As of June 30, 2020, 447 debt securities available for sale with a combined fair value of $6.6 billion were in an unrealized loss position, with their unrealized losses totaling $51.7 million. Unrealized losses of $21.9 million and $24.4 million related to government-sponsored agency and other asset-backed securities, respectively, are primarily attributable to changes in market interest rates and credit spreads since their purchase. Unrealized losses related to corporate debt securities with no credit losses reported of $2.7 million are primarily attributable to changes in credit spreads since purchase. As of June 30, 2020, 22% of the corporate debt portfolio was backed by guarantees provided by U.S. and non-U.S. governmental entities. The remaining unrealized losses on Northern Trust’s debt securities available for sale portfolio as of June 30, 2020, are attributable to changes in overall market interest rates, credit spreads or reduced market liquidity.

As of June 30, 2020, Northern Trust did not intend to sell any debt securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position and it was more likely than not that Northern Trust would not be required to sell any such investment before the recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity.

Debt securities available for sale impairment reviews are conducted quarterly to identify and evaluate securities that have indications of possible credit losses. A determination as to whether a security’s decline in market value is related to credit impairment takes into consideration numerous factors and the relative significance of any single factor can vary by security. Factors Northern Trust considers in determining whether impairment is credit related include, but are not limited to, the severity of the impairment; the cause of the impairment and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; activity in the market of the issuer, which may indicate adverse credit conditions; Northern Trust’s intent regarding the sale of the security as of the balance sheet date; and the likelihood that Northern Trust will not be required to sell the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis. For each security meeting the requirements of Northern Trust’s internal screening process, an extensive review is conducted to determine if a credit loss has occurred.

The credit provision of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 for corporate debt securities available for sale reduced the ending allowance for credit losses balance for this category to zero at June 30, 2020. The process for identifying credit losses for corporate debt available for sale securities is based on the best estimate of cash flows to be collected from the security, discounted using the security’s effective interest rate. If the present value of the expected cash flows is found to be less than the current amortized cost of the security, an allowance for credit losses is generally recorded equal to the difference between the two amounts, limited to the amount the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value of the security. For additional information, please refer to Note 7 — Allowance for Credit Losses.

Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
