Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about the Company and its industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Statements other than statements of current or historical fact, including statements regarding the Company's future financial condition, results of operations, business plans, liquidity, cash flows, projected costs, and the impact of any laws or regulations applicable to the Company, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
national, regional and local economic conditions may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, increased charge-offs of loans, higher provisions for credit losses and/or reduced demand for the Company's services;
disruptions to the credit and financial markets, either nationally or globally;
the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have an adverse impact on the Company's business and financial results;
decline in real estate values or overall economic weakness could also have an adverse impact upon the value of real estate or other assets which the Company owns as a result of foreclosing a loan and its ability to realize value on such assets;
legislative, regulatory or accounting changes, which may adversely affect our business and/or competitive position, impose additional costs on the Company or cause us to change our business practices;
the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies;
the impact of consumer protection regulations, including the CFPB's residential mortgage and other regulations, which could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations;
the failure to satisfy capital adequacy and liquidity guidelines applicable to the Company;
volatile or declining oil prices, which could have a negative impact on the economies and real estate markets of states such as Texas, resulting in, among other things, higher delinquencies and increased charge-offs in the energy lending portfolio as well as other commercial and consumer loan portfolios indirectly impacted by declining oil prices;
a failure by the Company to effectively manage the risks the Company faces, including credit, operational and cyber security risks;
failure to control concentration risk such as loan type, industry segment, borrower type or location of the borrower or collateral;
changes in the creditworthiness of customers;
downgrades to the Company's credit ratings;
changes in interest rates which could affect interest rate spreads and net interest income;
costs and effects of litigation, regulatory investigations, examinations or similar matters;
disruptions in the Company's ability to access capital markets, which may adversely affect its capital resources and liquidity;
increased loan losses or impairment of goodwill;
the Company's heavy reliance on communications and information systems to conduct its business and reliance on third parties and affiliates to provide key components of its business infrastructure, any disruptions of which could interrupt the Company's operations or increase the costs of doing business;
negative public opinion, which could damage the Company's reputation and adversely impact business and revenues;
the Company depends on the expertise of key personnel, and if these individuals leave or change their roles without effective replacements, operations may suffer;
the Company's financial reporting controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or fraud;
the Company is subject to certain risks related to originating and selling mortgages. It may be required to repurchase mortgage loans or indemnify mortgage loan purchases as a result of breaches of representations

5


and warranties, borrower fraud or certain breaches of its servicing agreements, and this could harm the Company's liquidity, results of operations and financial condition;
increased pressures from competitors (both banks and non-banks) and/or an inability by the Company to remain competitive in the financial services industry, particularly in the markets which the Company serves, and keep pace with technological changes;
unpredictable natural or other disasters, which could impact the Company's customers or operations;
a loss of customer deposits, which could increase the Company's funding costs;
the Company's dependence on the accuracy and completeness of information about clients and counterparties;
changes in the Company's accounting policies or in accounting standards which could materially affect how the Company reports financial results and condition;
the Company has in the past and may in the future pursue acquisitions, which could affect costs and from which the Company may not be able to realize anticipated benefits; and
the Company may not be able to hire or retain additional qualified personnel and recruiting and compensation costs may increase as a result of turnover, both of which may increase costs and reduce profitability and may adversely impact the Company's ability to implement the Company's business strategies.
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the time they are made and do not necessarily reflect the Company’s outlook at any other point in time. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or for any other reason. However, readers should carefully review the risk factors set forth in other reports or documents the Company files periodically with the SEC.

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


(1) Basis of Presentation
General
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and the methods of applying those policies that materially affect the consolidated financial statements conform with U.S. GAAP and with general financial services industry practices. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2020. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to determine if either recognition or disclosure of significant events or transactions is required.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, the most significant of which relate to the allowance for credit losses and goodwill impairment. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the results of operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments within its scope. The new approach changes the impairment model for most financial assets, and will require the use of an “expected credit loss” model for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments. This model applies to receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, and off-balance sheet credit exposures. This model requires entities to estimate the lifetime expected credit loss on such instruments and record an allowance that represents the portion of the amortized cost basis that the entity does not expect to collect. This allowance is deducted from the financial asset’s amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected. The new expected credit loss model also applies to purchased financial assets with credit deterioration, superseding current accounting guidance for such assets.
The amended guidance also amends the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities, requiring entities to determine whether all or a portion of the unrealized loss on such securities is a credit loss, and also eliminating the option for management to consider the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position as a factor in concluding whether or not a credit loss exists. The amended model states that an entity will recognize an allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities, instead of a direct reduction of the amortized cost basis of the investment, as required under current guidance. As a result, entities recognize improvements to estimated credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities immediately in earnings as opposed to in interest income over time. There are also additional disclosure requirements included in this guidance.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19 and in April, May and November 2019 and February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-11, and ASU 2020-02 respectively, which made minor clarifications to the guidance in ASU 2016-13.

12


The Company’s implementation process included loss model development, data sourcing and validation, development of governance processes, development of a qualitative framework, documentation and governance surrounding economic forecast for credit loss purposes, evaluation of technical accounting topics, updates to allowance policies and methodology documentation, development of reporting processes and related internal controls.
The Company adopted this ASU, as amended on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under this ASU, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a net of tax increase to accumulated deficit of $150.2 million as of January 1, 2020 for the cumulative effect of adopting this ASU.
The Company adopted this ASU using the prospective transition approach for debt securities for which other-than -temporary impairment has been recognized prior to January 1, 2020. As a result, the amortized cost basis remained the same before and after the effective date of this ASU. The effective interest rate on these debt securities was not changed. Amounts previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income as of January 1, 2020 related to improvements in cash flows expected to be collected will be accreted into income over the remaining life of the asset. Recoveries of amounts previously written off relating to improvements in cash flows after January 1, 2020 will be recorded in earnings when received.
The amended guidance in this ASU eliminates the current accounting model for purchased-credit-impaired loans, but requires an allowance to be recognized for purchased-credit-deteriorated assets (those that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination). The Company had no impact from purchased-credit-deteriorated assets upon adoption.
The following table illustrates the impact of ASC 326.

See Note 2, Debt Securities Available for Sale and Debt Securities Held to Maturity, and Note 3, Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses, for the required disclosures in accordance with this ASU.
Fair Value Measurements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements. The amendments in this ASU modified the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have material impact on the financial condition or results of operation of the Company. See Note 9, Fair Value Measurements, for the modified disclosure in accordance with this ASU.

13


Internal-Use Software
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. The amendments in this ASU align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have material impact on the financial condition or results of operation of the Company.

The investments held within the states and political subdivision caption of debt securities held to maturity relate to private placement transactions underwritten as loans by the Company but that meet the definition of a security within ASC Topic 320, Investments – Debt Securities.
As noted in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, the Company adopted ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, which had an immaterial impact on the Company's available for sale debt securities and held to maturity debt securities.
The Company records its HTM debt securities at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as AFS when they might be sold before they mature. The Company records its AFS debt securities at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income.
The Company measures expected credit losses on held to maturity debt securities on a collective basis by major security type. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The majority of the Company's HTM debt securities portfolio consists of U.S. government entities and agencies which are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major credit rating agencies and inherently have minimal risk of nonpayment and therefore has applied a zero credit loss assumption for these securities.
Under the revised guidance of ASC 326, if the fair value of a security falls below the amortized cost basis, the security will be evaluated to determine if any of the decline in value is attributable to credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security, and adverse conditions specially related to the security, among other factors. If it is determined that a credit loss exists then an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. If the credit subsequently improves, the allowance is reversed. When the Company intends to sell an impaired AFS debt security or it is more likely than not that the security will be required to be sold prior to recovering the amortized cost basis, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income.
A debt security is placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become 90 days delinquent. The Company has elected to not measure an allowance on its accrued interest receivable as a result of the timely reversal of interest receivable deemed uncollectible. Interest accrued but not received for a security placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income.

The following tables disclose the fair value and the gross unrealized losses of the Company’s available for sale debt securities that were in a loss position at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded at June 30, 2020. This information is aggregated by investment category and the length of time the individual securities have been in an unrealized loss position.

As indicated in the previous tables, at June 30, 2020, the Company held debt securities in unrealized loss positions. The Company has not recognized the unrealized losses into income for its securities because they are all backed by the U.S. government or government agencies and management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach maturity.

The Company regularly evaluates each held to maturity debt security for credit losses on a quarterly basis. The Company has not recorded a provision for credit loss related to its agency securities because they are all backed by the U.S. government or government agencies and have been deemed to have zero expected credit loss as of June 30, 2020. These securities are evaluated quarterly to determine if they still qualify as a zero credit loss security. The Company has non-agency securities that have unrealized losses at June 30, 2020. The Company considers such factors as the extent to which the fair value has been below cost and the financial condition of the issuer.
The Company monitors the credit quality of its HTM debt securities through credit ratings. The following table presents the amortized cost of HTM debt securities, as of June 30, 2020, aggregated by credit quality indicator.

(3) Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
Loans
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the forseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are considered held-for-investment. Loans are stated at amortized cost, net of the allowance for loan losses. Amortized cost, or the recorded investment, is the principal balance outstanding, adjusted for charge-offs, deferred loan fees and direct costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Accrued interest receivable is reported in other assets on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest income is accrued on the principal balance outstanding and is recognized on the interest method. Loan fees, net of direct costs and unamortized premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to the yield of the related loan over the term of the loan and are included as a noncash adjustment in the net cash provided by operating activities in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
The Company has elected to not measure an allowance on its accrued interest receivable as a result of the timely reversal of interest receivable deemed uncollectible. It is the general policy of the Company to stop accruing interest income and apply subsequent interest payments as principal reductions when any commercial, industrial, commercial real estate or construction loan is 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest and/or the ultimate collection of either is in doubt, unless collection of both principal and interest is assured by way of collateralization, guarantees or other security. Accrual of interest income on consumer loans, including residential real estate loans, is generally suspended when any payment of principal or interest is more than 90 days delinquent or when foreclosure proceedings

