies include standards for sensitivity and scenario analyses that assess the resilience of the borrower, including the borrower’s ability to service the loan in a rising interest rate environment.

Our credit policies and practices are also designed to help manage potential risks, including those arising from environmental issues. Environmental risk related to our lending practices is primarily covered in our environmental credit policy and by our environmental subject matter experts and management. The extent of environmental due diligence performed by our environmental risk team is based on the risks identified at each property and the loan amount. The extension of credit to certain borrowers, or those connected with certain activities, may be restricted or require escalated approval, by policy, because of various environmental risks.

Our credit risk management function is separate from the lending function and strengthens control over, and the independent evaluation of, credit activities. In addition, we have a well-defined set of standards for evaluating our loan portfolio, and we utilize a comprehensive loan risk-grading system to determine the risk potential in the portfolio.

The internal credit examination department, which is independent of the lending function, periodically conducts examinations of our lending departments and credit activities. These examinations are designed to review credit

quality, adequacy of documentation, appropriate loan risk-grading administration, and compliance with credit policies. Credit examinations related to the ACL are reported to both the Audit Committee and the ROC.

Our overall credit risk management strategy includes diversification of our loan portfolio. Our business activity is conducted primarily within the geographic footprint of our banking affiliates. We strive to avoid the risk of undue concentrations of credit in any particular industry, collateral type, location, or with any individual customer or counterparty. We have adopted and adhere to concentration limits on certain commercial industries, including leveraged lending, municipal lending, oil and gas-related lending, and various types of CRE lending, particularly construction and land development lending. Concentration limits are regularly monitored and revised as necessary.

Government Agency Guaranteed Loans

We participate in various guaranteed lending programs sponsored by U.S. government agencies, such as the SBA, Federal Housing Authority, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Export-Import Bank of the U.S., and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At December 31, 2022, approximately $649 million of these loans were guaranteed, primarily by the SBA. The following schedule presents the composition of U.S. government agency guaranteed loans.

Commercial Real Estate Loans

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, our CRE loan portfolio totaled $12.7 billion and $12.2 billion, representing approximately 23% and 24% of the total loan portfolio, respectively. The majority of our CRE loans are secured by real estate, which is primarily located within our geographic footprint.

At December 31, 2022, approximately 26% of the CRE loan portfolio matures in one year or less. Construction and land development loans generally mature in 18 to 36 months and contain full or partial recourse guarantee structures with one- to five-year extension options or roll-to-perm options that often result in term debt. Term CRE loans generally mature within a three- to seven-year period and consist of full, partial, and non-recourse guarantee structures. Typical term CRE loan structures include annually tested operating covenants that require loan rebalancing based on minimum debt service coverage, debt yield, or loan-to-value tests.

The following schedule provides information regarding lending exposures to certain collateral types in our commercial real estate lending portfolio.

1 Included in the total amount of the “Other” category was approximately $301 million and $440 million of unsecured loans at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Underwriting on commercial properties is primarily based on the economic viability of the project with significant consideration given to the creditworthiness and experience of the sponsor. We generally require that the owner’s equity be injected prior to any advances. Re-margining requirements (required equity infusions upon a decline in value or cash flow of the collateral) are often included in the loan agreement along with guarantees of the sponsor.

Within the residential construction and development sector, many of the requirements previously mentioned, such as creditworthiness and experience of the developer, up-front injection of the developer’s equity, principal curtailment requirements, and the viability of the project are also important in underwriting a residential development loan. Consideration is given to the expected market acceptance of the product, location, strength of the developer, and the ability of the developer to stay within budget. Progress inspections by qualified independent inspectors are routinely performed before disbursing loan funds. Advance rates will vary based on the collateral, viability of the project, and the creditworthiness of the sponsor, with exceptions granted on a case-by-case basis.

Real estate appraisals are performed in accordance with regulatory guidelines and are validated independently of the loan officer and the borrower, generally by our internal appraisal review team. In some cases, reports from automated valuation services are used or internal evaluations are performed. A new appraisal or evaluation is required when a loan deteriorates to a certain level of credit weakness.

Loan agreements require regular financial information on the project and the sponsor in addition to lease schedules, rent rolls and, on construction projects, independent progress inspection reports. We monitor this financial information to ensure adherence to covenants set forth in the loan agreement.

The existence of a guarantee that improves the likelihood of repayment is taken into consideration when evaluating CRE loans for expected losses. If guarantor support is quantifiable and documented, it is considered in the potential cash flows and liquidity available for debt repayment. Our expected loss methodology also considers these sources of repayment. In general, we obtain and evaluate updated financial information for the guarantor as part of our determination to extend credit. The quality and frequency of financial reporting collected and analyzed varies depending on the contractual requirements for reporting, the size of the transaction, and the strength of the guarantor.

In the event of default, we pursue any and all available sources of repayment, including from collateral and guarantors. A number of factors are considered when deciding whether to pursue a guarantor, including, but not limited to, the value and liquidity of other sources of repayment (collateral), the financial strength and liquidity of the guarantor, possible statutory limitations, and the overall cost of pursuing a guarantee versus the amount we are likely to recover.

Consumer Loans

Residential Mortgages

We originate first-lien residential home mortgages considered to be of prime quality. We generally hold variable-rate loans in our portfolio and sell “conforming” fixed-rate loans to third parties, including Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, for which we make representations and warranties that the loans meet certain underwriting and collateral documentation standards.

Our 1-4 family residential mortgage loan portfolio increased $1.2 billion, or 20%, to $7.3 billion at December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increased demand for variable-rate mortgages, which we have retained as part of our overall interest rate risk management strategy.

Home Equity Credit Lines

We also originate home equity credit lines (“HECL”). At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the outstanding balance of our HECL portfolio totaled $3.4 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively. The following schedule presents the composition of our HECL portfolio by lien status.

Schedule 25

HECL PORTFOLIO BY LIEN STATUS


	December 31
(In millions)	2022		2021

Secured by first liens	$	1,474	$	1,503
Secured by second (or junior) liens	1,903		1,513
Total	$	3,377	$	3,016

At December 31, 2022, loans representing less than 1% of the outstanding balance in the HECL portfolio were estimated to have combined loan-to-value (“CLTV”) ratios above 100%. An estimated CLTV ratio is the ratio of our loan plus any prior lien amounts divided by the estimated current collateral-value. At origination, underwriting standards for the HECL portfolio generally include a maximum 80% CLTV with high credit scores.

Approximately 91% of our HECL portfolio is still in the draw period, and about 18% of those loans are scheduled to begin amortizing within the next five years. We believe the risk of loss and borrower default in the event of a loan becoming fully amortizing and the effect of significant interest rate changes is minimal. The ratio of HECL net recoveries for the trailing twelve months to average balances at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was 0.03% and 0.01%, respectively. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the credit quality of our 1-4 family residential mortgage portfolio and our HECL portfolio.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”) or foreclosed properties. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and leases and OREO decreased to 0.27% at December 31, 2022, compared with 0.53% at December 31, 2021.

Total nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2022 decreased to $149 million from $271 million, reflecting strong credit quality improvements across most of our loan portfolios. The balance of nonaccrual loans can decrease due to paydowns, charge-offs, and the return of loans to accrual status under certain conditions. If a nonaccrual loan is refinanced or restructured, the new note is immediately placed on nonaccrual. If a restructured loan performs under the new terms for at least a period of six months, the loan can be considered for return to accrual status. See “Restructured Loans” and Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on nonaccrual loans. The following schedule presents our nonperforming assets and accruing loans past due 90 days or more.

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans

Loans may be modified in the normal course of business for competitive reasons or to strengthen our collateral position. Loan modifications and restructurings may also occur when the borrower experiences financial difficulty and needs temporary or permanent relief from the original contractual terms of the loan. Loans that have been modified to accommodate a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties, and for which we have granted a concession that we would not otherwise consider, are classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). At December 31, 2022 and 2021, TDRs totaled $235 million and $326 million, respectively. Modifications that qualified for applicable accounting and regulatory exemptions for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties exclusively related to the COVID-19 pandemic were not classified and reported as TDRs.

If the restructured loan performs for at least six months according to the modified terms, and an analysis of the customer’s financial condition indicates that we are reasonably assured of repayment of the modified principal and interest, the loan may be returned to accrual status. The borrower’s payment performance prior to and following the restructuring is taken into account to determine whether a loan is returned to accrual status.

The total ACL increased $83 million during 2022, primarily due to loan growth and deterioration in economic scenarios, partially offset by improvements in credit quality. Due to the adoption of the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) standard in 2020, the ACL is not comparable to periods presented prior to that time.

The RULC, which represents a reserve for potential losses associated with off-balance sheet loan commitments, increased $21 million during 2022. The reserve is separately recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in “Other liabilities,” and any related increases or decreases in the reserve are recorded on the consolidated income statement in “Provision for unfunded lending commitments.”

See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to the ACL and credit trends experienced in each portfolio segment.

Interest Rate and Market Risk Management

Interest rate risk is the potential for reduced net interest income and other rate-sensitive income resulting from adverse changes in the level of interest rates. Market risk is the potential for loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of fixed-income securities, equity securities, other earning assets, and derivative financial instruments as a result of changes in interest rates or other factors. Because we engage in transactions involving various financial products, we are exposed to both interest rate risk and market risk.

Our Board approves the overall policies relating to the management of our financial risk, including interest rate and market risk management. The Board has delegated the responsibility of managing our interest rate and market risk to the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”), which consists of members of management. ALCO establishes and periodically revises policy limits and reviews with the ROC the limits and limit exceptions reported by management.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is one of the most significant risks to which we are regularly exposed. We strive to position the Bank for interest rate changes and manage the balance sheet sensitivity to reduce net interest income volatility. We generally have granular, stable deposit funding. Much of this funding has an indeterminate life with no maturity and can be withdrawn at any time. However, because most deposits come from household and business accounts, their duration is generally long, compared with the short duration of our loan portfolio. As such, we are naturally “asset-sensitive” — meaning that our assets are expected to reprice faster or more significantly than our liabilities. In previous interest rate environments, we have added (1) interest rate swaps to synthetically increase the duration of the loan portfolio, (2) longer-duration securities, and (3) longer-duration loans to reduce the asset sensitivity to a level where an increase in interest rates of 100 bps would result in a positive change in net interest income.

Asset sensitivity measures depend upon assumptions we use for deposit runoff and repricing behavior. As interest rates rise, we expect some customers to move balances from demand deposits to interest-bearing accounts such as money market, savings, or certificates of deposit. Our models are particularly sensitive to the assumption about the rate of such migration.

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

We also assume a correlation, referred to as a “deposit beta,” with respect to interest-bearing deposits, wherein the rates paid to customers change at a different pace when compared with changes in average benchmark interest rates. Generally, certificates of deposit are assumed to have a high correlation, while interest-bearing checking accounts are assumed to have a lower correlation. We anticipate that changes in deposit rates will lag changes in reference rates. Our modeled cost of total deposits for December 2023 is approximately 0.80% without the effect of additional Federal Reserve rate hikes. Additional rate hikes would be expected to result in further increases to the cost of total deposits.

Actual results may differ materially due to various factors, including the shape of the yield curve, competitive pricing, money supply, our credit worthiness, etc. We use our historical experience as well as industry data to inform our assumptions. The migration and correlation assumptions previously discussed result in deposit durations presented in the following schedule:

Schedule 31

DEPOSIT ASSUMPTIONS


	December 31, 2022				December 31, 2021
Product	Effective duration (unchanged)		Effective duration (+200 bps)		Effective duration (unchanged)		Effective duration (+200 bps)

Demand deposits	3.6	%	3.5	%	3.6	%	2.8	%
Money market	2.3	%	2.0	%	1.7	%	1.7	%
Savings and interest-bearing	3.1	%	2.8	%	2.4	%	2.2	%

As the more rate-sensitive deposits have runoff, the effective duration of deposits has lengthened due to remaining deposits that are assumed to be less rate sensitive.

Additionally, we utilize derivatives to manage interest rate risk. The following schedule presents derivatives that are designated in qualifying hedging relationships at December 31, 2022. Included are the average outstanding derivative notional amounts for each period presented and the weighted average fixed-rate paid or received for each category of cash flow and fair value hedge.

1 Cash flow asset hedges consist of receive-fixed swaps hedging pools of floating-rate loans.

2 Fair value debt hedges consist of receive-fixed swaps hedging fixed-rate debt. The $500 million fair value debt hedge matures at the end of July 2029.

3 Fair value asset hedges consist of pay-fixed swaps hedging fixed-rate AFS securities. Increasing notional amounts are due to forward starting swaps.

Incorporating the deposit assumptions and the impact of derivatives in qualifying hedging relationships previously discussed, the following schedule presents earnings at risk (“EaR”), or the percentage change in 12-month forward-looking net interest income, and our estimated percentage change in economic value of equity (“EVE”). Both EaR and EVE are based on a static balance sheet size under parallel interest rate changes ranging from -100 bps to +300 bps.

1 Assumes rates cannot go below zero in the negative rate shift.

The asset sensitivity, as measured by EaR, decreased during 2022, primarily due to (1) deposit runoff, (2) an increase in receive-fixed-rate swap notional, (3) an increase in the amount of fixed-rate securities, and (4) a higher level of “base-case” net interest income, which reduced the percentage change for the same modeled dollar change in net interest income.

For interest-bearing deposits with indeterminate maturity, the weighted average modeled beta is 26%. If the weighted average deposit beta were to increase to 35%, the EaR in the +100 bps rate shock would change from 2.4% to 1.3%.

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

The EaR analysis focuses on parallel rate shocks across the term structure of benchmark interest rates. In a non-parallel rate scenario where the overnight rate increases 200 bps, but the ten-year rate increases only 30 bps, the increase in EaR is modeled to be approximately two-thirds of the change associated with the parallel +200 bps rate change.

EaR has inherent limitations in describing expected changes in net interest income in rapidly changing interest rate environments due to a lag in asset and liability repricing behavior. As such, we expect net interest income to change due to “latent” and “emergent” interest rate sensitivity. Unlike EaR, which measures net interest income over 12 months, latent and emergent interest rate sensitivity explains changes in current quarter net interest income (ex-PPP), compared with expected net interest income in the same quarter one year forward.

Latent interest rate sensitivity refers to future changes in net interest income based upon past rate movements that have yet to be fully recognized in revenue, but will be recognized over the near term. We expect latent sensitivity to reduce net interest income by approximately 1% at December 31, 2023, compared with December 31, 2022 (ex-PPP).

Emergent interest rate sensitivity refers to future changes in net interest income based upon future interest rate movements and is measured from the latent level of net interest income. If interest rates rise consistent with the forward curve at December 31, 2022, we expect emergent sensitivity to reduce net interest income by approximately 1% from the latent sensitivity level, for a cumulative 2% reduction in net interest income.

Our focus on business banking also plays a significant role in determining the nature of our asset-liability management posture. At December 31, 2022, $25.2 billion of our commercial lending and CRE loan balances were scheduled to reprice in the next six months. Of these variable-rate loans, approximately 98% are tied to either the prime rate, London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), American Interbank Offered Rate (“AMERIBOR”), or Bloomberg Short-term Bank Yield (“BSBY”). For these variable-rate loans, we have executed $7.3 billion of cash flow hedges by receiving fixed rates on interest rate swaps. At December 31, 2022, we also had $3.6 billion of variable-rate consumer loans scheduled to reprice in the next six months. The impact on asset sensitivity from commercial or consumer loans with floors has become insignificant as rates have risen. See Notes 3 and 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding derivative instruments.

LIBOR Transition

LIBOR is being phased out globally, and banks are required to migrate to alternative reference rates no later than June 2023. To facilitate the transition process, we instituted an orderly enterprise-wide program to identify, assess, and monitor risks associated with the expected discontinuance or unavailability of LIBOR. This program included active engagement or involvement of senior management, the Enterprise Risk Management Committee, industry working groups, and our regulators.

We have implemented processes, procedures, and systems to ensure contract risk is sufficiently mitigated. New originations, and any modifications or renewals of LIBOR-based contracts, contain fallback language to facilitate transition to an alternative reference rate. For our contracts that referenced LIBOR and had a duration beyond June 2023, all fallback provisions and variations were identified and classified based upon those provisions.

At December 31, 2022, we had approximately $14.2 billion in loans (mainly commercial loans), unfunded lending commitments, and securities referencing LIBOR. The amount of borrowed funds referencing LIBOR at December 31, 2022 was less than $1 billion. These amounts exclude derivative assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2022, the notional amount of our LIBOR-referenced interest rate derivative contracts was $8.4 billion, of which nearly all related to contracts with central counterparty clearinghouses.

We support our customers’ needs by accommodating various alternative reference rates, including the Constant Maturity Treasury (“CMT”) rate, the FHLB rate, SOFR, BSBY, the prime rate, and AMERIBOR. During 2022, a significant number of customers voluntarily migrated to an alternative reference rate. We expect the remaining

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

customers will move to an alternative rate index in accordance with the relevant fallback provisions in their contracts prior to June 2023. Under the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act of 2022, the Federal Reserve identified benchmark replacement rates for LIBOR contracts lacking fallback provisions with a clearly defined or practical replacement benchmark rate. Where applicable, these replacement rates will be used.

For more information on the transition from LIBOR, see related risk factors on page 13.

Market Risk — Fixed Income

We underwrite municipal and corporate securities. We also trade municipal, agency, and U.S. Treasury securities. This underwriting and trading activity exposes us to a risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the prices of these fixed-income securities.

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had $465 million and $372 million of trading assets, and $187 million and $254 million of securities sold, not yet purchased, respectively. We are exposed to market risk through changes in fair value. This includes market risk for interest rate swaps used to hedge interest rate risk.

Changes in the fair value of AFS securities and in interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges are included in AOCI for each financial reporting period. During 2022, the after-tax change in AOCI attributable to AFS securities decreased $2.7 billion, compared with a $336 million decrease during 2021, due largely to increases in benchmark interest rates. See Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the accounting for investment securities.

As discussed in the Net Interest Income and NIM section above, our deposit costs remained well controlled, reflecting the granularity of our deposit base and the extent of our noninterest-bearing deposits. This funding advantage is more pronounced in a rising interest rate environment, creating meaningful economic value that is not fully reflected on our balance sheet since deposits and related intangible assets are not recorded at fair value for accounting purposes.

Market Risk — Equity Investments

Through our equity investment activities, we own equity securities that are publicly traded. In addition, we own equity securities in governmental entities and companies, e.g., Federal Reserve Bank and the FHLB, that are not publicly traded. Equity investments may be accounted for at cost less impairment and adjusted for observable price changes, fair value, the equity method, or full consolidation methods of accounting, depending on our ownership position and degree of influence over the investees’ business. Regardless of the accounting method, the value of our investment is subject to fluctuation. Because the fair value of these securities may fall below the cost at which we acquired them, we are exposed to the possibility of loss. Equity investments in private and public companies are evaluated, monitored, and approved by members of management in our Equity Investments Committee and Securities Valuation Committee.

We hold both direct and indirect investments in predominantly pre-public companies, primarily through various SBIC venture capital funds as a strategy to provide beneficial financing, growth, and expansion opportunities to diverse businesses generally in communities within our geographic footprint. Our equity exposure to these investments was approximately $172 million and $179 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. On occasion, some of the companies within our SBIC investments may issue an initial public offering (“IPO”). In this case, the fund is generally subject to a lockout period before liquidating the investment, which can introduce additional market risk. See Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the valuation of our SBIC investments.

Liquidity Risk Management

Overview

Liquidity refers to our ability to meet our cash, contractual, and collateral obligations, and to manage both expected and unexpected cash flows without adversely impacting our operations or financial strength. Sources of liquidity include deposits, borrowings, equity, and unencumbered assets, such as marketable loans and investment securities.

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Since liquidity risk is closely linked to both credit risk and market risk, many of the previously described risk control mechanisms also apply to the monitoring and management of liquidity risk. We manage our liquidity to provide adequate funds for our customers’ credit needs, capital plan actions, anticipated financial and contractual obligations, which include withdrawals by depositors, debt and capital service requirements, and lease obligations.

Overseeing liquidity management is the responsibility of ALCO, which implements a Board-approved corporate Liquidity Policy. This policy addresses monitoring and maintaining adequate liquidity, diversifying funding positions, and anticipating future funding needs. The policy also includes liquidity ratio guidelines, such as a 30-day liquidity coverage ratio, that are used to monitor our liquidity positions as well as our various stress test and liquid asset measurements. We perform liquidity stress tests and assess our portfolio of highly liquid assets (sufficient to cover 30-day funding needs under stress scenarios). Our AFS investment securities are primarily held as a source of contingent liquidity. We target securities that can be readily turned into cash through repurchase agreements or sales. We manage our short-term funding needs through secured borrowing with securities pledged as collateral. At December 31, 2022, our investment securities portfolio of $23.5 billion and cash and money market investments of $4.4 billion, collectively comprised 31% of total assets.

Our Treasury group, under the direction of the Corporate Treasurer, manages our liquidity and funding, with oversight by ALCO. The Treasurer is responsible for recommending changes to existing funding plans and our policies related to liquidity and funding. These recommendations are submitted for approval to ALCO, and changes to the policies are also approved by the ERMC and the Board. We have adopted policy limits that govern liquidity risk. The policy requires us to maintain a buffer of highly liquid assets sufficient to cover cash outflows in the event of a severe liquidity crisis. We complied with this policy throughout 2022.

Liquidity Regulation

We perform liquidity stress tests and assess our portfolio of highly liquid assets (sufficient to cover 30-day funding needs under the stress scenarios) even though we are no longer subject to the enhanced prudential standards for liquidity management (Reg. YY). In addition, we exceed the regulatory requirements that mandate a buffer of securities and other liquid assets to cover 70% of 30-day cash outflows under the assumptions mandated therein, although we are no longer subject to the regulations of the Final LCR Rule.

Liquidity Management Actions

Our consolidated cash, interest-bearing deposits held as investments, federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell totaled $4.4 billion at December 31, 2022, compared with $13.0 billion at December 31, 2021. During 2022, the primary sources of cash came from an increase in short-term funds borrowed, a decrease in money market investments, and net cash provided by operating activities. Uses of cash during the same period included primarily an increase in loans and leases, an increase in investment securities, and the redemption of long-term debt.

Total deposits were $71.7 billion at December 31, 2022, compared with $82.8 billion at December 31, 2021. The $11.1 billion decrease during 2022 was a result of a $5.3 billion and $6.5 billion decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and savings and money market deposits, respectively, partially offset by a $0.7 billion increase in time deposits. Our core deposits, consisting of noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings and money market deposits, and time deposits under $250,000, were $70.3 billion at December 31, 2022, compared with $81.9 billion at December 31, 2021.

At December 31, 2022, maturities of our long-term senior and subordinated debt ranged from June 2023 to October 2029. In February 2022, we redeemed $290 million of the 4-year, 3.35% senior notes.

Our cash payments for interest, reflected in operating expenses, increased to $160 million during 2022, from $81 million during 2021, primarily due to higher interest rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds and an increased balance of fed funds and other short-term borrowings. Additionally, we paid approximately $269 million of dividends on preferred and common stock during 2022, compared with $263 million during 2021. Dividends paid

per common share were $1.58 in 2022, compared with $1.44 in 2021. In January 2023, the Board approved a quarterly common dividend of $0.41 per share.

General financial market and economic conditions impact our access to, and cost of, external financing. Access to funding markets is also directly affected by the credit ratings received from various rating agencies. The ratings not only influence the costs associated with borrowings, but can also influence the sources of the borrowings. All of the credit rating agencies rate our debt at an investment-grade level. During 2022, Moody’s improved its credit rating and upgraded its outlook. The following schedule presents our credit ratings.

The FHLB system and Federal Reserve Banks have been, and continue to be, a significant source of additional liquidity and funding. We are a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, which allows member banks to borrow against eligible loans and securities to satisfy liquidity and funding requirements. We are required to invest in FHLB and Federal Reserve stock to maintain our borrowing capacity. At December 31, 2022, our total investment in FHLB and Federal Reserve stock was $294 million and $68 million, respectively, compared with $11 million and $81 million at December 31, 2021.

The amount available for additional FHLB and Federal Reserve borrowings was approximately $13.4 billion at December 31, 2022, compared with $18.3 billion at December 31, 2021. Loans with a carrying value of approximately $27.6 billion at December 31, 2022 have been pledged at the FHLB of Des Moines and the Federal Reserve as collateral for current and potential borrowings, compared with $26.8 billion at December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2022, we had $7.1 billion of short-term FHLB borrowings outstanding and no Federal Reserve borrowings outstanding, compared with no FHLB or Federal Reserve borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2021.

Total borrowed funds increased by $9.2 billion during 2022, driven by increases in short-term borrowings as a result of loan growth and declines in interest-bearing deposits. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in long-term debt, primarily due to the redemption of senior notes during the first quarter of 2022.

We may, from time to time, issue additional preferred stock, senior or subordinated notes, or other forms of capital or debt instruments, depending on our capital, funding, asset-liability management, or other needs as market conditions warrant. These additional issuances may be subject to required regulatory approvals. We believe that our sources of available liquidity are adequate to meet all reasonably foreseeable short- and intermediate-term demands.

3 Commitments to make venture and other noninterest-bearing investments do not have defined maturity dates. They are due upon demand and may be drawn immediately. Therefore, these commitments are shown as having indeterminable maturities.

4 The values presented do not reflect the associated hedges.

In addition to the commitments specifically noted in the schedule above, we enter into a number of contractual commitments in the ordinary course of business. These include software licensing and maintenance, telecommunications services, facilities maintenance and equipment servicing, supplies purchasing, and other goods and services used in the operation of our business. Some of these contracts are renewable or cancellable annually or in shorter time intervals. To secure favorable pricing concessions, we may also commit to contracts that may extend several years.

We enter into derivative contracts under which we are required either to receive or pay cash, depending on changes in interest rates. These contracts are measured at fair value on the balance sheet, reflecting the net present value of the expected future cash receipts and payments based on market interest rates. See Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on derivative contracts.

Operational, Technology, and Cybersecurity Risk Management

Operational Risk Management

Operational risk is the risk to current or anticipated earnings or capital arising from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, human errors or misconduct, or adverse external events. ERM assists employees, management, and the Board with assessing, measuring, managing, and monitoring this risk in accordance with our Risk Management Framework. For example, we have documented control self-assessments related to financial reporting under the 2013 framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and the FDICIA.

We have instituted a number of measures to manage our operational risk, including, but not limited to: (1) transactional documentation requirements; (2) systems and procedures to monitor transactions and positions; (3) systems and procedures to detect and mitigate attempts to commit fraud, penetrate our systems or telecommunications, access customer data, or deny normal access to those systems to our legitimate customers; (4)

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

regulatory compliance reviews; and (5) periodic reviews by our Compliance Risk Management, Internal Audit, Operational Risk Management, and Credit Examination departments. Reconciliation procedures have been established to ensure that data processing systems consistently and accurately capture critical data. In addition, the Data Governance department provides additional oversight of data integrity and data availability. Further, we maintain disaster recovery and business continuity plans for operational support in the event of natural or other disasters. We also mitigate certain operational risks through the purchase of insurance, including errors and omissions and professional liability insurance.

We continually strive to improve our operational risk management, including enhancement of risk identification, risk and control self-assessments, business process mappings, regular tests of controls, and anti-fraud measures, which are reported on a regular basis to enterprise management committees. The Operational Risk Committee reports directly to the ROC. Key measures have been established in line with our Risk Management Framework to increase oversight by ERM and Operational Risk Management through the strengthening of new initiative reviews and enhancements to enterprise supply chain and vendor risk management. We also continue to enhance and strengthen the Enterprise Business Continuity program, Enterprise Security program, and Enterprise Incident Management reporting.

Significant enhancements have also been made to governance, technology, and reporting, including the establishment of Policy and Committee Governance programs; the implementation of a governance, risk, and control system to manage and integrate business processes, risks, controls, assessments, and control testing; and the creation of an Enterprise Risk Profile and Operational Risk Profile. In addition, our Enterprise Exam Management department has standardized our response and reporting, and increased our effectiveness and efficiencies with regulatory examination, communications and issues management.

Technology Risk Management

Technology risk is the risk of adverse impact to business operations and customers due to reduced or denied availability or inadequate value delivery caused by technology-related assets, infrastructure, strategy or processes. We make significant investments to enhance our technology capabilities and to mitigate the risk from outdated and unsupported technologies (technical debt). This includes updating core banking systems, as well as introducing new digital customer-facing capabilities. Technology projects, initiatives, and operations are governed by a change management framework that assesses the activities and risk within our business processes to limit disruption and resource constraints. New, expanded, or modified products and services, as well as new lines of business, change initiative status, and other risks are regularly reviewed and approved by the Change, Initiatives, and Technology Committee. This Committee includes, among other senior executives, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Information Officer, and Chief Risk Officer. Initiative risk and change impact from the framework are reported to the ROC.

Technology governance is also in place at the operational level within our Enterprise and Technology Operations (“ETO”) division to help ensure safety, soundness, operational resiliency, and compliance with our technology and cybersecurity policy requirements. ETO management teams participate in enterprise architecture review boards and technology risk councils to address such issues as enterprise standards compliance and strategic alignment, cybersecurity vulnerability management, end-of-life, audit, risk and compliance issue management, and asset management. Thresholds are defined to escalate risks in these areas to the attention of the ROC and ERMC committees as appropriate.

Cybersecurity Risk Management

Cybersecurity risk is the risk of adverse impacts to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data owned, stored or processed by the Bank. The number and sophistication of attempts to disrupt or penetrate our systems, and those of our suppliers — sometimes referred to as hacking, cybersecurity fraud, cyberattacks, or other similar names — continues to grow. To combat the ever-increasing sophistication of cyberattacks, we are continually improving methods for detecting and preventing attacks. We have implemented policies and procedures, benchmarked to industry, regulatory, and cybersecurity frameworks (e.g., National Institute of Standards and Technology), developed specific training for our employees, monitored threats through our Cybersecurity Operations Center, and

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

have elevated our oversight and internal reporting to the Board and relevant committees. Further, we regularly engage independent third-party cybersecurity experts to test for vulnerabilities in our environment. We also conduct our own internal simulations and tabletop exercises as well as participate in financial sector-specific exercises. We have engaged consultants at both the strategic level and at the technology implementation level to assist us in better managing this critical risk. Cybersecurity defense and improving our resiliency against cybersecurity threats remain a key focus of our Board and all levels of management.

Capital Management

Overview

The Board is responsible for approving the policies associated with capital management. The Board has delegated responsibility of managing our capital risk to the Capital Management Committee (“CMC”), which is chaired by the Chief Financial Officer, consists of members of management, and whose primary responsibility is to recommend and administer the approved capital policies that govern our capital management. Other major CMC responsibilities include:

•Setting overall capital targets within the Board-approved Capital Policy, monitoring performance compared with our Capital Policy limits, and recommending changes to capital including dividends, common stock issuances and repurchases, subordinated debt, and changes in major strategies to maintain ourselves at well-capitalized levels;

•Maintaining an adequate capital cushion to withstand adverse stress events while continuing to meet the borrowing needs of our customers, and to provide reasonable assurance of continued access to wholesale funding, consistent with fiduciary responsibilities to depositors and bondholders; and

•Reviewing our agency ratings.

A strong capital position is vital to the achievement of our key corporate objectives, our continued profitability, and to promoting depositor and investor confidence. We have fundamental financial objectives and policies to consistently improve risk-adjusted returns on our shareholders’ capital, including (1) maintaining sufficient capital to support the current needs and growth of our businesses, and (2) fulfilling responsibilities to depositors and bondholders while managing capital distributions to shareholders through dividends and repurchases of common stock.

We utilize stress testing as an important mechanism to inform our decisions on the appropriate level of capital, based upon actual and hypothetically stressed economic conditions, which are comparable in severity to the scenarios published by the FRB. The timing and amount of capital actions are subject to various factors, including our financial performance, business needs, prevailing and anticipated economic conditions, and the results of our internal stress testing, as well as Board and OCC approval. Shares may be repurchased occasionally in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.

Total shareholders’ equity decreased $2.6 billion, or 34% to $4.9 billion at December 31, 2022. A $636 million increase in retained earnings was offset by significant decreases in AOCI and common stock and additional paid-in capital.

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

AOCI decreased $3.0 billion, primarily due to the decline in the fair value of fixed-rate AFS securities as a result of increases in benchmark interest rates. Absent any sales or credit impairment of these securities, the unrealized losses will not be recognized in earnings. We do not intend to sell any securities with unrealized losses. Although changes in AOCI are reflected in shareholders’ equity, they are excluded from regulatory capital, and therefore do not impact our regulatory ratios. We have excluded the impact of AOCI from certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as tangible common equity and related measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” on page 70 for further information. Refer also to Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more discussion on our investment securities portfolio and related unrealized gains and losses.

Common stock and additional paid-in capital decreased $174 million, primarily due to common stock repurchases.

Capital Management Actions

Common shares outstanding decreased 3.0 million in 2022, due to common stock repurchases. During 2022, we repurchased 3.6 million common shares outstanding for $200 million, compared with 13.5 million common shares repurchased for $800 million during 2021. In January 2023, the Board approved a plan to repurchase up to $50 million of common shares outstanding during the first quarter of 2023. In February 2023, we repurchased 946,644 common shares outstanding for $50 million at an average price of $52.82.

Under the OCC’s “Earnings Limitation Rule,” our dividend payments are restricted to an amount equal to the sum of the total of (1) our net income for that year, and (2) retained earnings for the preceding two years, unless the OCC approves the declaration and payment of dividends in excess of such amount. As of January 1, 2023, we had $1.8 billion of retained net profits available for distribution.

We paid dividends on preferred stock of $29 million in both 2022 and 2021. The common stock dividend was $0.41 per share during the second half of 2022, compared with $0.38 during the first half of 2022. We paid common dividends of $240 million in 2022, compared with $232 million in 2021. In January 2023, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.41 per common share payable on February 23, 2023, to shareholders of record on February 16, 2023.

Basel III

We are subject to Basel III capital requirements to maintain adequate levels of capital as measured by several regulatory capital ratios. At December 31, 2022, we exceeded all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III capital rules. Based on our internal stress testing and other assessments of capital adequacy, we believe we hold

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES

Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contains a summary of our significant accounting policies. Certain accounting policies that we consider critical are described below because their related balances and estimates are significant to the financial statements. Any changes to these amounts, including changes in estimates, may also be significant to the financial statements. We believe that an understanding of these policies, along with the related estimates we are required to make in recording our financial transactions, is important to have a complete picture of our financial condition. Additionally, in making these estimates, we are required to make complex and subjective judgments, many of which include a high degree of uncertainty. We discuss these critical accounting policies and related estimates below.

We have included, where applicable in this document, sensitivity schedules and other examples to demonstrate the impact of the changes in estimates made for various financial transactions. The sensitivities in these schedules and examples are hypothetical and should be viewed with caution. Changes in estimates are based on variations in assumptions and are not subject to simple extrapolation, as the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in the amount of the estimate may not be linear. In addition, the effect of a variation in one assumption is likely to cause changes in other assumptions, which could potentially magnify or counteract the sensitivities.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The ACL includes the ALLL and the RULC and represents our estimate of current expected credit losses related to the loan and lease portfolio and unfunded lending commitments as of the balance sheet date. The ACL for our AFS and HTM debt securities portfolio is estimated separately from loans and is not reflected separately on the consolidated balance sheet due to immateriality. The ACL for debt securities was less than $1 million at both December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

The ACL may change significantly each period because the ACL is subject to economic forecasts that may change materially from period to period. Although we believe that our methodology for determining an appropriate level for the ACL adequately addresses the various components that could potentially result in credit losses, the processes and their elements include features that may be susceptible to significant change. Any unfavorable differences between the actual outcome of credit-related events and our estimates could require an additional provision for credit losses.

The ACL is calculated based on quantitative models and management’s qualitative judgment based on many factors over the life of loan. The primary assumptions of the quantitative model are the economic forecast, the length of the reasonable and supportable forecast period, the length of the reversion period, prepayment rates, and the credit quality of the portfolio. The quantitative ACL estimate is a probability-weighted amount based on losses under multiple economic scenarios that reflect optimistic, baseline, and stressed economic conditions. Management uses qualitative judgment to adjust standard probability weights to more closely reflect management’s assessments of current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

If the ACL was evaluated on the baseline economic scenario rather than probability weighting multiple scenarios, the quantitatively determined amount of the ACL at December 31, 2022 would decrease by approximately $86 million. Additionally, if the probability of default risk-grade for all pass-graded loans was immediately downgraded one grade on our internal risk-grading scale, the quantitatively determined amount of the ACL at December 31, 2022 would increase by approximately $52 million. These sensitivity analyses are hypothetical and have been provided only to indicate the potential impact that changes in economic forecasts and changes in risk-grades may have on the ACL estimate. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the processes and methodologies used to estimate the ACL.

Fair Value Estimates

We measure certain of our assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) has established a three-level hierarchy to prioritize the valuation inputs among (1) observable inputs that reflect quoted prices in active markets, (2) inputs other than quoted prices with observable market data, and (3) unobservable data such as our own data.

When observable market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using modeling techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis. These modeling techniques use assumptions that market participants would consider in pricing the asset or the liability.

The selection and weighting of the various fair value techniques may result in a fair value higher or lower than the carrying value of the item being valued. Considerable judgment may be involved in determining the amount that is most representative of fair value.

For assets and liabilities measured at fair value, our policy is to maximize the use of observable inputs, when available, and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements. In certain cases, when market observable inputs for model-based valuation techniques may not be readily available, we are required to make judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in estimating the fair value of the financial instrument. The models used to determine fair value adjustments are regularly evaluated by management for relevance under current facts and circumstances.

Changes in market conditions may reduce the availability of quoted prices or observable data. For example, reduced liquidity in the capital markets or changes in secondary market activities could result in observable market inputs becoming unavailable. When market data is not available, we use valuation techniques requiring more management judgment to estimate the appropriate fair value.

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Fair value is used on a recurring basis for certain assets and liabilities in which fair value is the primary measure of accounting. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to measure certain assets or liabilities (including loans held for sale and OREO) for impairment or for disclosure purposes in accordance with current accounting guidance.

Impairment analysis also relates to long-lived assets, goodwill, and core deposit and other intangible assets. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset is not likely to be recoverable and exceeds its fair value. In determining the fair value, management uses models and applies the techniques and assumptions previously described.

AFS securities are valued using several methodologies, which depend on the nature of the security, availability of current market information, and other factors. AFS securities in an unrealized loss position are formally reviewed on a quarterly basis for the presence of credit impairment. If we have the intent to sell an identified security, or it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we first recognize an identified impairment. If we do not have the intent to sell a security, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell a security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, then we determine whether there is any impairment attributable to credit-related factors. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance. Full or partial write-offs of an AFS security are recorded in the period in which the security is deemed to be uncollectible.

While certain of our assets and liabilities are measured at fair value, such as our AFS securities, the majority of our assets and liabilities are not adjusted for changes in fair value. This asymmetrical accounting creates volatility in AOCI and equity.

Notes 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the “Investment Securities Portfolio” on page 42 contain further information regarding the use of fair value estimates.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded at fair value in the financial statements of a reporting unit at the time of its acquisition and is subsequently evaluated at least annually for impairment in accordance with current accounting standards.

We perform an evaluation during the fourth quarter of each year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any of our reporting units, inclusive of goodwill, is less than fair value. We may elect to perform a qualitative analysis to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the carrying amount is more likely than not to exceed its fair value, additional quantitative analysis is performed to determine the amount of goodwill impairment. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment is recorded for the difference. Goodwill impairment does not impact our regulatory capital ratios or tangible common equity ratio.

To determine the fair value of a reporting unit, we use (1) a market method that incorporates comparable publicly traded commercial banks along with data related to recent comparable merger and acquisition activity, and (2) an income method that consists of a discounted present value of management’s estimates of future cash flows.

Critical assumptions used as part of these methods generally include:

•Selection of comparable publicly traded companies based on location, size, and business focus and composition;

•Selection of market comparable acquisition transactions, if available, based on location, size, business focus and composition, and date of the transaction;

•The discount rate, which is based on our estimate of the cost of equity capital;

•The projections of future earnings and cash flows of the reporting unit;

•The relative weight given to the valuations derived by the two methods described previously; and

•The control premium associated with reporting units.

Since estimates are an integral part of the impairment test calculations, changes in these estimates could have a significant impact on our reporting units’ fair value and the goodwill impairment amount, if any. Estimates include

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

economic conditions, which impact the assumptions related to interest and growth rates, loss rates, and imputed cost of equity capital. Additional factors that may significantly affect the estimates include, among others, competitive forces, customer behaviors and attrition, loan losses, changes in growth trends, cost structures and technology, changes in equity market values and merger and acquisition valuations, and changes in industry conditions.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, we performed our annual goodwill impairment evaluation, effective October 1, 2022. Based on our evaluation, we determined that none of our reporting units were impaired.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS

Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements discusses recently issued accounting pronouncements that we are, or will be, required to adopt. Also described is our expectation of the impact these new accounting pronouncements will have, to the extent they are material, on our financial condition or results of operations.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This Form 10-K presents non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures. The adjustments to reconcile from the applicable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures are presented in the following schedules. We consider these adjustments to be relevant to ongoing operating results and provide a meaningful basis for period-to-period comparisons. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to assess our performance and financial position. We believe that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures permits investors to assess our performance on the same basis as that applied by our management and the financial services industry.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and are not necessarily comparable to similar financial measures that may be presented by other financial services companies. Although non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders to evaluate a company, they have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results reported under GAAP.

Tangible Common Equity and Related Measures

Tangible common equity and related measures are non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of intangible assets and their related amortization and accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about our use of shareholders’ equity and provide a basis for evaluating the performance of a business more consistently, whether acquired or developed internally.

Efficiency Ratio and Adjusted Pre-Provision Net Revenue

The efficiency ratio is a measure of operating expense relative to revenue. We believe the efficiency ratio provides useful information regarding the cost of generating revenue. We make adjustments to exclude certain items that are not generally expected to recur frequently, as identified in the subsequent schedule, which we believe allow for more consistent comparability across periods. Adjusted noninterest expense provides a measure as to how we are managing our expenses. Adjusted pre-provision net revenue enables management and others to assess our ability to generate capital. Taxable-equivalent net interest income allows us to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources.

REPORT ON MANAGEMENT’S ASSESSMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of Zions Bancorporation, N.A is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Although any system of internal control can be compromised by human error or intentional circumvention of required procedures, we believe our system provides reasonable assurance that financial transactions are recorded and reported properly, providing an adequate basis for reliable financial statements.

Our management has used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 framework) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, and has concluded that such internal control over financial reporting is effective. There are no material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that have been identified by our management.

Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and has also issued an attestation report, which is included herein, on internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”).

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Zions Bancorporation, National Association

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Zions Bancorporation, National Association’s (“the Bank”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (“the COSO criteria”). In our opinion, the Bank maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the 2022 consolidated financial statements of the Bank and our report dated February 23, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Bank’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Bank in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Zions Bancorporation, National Association

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zions Bancorporation, National Association (“the Bank”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Bank at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 23, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Bank’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Bank in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

Allowance for loan and lease losses


Description of the Matter			The Bank’s loan and lease portfolio and the associated allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL), were $55.7 billion and $575 million as of December 31, 2022, respectively. The provision for loan and lease losses was $101 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. As discussed in Note 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the ALLL represented the Bank’s estimate of current expected credit losses over the contractual remaining life of the loan and lease portfolio as of the consolidated balance sheet date. Management’s ALLL estimate includes quantitative calculations based on the statistical analysis of historical loss experience dependent on weighted economic scenarios and other loan-level characteristics forecasted over a reasonable period, losses estimated using historical loss experience for periods outside the reasonable economic forecast period (collectively the quantitative portion), supplemented with qualitative adjustments that bring the ALLL to the level management deemed appropriate based on factors that are not fully considered in the quantitative analysis. The statistical analysis of historical loss experience was derived from credit loss models used to determine the quantitative portion of the ALLL. Judgment was required by management to determine the weightings of the economic scenarios and the magnitude of the impact of the qualitative adjustments to the ALLL. Auditing management’s estimate of the ALLL is complex due to the judgment used to weigh the economic scenarios and the judgment involved in determining the magnitude of the impact of the various risk factors used to derive the qualitative adjustments to the ALLL.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit			We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls that address the risk of material misstatement in determining the weightings of the economic scenarios and in determining the impact of the qualitative adjustments to the ALLL. We tested controls over the Bank’s ALLL governance process, model development and model risk management as it relates to the credit loss models used in the ALLL process. Such testing included testing controls over model governance, controls over data input into the models, and controls over model calculation accuracy and observing key management meetings where weightings of the economic scenarios and the magnitude of qualitative adjustments are reviewed and approved.

			To test the reasonableness of the weightings of the economic scenarios, our procedures consisted of obtaining an understanding of the forecasted economic scenarios used, including agreeing the economic scenarios to third party published data and economic scenarios developed from market information as well as evaluating management’s methodology, including the economic scenario weighting process. We also performed analytical procedures and sensitivity analyses on the weightings of the economic scenarios and searched for and evaluated information that corroborated or contradicted these weightings.

			Regarding the completeness of qualitative adjustments identified and incorporated into measuring the ALLL, we evaluated the potential impact of imprecision in the credit loss models and emerging risks related to changes in the economic environment impacting the Bank's loan and lease portfolio. We also evaluated and tested internal and external data used in the qualitative adjustments by agreeing significant inputs and underlying data to internal and external sources.

			Further, we assessed whether the total amount of the ALLL estimate was consistent with the Bank’s historical loss information, peer bank information, credit quality statistics, subsequent events and transactions, and publicly observable indicators of macroeconomic financial conditions and whether the total ALLL amount was reflective of current expected losses in the loan and lease portfolio as of the consolidated balance sheet date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2022

1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

Zions Bancorporation, National Association (“Zions Bancorporation, N.A.,” “the Bank,” “we,” “our,” “us”) is a bank headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. We provide a wide range of banking products and related services in 11 Western and Southwestern states through seven separately managed affiliates: Zions Bank in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming; California Bank & Trust (“CB&T”); Amegy Bank (“Amegy”) in Texas; National Bank of Arizona (“NBAZ”); Nevada State Bank (“NSB”); Vectra Bank Colorado (“Vectra”) in Colorado and New Mexico; and The Commerce Bank of Washington (“TCBW”) which operates under that name in Washington and under The Commerce Bank of Oregon in Oregon.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned, consolidated subsidiaries. Unconsolidated investments where we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the respective investee are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Assets held in an agency or fiduciary capacity are not included in the consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and prevailing practices within the financial services industry. References to GAAP, including standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), are made according to sections of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation, where applicable. These reclassifications did not affect net income or shareholders’ equity.

Effective for the first quarter of 2022, we made certain financial reporting changes and reclassifications to noninterest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income. These financial reporting changes were made primarily to improve the presentation and disclosure of certain expenses related to our ongoing technology initiatives. Other noninterest expense line items were impacted by these changes and reclassifications. These changes and reclassifications (1) were adopted retrospectively to January 1, 2020, (2) reflect changes only to noninterest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, and (3) do not impact net income, net interest income, or noninterest income.

Subsequent Events

We evaluated events that occurred between December 31, 2022 and the date the accompanying financial statements were issued, and determined that there were no material events that would require adjustments to our consolidated financial statements or significant disclosure in the accompanying Notes.

Variable Interest Entities

A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is consolidated when we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Current accounting guidance requires continuous analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a VIE. At the commencement of our involvement, and periodically thereafter, we consider our consolidation conclusions for all entities with which we are involved. At December 31, 2022, and 2021, we had no VIEs that have been consolidated in our financial statements.

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, “cash and cash equivalents” are defined as those amounts included in cash and due from banks in the consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Estimates

We measure many of our assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. To improve consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, GAAP has established a hierarchy to prioritize the valuation inputs among three levels. We prioritize quoted prices in active markets and minimize reliance on unobservable inputs when possible. When observable market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using modeling techniques requiring professional judgment to estimate the appropriate fair value. These valuation techniques use assumptions that market participants would consider in pricing the asset or the liability. Changes in market conditions may reduce the availability of quoted prices or observable data. See Note 3 for further information regarding the use of fair value estimates.

Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell

Securities purchased under agreements to resell represent overnight and term agreements with the majority maturing within 30 days. These agreements are generally treated as collateralized financing transactions and are carried at amounts at which the securities were acquired plus accrued interest. Either we, or in some instances third parties on our behalf, take possession of the underlying securities. The fair value of such securities is monitored throughout the contract term to ensure that asset values remain sufficient to protect against counterparty default. We are permitted by contract to sell or repledge certain securities that we accept as collateral for securities purchased under agreements to resell. If sold, our obligation to return the collateral is recorded as “securities sold, not yet purchased” and included as a liability in “Federal funds and other short-term borrowings.” At December 31, 2022, and 2021, we held $2.3 billion and $2.0 billion of securities for which we were permitted by contract to sell or repledge, respectively. Securities purchased under agreements to resell averaged $2.4 billion and $2.1 billion during 2022 and 2021, and the maximum amount outstanding at any month-end during those same time periods was $2.7 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively.

Investment Securities

We classify our investment securities according to their purpose and holding period. Gains or losses on the sale of securities are recognized using the specific identification method and recorded in noninterest income.

Held-to-maturity (“HTM”) debt securities are carried at amortized cost with purchase discounts or premiums accreted or amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the security. We have the intent and ability to hold such securities until maturity. For HTM securities, the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is assessed consistent with the approach described in Note 6 for loans carried at amortized cost.

Available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities are measured at fair value and generally consist of debt securities held for investment. Unrealized gains and losses of AFS securities, after applicable taxes, are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”). AFS securities in an unrealized loss position are formally reviewed on a quarterly basis for the presence of credit impairment. If we have the intent to sell an identified security, or it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we write the amortized cost down to the security's fair value at the reporting date through earnings. If we have the intent and ability to hold the securities, they are analyzed to determine whether any impairment was attributable to credit-related factors. If a credit impairment is determined to exist, then we measure the amount of credit loss and recognize an allowance for the credit loss. The process, methodology, and factors considered to evaluate securities for impairment are described further in Note 5.

Transfers of debt securities into the HTM category from the AFS category are made at fair value at the transfer date. Any unrealized holding gains or losses at the transfer date are retained in other comprehensive income (loss) and in the carrying value of the HTM securities. Such amounts are amortized over the remaining life of the security.

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Trading securities are measured at fair value and consist of securities generally held for only a short period of time. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in trading income, which is included in “Capital markets and foreign exchange fees” line item in the income statement.

See Note 3 for further information regarding the measurement of our investment securities at fair value.

Leases

All leases with lease terms greater than twelve months are reported as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset. We present ROU assets for operating leases and finance leases on the consolidated balance sheet in “Other assets,” and “Premises, equipment and software, net,” respectively. The corresponding liabilities for those leases are presented in “Other liabilities,” and “Long-term debt.” See Note 8 for further information regarding the accounting for leases.

Loans

Loans are reported at their amortized cost basis, which includes the principal amount outstanding, net of unamortized purchase premiums, discounts, and deferred loan fees and costs, which are amortized into interest income over the life of the loan using the interest method.

At the time of origination, we determine whether loans will be held for investment or held for sale. We may subsequently change our intent for a loan or group of loans and reclassify them accordingly. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. A valuation allowance is recorded when cost exceeds fair value based on reviews at the time of reclassification and periodically thereafter. Gains and losses are recorded in “Loan-related fees and income” in noninterest income based on the difference between sales proceeds and carrying value.

We evaluate loans throughout their lives for signs of credit deterioration, which may impact the loan status, risk- grading, and potentially impact the accounting for that loan. Loan status categories include past due as to contractual payments, accruing or nonaccruing, and restructured, including troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), which will no longer be designated after the adoption of ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments--Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, beginning January 1, 2023 as discussed in Note 2. Our accounting policies for loans and our estimation of the related ACL are described further in Note 6.

In the ordinary course of business, we may syndicate portions of loans or transfer portions of loans under participation agreements to manage credit risk and our portfolio concentration. We evaluate the loan participations to determine if they meet the appropriate accounting guidance to qualify as sales. Certain purchased loans require separate accounting procedures that are also described in Note 6.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The ACL, which consists of the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) and the reserve for unfunded lending commitments (“RULC”), represents our estimate of current expected credit losses related to the loan and lease portfolio and unfunded lending commitments as of the balance sheet date. The ACL for debt securities is estimated separately from loans. See Note 6 for further discussion of our estimation process for the ACL.

Other Noninterest-bearing Investments

These investments include private equity investments (“PEIs”), venture capital securities, securities acquired for various debt and regulatory requirements, bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”), and certain other noninterest-bearing investments. See further discussion in Note 3.

Certain PEIs and venture capital securities are accounted for under the equity method when we are able to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Equity investments in PEIs that do not give us significant influence are reported at fair value, unless there is not a readily determinable fair value. We have elected to measure PEIs without readily determinable fair values at cost less impairment (if any), plus or minus observable price changes from an identical or similar investment of the same issuer, referred to as the “measurement alternative.”

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Periodic reviews are conducted for impairment by comparing carrying values with estimates of fair value. Changes in fair value, impairment losses, and gains and losses from sales are recognized in the “Securities gains and losses, net” line item in noninterest income.

BOLI is accounted for at fair value based on the cash surrender values (“CSVs”) of the general account insurance policies.

Premises, Equipment, and Software

Premises, equipment, and software are reported at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation, computed primarily on the straight-line method, is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the properties, generally 25 to 40 years for buildings, three to 10 years for furniture and equipment, and three to 10 years for software, including capitalized costs related to our technology initiatives. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases (including any extension options that are reasonably certain to be exercised) or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Premises, equipment, and software are evaluated for impairment on a periodic basis.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is recorded at fair value at the time of its acquisition and is subsequently evaluated for impairment annually, or more frequently if conditions warrant.

Business Combinations

Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Upon initially obtaining control, we recognize 100% of all acquired assets and all assumed liabilities, regardless of the percentage owned. The assets and liabilities are recorded at their estimated fair values, with goodwill being recorded when such fair values are less than the cost of acquisition. Certain transaction and restructuring costs are expensed as incurred. Changes to estimated fair values from a business combination are recognized as an adjustment to goodwill over the measurement period, which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date. Results of operations of acquired businesses are included in our statement of income from the date of acquisition.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) consists primarily of commercial and residential real estate acquired in partial or total satisfaction of loan obligations. Amounts are recorded initially at fair value (less estimated selling costs) based on recent property appraisals at the time of transfer and subsequently at the lower of cost or fair value (less estimated selling costs).

Derivative Instruments

We use derivative instruments such as swaps and purchased and sold options as an important tool used in managing our overall asset and liability sensitivities to remain within our stated interest rate risk thresholds. Their use allows us to adjust and align our mix of fixed- and floating-rate assets and liabilities to manage interest income volatility by synthetically converting variable-rate assets to fixed-rate, or synthetically converting fixed-rate funding instruments to floating rates.

We also execute both interest rate and short-term foreign currency derivative instruments with our commercial banking customers to facilitate their risk management objectives. These derivatives are hedged by entering into offsetting derivatives with third parties such that we minimize our net risk exposure as a result of such transactions. We record all derivatives at fair value, and they are included on the consolidated balance sheet in “Other assets” or “Other liabilities.”

The accounting for the change in value of a derivative depends on whether or not the transaction has been designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges are reported and measured at fair value through earnings. See Note 7 for more information.

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Derivatives Designated in Qualifying Hedging Relationships

We apply hedge accounting to certain derivatives executed for risk management purposes, primarily interest rate risk. To qualify for hedge accounting, a derivative must be highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and the hedging relationship must be formally documented. We primarily use regression analysis to assess the effectiveness of each hedging relationship, unless the hedge qualifies for other methods of assessing effectiveness (e.g., shortcut or critical terms match), both at inception and on an ongoing basis. We designate derivatives as fair value and cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. See Note 7 for more information regarding the accounting for derivatives designated as hedging instruments.

Commitments and Letters of Credit

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into loan commitments, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded. The credit risk associated with these commitments is evaluated in a manner similar to the ALLL. The RULC is presented separately on the consolidated balance sheet in “Other liabilities.”

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. See Note 17 for further information regarding how we recognize revenue for contracts with customers.

Share-based Compensation

Share-based compensation generally includes grants of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and other awards to employees and nonemployee directors. We recognize compensation expense in the statement of income based on the grant-date value of the associated share-based awards. See further discussion in Note 19.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) and deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”) are determined based on temporary differences between financial statement asset and liability amounts and their respective tax basis, and are measured using enacted tax laws and rates. The effect of a change in tax rates on DTAs and DTLs is recognized into income in the period that includes the enactment date. DTAs are recognized insofar that management deems it more likely than not that they will be realized. Unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions primarily relate to tax credits on technology initiatives. See Note 20 for more information about the factors that impacted our effective tax rate, significant components of our DTAs and DTLs, including our assessment regarding valuation allowances and unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions.

Net Earnings Per Common Share

Net earnings per common share is based on net earnings applicable to common shareholders, which is net of preferred stock dividends. Basic net earnings per common share is based on the weighted average outstanding common shares during each year. Unvested share-based awards with rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic earnings per share. Diluted net earnings per common share is based on the weighted average outstanding common shares during each year, including common stock equivalents. Stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, and stock warrants are converted to common stock equivalents using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method or the two-class method. Diluted net earnings per common share excludes common stock equivalents whose effect is antidilutive. See further discussion in Note 21.

ASU 2022-02,

Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures

This accounting standards update (“ASU”) eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance on troubled debt restructurings for creditors that have adopted ASC 326 (“CECL”), and eliminates certain existing TDR disclosures while requiring enhanced disclosures about loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

The new standard also requires public companies to present gross write-offs (on a year-to-date basis for interim-period disclosures) by year of origination in their vintage disclosures.

The new standard is effective for calendar year-end public companies beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted.

Periods beginning after December 15, 2022

We have implemented processes to capture necessary data in order to comply with the new disclosure requirements. The overall effect of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

We adopted the guidance in the new standard on January 1, 2023.

ASU 2022-03,

Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions

This ASU clarifies that contractual restrictions prohibiting the sale of an equity security are not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security, and therefore, are not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments clarify that an entity cannot recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction as a separate unit of account. The amendments in this ASU also require additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions.

The new standard is effective for calendar year-end public companies beginning January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted.

Periods beginning after December 15, 2023

The requirements of this ASU are consistent with our current treatment of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions and are not expected to impact the fair value measurements of these securities.

We are evaluating supplementary disclosure requirements and additional data needed to meet these requirements. The overall effect of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

We do not plan to early adopt this new standard.

ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of The Sunset Date of Topic 848

As part of reference rate reform, the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is expected to be discontinued and be replaced by observable or transaction-based alternative reference rates. ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform, provided temporary optional expedients and exceptions that: (1) modify the accounting requirements for contract modifications for contracts that reference LIBOR, (2) provide for a one-time election to sell or transfer to AFS or trading certain qualifying HTM debt securities, and (3) provide various optional expedients for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform. These practical expedients were originally set to expire on December 31, 2022.

In March 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) extended the cessation date of most common tenors of United States Dollar (“USD”) LIBOR to June 30, 2023, beyond the original sunset date of ASC 848. ASU 2022-06 extends the original sunset date of the practical expedients detailed in ASC 848 to December 31, 2024.

December 31, 2022

We adopted ASC 848 on April 1, 2020. As of December 31, 2022, we had transitioned a significant portion of our legacy LIBOR-based contracts to alternative reference rates. The extension of the sunset date in ASC 848 will facilitate the transition of the remaining contracts away from LIBOR, but is not expected to have a material impact on the Bank.

The amendments in ASU 2022-06 became effective upon issuance of the Update.

3. FAIR VALUE

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. To measure fair value, a hierarchy has been established that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy uses the following three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access;

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in less active markets, observable inputs other than quoted prices that are used in the valuation of an asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means; and

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined by pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is classified is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Market activity is presumed to be orderly in the absence of evidence of forced or disorderly sales. Applicable accounting guidance precludes the use of blockage factors or liquidity adjustments due to the quantity of securities held by an entity.

We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis when fair value is the primary measure for accounting. Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to measure certain assets, such as the application of lower of

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

cost or fair value accounting and the recognition of impairment on assets. Fair value is also used when providing required disclosures for certain financial instruments.

Fair Value Policies and Procedures

We have various policies, processes, and controls in place to ensure that fair values are reasonably developed, reviewed, and approved for use. These include a Securities Valuation Committee, comprised of executive management, that reviews and approves on a quarterly basis the key components of fair value measurements, including critical valuation assumptions for Level 3 measurements. Our Model Risk Management Group conducts model validations, including internal models, and sets policies and procedures for revalidation, including the timing of revalidation.

Third-party Service Providers

We use a third-party pricing service to measure fair value for substantially all of our Level 2 AFS securities. Fair value measurements for other Level 2 AFS securities generally use inputs corroborated by market data and include standard discounted cash flow analysis.

For Level 2 securities, the third-party pricing service provides documentation on an ongoing basis that presents market data, including detailed pricing information and market reference data. The documentation includes benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data, including information from the vendor trading platform. We review, test, and validate this information on a regular basis.

The following describes the hierarchy designations, valuation methodologies and key inputs to measure fair value on a recurring basis for designated financial instruments:

Available-for-Sale

•U.S. Treasury, Agencies and Corporations — U.S. Treasury securities measured using quoted market prices are classified in Level 1. U.S. agency and corporate securities measured using observable market inputs are classified in Level 2.

•Municipal Securities — Municipal securities are measured using observable market inputs and are classified in Level 2.

•Other Debt Securities — Other debt securities are measured using quoted prices for similar securities and are classified in Level 2.

Trading

Trading securities are measured using observable market inputs and are classified in Level 1 and Level 2.

Bank-owned Life Insurance

BOLI is measured according to the cash surrender value (“CSV”) of the insurance policies. Nearly all policies are general account policies with CSVs based on our claims on the assets of the insurance companies. The insurance companies’ investments include predominantly fixed-income securities consisting of investment-grade corporate bonds and various types of mortgage instruments. Management regularly reviews its BOLI investment performance, including concentrations among insurance providers and classifies BOLI balances in Level 2.

Private Equity Investments

PEIs carried at fair value on a recurring basis are generally classified in Level 3 because related measurements include unobservable inputs. Key assumptions and considerations include current and projected financial performance, recent financing activities, economic and market conditions, market comparable companies, market liquidity, and other factors. The majority of these PEIs are held in our Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”) and are early-stage venture investments. These investments are reviewed at least quarterly by the Securities Valuation Committee and whenever a new round of financing occurs. Certain of these investments may be measured using multiples of operating performance. The Equity Investments Committee reviews periodic

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

financial information for these investments, including audited financial statements when available. On occasion, PEIs may become publicly traded and are measured in Level 1. Certain restrictions apply for the redemption of these investments. See additional discussions in Note 5.

Agriculture Loan Servicing

We service agriculture loans approved and funded by Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (“FAMC”), and provide this servicing under an agreement with FAMC for the loans it owns. The servicing assets are measured at fair value, which represents our projection of the present value of future cash flows. Because related measurements include unobservable inputs, these assets are classified in Level 3.

Interest-only Strips

Interest-only strips are created as a by-product of securitizing U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loan pools. When the guaranteed portions of SBA 7(a) loans are pooled, interest-only strips may be created in the pooling process. The asset’s fair value is measured using discounted cash flow methodologies that incorporate unobservable inputs, and therefore are classified in Level 3.

Deferred Compensation Plan Assets

Invested assets in the deferred compensation plan consist of shares of registered investment companies. These mutual funds are valued using quoted market prices, which represents the net asset value (“NAV”) of shares held by the plan at the end of the period. As such, these assets are classified in Level 1.

Derivatives

Exchange-traded derivatives, including foreign currency exchange contracts, are generally classified in Level 1 because they are traded in active markets. Over-the-counter derivatives, consisting primarily of interest rate swaps and options, are generally classified in Level 2 as the related fair values are obtained from third-party services that utilize observable market inputs. Observable market inputs include yield curves, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, option volatility, counterparty credit risk, and other related data. Valuations include credit valuation adjustments (“CVAs”) to reflect nonperformance risk for both us and our counterparties. CVAs are determined generally by applying a credit spread to the total expected exposure (net of any collateral) of the derivative.

Securities Sold, Not Yet Purchased

Securities sold, not yet purchased, included in “Federal funds and other short-term borrowings” on the consolidated balance sheet, are measured using quoted market prices and are generally classified in Level 1. If market prices for identical securities are not available, quoted prices for similar securities are used with the related balances classified in Level 2.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities may be recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including impaired loans that have been measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, OREO, and equity investments without readily determinable fair values. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments generally include changes in value resulting from observable price changes for equity investments without readily determinable fair values, write-downs of individual assets, or the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting. At December 31, 2022, we had an insignificant amount of assets or liabilities that had fair value changes measured on a nonrecurring basis.

Loans that are collateral dependent were measured at the lower of amortized cost or the fair value of the collateral. OREO was measured initially at fair value based on collateral appraisals at the time of transfer and subsequently at the lower of cost or fair value (less any selling costs). Measurement of fair value for collateral-dependent loans and OREO was based on third-party appraisals that utilize one or more valuation techniques (income, market and/or cost approaches). Any adjustments to calculated fair value were made based on recently completed and validated third-party appraisals, third-party appraisal services, automated valuation services, or our informed judgment. Automated valuation services may be used primarily for residential properties when values from any of the previous methods were not available within 90 days of the balance sheet date. These services use models based on market, economic, and demographic values.

Fair Value of Certain Financial Instruments

Financial assets:

Long-term debt	651		635		2	1,012		1,034		2

The schedule above does not include certain financial instruments that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as certain financial assets and liabilities for which the carrying value approximates fair value, such as cash and due from banks; money market investments; demand, savings, and money market deposits; federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings; and security repurchase agreements. The estimated fair value of demand, savings and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Carrying value is used because the accounts have no stated maturity, and the customer has the ability to withdraw funds immediately. Time and foreign deposits are measured at fair value by discounting future cash flows using the applicable yield curve to the given maturity dates. Long-term debt is measured at fair value based on actual market trades (i.e., an asset value) when available, or discounting cash flows to maturity using the applicable yield curve adjusted for credit spreads.

For loans measured at amortized cost, fair value is estimated for disclosure purposes by discounting future cash flows using the applicable yield curve adjusted by a factor that is derived from analyzing recent loan originations and combined with a liquidity premium inherent in the loan. These future cash flows are then reduced by the estimated life-of-the-loan aggregate credit losses in the loan portfolio (i.e., the allowance for loan and lease losses under the CECL model). The methods used to measure fair value for HTM securities was previously described.

These fair value disclosures represent our best estimates based on relevant market information. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding current economic conditions, future expected loss experience, risk characteristics of the various instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and cannot be determined with precision. Changes in these methodologies and assumptions would significantly affect the estimates.

5. INVESTMENTS

Investment Securities

Investment securities are classified as HTM, AFS, or trading. HTM securities, which management has the intent and ability to hold until maturity, are carried at amortized cost. The amortized cost amounts represent the original cost of the investments, adjusted for related amortization or accretion of any purchase premiums or discounts, and for any impairment losses, including credit-related impairment. When a security is transferred from AFS to HTM, the difference between its amortized cost basis and fair value at the date of transfer is amortized as a yield adjustment through interest income, and the fair value at the date of transfer, adjusted for subsequent amortization, becomes the security’s amortized cost basis. The amortization of the unrealized losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) will offset the effect of the accretion of the discount in interest income that is created by adjusting the amortized cost basis to the securities’ fair value on the date of the transfer.

AFS securities are carried at fair value, and changes in fair value (unrealized gains and losses) are reported as net increases or decreases to AOCI, net of related taxes. Trading securities are carried at fair value with gains and losses recognized in current period earnings. The carrying values of our securities do not include accrued interest receivables of $75 million and $65 million at December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. These receivables are presented on the consolidated balance sheet in “Other assets.”

The purchase premiums for callable debt securities classified as HTM or AFS are amortized into interest income at an effective yield to the earliest call date. The purchase premiums and discounts for all other HTM and AFS securities are recognized in interest income over the contractual life of the security using the effective yield method. As principal prepayments are received on securities, a proportionate amount of the related premium or discount is recognized in income so that the effective yield on the remaining portion of the security continues unchanged. See Note 3 for more information about the process to estimate fair value for investment securities.

Impairment

Ongoing Policy

We review investment securities quarterly on an individual basis for the presence of impairment. For AFS securities, when the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date, we assess for the presence of credit impairment. When determining if the fair value of an investment is less than the amortized cost basis, we have elected to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of the investment. If we have the intent to sell an identified security, or if it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, we write the amortized cost down to the security’s fair value at the reporting date through earnings.

If we have the intent and ability to hold the securities, we determine whether there is any impairment attributable to credit-related factors. We analyze certain factors, primarily internal and external credit ratings, to determine if the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis has resulted from a credit loss or other factors. If a credit impairment is determined to exist, then we measure the amount of credit loss and recognize an allowance for the credit loss. In measuring the credit loss, we generally compare the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security to the amortized cost basis of the security. These cash flows are credit adjusted using, among other things, assumptions for default probability and loss severity. Certain other inputs, such as prepayment rate assumptions, are also utilized. In addition, certain internal models may be utilized. To determine the credit-related portion of impairment, we use the security-specific effective interest rate when estimating the present value of cash flows. If the present value of cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis of the security, then this amount is recorded as an allowance for credit loss, limited to the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis (i.e., the credit impairment cannot result in the security being carried at an amount lower than its fair value). The assumptions used to estimate the expected cash flows depend on the particular asset class, structure, and credit rating of the security. Declines in fair value that are not recorded in the allowance are recorded in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.

AFS Impairment

We did not recognize any credit impairment on our AFS investment securities portfolio during 2022 or 2021. Unrealized losses relate primarily to changes in interest rates subsequent to purchase and are not attributable to credit. At December 31, 2022, we had not initiated any sales of AFS securities, nor did we have the intent to sell any identified securities with unrealized losses. We do not believe it is more likely than not we would be required to sell such securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis.

HTM Impairment

For HTM securities, the ACL is assessed consistent with the approach described in Note 6 for loans and leases carried at amortized cost. The ACL on HTM securities was less than $1 million at December 31, 2022. All HTM securities were risk-graded as “pass” in terms of credit quality, and none were past due at December 31, 2022.

Loans and leases are measured and presented at their amortized cost basis, which includes net unamortized purchase premiums, discounts, and deferred loan fees and costs totaling $49 million and $83 million at December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. Amortized cost basis does not include accrued interest receivables of $247 million and $161 million at December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. These receivables are presented on the consolidated balance sheet within the “Other assets” line item.

Municipal loans generally include loans to state and local governments (“municipalities”) with the debt service being repaid from general funds or pledged revenues of the municipal entity, or to private commercial entities or 501(c)(3) not-for-profit entities utilizing a pass-through municipal entity to achieve favorable tax treatment.

Land acquisition and development loans included in the construction and land development loan portfolio were $262 million at December 31, 2022 and $160 million at December 31, 2021.

Loans with a carrying value of approximately $27.6 billion at December 31, 2022, and $26.8 billion at December 31, 2021, have been pledged at the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Des Moines as collateral for current and potential borrowings.

We sold loans totaling $0.7 billion in 2022, $1.7 billion in 2021, and $1.8 billion in 2020, that were classified as loans held for sale. Loans classified as loans held for sale primarily consist of conforming residential mortgages and the guaranteed portion of SBA loans that are primarily sold to U.S. government agencies or participated to third-parties. They do not include loans from the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). Occasionally, we have continuing involvement in the sold loans in the form of servicing rights or guarantees. Amounts added to loans held for sale during these same periods were $0.7 billion, $1.7 billion, and $1.8 billion, respectively. See Note 5 for further information regarding guaranteed securities.

The principal balance of sold loans for which we have retained servicing was approximately $3.5 billion at December 31, 2022, and $3.3 billion at December 31, 2021. Income from loans sold, excluding servicing, was $14 million in 2022, $34 million in 2021, and $54 million in 2020.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The ACL, which consists of the ALLL and the RULC, represents our estimate of current expected credit losses related to the loan and lease portfolio and unfunded lending commitments as of the balance sheet date. The ACL for AFS and HTM debt securities is estimated separately from loans. For HTM securities, the ACL is assessed consistent with the approach for loans carried at amortized cost. See Note 5 for further discussion on our assessment of expected credit losses on AFS securities and disclosures related to AFS and HTM securities.

The ACL reflects our best estimate of credit losses and is calculated using the loan’s amortized cost basis (principal balance, net of unamortized premiums, discounts, and deferred fees and costs). We do not estimate the ACL for accrued interest receivables because we reverse or write-off uncollectible accrued interest receivable balances in a timely manner, generally within one month.

The methodologies we use to estimate the ACL depend upon the type of loan, the age and contractual term of the loan, expected payments (both contractual and assumed prepayments), credit quality indicators, economic forecasts, and the evaluation method (whether individually or collectively evaluated). Loan extensions or renewals are not considered in the ACL unless they are included in the original or modified loan contract and are not unconditionally cancellable, or we reasonably expect a related modification to result in a TDR.

