NOTE 4—LOANS
Loan Portfolio Composition
Our loan portfolio consists of loans held for investment, including loans held in our consolidated trusts, and loans held for sale, and is divided into three portfolio segments: credit card, consumer banking and commercial banking. Credit card loans consist of domestic and international credit card loans. Consumer banking loans consist of auto, home and retail banking loans. Commercial banking loans consist of commercial and multifamily real estate, commercial and industrial, and small-ticket commercial real estate loans.
Our portfolio of loans held for investment also includes certain consumer and commercial loans acquired through business combinations that were recorded at fair value at acquisition and subsequently accounted for based on cash flows expected to be collected, which are referred to as PCI loans. See “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2016 Form 10-K for additional information on the accounting guidance for these loans.
Credit Quality
We closely monitor economic conditions and loan performance trends to manage and evaluate our exposure to credit risk. Trends in delinquency rates are an indicator, among other considerations, of credit risk within our loan portfolio. The level of nonperforming loans represents another indicator of the potential for future credit losses. Accordingly, key metrics we track and use in evaluating the credit quality of our loan portfolio include delinquency and nonperforming loan rates, as well as net charge-off rates and our internal risk ratings of larger balance commercial loans.
The table below presents the composition and an aging analysis of our loans held for investment portfolio as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The delinquency aging includes all past due loans, both performing and nonperforming.

Nonperforming loans generally include loans that have been placed on nonaccrual status. PCI loans are excluded from loans reported as 90 days or more past due and accruing interest as well as nonperforming loans. See “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2016 Form 10-K for additional information on our policies for nonperforming loans.
Credit Card
Our credit card loan portfolio is highly diversified across millions of accounts and numerous geographies without significant individual exposure. We therefore generally manage credit risk on a portfolio basis. The risk in our credit card loan portfolio correlates to broad economic trends, such as unemployment rates and home values, as well as consumers’ financial condition, all of which can have a material effect on credit performance. The primary indicators we assess in monitoring the credit quality and risk of our credit card portfolio are delinquency and charge-off trends, including an analysis of loan migration between delinquency categories over time.
The table below displays the geographic profile of our credit card loan portfolio as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Net charge-offs consist of the unpaid principal balance that we determine to be uncollectible, net of recovered amounts. The net charge-off rate is calculated by dividing annualized net charge-offs by average balance of loans held for investment for the period for each loan category. Net charge-offs and the net charge-off rate are impacted periodically by fluctuations in recoveries, including loan sales.
Consumer Banking
Our consumer banking loan portfolio consists of auto, home and retail banking loans. Similar to our credit card loan portfolio, the risk in our consumer banking loan portfolio correlates to broad economic trends, such as unemployment rates, gross domestic product (“GDP”) and home values, as well as consumers’ financial condition, all of which can have a material effect on credit performance. Delinquency, nonperforming loans and charge-off trends are key indicators we assess in monitoring the credit quality and risk of our consumer banking loan portfolio.
The table below displays the geographic profile of our consumer banking loan portfolio, including PCI loans as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The net charge-off rate is calculated by dividing annualized net charge-offs by average balance of loans held for investment for the period for each loan category.
(2) 
Excluding the impact of PCI loans, the net charge-off rates for our home loan and total consumer banking portfolios were 0.08% and 1.46%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to 0.17% and 1.40%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
(3) 
Nonperforming loan rates are calculated based on nonperforming loans for each category divided by period-end total loans held for investment for each respective category.
(4) 
Excluding the impact of PCI loans, the nonperforming loan rates for our home loan and total consumer banking portfolios were 3.64% and 0.78%, respectively, as of March 31, 2017, compared to 3.81% and 0.90%, respectively, as of December 31, 2016.
Home Loan
Our home loan portfolio consists of both first-lien and second-lien residential mortgage loans. In evaluating the credit quality and risk of our home loan portfolio, we continually monitor a variety of mortgage loan characteristics that may affect the default experience on this loan portfolio, such as vintage, geographic concentrations, lien priority and product type. Certain loan concentrations have experienced higher delinquency rates as a result of the significant decline in home prices after the peak in 2006 and subsequent rise in unemployment. These loan concentrations include loans originated between 2006 and 2008 in an environment of decreasing home sales, broadly declining home prices and more relaxed underwriting standards.
The following table presents the distribution of our home loan portfolio as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, based on selected key risk characteristics.