18


have been initiated or repossession of the underlying collateral has occurred. When a loan is placed on a nonaccrual status, any interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current interest income unless the fair value of the collateral for the loan is sufficient to cover the accrued interest.
In general, a loan is returned to accrual status when none of its principal and interest is due and unpaid and the Company expects repayments of the remaining contractual principal and interest or when it is determined to be well secured and in the process of collection. Charge-offs on commercial loans are recognized when available information confirms that some or all of the balance is uncollectible. Consumer loans are subject to mandatory charge-off at a specified delinquency date consistent with regulatory guidelines. In general, charge-offs on consumer loans are recognized at the earlier of the month of liquidation or the month the loan becomes 120 days past due; residential loan deficiencies are charged off in the month the loan becomes 180 days past due; and credit card loans are charged off before the end of the month when the loan becomes 180 days past due with the related interest accrued but not collected reversed against current income. The Company determines past due or delinquency status of a loan based on contractual payment terms.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
A loan is accounted for as a TDR if the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. A TDR typically involves a modification of terms such as establishment of a below market interest rate, a reduction in the principal amount of the loan, a reduction of accrued interest or an extension of the maturity date at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for a new loan with similar risk. The Company’s policy for measuring the allowance for credit losses on TDRs, including TDRs that have defaulted, is consistent with its policy for other loans held for investment. The Company’s policy for returning nonaccrual TDRs to accrual status is consistent with its return to accrual policy for all other loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Management uses discounted cash flows, default probabilities and loss severities to calculate the allowance for loan losses.
Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, gross domestic product, or other relevant factors. The Company has internally developed a macroeconomic forecast which projects over a four-year reasonable and supportable forecast period. Management may change the horizon of the forecast in response to changes in portfolio composition or performance as well as changes in the economic environment. After the forecast period, the Company reverts to long run historical average default probabilities and loss severities using a linear model with a variable reversion speed determined on a portfolio basis, for those portfolios with sufficient history.
Economic Forecast: Management selects economic variables it believes to be most relevant based on the composition of the loan portfolio and customer base, including forecasted levels of employment, gross domestic product, real estate price indices, interest rates and corporate bond spreads. The Company uses an internally formulated and approved single baseline economic scenario for the collective estimation. However, management will assess the uncertainty associated with the baseline scenario in each period, and may make adjustments based on alternative scenarios applied through the qualitative framework.
Determining the Contractual Term: Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a troubled debt restructuring

19


will be executed with an individual borrower. While the Company does have contracts with extension or renewal options included, the vast majority are considered unconditionally cancellable.
The Company monitors the entire loan portfolio so that risks in the portfolio can be identified on a timely basis and an appropriate allowance maintained. Loan review procedures, including loan grading, periodic credit rescoring and trend analysis of portfolio performance, are utilized by the Company in order to ensure that potential problem loans are identified. Management’s involvement continues throughout the process and includes participation in the work-out process and recovery activity. These formalized procedures are monitored internally and by regulatory agencies. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company has identified the following portfolio segments: commercial, financial and agricultural; commercial real estate; residential real estate; and consumer. Commercial loans utilize internal risk grades aligned with regulatory classifications to assess risks. Consumer loans utilize credit scoring models as the basis for assessing risk of consumer borrowers. The Company estimates the present value of cash shortfalls resulting from the sum of the marginal losses occurring in each time period, on an annual basis, over the remaining life of the loan. The marginal losses are derived from the projection of principal balance, inclusive of principal cash flow and prepayment schedules, and parameters reflecting the severity of losses (LGD) in the case of default that is given by the marginal probability of default (Marginal PD) for each period of the portfolio’s lifetime. The Company also includes the considerations of a forecasted macroeconomic scenario by adjusting the PDs and LGDs applied, with econometric models dependent on the aforementioned correlated macroeconomic variables included in the forecasted scenarios.
The allowance for credit losses on loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are estimated on an individual basis. Individual evaluations are typically performed for nonaccrual loans and certain accruing loans, based on dollar thresholds. These loans receive specific reserves allocated based on the present value of the loan's expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's original effective rate, except where foreclosure or liquidation is probable or when the cash flows are predominately dependent on the value of the collateral. In these circumstances, impairment is measured based upon the fair value less cost to sell of the collateral.
The Company adjusts the loss estimates described above when it is determined that expected credit losses may not have been captured in the loss estimates. To adjust the loss estimates, the Company considers qualitative factors such as changes in risk profile/composition; current economic and business conditions and uncertainty of outlook, potentially including alternative economic scenarios; limitations in the data or models used in the collective estimation; credit risk management practices; and other external/environmental factors.
In order to estimate an allowance for credit losses on letters of credit and unfunded commitments, the Company uses a process consistent with that used in developing the allowance for loan losses. The Company estimates future fundings of current, noncancellable, unfunded commitments based on historical funding experience of these commitments before default and adjusted based on historical cancellations. Allowance for loan loss factors, which are based on product and loan grade, and are consistent with the factors used for loans, are applied to these funding estimates and discounted to the present value to arrive at the reserve balance. The allowance for credit losses on letters of credit and unfunded commitments is recognized in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes recognized within noninterest expense in the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 8, Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees for additional information.

The Company monitors the credit quality of its commercial portfolio using an internal dual risk rating, which considers both the obligor and the facility. The obligor risk ratings are defined by ranges of default probabilities of the borrowers, through internally assigned letter grades (AAA through D2) and the facility risk ratings are defined by ranges of the loss given default. The combination of those two approaches results in the assessment of the likelihood of loss and it is mapped to the regulatory classifications. The Company assigns internal risk ratings at loan origination and at regular intervals subsequent to origination. Loan review intervals are dependent on the size and risk grade of the loan, and are generally conducted at least annually. Additional reviews are conducted when information affecting the loan’s risk grade becomes available. The general characteristics of the risk grades are as follows:
The Company’s internally assigned letter grades “AAA” through “B-” correspond to the regulatory classification “Pass.” These loans do not have any identified potential or well-defined weaknesses and have a high likelihood of orderly repayment. Exceptions exist when either the facility is fully secured by a CD and held at the Company or the facility is secured by properly margined and controlled marketable securities.
Internally assigned letter grades “CCC+” through “CCC” correspond to the regulatory classification “Special Mention.” Loans within this classification have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Internally assigned letter grades “CCC-” through “D1” correspond to the regulatory classification “Substandard.” A loan classified as substandard is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well-defined

25


weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the loan. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
The internally assigned letter grade “D2” corresponds to the regulatory classification “Doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable or improbable.
The Company considers payment history as the best indicator of credit quality for the consumer portfolio. Nonperforming loans in the tables below include loans classified as nonaccrual, loans 90 days or more past due and loans modified in a TDR 90 days or more past due.

26


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

It is the Company’s policy to classify TDRs that are not accruing interest as nonaccrual loans. It is also the Company’s policy to classify TDR past due loans that are accruing interest as TDRs and not according to their past due status. The tables above reflect this policy.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in March 2020, the Company began providing financial hardship relief in the form of payment deferrals and forbearances to consumer and commercial customers across a wide array of lending products, as well as the suspension of vehicle repossessions and home foreclosures. The payment deferrals and forbearances generally cover periods of three to six months. In most cases as allowed under the CARES Act, these offers are not classified as TDRs and do not result in loans being placed on nonaccrual status. For loans that receive a payment deferral or forbearance under these hardship relief programs, the Company continues to accrue interest and recognize interest income during the period of the deferral. Depending on the terms of each program, all or a portion of this accrued interest may be paid directly by the borrower (either during the relief period, at the end of the relief period or at maturity of the loan). For certain programs, the maturity date of the loan may also be extended by the

29


number of payments deferred. Interest income will continue to be recognized at the original contractual interest rate unless that rate is concurrently modified upon entering the relief program (in which case, the modified rate would be used to recognize interest). At June 30, 2020, the Company had granted loan deferrals on approximately 63 thousand loans with an amortized cost of $7.2 billion. Deferred principal and interest balances at June 30, 2020 were $129.7 million and $77.1 million, respectively.
Modifications to borrowers' loan agreements are considered TDRs if a concession is granted for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties that otherwise would not be considered. Within each of the Company’s loan classes, TDRs typically involve modification of the loan interest rate to a below market rate or an extension or deferment of the loan. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, $4.3 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $25.5 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications to the loan’s structure. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, $4.8 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $17.0 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications to the loan’s structure. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, $9.5 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $69.1 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications to the loan’s structure. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, $9.5 million of TDR modifications included an interest rate concession and $32.8 million of TDR modifications resulted from modifications to the loan’s structure.
The following tables present an analysis of the types of loans that were restructured and classified as TDRs, excluding loans classified as held for sale.

The impact to the allowance for loan losses related to modifications classified as TDRs was approximately $(108) thousand and $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. The impact to the

30


allowance for loan losses related to modifications classified as TDRs were $5.2 million and $11.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.
The Company considers TDRs aged 90 days or more past due, charged off or classified as nonaccrual subsequent to modification, where the loan was not classified as a nonperforming loan at the time of modification, as subsequently defaulted.
The following tables provide a summary of initial subsequent defaults that occurred within one year of the restructure date. The tables exclude loans classified as held for sale as of period-end and includes loans no longer in default as of period-end.

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

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

Goodwill is allocated to each of the Company's segments (each a reporting unit: Commercial Banking and Wealth, Retail Banking, and Corporate and Investment Banking).
At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the goodwill, net of accumulated impairment losses, attributable to each of the Company’s three identified reporting units is as follows:

Through June 30, 2020, the Company had recognized accumulated goodwill impairment losses of $3.2 billion, $2.7 billion, and $883 million within the Commercial Banking and Wealth, Retail Banking, and Corporate and Investment Banking reporting units, respectively. In addition, the Company has previously recognized $784 million of accumulated goodwill impairment losses from reporting units that no longer have a goodwill balance.
In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the Company performs annual tests to identify potential impairment of goodwill. The tests are required to be performed annually and more frequently if events or circumstances indicate a potential impairment may exist. The Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a blend of both income and market approaches.
The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 31, 2019. Additionally, on a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates whether a triggering event has occurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company performed an interim impairment test due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the economic environment. The interim impairment test indicated a goodwill impairment of $164 million within the Corporate and Investment Banking reporting unit, $729 million within the Commercial Banking and Wealth reporting unit, and $1.3 billion within the Retail Banking reporting unit resulting in the Company recording a goodwill impairment charge of $2.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The primary causes of the goodwill impairment were economic and industry conditions, volatility in the market capitalization of U.S. banks, and management's downward revisions

34


to financial projections that resulted in the fair value of the reporting units being less than the carrying value of the reporting units.
At June 30, 2020, the Company assessed events and circumstances as it related to the continued impact of COVID-19 on the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2020, including: recent operating performance compared to revised financial projections, market conditions, regulatory actions and assessment, change in the business climate, company-specific factors, and trends in the banking industry. After assessing the indicators noted above, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit had declined below their carrying value as of June 30, 2020. Therefore, the Company determined that a test of goodwill impairment was not required for each of the reporting units for the June 30, 2020 interim period. The Company will continue to monitor for indicators of impairment throughout 2020 as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

(6) Derivatives and Hedging
The Company is a party to derivative instruments in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company has made an accounting policy decision not to offset derivative fair value amounts under master netting agreements. See Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for additional information on the Company's accounting policies related to derivative instruments and hedging activities. For derivatives cleared through central clearing houses the variation margin payments made are legally characterized as settlements of the derivatives. As a result, these variation margin payments are netted against the fair value of the respective derivative contracts in the balance sheet and related disclosures and there is no fair value presented for these contracts. The following table reflects the notional amount and fair value of derivative instruments included on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis.

