LOANS
NOTE 4—LOANS
        
We segregate our loan portfolio into segments, by legal entity, based on the borrower member class, which consists of CFC distribution, CFC power supply, CFC statewide and associate, NCSC and RTFC. We offer both long-term and line of credit loans to our borrowers. Under our long-term loan facilities, a borrower may select a fixed interest rate or a variable interest rate at the time of each loan advance. Line of credit loans are revolving loan facilities and generally have a variable interest rate.

We offer loans under secured long-term facilities with terms generally up to 35 years and line of credit loans. Under secured long-term facilities, borrowers have the option of selecting a fixed or variable rate for a period of one to 35 years for each long-term loan advance. When a selected fixed interest rate term expires, the borrower may select another fixed-rate term or a variable rate. Line of credit loans are revolving loan facilities that typically have a variable interest rate and are generally unsecured. Collateral and security requirements for advances on loan commitments are identical to those required at the time of the initial loan approval.

Loans to Members

Loans to members consist of loans held for investment and loans held for sale. The outstanding amount of loans held for investment is recorded based on the unpaid principal balance, net of discounts, net charge-offs and recoveries, of loans and deferred loan origination costs. The outstanding amount of loans held for sale is recorded based on the lower of cost or fair value. The following table presents loans to members by legal entity, member class and loan type, as of May 31, 2023 and 2022.

Loan Sales

We may transfer whole loans and participating interests to third parties. These transfers are typically made concurrently or within a short period of time with the closing of the loan sale or participation agreement at par value and meet the accounting criteria required for sale accounting. Therefore, we remove the transferred loans or participating interests from our consolidated balance sheets when control has been surrendered and recognize a gain or loss on the sale, if any. We retain a servicing performance obligation on the transferred loans and recognize related servicing fees on an accrual basis over the period for which servicing is provided, as we believe the servicing fee represents adequate compensation. Other than the servicing performance obligation, we have not retained any interest in the loans sold to date. In addition, we have no obligation to repurchase loans that are sold, except in the case of breaches of representations and warranties.

We sold CFC and NCSC loans, at par for cash, totaling $257 million, $171 million and $126 million in fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We recorded immaterial losses on the sale of these loans attributable to the unamortized deferred loan origination costs associated with the transferred loans. We had no loans held for sale as of May 31, 2023. We had loans held for sale totaling $44 million as of May 31, 2022 which were sold at par for cash subsequent to year-end.
Credit Concentration

Concentrations of credit may exist when a lender has large credit exposures to single borrowers, large credit exposures to borrowers in the same industry sector or engaged in similar activities or large credit exposures to borrowers in a geographic region that would cause the borrowers to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions in the region. As a tax-exempt, member-owned finance cooperative, CFC’s principal focus is to provide funding to its rural electric utility cooperative members to assist them in acquiring, constructing and operating electric distribution systems, power supply systems and related facilities.

Because we lend primarily to our rural electric utility cooperative members, we have had a loan portfolio subject to single-industry and single-obligor concentration risks since our inception in 1969. Loans outstanding to electric utility organizations of $32,032 million and $29,584 million as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, accounted for 99% and 98% of total loans outstanding as of each respective date. The remaining loans outstanding in our portfolio were to RTFC members, affiliates and associates in the telecommunications industry. Our credit exposure is partially mitigated by long-term loans guaranteed by the RUS, which totaled $123 million and $131 million as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Single-Obligor Concentration

The outstanding loan exposure for our 20 largest borrowers totaled $6,588 million and $6,220 million as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, representing 20% and 21% of total loans outstanding as of each respective date. Our 20 largest borrowers consisted of 10 distribution systems and 10 power supply systems as of May 31, 2023. In comparison, our 20 largest borrowers consisted of 12 distribution systems and eight power supply systems as of May 31, 2022. The largest total outstanding exposure to a single borrower or controlled group represented 1% of total loans outstanding as of both May 31, 2023 and 2022.

