NOTE 5 — ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

The ALLL is reported as a separate line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, while the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposure is included in other liabilities, presented in Note 13—Other Liabilities. The provision or benefit for credit losses related to (i) loans and leases (ii) off-balance sheet credit exposure, and (iii) investment securities available for sale is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income as provision or benefit for credit losses.

The initial ALLL for PCD loans and leases acquired in the SVBB Acquisition (the “Initial PCD ALLL”) was established through a PCD gross-up and there was no corresponding increase to the provision for credit losses.

The initial ALLL for Non-PCD loans and leases acquired in the SVBB Acquisition was established through a corresponding increase to the provision for credit losses (the “day 2 provision for loan and lease losses”).

The initial reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposure acquired in the SVBB Acquisition was established through a corresponding increase to the provision for off-balance sheet credit exposure (the “day 2 provision for off-balance sheet credit exposure”).

The accounting policy for loans and off-balance sheet credit exposure acquired in a business combination is further discussed in Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2023 Form 10-K.

The ALLL activity for loans and leases is summarized in the following table.