Hedging Derivatives
The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the risk of earnings fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility. For those financial instruments that qualify and are designated as a hedging relationship, either a fair value hedge or cash flow hedge, the effect of interest rate movements on the hedged assets or liabilities will generally be offset by change in fair value of the derivative instrument.
Fair Value Hedges
The Company enters into fair value hedging relationships using interest rate swaps to mitigate the Company’s exposure to losses in value as interest rates change. Derivative instruments that are used as part of the Company’s interest rate risk management strategy include interest rate swaps that relate to the pricing of specific balance sheet assets and liabilities.
Interest rate swaps are used to convert the Company’s fixed rate long-term debt to a variable rate. The critical terms of the interest rate swaps match the terms of the corresponding hedged items. All components of each derivative instrument’s gain or loss are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
The Company recognized no gains or losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, related to hedged firm commitments no longer qualifying as a fair value hedge. At June 30, 2020, the fair value hedges had a weighted average expected remaining term of 3.0 years.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company enters into cash flow hedging relationships using interest rate swaps and options, such as caps and floors, to mitigate exposure to the variability in future cash flows or other forecasted transactions associated with its floating rate assets and liabilities. The Company uses interest rate swaps and options to hedge the repricing characteristics of its floating rate commercial loans and FHLB advances. The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates due to a portion of money transfer expense being denominated in foreign currency. All components of each derivative instrument’s gain or loss are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. The initial assessment of expected hedge effectiveness is based on regression analysis. The ongoing periodic measures of hedge ineffectiveness are based on the expected change in cash flows of the hedged item caused by changes in the benchmark interest rate. There were no gains or losses reclassified from other comprehensive income because of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges related to certain forecasted transactions that are probable of not occurring for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
At June 30, 2020, cash flow hedges not terminated had a net fair value of $(4) million and a weighted average life of 2.7 years. Net gains of $172.1 million are expected to be reclassified to income over the next 12 months as net settlements occur. The maximum length of time over which the entity is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 3.9 years.

Derivatives Not Designated As Hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges include those that are entered into as either economic hedges to facilitate client needs or as part of the Company’s overall risk management strategy. Economic hedges are those that do not qualify to be treated as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or foreign currency hedge for accounting purposes, but are necessary to economically manage the risk exposure associated with the assets and liabilities of the Company. The Company holds a portfolio of futures, forwards and interest rate lock commitments as well as options related to its equity-linked CDs to mitigate its economic risk exposure. The Company also enters into a variety of interest rate contracts and foreign exchange contracts in its trading activities. See Note 13, Derivatives and Hedging, in the Notes to the December 31, 2019, Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company's derivatives not designated as hedges.
The net gains and losses recorded in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income from free-standing derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are summarized in the following table.

Derivatives Credit and Market Risks
By using derivative instruments, the Company is exposed to credit and market risk. If the counterparty fails to perform, credit risk is equal to the extent of the Company’s fair value gain in a derivative. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is positive, this generally indicates that the counterparty owes the Company and, therefore, creates a credit risk for the Company. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is negative, the Company owes the counterparty and, therefore, it has no credit risk. The Company minimizes the credit risk in derivative

40


instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties that are reviewed periodically. Credit losses are also mitigated through collateral agreements and other contract provisions with derivative counterparties.
Market risk is the adverse effect that a change in interest rates or implied volatility rates has on the value of a financial instrument. The Company manages the market risk associated with interest rate contracts by establishing and monitoring limits as to the types and degree of risk that may be undertaken.
The Company’s derivatives activities are monitored by its Asset/Liability Committee as part of its risk-management oversight. The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee is responsible for mandating various hedging strategies that are developed through its analysis of data from financial simulation models and other internal and industry sources. The resulting hedging strategies are then incorporated into the Company’s overall interest rate risk management and trading strategies.
Entering into interest rate swap agreements and options involves not only the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet the terms of the contracts but also interest rate risk associated with unmatched positions. At June 30, 2020, interest rate swap agreements and options classified as trading were substantially matched. The Company had credit risk of $840 million related to derivative instruments in the trading account portfolio, which does not take into consideration master netting arrangements or the value of the collateral. There were no credit losses associated with derivative instruments classified as trading for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no material nonperforming derivative positions classified as trading.
The Company’s derivative positions designated as hedging instruments are primarily executed in the over-the-counter market. These positions at June 30, 2020, have credit risk of $13 million, which does not take into consideration master netting arrangements or the value of the collateral.
There were no credit losses associated with derivative instruments classified as nontrading for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no nonperforming derivative positions classified as nontrading.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded the right to reclaim cash collateral of $242 million and $150 million, respectively, within other assets on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and had recorded the obligation to return cash collateral of $19 million and $12 million, respectively, within deposits on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contingent Features
Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require the Company’s debt maintain a certain credit rating from each of the major credit rating agencies. If the Company’s debt were to fall below this rating, it would be in violation of these provisions, and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could demand immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on June 30, 2020, was $87 million for which the Company has collateral requirements of $85 million in the normal course of business. If the credit risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had been triggered on June 30, 2020, the Company’s collateral requirements to its counterparties would increase by $2 million. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on December 31, 2019, was $47 million for which the Company had collateral requirements of $45 million in the normal course of business. If the credit risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had been triggered on December 31, 2019, the Company’s collateral requirements to its counterparties would have increased by $2 million.
Netting of Derivative Instruments
The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparties for some of its derivative and hedging activities. The Company does not offset assets and liabilities under these master netting arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. The master netting arrangements provide for single net settlement of all derivative instrument arrangements, as well as collateral, in the event of default with respect to, or termination of, any one contract with the respective counterparties. Cash collateral is usually posted by the counterparty with a net liability position in accordance with contract thresholds.

(7) Securities Financing Activities
Netting of Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
The Company has various financial assets and liabilities that are subject to enforceable master netting agreements or similar agreements. The Company's derivatives that are subject to enforceable master netting agreements or similar transactions are discussed in Note 6, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company enters into agreements under which it purchases or sells securities subject to an obligation to resell or repurchase the same or similar securities. Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are generally accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and recorded at the amounts at which the securities were purchased or sold plus accrued interest. The securities pledged as collateral are generally U.S. Treasury securities and other U.S. government agency securities and mortgage-backed securities.
Securities purchased under agreements to resell and securities sold under agreements to repurchase are governed by a MRA. Under the terms of the MRA, all transactions between the Company and the counterparty constitute a single business relationship such that in the event of default, the nondefaulting party is entitled to set off claims and apply property held by that party in respect of any transaction against obligations owed. Any payments, deliveries, or other transfers may be applied against each other and netted. These amounts are limited to the contract asset/liability balance, and accordingly, do not include excess collateral received or pledged. The Company offsets the assets and liabilities

In the event of a significant decline in fair value of the collateral pledged for the securities sold under agreements to repurchase, the Company would be required to provide additional collateral. The Company minimizes the risk by monitoring the liquidity and credit quality of the collateral, as well as the maturity profile of the transactions.
At June 30, 2020, the fair value of collateral received related to securities purchased under agreements to resell was $4.2 billion and the fair value of collateral pledged for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $4.6 billion. At December 31, 2019, the fair value of collateral received related to securities purchased under agreements to resell

43


was $648 million and the fair value of collateral pledged for securities sold under agreements to repurchase was $644 million.
(8) Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
Commitments to Extend Credit & Standby and Commercial Letters of Credit

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Standby and commercial letters of credit are commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions, and expire in decreasing amounts with terms ranging from one to four years.
The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit and commitments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The fair value of the letters of credit and commitments typically approximates the fee received from the customer for issuing such commitments. These fees are deferred and are recognized over the commitment period. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the recorded amount of these deferred fees was $9 million and $7 million, respectively. The Company holds various assets as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. At June 30, 2020, the maximum potential amount of future undiscounted payments the Company could be required to make under outstanding standby letters of credit was $1.0 billion. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had allowance for credit losses related to letters of credit and unfunded commitments recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of $137 million and $67 million, respectively. See Note 1, Basis of Presentation, for discussion of the impact of the adoption of ASC 326 on the allowance for credit losses related to letters of credit and unfunded commitments.
Loan Sale Recourse
The Company has potential recourse related to specific FNMA securitizations. At both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the amount of potential recourse was $18 million of which the Company had reserved $693 thousand which is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the respective periods.
The Company also issues standard representations and warranties related to mortgage loan sales to government-sponsored agencies. Although these agreements often do not specify limitations, the Company does not believe that any payments related to these representations and warranties would materially change the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $2.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of reserves in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to potential losses from loans sold.
Legal and Regulatory Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, including claims, litigation, investigations and administrative proceedings, all of which are considered incidental to the normal conduct of business. The Company believes it has substantial defenses to the claims asserted against it in its currently outstanding legal

44


proceedings and, with respect to such legal proceedings, intends to defend itself vigorously. Set forth below are descriptions of certain of the Company’s legal proceedings.

In January 2014, the Bank was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas, David Bagwell, individually and as Trustee of the David S. Bagwell Trust, et al. v. BBVA USA, et al., wherein the plaintiffs (who are the borrowers and guarantors of the underlying loans) allege that BBVA USA wrongfully sold their loans to a third party after representing that it would not do so. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary relief. Following trial in December 2017, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs totaling $98 million. On June 27, 2018, the court entered a judgment in favor of the plaintiffs in the amount of $96 million, which includes prejudgment interest. The Bank has appealed and will vigorously contest the judgment on appeal. The Company believes there are substantial defenses to these claims and intends to defend them vigorously.

In October 2016, BSI was named as a defendant in a putative class action lawsuit filed in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, St. Lucie County Fire District Firefighters' Pension Trust, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Southwestern Energy Company, et al., wherein the plaintiffs allege that Southwestern Energy Company, its officers and directors, and the underwriting defendants (including BSI) made inaccurate and misleading statements in the registration statement and prospectus related to a securities offering. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary relief. The Company believes there are substantial defenses to these claims and intends to defend them vigorously.

The Company and the Bank have been named in two proceedings involving David L. Powell: one that was filed in January 2017 with the Federal Conciliation and Arbitration Labor Board of Mexico City, Mexico, David Lannon Powell Finneran v. BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc., et al., and one that was filed in April 2018 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, David L. Powell, et al. v. BBVA USA. Powell alleges discrimination and wrongful termination in both proceedings, and seeks unspecified monetary relief. The Company believes there are substantial defenses to these claims and intends to defend them vigorously.

In March 2019, the Company and its subsidiary, Simple Finance Technology Corp., were named as defendants in a putative class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Amitahbo Chattopadhyay v. BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc., et al. Plaintiff claims that Simple and the Company only permit United States citizens to open Simple accounts (which are exclusively originated through online channels). Plaintiff has recently amended the complaint and now also takes issue with BBVA USA’s practice of directing non-citizen applicants to complete the online account origination processes in a physical branch location. Plaintiff alleges that these practices constitute alienage discrimination and violations of California's Unruh Act. The Company believes that there are substantial defenses to these claims and intends to defend them vigorously.