We entered into a long-term standby purchase commitment agreement with Farmer Mac during fiscal year 2016. Under this agreement, we may designate certain long-term loans to be covered under the commitment, subject to approval by Farmer Mac, and in the event any such loan later goes into payment default for at least 90 days, upon request by us, Farmer Mac must purchase such loan at par value. We are required to pay Farmer Mac a monthly fee based on the unpaid principal balance of loans covered under the purchase commitment. The aggregate unpaid principal balance of designated and Farmer Mac-approved loans was $436 million and $493 million as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Loan exposure to our 20 largest borrowers covered under the Farmer Mac agreement totaled $267 million and $316 million as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which reduced our exposure to the 20 largest borrowers to 19% and 20% as of each respective date. We have had no loan defaults for loans covered under this agreement; therefore, no loans have been put to Farmer Mac for purchase pursuant to the standby purchase agreement as of May 31, 2023.

Geographic Concentration

Although our organizational structure and mission results in single-industry concentration, we serve a geographically diverse group of electric and telecommunications borrowers throughout the U.S. The consolidated number of borrowers with loans outstanding totaled 884 and 883 as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, located in 49 states and the District of Columbia. Of the 884 and 883 borrowers with loans outstanding as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, 52 and 49 were electric power supply borrowers as of each respective date. Electric power supply borrowers generally require significantly more capital than electric distribution and telecommunications borrowers.

Texas accounted for the largest number of borrowers with loans outstanding in any one state as of both May 31, 2023 and 2022, as well as the largest concentration of loan exposure. The following table presents the Texas-based number of borrowers and loans outstanding by legal entity and member class, as of May 31, 2023 and 2022.

Credit Quality Indicators

Assessing the overall credit quality of our loan portfolio and measuring our credit risk is an ongoing process that involves tracking payment status, TDRs, nonperforming loans, charge-offs, the internal risk ratings of our borrowers and other indicators of credit risk. We monitor and subject each borrower and loan facility in our loan portfolio to an individual risk assessment based on quantitative and qualitative factors. Payment status trends and internal risk ratings are indicators, among others, of the probability of borrower default and overall credit quality of our loan portfolio.

Payment Status of Loans

Loans are considered delinquent when contractual principal or interest amounts become past due 30 days or more following the scheduled payment due date. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when payment of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due or management determines that the full collection of principal and interest is doubtful. The following table presents the payment status, by legal entity and member class, of loans outstanding as of May 31, 2023 and 2022.

We had one CFC electric power supply borrower, Brazos Sandy Creek Electric Cooperative Inc. (“Brazos Sandy Creek”), with a delinquent loan of $4 million and one NCSC borrower with a delinquent loan of $37 million as of May 31, 2023. In comparison, we had two CFC electric power supply borrowers, Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. (“Brazos”) and Brazos Sandy Creek with delinquent loans totaling $114 million as of May 31, 2022. The decrease in loans on nonaccrual status of $116 million to $112 million as of May 31, 2023, from $228 million was due to the partial charge-offs related to the Brazos and Brazos Sandy Creek loans, and the receipt of loan principal payments on the outstanding nonaccrual loans. See “Troubled Debt Restructurings,” “Nonperforming Loans” and “Net Charge-Offs” below for additional information.

TDR loans totaled $31 million as of May 31, 2023, an increase of $22 million from May 31, 2022, primarily due to the classification of Brazos nonperforming loans to nonperforming TDR loans during the quarter ended February 28, 2023 (“third quarter of fiscal year 2023”). There were no unadvanced commitments related to TDR loans as of May 31, 2023 or May 31, 2022.

