CREDIT QUALITY AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
NOTE 4 - CREDIT QUALITY AND THE ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Allowance for Credit Losses    
The Company’s estimate of expected credit losses in its loan and lease portfolios is recorded in the ACL and considers extensive historical loss experience, including the impact of loss mitigation and restructuring programs that the Company offers to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, as well as projected loss severity as a result of loan default.
For a detailed discussion of the ACL reserve methodology and estimation techniques as of December 31, 2024, see Note 6 in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K. There were no significant changes to the ACL reserve methodology during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The following table presents a summary of changes in the ACL for the three months ended March 31, 2025:

Total allowance for credit losses, end of period$1,312 $900 $2,212 
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net charge-offs of $200 million and a provision for expected credit losses of $153 million resulted in a decrease of $47 million to the ACL.
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell $1.9 billion of Non-Core education loans and subsequently reclassified these loans to LHFS. Upon reclassification to LHFS, a $25 million charge-off was recognized. This transaction will settle ratably each quarter throughout 2025, with $200 million settled during the first quarter.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s ACL economic forecast over a two-year reasonable and supportable period reflects a mild recession inclusive of uncertainties related to the implementation of tariffs and protectionist trade policies, inflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions. This forecast projects peak unemployment of approximately 5.1%, consistent with December 31, 2024, and a start-to-trough real GDP decline of approximately 0.5% and 0.4% at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and is generally applied to the retail and commercial and industrial portfolios. More severe economic scenarios are applied within the CRE portfolio, such as general office, with peak unemployment of approximately 9.3% and start-to-trough real GDP decline of approximately 4.4% at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company presents loan and lease portfolio segments and classes by credit quality indicator and vintage year and defines the vintage date for the purpose of this disclosure as the date of the most recent credit decision. Renewals are categorized as new credit decisions and reflect the renewal date as the vintage date, except for renewals of loans modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, or FDMs, which are presented in the original vintage.
The Company utilizes internal risk ratings to monitor credit quality for commercial loans and leases. For more information on these ratings see Note 6 in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of commercial loans and leases by vintage date and internal risk rating as of March 31, 2025:

For retail loans, the Company utilizes FICO credit scores and the loan’s payment and delinquency status to monitor credit quality. Management believes FICO scores are the strongest indicator of credit losses over the contractual life of the loan and assist management in predicting the borrower’s future payment performance. Scores are based on current and historical national industry-wide consumer level credit performance data.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of retail loans by vintage date and current FICO score as of March 31, 2025:

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
The Company offers loan modifications, characterized as FDMs, to retail and commercial borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as a result of its loss mitigation activities that may result in a payment delay, interest rate reduction, term extension, principal forgiveness, or combination thereof. Payment delays consist of modifications that result in a delay of contractual amounts due greater than three months over a rolling 12-month period. Term extensions consist of modifications that result in an extension of the contractual maturity date greater than three months or a significant deferral of principal payments relative to the total outstanding principal balance of the loan.
Commercial loan modifications are offered on a case-by-case basis and generally include a payment delay, term extension and/or interest rate reduction. The Company does not typically offer principal forgiveness for commercial loans. Retail loan modifications are offered through structured loan modification programs, which are summarized below.
Forbearance programs provide borrowers experiencing some form of hardship a period of time during which their contractual payment obligations are suspended, resulting in a payment delay and/or term extension.
Other repayment plans are offered due to hardship and include an interest rate reduction and/or term extension designed to enable the borrower to return the loan to current status in an expeditious manner.
Settlement agreements may be executed with borrowers experiencing a long-term hardship or who are delinquent, resulting in principal forgiveness. Upon fulfillment of the terms of the settlement agreement, the unpaid principal amount is forgiven resulting in a charge-off of the outstanding principal balance.
Certain reorganization bankruptcy judgments may result in any one of the four modification types or some combination thereof.
The following tables present the period-end amortized cost of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, disaggregated by class of financing receivable and modification type. The modification type reflects the cumulative effect of all FDMs received during the indicated period.