In July 2019, the Company was named as a defendant in a putative class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, Ferguson v. BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc., wherein the plaintiffs allege certain investment options within the Company’s employee retirement plan violate provisions of ERISA. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary relief. The Company believes there are substantial defenses to these claims and intends to defend them vigorously.
In April 2020, the Bank was named in a putative class action lawsuit filed in the District Court of Bexar County, Texas styled Zamora-Orduna Realty Group LLC v. BBVA USA, wherein plaintiffs allege the Bank tortiously failed to process certain loan requests submitted in connection with the federal Paycheck Protection Program.  The plaintiffs seek an amount not less than $10 million along with other demands for unspecified monetary relief. The Company believes there are substantial defenses to these claims and intends to defend them vigorously.

In April 2020, BBVA USA was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division originally styled Estech Systems, Inc. v. BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc., alleging that BBVA USA has violated intellectual property rights owned by the plaintiff in connection with various patents regarding voice-over-internet protocols (VoIP). The plaintiff alleges that BBVA USA’s use of certain phone systems and technologies violate its claimed patent rights. The plaintiff seeks unspecified monetary relief. The Company believes there are substantial defenses to these claims and intends to defend them vigorously.

In June 2020, BBVA USA was named as a defendant in a putative class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California styled Sarah Hill v. BBVA USA, challenging BBVA USA’s assessment of certain overdraft fees. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary relief. The Company believes there are substantial defenses to these claims and intends to defend them vigorously.

The Company is or may become involved from time to time in information-gathering requests, reviews, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal) by various governmental regulatory agencies, law enforcement authorities and self-regulatory bodies regarding the Company’s business. Such matters may result in material adverse consequences, including without limitation adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, orders, injunctions, alterations in the Company’s business practices or other actions, and could result in additional expenses and collateral costs, including reputational damage, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where it is probable that the Company will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company records a liability in its consolidated financial statements. These legal reserves may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of a probable loss is not reasonably estimable, the Company does not accrue legal reserves. At June 30, 2020, the Company had accrued legal reserves in the amount of $24 million. Additionally, for those matters where a loss is reasonably possible and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable, the Company estimates the amount of losses that it could incur beyond the accrued legal reserves. Under U.S. GAAP, an event is “reasonably possible” if “the chance of the future event or events occurring is more than remote but less than likely” and an event is “remote" if “the chance of the future event or events occurring is slight.” For a limited number of legal matters in which the Company is involved, the Company is able to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses in excess of related reserves, if any. Management currently estimates these losses to range from $0 to approximately $76 million. This estimated range of reasonably possible losses is based on information available at June 30, 2020. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and the actual results may vary significantly from this estimate. Those matters for which an estimate is not possible are not included within this estimated range; therefore, this estimated range does not represent the Company’s maximum loss exposure.
While the outcome of legal proceedings and the timing of the ultimate resolution are inherently difficult to predict, based on information currently available, advice of counsel and available insurance coverage, the Company believes that it has established adequate legal reserves. Further, based upon available information, the Company is of the opinion that these legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. However, in the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of those matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the Company’s results of operations for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the size of the loss or liability imposed and the operating results for the applicable period.
Income Tax Review
The Company is subject to review and examination from various tax authorities. The Company is currently under examination by a number of states, and has received notices of proposed adjustments related to state income taxes due for prior years. Management believes that adequate provisions for income taxes have been recorded.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Periodically, certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment. The following tables represent those assets that were subject to fair value adjustments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and still held as of the end of the period, and the related gains and losses from fair value adjustments on assets sold during the period as well as assets still held as of the end of the period.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs
Interest Rate Contracts - Interest Rate Lock Commitments
Significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation of interest rate contracts are pull-through and cap grids. Increases or decreases in the pull-through or cap grids will have a corresponding impact in the value of interest rate contracts.
Other Assets - MSRs
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of MSRs are option-adjusted spreads, constant prepayment rate or life speed, and cost to service assumptions. The impact of prepayments and changes in the option-adjusted spread are based on a variety of underlying inputs. Increases or decreases to the underlying cash flow inputs will have a corresponding impact on the value of the MSR asset. The impact of the costs to service assumption will have a directionally opposite change in the fair value of the MSR asset.
Other Assets - SBIC Investments
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of SBIC Investments are initially based upon transaction price. Increases or decreases in valuation factors such as recent or proposed purchase or sale of debt or equity of the issuer, pricing by other dealers in similar securities, size of position held, liquidity of the market will have a corresponding impact in the value of SBIC investments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values, as well as the level within the fair value hierarchy, of the Company’s financial instruments, excluding financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis, are as follows:

Fair Value Option
The Company has elected to apply the fair value option for single family real estate mortgage loans originated for resale in the secondary market. The election allows for a more effective offset of the changes in fair values of the loans and the derivative instruments used to economically hedge them without the burden of complying with the requirements for hedge accounting. The Company has not elected the fair value option for other loans held for sale primarily because they are not economically hedged using derivative instruments.
At both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no loans held for sale for which the fair value option was elected were 90 days or more past due or were in nonaccrual. Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is recognized based on contractual rates and is reflected in interest and fees on loans in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Net gains (losses) of $6.2 million and $423 thousand resulting from changes in fair value of these loans were recorded in noninterest income during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net gains (losses) of $8.8 million and $668 thousand resulting from changes in fair value of these loans were recorded in noninterest income during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The Company also had fair value changes on forward contracts related to residential mortgage loans held for sale of approximately $2.8 million and $40 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $(3.1) million and $(49) thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. An immaterial portion of these amounts was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk.
The following table summarizes the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance for residential mortgage loans measured at fair value.

The Company’s operating segments are based on the Company’s organizational structure. Each segment reflects the manner in which financial information is evaluated by management. The operating segment results include certain overhead allocations and intercompany transactions. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated to determine the consolidated balances. The Company operates primarily in the United States, and, accordingly, revenue and assets outside the United States are not material. There are no individual customers whose attributable revenues exceed 10% of consolidated revenue.
The following tables present the segment information for the Company’s existing segments.

The financial information presented was derived from the internal profitability reporting system used by management to monitor and manage the financial performance of the Company. This information is based on internal management accounting policies that have been developed to reflect the underlying economics of the businesses. These policies address the methodologies applied and include policies related to funds transfer pricing, cost allocations and capital allocations.
Funds transfer pricing was used in the determination of net interest income earned primarily on loans and deposits. The method employed for funds transfer pricing is a matched funding concept whereby lines of business which are fund providers are credited and those that are fund users are charged based on maturity, prepayment and/or repricing characteristics applied on an instrument level. Provision for loan losses is allocated to each segment based on internal management accounting policies for the allowance for loan losses and the related provision which differs from the policies for consolidated purposes. The difference between the consolidated provision for credit losses and the segments' provision for credit losses is reflected in Corporate Support and Other and reflects a current year revision in policy. Costs for centrally managed operations are generally allocated to the lines of business based on the utilization of services provided or other appropriate indicators. Revenue is recorded in the business segment responsible for the related product or service. Fee sharing is recorded to allocate portions of such revenue to other business segments involved in selling to, or providing services to, customers. Results of operations for the business segments reflect these fee sharing allocations. Capital is allocated to the lines of business based upon the underlying risks in each business considering economic and regulatory capital standards.
The development and application of these methodologies is a dynamic process. Accordingly, prior period financial results have been revised to reflect management accounting enhancements and changes in the Company's organizational structure. The 2019 segment information has been revised to conform to the 2020 presentation. In addition, unlike financial accounting, there is no authoritative literature for management accounting similar to U.S. GAAP. Consequently, reported results are not necessarily comparable with those presented by other financial institutions.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying these principles conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with general practices within the banking industry. The Company’s critical accounting policies relate to the allowance for loan losses and goodwill impairment. These critical accounting policies require the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments which are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, as this information changes, future financial statements could reflect the use of different estimates, assumptions and judgments. Certain determinations inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. The Company’s significant accounting policies and changes in accounting principles and effects of new accounting pronouncements are discussed in detail in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Additional disclosures regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included herein.
Executive Overview
Financial Performance
Consolidated net (loss) income attributable to the Company for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $(124.9) million compared to $159.6 million earned during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The Company’s results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020, reflected lower net interest income, higher provision for credit losses, lower noninterest expense offset by lower noninterest income and higher income tax benefit.
Net interest income totaled $612.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $659.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was impacted by the decrease in the Federal Reserve Board benchmark interest rates during the second half of 2019 and in March of 2020. The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 2.66%, compared to 3.24% for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $539.5 million of provision for credit losses compared to $155.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, provision for credit losses was comprised of $526.3 million of provision for loan losses and $13.1 million of provision for HTM security losses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $526.3 million of provision for loan losses compared to $155.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 reflected an increase in expected losses over the life of the portfolio. The primary drivers of this increase was the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic conditions which impacted the Company's economic forecast for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2020 totaled $123.1 million compared to $143.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, was primarily driven by a $16.9 million decrease in commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs and a $14.9 million decrease in consumer direct net charge-offs offset by an $8.6 million increase in commercial real estate-mortgage net charge-offs and a $3.7 million increase in credit card net charge-offs.
Noninterest income decreased to $272.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $284.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The primary drivers of the decrease was a $17.5 million decrease in service charges on deposit accounts, a $6.9 million decrease in card and merchant processing fees, a $6.4 million decrease in investment services sales fees, and a $40.3 million decrease in other noninterest income due to a $32.9 million decrease in valuation adjustments on SBIC investments offset by a $24.3 million increase in investment banking and advisory fees, a $13.2 million increase in corporate and correspondent investment sales, an $18.0 million increase in mortgage banking income, and a $3.5 million increase in investment securities gains.