The performing TDR loans outstanding have been performing in accordance with the terms of their respective restructured loan agreements for an extended period of time and were on accrual status as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The CFC distribution borrower with the performing TDR loan also had one line of credit as of both May 31, 2023 and 2022. The line of credit facility for $6 million as of both May 31, 2023 and 2022, is restricted for fuel purchases only. Outstanding loans under this facility totaled $2 million and $1 million as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

We had nonperforming TDR loans outstanding to Brazos totaling $23 million as of May 31, 2023, which were on nonaccrual status as of May 31, 2023. Brazos, a CFC Texas-based electric power supply borrower, filed for bankruptcy in March 2021 due to its exposure to elevated wholesale electric power costs during the February 2021 polar vortex. On November 14, 2022, Brazos’ plan of reorganization was confirmed by the bankruptcy court and it became effective on December 15, 2022. Due to Brazos experiencing financial difficulty and the principal loan concession provided to Brazos by the bankruptcy court as part of its approval of Brazos’ plan of reorganization, which was effective on December 15, 2022, the remaining Brazos loans outstanding were moved from nonperforming loans and classified as nonperforming TDR loans during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. We did not have any TDR loans classified as nonperforming as of May 31, 2022. Prior to the Brazos loan restructuring, we have not had any loan modifications that were required to be accounted for as TDRs since fiscal year 2016. In June 2023, we received the remaining payment of Brazos’ loans outstanding of $23 million in accordance with the provisions of Brazos’ plan of reorganization to repay its loans in full.

Nonperforming Loans

In addition to TDR loans that may be classified as nonperforming, we also may have nonperforming loans that have not been modified as a TDR. The following table presents the outstanding balance of nonperforming loans, by legal entity and member class, as of May 31, 2023 and 2022. Loans classified as nonperforming are placed on nonaccrual status.

Nonperforming loans totaled $89 million as of May 31, 2023, a decrease of $139 million from May 31, 2022, due to the receipt of loan principal payments, the partial charge-offs related to the Brazos and Brazos Sandy Creek nonperforming loans, and the classification of Brazos nonperforming loans to TDR loans during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, as discussed above. Brazos’ loans outstanding accounted for $86 million of our total nonperforming loans as of May 31, 2022 and were delinquent and on nonaccrual as of this date.

Brazos Sandy Creek, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brazos and a CFC Texas-based electric power supply borrower, filed for bankruptcy in March 2022 following the filing of a motion by Brazos to reject its power purchase agreement with Brazos Sandy Creek as part of Brazos’ bankruptcy proceedings. Brazos Sandy Creek’s loan outstanding accounted for $4 million and $28 million of our total nonperforming loans as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and was delinquent and on nonaccrual as of each date. The loan is secured by Brazos Sandy Creek’s 25% tenant-in-common (“TIC”) ownership interest in the Brazos Sandy Creek Energy Station (“the Plant”), and its rights under a power purchase agreement (“PPA”) with Brazos for the output of the Brazos Sandy Creek Energy Station attributable to the TIC interest. On December 20, 2022, Brazos Sandy Creek’s 25% TIC ownership interest in the Plant was sold for a credit bid of $105 million to Riesel HoldCo, LLC (“HoldCo,”) an entity formed by the Brazos Sandy Creek noteholders. CFC was allocated ownership shares in HoldCo based on its 7.41% share in the $105 million credit bid, which totaled $8 million that was recorded as an equity investment in HoldCo during the current year in the other assets line of our consolidated balance sheets and reduced the Brazos Sandy Creek loan balance by the same amount. HoldCo intends to manage its ownership interest in the Plant directly and potentially sell it at a future date; however, HoldCo has no current timeline for its disposition. In July 2023, we received the remaining payment of Brazos Sandy Creek’s loan outstanding of $4 million to repay its loans in full.