Losses are charged to the ACL when recognized. Generally, commercial and commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans are charged off or charged down when they are determined to be uncollectible in whole or in part, or when 180 days past due, unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans are either charged off or charged down to net realizable value no later than the month in which they become 180 days past due. Closed-end consumer loans that are not secured by residential real estate are either charged off or charged down to net realizable value no later than the month in which they become 120 days past due.

We establish the amount of the ACL by analyzing the portfolio at least quarterly, and we adjust the provision for loan losses and unfunded lending commitments to ensure the ACL is at an appropriate level at the balance sheet date. The ACL is determined based on our review of loans that have similar risk characteristics, which are evaluated on a collective basis, as well as loans that do not have similar risk characteristics, which are evaluated on an individual basis.

For commercial and CRE loans with commitments greater than $1 million, we assign internal risk grades using a comprehensive loan grading system based on financial and statistical models, individual credit analysis, and loan officer experience and judgment. The credit quality indicators described subsequently are based on this grading system. Estimated credit losses on all loan segments, including consumer and small commercial and CRE loans with commitments less than or equal to $1 million that are evaluated on a collective basis, are derived from statistical analyses of our historical default and loss experience since January 2008.

We estimate current expected credit losses for each loan, which includes considerations of historical credit loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. We use the following two types of credit loss estimation models:

•Econometric loss models, which rely on statistical analyses of our historical loss experience dependent upon economic factors and other loan-level characteristics. Statistically relevant economic factors vary depending upon the type of loan, but include variables such as unemployment, real estate price indices, energy prices, GDP, etc. The models use multiple economic scenarios that reflect optimistic, baseline, and stressed economic conditions. The results derived using these economic scenarios are probability-weighted to produce the credit loss estimate.

•Loss models that are based on our long-term average historical credit loss experience since 2008, which rely on statistical analyses of our historical loss experience dependent upon loan-level characteristics.

101

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Credit loss estimates for the first 12 months of a loan’s remaining life are derived using econometric loss models. Over a subsequent 12-month reversion period, we blend the estimated credit losses from the two models on a straight-line basis. For the remaining life of the loan, the estimated credit losses are derived from the long-term average historical credit loss models.

For loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans, we estimate lifetime expected credit losses on an individual basis. These include nonaccrual loans with a balance greater than $1 million; TDR loans, including TDRs that subsequently default; a loan no longer reported as a TDR; or a loan where we reasonably expect it to become a TDR. When a loan is individually evaluated for expected credit losses, we estimate a specific reserve for the loan based on either the projected present value of the loan’s future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the observable market price of the loan, or the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral.

When we base the specific reserve on the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral, we generally charge-off the portion of the balance that is greater than fair value. For these loans, subsequent to the charge-off, if the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral increases according to an updated appraisal, we establish a negative reserve up to the lesser of the amount of the charge-off or the updated fair value.

The methodologies described previously generally rely on historical loss information to help determine our quantitative portion of the ACL. However, we also consider other qualitative and environmental factors related to current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that may indicate current expected credit losses may differ from the historical information reflected in our quantitative models. Thus, after applying historical loss experience, as described above, we review the quantitative portion of ACL for each segment using qualitative criteria, and we use those criteria to determine our qualitative estimate. We monitor various risk factors that influence our judgment regarding the level of the ACL across the portfolio segments. These factors primarily include:

•Actual and expected changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments;

•The volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans;

•Lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and practices for collection, charge-off, and recovery;

•The experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;

•The nature and volume of the portfolio;

•The quality of the credit review function;

•The existence, growth, and effect of any concentration of credit;

•The effect of other external factors such as regulatory, legal, and technological environments; fiscal and monetary actions; competition; and events such as natural disasters and pandemics.

The magnitude of the impact of these factors on our qualitative assessment of the ACL changes from quarter to quarter according to changes made by management in its assessment of these factors, the extent these factors are already reflected in quantitative loss estimates, and the extent changes in these factors diverge from one to another. Management may adjust the probability weights mentioned previously to reflect management’s assessments of current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. We also consider the uncertainty and imprecision inherent in the estimation process when evaluating the ACL.

Off-balance Sheet Credit Exposures

As previously mentioned, we estimate current expected credit losses for off-balance sheet loan commitments, including letters of credit that are not unconditionally cancellable. This estimate uses the same procedures and methodologies described previously for loans and is calculated by taking the difference between the estimated current expected credit loss and the funded balance, if greater than zero.

Nonaccrual Loans

Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when payment in full of principal and interest is not expected, or the loan is 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest, unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection. Factors we consider in determining whether a loan is placed on nonaccrual include delinquency status, collateral-value, borrower or guarantor financial statement information, bankruptcy status, and other information which would indicate that the full and timely collection of interest and principal is uncertain.

A nonaccrual loan may be returned to accrual status when (1) all delinquent interest and principal become current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement; (2) the loan, if secured, is well-secured; (3) the borrower has paid according to the contractual terms for a minimum of six months; and (4) an analysis of the borrower indicates a

For accruing loans, interest is accrued and interest payments are recognized into interest income according to the contractual loan agreement. For nonaccruing loans, the accrual of interest is discontinued, any uncollected or accrued interest is reversed from interest income in a timely manner (generally within one month), and any payments received on these loans are not recognized into interest income, but are applied as a reduction to the principal outstanding. When the collectibility of the amortized cost basis for a nonaccrual loan is no longer in doubt, then interest payments may be recognized in interest income on a cash basis. For 2022 and 2021, there was no interest income recognized on a cash basis during the period the loans were on nonaccrual.

Past Due Loans

Closed-end loans with payments scheduled monthly are reported as past due when the borrower is in arrears for two or more monthly payments. Similarly, open-end credits, such as bankcard and other revolving credit plans, are reported as past due when the minimum payment has not been made for two or more billing cycles. Other multi-payment obligations (i.e., quarterly, semi-annual, etc.), single payment, and demand notes, are reported as past due when either principal or interest is due and unpaid for a period of 30 days or more.

1 Represents nonaccrual loans that are not past due more than 30 days; however, full payment of principal and interest is not expected.

Credit Quality Indicators

In addition to the nonaccrual and past due criteria, we also analyze loans using loan risk-grading systems, which vary based on the size and type of credit risk exposure. The internal risk-grades assigned to loans follow our definitions of Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, and Doubtful, which are consistent with published definitions of regulatory risk classifications.

Definitions of Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, and Doubtful are summarized as follows:

•Pass — A Pass asset is higher-quality and does not fit any of the other categories described below. The likelihood of loss is considered low.

•Special Mention — A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in our credit position at some future date.

•Substandard — A Substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified have well-defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that we may sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.

•Doubtful — A Doubtful asset has all the weaknesses inherent in a Substandard asset with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable.

There were no loans classified as Doubtful at both December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

For commercial and CRE loans with commitments greater than $1 million, we assign one of multiple grades within the Pass classification or one of the risk classifications described previously. We confirm our internal risk-grades quarterly, or as soon as we identify information that affects the credit risk of the loan.

For consumer loans and for commercial and CRE loans with commitments less than or equal to $1 million, we generally assign internal risk-grades similar to those described previously based on automated rules that depend on refreshed credit scores, payment performance, and other risk indicators. These are generally assigned either a Pass, Special Mention, or Substandard grade, and are reviewed as we identify information that might warrant a grade change.

The amortized cost basis of loans and leases categorized by year of origination and by credit quality classifications as monitored by management are summarized as follows:

Modified and Restructured Loans

We consider many factors in determining whether to agree to a loan modification involving concessions, and we seek a solution that will both minimize potential loss to us and attempt to help the borrower. We evaluate

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

borrowers’ current and forecasted future cash flows, their ability and willingness to make current contractual or proposed modified payments, the value of the underlying collateral (if applicable), the possibility of obtaining additional security or guarantees, and the potential costs related to a repossession or foreclosure and the subsequent sale of the collateral.

TDRs are classified as either accrual or nonaccrual loans. A loan on nonaccrual and restructured as a TDR will remain on nonaccrual status until the borrower has proven the ability to perform under the modified structure for a minimum of six months, and there is evidence that such payments can and are likely to continue as agreed. Performance prior to the restructuring, or significant events that coincide with the restructuring, are included in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and may result in the loan being returned to accrual at the time of restructuring or after a shorter performance period. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is uncertain, the loan remains classified as a nonaccrual loan. A TDR loan that specifies an interest rate that, at the time of the restructuring, is greater than or equal to the rate we are willing to accept for a new loan with comparable risk may not be reported as a TDR in the calendar years subsequent to the restructuring if it is in compliance with its modified terms.

Loan modifications provided to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties exclusively related to the COVID-19 pandemic, in which we provide certain short-term modifications or payment deferrals, are not classified as TDRs. The TDRs disclosed subsequently do not include these loan modifications. Other loan modifications above and beyond these short-term modifications or payment deferrals were assessed for TDR classification.

2 Includes TDRs that resulted from a combination of any of the previous modification types.

Unfunded lending commitments on TDRs totaled $7 million and $10 million at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

The total amortized cost of all TDRs in which interest rates were modified below market was $63 million at December 31, 2022, and $100 million at December 31, 2021. These loans are included in the previous schedule in the columns for interest rate below market and multiple modification types.

The net financial impact on interest income due to interest rate modifications below market for accruing TDRs for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was not significant.

On an ongoing basis, we monitor the performance of all TDRs according to their restructured terms. Subsequent payment default is defined in terms of delinquency, when principal or interest payments are past due 90 days or more for commercial loans, or 60 days or more for consumer loans.

The amortized cost of accruing and nonaccruing TDRs that had a payment default during the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, which were still in default at period end, and were within 12 months or less of being modified as TDRs was approximately $10 million and $3 million, respectively.

Collateral-dependent Loans

When a loan is individually evaluated for expected credit losses, we estimate a specific reserve for the loan based on the projected present value of the loan’s future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the observable market price of the loan, or the fair value of the loan’s underlying collateral.

Select information on loans for which the repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the underlying collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, including the type of collateral and the extent to which the collateral secures the loans, is summarized as follows:

Foreclosed Residential Real Estate

At December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, we did not have any foreclosed residential real estate property. The amortized cost basis of consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure was $10 million for both periods.

7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Objectives for Using Derivatives

Our primary objective for using derivatives is to manage risks, primarily interest rate risk. We use derivatives to manage volatility in interest income, interest expense, earnings, and capital by adjusting our interest rate sensitivity to minimize the impact of fluctuations in interest rates. Derivatives are used to stabilize forecasted interest income from variable-rate assets and to modify the coupon or the duration of fixed-rate financial assets or liabilities as we consider advisable. We also assist customers with their risk management needs through the use of derivatives.

Derivatives Related to Interest Rate Risk Management — When we use derivatives as hedges, either for economic or accounting purposes, it is done only to manage identified risks. We apply hedge accounting to certain derivatives executed for risk management purposes. However, we do not apply hedge accounting to all the derivatives involved in our risk management activities. Derivatives not designated as accounting hedges are not speculative and are used to economically manage our exposure to interest rate movements, including offsetting customer-facing derivatives. These derivatives either do not require the use of hedge accounting for their economic impact to be appropriately reflected in our financial statements or they do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements.

Derivatives Related to Customers — We provide certain borrowers access to over-the-counter interest rate derivatives, which we generally offset with interest rate derivatives executed with dealers or central clearing houses. Other interest rate derivatives that we provide to customers, or use for our own purposes, include mortgage rate locks and forward sale loan commitments. We also provide commercial customers with short-term foreign currency spot trades or forward contracts with maturities that are typically 90 days or less. These trades are also largely offset by foreign currency trades with closely matching terms executed with other dealer counterparties or central clearing houses.

Accounting for Derivatives

We record all derivatives at fair value, and they are presented on the consolidated balance sheet in “Other assets” or “Other liabilities,” regardless of the accounting designation of each derivative. We enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master netting agreements, or similar agreements, with substantially all derivative counterparties. Where legally enforceable, these master netting agreements give us, in the event of default or the triggering of other specified contingent events by the counterparty, the right to use cash or liquidate securities held as collateral and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty. For purposes of the Consolidated Balance Sheet, we report all derivatives on a gross fair value basis (i.e., we do not offset derivative assets and liabilities and cash collateral held with the same counterparty where we have a legally enforceable master netting agreement). Note 3 discusses the process to estimate fair value for derivatives. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting accounting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments attributable to interest rates or other eligible risks, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are not part of designated fair value or cash flow hedging relationships are recorded in current period earnings.

Fair Value Hedges — We generally use interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges to hedge changes in the fair value of fixed-rate assets and liabilities for specific risks (e.g., interest rate risk resulting from changes in a benchmark interest rate). We use both pay-fixed, receive-floating and received-fixed, pay-floating interest rate swaps to effectively convert the fixed-rate assets and liabilities to floating rates. In qualifying fair value hedges, changes in value of the derivative hedging instrument are recognized in current period earnings in the same line item affected by the hedged item. Similarly, the periodic changes in value of the hedged item, for the risk being hedged, are recognized in current period earnings, thereby offsetting all, or a significant majority, of the change in the value of the derivative hedging instrument. Interest accruals on both the derivative hedging instrument and the hedged item are recorded in the same line item, effectively converting the designated fixed-rate assets or liabilities to a floating rate. Generally, the designated risk being hedged in all of our fair value hedges is the change in fair value of the LIBOR (or alternative rate) benchmark swap rate component of the contractual coupon cash flows of the fixed-rate assets or liabilities. The swaps are structured to match the critical terms of the hedged items, maximizing the economic (and accounting) effectiveness of the hedging relationships and resulting in the expectation that the swaps will be highly effective as a hedging instrument. All interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges were highly effective and met all other requirements to remain designated and part of qualifying hedge accounting relationships as of the balance sheet date.

Fair Value Hedges of Liabilities — At December 31, 2022, we had one receive-fixed interest rate swap with a notional amount of $500 million designated in a qualifying fair value hedge relationship of fixed-rate debt. The receive-fixed interest rate swap effectively converts the interest on our fixed-rate debt to floating. During 2022,

116

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

approximately $1 million of unamortized debt basis adjustments related to previously terminated fair value hedges of debt was amortized as a decrease to interest expense. We have no remaining unamortized debt basis adjustments from previously designated fair value hedges remaining.

Fair Value Hedges of Assets — We hedge certain newly acquired fixed-rate AFS securities using pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps, effectively converting the fixed coupon to a floating-rate on the hedged portion of the securities. We have $10 million of cumulative unamortized basis adjustments from previous fair value hedging relationships, which will continue to be amortized as an adjustment to interest income through the end of 2050, thereby increasing the effective interest rate recognized on these securities. At December 31, 2022, we had qualifying fair value hedging relationships of fixed-rate AFS securities being hedged by pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $1.2 billion (inclusive of forward starting swaps).

Cash Flow Hedges — For derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, as long as the hedging relationship continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument is recorded in OCI and recognized in earnings as the hedged transaction affects earnings. Ineffectiveness is not measured or separately disclosed. Derivative amounts affecting earnings are recognized in the same line item as the hedged transactions. We may use interest rate swaps, options, or a combination of options in our cash flow hedging strategy to eliminate or reduce the variability of interest receipts on floating-rate commercial loans due to changes in any separately identifiable and reliably measurable contractual interest rate index.