63


Noninterest expense decreased $18.9 million to $579.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $598.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was driven by a $44.6 million decrease in salaries, benefits and commissions offset by a $17.2 million increase in other noninterest expense primarily attributable to an increase in provision for unfunded commitments.
Income tax (benefit) expense was $(110.1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $30.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This resulted in an effective tax rate of 46.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 16.0% for three months ended June 30, 2019. The tax rate was primarily impacted by the Company's revision of estimated loss before taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
The Company's total assets at June 30, 2020 were $102.3 billion, an increase of $8.7 billion from December 31, 2019 levels. Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, were $68.2 billion at June 30, 2020, an increase of $4.3 billion or 6.7% from year-end December 31, 2019 levels. The increase was primarily driven by $3.1 billion of SBA PPP loans that the Company has facilitated to assist its commercial customers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Deposits increased $10.4 billion or 13.9% compared to December 31, 2019.
Total shareholder's equity at June 30, 2020 was $11.3 billion, a decrease of $2.1 billion compared to December 31, 2019.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused and continues to cause significant, unprecedented disruption around the world that has affected daily living and negatively impacted the global economy. The pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses and the institution of social distancing and shelter in place requirements in many states and communities, which has increased unemployment levels and caused extreme volatility in the financial markets. As further discussed in “Analysis of Results of Operations,” during the current quarter, the Company observed the impact of the pandemic on its business. The reduction in interest rates, economic forecast uncertainty that negatively impacted the provision for credit losses had the most immediate, negative impacts on the Company’s current quarter performance. Though the Company is unable to estimate the extent of the impact, the continuing pandemic and related global economic crisis will adversely impact the Company’s future operating results.
COVID-19 Pandemic Government Responses and Regulatory Developments
Government Response to COVID-19
Congress, the Federal Reserve Board and the other U.S. state and federal financial regulatory agencies have taken actions to mitigate disruptions to economic activity and financial stability resulting from COVID-19. The descriptions below summarize certain significant government actions taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the particular statutory or regulatory provisions or government programs summarized.
The CARES Act
The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and has subsequently been amended several times. Among other provisions, the CARES Act includes funding for the Small Business Administration to expand lending, relief from certain U.S. GAAP requirements to allow COVID-19-related loan modifications to not be categorized as troubled debt restructurings and a range of incentives to encourage deferment, forbearance or modification of consumer credit and mortgage contracts. One of the key CARES Act programs is the Paycheck Protection Program, which temporarily expands the Small Business Administration’s business loan guarantee program through August 8, 2020. Paycheck Protection Program loans are available to a broader range of entities than ordinary Small Business Administration loans, require six-month deferral of principal and interest repayment, and the loan may be forgiven in an amount equal to payroll costs and certain other expenses during either an eight-week or twenty four-week covered period.
The CARES Act contains additional protections for homeowners and renters of properties with federally backed mortgages, including a 60-day moratorium on the initiation of foreclosure proceedings beginning on March 18, 2020 and a 120-day moratorium on initiating eviction proceedings effective March 27, 2020. Borrowers of federally backed mortgages have the right under the CARES Act to request up to 360 days of forbearance on their mortgage payments if they experience financial hardship directly or indirectly due to the coronavirus-related public health emergency. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have independently extended their moratorium on foreclosures and evictions for single family federally backed mortgages until at least August 31, 2020.

64


Also pursuant to the CARES Act, the U.S. Treasury has the authority to provide loans, guarantees and other investments in support of eligible businesses, states and municipalities affected by the economic effects of COVID-19 pandemic. Some of these funds have been used to support the several Federal Reserve Board programs and facilities described below or additional programs or facilities that are established by the Federal Reserve Board under its Section 13(3) authority and meeting certain criteria.
Federal Reserve Board Actions
The Federal Reserve Board has taken a range of actions to support the flow of credit to households and businesses. For example, on March 15, 2020, the Federal Reserve Board reduced the target range for the federal funds rate to 0 to 0.25% and announced that it would increase its holdings of U.S. Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities and begin purchasing agency commercial mortgage-backed securities. The Federal Reserve Board has also encouraged depository institutions to borrow from the discount window and has lowered the primary credit rate for such borrowing by 150 basis points while extending the term of such loans up to 90 days. Reserve requirements have been reduced to zero as of March 26, 2020.
In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established, or has taken steps to establish, a range of facilities and programs to support the U.S. economy and U.S. marketplace participants in response to economic disruptions associated with COVID-19 pandemic. Through these facilities and programs, the Federal Reserve Board, relying on its authority under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, has taken steps to directly or indirectly purchase assets from, or make loans to, U.S. companies, financial institutions, municipalities and other market participants.
Federal Reserve Board facilities and programs established, or in the process of being established, include:
a Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility to provide financing to related to Paycheck Protection Program loans made by banks;
three Main Street Loan Facilities to purchase loan participations, under specified conditions, from banks lending to small and medium U.S. businesses;
a Primary Dealer Credit Facility to provide liquidity to primary dealers through a secured lending facility;
a Commercial Paper Funding Facility to purchase the commercial paper of certain U.S. issuers;
a Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility to purchase corporate bonds directly from, or make loans directly, to eligible participants;
a Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility to purchase corporate bonds trading in secondary markets, including from exchange-traded funds, that were issued by eligible participants;
a Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility to make loans secured by asset-backed securities;
a Municipal Liquidity Facility to purchased bonds directly from U.S. state, city and county issuers; and
a Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility to purchase certain assets from, or make loans to, financial institutions providing financing to eligible money market mutual funds.
These facilities and programs are in various stages of development, and the Company and the Bank are participating in some of these facilities and programs and may participate in others, including as an agent or intermediary on behalf of clients or customers or in an advisory capacity.
Regulatory Considerations
Revisions to Definition of Eligible Retained Income
The U.S. banking agencies have adopted an interim final rule altering the definition of eligible retained income in their respective capital rules. Under the new rule, eligible retained income is the greater of a firm’s (i) net income for the four preceding calendar quarters, net of any distributions and associated tax effects not already reflected in net income, and (ii) average net income over the preceding four quarters. This definition applies with respect to all of the Company’s capital requirements. The interim final rule became effective March 20, 2020.

65


Regulatory Effects of the CARES Act
In addition to authorizing several programs to provide loans, guarantees and other investments in support of eligible organizations, states and municipalities affected by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the CARES Act also includes several measures that temporarily adjust existing laws or regulations. These include providing the FDIC with additional authority to guarantee the deposits of solvent insured depository institutions held in noninterest-bearing business transaction accounts to a maximum amount specified by the FDIC, reinstating the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Authority to guarantee debt obligations of solvent insured depository institutions or depository institution holding companies and temporarily allowing the Treasury to fully guarantee money market mutual funds. The CARES Act also provides financial institutions with the option to suspend GAAP requirements for coronavirus-related loan modifications that would otherwise constitute troubled debt restructurings and further requires the federal banking agencies to defer to financial institutions’ determinations in making such suspensions.
Volcker Rule
In June 2020, the five regulatory agencies charged with implementing the Volcker Rule finalized amendments to the Volcker Rule’ restrictions on ownership interests in and relationships with covered funds. Among other things, these amendments permit banking entities to have relationships with and offer additional financial services to additional types of funds and investment vehicles. These requirements are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Capital
Under the Basel III final rule, the Company's Tier1 and CET1 ratios were 12.51% and 12.18%, respectively, at June 30, 2020 compared to 12.83% and 12.49%, respectively, at December 31, 2019.
The Company has elected the ‘five-year transition’ for the ASC 326 accounting standard from the banking agencies’ interim final rule announced on March 27, 2020. This five-year transition election allows banking organizations to defer certain effects of the ASC 326 accounting standard on their regulatory capital. Specifically, this interim final rule allows for 25% of the cumulative increase in the allowance for credit losses since the adoption of ASC 326 and 100% of the day-one impact of ASC 326 adoption to be deferred for a two-year period. This two-year period will be followed by a three-year transition period to phase-in the impact of the deferred amounts on regulatory capital.
Liquidity
The Company’s sources of liquidity include customers’ interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit accounts, loan principal and interest payments, investment securities, short-term investments and borrowings. As a holding company, the Parent’s primary source of liquidity is dividends from the Bank. Due to the net earnings restrictions on dividend distributions under Alabama law, the Bank must obtain regulatory approval prior to paying any dividends.
Any dividends paid by the Parent must be set forth as capital actions in the Company's capital plan and must be made in accordance with the relevant banking law and Federal Reserve Board regulations and policy. The Company has paid no common dividends to BBVA during 2020.
At June 30, 2020, the Company's LCR was 144%, which would have been fully compliant with the LCR requirements if the LCR requirements applied to the Company.
Management believes that the current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet the Company’s requirements and plans for continued growth.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

66


Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this ASU provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this ASU provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this ASU apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship.
This ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the impact of applying the elections in this ASU on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
Analysis of Results of Operations
Consolidated net (loss) income attributable to the Company totaled $(124.9) million and $159.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company’s results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020, reflected lower net interest income, higher provision for credit losses, lower noninterest expense offset by lower noninterest income and higher income tax benefit.
Consolidated net (loss) income attributable to the Company totaled $(2.4) billion and $300.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company’s results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020, reflected lower net interest income, higher provision for loan losses, higher noninterest expense, which includes $2.2 billion of goodwill impairment, offset by higher noninterest income.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income is the principal component of the Company’s income stream and represents the difference, or spread, between interest and fee income generated from earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Fluctuations in interest rates as well as changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities can impact net interest income. The following discussion of net interest income is presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis, unless otherwise noted, to facilitate performance comparisons among various taxable and tax-exempt assets.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
Net interest income totaled $612.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $659.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $623.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $49.6 million compared with $672.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net interest income was primarily the result of a decrease in interest income on loans and AFS debt securities offset by decreases in interest expense on interest bearing deposits and FHLB and other borrowings.
Net interest margin was 2.66% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 3.24% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The 58 basis point decrease in net interest margin was primarily driven by the impact of the decrease in the Federal Reserve Board benchmark interest rates during the second half of 2019 and in March of 2020.
The fully taxable equivalent yield for the three months ended June 30, 2020, on the loan portfolio was 3.95% compared to 5.01% for the same period in 2019. The 106 basis point decrease was primarily driven by the timing of the Federal Reserve Board's decrease of benchmark rates during the second half of 2019 and in March of 2020.
The fully taxable equivalent yield on the investment securities portfolio was 1.71% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2.33% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was a result of lower interest rates during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to rates during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

67


The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits was 0.66% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 1.55% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and reflects the impact of lower funding costs on interest bearing deposit offerings including savings, money market and CD products.
The average rate paid on FHLB and other borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 2.47% compared to 3.42% for the corresponding period in 2019.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
Net interest income totaled $1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis totaled $1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.4 billion the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Net interest margin was 2.73% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 3.33% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The 60 basis point decrease in net interest margin was primarily driven by the timing of the Federal Reserve Board's decrease of benchmark rates during the second half of 2019 and in March of 2020.
The fully taxable equivalent yield for the six months ended June 30, 2020, for the loan portfolio was 4.22% compared to 5.02% for the same period in 2019. The 80 basis point decrease was primarily driven by the impact of higher interest rates during the first half of 2019 as the Federal Reserve Board did not lower benchmark rates until the second half of 2019 and in March 2020.
The fully taxable equivalent yield on the investment securities portfolio was 1.44% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 2.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The 95 basis point decrease was a result of lower interest rates for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 as well as higher levels of premium amortization as actual and expected prepayments increased.
The average rate paid on interest bearing deposits was 0.93% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 1.49% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and reflects the impact of lower funding costs on interest bearing deposit offerings including savings, money market and CD products.
The average rate paid on FHLB and other borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 2.37% compared to 3.49% for the corresponding period in 2019. The 112 basis point decrease was primarily driven by the impact of lower rate FHLB advances as well as the impact of fair value hedges on other borrowings.