Net Charge-Offs

Charge-offs represent the amount of a loan that has been removed from our consolidated balance sheet when the loan is deemed uncollectible. Generally the amount of a charge-off is the recorded investment in excess of the discounted expected cash flows from the loan, or, if the loan is collateral dependent, the fair value of the underlying collateral securing the loan. We report charge-offs net of amounts recovered on previously charged-off loans. We experienced charge-offs totaling $15 million for the CFC electric power supply loan portfolio related to Brazos and Brazos Sandy Creek loans during fiscal year 2023, which resulted in a net charge-off rate of 0.05%. In comparison, we had no loan charge-offs during fiscal years ended May 31, 2022 and 2021. Prior to Brazos’ and Brazos Sandy Creek’s bankruptcy filings, we had not experienced any defaults or charge-offs in our electric utility and telecommunications loan portfolios since fiscal years 2013 and 2017, respectively.
Borrower Risk Ratings

As part of our management of credit risk, we maintain a credit risk-rating framework under which we employ a consistent process for assessing the credit quality of our loan portfolio. We evaluate each borrower and loan facility in our loan portfolio and assign internal borrower and loan facility risk ratings based on consideration of a number of quantitative and qualitative factors. Each risk rating is reassessed annually following the receipt of the borrower’s audited financial statements; however, interim risk-rating adjustments may occur as a result of updated information affecting a borrower’s ability to fulfill its obligations or other significant developments and trends. We categorize loans in our portfolio based on our internally assigned borrower risk ratings, which are intended to assess the general creditworthiness of the borrower and probability of default. Our borrower risk ratings align with the U.S. federal banking regulatory agencies’ credit risk definitions of pass and criticized categories, with the criticized category further segmented among special mention, substandard and doubtful. Pass ratings reflect relatively low probability of default, while criticized ratings have a higher probability of default.

The following is a description of the borrower risk-rating categories.

Pass:  Borrowers that are not included in the categories of special mention, substandard or doubtful.
Special Mention:  Borrowers that may be characterized by a potential credit weakness or deteriorating financial condition that is not sufficiently serious to warrant a classification of substandard or doubtful.
Substandard:  Borrowers that display a well-defined credit weakness that may jeopardize the full collection of principal and interest.
Doubtful:  Borrowers that have a well-defined credit weakness or weaknesses that make full collection of principal and interest, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and collateral values, highly questionable and improbable.

Our internally assigned borrower risk ratings serve as the primary credit quality indicator for our loan portfolio. Because our internal borrower risk ratings provide important information on the probability of default, they are a key input in determining our allowance for credit losses.

Table 4.6 displays total loans outstanding, by borrower risk-rating category and by legal entity and member class, as of May 31, 2023 and 2022. The borrower risk-rating categories presented below correspond to the borrower risk-rating categories used in calculating our collective allowance for credit losses. If a parent company provides a guarantee of full repayment of loans of a subsidiary borrower, we include the loans outstanding in the borrower risk-rating category of the guarantor parent company rather than the risk-rating category of the subsidiary borrower for purposes of calculating the collective allowance.

We present term loans outstanding as of May 31, 2023, by fiscal year of origination for each year during the five-year annual reporting period beginning in fiscal year 2019, and in the aggregate for periods prior to fiscal year 2019. The origination period represents the date CFC advances funds to a borrower, rather than the execution date of a loan facility for a borrower. Revolving loans are presented separately due to the nature of revolving loans. The substantial majority of loans in our portfolio represent fixed-rate advances under secured long-term facilities with terms up to 35 years and as indicated in Table 4.6 below, term loan advances made to borrowers prior to fiscal year 2019 totaled $17,123 million, representing 52% of our total loans outstanding as of May 31, 2023. The average remaining maturity of our long-term loans, which accounted for 90% of total loans outstanding as of May 31, 2023, was 19 years.

Criticized loans totaled $323 million and $494 million as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and represented approximately 1% and 2% of total loans outstanding as of each respective date. The decrease of $171 million in criticized loans was due primarily to loan payments received from a CFC electric distribution borrower in the special mention category, and from a CFC electric power supply borrower, Brazos and Brazos Sandy Creek in the doubtful category, and the partial charge-offs related to Brazos and Brazos Sandy Creek loans during fiscal year 2023. Each of the borrowers with loans outstanding in the criticized category, with the exception of Brazos Sandy Creek, was current with regard to all principal and interest amounts due to us as of May 31, 2023. In contrast, each of the borrowers with loans outstanding in the criticized category, with the exception of Brazos and Brazos Sandy Creek, which filed for bankruptcy in March 2021 and
March 2022, respectively, was current with regard to all principal and interest amounts due to us as of May 31, 2022. As mentioned above, subsequent to the year ended May 31, 2023, we received the remaining loan payments of $23 million and $4 million from Brazos and Brazos Sandy Creek, respectively, to repay their loans in full. See Troubled Debt Restructurings and “Nonperforming Loans above for additional information on Brazos and Brazos Sandy Creek, respectively.