At December 31, 2022, we had receive-fixed interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $7.6 billion designated as cash flow hedges of the variability of interest receipts on floating-rate commercial loans due to changes in the LIBOR swap rate. At December 31, 2022, we have $410 million of net deferred losses in AOCI from active cash flow hedges. There were no amounts deferred in AOCI for terminated cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2022. Amounts deferred in AOCI from cash flow hedges are expected to be fully reclassified to interest income by the third quarter of 2027.

Hedge Effectiveness — We assess the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in fair value or cash flows on the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in fair value or cash flows on the designated hedged item or transactions for the risk being hedged. If a hedging relationship ceases to qualify for hedge accounting, the relationship is discontinued and future changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized in current period earnings. For a discontinued or terminated fair value hedging relationship, all remaining basis adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged item are amortized to interest income or expense over the remaining life of the hedged item consistent with the amortization of other discounts or premiums. Previous balances deferred in AOCI from discontinued or terminated cash flow hedges are reclassified to interest income or expense as the hedged transactions affect earnings or over the originally specified term of the hedging relationship.

Collateral and Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility of nonperformance by counterparties. No significant losses on derivative instruments have occurred during 2022 as a result of counterparty nonperformance. We reduce our counterparty exposure for derivative contracts by centrally clearing all eligible derivatives and by executing dealer-facing derivative transactions with well-capitalized financial institutions.

For those derivatives that are not centrally cleared, the counterparties are typically financial institutions or our customers. For those that are financial institutions, as noted above, we manage our credit exposure through the use of a Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) to an ISDA master agreement with each counterparty. Eligible collateral types are documented by the CSA and controlled under our general credit policies. Collateral balances are typically monitored on a daily basis. A valuation haircut policy reflects the fact that collateral may fall in value between the date the collateral is called and the date of liquidation or enforcement. At December 31, 2022, all of our collateral held as credit risk mitigation under a CSA was cash.

We offer interest rate swaps to our customers to assist them in managing their exposure to changing interest rates. Upon issuance, all of these customer swaps are immediately offset through closely matching derivative contracts to

117

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

minimize our interest rate risk exposure resulting from such transactions. Fee income from customer swaps is recorded in “Capital markets and foreign exchange fees” on the consolidated statement of income.

We manage the credit risk associated with customer nonperformance through additional underwriting that includes modeling the credit risk exposure for the swap, shared collateral and guarantee protection applicable to the loan and credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures. We measure counterparty credit risk through the calculation of a CVA that captures the value of both the nonperformance risk that we have to our customers and that they have to us. Periodic changes in the net CVA are recorded in current period earnings in “Fair value and nonhedge derivative income or loss” on the consolidated statement of income.

Our derivative contracts require us to pledge collateral for derivatives that are in a net liability position. Certain derivative contracts contain credit-risk-related contingent features that include the requirement to maintain a minimum debt credit rating. We may be required to pledge additional collateral if a credit-risk-related feature were triggered, such as a downgrade of our credit rating. However, in past situations, not all counterparties have demanded that additional collateral be pledged when provided for by the contractual terms. At December 31, 2022, the fair value of our derivative liabilities was $451 million, for which we were required to pledge cash collateral of approximately $152 million in the normal course of business. If our credit rating were downgraded one notch by either Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) or Moody’s at December 31, 2022, there would likely be no additional collateral required to be pledged. Derivatives that are centrally cleared do not have credit-risk-related features that require additional collateral if our credit rating were downgraded.

8. LEASES

We have operating and finance leases for branches, corporate offices, and data centers. At December 31, 2022, we had 416 branches, of which 277 are owned and 139 are leased. We lease our headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah. The remaining maturities of our lease commitments range from the year 2023 to 2062, and some lease arrangements include options to extend or terminate the leases.

All leases with lease terms greater than twelve months are reported as a lease liability with a corresponding ROU asset. We present ROU assets for operating leases and finance leases on the consolidated balance sheet in “Other assets,” and “Premises, equipment and software, net,” respectively. The corresponding liabilities for those leases are presented in “Other liabilities,” and “Long-term debt.”

ROU assets and related lease liabilities reflect the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our secured incremental borrowing rate that is commensurate with the lease term when calculating the present value of future

payments. The ROU asset also reflects any lease prepayments, initial direct costs, amortization, and certain nonlease components, such as maintenance, utilities or tax payments. Our lease terms incorporate options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise these options.

10. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is recorded at fair value at the time of its acquisition and is subsequently evaluated for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. Based on the annual impairment evaluation conducted in 2022 and 2021, there was no goodwill impairment present in any of our operating segments.

The following schedule presents the carrying amount of goodwill for our business segments with goodwill, as well as the balance of our core deposits and other intangible assets, net of related accumulated amortization:

Total goodwill	$	1,027	$	1,014
Core deposits and other intangibles, net of accumulated amortization	38		1
Total goodwill and intangibles	$	1,065	$	1,015

The increase in goodwill is due to the NSB purchase of three Northern Nevada City National Bank branches and their associated deposit, credit card, and loan accounts in July 2022. The increase in other intangible assets was driven largely from an acquisition of intellectual property from one of our operating partners that offers compliance and other support services to pharmacies and healthcare providers.

We may borrow from the FHLB under lines of credit that are secured by blanket pledge arrangements. We maintain unencumbered collateral with carrying amounts adjusted for the types of collateral pledged, equal to at least 100% of the outstanding advances. At December 31, 2022, the amount of collateral pledged and available for FHLB borrowings was approximately $9.4 billion. We may also borrow from the Federal Reserve based on the amount of collateral pledged. At December 31, 2022, the amount of collateral pledged and available for Federal Reserve borrowings was approximately $4.0 billion.

Federal funds purchased and security repurchase agreements generally mature in less than 30 days. We execute overnight repurchase agreements with sweep accounts in conjunction with a master repurchase agreement. When this occurs, securities under our control are pledged and interest is paid on the collected balance of the customers’ accounts. For the nonsweep overnight and term repurchase agreements, securities are transferred to the applicable counterparty. In certain instances, the counterparty is contractually entitled to sell or repledge securities accepted as collateral. Of the total security repurchase agreements at December 31, 2022, nearly all were overnight term accounts.

13. LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt is summarized as follows:

Subordinated notes	$	519	$	590
Senior notes	128		418
Finance lease obligations	4		4
Total	$	651	$	1,012

The carrying values presented above include the par value of the debt, adjusted for any unamortized premium or discount, unamortized debt issuance costs, and fair value hedge basis adjustments. The overall decrease in long-term debt from the prior year was primarily due to the redemption of $290 million of senior notes during the first quarter of 2022.

During 2020, we terminated two receive-fixed interest rate swaps designated as hedges on senior notes, resulting in one outstanding receive-fixed interest rate swap designated as a hedge on a $500 million subordinated note with an interest rate of 3.25% at December 31, 2022. The outstanding swap constitutes a qualifying fair value hedging relationship. The terminated interest rate swaps adjusted the carrying value of the notes and this adjustment is amortized into earnings until the original maturity date. See Note 7 for more information on derivatives designated as qualifying hedges.

Subordinated Notes

The following schedule presents our subordinated notes outstanding at December 31, 2022:

14. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

We have 4.4 million authorized shares of preferred stock without par value and with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, or $25 per depositary share. Except for Series I and J, all preferred shares were issued in the form of depositary shares, with each depositary share representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of the preferred stock. All preferred shares are registered with the SEC. In addition, Series A and G preferred shares are listed and traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.

Preferred shareholders generally receive asset distributions before common shareholders; however, preferred shareholders have only limited voting rights. Preferred stock dividends reduce earnings applicable to common shareholders and are paid on the 15th day of the months indicated in the following schedule. Dividends are approved by the Board.

The preferred shares are redeemable at our option after the expiration of any applicable redemption restrictions. The redemption amount is computed at the per share liquidation preference plus any declared but unpaid dividends. Redemptions are subject to certain regulatory provisions including satisfying well-capitalized minimum requirements.

During the second quarter of 2021, we redeemed the outstanding shares of our 5.75% Series H Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock at par value, resulting in a $126 million decrease of preferred stock. There were no additional fees or premium paid associated with the redemption.

Common Stock

Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. At December 31, 2022, there were 148.7 million shares of $0.001 par common stock outstanding. The balance of common stock and additional paid-in-capital was $1.8 billion at December 31, 2022, and decreased $174 million, or 9%, primarily as a result of common stock repurchases.

During 2022, we repurchased 3.6 million shares of common shares outstanding with a fair value of $200 million at an average price of $56.13 per share. During 2021, we repurchased 13.5 million shares of common shares outstanding with a fair value of $800 million at an average price of $59.27 per share. In February 2023, we repurchased 946,644 common shares outstanding for $50 million at an average price of $52.82.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

AOCI decreased $3.0 billion to a loss of $3.1 billion at December 31, 2022, primarily due to the decline in the fair value of AFS securities as a result of increases in benchmark interest rates.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, we transferred approximately $10.7 billion fair value ($13.1 billion amortized cost) of mortgage-backed AFS securities to the HTM category to reflect our intent for these securities. The amortized cost basis of these securities does not include $2.4 billion of unrealized losses in AOCI that is amortized over the life of the securities. The amortization of the unrealized losses reported in AOCI will offset the effect of the accretion of the discount in interest income that is created by adjusting the amortized cost basis to the securities’ fair value on the date of the transfer.

Deferred Compensation

Deferred compensation consists of invested assets, including our common stock, which are held in rabbi trusts for certain employees and directors. The cost of our common stock was approximately $14 million and $13 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We consolidate the rabbi trust assets and liabilities and include them in “Other assets” and “Other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, total invested assets were approximately $114 million and $138 million, and total obligations were approximately $128 million and $151 million, respectively.

15. REGULATORY MATTERS

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory — and possibly additional discretionary — actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Required capital levels are also subject to judgmental review by regulators. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, we exceeded all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III capital rules.

127

Table of Contents

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total capital, Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations), and common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets (Tier 1 leverage ratio). “Well-capitalized” levels are also published as a guideline to evaluate capital positions. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, all of our capital ratios exceeded the “well-capitalized” levels under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Dividends declared by us may not exceed specified criteria unless otherwise approved by our regulators. When determining dividends, we consider current and historical earning levels, retained earnings, and risk-based and other regulatory capital requirements and limitations.

Our internal stress tests seek to comprehensively measure all risks to which we are exposed, the losses that could result from those risk exposures under adverse scenarios, and our resulting capital levels. These stress tests have both a qualitative and a quantitative component. The qualitative component evaluates our risk identification processes, stress risk modeling, policies, capital planning, governance processes, and other components of a capital adequacy process. The quantitative process subjects our balance sheet and other risk characteristics to stress testing by using our own models.

Our capital amounts and ratios under Basel III at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:


(Dollar amounts in millions)	December 31, 2022				To be well-capitalized
	Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio
Basel III Regulatory Capital Amounts and Ratios
Common equity tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)	$	6,481	9.8	%	$	4,297	6.5	%
Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)	6,921		10.5		5,289		8.0
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)	8,077		12.2		6,611		10.0
Tier 1 leverage ratio	6,921		7.7		4,472		5.0


	December 31, 2021				To be well-capitalized
(Dollar amounts in millions)	Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio
Basel III Regulatory Capital Amounts and Ratios
Common equity tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)	$	6,068	10.2	%	$	3,874	6.5	%
Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)	6,508		10.9		4,768		8.0
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)	7,652		12.8		5,960		10.0
Tier 1 leverage ratio	6,508		7.2		4,546		5.0

The Basel III capital rules require us to maintain certain minimum capital ratios, as well as a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer,” which is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress, composed entirely of CET1, and in excess of the minimum risk-based capital ratios. The following schedule presents the minimum capital ratios and capital conservation buffer requirements, compared with our capital ratios at December 31, 2022.


	December 31, 2022
	Minimum capital requirement		Capital conservation buffer		Minimum capital ratio requirement with capital conservation buffer		Current capital ratio

CET1 to risk-weighted assets	4.5	%	2.5	%	7.0	%	9.8	%
Tier 1 capital (i.e., CET1 plus additional Tier 1 capital) to risk-weighted assets	6.0		2.5		8.5		10.5
Total capital (i.e., Tier 1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets	8.0		2.5		10.5		12.2

Financial institutions with a ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the capital conservation buffer may face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall. Our internal triggers and limits under actual conditions and baseline projections are more restrictive than the capital conservation buffer requirements.

16. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES, AND RELATED PARTIES

Commitments and Guarantees

We use certain financial instruments, including derivative instruments, in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers, to reduce our own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, and to make a market in U.S. government, agency, corporate, and municipal securities. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, liquidity, and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheet. See Notes 3 and 7 for more information on derivative instruments.

Contractual amounts related to off-balance sheet financial instruments used to meet the financing needs of our customers are as follows:

Total unfunded commitments	$	30,513	$	26,662

1 Net of participations.

2 Represents agreements with Farmer Mac to purchase securities backed by certain agricultural mortgage loans.

Loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer subject to specified conditions. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us upon extension of credit, is based on our initial credit evaluation of the counterparty. Types of collateral vary, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing properties.

While making loan commitments creates credit risk, a significant portion of such commitments is expected to expire without being drawn upon. At December 31, 2022, we had $7.7 billion of commitments scheduled to expire in 2023. We use the same credit policies and procedures in making loan commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. These policies and procedures include credit approvals, limits, and ongoing monitoring.

We issue standby and commercial letters of credit as conditional commitments generally to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Standby letters of credit include commitments of $851 million expiring in 2023. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is equivalent to the risk involved in extending credit to customers. We generally hold marketable securities and cash equivalents as collateral.

Certain mortgage loans sold have limited recourse provisions for periods ranging from three months to one year. The amount of losses resulting from the exercise of these provisions has not been significant.

Legal Matters

We are subject to litigation in court and arbitral proceedings, as well as investigations, examinations and other actions brought or considered by governmental and self-regulatory agencies. Litigation may relate to lending, deposit and other customer relationships, vendor and contractual issues, employee matters, intellectual property matters, personal injuries and torts, regulatory and legal compliance, and other matters. While most matters relate to individual claims, we are also subject to putative class action claims and similar broader claims. Proceedings, investigations, examinations and other actions brought or considered by governmental and self-regulatory agencies may relate to our banking, investment advisory, trust, securities, and other products and services; our customers’

129

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

involvement in money laundering, fraud, securities violations and other illicit activities or our policies and practices relating to such customer activities; and our compliance with the broad range of banking, securities and other laws and regulations applicable to us. At any given time, we may be in the process of responding to subpoenas, requests for documents, data and testimony relating to such matters and engaging in discussions to resolve the matters.