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses is the charge to earnings that management determines to be necessary to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a sufficient level reflecting management's estimate of expected losses over the life of the portfolio. The Company adopted ASC 326 effective January 1, 2020, and recorded a net of tax increase to accumulated deficit of $150.2 million as of January 1, 2020 for the cumulative effect of adopting ASC 326.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $539.5 million of provision for credit losses compared to $155.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, provision for credit losses was comprised of $526.3 million of provision for loan losses and $13.1 million of provision for HTM security losses.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $526.3 million of provision for loan losses compared to $155.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 reflected an increase in expected losses over the life of the portfolio. The primary drivers of this increase was the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic conditions which impacted the Company's economic forecast. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, economic conditions continued to deteriorate due to the impact of the COVID-19 health crisis. As a result, economic projections for the gross domestic product declined dramatically and unemployment levels increased significantly with information related to the evolving impacts of the COVID-19 health crisis.
The Company recorded net charge-offs of $123.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $143.4 million during the corresponding period in 2019. The decrease in net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, was primarily driven by a $16.9 million decrease in commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs and a $14.9 million decrease in consumer direct net charge-offs offset by an $8.6 million increase in commercial real estate-mortgage net charge-offs and a $3.7 million increase in credit card net charge-offs.
Net charge-offs were 0.72% of average loans for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 0.90% of average loans for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $896.5 million of provision for credit losses compared to $337.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, provision for credit losses was comprised of $883.3 million of provision for loan losses and $13.2 million of provision for HTM security losses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $883.3 million of provision for loan losses compared to $337.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in provision for loan losses reflected an increase in expected losses over the life of the portfolio. The primary drivers of this increase was the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic conditions which impacted the Company's economic forecast. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, economic conditions continued to deteriorate due to the impact of the COVID-19 health crisis. As a result, economic projections for the gross domestic product declined dramatically and unemployment levels increased significantly with information related to the evolving impacts of the COVID-19 health crisis. Additionally, provision for loan losses was impacted by the higher reserves in the energy portfolio due to the decrease in oil prices.
The Company recorded net charge-offs of $234.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $244.9 million during the corresponding period in 2019. The decrease in net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period in 2019 was driven in part by a $17.0 million decrease in consumer direct net charge-offs and a $5.4 million decrease in consumer indirect net charge-offs offset by an $8.6 million increase in commercial real estate - mortgage net charge-offs and a $7.9 million increase in credit card net charge-offs.
Net charge-offs were 0.71% of average loans for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 0.77% of average loans for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
Noninterest income was $272.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $284.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in noninterest income was primarily driven by decreases in service charges on deposit accounts, card and merchant processing fees, investment services sales fees and other noninterest income offset by increases in investment banking and advisory fees, mortgage banking income, corporate and correspondent investment sales and investment securities gains.
Service charges on deposit accounts represent the Company's largest category of noninterest revenue. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased to $44.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $61.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 driven by a general decline in consumer spending activity associated with the COVID-19 pandemic as well the bank implementing fee waivers to offer relief for those customers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Card and merchant processing fees represent income related to customers’ utilization of their debit and credit cards, as well as interchange income and merchants’ discounts. Income from card and merchant processing fees decreased to $43.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $50.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, the decrease was primarily driven by a general decline in consumer spending activity associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Investment banking and advisory fees primarily represent income from BSI. Income from investment banking and advisory fees increased to $45.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $20.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The primary driver of this increase was an increase in debt capital markets activity during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.
Investment services sales fees is comprised of mutual fund and annuity sales income and insurance sales fees. Income from investment services sales fees decreased to $25.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $31.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The primary contributors to this decrease were a $1.2 million decrease in securities transaction fees, a $2.8 million decrease in annuity sales fees, and a $2.5 million

72


decrease in life and disability insurance fees which reflected a decrease in investment service products due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mortgage banking is comprised of servicing income, guarantee fees and gains on sales of mortgage loans as well as fair value adjustments on mortgage loans held for sale, mortgage related derivatives and MSRs. Mortgage banking income increased $18.0 million for three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in mortgage banking income was primarily due to an increase of $14.9 million in fair value adjustments on mortgage loans held for sale, mortgage related derivatives and MSRs as well as $3.9 million increase in gains on sale of mortgage loans driven by increased production and sales income as lower market interest rates drove increased applications.
Corporate and correspondent investment sales represent income generated through the sales of interest rate protection contracts to corporate customers and the sale of bonds and other services to the Company's correspondent banking clients. Income from corporate and correspondent investment sales increased to $18.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The primary driver of the increase was an increase in valuation adjustments on interest rate contracts as well as an increase in sales of interest rate contracts.
Investment securities gains, net were $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. See, “—Debt Securities” for more information related to the debt securities sales.
Other income is comprised of income recognized that does not typically fit into one of the other noninterest income categories and includes various fees associated with letters of credit, syndications, ATMS and foreign exchange. Other noninterest income decreased to $26.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $66.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, was primarily due to a $32.9 million decrease in fair value adjustments on the SBIC investments.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
Noninterest income was $606.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $542.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in noninterest income was primarily driven by increases in investment banking and advisory fees, mortgage banking, corporate and correspondent investment sales and investment securities gains partially offset by decreases in service charges on deposit accounts and other noninterest income.
Service charges on deposit accounts decreased to $105.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $120.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 driven by a general decline in consumer spending activity associated with the COVID-19 pandemic as well the bank implementing fee waivers to offer relief for those customers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Income from investment banking and advisory fees increased to $71.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $39.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was driven primarily by an increase in underwriting activity during the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.
Income from corporate and correspondent investment sales increased to $29.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily driven by an increase in customer interest rate income due to an increase in interest rate contract sales as well as valuation adjustments on interest rate contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.
Mortgage banking for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $41.3 million, an increase of $30.5 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in mortgage banking income was driven by an increase of $20.9 million in fair value adjustments on mortgage loans held for sale, mortgage related derivatives and MSRs as well as $7.0 million increase in gains on sale of mortgage loans driven by increased production and sales income as lower market interest rates drove increased applications.
Investment securities gains, net were $22.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. See, “—Debt Securities” for more information related to the debt securities sales.

73


Other noninterest income decreased to $99.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $115.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, due in part to a $10.6 million decrease in syndication fees and a $3.0 million decrease in service and referral income with BBVA and its affiliates offset by an $8.8 million increase in the value of the SBIC investments.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
Noninterest expense was $579.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a slight decrease of $18.9 million compared to $598.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily driven by decreases in salaries, benefits and commissions, partially offset by an increase in other noninterest expense.
Salaries, benefits and commissions expense is comprised of salaries and wages in addition to other employee benefit costs and represents the largest components of noninterest expense. Salaries, benefits and commissions expense decreased to $251.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $296.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, related to lower incentives.
Other noninterest expense includes FDIC insurance, marketing, communications, postage, supplies, subscriptions, provision for unfunded commitments and gains and losses on the sales and write-downs of OREO. Other noninterest expense increased $17.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, to $125.4 million compared to $108.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 primarily attributable to a $37.5 million increase in provision for unfunded commitments which was partially offset by decreases of $7.6 million in marketing expenses, $5.1 million in item processing fees, $4.5 million in travel expenses and $4.3 million in business development.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
Noninterest expense increased $2.2 billion to $3.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. Noninterest expense increased primarily due to goodwill impairment offset in part by decreases in salaries, benefits and commissions.
Salaries, benefits and commissions expense decreased to $561.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $589.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, related to lower incentives.
Professional services expense represents fees incurred for the various support functions, which includes legal, consulting, outsourcing and other professional related fees. Professional services increased during the six months ended June 30, 2020, to $148.3 million compared to $137.7 million for the corresponding period in 2019 primarily due to a $5.6 million increase in outsourcing and professional services paid to BBVA and a $2.1 million increase in bankcard fees.

74


Goodwill impairment was $2.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to no goodwill impairment during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Refer to "—Goodwill" and Note 5, Goodwill, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Tax Expense
Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
The Company’s income tax (benefit) expense totaled $(110.1) million and $30.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate was 46.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 16.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The tax rate was primarily impacted by the Company's higher loss before income tax for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
The Company’s income tax (benefit) expense totaled $(115.2) million and $66.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective tax rate was 4.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 18.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily impacted by an unfavorable permanent difference related to goodwill impairment for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Analysis of Financial Condition
A review of the Company’s major balance sheet categories is presented below.
Federal Funds Sold, Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Interest Bearing Deposits
Federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreements to resell and interest bearing deposits totaled $11.7 billion at June 30, 2020, compared to $5.8 billion December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by a $5.9 billion increase in interest bearing deposits with the Federal Reserve.
Trading Account Assets
Trading account assets totaled $1.0 billion at June 30, 2020, compared to $474 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in trading account assets primarily related to increases in the fair value of interest rate derivative contracts for customers.
Debt Securities
At June 30, 2020, the securities portfolio included $5.8 billion in available for sale debt securities and $8.7 billion in held to maturity debt securities for a total debt securities portfolio of $14.5 billion, an increase of $441 million compared with December 31, 2019.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company received proceeds of $863.7 million related to the sale of U.S. Treasury securities and agency collateralized mortgage obligations securities classified as available for sale which resulted in a net gain of $22.6 million. The Company also purchased approximately $2.4 billion of agency collateralized mortgage obligations that were classified as held to maturity.
Lending Activities
The Company groups its loans into portfolio segments based on internal classifications reflecting the manner in which the allowance for loan losses is established and how credit risk is measured, monitored and reported. Commercial loans are comprised of commercial, financial and agricultural, real estate — construction, and commercial real estate–mortgage loans. Consumer loans are comprised of residential real estate — mortgage, equity lines of credit, equity loans, credit cards, consumer direct and consumer indirect loans.

Loans and loans held for sale, net of unearned income, totaled $68.5 billion at June 30, 2020, an increase of $4.4 billion from December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to the impact of $3.1 billion of SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans, which are primarily categorized in the commercial, financial and agricultural category in the table above, that the Company has facilitated to assist its commercial customers during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as reflecting an increase in line of credit draws as companies responded to liquidity needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
See Note 3, Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses, and Note 4, Loan Sales and Servicing, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets, which includes nonaccrual loans, nonaccrual loans held for sale, accruing loans 90 days past due, accruing TDRs 90 days past due, foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets, totaled $855 million at June 30, 2020, an increase of $145 million, compared to $710 million at December 31, 2019. The increase in nonperforming assets was primarily driven by a $121.3 million increase in commercial, financial and agricultural nonaccrual loans, primarily in the energy sector. As a percentage of total loans and loans held for sale, foreclosed real estate and other repossessed assets, nonperforming assets were 1.25% at June 30, 2020 compared with 1.11% at December 31, 2019.
The Company defines potential problem loans as commercial loans rated substandard or doubtful that do not meet the definition of nonaccrual, TDR or 90 days past due and still accruing. See Note 3, Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Company’s credit grade categories, which are derived from standard regulatory rating definitions.