Special Mention

One CFC electric distribution borrower with loans outstanding of $194 million and $248 million as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, accounted for the substantial majority of loans in the special mention loan category amount of $211 million and $267 million as of each respective date. This borrower experienced an adverse financial impact from restoration costs incurred to repair damage caused by two successive hurricanes. We expect that the borrower will continue to receive grant funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the state where it is located for the full reimbursement of the hurricane damage-related restoration costs.

Substandard

We did not have any loans classified as substandard as of May 31, 2023 or May 31, 2022.

Doubtful

Loans outstanding classified as doubtful totaled $112 million and $228 million as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, consisting of total loans outstanding to Brazos and Brazos Sandy Creek totaling $27 million and $114 million as of each respective date and loans outstanding to a CFC electric power supply borrower of $85 million and $114 million as of each respective date. See Troubled Debt Restructurings and “Nonperforming Loans above for additional information on these loans.

____________________________
(1)The interest rate on unadvanced loan commitments is not set until an advance is made; therefore, all unadvanced long-term loan commitments are reported as variable rate. However, the borrower may select either a fixed or a variable rate when an advance is drawn under a loan commitment.

The following table displays, by loan type, the available balance under unadvanced loan commitments as of May 31, 2023 and the related maturities in each fiscal year during the five-year period ended May 31, 2028, and thereafter.

Unadvanced line of credit commitments accounted for 62% of total unadvanced loan commitments as of May 31, 2023, while unadvanced long-term loan commitments accounted for 38% of total unadvanced loan commitments. Unadvanced line of credit commitments are typically revolving facilities for periods not to exceed five years and generally serve as supplemental back-up liquidity to our borrowers. Historically, borrowers have not drawn the full commitment amount for line of credit facilities, and we have experienced a very low utilization rate on line of credit loan facilities regardless of whether or not we are obligated to fund the facility where a material adverse change exists.

Our unadvanced long-term loan commitments typically have a five-year draw period under which a borrower may draw funds prior to the expiration of the commitment. We expect that the majority of the long-term unadvanced loan commitments of $5,670 million will be advanced prior to the expiration of the commitment.
Because we historically have experienced a very low utilization rate on line of credit loan facilities, which account for the majority of our total unadvanced loan commitments, we believe the unadvanced loan commitment total of $14,789 million as of May 31, 2023 is not necessarily representative of our future funding requirements.

Unadvanced Loan Commitments—Conditional

The substantial majority of our line of credit commitments and all of our unadvanced long-term loan commitments include material adverse change clauses. Unadvanced loan commitments subject to material adverse change clauses totaled $11,617 million and $10,908 million as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Prior to making an advance on these facilities, we confirm that there has been no material adverse change in the business or condition, financial or otherwise, of the borrower since the time the loan was approved and confirm that the borrower is currently in compliance with loan terms and conditions. In some cases, the borrower’s access to the full amount of the facility is further constrained by the designated purpose, imposition of borrower-specific restrictions or by additional conditions that must be met prior to advancing funds.

Unadvanced Loan Commitments—Unconditional

Unadvanced loan commitments not subject to material adverse change clauses at the time of each advance consisted of unadvanced committed lines of credit totaling $3,172 million and $3,203 million as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As such, we are required to advance amounts on these committed facilities as long as the borrower is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the facility. The following table summarizes the available balance under unconditional committed lines of credit and the related maturity amounts in each of the five fiscal years subsequent to May 31, 2023 and thereafter.