At December 31, 2022, we were subject to the following material litigation or governmental inquiries:

•Two civil cases, Lifescan Inc. and Johnson & Johnson Health Care Services v. Jeffrey C. Smith, et. al., brought against us in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in December 2017, and Roche Diagnostics and Roche Diabetes Care Inc. v. Jeffrey C. Smith, et. al., brought against us in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in March 2019. In these cases, certain manufacturers and distributors of medical products seek to hold us liable for allegedly fraudulent practices of a borrower of the Bank who filed for bankruptcy protection in 2017. The cases are in early phases, with initial motion practice and discovery underway in the Lifescan case. Trial has not been scheduled in either case.

•Five civil class action cases have been filed against us by the same plaintiffs’ attorney, seeking to hold the Bank liable for practices relating to, and disclosures in, its deposit agreement pertaining to fees. Four of the five cases have been dismissed, and the following case remains pending and is in early phases of litigation: Sipple v. Zions Bancorporation, N.A., brought against us in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada in February 2021 with respect to foreign transaction fees.

•In addition, two class action lawsuits, Evans v. CB&T, and Gregory, et. al. v. Zions Bancorporation, were settled in principle earlier in 2022. The settlement in the Evans case was completed in December 2022 and did not have a significant financial impact on the Bank. The parties to the Gregory case are undertaking the procedural and administrative actions, including court approvals of the settlement, necessary to complete the settlement. There can be no assurance that the proposed settlement will receive court approvals or that the conditions to settlement will be met. If completed, this settlement is not expected to have a significant financial impact on the Bank.

At least quarterly, we review outstanding and new legal matters, utilizing then available information. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, if we determine that a loss from a matter is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we establish an accrual for the loss. In the absence of such a determination, no accrual is made. Once established, accruals are adjusted to reflect developments relating to the matters.

In our review, we also assess whether we can determine the range of reasonably possible losses for significant matters in which we are unable to determine that the likelihood of a loss is remote. Because of the difficulty of predicting the outcome of legal matters, discussed subsequently, we are able to meaningfully estimate such a range only for a limited number of matters. Based on information available at December 31, 2022, we estimated that the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses for those matters to be from zero to approximately $5 million in excess of amounts accrued. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from this estimate. Those matters for which a meaningful estimate is not possible are not included within this estimated range and, therefore, this estimated range does not represent our maximum loss exposure.

Based on our current knowledge, we believe that our current estimated liability for litigation and other legal actions and claims, reflected in our accruals and determined in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, is adequate and that liabilities in excess of the amounts currently accrued, if any, arising from litigation and other legal actions and claims for which an estimate as previously described is possible, will not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, in light of the significant uncertainties involved in these matters, and the very large or indeterminate damages sought in some of these matters, an adverse outcome in one or more of these matters could be material to our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows for any given reporting period.

Any estimate or determination relating to the future resolution of litigation, arbitration, governmental or self-regulatory examinations, investigations or actions or similar matters is inherently uncertain and involves significant

130

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

judgment. This is particularly true in the early stages of a legal matter, when legal issues and facts have not been well articulated, reviewed, analyzed, and vetted through discovery, preparation for trial or hearings, substantive and productive mediation or settlement discussions, or other actions. It is also particularly true with respect to class action and similar claims involving multiple defendants, matters with complex procedural requirements or substantive issues or novel legal theories, and examinations, investigations and other actions conducted or brought by governmental and self-regulatory agencies, in which the normal adjudicative process is not applicable. Accordingly, we usually are unable to determine whether a favorable or unfavorable outcome is remote, reasonably likely, or probable, or to estimate the amount or range of a probable or reasonably likely loss, until relatively late in the course of a legal matter, sometimes not until a number of years have elapsed. Accordingly, our judgments and estimates relating to claims will change from time to time in light of developments, and actual outcomes will differ from our estimates. These differences may be material.

Related Party Transactions

We have no material related party transactions requiring disclosure. In the ordinary course of business, we extend credit to related parties, including executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, and their associates and related interests. These related party loans are made in compliance with applicable banking regulations.

17. REVENUE RECOGNITION

We derive our revenue primarily from interest income on loans and securities, which represented approximately 79% of our total revenue in 2022. Noninterest income and revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We recognize the incremental cost of obtaining a contract as an expense, when incurred, if the amortization period of the asset that we would have recognized is one year or less. For performance obligations satisfied over time, if we have a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date, we will generally recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice. We do not generally disclose information about our remaining performance obligations for those performance obligations that have an original expected duration of one year or less, or where we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice.

The following is a description of revenue from contracts with customers:

Commercial Account Fees

Commercial account fee income is comprised of account analysis fees, merchant fees, and payroll services income. Revenue is recognized as the services are rendered or upon completion of services.

Card Fees

Our card fee income includes interchange income from credit and debit cards, net fees earned from processing card transactions for merchants, and automated teller machine (“ATM”) services. Card income is recognized as earned. Reward program costs are recorded when the rewards are earned by the customer and presented as a reduction to interchange income.

Retail and Business Banking Fees

Retail and business banking fees typically consist of fees charged for providing customers with deposit services. These fees are primarily comprised of insufficient funds fees, noncustomer ATM charges, and other various fees on deposit accounts. Service charges on deposit accounts include fees earned in lieu of compensating balances, and fees earned for performing cash management services and other deposit account services. Service charges on deposit accounts in this revenue category are recognized over the period in which the related service is provided. Treasury Management fees are billed monthly based on services rendered for the month.

Capital Markets and Foreign Exchange Fees

Capital markets and foreign exchange fees primarily consist of municipal advisory services, customer swap fees, loan syndication fees, and foreign exchange services provided to customers. Revenue is recognized as the services are rendered or upon completion of services.

Wealth Management Fees

Wealth management fees are primarily comprised of wealth management commissions, but also are made up of other products such as portfolio services and advisory services. Revenue is recognized as the services are rendered or upon completion of services. Financial planning, fiduciary, and estate services typically have performance obligations that are greater than 12 months, although the amount of future performance obligations are not significant.

Other Customer-related Fees

Other customer-related fees generally consist of miscellaneous income sources, including fees associated with compliance and other support services to pharmacies and healthcare providers; corporate trust fees; other advisory and referral fees; and fees associated with claims and inventory management services for certain customers. Revenue is recognized as the services are rendered or upon completion of services.

Disaggregation of Revenue

18. RETIREMENT PLANS

Defined Benefit Plans

Pension Plan — In June 2020, we terminated our pension plan and incurred a one-time $28 million expense, which was recognized in other noninterest expense.

Supplemental Retirement Plans — These unfunded, nonqualified plans are for certain current and former employees. Each year, our contributions to these plans are made in amounts sufficient to meet benefit payments to

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

plan participants. Our liability for these plans totaled approximately $10 million and $12 million at December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

Post-retirement Plan — This unfunded health care and life insurance plan provides post-retirement benefits to certain former full-time employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. Our contribution toward the retiree medical premium has been permanently frozen at an amount that does not increase in any future year. Each year, our contributions to the plan are made in amounts sufficient to meet the portion of the premiums that are our responsibility. Our liability for this plan was less than $1 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The liability for supplemental retirement and post-retirement benefits is included in “Other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet.

Defined Contribution Plan

We offer a 401(k) and employee stock ownership plan under which employees select from several investment alternatives. Employees can contribute up to 80% of their earnings subject to the annual maximum allowed contribution. We match 100% of the first 3% of employee contributions and 50% of the next 3% of employee contributions. Matching contributions to participants amounted to $33 million, $32 million, and $31 million in 2022, 2021, and 2020 respectively.

The 401(k) plan also has a noncontributory profit-sharing feature that is discretionary and may range from 0% to 3.5% of eligible compensation based upon our performance according to a formula approved annually by the Board. The profit-sharing expense was $19 million, $24 million, and $7 million in 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The profit-sharing contribution to participants consisted of shares of our common stock purchased in the open market.

19. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We have a share-based compensation incentive plan that allows us to grant stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, and other awards to employees and nonemployee directors. Total shares authorized under the plan at December 31, 2022 were 4,300,000, of which 3,683,780 were available for future grants.

All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the statement of income based on their grant date values with consideration of service and performance vesting requirements. The value of an equity award is estimated on the grant date using a fair value model without regard to service or performance vesting conditions, but does consider post-vesting restrictions.

We classify all share-based awards as equity instruments. Compensation expense is included in salaries and employee benefits in the statement of income, and the corresponding equity effect is included in additional paid-in capital. We account for forfeitures of share-based compensation awards as they occur. Substantially all share-based awards of stock options, restricted stock, and RSUs have graded vesting that is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

The following schedule presents compensation expense and the related tax benefit for all share-based awards:


(In millions)	2022		2021		2020

Compensation expense	$	30	$	28	$	26
Reduction of income tax expense	11		11		8

At December 31, 2022, compensation expense not yet recognized for nonvested share-based awards was approximately $31 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.

Stock Options

Stock options granted to employees generally vest at the rate of one third each year and expire seven years after the date of grant. For all stock options granted in 2022, 2021, and 2020, we used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the grant date value of stock options in determining compensation expense. The following

ZIONS BANCORPORATION, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

summarizes the weighted average value at grant date and the significant assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes model for options granted:


	2022			2021			2020

Weighted average value for options granted	$	15.16		$	7.86		$	8.18
Weighted average assumptions used:
Expected dividend yield	2.3		%	2.5		%	3.0		%
Expected volatility	27.0		%	25.0		%	27.0		%
Risk-free interest rate	1.98		%	0.47		%	1.38		%
Expected life (in years)	5.0			5.0			5.0

The assumptions for expected dividend yield, expected volatility, and expected life reflect management’s judgment and include consideration of historical experience. Expected volatility is based in part on historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected life of the option.

1 The weighted average remaining contractual life excludes 5,223 stock options without a fixed expiration date that were assumed with the Amegy acquisition. They expire between the date of termination and one year from the date of termination, depending upon certain circumstances.

The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding stock options at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $4 million and $25 million, respectively, while the aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable options was $3 million and $15 million at the same respective dates. For exercisable options, the weighted average remaining contractual life was 2.8 years and 2.6 years at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, excluding the stock options previously noted without a fixed expiration date. At December 31, 2022, 532,955 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $57.23, a weighted average remaining life of 5.2 years, and an aggregate intrinsic value of $490 thousand, were expected to vest.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock is common stock with certain restrictions that relate to trading and the possibility of forfeiture. Generally, restricted stock vests over four years. Holders of restricted stock have full voting rights and receive dividend equivalents during the vesting period. In addition, holders of restricted stock can make an election to be subject to income tax on the grant date rather than the vesting date.

RSUs represent rights to one share of common stock for each unit and generally vest over four years. Holders of RSUs receive dividend equivalents during the vesting period, but do not have voting rights. Compensation expense is determined based on the number of restricted shares or RSUs granted and the market price of our common stock at the issue date. During 2022, 2021, and 2020, we granted 16,722, 16,938, and 28,992 RSUs, respectively, to nonemployee directors. The RSUs vested immediately upon grant.

Net deferred tax assets (liabilities)	$	1,128	$	96

We have certain fixed-rate AFS securities whose fair value has declined due to increases in benchmark interest rates, resulting in large unrealized losses in the AFS portfolio and a significant DTA. The sale of these securities could result in significant realized losses, which would require future earnings to utilize the deferred tax assets. We have the ability and intent to hold these securities to recovery.

We evaluate DTAs on a regular basis to determine whether a valuation allowance is required. In conducting this evaluation, we consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, based on the more-likely-than-not criteria that such assets will be realized. This evaluation includes, but is not limited to, the following:

•Future reversals of existing DTLs — These DTLs have a reversal pattern generally consistent with DTAs, and are used to realize the DTAs.

•Tax planning strategies — We have considered prudent and feasible tax planning strategies that we would implement to preserve the value of the DTAs, if necessary.

•Future projected taxable income — We expect future taxable income will offset the reversal of remaining net DTAs.

Based on this evaluation, we concluded that a valuation allowance was not required at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

At December 31, 2022, the tax effect of remaining net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards was less than $1 million, expiring through 2039.

At both December 31, 2022 and 2021, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits included approximately $12 million (net of the federal tax benefit on state taxes) that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits related to tax credits on technology initiatives that may increase or decrease during the 12 months subsequent to December 31, 2022 is dependent on the timing and outcome of various ongoing federal and state examinations. For tax years not currently under examination, the gross unrecognized tax benefits on technology initiatives may decrease by approximately $5 million.

Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are included in income tax expense in the statement of income. At both December 31, 2022 and 2021, accrued interest and penalties recognized in the balance sheet, net of any federal and state tax benefits, totaled approximately $1 million.

We file income tax returns in U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions, and we are no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2013 for federal and certain state returns.

22. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

We manage our operations with a primary focus on geographic area. We conduct our operations primarily through seven separately managed affiliate banks, each with its own local branding and management team, including Zions Bank, Amegy Bank, California Bank & Trust, National Bank of Arizona, Nevada State Bank, Vectra Bank Colorado, and The Commerce Bank of Washington. These affiliate banks comprise our primary business segments. Performance assessment and resource allocation are based upon this geographic structure. Our affiliate banks are supported by an enterprise operating segment (referred to as the “Other” segment) that provides governance and risk management, allocates capital, establishes strategic objectives, and includes centralized technology, back-office functions, and certain lines of business not operated through our affiliate banks.

We allocate the cost of centrally provided services to the business segments based upon estimated or actual usage of those services. We also allocate capital based on the risk-weighted assets held at each business segment. We use an internal funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) allocation process to report results of operations for business segments. This process is subject to change and refinement over time. In the third quarter of 2020, we began allocating the net interest income associated with our Treasury department to the business segments. Historically, this amount was presented in the “Other” segment. Prior period amounts have been revised to reflect the impact of these changes had they been instituted for the periods presented. Total average loans and deposits presented for the business segments include insignificant intercompany amounts between business segments and may also include deposits with the “Other” segment.

At December 31, 2022, Zions Bank operated 95 branches in Utah, 25 branches in Idaho, and one branch in Wyoming. CB&T operated 80 branches in California. Amegy operated 75 branches in Texas. NBAZ operated 56 branches in Arizona. NSB operated 46 branches in Nevada. Vectra operated 34 branches in Colorado and one branch in New Mexico. TCBW operated two branches in Washington and one branch in Oregon.

In July 2022, NSB completed the purchase of three Northern Nevada City National Bank branches and their associated deposit, credit card, and loan accounts. We acquired approximately $430 million in deposits and $95 million in commercial and consumer loans at the time of the purchase.

Transactions between business segments are primarily conducted at fair value, resulting in profits that are eliminated for reporting consolidated results of operations. The following schedule presents average loans, average deposits, and income before income taxes because we use these metrics when evaluating performance and making decisions pertaining to the business segments. The condensed statement of income identifies the components of income and expense which affect the operating amounts presented in the “Other” segment.