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

79


3, Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

The Company’s aggregate recorded investment in loans modified through TDRs was $247 million at June 30, 2020 compared to $215 million at December 31, 2019. Included in these amounts are $96 million at June 30, 2020 and $98 million at December 31, 2019 of accruing TDRs. Accruing TDRs are not considered nonperforming because they are performing in accordance with the restructured terms.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in March 2020 the Company began providing financial hardship relief in the form of payment deferrals and forbearances to consumer and commercial customers across a wide array of lending products, as well as the suspension of vehicle repossessions and home foreclosures. The payment deferrals and forbearances are currently expected to cover periods of three to six months. In most cases, if the loans have been restructured for COVID-19 related hardships and meet certain criteria under the CARES Act they are not classified as TDRs and do not result in loans being placed on nonaccrual status.  At June 30, 2020, the Company had granted loan deferrals on approximately 63 thousand loans with an amortized cost of $7.2 billion. Deferred principal and interest balances at June 30, 2020 were $129.7 million and $77.1 million, respectively.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Management’s policy is to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to absorb expected losses over the life of the loan portfolio. The Company adopted ASC 326 effective January 1, 2020. See Note 3, Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosures regarding the allowance for loan losses.
The total allowance for loan losses increased to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2020, from $921 million at December 31, 2019. The Company adopted ASC 326 effective January 1, 2020, and recorded a $184.9 million increase to its allowance for loan losses that was reflected as an adjustment to shareholder's equity, net of taxes. The increase was largely attributable to the residential real estate and consumer loan portfolios, given the longer asset duration associated with these portfolios.
The increase in the allowance for loan losses during the six months ended June 30, 2020, reflected an increase in expected losses over the life of the loan portfolio. The most significant driver of this increase is attributable to the recognition of the COVID-19 pandemic through an update to the reasonable and supportable macroeconomic forecast included in the baseline calculation, which most significantly impacted the commercial loan portfolios, but also drove increases in the consumer loan portfolio. The macroeconomic forecast utilized as of June 30, 2020, represented the best information available at the end of the reporting period, and included the following considerations:
Significant deterioration from economic scenarios considered as of March 31, 2020, particularly impacting GDP and unemployment.

80


Very steep economic contraction in the second quarter of 2020, with a recovery starting in the third quarter of 2020.
Very substantial increase in unemployment with a peak during the second quarter of 2020 and subsequent hiring rebound.
Significant and lingering negative impact on commercial real estate prices. Aggregate commercial real estate projections are also lower in the short term, but are projected to rebound more quickly than in the prior forecast scenario.
Further, due to the level of uncertainty related to the economic outlook, a more conservative downside economic scenario was included as part of the qualitative framework adjustments at March 31, 2020. However, as the macroeconomic forecast used in the June 30, 2020 baseline scenario deteriorated to a level worse than the downside economic scenario, the downside economic scenario consideration was removed from the qualitative framework adjustments as of June 30, 2020. This was offset by an increase in the adjustment to reflect the impact of the macroeconomic scenarios on loan portfolios without econometric models.
An additional driver of the increase in the allowance for loan losses is the recognition of the decline in oil prices on the energy portfolio. Management recognized a qualitative factor adjustment at March 31, 2020, separately from the baseline scenario considerations as oil prices are not a significant driver of the econometric models used in the baseline allowance calculation. This qualitative factor adjustment remained in place as of June 30, 20202, due to concerns around continued volatility in oil prices.
The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 2.57% at June 30, 2020 compared to 1.44% at December 31, 2019. Nonperforming loans were $831 million at June 30, 2020 compared to $678 million at December 31, 2019.
Net charge-offs were 0.72% of average loans for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 0.90% of average loans for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the corresponding period in 2019, was primarily driven by a $16.9 million decrease in commercial, financial and agricultural net charge-offs and a $14.9 million decrease in consumer direct net charge-offs offset by an $8.6 million increase in commercial real estate-mortgage net charge-offs and a $3.7 million increase in credit card net charge-offs.
Net charge-offs were 0.71% of average loans for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 0.77% of average loans for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the corresponding period in 2019 was driven in part by a $17.0 million decrease in consumer direct net charge-offs and a $5.4 million decrease in consumer indirect net charge-offs offset by an $8.6 million increase in commercial real estate - mortgage net charge-offs and a $7.9 million increase in credit card net charge-offs.

Commercial, Financial and Agricultural
In accordance with the Company's lending policy, each commercial loan undergoes a detailed underwriting process, which incorporates the Company's risk tolerance, credit policy and procedures. In addition, the Company has a graduated

82


approval process which accounts for the quality, loan type and total exposure of the borrower. The Company has also adopted an internal exposure-based limit which is based on a variety of risk factors, including but not limited to the borrower industry.
The commercial, financial and agricultural portfolio segment totaled $28.8 billion at June 30, 2020 compared to $24.4 billion at December 31, 2019. This segment consists primarily of large national and international companies and small to mid-sized companies. This portfolio segment also contains owner occupied commercial real estate loans. Loans in this portfolio are generally underwritten individually and are secured with the assets of the company, and/or the personal guarantees of the business owners. The Company minimizes the risk associated with this portfolio segment by various means, including maintaining prudent advance rates, financial covenants, and obtaining personal guarantees from the principals of the borrower.

Commercial Real Estate
The commercial real estate portfolio segment includes the commercial real estate and real estate - construction loan portfolios. Commercial real estate loans totaled $13.8 billion and $13.9 billion at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and real estate — construction loans totaled $2.3 billion and $2.0 billion at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
This portfolio segment consists primarily of extensions of credits to real estate developers and investors for the financing of land and buildings, whereby the repayment is generated from the sale of the real estate or the income generated by the real estate property. The Company attempts to minimize risk on commercial real estate properties by various means, including requiring collateral with values that exceed the loan amount, adequate cash flow to service

83


the debt, and the personal guarantees of principals of the borrowers. In order to minimize risk on the construction portfolio, the Company has established an operations group outside of the lending staff which is responsible for loan disbursements during the construction process.
The following tables present the geographic distribution for the commercial real estate and real estate — construction portfolios.

Residential Real Estate
The residential real estate portfolio includes residential real estate — mortgage loans, equity lines of credit and equity loans. The residential real estate portfolio primarily contains loans to individuals, which are secured by single-family residences. Loans of this type are generally smaller in size than commercial real estate loans and are geographically dispersed throughout the Company's market areas, with some guaranteed by government agencies or private mortgage insurers. Losses on residential real estate loans depend, to a large degree, on the level of interest rates, the unemployment rate, economic conditions and collateral values.

84


Residential real estate — mortgage loans totaled $13.4 billion at June 30, 2020 and $13.5 billion at December 31, 2019. Risks associated with residential real estate — mortgage loans are mitigated through rigorous underwriting procedures, collateral values established by independent appraisers and mortgage insurance. In addition, the collateral for this portfolio segment is concentrated in the Company's footprint as indicated in the table below.

Foreign Exposure
As of June 30, 2020, foreign exposure risk did not represent a significant concentration of the Company's total portfolio of loans and was substantially represented by borrowers domiciled in Mexico and foreign borrowers currently residing in the United States. 
Goodwill
Goodwill totaled $2.3 billion and $4.5 billion at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and is allocated to each of the Company’s reporting units, the level at which goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more often if events and circumstances indicate impairment may exist. At June 30, 2020 the goodwill, net of accumulated impairment losses, attributable to each of the Company’s three identified reporting units is as follows: Commercial Banking and Wealth - $1.9 billion, Retail Banking - $136 million, and Corporate and Investment Banking - $262 million.
A test of goodwill for impairment consists of comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The carrying value of equity for each reporting unit is determined from an allocation based upon risk weighted assets. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

87


The Company evaluates each reporting unit's goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of October 31, or more often if events or circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. Adverse changes in the economic environment, declining operations, or other factors could result in a decline in the implied fair value of goodwill. At March 31, 2020, the Company assessed the indicators of goodwill impairment as it related to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company including: recent operating performance, market conditions, regulatory actions and assessment, change in the business climate, company-specific factors, and trends in the banking industry. Based on the assessment of these indicators, interim quantitative testing of goodwill was required for all of the Company's reporting units as of March 31, 2020. The results of this test indicated $2.2 billion of goodwill impairment related to the following reporting units: Corporate and Investment Banking - $164 million, Commercial Banking and Wealth - $729 million, and Retail Banking - $1.3 billion. The primary causes of the goodwill impairment were the volatility in the market capitalization of U.S. banks along with revised management projections based on the current economic and industry conditions.  These factors resulted in the fair value of the reporting units being less than the reporting unit's carrying value.   
At June 30, 2020, the Company assessed events and circumstances as it related to the continued impact of COVID-19 on the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2020, including: recent operating performance, market conditions, regulatory actions and assessment, change in the business climate, company-specific factors, and trends in the banking industry. After assessing the indicators noted above, the Company determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit had declined below their carrying value as of June 30, 2020. Therefore, the Company determined that a test of goodwill impairment was not required for each of the reporting units for the June 30, 2020 interim period. The Company will continue to monitor for indicators of impairment throughout 2020.
Funding Activities
Deposits are the primary source of funds for lending and investing activities and their cost is the largest category of interest expense. The Company also utilizes brokered deposits as a funding source in addition to customer deposits. Scheduled payments, as well as prepayments, and maturities from portfolios of loans and investment securities also provide a stable source of funds. FHLB advances, other secured borrowings, federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowed funds, as well as longer-term debt issued through the capital markets, all provide supplemental liquidity sources. The Company’s funding activities are monitored and governed through the Company’s asset/liability management process.
The Company's and the Bank's credit ratings at June 30, 2020 were as follows:

Borrowed Funds
In addition to internal deposit generation, the Company also relies on borrowed funds as a supplemental source of funding. Borrowed funds consist of short-term borrowings, FHLB advances, subordinated debentures and other long-term borrowings.
Short-term borrowings are primarily in the form of federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings.
The short-term borrowings table presents the distribution of the Company’s short-term borrowed funds and the corresponding weighted average interest rates. Also provided are the maximum outstanding amounts of borrowings, the average amounts of borrowings and the average interest rates at period-end.

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, FHLB and other borrowings were $3.6 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had $1.0 million of proceeds received from FHLB and other borrowings and repayments were approximately $228.9 million.
Shareholder’s Equity
Total shareholder's equity was $11.3 billion at June 30, 2020, compared to $13.4 billion at December 31, 2019, a decrease of $2.1 billion. Shareholder's equity decreased $2.4 billion due to losses attributable to the Company during the period offset, in part, by increases of $405 million in accumulated other comprehensive income largely attributable to a decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale securities and cash flow hedging instruments. Additionally, the impact of the adoption of ASC 326 decreased shareholder's equity by $150 million.
Risk Management
In the normal course of business, the Company encounters inherent risk in its business activities. The Company’s risk management approach includes processes for identifying, assessing, managing, monitoring and reporting risks. Management has grouped the risks facing its operations into the following categories: credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, market risk, model risk, reputational risk, fiduciary risk, suitability risk, compliance risk, legal risk, and strategic and business risk. Each of these risks is managed through the Company’s ERM program. The ERM program provides the structure and framework necessary to identify, measure, control and manage risk across the organization. ERM is the cornerstone for defining risk tolerance, identifying and monitoring key risk indicators, managing capital and integrating the Company’s capital planning process with on-going risk assessments and related stress testing for major risks.
Market Risk Management
The effective management of market risk is essential to achieving the Company’s strategic financial objectives. As a financial institution, the Company’s most significant market risk exposure is interest rate risk in its balance sheet; however, market risk also includes product liquidity risk, price risk and volatility risk in the Company’s lines of business. The primary objectives of market risk management are to minimize any adverse effect that changes in market risk factors may have on net interest income, and to offset the risk of price changes for certain assets recorded at fair value.
Interest Rate Market Risk
The Company’s net interest income and the fair value of its financial instruments are influenced by changes in the level of interest rates. The Company manages its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through policies established by its Asset/Liability Committee. The Asset/Liability Committee meets regularly and has responsibility for approving asset/liability management policies, formulating strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and/or earnings and reviewing the interest rate sensitivity of the Company.
Management utilizes an interest rate simulation model to estimate the sensitivity of the Company’s net interest income to changes in interest rates. Such estimates are based upon a number of assumptions for each scenario, including the level of balance sheet growth, deposit repricing characteristics and the rate of prepayments.