__________
(1) 
The PCI loan balances with an origination date in the years subsequent to 2012 represent refinancing of previously acquired home loans.
(2) 
Percentages within each risk category are calculated based on period-end amounts.
(3) 
Modified loans are reported in the origination year of the initial borrowing.
(4) 
States listed represent those that have the highest individual concentration of home loans.
Our recorded investment in home loans that are in process of foreclosure was $505 million and $382 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We commence the foreclosure process on home loans when a borrower becomes at least 120 days delinquent in accordance with Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regulations. Foreclosure procedures and timelines vary according to state laws. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying value of the foreclosed residential real estate properties we hold and report as other assets on our consolidated balance sheets totaled $56 million and $69 million, respectively.
Commercial Banking
We evaluate the credit risk of commercial loans using a dual risk rating system. We assign internal risk ratings to loans based on relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to repay their debt. In determining the risk rating of a particular loan, some of the factors considered are the borrower’s current financial condition, historical and projected future credit performance, prospects for support from financially responsible guarantors, the estimated realizable value of any collateral and current economic trends. The scale based on our internal risk rating system is as follows:
Noncriticized: Loans that have not been designated as criticized, frequently referred to as “pass” loans.
Criticized performing: Loans in which the financial condition of the obligor is stressed, affecting earnings, cash flows or collateral values. The borrower currently has adequate capacity to meet near-term obligations; however, the stress, left unabated, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects at some future date.
Criticized nonperforming: Loans that are not adequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as criticized nonperforming have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, which jeopardize the full repayment of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain a credit loss if the deficiencies are not corrected and are generally placed on nonaccrual status.
We use our internal risk rating system for regulatory reporting, determining the frequency of credit exposure reviews, and evaluating and determining the allowance for loan and lease losses for commercial loans. Loans of $1 million or more that are designated as criticized performing and criticized nonperforming are reviewed quarterly by management to determine if they are appropriately classified/rated and whether any impairment exists. Noncriticized loans greater than $1 million are specifically reviewed, at least annually, to determine the appropriate risk rating. In addition, we evaluate the risk rating during the renewal process of any loan or if a loan becomes past due.
The following table presents the geographic distribution and internal risk ratings of our commercial loan portfolio as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Impaired loans include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), all nonperforming commercial loans and nonperforming home loans with a specific impairment. Impaired loans without an allowance generally represent loans that have been charged down to the fair value of the underlying collateral for which we believe no additional losses have been incurred, or where the fair value of the underlying collateral meets or exceeds the loan’s amortized cost.
(2) 
The period-end and average recorded investments of credit card loans include finance charges and fees.
(3) 
Although certain assets from loan recovery inventory are not reported in our loans held for investment, they are included as impaired loans above since they are reported as TDRs.
The total recorded investment of loans modified in TDRs represents $2.4 billion and $2.5 billion of the impaired loans presented above as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Consumer TDRs classified as performing totaled $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Commercial TDRs classified as performing totaled $497 million and $487 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Commitments to lend additional funds on loans modified in TDRs totaled $271 million and $208 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
As part of our loan modification programs to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, we may provide multiple concessions to minimize our economic loss and improve long-term loan performance and collectability. The following tables present the major modification types, recorded investment amounts and financial effects of loans modified in TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

__________
(1) 
Represents the recorded investment of total loans modified in TDRs at the end of the quarter in which they were modified.
(2) 
We present the modification types utilized most prevalently across our loan portfolios. As not every modification type is included in the table above, the total % of TDR activity may not add up to 100%. Some loans may receive more than one type of concession as part of the modification.
(3) 
Represents percentage of loans modified in TDRs during the period that were granted a reduced interest rate.
(4) 
Due to multiple concessions granted to some troubled borrowers, percentages may total more than 100% for certain loan types.
(5) 
Represents weighted average interest rate reduction for those loans that received an interest rate concession.
(6) 
Represents percentage of loans modified in TDRs during the period that were granted a maturity date extension.
(7) 
Represents weighted average change in maturity date for those loans that received a maturity date extension.
(8) 
Represents percentage of loans modified in TDRs during the period that were granted forgiveness or forbearance of a portion of their balance.
(9) 
Represents the gross balance forgiven. For loans modified in bankruptcy, the gross balance reduction represents collateral value write-downs associated with the discharge of the borrower’s obligations.
TDR—Subsequent Defaults of Completed TDR Modifications
The following table presents the type, number and recorded investment amount of loans modified in TDRs that experienced a default during the period and had completed a modification event in the twelve months prior to the default. A default occurs if the loan is either 90 days or more delinquent, has been charged off as of the end of the period presented or has been reclassified from accrual to nonaccrual status.

__________
(1) 
In the U.K., regulators require the acceptance of payment plan proposals in which the modified payments may be less than the contractual minimum amount. As a result, loans entering long-term TDR payment programs in the U.K. typically continue to age and ultimately charge off even when fully in compliance with the TDR program terms.
PCI Loans
Outstanding Balance and Carrying Value of PCI Loans
The table below presents the outstanding balance and the carrying value of PCI loans as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The table also displays loans which would have otherwise been considered impaired at acquisition based on our applicable accounting policies. See “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2016 Form 10-K for information related to our accounting policies for impaired loans.
