FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2024

NOTE 12 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Citizens measures or monitors many of its assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is used on a recurring basis for assets and liabilities for which fair value is the required or elected measurement basis of accounting. Fair value is also used on a nonrecurring basis to evaluate assets for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Fair value measurement guidance is also applied to determine amounts reported for certain disclosures in this Note for assets and liabilities that are not required to be reported at fair value in the financial statements.

Fair Value Option

Citizens elected to account for residential mortgage LHFS and certain commercial and industrial, and commercial real estate LHFS at fair value. The following table presents the difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate unpaid principal balance of LHFS measured at fair value:


	March 31, 2024			December 31, 2023
(dollars in millions)	Aggregate Fair Value	Aggregate Unpaid Principal	Aggregate Fair Value Greater (Less) Than Aggregate Unpaid Principal	Aggregate Fair Value	Aggregate Unpaid Principal	Aggregate Fair Value Greater (Less) Than Aggregate Unpaid Principal
Residential mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value	$437	$427	$10	$614	$593	$21
Commercial and industrial, and commercial real estate loans held for sale, at fair value	68	74	(6)	62	69	(7)

For more information on the election of the fair value option for these assets see Note 20 in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Citizens utilizes a variety of valuation techniques to measure its assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. For more information on the valuation techniques utilized to measure fair value on a recurring basis, see Note 20 in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.

Short-term investments

Short-term investments include corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury securities managed by the Company’s trading desks. U.S. Treasury securities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as quoted prices in active markets are readily available. The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using a combination of direct market quotes for a particular bond, or a comparable bond if recent market data is not available, and a discounted cash flow model that incorporates certain credit attributes of the bond issuer. External pricing services are utilized to corroborate the fair value of corporate bonds, which may result in an adjustment to the underlying bond’s valuation if price differences exceed certain thresholds. Corporate bonds are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy given the observable market inputs utilized to value these instruments. Short-term investments are included in interest-bearing deposits in banks in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Short-term borrowed funds

Short-term borrowed funds include short positions in corporate bonds held by the Company’s trading desks and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See “Short-term investments” above for more information regarding the valuation technique utilized to value corporate bonds.