90


The estimated impact on the Company’s net interest income sensitivity over a one-year time horizon at June 30, 2020, is shown in the table below. Such analysis assumes a gradual and sustained parallel shift in interest rates, expectations of balance sheet growth and composition and the Company’s estimate of how interest-bearing transaction accounts would reprice in each scenario using current yield curves at June 30, 2020.

Management modeled only a 25 basis point decline because larger declines would have resulted in a federal funds rate of less than zero.
The following table shows the effect that the indicated changes in interest rates would have on EVE. Inherent in this calculation are many assumptions used to project lifetime cash flows for every item on the balance sheet that may or may not be realized, such as deposit decay rates, prepayment speeds and spread assumptions. This measurement only values existing business without consideration of new business or potential management actions.

The Company is also subject to trading risk. The Company utilizes various tools to measure and manage price risk in its trading portfolios. In addition, the Board of Directors of the Company has established certain limits relative to positions and activities. The level of price risk exposure at any given point in time depends on the market environment and expectation of future price and market movements, and will vary from period to period.
Derivatives
The Company uses derivatives primarily to manage economic risks related to commercial loans, mortgage banking operations, long-term debt and other funding sources. The Company also uses derivatives to facilitate transactions on behalf of its clients. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts of $60.9 billion. The estimated net fair value of open contracts was in an asset position of $631 million at June 30, 2020. For additional information about derivatives, refer to Note 6, Derivatives and Hedging, in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity Management
Liquidity is the ability of the Company to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Liquidity management involves maintaining the Company’s ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow requirements of its customers, whether they are depositors wishing to withdraw funds or borrowers requiring funds to meet their credit needs. Without proper liquidity management, the Company would not be able to perform the primary function of a financial intermediary and would, therefore, not be able to meet the needs of the communities it serves.

91


The Company regularly assesses liquidity needs under various scenarios of market conditions, asset growth and changes in credit ratings. The assessment includes liquidity stress testing which measures various sources and uses of funds under the different scenarios. The assessment provides regular monitoring of unused borrowing capacity and available sources of contingent liquidity to prepare for unexpected liquidity needs and to cover unanticipated events that could affect liquidity.
The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily through unencumbered securities available for sale, loan principal and interest payments, maturities and prepayments of investment securities held to maturity and, to a lesser extent, sales of investment securities available for sale and trading account assets. Other short-term investments such as federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell, are additional sources of liquidity.
The liability portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity through various customers’ interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit accounts and through FHLB and other borrowings. Brokered deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings as well as excess borrowing capacity with the FHLB and access to the debt capital markets are additional sources of liquidity and, basically, represent the Company’s incremental borrowing capacity. These sources of liquidity are used as necessary to fund asset growth and meet short-term liquidity needs.
The Company's financing arrangement with the FHLB adds additional flexibility in managing the Company's liquidity position. At June 30, 2020, the Company had unused FHLB borrowing capacity of $8.6 billion. Additionally, the Company had Federal Reserve discount window availability of $13.9 billion at June 30, 2020.
In addition to the Company’s financial performance and condition, liquidity may be impacted by the Parent’s structure as a holding company that is a separate legal entity from the Bank. The Parent requires cash for various operating needs including payment of dividends to its shareholder, the servicing of debt, and the payment of general corporate expenses. The primary source of liquidity for the Parent is dividends paid by the Bank. Applicable federal and state statutes and regulations impose restrictions on the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank. In addition to the formal statutes and regulations, regulatory authorities also consider the adequacy of the Bank’s total capital in relation to its assets, deposits and other such items. Due to the net earnings restrictions on dividend distributions under Alabama law, the Bank was not permitted to pay dividends at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019 without regulatory approval. Appropriate limits and guidelines are in place to ensure the Parent has sufficient cash to meet operating expenses and other commitments without relying on subsidiaries or capital markets for funding. Any future dividends paid from the Parent must be set forth as capital actions in the Company's capital plans and not objected to by the Federal Reserve Board. The Company has paid no common dividends to BBVA during 2020.
The Company’s ability to raise funding at competitive prices is affected by the rating agencies’ views of the Company’s credit quality, liquidity, capital and earnings. Management meets with the rating agencies on a routine basis to discuss the current outlook for the Company.
At June 30, 2020, the Company's LCR was 144% and was fully compliant with the LCR requirements. However, the Company is no longer subject to the LCR going forward as a result of the Tailoring Rules. It may become subject to the LCR again in the future if the Company becomes a Category IV U.S. IHC under the Tailoring Rules.
Management believes that the current sources of liquidity are adequate to meet the Company’s requirements and plans for continued growth.
Capital
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum risk-based and leverage capital requirements can subject the Company and the Bank to a series of increasingly restrictive regulatory actions.

At June 30, 2020, the regulatory capital ratios of the Bank exceeded the “well-capitalized” standard for banks based on applicable U.S. regulatory capital requirements. The Company continually monitors these ratios to ensure that the Bank exceeds this standard.
The Company has elected the ‘five-year transition’ for the ASC 326 accounting standard from the banking agencies’ interim final rule announced on March 27, 2020. This five-year transition election allows banking organizations to defer certain effects of the ASC 326 accounting standard on their regulatory capital. Specifically, this interim final rule allows for 25% of the cumulative increase in the allowance for credit losses since the adoption of ASC 326 and 100% of the day-one impact of ASC 326 adoption to be deferred for a two-year period. This two-year period will be followed by a three-year transition period to phase-in the impact of the deferred amounts on regulatory capital

Risk Factors
Various risk and uncertainties could affect the Company's business. These risks are described elsewhere in this report and the Company's other filings with the SEC, including the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2019.
The following discussion updates the risk factors disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2019.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the Company's business and financial results, and the ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic. 
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, disrupted global supply chains, lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, and increased unemployment levels. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of many businesses and the institution of social distancing and sheltering in place requirements in many states and communities. Despite the partial lifting of some of these measures in some of the states in our geographic footprint, the recent increase in cases in the United States means that it remains unknown when there will be a return to normal economic activity.
As a result, the demand for the Company's products and services has been and may continue to be significantly impacted, which impact has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our revenue. Furthermore, the pandemic has resulted and could continue to result in the recognition of credit losses in our loan portfolios and increases in our allowance for credit losses, particularly if businesses remain closed, the impact on the global economy worsens, or more customers draw on their lines of credit or seek additional loans to help finance their businesses. Similarly, because of changing economic and market conditions affecting issuers, we have recognized and may be required to recognize additional impairments of our goodwill. Our business operations may also be disrupted if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic, and we have already temporarily closed certain of our branches and offices. In response to the pandemic, we have also suspended residential property foreclosure sales, evictions, and involuntary automobile repossessions, and are offering fee waivers, payment deferrals, and other expanded assistance for credit card, automobile, mortgage, and other consumer and commercial customers, and future governmental actions may require the continuance or the expansion of these and other types of customer-related responses.
Among other relief programs, we are participating in the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program. Paycheck Protection Program loans are fixed, low interest rate loans that are guaranteed by the SBA and subject to numerous other regulatory requirements, and a borrower may apply to have all or a portion of the loan forgiven. If Paycheck Protection Program borrowers fail to qualify for loan forgiveness, we face a heightened risk of holding these loans at unfavorable interest rates for an extended period of time. While the Paycheck Protection Program loans are guaranteed by the SBA, various regulatory requirements will apply to our ability to seek recourse under the guarantees, and related procedures are currently subject to uncertainty. If a borrower defaults on a Paycheck Protection Program loan, these requirements and uncertainties may limit our ability to fully recover against the loan guarantee or to seek full recourse against the borrower.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.
To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect the global economy, and/or adversely affects our business, results of operations or financial condition, it may also have the effect of increasing the likelihood and/

or magnitude of other risks described in the section captioned “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, including those risks related to market, credit, geopolitical and business operations.

Volatile or declining oil prices could adversely affect the Company's performance.
As of June 30, 2020, energy-related loan balances represented approximately 4.4 percent of the Bank’s total loan portfolio. This amount is comprised of loans directly related to energy, such as exploration and production, pipeline transportation of natural gas, crude oil and other refined petroleum products, oil field services, and refining and support. In late 2014, oil prices began to decline and continued to decline through the first half of 2016, which at the time had and continues to have an adverse effect on some of the Bank’s borrowers in this portfolio and on the value of the collateral securing some of these loans. The recent steep decline in oil prices, including, at times, dropping below zero dollars per barrel, in March and April 2020 has again adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact some of the Bank’s customers in this industry, including with respect to the cash flows of such customers which could impair their ability to service any loans outstanding to them and/or reduce demand for loans. These factors could result in higher delinquencies and greater charge-offs in future periods, which could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. Furthermore, energy production and related industries represent a significant part of the economies in some of the Bank’s primary markets. A prolonged period of low or volatile oil prices could have a negative impact on the economies and real estate markets of states such as Texas, which could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

Other Information
Disclosure Pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act
The Company discloses the following information pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act, which requires an issuer to disclose whether it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran or with natural persons or entities designated by the U.S. government under specified executive orders, including activities not prohibited by U.S. law and conducted outside the United States by non-U.S. affiliates in compliance with local law. In order to comply with this requirement, the Company has requested relevant information from its affiliates globally.
The Company has not knowingly engaged in activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran or with natural persons or entities designated by the U.S. government under the specified executive orders.
Because the Company is controlled by BBVA, a Spanish corporation, the Company's disclosure includes activities, transactions or dealings conducted outside the United States by non-U.S. affiliates of BBVA and its consolidated subsidiaries that are not controlled by the Company. The BBVA Group has the following activities, transactions and dealings with Iran requiring disclosure.
Iranian embassy-related activity. The BBVA Group maintains bank accounts in Spain for one employee of the Iranian embassy in Spain. This employee is a Spanish citizen. Estimated gross revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from embassy-related activity, which include fees and/or commissions, did not exceed $4. The BBVA Group does not allocate direct costs to fees and commissions and therefore has not disclosed a separate profit measure.
