Noninterest Expense [Abstract]

Other Noninterest Income and Other Noninterest Expense

OTHER NONINTEREST INCOME AND OTHER NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Other noninterest income for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 was $26.0 million, $35.4 million and $34.2 million, respectively. The most significant item in other noninterest income was recoveries on PCI loans that have been previously charged-off. BancShares records the portion of recoveries not covered under shared-loss agreements as noninterest income rather than as an adjustment to the allowance for loan losses. These recoveries were $16.6 million, $21.1 million and $20.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Charge-offs on PCI loans are recorded against the discount recognized on the date of acquisition versus through the allowance for loan losses unless an allowance was established subsequent to the acquisition date due to declining expected cash flow. Other noninterest income also includes FHLB dividends and other various income items.

Other noninterest expense for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 included the following:
